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

Hello all,
I'm having a devil of a time with this one. It's probably been answered before, but there are so many threads and responses on here. Perhaps some of you can save me a lot of time and effort here?
I have an HTC Wildfire with the nightly build of Cyanogenmod. Everything's fine, except that the wallpapers (even the stock cyanogenmod ones) are all grossly oversized, showing only a small part of the image, which is all pixelated and blurred of course. Any new picture I've put on there has the same effect. Even resizing one to recommended defaults for the screensize using PS only does the same thing. I've tried setting the crop from the gallery to the full size of the image, but that doesn't work either.
I have the scrollable wallpaper option turned off in ADW as well. I just can't find ANYTHING to simply have a nice image sized properly on the background of the screen. It simply seems that the mod won't scale the image properly. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Try Wallpaper Set & Save to set your wallpaper. It's free in the market.

I have tried 4 different Launcher's now..
AWD.Launcher
Go Launcher Ex
LauncherPro
TouchWiz
On the first 3, every time i set a background image, i only get the middle section of it all pixilated and halfassed.
With all 4 of them, you long press the background, select wallpapper > Gallery > find Pic> select Tall Cut out & set accordingly.
The only one that manages to actually set the picture area properly as the tall cutout crops to is TouchWiz.
What is it doing wrong or what am i not getting?
any help would be a kindness to this poor soul of mine
Try Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market it has different options of cropping. I use it and it works GREAT!
From what I know if your on whites tw4 then it does that even if you use a different launcher. The wallpapers work fine on his tw4 but not on any other launcher while tw4 is still installed
Hope that helps

Worked Perfectly, thankyou
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.....
Hello
I'm sorry if someone already posted this. I just flashed the new ICS leak (ucld4). When I go to set my wallpaper I get the orange box but it doesnt let me enlarge it. In other words, its only a portrait box and doesn't stretch for larger images. Is this a known bug? If it is any known fixes?
Thanks
Use a different launcher. If u like the ics look try nova, apex, or trebuchet
I'm using apex launcher. It still doesn't let me enlarge the orange box. Am I doing something wrong?
Try using quickpic to set wallpaper
Thanks. That app seems to fix the wallpaper issue.
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
