[Q] Wallpaper changer + cropped images - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i have multiple images which i have cropped to 480*800 , i then downloaded wallpaper rotator , the problem is the images on the background are highly pix-elated and i have no idea how to make it set to the right size , when i actually view the images on the phone by themselves they are crystal clear.
Is there a solution to this ? i even saved them as png files.
i know there are apps to do this , but is there a way without one? id like to use wallpaper changer so that when the background image changes there all in the right scale

Your wallpapers have to be 960x800 (width x height) because of the scrollable background.

Need help with Wallpapers

Got my new Desire and i have a problem, i want to set a wallpaper that i have but problem is i can only drag the box to like half of the actual wallpaper size which is 480x800 so no fun getting half of the image only.. is there a setting for this?
You need to make your wallpapers 960*800
You need to make your wallpapers 960*800
eh what ? that cant be right, then all images will look really weird and stretched out..
the wallpapers are landscape and spread across all 7 screens. 960*480 sounds about right to me, being that the old 3 screen wallpapers were 640*480.....
you can not have a portrait wallpaper. Just not how android works.
960 by 800 works for me just fine. Not streched or weird.

Setting Wallpaper

I have an image that is 320x480 that I'd like to set as my wallpaper. However, each time I try, I'm brought to the screen to crop the image horizontally. I can't for the life of me figure out how to set the full image as my wallpaper (no scrolling on the wallpaper).
Any ideas?
You have to make it 640x480 to make it scrollable.
Is that the maximum size the wallpaper can be? My question is does the width apply to 7 screens as well. Because I have an awesome super wide spider-man wallpaper i wanna shrink down for my phone.

Question about wallpapers...

Every time I want to use wallpaper for any kind....it offers me some kind of resizeable window, so i need to choose what part of picture to use it as wallpaper...how to use whole picture?
Was I clear enough ?
You are clear, but you cant use the whole picture as wallpaper because of resolution.
The picker allows you to choose the shape used for wallpaper and then increases/decreases the resolution used for the wallpaper image.
too bad
Just drag the corners out to make the box the same width as the wall paper. Android wallpapers have to be wider than taller because of the way the desktop scrolls.
Try to use 960x800 wallpapers and you should have all image as wallpaper.
Use 960x800 WP and then drag the resize picer to the corners of the Image so that you have selected the whole Image

[Q] Wallpaper cropping, how to avoid upscaling?

Everyone knows that when you apply a wallpaper with the default Gallery app it crops only a small part of the picture. Hence your wallpaper will most probably look somewhat blurred because it's been scaled up to fit the screen.
The overall resolution of Galaxy Nexus is 720 x 1280
Resolution without the navigation bar is 720 x 1184
Resolution without navbar or notification bar is 720 x 1134
1134 pixel height is huge. Even a 1080p picture would need to be scaled up a few pixels. But because Gallery crops at least 10% off both edges the original picture would need to be much higher than just 1134 pixels to have no upscaling and quality loss.
So I was wondering if anyone knows what is the exact size the picture should be to get no scaling at all when applying a wallpaper?
I know I could use 3rd party apps to avoid cropping but I'd like to know how to do this with the default app.
I do believe that (according to many sources, like some wallpaper threads in this forum) the proper size is 1440x1280. Almost all wallpapers that are found in the Themes and Apps section are already resized to this size to fit your nexus.
EDIT: I forgot to add that in order to use the whole image, drag the cropping square to fill up the whole image when you're using the size I mentioned above. That would guarantee no upscaling.

If you follow previous pattern for wallpaper this should be correct. There's also a ton of high res wallpaper sites that have higher res images. Don't think only in 1080p, ton of PC users are on 2560x1600.

I think I know what you're trying to say because I'm having the same problem...
It used to be that when you cropped up an image for the wallpaper that you could select the full height of the image to the actual height of the screen. But now the crop tool uses two image frames where the tallest one is for the lockscreen (I think) and the wide one is for the scrolling wallpaper. This means that you can't use the full height of the image for the scrolling wallpaper so with many images you end up zooming in on them and they either look blurry, or you can't actually get the whole image in there, cropping off the top and bottom.
I want to know if there's any apps that will allow you to crop to full height and therefore actually use a widescreen wallpaper at it's proper resolution as your scrolling wallpaper...
For a scrollable wallpaper the max resolution for One X is 1440x1280 if i'm right.Then it looks perfectly on home screen and on lock screen.I've tried also with Full HD wallpapers but it's blurry and it looks really bad,so try 1440x1280 and you should be satisfied :fingers-crossed:
Cheers
