I select the correct resolution (960x800) and try to set it as wallpaper or save the image and then set it as wallpaper that way but everytime the cropping tool pops up. How do I do it without the cropping tool?
You'll always get the cropping tool - just drag it to the full size and set it. Easy

The biggest it will go only gets like a fourth of the picture. I'm on the correct resolution too so I don't know what's going on.
I assume you know you can drag the window to make it larger/smaller?

When cropping tool pops up dont do anything but center it. Then it will work.

Yeah it doesn't go much bigger though. I'm really confused. If I'm selecting the right resolution on that site it should fit the whole thing shouldn't it?
It should so double-check the resolution of the picture you've downloaded

I'm only getting a small portion of the picture then. Can someone try that site and see if maybe the resolution on the site is wrong. I'm trying the first picture, the big tree.

You might want to resize then. The Sensation is 960x540 , not 960x800.
That's just for a single home screen - wallpaper is wider to accommodate the movement of Sense across the screens

Ahh ok thanks.
How do I make it so the wallpaper slides with the homescreens?

What issue up with the wallpaper in cm6. If I load a wallpaper from an app it is perfect. But in gallery3d and 2d it just gives a tiny little box to assign. Then you have a zoomed on section of the wallpaper. Which looks like crap. Yes the pictures are the right size and I have used many of them thru multiple roms with no issues.

Haha okay this is just funny ... you drag the corners of the box to expand it. Its a cropping tool. You can expand it to full size, just press, hold, and drag.

oh I didn't know he was talking about that ....
I was referring to a one screen wallpaper. If I have the background set to not scroll in LP and I try adding a wallpaper that is 320x480 (which should be the size for a single screen) it is all stretched and weird looking. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this .... Ill have to test it out some more.
Omg lol
I tried moving it with the pinch zoom. I didn't realize you had to tap it to start the moveing of it. Rhbx alot.

I can only choose, at most, half of the wallpaper. Once you have dragged to the sides, thats it. You cannot sellected the entire photo for the background

The selection is based on the dimensions of the picture provided. It will keep the scale of the background because it doesn't contort the image to fit all dimensions. Using portrait photographs and such isn't very good for backgrounds for this reason.

Same prob w/ my N1 and CM. I'm not using a portrait photograph, using a vertical one that when I view the pic on my screen, it fills the screen perfectly in the correct resolution, but when I try and set it as a wallpaper, the cropping tool is a square, instead of a vertical rectangle as it should be, so I can only get part of the picture in the cropping square, and then it blows that up and distorts it...
Some pictures cant be allotted to the correct size it makes you crop, however.
Pictures taken from the phones camera won't crop and display correctly for me at times. I generally just download stuff thats already at the right resolution though

I ended up buying Wallpaper Plus (since I usually make my own wallpapers) off the market and got my desired results. Seems to be the only way to get that to happen... Weird problem, wouldn't think it would exist...
You can also use a live wallpaper called multpicture to select either one picture or a folder to show fullscreen. Mp is free on the market

Can anyone tell me how i can set a background image on the gtab without the image always needing to be cropped. It seems that every image that i try to set as the wallpaper ends up being zoomed in or needs to be cropped.
Now i understand this to be same on all android devices as it is on my EVO4g.
I guess i am trying to find a way to post a wallpaper that is already formated for the gtab screen to utilize the full image in the entire screen as opposed to having to crop the image and end up with a zoomed in wallpaper..
God I hope this made sense lol
THANKS FOR ANY INPUT!
Look for Multi Picture Live Wallpaper on the Market.
thanks a bunch!

Just got the TF, love it to bits.
Sounds a bit daft but how do you make a wallpaper fit??? I've download a few that look really when seen on other TF's but when I select it on mine you get that box to adjust then the image seems blown up and looks rubbish given its resolution!
Not sure if it matters but running 3.2 stock, dont have root. Have tried wallpapers from here and 4walled and tried different size images.
Sorry if this has been answered a million times! i tried looking but searching the term 'wallpaper' on here = nightmare!
cheers

wallpaper wizardrii is the only app that will help you. Its free on the market and its free. Simply choose the wallpaper and select the option scrollable for best results.
Note:
This still crops images slightly, but is far. far better than setting wallpaper via gallery.
Give me thanks if this helped you out. I use it all the time
I've used it, very nice app, but still the quality is not that good.
can u give me some wallpaper to test it?
think i've got it sorted. using multi live wallpaper and it works spot on.
just cant get it to display a different pic per screen as it probably should

Just go into Multi setting, add individual setting (depend how many screen you have) on each setting you go in and choose folder picture (you should create a folder for each screen) and choose the path.
hope that helps

Not true. I have all jpg's and they display perfectly.
Is there a fix for the cropping of wallpapers?
On CM7, I use the Crop Wallpaper app. Works well.
i've not this problem
Yes transfer the image on your computer and use a image editing tool like GIMP and resize the image to 540 x 960 and save the image. Then transfer the edited image back to your Sensation and it should fit perfectly.
No I mean I don't want to crop, that is the point, the wallpapers are the correct size but when you try to set them you get a square box.
I think it is a problem with 3.5 ROMs and above.

Hi,
I installed a market app called wallpaper wizardrii.
This seems to get around this problem.

Sweet I been wondering how to fix this myself
I would like to use as a wallpaper this icon :

Is there some software to do that ?

Can you not just save the file and convert to jpg if required?
Exactly. Just download the pic and put it into your phone. Choose the file in your wallpapers settings and you are done. An icon is just a smaller version of a picture, it's not any different from a normal wallpaper file.
But I'm afraid that there will be a lot of pixel
up
not sure what the problem is. Download the image. Its already in png format(which is good since it supports transparency, and is optimal for icons)
Then use a launcher like apex or nova to change the icon of your desired app to the one you downloaded. Also its 96x96 pixels so nothing needs to be resized.

I want to use the picture as a wallpaper. But I can't find the wallpaper that's why I would like to know if I can take the icon and transform it in wallpaper with no pixels.
well...

It is physically impossible to stretch this small image without it ending up being distorted by the small number of original pixels in the picture. I am sorry, but you are going to have to use an image like this:
(Argh, still no outside links, so the link looks like this

Hope you like this one just as much!

You can't open the link because I put some "spaces" in there so I could post it here. xda does not allow new members to post outside links, only if they have over 10 posts on the forums. so just copy the link and look for the 2 or 3 spaces I put in there, delete them and look at the picture, because I think I found something really close to what you are looking for!
And there is no software that manages to do that. There is a feature on Photoshop or similar software that I know of that is able to reduce pixelation although it is not as good as you might think and it definitely can't make a small picture like this into a usable wallpaper...
Yes I forgot a space ! It's closed but not the same. Thank you for your help
