How does one go about adding backgrounds on a tablet? Seems like whenever I try to do so it wants me to crop a square. My tab has a 1024×600 screen. Is there an app I can use to apply correctly?
thanks

you should be able to do it that way. crop a square.
Cropping a square isn't very useful on a widescreen tablet with my resolution. Hence the question.

I am making some custom wallpapers for my Incredible, and am running into a few problems.
I am using photoshop and saving my pictures as JPEGs. They are 960x800 px.
They pretty big files, usually 1.5meg.
When I put the pictures on my sdcard, and I go to change the wallpaper, I go to gallery, then find the picture I have put on, and when I select the picture, it acts like it goes to the resize portion of the process, but then it just goes back to the gallery.
I have also tried loading the wallpaper straight through ASTRO file manager, with no luck either.
I'm sure I am missing something terribly simple, but I can't find it online.
Any help would be great. Thanks
There is an attachment of one of the images.
The problem is that we are 480x800

i dont think thats the problem. i cant even view the photo in gallery right. is there a limit to the size of the jpg?
The image that uploaded to the website is only 92.3kb. Just downloaded it and set it as a wallpaper no problem
1.5mb for a 960x800 image is HUGE.
I just played around with it for a bit and I think I figured out what your doing. Is your image properties set to cmyk (32bit)? That would explain why your file size is so big. Change it to rgb (24 bit). I'm thinking the android platform doesn't play to nicely with cmyk files.
I'm going to upload my cmyk file and see if this website automatically converted it to rgb on upload, which is what im thinking happened to your upload here.
Edit: yep that's exactly it. The website converted it, the attachment that was uploaded was 1.2mb and I just downloaded it; 94.3kb.
Awesome thanks for your help. I will switch it to rgb when I get home and try it out and report back

i highly recommend using wallpaper set & save instead of the stock wallpaper chooser.
Does anyone have any reccomendations for an app for this:
Code:
every X minutes do
select 1 photo randomly from [ list, of, gallary, albums ]
auto crop
set as wall paper
Preferably where it is smart enough to crop the image as little as possible, many of my wall papers fall between 1024x768 to 1600x1200, so it's not so necessary on a TF lol.

Wallswitch is the app you need.

I tried that but couldnt figure out how to have just one wallpaper and not the one paper for each screen. Is thatpossible?
Yes. Select "single picture" as your source. However there would be no picture scrolling. but it does prevent your wallpapers from being cropped/pixelated.
would it also allow periodic paper switching when single picture as source is selected?
That doesn't make sense. If you only choose a single photo of course it won't change. There is however an option to pick a folder and you can pick how many minutes before it alternates.You can also choose to double tap the screen for iimmediate change.

Thats why i asked. I (and the op i believe) want an app that changes the wallpaper randomly. Not to have different wallpapers for each page. Multi live wallpaper isnt what he needs then. Wallpaper slideshow isnt perfect but it does the trick.
I'm not exactly sure if its compatible with TF, but J4velin wrote an app called Wallpaper Changer that might be what your looking for.
Let me know if it works...
Here the market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=de.j4velin.wallpaperChanger&hl=en

wallswitch in the market does everything you want.
you can point it to a folder full of wallpapers and it will switch between them based on a timescale you want.
as long as the wallpapers in the folder are the correct size it does the job perfectly.

i dont think its optimised for tablets to be honest, although their is a setting you can choose where it doesnt crop the image.
Searching market for wall switch and multi live wall paper, suggests that it's near'ish what I want but not quite. All my stuff has been moved from a shared folder to Picasa, and I have so many that I needed 2 albums...bloody 1000 pictures to an album crap!
On the upside, looks like one of them has source available, so maybe I can figure sth out.

I'm not able to get my Gallery pics to work as backgrounds. I can get launchers and live wallpapers to work but when I crop a picture, I press save and nothing happens. It stays as the Amazon crap.
Please note that I know how to change the permissions for a wallpaper to stay or change.
I have the same problem. As a workaround I use file expert to set new wallpapers.

File Expert did work - thank you. I noticed that the pictures are grainy and they also do not move along with the screen. Any way to fix those?
Not sure on the grainy. And unfortunately wallpaper scrolling doesn't work on the stock Rom.

It seems like 600x1024 images work fine but 1024x600, it zooms in on the picture or only a section of the picture will show up.

What is the actual "home/lock" screen(s) resolution on this S3? Cropping a small portion to show of a beautiful full picture is getting maddening.
Install home and lock screen wallpapers separately, don't choose the combined option. Cropping is only for the lock screen, you'll get full picture/resolution on home and lock screens doing them separately.

FWIW: I have never tried to set them both together. I do them separately, & still have the same issue.
The "images" I have are to large & constantly start with the crop tool in the center of the image & I can only move it around & make the crop area smaller & essentially zoom in on the image, not "engulf" the entire image.
Use quickpic from the playstore

Interesting. Been using live wallpapers/stock images so haven't played with any custom images yet. Stock ones did not crop on the home screen setting, but did when choosing to apply to both home and lock.

Hello guys,
I was just wondering if there was an alternative to multi picture live wallpaper? Since I got the JB update last night mplw isn't working for me.
I saw something in one of the recent JB threads that there's a single image live wallpaper but I can't find it.
Thanks.

Panoramic scrolling wallpaper?
Is there a way to have a panoramic picture (one i took preferably) to span the entire tab screens horizontal space.
Such that the left edge of the panorama is the left edge of left most home screen and right edge is right most home screen edge. So when you scroll home screens it scrolls along the panorama.
I have tried multiple apps, and the ones that allow me to select my pic, crop a small part of it for wallpaper, but i want the full picture.

An app to set that up would be amazing. Not sure if theres anything that does that now, but it is possible to do it manually with Multi Picture Live Wallpaper.
Take a panorama, split it into X parts where X is how many screens you have. Then set each part as the background for MPLWP
