HTC Chacha - how to set as wallpaper without cropping - HTC ChaCha

I did not face to this problem wit any phone i used before!
U cant set full screen wallpaper on ur Chacha, even on all Android phones. When u set an image to be a wallpaper, Android request u to crop it. Only 2 button show : Save and Discard. If u chose Discard, the process skips.
Even u chose crop full of ur image, u only can see a part of ur image in the main screen. Another parts u can see when u slide to left or right screen.
I tried to fix this prob wit WALLPAPER WIZZARDRII (i chose Scale mode), it was sucessful. However, when u restart ur phone, the wallpaper become smaller though it is 480x320 size (the size of Chacha screen)
Can anyone suggest me an application or a solution for this problem, Thanks!

I just use this App "Simple Image Wallpaper Free" its simples. lol

Many thanks. It works perfectly. It runs as a Live Wallpaper, that's the reason why it can skip "Wallpaper rule" of Android.
Btw, can i know the path of default wallpaper in Android, i want to delete some of them. Thanks
Wait a min, i've just checked this soft. It runs as a service (I see in Running). It means ur battery will drain a bit wit this software.

Which ROM? Sense or AOSP? And it doesn't take hardly any battery use it everyday with hardly any effect to battery. If its a super awesome live wallpaper which has flying dogs and 3D crap then that might take some battery.

Im using CM7 ROM, this rom have some freakish default wallpaper like MegaFox Superwoman without bra )

That will be CMWallpapers or something like that in /system/app/, use apktool to decompile.

[APP] Wallpaper Changer

I made this little app called Wallpaper Changer which comes with a widget to let you change your wallpaper with one click.
Simply add the wallpapers to a "rotation list" in the app and then you can rotate through your list with a single click on the widget. Additionally, you can also activate a timer which automatically changes your background image on a predefined time interval. You can also chose to enable the timer only when connected to an external power supply, though I haven't felt a significant battery drain with an interval of 30 mins yet.
If you don't use the timer, then there's no background service running or something, so it shouldn't affect your battery or performence in any way. Therefore it might take some seconds to actually change the wallpaper as the images are loaded only on demand.

This looks cool. I was thinking about something like this today. I'll check it out. Maybe you could add an option to change the wallpaper everytime you lock or unlock the phone.
thanks for the suggestion, i will implement it in the upcoming release
Looks good & promising Nice job

thanks very nice idea... I missed it on my desire s.
It would be great to have the option to add a whole wallpaper folder (not single wallpaper ... if you have more then 10 wallpapers.... )

+1 for "Add folder" feature
ok, convinced i'll look into that...
edit: done. click 'add wallpaper', then select an image in the folder you'd like to add. the app will now ask you if you want to add just the selected image or the whole folder
thank you
updated and tested on Wallpapers folder, added all 50 pics. thank you so much j4velin
I am so getting this. Thanks bud.
Can you make it so if it is set to "0" it doesn't change the wallpaper automatically (for if you do the lock/unlock)
Can you make it so it changes on phone lock so you don't see it change; when you unlock it's already a new wp?
if you uncheck "enable on boot" and never press "start rotation" then it shouldn't change your wallpaper automatically but just on widget click or on unlock (if you enabled "change on unlock").
changing the wallpaper before the unlock is a bit more complicated as the app has to change the wallpaper on screen off then. and to get screen off broadcasts, the app has to run all the time - which might drain more battery
Nice app, I'm digging the widget!
I get force closes when I add a folder (maybe it's because it has too many pics in it - about 700..)
After adding the folder I also get force closes when I go into the app.
N1 on CM7.

yeah, that's because the app runs out of memory when loading preview images for 700 files
i haven't though that someone would like to add that many images... i guess i have to split the previews in diffrent "pages" to fix that. be patient

Great, looking forward for it. 700 isn't that many again, is it?
well, you seem to like changes ^^
as a workaround, it'll now only show preview of the first 50 images. so you should at least open the app again ^^

