Ok so i did a little research and nothing so far. I have a picture that i want to make my homescreen. I want to make it not have scroll but every app i found just blows it up and just centers the picture. i saw something about modded touch wiz but im hoping to find a easier way because honestly im on the run. I just want the image to be cropped to fit with no scroll.
Any help?
Try this app. It caused no excessive battery drain and it made it easy to set walls the way I wanted to. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cellophanesoftware.superwalllite
Also, you could download picspeed wallpaper app. It offers the ability to set a wall through the gallery using it and you can choose portrait mode. See screenshots. In the first pic, you'll select the 2nd option from the bottom. In the 2nd pic, you'll select the highlighted box on the left under the pic for portrait mode.
Good luck, let me know of any questions.

Picspeed is this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.srsdev.wallpapers
The first one is a live wallpaper app, it will only show up if you select live wallpaper option. This is the reason I mentioned the piece about the minimal battery drain when using it. Go with Picspeed and see if it works for you first though. You may also have to use a 3rd party gallery to select the photo before setting it as your wall. I use quickpic cause it's fast. I just open quickpic, navigate to the photo I want, press menu soft key, select set as, select the option shown above in the pic, and boom! Works every time.

are you using a task killer when i was using one they would stop working sometimes even if i excluded them but they seem to be working fine for me with autokiller
No I don't use a task killer, it just doesn't actually let me put the live wallpaper on, I can see it when I preview it but when I try to set it the background turns black for a sec or two then back to my regular wallpaper

Which live wallpaper in particular? All the ones I've used seem to work just fine.
All the ones I've tried, starfield, a halloween wallpaper, super mario, really ever one I've tried

I had similar issues before a while back. I researched it.The upper end ones have a hard time running, but the lower end ones work. Because of a bug in adw, it will often revert back to default wp. My suggestion is use launcherpro or zeam.
You wont have that issue. Although you may have to keep setting the upper end ones 2 or 3 times. Once it sets it stays on. Just to make sure your not trying to open them from the app tray are you? Because if you are they wont give you an option to open. Make sure your long pressing the home screen, selecting wallpapers,then selecting live wallpapers.
I've been using launcherpro lol and I know how to set live wallpapers but thank for the info, damn I guess their just not for me lol

Does anyone have any reccomendations for an app for this:
Code:
every X minutes do
select 1 photo randomly from [ list, of, gallary, albums ]
auto crop
set as wall paper
Preferably where it is smart enough to crop the image as little as possible, many of my wall papers fall between 1024x768 to 1600x1200, so it's not so necessary on a TF lol.

I tried that but couldnt figure out how to have just one wallpaper and not the one paper for each screen. Is thatpossible?
Yes. Select "single picture" as your source. However there would be no picture scrolling. but it does prevent your wallpapers from being cropped/pixelated.
would it also allow periodic paper switching when single picture as source is selected?
That doesn't make sense. If you only choose a single photo of course it won't change. There is however an option to pick a folder and you can pick how many minutes before it alternates.You can also choose to double tap the screen for iimmediate change.

Thats why i asked. I (and the op i believe) want an app that changes the wallpaper randomly. Not to have different wallpapers for each page. Multi live wallpaper isnt what he needs then. Wallpaper slideshow isnt perfect but it does the trick.
I'm not exactly sure if its compatible with TF, but J4velin wrote an app called Wallpaper Changer that might be what your looking for.
Let me know if it works...
Here the market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=de.j4velin.wallpaperChanger&hl=en

wallswitch in the market does everything you want.
you can point it to a folder full of wallpapers and it will switch between them based on a timescale you want.
as long as the wallpapers in the folder are the correct size it does the job perfectly.

i dont think its optimised for tablets to be honest, although their is a setting you can choose where it doesnt crop the image.
Searching market for wall switch and multi live wall paper, suggests that it's near'ish what I want but not quite. All my stuff has been moved from a shared folder to Picasa, and I have so many that I needed 2 albums...bloody 1000 pictures to an album crap!
On the upside, looks like one of them has source available, so maybe I can figure sth out.

Are there really no other options for lockscreens other than the stock one? Wheres 4-tab? Hopefully someone makes a good rom with all the lockscreens.
If you just mean the photo displayed, use the gallery, hit the settings button and choose use as lock screen.
Also fyi the gallery does a poor job with the wallpaper, it doesn't crop it the way it should.
If you use the image viewer in esfile explorer however, it will work fine.
I read your post again....and no, there's not. I tried an app or two from the market, but didn't like any of them.

Try out GO Locker. It seems to work pretty well.
I use widgetlocker and it looks amazing.

GO Locker means you have to use GO launcher, though.
Yeah I dont like any of the GO products
Use MIUILocker from Play Store.

After moving some images from the camera to a new folder, the regular gallery app won't show them, just a triangle where the image should be. Also, I can't send these images in messages from quickpic. What can I do about this? They're all pics of my newborn son and everybody wants to see him!

did you try clearing quickpic's data and cache
I have a problem with Quickpic too - when I try to assign a picture to a contact - when you pick a picture, choose 'set as' and then try and assign a picture to a contact it just doesn't work. The picture to be assigned opens up with the margins to be set (edit mode), fades away for an instant and then comes back. When you set the margins and click the floppy disc icon (in the top right hand corner) to 'save' the picture the screen goes black and you have to exit the program. I'm fairly sure that this feature used to work fine up until recently. I've even gone as far as to do a factory reset on my phone, reflash my phone's ROM and reinstall the QuickPic app. No change though, I still can't set a contact picture.
Can anyone help? My phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray.

So the images wont show in the stock gallery app or quickpic? Hate to say this but they may have gotten currupted during the move.
I have searched and followed the directions I have found, but I don't have the "done" option after cropping a picture...only a save option. Am I missing something? Can my personal images even be used?
By directions, do you mean
1. Long pressing on blank space on homescreen (stock touchwiz launcher) and selecting Lock Screen?
2. Going to settings>wallpaper>lockscreen?
When you do either one of them, an option should popup to take a photo from the gallery or another application. If you select gallery, you should be presented with most, if not all, the photos on your phone. If you select it, you may be asked to crop it and then in the upper rightmost of the screen, "Done" should be written. Hit that.
Are you following different instructions (not word for word)?
I get all the way to the cropping part and then the only option I have is to save the image.

right, so hit save at that point
When I click save, it sends me back to my home screen! lol
I just tried with Quickpic and when I save the image using that app, it flashes and shows the same screen I had right before I clicked save. It does produce another image, but isn't saved as a lockscreen wallpaper even though that is what I selected.
Has anyone else had this problem or is this simply an error on my part somewhere?
Settings > Wallpaper > Lockscreen
After you hit lockscreen, choose Gallery, then choose whatever pic you wish to use. Crop the picture how you wish, then hit 'Save' in the upper-right and corner. *Hitting save DOES NOT save the picture in gallery, it only saves the picture you crop as your wallpaper!*
Only mine isn't saving it as a lockscreen wallpaper
Let me try is as a homescreen wallpaper....even though I want it as a lockscreen one.
Of course it worked as a homescreen!
BUT....I want it on my lockscreen. lol

....I did it that way first.
Thank you all for trying to help. If it worked for everyone else, I must have a setting different somewhere. Or extreme user error. lol
I finally just uninstalled QuickPic and it worked. It seems QuickPic was taking over for the Gallery.
You must have selected Quick Pic as the default app somewhere along the way.
