May sound stupid, but the way we have to set wallpapers on this phone is terrible. It only allows me to do like a third of the wallpaper. I remember on previous phones I would drag the wallpaper to set it. Any app suggestions or ideas.

You could use Wallpaper Wizardii (Dload from the Play Store) I use this app to setup scrollable wallpapers.

Yeah i found that annoying as well. I use the quickpic wallpaper app from the play store. Does a much better job of setting the wallpaper without having to crop out 2/3rds of the wallpaper
Do not choose wallpaper for lock and home screens. Do them separately. Cropping is only for the lock screen. Home screen separately does not have the crop option-full image for scrolling purposes.

if youre using one homescreen you could also just resize yourepictures to that screen size.

Depends on the launcher.I use launcherpro and it has the option in preferences.

Adw and go launcher have an option to deselect scrolling. I'm sure most launchers also have it somewhere in there settings.

I use quickpic or stock gallery to set wallpaper. Those allow to set 1 static image or one larger image that will scroll with homescreen. Just make sure you select the right option.

Works flawless on Galaxy S III Skyrocket R4 ROM! Things look much more "finished" all lined up.
Can get more icons on less pages, leaving wallpaper more visible too.
Working nicely. What is the 1 above the am/pm?

I'm not entirely sure myself, but I'm making the same assumption. All I did was mod the layout to fit correctly on the screen
Its not alarms. I have no alarms set and its still there. Odd....

Wallpaper won't display properly. If I choose an already downloaded image and set it, its like blown up and distorted. I use zedge mostly and if I set it from inside the app it displays properly. Anyone else experiencing this?

Nice work. I run 190 dpi and instead of stretching it out it centers everything in the smaller, 240 dpi setting.
Guess I should go to the original thread and report it.

Interesting. I haven't tried changing the DPI on it. I can look at the layout XMLs and see if I can't get it to scale properly. May take some time though.

Not sure. I either use Live Wallpapers or use QuickPic to set the Wallpaper. What ROM are you using?
I have, however, noticed that I sometimes have to set the Live Wallpaper more than one time to get it to take....will have to look into that one.

Sorry if this has been covered, i can't search this particular forum with Tapatalk
Has anyone been able to properly set their wallpaper with landscape proportions rather than portrait? Even when I select my wallpaper of choice, and select the ridiculous cropping I'm forced upon, my wallpaper has large black gaps in any screen other than my middle screen.
I've tried multiple launchers to no avail, the best I can do is to use Holo Launcher and disable scrolling wallpaper; this is not the desired effect.
Is there something I'm missing here?

The wallpaper should be sized 1440x1280 for scrolling to work, 720x1280 for just setting an image as a wallpaper. I use a combination of Apex launcher and I set my wallpaper using "Quickpic" which is available in the Play Store. I think other suggestions include "Zedge" but I have no experience with the app.

No. If It's a square picture there's no reason to crop

Try the Wallpaper Wizardrii app.

Picspeed wallpaper allows uncropped photos. You download the app install it. Now go to you gallery choose the picture and choose the option set as wallpaper, a box should come up with picspeed as an option, choose that option and choose use original, then set. all done
Thank you both for those apps

Does anybody know where to find wallpapers specifically designed for the S3? The wallpapers I put on my phone are always zoomed in or out of focus. I've tried apps like Zedge and it cuts off a good chunk of the wallpaper. It's not a huge deal, just an annoyance more than anything else.
Scrolling wallpapers should be a resolution of 1440x1280. If the links work, maybe this is a good start? Otherwise, try doing online searches for that specific resolution.
