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.....

Using CM7 on EVO, setting a wallpaper via the stock wallpaper manager always produces a blurry, stretched wallpaper.
I have used wallpaper set and save in the past, but I find it clunky and I have to set up the wallpaper folder after each reboot. On top of that, it only sets wallpapers at 640x480 (I think)
Are there any apps out there that will allow me to set a wallpaper to 800x480? I can't find any since searching the marketplace for an app is always a nightmare. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I am trying to fit a 1280x960 sized wallpaper on my ADW Launcher screens. no matter what I do, it gets only first half (top) of the image to the screen.
What is wrong with my settings ? How can I set correctly ?

This is a well known issue with ADW. People are getting around it by using a free app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. It will not hack up your wallpapers (plus it has some other cool features)....

I managed to get over it by resizing the image to 1280x1280 (adding blackspace to bottom)

I'm curious to find out how you all apply your wallpaper.
while the 1920x1408 wallpaper seems perfect, when applying it through gallery, a good portion of the wallpaper is cut off, and i find the quality isn't great/ideal.
I suppose i could just long-press in the browser on a wallpaper i want, and choose "set as wallpaper", but there are other options too.
So how do you all apply your wallpaper? What works best?
[Note: There was no need for the fourth option in the poll-- sorry. This was my first time seeing/creating a poll.]
Multipicture live wallpaper is another good one to get full picture, or 7.

I use QuickPic as an habit because the gallery in the Galaxy tab dosen't like anything that isn't the exact resolution of the display. Plus it's a great gallery app anyway.
Hello. Why is it that everytime i change my wallpaper with an image sized 480x800 i got a cropped wallpaper even though i selected all the image (the box cropping thing)? What is the right screen resolution for a home screen (full screen) Thanks!
wallpaper are manager by launcher and gallery, with xxkpq stock and zeam launcher you can set wallpaper vertical, anyway remember there are also a notification bar

yes i know sir, but somehow. it isn't fixed as i want it to be. its cropped.
i'm trying to set a single screen wallpaper on my XE, the size of the pic at the moment is 540x960. but when i try to set the wallpaper it only allows me to get half of the pic, what size should the wallpaper be so when i select it i can choose the whole pic and not half. any good wallpaper apps would also be appreciated. thanks...........................sudeki300
It should be about 1080x960 to get the full wallpaper in there.
You can use the GIMP and it's Resize Canvas tool to make white space on the sides of the image to convert the image to 1080x960. If you post the wallpaper or link it, I can do it for you.
Image 2 Wallpaper is on the market and can do it for you, as well.
here is the pic i'm trying to use, is that the correct size for setting the wallpaper using the screen size thingy that is used before setting a wallpaper in sense, sorry i don't know the correct name for the app. thanks buddy...................sudeki300
Try this one.
that was super fast give me a sec and i'll try it.................sudeki300
works ok in sense launcher (little blurred on the text) but when i try to set the pic in nova or apex launcher i get half the screen with the image and the other half in black. how can i fix this?..............sudeki300
edit: it's ok i sorted it, forgot to turn off wallpaper scrolling (duh). thanks so much for your quick help, that's why i love XDA forum........................sudeki300
Set Nova and Apex Launcher to not scroll the wallpaper and make sure its cropped right down the center (that resizable rectangle screen) and it should work fine. This wallpaper will not work in landscape mode (apex or nova's auto-rotate feature) cause it'll leave black bars along the side.
Text shouldn't look blurry because I shrunk it from its original size, if anything, it should look crisper. I'm away from my PC right now but I can assist you further later.
