Setting iPhone Size Wallpapers

Ok so I'm a bit obsessed with wallapapers, and I've found a lot that I like but many are for the iPhone. When I go to set them as my wallpaper I can only set them as a widescreen even if the wallpaper scrolling is off. Does anyone know how to change this, while still allowing me to go back and forth from the setting?

...no one ever answers me

I would like to know as well. It's kinda annoying that it forces you to crop a section out.

You could try to resize the pic on ur pc then reinstall on the device?

No matter what size the photo is you always have to crop it with the widescreen size (or whatever you want to call it). I was looking online and it says you need to change the API but that sounds way to complicated for me and it also sounds like its difficult to change back.
Ps- thanks for posting, I was feeling a bit lonely haha

hopefully this will solve everyones problems:
Download Dodol Wallpaper Maker from the Market and it should size up any image to your screen. All my wallpapers are iphone ones

Honeycomb wallpaper app?

I use wallpaper Casa, and sometimes HD wallpapers to set wallpapers on my cappy,but those walls seem really washed out and grainy on the transformer. Ne1 know of any honeycomb compatible wall paper app yet?

I noticed that the stock wallpaper is VERY CRISP...and most of my efforts and finding wallpaper that looks as good has been unsuccessful.

Also guys other than the extra walls pack posted earlier,I never found anything else related to tf walls

You should use the suggested above or 2560 x 1600. It works well. try picturecasa app, it's not that bad but the website version has more links.

I've been using 2560 images and none are as crisp as the stock "tree" wallpaper...

AFAIK, Honeycomb uses 1920x1280 images. The extra width is so it has enough room to shift the image when you change screens, and the height so that there's room to zoom the image out when you open the app folder, or widget srceen or whatever.

even when i use the suggested wallpaper dimensions none of the wallpapers ever look as good on the homescreen as they do on the browser... which makes no sense.

get the "wallpaper wizzardi" app. Its a bit buggy but it will take ANY image size, res, etc and make it look amazing on the TF.
Sometimes it gets black bars on the screen but all you do is switch it to landscape/horizontal and it will go back. Its really nice. Still buggy but nice.

i use wallpaper set and save with very large images that i find at wallbase.cc (at least 2560 x 1600) and i've got pretty crisp background images.

I use Flikie Wallpaper app, it auto sizes them for me and you get to pick from a bunch online, its worth it, great app

Guys check out this new app. Tablet wallpapers. Seems 2 b specifically for honeycomb.

I'm trying to find the perfect dimensions to use so that Honeycomb's crop box will fill the entire picture, and none of the suggested sizes have worked. Interesting...

use multipicture live wallpaper, available on the market, sets your wallpaper perfectly every time, no cropping needed

High Quality Kindle Fire backgrounds?

Has anyone discovered worthy backgrounds (like the defaults in ICS), or if a wallpaper rotator is compatible with ICS?
Thank you for your attention,

Yes. Thank you for the tutorial!

A little off topic but Ive been looking for an app that can set different wallpapers for portrail & landscape mode. But the only one I could find was Dual wallpaper which is a paid app on the market with bad feedback , anyone got anything else?

Any app out there that rotates live wallpapers?

You meant this?

I'm running ADWLauncher EX on my rooted stock. When I unlock it, it uses the background from the lock screen for that session. I think it's pretty cool, since I like the lock screen picks that come with the kindle.

How to Set Wallpaper without it turning low resolution

Ok, I'm sure that it's not only me having this issue, but
I'm trying to install the CleanROM 3.0 Wallpaper and any time that I do, it crops it and turns all pixelated. I've noticed this with any wallpaper I try to set that's not a system wallpaper.. is there any way to fix this??
I'm currently Running CleanROM DE 3.1
but i've noticed this on pretty much every ROM i've ran
here is the wallpaper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27624455&postcount=24

I've actually spent yesterday figuring out how to do this in a super roundabout way.
I put the wallpapers I want into CleanROM 3.0 SE ROM itself. I edited the ROM zip file with 7-zip, inserted the background I wanted in the correct location and performed a full data wipe. Then I flashed it to the phone.
And walla, it works... I now have the 2 wallpapers I want in full resolution.
I'm sure there is an app that can put a full resolution wallpaper in your phone for you. I just never looked... lol

We had a similar problem with the HP Touchpad and a guy made an app on the play store to remedy it (here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5raGFubmluZy50cHdwYXBwbGllciJd)
Unfortunately it only works with the Touchpad's resolution, though if someone made an app to support our resolution then it would work fine.

Just resize it when you select the wallpaper. Touch the opposing corners on the crop box and drag to make it bigger.

download crop wallpaper from market it is free and does overall setting of pic for wallpaper

I remember back when I first got my inspire and was using the sense launcher, i believe I used an app called wallpaper wizardii or something like that. Might be worth giving a shot.

I've been using Zedge to set my wallpaper. When I set it through the app, it doesn't seem to lose quality, but if I try setting it through Sense from the downloaded picture, it does lose some quality.

Look up "dodol wallpaper" in the playstore. I set some pretty damn high quality photos as my wallpaper. Always amazes people!

I use an app call wallpaper set and save. It will keep the resolution of the image you are setting as the wallpaper.
