I could finally create a fantastic wallpaper using Tapet with vignette effect... so I used the app to set it as background... and it looks as great... I saved to the Gallery to set as lock screen wallpaper and in the gallery it looks as great... I set it as lock screen wallpaper and the ugly circles of image compression appear on the wallpaper... it doesnt appear with I use Tapet to set the wallpaper... only appears when I use the system to set the wallpaper... does anyone know if this can be fixed?

Since when I got the S6 I noticed this problem !
First time you set the picture there is no problem and the image is fine. At this point the system saves a copy in your history of wallpapers, If you set your wallpaper using this history the quality will get very bad.
Instead you should try re-selecting and re-cropping the picture even if the picture is already there start all over...

Using CM7 on EVO, setting a wallpaper via the stock wallpaper manager always produces a blurry, stretched wallpaper.
I have used wallpaper set and save in the past, but I find it clunky and I have to set up the wallpaper folder after each reboot. On top of that, it only sets wallpapers at 640x480 (I think)
Are there any apps out there that will allow me to set a wallpaper to 800x480? I can't find any since searching the marketplace for an app is always a nightmare. Any suggestions?

i'm trying to set a single screen wallpaper on my XE, the size of the pic at the moment is 540x960. but when i try to set the wallpaper it only allows me to get half of the pic, what size should the wallpaper be so when i select it i can choose the whole pic and not half. any good wallpaper apps would also be appreciated. thanks...........................sudeki300
It should be about 1080x960 to get the full wallpaper in there.
You can use the GIMP and it's Resize Canvas tool to make white space on the sides of the image to convert the image to 1080x960. If you post the wallpaper or link it, I can do it for you.
Image 2 Wallpaper is on the market and can do it for you, as well.
here is the pic i'm trying to use, is that the correct size for setting the wallpaper using the screen size thingy that is used before setting a wallpaper in sense, sorry i don't know the correct name for the app. thanks buddy...................sudeki300
Try this one.
that was super fast give me a sec and i'll try it.................sudeki300
works ok in sense launcher (little blurred on the text) but when i try to set the pic in nova or apex launcher i get half the screen with the image and the other half in black. how can i fix this?..............sudeki300
edit: it's ok i sorted it, forgot to turn off wallpaper scrolling (duh). thanks so much for your quick help, that's why i love XDA forum........................sudeki300
Set Nova and Apex Launcher to not scroll the wallpaper and make sure its cropped right down the center (that resizable rectangle screen) and it should work fine. This wallpaper will not work in landscape mode (apex or nova's auto-rotate feature) cause it'll leave black bars along the side.
Text shouldn't look blurry because I shrunk it from its original size, if anything, it should look crisper. I'm away from my PC right now but I can assist you further later.

How can i set my homescreen wallpaper the same res (size) as my lock screen?
what i mean is, if i set wallpaper as lock screen the whole picture shows, if i set the same pic as homescreen wallpaper its cropped or zoomed in with part of the picture missing.
is there anyway i can have it so both look like the lock scren?
thanks
james
This seems like it should be simple! I have changed the wallpaper in Nova to a static image but the lockscreen still shows the Xperia live wallpaper. I tried switching back to Xperia launcher and setting it there but no luck. The lock screen still shows the live wallpaper instead.
Is there any way to set it to a static image?

Settings - personalization - lock screen or alternatively you can just go straight into your photo gallery , choose a pic and from the options select 'set as lock screen wallpaper'
I knew it would be something simple I was too dumb to find! Thanks
I wanna do the opposite. I've changed the theme and now I can't find a way to make the lockscreen wallpaper to be the same live wallpaper than my homescreen. I'm on kitkat rooted. help please =(

I don't think you can change lockscreen wallpaper to a live one, even rooted.
Hello everybody, Why if I set the wallpaper that takes random pictures by the gallery native, the display set me crop of the picture and not the whole image?
thank you.

No, I mean the wallpaper not lockscreen.. If you set the wallpaper with random pics taken from the native folder (folder with green leaf and sea wave, sax, desert...) the pic on wallpaper become cropped and zoomed grainy, in short, bad!

You know when you choosing wallpaper for home screen it will give you option fixable or scrollable .. and if u choose scrollable u can adjust your picture..
Try play with that..

Hi. I have the same issue. It's from the EMUI firmware and unfortunately you can't fix it. We should send them a message to fix this problem.
But until then I found an solution. I tried many wallpaper changing apps and all beside one, have the same problem because of the settings from the EMUI - shows crop & zoomed images.
So the only app that I found and it's working corectly is SB Wallpaper Changer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.wpchanger.
It has a lot of cool settings that you can play with. Try it to see if it's working for you also.
