I love the tablet and am fine with the stock launcher and everything, but I'm having issues setting a good wallpaper.
The one I want to use looks great if I align the top-right corner of it to the top right of the display, both in portrait and landscape mode. However, if I try to set it to that in either mode, it seems to crop the image to fit just that mode and when I rotate the display it keeps the image's new center point and just scales it up to keep the screen filled, cutting off the wrong edges and looking terrible.
Is there any way to fix this? Am I stuck trying to use a 3rd-party launcher if I want to use this wallpaper?
Thanks

Basically the question is how to make it so when you turn your droid x to the side (horizontal) the home screen changes with the move?
As far as I know, the only way the home screen shows horizontal is when it's in the car or multimedia dock
You could use LauncherPro to do this

Yea, most of the alternate launchers do this. I use ADW and it has a setting for it.
I ended up turning it back off though. What looks like a 'normal' layout in portrait, always looks funny to me when compressed vertically and stretched horizontally.
It annoyed me, so I leave mine in portrait unless car-docked.
Just my opinion
Is anyone else having problems with wallpaper on Launcher Pro? Using the default launcher, the wallpaper scales down to the size I set. Launcher Pro keeps it HUGE and cannot be adjusted no matter what the resolution is.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem, it happens basically with any launcher that is non stock. theres apps that can fix the problem, but seems like a quirk that we're stuck with

So I was having the same problem and figured out what causes it, and a way to generally avoid it.
what seems to be causing it: Allowing home screen rotation. It appears that as soon as you rotate, Launcher pro resizes the wp to that pixelated mess, and will not revert it back once returning to portrait. I've had it happen also while going to the home screen while having the browser in landscape
to prevent: from home screen click menu / preferences / behavior settings / -> and make sure "enable auto rotation" is unchecked. (don't worry you can still rotate in apps by activating the rotation setting in the notification bar, unchecking that box just prevents the home screen rotation)
to fix your current messed up wallpaper: click menu / settings / applications / manage applications / -> click launcher pro / click clear defaults.
this will allow you to activate touchwiz again. So hit the home screen button and select TW to complete that action. after it's done try setting your wp again. Go ahead and reset launcher pro as your default now and your wp should still look good. You should now be able to crop new wp's and have them look fine too.
you shouldnt have to do this again
all set!
That did the trick. Thanks!
I tried that but it didn't work on my evo 3d
there is another work around
open the pic you want to use
rotate your phone to landscape mode
set your wallpaper using the landscape square, not the narrow one. Let it finish.
rotate your phone back to normal
your WP should now not be that pixelated mess
I have a Google Nexus 4 and Google Nexus 5.
I use GO Launcher Ex and GO Multiple Wallpaper.
I have 9 different pics as a separate wallpaper for each home screen. When I turn my phone sideways to landscape view it auto-rotates my screen like I want it to but the wallpaper also rotates and it only shows part of the wallpaper. I can easily push a widget toggle to turn off
auto-rotate but I want it to rotate. I don't want the wallpaper to rotate when the rest of the screen does.
Please help me figure this out. I attached screenshots of my home screens when it rotates.
Thanks in advance.

Howdy all,
Unless I am missing something. Can the messages scroll in the same orientation like the clock at night. Example if you have cnn streaming the words run along the main screen. I would have liked it run away from the main screen if I have the edge laying flat on a table and looking straight at it. Hope I explained it well enough lol.
Yes, kinda
If screen rotation is on, you can check the box for 180 degree rotation in the edge panel settings. This will rotate the edge panel correctly with the phone.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work without auto rotation on, which I don't like.
Hey all. Gosh I feel like an idiot for posting but cant for the life of me figure this super basic thing out.
Im on a S7 Edge, using Nova Launcher, and the Goodluck UI. Wanted to mention all that as I think that is why Im having so much trouble. No matter what app, or setting on the phone, it makes the wallpaper the same for both the lock scree and desktop. Can someone tell me what steps work with the configuration I have
Thanks!
Usually you would use the wallpaper setting in Android itself and tell it to set the Homescreen/Lock screen separately using the dropdown at the top of the wallpaper choice screen, but iirc, Good lock has its own wallpaper setting, I don't use it so not sure where it is, but I'd have a look in Good lock settings to start
You can set the home screen however you want, but the lock screen has to be done a specific way. Go into the stock Gallery app, find the pic you want to use then hit "More" in the upper right corner. Then "Set as wallpaper" and choose which you want to set it for, home screen, lock screen, or both.
It's annoying to have to use the Gallery app as it has no way to filter out unwanted folders like all my music folders with album art, but it is the only way I've found so far to set different lock screen and home screen wallpapers.
