how was this possible. uncrop wallpaper stock launcher? - Asus Transformer TF700

i was playing with my TF700, webbrowing etc and i decided to change wallpaper. i don't use any launcher cause i much prefer the stock launcher and more so now after JB. When i selected the wallpaper (offical asus wallpapers) i notice that it did not crop, it actually show the entire 1920x1200 wallpaper in full. It looked so much cleaner and sharper, made me appreciate the screen much more. I did not change to a different wallpaper cause i was afraid to lose it but after i rebooted my device a day after, the wallpaper became crop again.
Anyone know how is this possible. i want my wallpapers back WITHOUT using a different launcher OR livewallpaper (which slowdown the tablet)

id like to know this as i went to a musuem and took a lot of high quality pics to use as wallpaper. i wish i could use the full image instead of a cropped one.

I just changed my wallpaper as well, and it's uncropped. I believe this is a new part of JB that we're seeing.

Use picspeed, install picspeed, go to your gallery, click on picture you want to use, in the dropdown menu on the top right select set as, then you'll youu an option that looks like wood thats for picspeed, click that, choose the widescreen format and scrollable (wont scroll) then set wallpaper. Very close to uncropped, just ever so slightly, hopefully picspeed fixes this, much better than standard way of setting wallpaper.

picspeed doesn't work to well, it use to work great with the prime but some how not well with the infinity. You cannot select the stock wallpapers either with picspeed.

[HOMESCREEN] Cover Flow Home screen

ok so this is a little guide on how to get the 'cover flow' style homescreen. first off, i think some of you (ok well a small minority) will be happy to know that it doesnt require root. all you need is launcher pro or adw luncher and multipicture live wallpaper. now there is a drawback to this method, which is you cant change your wallpaper unless you edit the .psds provided. oh and just for the record i am currently using miui rom but it is not needed. ok so here we go.
1) download the coverflowwallpapers.zip containing the wallpaper for each page
2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
3) get rid of the dock bar and icons from the launcher. it would be a good idea to set a swipe gesture to show the app drawer so you still have access to all your apps. i would also recommend changing the number of home screen rows to 5 to compensate for the row lost due to the thumbnails.
4) download MultiPicture live wallpaper from the market.
5) go to select wallapaper/live wallapers/then select multipicture and then press settings
5) using the images you downloaded from this post and change the wallpaper for each page. (seeing as im a nice guy i numbered them for you)
6) finally, got to the transition type and choose your favourite one. i chose to go with wipe as it makes the thumbnails look like they are rotating but some of the others look great too.
so there it is. hopefully this tutorial isnt too hard to follow. also if you have your won ideas/modifications, post them here cos i wanna see them too
heres a crappy video of it in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx0uGYOUWR0
thanks for doing this! trying it now.
2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
How'd you make it default?
Hit the home button and then a prompt will show your available home screens and launchers. Check the radio button on the bottom of the pop up and select adw or launcherpro. You can clear the "default" if you decide to do something else and not use LP or ADW.

after downloading a new launcher from the market, press the home button and it should give you an option to which launcher you want to go to. check the make default option and then press the launcher you want.
ok, how do I get rid of the dock bar and how do I set a gesture for getting it back?

The way I am doing it is by replacing the icons with a blank icon. Essentially the icons are still there, but invisible and I can still assign a swipe up gesture if I wanted to.
You probably don't want to use the term "cover flow" as I would be willing to bet Apple has a trademark on that term.
2 things :
1. first and foremost, thank you for actually listening to us and making this available for us to use.
2. since no one is really taking the initiative can you make several different walls and icons for us?

sorry I simply don't have the time to do that. this setup was initially made for me but some people asked me to share how I done it so I did. I knew not everyone would like the wallpaper and/or icons which is I why I uploaded the .psd file. there's only so much I can. also it doesn't seem like many people are interested but that's cool as i know this kind of setup is not for everyone.
Don't be discouraged. I've liked this setup since I first saw it--it's very different. If I hadn't just rehauled my own homescreens, I'd be slavishly copying yours.
I do have the time and tools to make something out of your .psd too, so maybe when I get home (i.e. to the PC with photoshop installed) I might try my hand at it.

Enjoy 30 new wallpapers for your Transformer. They are all at 1920x1280 and allow for a little room to crop so you can get them displayed exactly how you want them. Widen the crop box as big as it will go for the best resolution once the image is set.
These are just images that caught my eye and look great on the Transformer. I hope you enjoy.

It looks great on the transformers screen.
Here is a site with some nice wallpaper for the Transformer.

Edit: Rewrite
I'll be re uploading a whole new wallpaper pack with the correct resolutions tomorrow. For now here's what you can do.
Download HD Wallpaper Pack 2
Unzip to your download folder,
Go to market and download "Wallpaper Wizardrii"
Install and reboot
When it comes back up all of the wallpapers should now be visible in the gallery. Choose the picture you want and click on the share button in the top right. Wallpaper Wizardrii should now be a choice. Select it.
From there just click on set and set it to scrolling and it'll adjust the images in the wallpaper pack above accordingly.
Let's get them all gathered up in one spot

