So I'm using ADWLauncher EX and at first I didn't use wallpaper scrolling. Now when I switch it back on, I can't make a wallpaper in the gallery which can be used as a scrolling wallpaper.
It doesn't work in the default launcher either. The gallery only allows me to make a portrait wallpaper, not the landscape wallpaper necessary for scrolling.
I've cleared the data for the gallery, but I still can't select a landscape wallpaper.

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.....
Updated Skyrocket to SKYICS 4.2E-8 (ULCE2), using Apex launcher, tried normal gallery, quickpic, zmods folder gallery2 apk, nothing has solved the problem so far.
When selecting an image to set as Home screen wallpaper I can no longer resize the selection to fit 960*800 pics to use for wallpaper scrolling. The wallpaper itself will scroll once selected but is zoomed in to portrait.
Resize worked fine on SKYICS base 2 update 7 but no longer.
Posting here because postcount Q.Q
EDIT: Also, using the included SecWallpaperChooser and Apex Launcher wallpaper chooser do not fix the issue.
Try what I did. This worked for me just follow the instructions. I know it works for UCLE2 not sure about sky ics. If it works on sky ics let me know...

Resolved a few days ago; installed QuickPic from market, on home screen hit soft menu, wallpaper, select QuickPic wallpaper gallery (which uses its own, white-framed resizing frame to select widescreen wallpapers, rather than the native gallery size selector - if you're having this problem, you understand what I'm talking about) and confirm size.
If anyone is having the same issue this worked for me and restored scrolling widescreen wallpaper functionality.
I use the Zedge app and select a wallpaper from it, works good
Reasons for using v2.58 of Go Launcher Ex:
1) Many Go Launcher Ex fans are unhappy with the new v3.0.0 look of Go Launcher Ex.
2) Also v3.0.0. and later are laggy, even without live wallpaper, with LWP its even more laggy, as they say in the market comments.
3) Also Newer Go Launcher versions don't use ICS transitions of your ROM.
4) TRUE Wallpaper modes: Scrolling and Vertical mode, TRUE because they change the cropper in Gallery into Landscape Cropper or Portrait Cropper accordingly. [/SIZE]So No need of Wallpaper Wizardii.
So here you have Go Launcher Ex v2.58 in the attachments
Uses ICS transitions (if you have them on your ROM)
This is really bugging now. I have elegancia rom ICS 4.0.3 with sense 4.0.
I cannot set a wallpaper without it scrolling when I change from one home screen to the next. I've tried cropping the photo to the dimensions of the screen, and setting with both ES explorer and gallery but it will not set the background without doing the stupid crop thing and making it can scroll.
How can I turn off this annoying feature ?
Edit:
I tried sing an app called Wallpaper Wizardrii to turn off the scrolling. Actually it's done something to the wallpaper, the scrolling hasn't stopped, and I can't put it back by setting scroll on on the app or setting a wallpaper through gallery or ES:

There doesn't seem to be a setting to enable/disable wallpaper scroll in Sense that I can see, if it's really bugging you maybe it's time to experiment with a different launcher? I'm using GO Launcher EX and that has the option to disable wallpaper scrolling.
Having said that, I switched back to Sense and tried setting a wallpaper and it didn't try and crop it, just set it full screen...?
Other than only using 1 screen with the default launcher or another launcher like Nova, is there any way to turn off wallpaper scrolling? Or is there an option I'm not seeing that lets me crop a wallpaper for portrait only?
With Nova, there is an option to disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings under desktop. Not sure about the stock launcher, Nova was the first thing I installed.
