Setting iPhone Size Wallpapers - Captivate General

Ok so I'm a bit obsessed with wallapapers, and I've found a lot that I like but many are for the iPhone. When I go to set them as my wallpaper I can only set them as a widescreen even if the wallpaper scrolling is off. Does anyone know how to change this, while still allowing me to go back and forth from the setting?

...no one ever answers me

I would like to know as well. It's kinda annoying that it forces you to crop a section out.

You could try to resize the pic on ur pc then reinstall on the device?

No matter what size the photo is you always have to crop it with the widescreen size (or whatever you want to call it). I was looking online and it says you need to change the API but that sounds way to complicated for me and it also sounds like its difficult to change back.
Ps- thanks for posting, I was feeling a bit lonely haha

hopefully this will solve everyones problems:
Download Dodol Wallpaper Maker from the Market and it should size up any image to your screen. All my wallpapers are iphone ones

New app idea.

I constantly walk and text so hate having to look up to see if anything is coming. Is there an app out there that makes the sms screen transparent with the camera screen as the wallpaper? Or display a small camera image just above everything? Not sure if this is the right section for this so re-direct me if thats the case.Thankyou for your time and i look forward to any replies.
Probably possible, but who would take the time to implement it?
Idea of the year that
Already exists for the iphone, surprised it doesn't for android yet!
Actually it exists in the samsung own android store, check out the galaxy s section i think you can find the apk somewhere.

Same, might be because we're 1.6 and not 2.1.

Camera App Suggestion :)

Sup forum, I dont know if theres already an app for this, but if there is I havent seen it.
Arite so you know how you can only send low quality videos less than 30 seconds via txt message (MMS)
We know moments in life happen so quick and theres been many times ive videoed somthin once in a lifetime but my camera is always on 720p high quality.
We need some kind of shortcut you can put on the homescreen that opens up the camera with different settings.
One for text messages and one for HD home movies say. Easy one click and film right.
Cause by the time you open up the camera change the settings, lets say cause you know you wanna send this video, and not post on youtube or somthin, the moment would be gone.
I dont know if Im the only one that would like something like this, but what you guys think??

I know LauncherPro has programmable shortcuts so you can launch specific apps with specific settings.. I have never looked into creating one though so you are on your own there, but it may be a good place to start looking.
Oh yeah?? Ill check it, thanks
Edit: yea launcher pro has settings, but not for the camcorder.

The most awesomest pic viewer evAHR! !

Guys just want to share: today " gallery" decided to take a crap. Its on some kind of bootloop I guessed you'd call it. If you have this experience and can help cool, but that's not why I made this thread. I found the best friggin pic viewer and wanted to share! Its called " quickpic" dl from market and check it! Pics load super quick and slidshow is way smooth! Really happy with it. Give it a try and tell gallery to f- off!
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Yea its ok been out for awhile, I know alot of people were using it on fauxs. Rom cuz the gallery was messed up, or u couldn't see internal SD so this app lets u see every pic
settle down please. your excitement over a picture viewing app scares me.

its a realy nice app, i loaded about 10,000 images on my sd the stock gallery would die trying to load it, while this app loaded up fine and smooth
Does it run a service in the background constantly, and does it draw on the cpu much? Ads?
edit: I decided to find out for myself... no service in the background, no noticeable cpu draw, and no ads...very fast sorting of all photos, smooth interface. Shortcuts to camera, and share-to's work well. Allows hidden folders...very nice find...thanks.
Awesome app. I'm gonna use it.

Noob question about setting wallpapers

So every time I try to set a wallpaper it seems to zoom in a bit and become distorted. I've tried different resolutions and nothing seems to work.
I'm coming from an iPhone so I haven't used Android in a while and wasn't sure how to get it too work. I'm using GoLauncher as well.
Is there a specific resolution I need to use or maybe a setting??
Thanks!

Thanks!! I downloaded that and after playing with it a few minutes I got it to work. It's gonna be a little bit of a learning curve coming from my fruit phone
OK so I got wizardrii to set the wallpaper. But after a few hours it defaulted back to the zoomed in wallpaper.
I using Go Launcher, could that be causing it??
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
OK, I'm pretty sure that Go Launcher was causing the issue. From what I read it hasn't been fully update for ICS. I switched to Nova Launcher and am not having any issues with my wallpaper while using Wallpaper Wizardrii.

wallpaper ?

can somebody explain this wallpaper deal on the 1X, i find a cool one that according to specs has the correct size. save it to the phone --then i either add it as wallpaper via the Gallery or Personalize and it shows me the wallpaper, with a green square on it that i can slightly enlarge but still it only uses about a third of the entire image, on top of that.. quite a few look like crap (to put it blunt), very pixelated.. what am i missing here.
(related, yesterday i found how to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen but can;t find the setting anymore...)
Use quickpic from the market.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
uhm... not quite the explanation i was hoping for ;] will this app allow me to set larger wallpapers ? someone else say it may be a Sense "feature".
Gotta use an app like the one above to make full res wallpapers. I think dodol wallpaper from the marketplace also works.

The "green square" just shows where the home screen will be. Sense has scrolling wallpaper, so you will still see the area to the left and right of the green square as you scroll left and right n sense.

understood, but it also cuts of the top and bottom while i used the right resolution which then makes (if it has something on the image...) pixelated, someone said it may just be Sense who causes that. i find it odd, i download the exact size and have to cut pieces.

Do not ask a question without first making peace with yourself and knowing what you are looking for. If you want to fix that, use quickpic app from the market. Of not, good luck making your own gallery app

i guess i'm not understanding.. wasn't trying to come across in a wrong way. i downloaded/installed Quickpic and frankly not quite seeing how to use it. like i said i have a few which are suppose to be One X size wallpapers, do i resize them in Quickpic ?
thanks.

You do realise you can expand the green box and stretch it to the top and bottom of the image?

yes, i can resize but only so far, and the green box resizes proportional.
Guys, don't be so quick to jump on the op. Its pretty clear what he's trying to say. I know because I experienced it. I'm gonna take a guess and say ur using stock ROM? I had the same problem when I was in stock ROM, he green square only stretches so far, it does not encompass the entire image, therefore the image it sets as your wallpaper becomes stretched and therefore pixelated. I also tried to find ways around this op but I couldn't find any, well that is until I flashed another ROM. I can't quite remember I it worked when I ran cleanrom, but any aosp ROM will work like aokp and cm9/10. With these ROMs the green square stretches out to encompass the full image therefore giving you the right resolution for ur home screen. Other than that I know of no way around the problem. Flash an aosp ROM op, you will thank me for it later

The green box isn't supposed to stretch across the whole image. The green box represent one Sense tab, ie the homescreen. The area ot the left and right of the green box is still part of the wallpaper, when you scroll left and right through the Sense tabs.
I don't see the problem here?

Go to the picture u want to set as wallpaper click on options then go to set as and clicl on quickpoc wallpaper. What is there not to understand? I do not see any difficulties here
Well, just like Sense it shows a square which limits the use of the entire image, is that hard to.comprehend ?

Download picspeed wallpaper and try that out. It gives you different crop options, including non scrolling wallpaper.

i was using the clock lock-screen, to be able to use a different wallpaper on the lock-screen you must choose "wallpaper" instead of the clock lock screen.. can't have both i guess (#unrooted)
Myself I find pics in range of 1280x1440, that gives nice clear picture viewable over several scrolling screens.
Of course, Ymmv.
