Why is wallpaper so damn difficult? - G Tablet General

I have had no luck with wallpaper on the G Tablet.
All I want is to have a 1024x600 image and have that be my wallpaper, and I don't want it to change if I rotate to portrait mode. (I mainly use my tablet in portrait mode.)
Using the built-in settings gives me a zoomed image when I go from landscape to portrait.
Using Multipicture Live Wallpaper I either get a zoomed screen or the image centered with black space and a reflection around it.
ALL I want to do is tell this thing, "Here is a 1024x600 image. Make this the wallpaper and DON'T change a thing when I rotate the tablet!" Is this possible?

Try Wallpaper Set and Save, it works for me.

Wallpaper still rotates when I rotate tablet. And it did this weird thing where it hid my launcher and I had to put it to sleep and wake it up to get my icons back.

[Q] Turn off Honeycomb Wallpaper shifting on all screens?

Hello, is it possible to turn of wallpaper shifting? I mean I want to have a single wallpaper on all screens that is not shifted between them, like in Android 2.3 on my Galaxy TAB, I can choose wallpaper format, wide or thin, portrait, that stays the same on all screens and only the desktops move...
Honeycomb has 5 screens, and wallpaper moves slightly through screens left or right. How can I use a wallpaper in the background that stays frozen and only desktops move?
Multipicture Live Wallpaper has a wallpaper for each screen, I want only one wallpaper, with moving desktops.
I have an Acer A500
Im not a fan of shifting wallpaper either. This app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper seemed to fix that for me.

800 x 1280 wallpaper

how to set 800 X 1280 wallpaper properly so that the entire wallpaper is displayed and not some blurred, zoomed in part of the wallpaper.
P.S: iam using ADW launcher and the wallpaper scrolling is switched off.
To have the entire wallpaper displayed without zooming in you need a wallpaper with 1280×800 pixels (hight×width) not 800×1280

the screen resolution is always specified in W X H format and not in HxW format. so my wallpaper resolution is correct and i don't have problem when using wall switch app.
This isn't q&a section.

Sorry mate my bad I got it backwards
Do you have wallpaper scrolling enabled?
To use an 800x1280 wallpaper, you need to disable wallpaper scrolling.
To use wallpaper scrolling you need to have a wider wallpaper since it needs where to scroll. The perfect (native) size for a scrolling wallpaper on Note would be 1600x1280.
edit: nevermind, I missed the part where you said scrolling was switched off. How stupid of me
edit2: just tried switching off wallpaper scrolling and picking a correct-size wallpaper in portrait mode. Didn't work aswell (I also use ADW launcher). When choosing via QuickPic wallpaper, it doesn't even allow me to choose non-scrolling format. When choosing from gallery or using QuickPic and choosing "set as" -> "wallpaper", it allows me to choose the whole wallpaper but afterwards it is still zoomed in as if I had chosen it as a scrolling wallpaper. I don't really care about it, since I like scrolling wallpaper, but just saying I have the same problem. I'm on CheckROM v5 with Abyss v3.6
I use QuickPic to see my wallpapers without any loss in resolution. One thing I noticed about ADW is that if you're using Multipicture Live Wallpaper with it, the 800x1200 wallpapers are not cropped accurately, even when using QuickPic. Strangely, the cropping is fine once I change the launcher to TouchWiz or LauncherPro.
try to set wallpaper with twlauncher and then change to adw or other launcher.....

[Q] Scaling wallpapers for the Droid Razr HD

Does anyone know the dimensions for the Droid Razr HD wallpapers? I'm trying to scale my favorite wallpapers that I have for use on the phone
This is a great question, I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I've seen screenshots 3 ways:
1.) Where the wallpaper extends all the way down behind the buttons.
2.) Where the wallpaper extends half way down behind the buttons.
3.) Where the wallpaper ends at the top of the buttons.
I'd like to know how to get it to go ALL the way down. Even the stock ones stop half way down the buttons for me.
I think this may have something to do with Nova Prime...
Bump. How do we get wallpapers to go all the way down when using Nova?
Standard Android wallpapers are as follows... 1x vertical resolution, 2x horizontal resolution. In the case of the 720x1280 Razr HD, you want to create your wallpaper at 1440x1280. Keep in mind that it'll be centered on the screen and not scroll with the default launcher, but the image still needs to fit that size to avoid the phone resizing it.
Other launchers can turn scrolling on and off, and Wallpaper Wizardrii can resize wallpapers, and will allow you to set 720x1280 images as wallpapers without padding the sides to the double resolution.

Does your background image extend behind the buttons to the bottom edge of the display when using Nova?
When I use Nova Launcher, backgrounds are cut off half way down the buttons, when I go to the default launcher they go all the way down (same wallpaper).
