Using CM7 on EVO, setting a wallpaper via the stock wallpaper manager always produces a blurry, stretched wallpaper.
I have used wallpaper set and save in the past, but I find it clunky and I have to set up the wallpaper folder after each reboot. On top of that, it only sets wallpapers at 640x480 (I think)
Are there any apps out there that will allow me to set a wallpaper to 800x480? I can't find any since searching the marketplace for an app is always a nightmare. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, with all the flexibility that Android OS is supposed to have, one restriction that is really aggravating me is the wallpaper size contstraint...
Is there any way to get rid of the wallpaper size restriction? My goal basically is to able to make a wallpaper as wide as the amount of screens I have so that when I go to a different screen it looks like a different wallpaper. To see what i mean, take a wallpaper and use 2 home screens only. When you switch between the two, it loads a half of the wallpaper, so if you made one picture with 2 480x800 pictures, it would look like two seperate wallpapers. What I would like to do is use 3 home screens, and a wallpaper created by using 3 480x800 pictures (1440x800), but whenever I try to set a wallpaper it forces me to crop it to a 960x800 area. Can anyone chime in on if this is at all possible?
Thanks!
I like the idea and would like to know aswell..
I think wallpaper wizardrii works.

OK. It had been a really long time since I used multi live wallpaper.
My goal was to be able to have, on my 3 screens, individual wallpapers that i compiled randomly, and use a wallpaper changer to always have a different wallpaper on each screen. Multilive does that now! Just set it for random, and eveyr hour, all 3 of my screens update with a different wallpaper. All I did was create 480x800 versions of all the wallpapers i was going to randomly combine into large wide wallpapers, throw them all into a folder, and tell multilive wallpaper to pick from there. It's pretty damn sweet. Also, if a wallpaper that I don't want to see at that time comes around double tapping the screen changes them all up again. It's great.

Worked like a camp! Running C.M. 7.1 RC1
I, for the life of me, can't figure out how to set it up. I went to wallpapercasa's website and downloaded five wallpapers. I then moved them into my Wallpapers folder within DCIM. I don't know how to get it to work so I can have a different wallpaper for each screen. I'm using ADW Ex as my launcher.
I have individual settings for each screen. I go into screen 1 and under the picture settings I can only choose from a folder and not an individual picture. If I choose that option the screen fades but I don't get a popular to search within the gallery. I had the option before but i decided to reboot and it seems it went away.
Anybody use this great unknown app?
Click adw ex settings
Then general behavior
then animation and effects
Make sure wallpaper scrolling is checked

I'm curious to find out how you all apply your wallpaper.
while the 1920x1408 wallpaper seems perfect, when applying it through gallery, a good portion of the wallpaper is cut off, and i find the quality isn't great/ideal.
I suppose i could just long-press in the browser on a wallpaper i want, and choose "set as wallpaper", but there are other options too.
So how do you all apply your wallpaper? What works best?
[Note: There was no need for the fourth option in the poll-- sorry. This was my first time seeing/creating a poll.]
Multipicture live wallpaper is another good one to get full picture, or 7.

I use QuickPic as an habit because the gallery in the Galaxy tab dosen't like anything that isn't the exact resolution of the display. Plus it's a great gallery app anyway.
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.....
I could finally create a fantastic wallpaper using Tapet with vignette effect... so I used the app to set it as background... and it looks as great... I saved to the Gallery to set as lock screen wallpaper and in the gallery it looks as great... I set it as lock screen wallpaper and the ugly circles of image compression appear on the wallpaper... it doesnt appear with I use Tapet to set the wallpaper... only appears when I use the system to set the wallpaper... does anyone know if this can be fixed?

Since when I got the S6 I noticed this problem !
First time you set the picture there is no problem and the image is fine. At this point the system saves a copy in your history of wallpapers, If you set your wallpaper using this history the quality will get very bad.
Instead you should try re-selecting and re-cropping the picture even if the picture is already there start all over...
