hello everyone, I am having a very annoying issue with my wallpapers that i'm trying to set. whenever i set them. it will not let me set the entire wallpaper as my wallpaper. I HAVE to crop it down and it just makes my wallpaper's look like ****. I've tried re sizing them and looked all over the net for them but all the 960x800 one's i get do the same thing.
any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm on cm9a4 if that helps at all. thanks!

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence here, just trying to cover all of the bases....
When setting a wallpaper, are you touching and dragging the orange lines to make the box bigger?

If you want the wallpaper to fit perfectly you need an image that is 480x800. Then the entire image will fit the screen.

Was just wondering if it was possible to have a slideshow/running loop of pics as my wallpaper. If so, can anyone explain how? Thanks for any insight.

I never thought of that but it would be sweet. Does anyone know of an app that can do that?
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, there are a lot of settings and customazations in it but you can configure it to change to a different wallpaper by time intervals, restarts, locks/unlocks, screen swipes, etc.

No sir. There are a ton of fee live wallpapers in the market though. My fav is fireflies. I just think it's cool as hell. Anyway, nah, I don't think Zedge has live.
JustPictures (my favorite picture viewer) has a live wallpaper that will slideshow the pictures you save as favorites.

sweet...thanks to all for the suggestions. I also found wall switch in the market which works pretty good too. Thanks again!
Sure you need to give this app "Slideshow Live wallpaper" a try: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.oslwp.fototiles

does anybody know how to get either/both the grass or dandelions live wallpaper as a regular wallpaper? but please make sure the picture can fit the screen.
Or how about just all the stock Galaxy S wallpapers in a .zip for EF02?

I'm going to guess so he can set them as his wallpaper...
Why 2 threads? Your other thread already has the only 2 ways to do it that I know of.

i want to get those pics because if i use them as a live wallpaper it will waste a lot of battery, but i really like those wallpapers, so i want it as a regular wallpaper
On launcher pro, set up an extra screen with no shortcuts or dock icons on it, with a transparent dock, and set your home button so it hides the status bar. Run drocap2 and take a screen dump of that blank page, then apply that screen dump as your wallpaper. Set all settings back to normal after.

Hey guys. Can someone help me out? How do I get wallpapers to fit my screen properly? If I download a wallpaper say from zedge, when I apply it, it always seems like ive blown it up. I want it to fit so I can see the entire wallpaper. Thanks
your looking for something with a 960x800 resolution if u want it to scroll. Otherwise ur standard size for a lockscreen background or wallpaper its 480x800 i hope that helps!
An app called wallpaper wizardrii cured my ills!!

I always get it to work by taking a screenshot then opening the picture in the gallery from the screenshot folder, menu > set as wallpaper and it should be normal size. Im a newb so im not sure if their is an easier way. Hope that helps.
Edit: Disregard. Seems to only work for lockscreen. Sorry.

I've been trying to find a good wallpaper instead of the ones provided with no luck. The thing is after the wallpaper being cropped, the resolution will degrade so much.
Is there any special apps or web for installing good wallpaper?
Thanks

Perfect app and it doesn't crop that well automatically but most wallpapers have great resolution

Wallbase is pretty sweet, so is stumblr. If you use wallpaper wazardi to set wallpapers all is awesome, as you can portrait or scroll with it.

You can try "Auto resize/Dbd Wallpaper Set" from the market.
Any picture can be set as a full screen wallpaper (without crop or black bars).

I used Tablet Wallpapers a little bit, it's troublesome in the way that it pushes ads through notifications (or it did a couple weeks ago, I'm not going back to that).
Not an app, but the website www.interfacelift.com has wonderful photos that can be used in high res and cropped as you like.
I'd like to start gathering wallpapers optimized for our screen. I've noticed a lot of wallpapers from zedge just don't fit that well and become distorted. Please post your favorites that fit well on our screen!

They get really pixelated whenever I crop them. That's what I'm trying to get away from

Doesn't seem to be that many good 720x1280 wallpapers out there. Does anyone have any links to good wallapers? I tried the Zedge app, and it seems to have a lot but not many good ones.
Where do you guys get your good ones?
i use picspeed//do a search in the play store
I'm currently using this one. This one is from zedge.

+++ This site is sick. Awesome selection of wallpapers to fix any resolution. Thanks for posting this!
You can also do an image search in Google restricted to 720 x 1280 and get a lot of results. Lots of screenshots but also some nice wallpapers. Here's two I liked after a quick search...
If anyone comes across Galaxy Note 2 boot screen paper please post.
It makes for good looking lock screen wallpaper

I have had a few of them for a long time. They are not really iphone 5 wallpapers but more so just cropped to fit the iphone 5.

What I usually do is look for wallpapers that are BIGGER then the note 2 resolutions, then I use photoshop to crop/transform them in to exactly the right resolution for the note 2.
If I do it like this, the note 2 doesn't have to resize and the wallpaper will remain crisp.
Touchwiz doesnt support scrolling wallpapers anymore ( :crying: ) so that resolution would be 720x1280
If you use e.g. Apex Launcher, you can set a scrolling wallpaper. The resolution for that is 1440x1280.
To me it looks like the stock 'wallpaper setter' can do cropping just fine, but any form of resizing makes the imagequality worse.
I got some examples on my dropbox here