Why don´t you just put an option to completely disable preview? I already know the images that are in the folder.
EDIT: Loaded a folder with 696 images without problems, set to change on unlock. Change takes 3-4 seconds after unlock, but I guess that´s normal. Gonna try later with a 2000+ images folder. Thanks.
omg you don't want to see any wallpaper twice, do you?^^
Great! I'm looking for something like this but for the lockscreen wallpaper, maybe its posible to add this feature to the to-do list?

wallpapers =]

well im not afraid to admit it but im super lazy atm and was wondering if anyone could post some video game wallpapers hd prefered also if theyd fit the size of the tablet itd be great you can either post pictures of them or a zip file containing them would be AWESOME.. and some abstract/random wallpapers would be good too please and thankyou in advance
Have you looked at Wallbase because they have a lot of everything including gaming wallpaper, you just have to know how to search for it.
I second that, wallbase is great.

If you are using the stock browser you can long press on an image and select "set as wallpaper". It will auto crop if necessary, the result is just as good as if you cropped manually or sometimes even better.

There is an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and it will crop very little of your image and most of the image should show. It's very useful and a lot of the forum members here use it.

[Q] CM7 wallpaper size

Rooted my Fire and installed CM7. I am trying to install wallpaper but i cant get the size figured out. When i go to set the jpg as the wallpaper it is making me draw a box around an area and the box is smaller than the jpg. The wallpapers that come with CM7 work and look great, but i cant figure out the size of the screen for wallpapers i want to make. Thanks
Something like 960x800 (default Zedge wallpapers size) worked for me.
Take a look on that pack.
Around 40 wallpapers from there, simply chosen by me.

can you get the zedge app on the amazon app market?
Can't tell you, I'm on CM7.
Try simply search for "Zedge" or if you can't get it through Amazon, try to sideload it. Apk for you is right here.
The app is free, so nothing criminal, I think.
It looks like the wallpaper size is actually 1024x600
I'm having an issue installing wallpapers. I'm trying to pull them from my gallery but it keeps re-sizing.
Is there some trick to keeping the original size?

This appears to be the same problem i am having. The gallery is making me re-size the pic.
Same thing for me it forces me to resize and the quality turns to crap
No luck. I tried .jgp and .png files. Tried all kinds of different sizes and it still makes me crop it......
Have this problem with Gallery too.
Only option now for me is 960x800, at least looking not so low-res.
I tend to stick to very simple Live Wallpapers or none at all due to how fugly any image file tends to look
anyone come up with a solution to this problem yet?
this stupid problem ... I too annoying.
I just set wallpapers through PicSpeed Wallpapers. When it asks you to resize, pick the portrait box and it looks good
Sent from my Samsung Fascinate on the XDA app
If you search google for a wallpaper that is 2048x1600 or something huge like that and use it on CM7 it works out looking great, at least it did for me.

You can do this with WallBase. make sure whatever wallpapers you want(whether they be from your pc or downloaded on to your Kindle) are in the "saved" folder of the "WallBase" folder. You don't even have to resize it. It also keeps all the images high res.

How to properly apply wallpapers?

I might be missing something here but I can't apply a wallpaper without it being either bad quality (even with a high quality image) or misc. launchers and apps. I am running CM7.
I have the same problem, and also the wallpaper keeps changing to the wallpaper from the lock screen. I'm sure there's a solution posted somewhere.
I'm sure there are plenty of ways to do this, but I used the Kindle Fire Utility. Under "Extras", there's an option to lock or unlock the wallpaper. Unlock the wallpaper, make your change, and then lock it again. Mine hasn't changed since.
I think the quality problem has something to do with how the device is scaling the image if it's not the correct resolution.
I found that it's very hard to get a wallpaper to look good in both landscape and portrait view depending on the resolution. This is unfortunate because I have a ton of wallpapers that would look great on the kindle but they just don't display right.
Having issues with this myself...tried the lock / unlock..no luck.

