I have a bunch of wallpapers that are the exact size for TF, but when I go to select them, TF asks me to crop them. After setting a picture as wallpaper, the wallpaper picture looks zoomed-in. This even happens to the stock pictures that are in the TF gallery.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I have the same problem here ...
I tried different resolution but the result still the same.
Go download Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market,
then when you're in gallery click on the share icon on the top right and choose wallpaper wizardrii and tell it to set as scrollable. Your images should look perfect if the pictures are in fact large enough.
Here's mine

I'm currently trying to find a way we can get perfect wallpapers without the use of an app
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
I use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to make the images fit the screen. I usually download 1280x800 images and they look really nice.
Wallpaper slideshow is what iuse
I tried wallpaper wizardii and while it kept the size...without cropping...it would glitch while changing orientation...it would take a second or two to "settle" after a few weird little sizings...I couldn't deal with that and also no wallpaper ever looked as tack-sharp as the stock paper....even if it was large enough...

Did you reboot after you installed wizard??
Mine works fine, no glitches switching back and forth between portrait and landscape

Nope....Maybe I'll try that.
Nope....same thing...it kind of "readjusts" itself after orientation....not acceptable.
I DID notice one thing....it seems (and I could be wrong) that if you go to a pic on the web and choose "set as wallpaper" it doesn't crop anything....if you download the pic...then choose to use it as wallpaper..that's when you have to crop.
Which picture are you using??
I don't seem to be having that issue but yes you're right. Pictures from the web work right away but the gallery app wallpaper setter is what brings up the cropping.
I believe they're going to make changes to this in 3.1

Good! looking forward to it....
Well..I tried Multipicture live and it works great...the pictures come out sharp and not cropped...
BUT....
When reorienting screen....they "fade in" and don't stay.
It appears to be by design...is there some way to turn this off in the MP software?
Try 1920x1280. (Yes 1*2*80, that's not a typo. )

This is a set of wallpapers that I've prepared.
Whilst these wallpapers are based on images from sites such as InterfaceLIFT, I have modified them by resizing and recolouring them to fit nicely with the Touch Diamond2 (or any other 800x480 device).

Cool, great selection/editing
I especially like the two Nebulas.
They're great, thanks. I was litereally just on the hunt for a topic with wallpapers...
Well there are many more wallpapers floating around these forums but thanks for the feedback!
Cool
But why i can not download
Sorry, should be working now.
Nice collections.. thanks mate
This are very nice backgrounds!
Thank you from belgium
Jeppe
nice, thank you
You know, the biggest problem with backgrounds is that they make the text on-screen harder to read. So whilst they provide a little eye-candy, they actually make your phone harder to use and reduce its functionality.
Wait, that reminds me of TF3D.......
Very nice package, a big problem is that when we set picture for our bg from wallpaper in settings, picture will be bigger than normal size!
I don't know why!

Haha, well I agree that some parts of TF3D are nicer looking than they are functional. But I did endevour to provide some darker wallpapers that don't make the text on the TF3D home screen so hard to read.

That is strange, do you mean when you set it from the TF3D settings?

Yes, when you set the wallpaper from : Settings -> Wallpaper (TF3D), then your background is bigger than normal size!

And no problems guys.
The main problem is the big resolution. A lots of 240*320 walls are available over the net but 480*800 is not a popular one. If we could set 240*320 walls without being 'Tiled' then we didn't have look for a 480*800 walls. Why a small wallpaper doesn't get stretched?
I have jpeg/png image that I am trying to use as a wallpaper. I changed the resolution of the image to 920x800 and downloaded and saved to gallery on the phone.
When I go to change wallpaper and use that, it ALWAYS brings up the crop tool and doesn't let me pick the whole image. The crop tool messes up the resolution and that's not what I want. I want the whole image as I downloaded it to appear as the wallpaper.
Is it not possible to do
Needs to be 960x800
Doesn't need to be any resolution really. The stock ones are just generally 960x800. Use the crop tool to expand the window by pressing on the edge/border of it and drag out so that you can expand the window as much as possible over the image.

Is true that doesn't have to be 960x800 but it need to be a res that have the same proportions or you won't be able to use the whole image and instead will end cropping and scaling the image.
download wallpaper set and save from the market. its a cool app and it lets you use the entire image. also using a hi-resolution wallpaper or hd wallpaper helps to make it not pixelated and fuzzy looking. it doesn't have to a particular size either.

How do you guys put these on you phone as wallpaper? I can only take a small part of the picture as wallpaper image.
have to cut out a piece that's portrait meaning 75% won't be shown as wallpaper, because the images are in landscape.

There's an app called wallpaper wizardrii, free from market. You can set wallpapers any size you want. Try it.
It may not work as well with these, but for some pictures (mostly patterns, textures etc.) you can just rotate it and then set the whole thing.
But you can also try the app mentioned above.
Btw, cool wallpapers, thanks

GUys more sick and cool wallpapers are coming soon for all u that cant be bothered searching on Google
I have this wallpaper that I found somewhere:

}
I want it to be my wallpaper just like it looks, but when I set it the phone forces me to crop it and I wind up with this:
How can I get the full image as a background so that its not zoomed in or cropped?
I was wondering the same thing ... I seems that you can't unless you put your wallpaper in the same destination the default ones are located which will make it like a stock one ....
Waiting for more experienced opinion ...
Hey man. I know what you mean it can be annoying. The reason why it asks you to crop is because of your phone's resolution or whatever, it can only show so much. What you could try is "PicSPEED Wallpapers" from the market. Download it. Then when you set a wallpaper (from your gallery) a new option to custom crop the iage will appear and you can freely manipulate what is shown as the wallapaper

no that's not correct....
I have the stock GB wallpapers and stil have to crop them when set as wallpapers...
Most wallpapers apps are crap low quality stuff...Plus tons of crap adds...
It asks you to crop because it slides the image over a little while changing home screens (for a static wallpaper). I don't believe there is a setting in the stock launcher to change that. What you generally want is a square, 800px tall and 800px wide, with the image you want in the middle. Then you enlarge the crop to the entire image, and voila.
I use "wallpaper set and save"
On market sets wallpaper without quality lose
Edit nvrmind stretches image

I've created a new 3d Live wallpaper featuring The Hobbit theme. It's completely 3d and, imho, it's pretty cool. You can check it here:

Made it free... didn't get any downloads anyway
looks really good. The app is having the same issues as my live wallpapers. I don't get the scrolling effect. All that I can see is: See attachment. You can see that I have my screen scrolled all the way to the left but the wallpaper remains centered.
This is a common issue for me also on Jellybean. It seems samsung and others have opted out of scrolling wallpapers. So those people that download it will only get to see the first ( center ) screen.
My live wallpapers are plagued by this to at least yours looks decent when on Jellybean it gets centered. Some of mine are way off to the left or right.
I had to add this notice to some of mine to stop people from buying and canceling all day lol.
:good:

Thanks for the feedback (especially the one on google play )!
It's true that samsung disabled the wallpaper scrolling on their phones (why the frack would they choose to disable one of the best features of the android UI is beyond me) and that may confuse the user a lot.
