Was having lots of trouble getting my wallpaper sized and cropped just right. Tried Wallpaper Wizardrii and now happy as a proverbial clam. Recommended.
I also use this on my tablet.... Android should come with this.
Is this app can allow scrolling wallpapers with Sesne 3.0???
no scrolling wallpapers are not supported with sense 3.0 bcuz of the carrousel

i hate to be picky. but it seems that all of the live wallpapers out there have one color or even more even have all or mostly black backgrounds that are just too dark to fully appreciate my widgets and icons (beautiful widgets and weather widgets have translucent frames). so what ends up happening is i keep going back to the "nexus" live wallpaper. i love all of wallpapers being developed but i would love to see some more texture and color.
I had that same problem. The only widget I use is the Beautiful Home Widget. What I ended up doing was the Starfield live wallpaper with the "naked" Beautiful Widget skin which actually looks really good.
i use beautiful widgets with naked skin with earth live wallpaper and chose one background of the three it gives. Its excellent.

Yea, i do love the rotating earth live wallpaper but its the exception to the rule.
There is one app called Live Waterpaper....u can make ANY picture from gallery as a Live Wallpaper(somewhat, with ripples).U should try that.
I'm using that one. It's nice and subtle, my favorite so far.
Hello, is it possible to turn of wallpaper shifting? I mean I want to have a single wallpaper on all screens that is not shifted between them, like in Android 2.3 on my Galaxy TAB, I can choose wallpaper format, wide or thin, portrait, that stays the same on all screens and only the desktops move...
Honeycomb has 5 screens, and wallpaper moves slightly through screens left or right. How can I use a wallpaper in the background that stays frozen and only desktops move?
Multipicture Live Wallpaper has a wallpaper for each screen, I want only one wallpaper, with moving desktops.
I have an Acer A500
Im not a fan of shifting wallpaper either. This app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper seemed to fix that for me.
Hi guys
I'm a total 'droid n00b so please be gentle with me.
I know I have seen Android devices which kinda "spread" an oversized wallpaper across all the home screens so that scrolling through the home screens also scrolls across the wallpaper. I just tried to set an oversized wallpaper and it made me crop it to the screen res
Is this a feature which is only available on some phones, or is there a tweak you have to load first... or am I totally blowing it out of my arse and the whole thing is a figment of my imagination?

get rid of Sense by replacing it with ADW Launcher. It will allow you to crop a wallpaper correctly for your home screen and it runs WAY faster with a ton more features. I would also recommend getting the paid version of the app. You can get it from Market.
also.. after you get ADW and are running it... go into Accounts & Sync in your settings and disable all of the Sense stuff.
edit: thought i should also add this recommendation. if you like the sense widgets and hate to part with them. or the weather clock...etc. you can get an app from market called Beautiful Widgets. it runs way faster than sense and does the same stuff... again with more options.
Errr.... that's all very nice but how does it relate to my question?
It is sense that is causing the wallpaper to display as it is, change sense back to the android stock option by removing sense will then enable the wallpaper you wanted.

In response to your original question, most Android devices and versions do spread the wallpaper across all the home screens, including older versions of Sense. Sense 3.0 however uses vertical wallpapers that do not scroll, it is a new feature in this version. I imagine they did it because of the 3D rotation of the home screens and it would make stretched wallpapers look weird when swiping, but who knows.
It would be pretty complex to have each screen with its own section of the wallpaper seperate, spin, slow and expand, and finally rest at the ending homescreen.

Very nice free app u can set your wallpaper in many different ways and say good buy to the annoying honeycomb wallpaper crop .
Wallpaper alignment is an issue with the stock launcher, not wallpaper apps, which doesn't auto crop third party wallpapers. I am using LauncherPro and the problem is solved! Not to mention all the other cool features of LauncherPro. I only need two home screens. I can do that with this app. Also can select how many rows/columns of icons I want. Also can resize widgets.
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.....
