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.

I've only had my Inspire for a little over a week. One thing that was driving me nuts is that no matter how I resized my pics, they were always stretched and distorted after I cropped and set them as wallpaper. This "Wallpaper Maker" app by Qiang Liuapp made it easy. You can enlarge or shrink the image inside the crop box to make it as large or small as you want it to appear on your home screen.

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. 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!

yes i know sir, but somehow. it isn't fixed as i want it to be. its cropped.
Does anyone know the dimensions for the Droid Razr HD wallpapers? I'm trying to scale my favorite wallpapers that I have for use on the phone
This is a great question, I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I've seen screenshots 3 ways:
1.) Where the wallpaper extends all the way down behind the buttons.
2.) Where the wallpaper extends half way down behind the buttons.
3.) Where the wallpaper ends at the top of the buttons.
I'd like to know how to get it to go ALL the way down. Even the stock ones stop half way down the buttons for me.
I think this may have something to do with Nova Prime...
Bump. How do we get wallpapers to go all the way down when using Nova?
Standard Android wallpapers are as follows... 1x vertical resolution, 2x horizontal resolution. In the case of the 720x1280 Razr HD, you want to create your wallpaper at 1440x1280. Keep in mind that it'll be centered on the screen and not scroll with the default launcher, but the image still needs to fit that size to avoid the phone resizing it.
Other launchers can turn scrolling on and off, and Wallpaper Wizardrii can resize wallpapers, and will allow you to set 720x1280 images as wallpapers without padding the sides to the double resolution.

Does your background image extend behind the buttons to the bottom edge of the display when using Nova?
When I use Nova Launcher, backgrounds are cut off half way down the buttons, when I go to the default launcher they go all the way down (same wallpaper).
Hay guys.
So i have been looking around for a few years now and for a solution to tasker image crop issue...
Ok so i solved this problem with a few settings.
1. Nova Launcher prime:
[1. Disable the wallpaper scroll option.
[2. 1ste select a wallpaper as your wallpaper and the select nova wallpaper.
[3. crop the image to your full screen with the second button on the left bottom screen. (Portrait or landscape)
2. If all the above is done, then your "set wallpaper" option in tasker will sett the wallpaper to crop with full screen no resizing!!
Now you can resize any picture you want to your screen res with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.nsystem.resize_lite.
This you have your perfect fitted image and tasker sets it like that (No Resizing!)

I tried this, and while it does work, it doesn't allow you to scroll wallpaper anymore (since you've disabled it). If you're using Tasker to set wallpaper, there is a good chance you're getting it to randomize it as well. For someone like myself, this means having a mix of both landscape and portrait images; if you disable wallpaper scrolling, then the landscape images suffer.
This really just needs to be fixed in Nova Launcher. I've up-voted a request for this feature, as well as posted in the Nova Launcher thread here:

Hopefully it gets fixed properly!
