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

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.....
Updated Skyrocket to SKYICS 4.2E-8 (ULCE2), using Apex launcher, tried normal gallery, quickpic, zmods folder gallery2 apk, nothing has solved the problem so far.
When selecting an image to set as Home screen wallpaper I can no longer resize the selection to fit 960*800 pics to use for wallpaper scrolling. The wallpaper itself will scroll once selected but is zoomed in to portrait.
Resize worked fine on SKYICS base 2 update 7 but no longer.
Posting here because postcount Q.Q
EDIT: Also, using the included SecWallpaperChooser and Apex Launcher wallpaper chooser do not fix the issue.
Try what I did. This worked for me just follow the instructions. I know it works for UCLE2 not sure about sky ics. If it works on sky ics let me know...

Resolved a few days ago; installed QuickPic from market, on home screen hit soft menu, wallpaper, select QuickPic wallpaper gallery (which uses its own, white-framed resizing frame to select widescreen wallpapers, rather than the native gallery size selector - if you're having this problem, you understand what I'm talking about) and confirm size.
If anyone is having the same issue this worked for me and restored scrolling widescreen wallpaper functionality.
I use the Zedge app and select a wallpaper from it, works good
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.

all sorted now, forgot to turn off wallpaper scrolling, thanks sshede. take care buddy and look after yourself.................sudeki300
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!
I could finally create a fantastic wallpaper using Tapet with vignette effect... so I used the app to set it as background... and it looks as great... I saved to the Gallery to set as lock screen wallpaper and in the gallery it looks as great... I set it as lock screen wallpaper and the ugly circles of image compression appear on the wallpaper... it doesnt appear with I use Tapet to set the wallpaper... only appears when I use the system to set the wallpaper... does anyone know if this can be fixed?

Since when I got the S6 I noticed this problem !
First time you set the picture there is no problem and the image is fine. At this point the system saves a copy in your history of wallpapers, If you set your wallpaper using this history the quality will get very bad.
Instead you should try re-selecting and re-cropping the picture even if the picture is already there start all over...
