Just installed a new ROM on my Infuse, except I'm having an issue with the wallpapers for the home/unlock screen. The ROM I like the best is missing the stock wallpapers that come with other ROMs, but I downloaded them off the internet, I believe they are full res. On other ROMs that incluse the stock wallpapers, I can go to the gallery view and browse through them. I put the downloaded stock wallpapers in a folder called Wallpapers on my Infuse's main storage, but when I went into the phone to set the wallpaper, they didn't show up in the nice gallery view, they appeared in a 'browsed' format. Then the phone wants me to resize them for the screen. Then, when they are set, they don't look so great (low res). Is there anyway I can restore the traditional gallery to get the wallpaper set right?
And one other thing. Is there currently any ROM where you will immediately get audio from the first call without having to toggle the speaker? Thanks.

Where would I save wallpapers to?
I know many of you will say to just stick it in some folder on SDCARD, but I want to press: Menu > Wallpaper > Wallpapers
and have MY wallpapers there.
I like to design my own wallpapers, and would rather have them there, easily accessible, and not have to hunt them down in the Gallery or SDCARD.

You'd have to edit the launcher and replace the default images.
Addendum: All the images would also have to carry the same filenames as the images that are already there. So, in retrospect, you'd have to create the wallpapers and thumbnails for the wallpapers, and then rename them to replace the images in the Launcher2.apk.
Damnit.
I was hoping got a simpler solution
Thanks Mi|enko
Install Wallpaper plus....
I'd like an app free solution.
Surely there must be one.
Too bad there isn't an app solution yet but its not that hard really just editing images and so on and animations seem to be easy as well since its basically ripping and signing from build to build lol.
So, I'm not very happy with the wallpaper options in this phone. I understand that, it's more of HTC Sense setting, but it doesn't let me choose home or lock screen. Plus, when I choose a picture from my gallery to use as a wallpaper, the weird crop square shows up and doesn't let me use the whole picture. What's up with that? Am I missing something? What do other people think?
The wall paper is ok but, I went to the market and downloaded city at night wallpaper and its a lot better for my tastes.

You should use 960x800 sized wallpapers. You can't select the whole picture because your iPhone wallpapers or whatever are the wrong aspect. There are some good downloadable wallpapers in the HTC Hub and there are a million wallpaper apps in the market.
Your wallpaper is scrolling as you swipe left and right to different screens, that's why it's square. I just use 1920X1080 wallpapers and they look fine.
The new wallpaper cropping in Gallery that comes with the 3.1 update is damn near infuriating. When trying to set a full image as a wallpaper, the double rectangle that they force on you leaves alot of the image inaccessable.
I've already tried Gallery 3D from the market, but setting wallpapers from it doesn't seem to take.
Anyone have another option they know to work?
EDIT: i remedied my problem by installing Slideshow Wallpaper app. A freshly updated app that i was not aware of when i initially searched for an app like this. If anyone is looking for a great, simple, app that will change your wallpaper at a set interval, then look into this app.
i use "Custom Wallpaper Slideshow" app. It is a good app except for one dilemma, and that is the scrollable wallpaper option DOES work, but if the image size isn't an exact specific size, only the bottom half appears at the top half of your screen. It remains scrollable, you just don't see the whole image. i fixed this by, as i mentioned, resizing all my images.
A weird problem occured after deleting a bunch of apps. None in which should have anything to do with wallpapers, home screen, or sense in general except "Most Recent Apps" widget. Even still, i don't see how this would effect my wallpapers not scrolling anymore.
i also reverted back to not using CWS and just regular images that i know are scrollable. (i use ViperS Rom and its default wallpaper that comes shipped is scrollable). However, none of these were scrollable anymore. i found it weird that these were not scrollable, but CWS (though not working correctly) still are.
i tried different sizes but either have not found the right NEW size, or it just isn't possible to remedy the CWS bug.
i have tried restarting. Trying different settings. Apex is set to scrollable. i still can't figure out what happened.
Does anyone have an idea, or perhaps could recommend an app other than CWS that does the same thing (changes wallpaper at set intervals) unlike the default HTC one that can only be changed every time the screen is turned on or whatever.
So I've not had a Samsung device since the S5, is it normal that I can't have a live wallpaper from an app (Let's say liveloop) on the lockscreen and a static wallpaper as the homescreen, as far as I've tried when I set a live wallpaper and then set a static one for the home screen the lock screen wallpaper changes to the default one
Any way to get past this?
Well, they are not called live wallpapers anymore. Just called video wallpapers. I use one of the ones that come with the phone and have a static picture on my home screen. Works just fine. I have tried other video wallpapers, but could not find one I liked any better then the one it came with. You can use the theming to get wallpapers, but it will usually change a lot of other things you may not want changed. I did use theming to be able to grab a wallpaper I wanted. Revert to default and then change to the wallpaper I wanted. Good luck.

My only problem is I don't want to use a video wallpaper, if I want to use a live wallpaper from an app like Walloop I can't have it just on my lockscreen, it has to be both
Not familiar with that app, but I am an old fart that really does not do too much messing with my setup any more. Sorry. Good luck.
Yes the phone supports Live wallpapers on the lockscreen. In wallpapers and style click on my wallpapers then on the 3 dots.
How to
Install the live wallpaper app, then go to my wallpapers the three dot menu and select live wallpapers and will open where you can select the wallpapers you have installed, you can apply as lock screen and homescreen or homescreen only.
