I have a problem with Zedge. It shows only portrait aspect ratio instead of landscape wallpapers on my OPO. The problem started with using stock Lineage OS (see attached photo). Is there a way to set it back to landscapes?

Can anyone tell me how i can set a background image on the gtab without the image always needing to be cropped. It seems that every image that i try to set as the wallpaper ends up being zoomed in or needs to be cropped.
Now i understand this to be same on all android devices as it is on my EVO4g.
I guess i am trying to find a way to post a wallpaper that is already formated for the gtab screen to utilize the full image in the entire screen as opposed to having to crop the image and end up with a zoomed in wallpaper..
God I hope this made sense lol
THANKS FOR ANY INPUT!
Look for Multi Picture Live Wallpaper on the Market.
thanks a bunch!

Rooted my Fire and installed CM7. I am trying to install wallpaper but i cant get the size figured out. When i go to set the jpg as the wallpaper it is making me draw a box around an area and the box is smaller than the jpg. The wallpapers that come with CM7 work and look great, but i cant figure out the size of the screen for wallpapers i want to make. Thanks
Something like 960x800 (default Zedge wallpapers size) worked for me.
Take a look on that pack.
Around 40 wallpapers from there, simply chosen by me.

I will give it a try
can you get the zedge app on the amazon app market?
Can't tell you, I'm on CM7.
Try simply search for "Zedge" or if you can't get it through Amazon, try to sideload it. Apk for you is right here.
The app is free, so nothing criminal, I think.
It looks like the wallpaper size is actually 1024x600
I'm having an issue installing wallpapers. I'm trying to pull them from my gallery but it keeps re-sizing.
Is there some trick to keeping the original size?

This appears to be the same problem i am having. The gallery is making me re-size the pic.
Same thing for me it forces me to resize and the quality turns to crap
No luck. I tried .jgp and .png files. Tried all kinds of different sizes and it still makes me crop it......
Have this problem with Gallery too.
Only option now for me is 960x800, at least looking not so low-res.
I tend to stick to very simple Live Wallpapers or none at all due to how fugly any image file tends to look
anyone come up with a solution to this problem yet?
this stupid problem ... I too annoying.
I just set wallpapers through PicSpeed Wallpapers. When it asks you to resize, pick the portrait box and it looks good

If you search google for a wallpaper that is 2048x1600 or something huge like that and use it on CM7 it works out looking great, at least it did for me.

You can do this with WallBase. make sure whatever wallpapers you want(whether they be from your pc or downloaded on to your Kindle) are in the "saved" folder of the "WallBase" folder. You don't even have to resize it. It also keeps all the images high res.
Hi!
I've got a Motorola Xoom, and I'm trying to personalize it a bit, but when it comes to setting the wallpaper I want I'm stuck.
Apparently some design-genious at Google found out that you have to crop your wallpaper so it fits both in landscape- and portrait-view. Doesn't actually sound too bad, but when you realize what resolution the wallpapers need to be; it starts getting utterly stupid. In order to make the wallpaper fit perfectly into the crop-frame it has to be 1920 x 1408px. That means that i have to crop all my 16:10 wallpapers quite a bit in order to make them fit.
What I actually want is a fixed wallpaper. I want a wallpaper that fits in landscape-view (1280 x 800px) and doesn't move when scrolling through the home-screens.
Is this possible?

Maybe I can give you some ideas. First a disclaimer: I'm running ICS and using Trebuchet launcher, and I add my custom wallpapers to the Trebuchet launcher before compiling it myself. I like to have the fancy wallpaper selection screen with my custom wallpapers, so I don't know how this would turn out if you just selected a wallpaper from the sd card and used that annoying crop screen to select a wallpaper. Anyhow, with that out of the way, this is how I do what you describe using a photo editor such as GIMP. Maybe you can adapt this to your situation:
1. Resize the original wallpaper to 1920x1408
2. Add solid black background layer of same size (1920x1408)
3. Resize the foreground picture layer to 1280x800 and save
4. Using Trebuchet launcher, disable wallpaper scrolling
That gives me the entire photo inside one screen without scrolling (landscape mode only). When in portait I have black bars on top and bottom. I'll attach an example. Maybe you can adapt this somehow because I'm not sure how it would work with the wallpaper picker that makes you crop the photo.
That is actually the best solution I've seen so far, but I still feel it is a little too much hassle for something that really should be easy to do.
Thanks for your help!
I think, unfortunately, the most common fix to this issue is to install Multi Picture Live Wallpaper (free in the market).
You can set the picture as the source image and you'll want to disable vertical sync I think it is..
Unfortunately the cropping issue blows and we have to go elsewhere to fix it.
Multi Picture Live Wallpaper is an okay solution, but it is kind of buggy. When changing to portrait-view and back to landscape-view the wallpaper gets zoomed.
After checking the Android bug-tracker I found that there were several people with the same problem, and I added a comment. I suggest that everyone else who is bothered by this, does the same.

I just tried QuickPic and it works great, no cropping necessary, but it leaves you the option to do it if you so choose.
Thanks!!

I am using HTC One V and I tried using quickpic but it doesn't work for me as mentioned above I used option "Set as quickpic wallpaper" and still shows me frame to crop and it doesnt stretch to entire screen. Anybody else faced this problem? Please help. Its annoying that HTC is forcing crop to set image as wallpaper. I downloaded HD 480x800 resolution wallpapers to go with my screen resolution and it still doesn't work
What a great idea though....quick pic def crops but if you put an extension on the photo you could get the whole photo in the crop
How would one do that? Or if someone can make an app...

I use PicSpeed from the market.
Select a pic from my gallery and then set as PicSpeed wallpaper.
Worked great for me.

I've tried this on kindle fire and transformer prime and my wallpaper always resets back to default crop after I go from landscape to portrait, or when I reboot. Any fixes for that?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
I'm not the creator of the app. I don't own a kindle fire to try it out so I'm not sure why that is happening or how to fix it.
As for the transformer... not sure either. I use that app on the tf01 transformer without any issues.
I have also used it on the xoom as well without a problem.
Both of those devices are running ICS ROMS with a custom kernel.
Maybe it's just my launcher then as I use nova prime on both devices

That would make sense. I don't use nova.

My wallpaper only is in landscape and won't fill the screen when I rotate to portrait. Without reinstalling a new ROM, what are my options?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
Is the rotate screen option set to off on the quick menu?
...oh wait you may have the wrong size wallpaper installed for the screen.
This indeed sounds like a picture dimension issue. There's a thread on here discussing the correct dimensions and the considerations in picking a wallpaper that will behave properly in portrait mode, and landscape mode.

The size of the wallpaper is not the issue as previously discussed in other threads here. The "fix" here would be to use Asus' "MyFrame" live wallpaper option or a "Simple Image Wallpaper." I have downloaded all kinds of resolutions of images for my wallpaper and none seem to make a difference without cropping most of the image out.

Is anyone having really weird issues with the wallpaper constantly changing and recropping. Its easily reproducable by taking an image that doesn't allow for wallpaper scrolling and making it your wallpaper. Then if you reboot when you come back it is cropped and zoomed in randomly until you reset the wallpaper. Using trebuchet on stock cm11s

yup that pretty much sums it up. If you reboot it does it instantly
dont pick from the gallery app. instead long press on the background, select wallpapers and then choose pick image. the gallery app needs work.
I believe the cropping issue is addressed in the update rolling out now.
Well, I took the 4.4.4 update and the cropping issue looks to be fixed. The issue I am having now is that I cant for the life of me assign a different wallpaper to the lock screen. It wont take. Whatever I assign to the home screen is what shows up on the lock screen.