I made this wallpaper for myself since I got bored of the ones that came with the tablet already. Nothing spectacular, but I thought since I made it, may as well share it. The jpg version is just a preview by the way. Full size version is in the zip.
Hey guys, I'm putting together a website dedicated to mobile wallpapers for various devices that I own.
After searching the internet for a good site, I have yet to find one that meets certain criteria and almost all of them have wallpapers that don't quite live up to expectations:
-them being too big
-them being too small
-them not being quite the right size to accommodate Android's strange "crop" window you receive after selecting a picture you want to use.
I'm aiming to fix that by having wallpapers designed with Android in mind to not only accommodate the crop window, but also allow you to select and use the entire picture.
I'm still in the process of getting everything running smooth, and there's still some performance tweaks, theme settings, and configuration settings that need to be addressed but eventually I'll get there. I also hope to have a mobile version running soon, so that you can access from any Android device.
This site will also allow guests/registered users to upload their own wallpapers and will automatically resize them according to what album you upload them to.
Anyway, check out the sneak peak here: http://www.freeza-inc.com/walls
Copies of my Bee paper.
I have optimised the one with the blue glow bar for Launcher pro plus so that it sits at the top as a dock background, this will not scale properly with the default home/launcher so I have included a couple without it with the bee top, middle and bottom.
If anyone would like the original photoshop .psd file I will look for it and post it - you could then change the text below the bee to read whatever you like.
Still working on the bee skin for launcher pro plus - will post the apk for skinning when finished.
Must put the damn tablet down - getting a condition known as 'Tablet thumbs' I think.

Wallpaperize & WallpaperizeFree

Here i am!
Again!
I am glad to introduce you my last application called WALLPAPERIZE.
Wallpaperize is now stable but i want to add features in future, actually it does a very simple thing: it sets wallpaper for you.
Where is the news?
Let me explain...
I am not used to keep scrolling wallpaper, i hate it, so i have ever wanted to set an image as wallpaper but usual methods relay on cropping wallpaper for horizontal and vertical scrolling.
I do not need that, i need an app that brings an image and put it as wallpaper, nocrop no frill.
Wizardii is doing that but i can not understand the odd interface and also the bizzar behavior, so here it is WALLPAPERIZE.
Actually Wallpaperize has some limitations (that i will implement very soon):
- only landscape wllpaper
- can not tile in case of that image is smaller then screen dimensions
Wallpaperize comes in two flavors:
WALLPAPERIZEFREE - Free

WALLPAPERIZE- Paid version (IF YOU LIKE IT PLEASE THINK TO DONATE, IT WILL SUPPORT MY EFFORT E IT WILL ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP)
Both versions have and will have the same fucntionality.
This is my first paid application after UPD8R and SWAT, I hope that someone will help me with this latest project in order to continue to develop also FREE applications.

Not in this Rom, but i used Gallery and Quickpick to set the wallpaper.
Seems I got same result as the other users. Wallpaper is displaced towards the top of the screen, leaving the bottom black (without image). I'm on 4.0.3/4 with stock launcher.
Any clue why is the app behaving like this?

That is more odd then previews posts... currently i have no clue and no idea why wallpaper is not displayed correctly.
In theory chosen image is rezized to screen size (1280x768, visible area) and then plotted inside a black (in your case) rectangle with virtual desktop dimension size (1500x1280, if i am not wrong).
Virtual desktop is what you see if you keep scrolling wallpaper mode.
Above dimensions are not hard-coded but requested to the system, so i can't explain that effect.
Could i send you a test version trying to log what happens?

The image is too large. Change the size to 1200 x 800 pixels and you should be able to see most of it (I had to reduce the dpi settings on my current wallpaper to be able to use the entire image).
Make a picture that is 3 times as large as the image you want to use that is kind of plain or like a frame then paste your image into the center of that and put the results on your GNote10. Use gallary to crop the image to the size you want to use and your finished.
Set your wallpaper fullscreen is best to use a app call "Multipicture live wallpaper" Here is how it looks...

MEH, note display doesn.t work with multi wallpaper, only one shows on all.
I would be truly happy if it can be used without another launcher, or if somebody can show me to an app that allows multiple wallpapers for each desktop on stock note 10.1.
I searched my @ss off but no luck sofar.
Maybe DEV thingy to make this work?
It would make my day!:good:
You are correct it doesn't fully work on Note 10.1.... I forgot about that.. I was doing a hub ui when I noticed this a few weeks back..

I was struggling with similar issue - any custom image, even with really high resolution was looking way worse than the sock wallpapers.
When you are setting custom image to wallpaper from gallery, you need to crop it so it fits your screen vertically and horizontally.
Yesterday I've found this app: Image 2 Live Wallpaper and it solved my problem. Here are few sample screenshots:
Setting regular wallpaper - you lose a lot of the image by cropping it so it fits horizontal and vertical screen:

Vertical compare (no differences):
Horizontal compare (a lot of differences):
You will probably need to play with the app's options - I have all check boxes unchecked.

HTC One M8 wallpapers

Has anyone else had issues with third party wallpapers (non-stock wallpapers) being visually downgraded (pixelation specifically) upon being setup? I ended up purchasing the app Facets from the Play Store because I thought all the wallpapers looked pretty cool, however whenever I set one of them as a wallpaper, they end up looking significantly lower resolution. The images themselves look great when viewing them (both within the app and ones that I have since downloaded to my SD card) but once I set it as a wallpaper, I notice a significant difference in resolution. I have included two screenshots for reference: the first is of a wallpaper I have downloaded and am viewing in my Gallery app, and the second is the exact same image after being set as my wallpaper. If you focus on the lines composing the ape's nose, you can see a large difference in quality between the two images. Any ideas why, or perhaps fixes?

Try this with the problematic wallpapers. Install nova launcher, and use the nova launcher wallpaper selector. I've had much better luck with that. BTW what method do you use to get the android L navbar? Figure I gotta start getting used to them some day
