I noticed, that 800x480 wallpapers (htc Topaz) doesn't fit screen properly - it's a little bit zoomed in, so wallpaper doesn't look as it should be. Anyone knows how to fix it? What size would be appropriate?
I've just found source of problem.

So I'm having trouble with my today wallpaper and the TF3D background wallpaper. I'm using the first image as the jpg (480x640) as the wallpaper. It looks fine. The second and third pictures are my today screen and home touchflo screens. You should be able to tell that the wallpaper is faded now, but on my SecondToday screen the wallpaper looks fine. Is there something I can do to correct this problem? I've searched the forums and all throughout my device, but I can't find a way to correct the problem.
I'm using Energy ROM 2 with Showaco's backgroup wallpaper for all tabs. Is there a way I can bypass the setting of the wallpaper and just copy the image as another name? Where is the wallpaper stored?
If you set your wallpaper in your Today settings it automatically gives it like 40% transparency. No way I have found to change this. However, if you go to Manila settings and change it there, it should have no transparency.
If that doesn't work, try setting your manila wallpaper with this program.
Also for the actual today screen, try this program if you like it to change occassionally.
Thanks Bruce for the suggestions. The Diamond background changer didn't work either. I really don't care about the Today screen being faded, but the manila wallpaper being faded is really annoying.
Anyone else have a suggestion?
Sorry man, I don't have these issues at all.
My backgrounds all look fine.
Go to Pictures and Video (the default picture viewer), and select your picture. Then, select "Use this as home screen / background".

I found a solution. I uninstalled Showaco's All tabs background and reinstalled it and it fixed the problem. I don't know what caused it to begin with, but at least now its' fixed.
I am decorating my HD2 with gothic style wallpaper. I applied the same wallpaper onto the lock screen and home screen, the one on lock screen display perfectly with high resolution and detail, very sharp and bright. However the same wallpaper displayed on home screen is very poor in quality, blur, flat and not in the correct scale.
Is there any specific size i need to crop the wallpaper to inorder to have it display correctly on the home screen? Thanks

480 x 800
Search for HDWall, also apply HQ Wallpaper Patch for your Manila version.

Sorry, i am not sure about what jive means but when you create a wallpaper with HDWall (it is a cab) is for all backgrounds / tabs of Sense.

Jive = work.
is that means simply cropping or creating a 800 x 480 px picture on photoshop will not display correctly when I set it as Home screen wallpaper on HD2? I change the wallpaper by going:
Menu > Home Wallpaper > Weather Wallpaper > (my wallpaper file)
Does it make a different if I had Cookies Home tab and editor installed? I am running a stock rom. Or it is a must to create the wallpaper with the HDWallS and install the HQ Wallpaper Patch for your Manila inorder to have it display correctly?
Thanks~
It doesn't matter the software you use to create a wallpaper, it just has to be 400x800 to fit the whole screen. After that you create a cab by using HDWall and it will make every tab with the same background, HDWall also makes the wallpaper from the top to the bottom (no curtains), remember, install HQWallpaperPatch (the right one for your manila version) to get high quality background in you screen.
Of course, when you have a .jpg or .png file you just copy it to My Documents/My Wallpapers (i don't know if that is the right name in English) and then from your Today screen you can go to Configuration -> Personalize -> LockScreen background and change to whatever you want.

Doesn't matter, when creating a cab with HDWall you don't need BG4All anymore, no need to uninstall.
Rgds,
thanks! I now have installed the patch and created the cab with HDWall. Home screen displayed the wallpaper perfectly now, though seems to be a bit complicate method to have it displayed correctly. Think I need to spend some time getting know HDWall to use it properly.
Is that means I will have to create the cab on a computer each time when I want to change the wallpaper and no alternative method to change it directly like other phones ususally do? Do I have to unstall the current cab before installing the new one?
thanks for your clear explaination. cheers!

No, you do not have to uninstall first, when installing another one your device will uninstall the previous one at first so no worries.
You can also try Bwizard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681341
Another possibilty is changing background wallpaper directly by going to Configuration -> Personalize -> Today Home Screen Background but this way it will only change your Today screen, when you want the same wallpaper in every tab you will have to install BG4All (search for it) and probably a couple of small applications to remove top and bottom curtains.
It's up to you, hope it all will help you.

Hi ive been using this rom for three days now and its brilliant i wouldnt change for any other rom and when i selected a picture as a wallpaper the green cropping bar used to fill the hole picture making it to stop scrolling along a picture it used to show the full picture but today ive changed my wallpaper to something else and it will only crop out so much of the picture can any one help me to stop it scrolling please
What you want to say is not clear to me..
Anyways, I would like to say that Any Sense 3.0 and 3.5 ROM doesnt support wallpaper scrolling due to the carousel effect [The spinning movement at starting of screen]. It would look odd if it would have been enabled
Hello,
I want to set a 1080x1920 picture as wallpaper but I can't make it to fit my screen perfectly - there are either black bars at some sides of the screen or the wallpaper is messed up. I've tried to use Wizardrii and Image2Wallpaper in many ways and this is the closest of what I was able to do: http://i.imgur.com/RuMWRNu.jpg
Any suggestions? I'm using Action Launcher Pro without any additional screens so I don't want my wallpaper to scroll. I would like it to be something like if you set a wallpaper on Windows PC. Plain and simple
Out of interest, are higher res wallpapers better?

Not sure what do you mean but I always like to choose high resolution wallpapers, they simply look nicer for me. Also I prefer static wallpapers over the scrolled ones.:angel:

Screen is 1080x1920 in portrait mode. Not.1920x1080 so make sure you're getting wallpapers then right shape.
If you get a higher resolution than that, it cannot look better. It will either crop or compress (which could look worse) but if you do get a higher resolution than that, do you still get the bars?

I'm aware about differences, that's why I'm looking for 1080x1920 wallpapers instead of reversal Also when I look for higher resolution wallpapers, I usually look for those who are exactly 1.5x or 2x bigger than the native resolution and for those with the same aspect ratio (16:9/9:16 in that case). I'll look for a bigger wallpapers and then let you know.
EDIT: Found a wallpaper which is two (...or four?) times bigger: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/313/d/2/bad_boy_by_p0nystark-d6tnf8n.jpg
Trying to set it as wallpaper resulted in a black bar on top of the screen: http://i.imgur.com/RpFoBGB.jpg
I'm still messing with all the possible options in both of those apps. How come that Android itself is not able to properly set such a wallpaper? For me it is actually ridiculous...

Image 2 wallpaper works great for me.
