Portrait wallpapers

Hi, does anyone know how to set your wallpaper so that it doesn't always turn to a landscape view, but a portrait one? I don't want to have the wallpaper pan each time I scroll to a different page. I just want image to remain static while I switch pages.
I tried Dodol's wallpaper maker but it's always force closing.. Please help!
Thanks.

Picspeed hd wallpaper app

Have you tried Wallpaper Wizardrii from Play store? Works well for me. I prefer no scroll as well. Option in settings of Wizardrii for no scroll.

Would rotating the picture before you apply it as your wallpaper work..? I think it would give you what your look for...

800 x 1280 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.....

Post your Home Screens

Ok I do not yet have mine yet, but after reading the Prime thread and the TF300 one we should do the same, plus it would be a great to see what you have all done

This will be a nice thread. Will post my screen later. Have a hard time deciding how to arrange my home screen. Using Apex launcher. Crashes quite often so that will be prio one to decide launcher to use.

Three of the four I'm using. The other one is with some cloud apps and my calendar agenda widget (Wizz)

Apps! Apps everywhere! lol. I need some big widgets to throw on my home screens...

My 2 cents, smudged because of some sensitive text/data...
Ordered like on the tablet, 3rd one is home screen. Apex launcher, apps, some standard widgets + minimalistic text for titles.

It's the biggest weather widget (manually resized to be a bit smaller actually) from HD Widgets + Dual Battery Widget.
I think that transparent agenda widget from Wizz is pretty cool too.
And battery state on the bottom is from GSam battery widget.

My screens,
the middle/main one.
and the right one
and a screenshot were you can admire my wallpaper.
I actually think that choosing the wallpaper in ICS is totally rubbish.
Why doesn't it downscale the picture if it's too big?
Or why the hell doesn't it fit? It's just 1920x1080.
Wouldn't that be the perfect size for the Infinity?
The wallpaper would actually look like this

+1 on being annoyed by having to crop the wallpaper picture

It works a bit better with Nova Launcher, but then you have to live with a cut wallpaper in portrait mode...

Wallpaper wizardrii is what you need to scale the wallpaper to whatever you want.

I've been to mycolorscreen, which features mostly portrait and probably phone themes. Is there any site that's more tablet oriented (with apologies, my googlefu is weak today)? I kind of want to do an anchored list on the left of each screen, and I think I recall the best of those usually add some elements to the wallpaper itself to highlight the selected anchor, so you use maybe minimal text for the icon to the anchors, but then set them inside shaded portions you've crafted into your wallpaper. I kind of think I know what I want to do, but I'd love to have some good examples to build from.

This works well and fine, but still not a solution to portrait mode wallpaper cut-off.
I use Apex launcher and just because of this wallpaper problem never use homescreens in portrait.
If anyone knows of solution....please let us know.
Thx

Here's mine.

Edit: my screen shot.

only if you switch it on in the system settings first

I use Nova prime and if you go into Nova settings, desktop, height margin and select none or small it resizes portrait screen.

Still very much a work in progress but it's starting to get showable.

Wallpapers get zoomed in, why?

I have been using zedge to get my wallpapers for some time, every now and then I find a really nice wallpaper and when I install it it gets zoomed in as if it's the resolution is to big and the wallpaper gets cut off. Is there any way to make the wallpaper fit entirely on the screen? I have tried to resize the wallpaper with no luck, I am also using nova launcher even though that probably doesn't make a difference.

Supposedly, Wallpapyrus will keep the resolution of your images intact.

Install the app called 'Wallpaper Setter' to solve the issue.

I tried both, and they do keep the resolution intact without croping for the home screen wallpaper but not the lock screen.

This (Wallpapyrus) worked for me on my freshly-upgraded ICS Galaxy S2 LTE. Thanks, chaps!

Don't scroll wallpaper

Hi
I'm using Muzei and for some reason it's scaling the images to be spread across the multiple home screens.
Is there anyway in CM11S to have it fixed? That way the image will be nicely centred on my screen.
Thanks
Paul

Use Nova Launcher. The option is in the settings under the desktop settings.

OK I know Nova does, but I'm after it for Trebuchet in CM11S

Hi,
Is this non scroll wallpaper solve? I'm looking for this function as well rather than using others launcher.
Thanks
