How do I add custom wallpapers to the Captivate? I know I can do it through the gallery, but I don't want to crop them. Not only that, but I want them to show up in the actual Wallpapers list. Anyone know?

all wallpapers are 960x800 even if it doesnt ask you to 'crop them' the 'crop' is actually selecting a 960x800 section of the image.
as for them showing up in the actual wallpapers list, that is handled via the launcher.apk
its more trouble than its worth. just go through the gallery
you can have a crop-free picture if you use Doldol wallpaper maker

Where would I save wallpapers to?
I know many of you will say to just stick it in some folder on SDCARD, but I want to press: Menu > Wallpaper > Wallpapers
and have MY wallpapers there.
I like to design my own wallpapers, and would rather have them there, easily accessible, and not have to hunt them down in the Gallery or SDCARD.

You'd have to edit the launcher and replace the default images.
Addendum: All the images would also have to carry the same filenames as the images that are already there. So, in retrospect, you'd have to create the wallpapers and thumbnails for the wallpapers, and then rename them to replace the images in the Launcher2.apk.
Damnit.
I was hoping got a simpler solution
Thanks Mi|enko
Install Wallpaper plus....
I'd like an app free solution.
Surely there must be one.
Too bad there isn't an app solution yet but its not that hard really just editing images and so on and animations seem to be easy as well since its basically ripping and signing from build to build lol.
So, I'm not very happy with the wallpaper options in this phone. I understand that, it's more of HTC Sense setting, but it doesn't let me choose home or lock screen. Plus, when I choose a picture from my gallery to use as a wallpaper, the weird crop square shows up and doesn't let me use the whole picture. What's up with that? Am I missing something? What do other people think?
The wall paper is ok but, I went to the market and downloaded city at night wallpaper and its a lot better for my tastes.

You should use 960x800 sized wallpapers. You can't select the whole picture because your iPhone wallpapers or whatever are the wrong aspect. There are some good downloadable wallpapers in the HTC Hub and there are a million wallpaper apps in the market.
Your wallpaper is scrolling as you swipe left and right to different screens, that's why it's square. I just use 1920X1080 wallpapers and they look fine.
Hi,
I have few high quality jpegs, and want to set them (complete picture) as a wallpaper, but when i open using gallery or media app, i can only select a portion of the image to be my wallpaper thereby sacrificing the resolution of the picture.
If we use Home/Settings/wallpaper and select wallpapers, we can set complete jpeg image as wallpaper; or use hdwallpaper app from market.
But, for our camera images and saved images, is there a way to set the complete picture as wallpaper?

Hello mrmako777,
Thank you.
Can anyone tell me how or where can I find the location of the default wallpapers for the CyanogenMod 10.0 mod for the Xoom Z604. I would like to add my own pics and perhaps modify some. When I choose to change the wallpaper I have to choose the CM Wallpapers app. How can I add more or remove wallpapers from that app.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
your wallpapers are located in the launcher or in an other apk. Put the Wallpaper in the folder "Pictures"
There, they can also be activated by selection.

You can also just go to the gallery, choose your image, and use the option to set the picture as wallpaper. However, doing that way limits the picture with vertical and horizontal frame. I prefer 3rd party app to do that so it can have the whole picture as wallpaper. Questions do not belong in this section though
Is there a way to use my own personal photos along with the photos you are subscribed to in Wallpaper Carousel. I have some photos I like to look at in my lock screen but I also want to see new stuff.
If this isn't possible in Wallpaper Carousel, is there an alternative?
Thanks in advance.