Just checking...did you mean unlock / lock ?
The default factory setting is unlocked (and lock screen changes the wallpaper every time it is cycled) so use bebrooks1 method (post #3)...it worked for me on stock rooted.
I found this. I haven't tried it yet but it's worth a shot.

As far as I know, the accepted method for properly setting wallpapers (on Android in general) is to use an app such as Wallpaper Set And Save from the market. It'll set the wallpaper at the original image quality.
I always use Wallpaper Wizardri to set my wallpapers......but with this postiive comes a negative....for some reason it constantly runs in the background. I just use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze it and unfreeze it whenever I need to change wallpapers. Works like a charm.

Downloaded this app and tried it out and it doesnt work. The wallpaper is still very blurry. Looks nothing like the image i selected for the wallpaper.
To change the wallpaper on your kindle and make it "stick", do the following:
Set your wallpaper
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to data/data/com.Android.settings/files/wallpaper
Long press on wallpaper, select permissions from the menu that drops down.
Uncheck the "write" permission for all users then click OK.

Yes I am.
It's /data/, not /sdcard/data or anything else.
I assume you are rooted...what file explorer are you using?
I use ES File Explorer 1.6.1.0 from the Market (not Amazon because last I checked they were a version or two behind)
Then go into settings a scroll to bottom and select ROOT EXPLORER and when asked I think I selected the CM option (and for good measure select MOUNT FILE SYSTEM, although I don't think that is required unless you are working in the /system/ folder).
Now you should see the contents of the /data/ folder...
Hope this helps.

Has anyone figured this out yet? There's a lot of talk in this thread about something entirely different. Most of us know how to make it so the wallpapers no longer change.
What I'm curious about is how to set a wallpaper and not have it extremely stretched and blurry. Neither of the apps listed on the previous page achieve this goal (Wallpaper Set and Save & Wallpaper Wizardii).
This is on the stock ROM (using Go Launcher EX).

Download Wallbase. It's a wallpaper app that I've had excellent results with. Not everything out there will work with tablets. This one does and has TONS of wallpapers in it, HD, and just about all of them look like they were made for tablets.
By the way, the mod that was given earlier regarding how to keep your wallpaper from changing WORKS.

The no wallpaper happened to me one so I l looked on my sdcard Where i put em, in download folder I pressed and viewed in whatever gallery etc, then set as wall. Afterwards when back looking for /data/data/com.android.settings/files I saw wallpaper whose permissions in write column had to be changed.

Automatically change live wallpapers?

Hello all...
I'm looking for any solution for my "issue"... Actually, that's not an issue... it's just a goal in my S10+ homescreen setup.
I recently installed those amazing APKs of MIUI12 Super Live Wallpapers, they are really great!
My goal is that my device automatically changes the Live Wallpaper in a specific time of the day.
I know the walls are day/night mode sensitive, but there are bright and dark ones that do not respond to d/n trigger.
In addition, I ABSOLUTELY HATE LIGHT THEMES IN MY APPS. That is why I'd like my phone to change between installed Super Live Wallpapers APKs... I would love to use them in light and dark modes, according day/night hours, and keeping everything else in the phone in dark mode.
Can somone point me a solution?? Macrodroid? Tasker? I am not good with those... And Could not do it with Bixby Routine.
Really hopes someone can help me here!
Regards!

There are many wallpaper change applications that let you change wallpapers at specific time/intervals. One that you can start by in addition to already available "stock wallpaper picker" is an application called "Google Wallpaper." You can find it over here:

Since, I had tried many wallpaper utilities in the recent past when I was looking for the one that can change the wallpapers separately and at a specified time, here are a few that I finalized.:
1. Casualis:Auto wallpaper change
2. Daily Wallpapers - Auto Change Wallpapers
3. Changer - Wallpaper Manager
All these apps are available on Google Play Store. Maybe, you can find your best one.
