Hello.
As you are aware, it is not possible to pick a wallpaper for the One S without having to fill in the left and right fields in the wallpaper picker, whereas only the center field of the actual screen resolution is used. Especially in the Jelly Bean update this is an issue, as that version doesn't even have wallpaper scrolling, therefore having to pick wallpapers with extra margin is a pain in the royal hindbody especially if the image in question isn't widescreen but rather portrait.
Is there an app to fix this behavior, e.g. to either allow for [screen resolution only] wallpaper cropping or an app that allows the same during setup, and automatically adds black borders to the left and right (since these won't be visible given the lack of scrolling wallpaper)?

Or you can change launcher to one that lets you change how you set a wallpaper.

Does anyone know of an advanced wallpaper app, or possibly a mod for the gallery available? I'm looking for something that maybe when cropping an image as a wallpaper adds lines for the center home screen in the crop box, and/or possibly can create a wallpaper that only takes up the Center home screen. I sometimes use the non scrolling wallpaper option in Launcher pro, so a narrower image would also suffice.
Hi!
I want to set maximized picture as a wallpaper, but now i must cut it before i set it.
What should I do?
How to maximize wallpaper on android
Hello ,
to maximise wallpaper on android actually it totally depend o n which type
device you use, your screen can be a huge battery consumer. Looking under your settings at ‘battery use’ gives you a breakdown of the biggest battery consumers. On my phone, the display is always number one, so I set it to automatic brightness, which works much better than using manual brightness settings via the Android Power Control widget .
Thank you,
try app "wallpaper plus"
OP, your Wallpaper needs to be 960x800, (providing your device is the usual resolution), to avoid the issues you are having.
I'm assuming up to now you've been trying to set one that is 480x800? The extra width is to take into account the Homescreens scrolling from side to side.
Hope that helps.
"Superwall Lite" will set any wallpaper without cropping, and scroll accordingly if needed. It is a live wallpaper, but it won't eat your battery the way most do because it's just showing an image.
I know that the original post was a while back, but just in case anyone else is curious. The app is especially good for using a vertical image, but you can also use really long images and the screens will move as such.

Download andWobble2 as well as the live wallpaper add on for said program. You can use any picture with it, just select the one you want to use, load it, save it and use the live wallpaper to use that picture as your wallpaper. The weird android resizing won't take effect.
I'm using Wallpaper SlideShow, doesn't need to crop or resize image.
Unable to set wallpaper without cropping a portrait-ready-made-wallpaper, it's annoying because i made the wallpaper myself, in the settings (in this case Trebucher launcher) i made sure i deselected scrolling wallpaper, wallpaper is 720x1280 and if it's cropped it's made smaller and doesn't fit the screen like it should, are they any apps that fix that? i found an app the other day but i uninstalled it since the icon sucked and wanted to get rid of it.
Ok I was annoyed about this as much as anyone else so I did some testing. Hold your homescreen, choose live wallpapers, choose Asus Myframe, choose settings, choose select folder or album, choose select photos, choose what folder you want to choose from, pick a picture, now while still in myframe settings choose effects static, slideshow interval 1 hour or whatever and check scrolling wallpaper.
Now you have scrolling wallpapers. I know it may use a little more battery since its a live wallpaper, but hey, works for me.
Thanks for figuring that out!
Not only did it make my favorite wallpaper image scroll nicely, but uses much more of the original than my ex-Prime's cropping method did. Couldn't figure out why Infinity's screen didn't use more of it with its larger resolution, but the regular wallpaper method used much less than on the Prime, plus it didn't scroll. Now in horizontal it uses the entire height of original and almost the whole width, in vertical also uses same/entire height but of course much less of the width, and both scroll perfectly.
I don't think the ASUS MyFrame will use any more battery than if it was regular scrolling wallpaper. All it will do is refresh the same image every hour but that's negligible. Great solution to a major (if only cosmetic) issue!

Glad I could help! :victory:
This is amazing, thank you! I missed my scrolling wallpaper from the Prime
How do i make it set the whole picture without scrolling along with the android pages. I just want to use my picture i took as a solid WP.
Awesome! I really missed this feature
I've been using projectM's live wallpaper instead of the static wallpaper, but that uses more battery I'm sure. Now I can have low battery consumption females again!

Use Picspeed wallpaper for that, choose what picture you want to use, then on the dropdown menu set as and use picspeed to set the wallpaper.
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).
