So I'm having "Wallpaper" issues.
I select the image from my gallary and I have the option to either
a) make it span multiple windows/frames or
b) I can select the portrait image and its stays the same on screens (or its supposed to).
When I select option "b" it also ask if I want to make that my lockscreen image too and I say yes.
When I go back to my home screen the wallpaper is enlarged/zoomed in and I can't get it to set correctly. However my lockscreen wallpaper looks perfect like its supposed to. Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix this?
Edit
After some more playing around im finding its launcherpro causing the issue. Funny though when i use that on my sensation it doesn't have that problem. Any suggestions?
Had a similar issue. Search the market for an app called dodol, it's pretty easy to figure out from there.

Look for wallpaper wizardrii in the market. It solved a few wallpaper issues for me.
The application I want to talk about is PicSpeed Wallpapers.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcnNkZXYud2FsbHBhcGVycyJd
A promising application which offers pretty good wallpapers, in my opinion. However it is more than a simple wallpaper application... Not special in a sense where it gives you super exam cheating skills (which I so desperately need right now)... but it gives you MUCH better cropping for your wallpapers in the Gallery app .
So how do you use it and how much better is it? Well to use it start by getting a Wallpaper. So once you got that on your phone go ahead and open up the Gallery. Find and tap on the image. Now hit the menu button and select "Set picture as" (on ICS) or whatever you need to click to set a wallpaper. You will notice a pop-up comes up. The normal options would be contact photo and wallpaper (and maybe whatever else you have), but now we are introduced with the option of "Set as Wallpaper" - with the PicSpeed icon beside it. So tap it (of coarse). Underneath the image will be three images. The first (left) crops the image to use just the middle (based on dimensions) and is not a scrollable Wallpaper. The second (middle) gives you the traditional full-use of the wallpaper in a scrollable state. The one that is most interesting is the last (right) option. This one offers a custom crop. Which means you can make the wallpaper scrollable or not and perfectly set the crop to whatever you want. So once you use the right custom option go ahead and hit the set option underneath it to the far right.
I think that is amazing finally a way to break the terrible cropping options the Gallery gave us. At first when PicSpeed released an earlier version the wallpaper would auto resize and mess up the image. They have updated the app since then and I no longer have to re-set the wallpaper on boot. Another bug I noticed is I cannot set a Wallpaper 'properly' with the traditional set wallpaper function my phone offers me, after I use PicSpeed to set a "custom" crop. This is easily fixable. Go into Gallery and the set the wallpaper with PicSpeed (again) with the Wallpaper with the traditional (middle) option. Or you can just reboot your phone, either way works.
Well yeah I just wanted to share this new amazing application with you all . You're welcome all! No more terrible cropping options YAAAAY!

Simpler way
I found that the Galaxy app in the S3 only crops to portrait too. Simplest way I found was to extract the Galaxy2.apk from a Nexus and install it on the S3 (or replace it entirely) and us it to set the background. You then get the portrait and landscape cropping so you can then have a decent scrollable home screen wallpaper.

You have to install a different launcher to make the scrollable background work.
May you share that galaxy2.apk please?
Thanks !

I dont know if this thread is still active, but I have been running into issues lately with pic speed. I have used it for a while (on my original vibrant) but now im getting issues. Im trying set an image as my background and crop it. Works fine. Crops for me I get it smack dab center and everything is nice. I turn on the scroll function because I just want the static image. Spits out the image and my wallpaper is great, but as soon as I turn the phone into landscape mode, regardless if im in an app or not the image gets distorted and its annoying as balls. Can anyone help me out?
No one know about this app

I am trying to get some wallpapers to fit, when i view them they look good for the screen, but when i set them as wallpapers they get realy messed up.
I tryed alot now including apps that should resize them to fit etc.
the wallpapers i try to use is from here:
http://s700.photobucket.com/albums/ww2/aandrew1967/walls/#!cpZZ10QQtppZZ36
Only ones i get to work are the wide ones that are very rare.
Is there a way to fit the other wallpapers you see there, the tall normal ones ?
Hope someone can help!

I think I know what you're talking about. It's a problem with the way ICS and JB handle wallpapers.
I found that using wallpaper wizardrii or multipicture live wallpaper will do the trick.

I tested crop wallpaper from play store, and selected the part i wanted to use as wallpaper, clicked set wallpaper and the picture is still stretched out and don`t look like how i selected to crop it.
Something is messing up the pics by stretching them.
Also tested the first mentioned app and that one dosen`t work eighter.
Any more ideas i can try ?
Wallpaper Wizardrii is what you need. Press 'Set' and choose 'Crop Portrait'.
if all your looking to do is set a static wallpaper and not have it scroll with screen swipe then you can only enable this on a third party launcher. Sense has a permanent wallpaper scroll and thats why it stretches those pics for you. I recommend apex where you can set static non scroll option.
Alternatively, as mentioned by first reply here, multi picture live wallpaper will also do the trick so long as you set the source folder to contain the ONE wallpaper of choice because sense forces the wallpaper to change automatically to another on screen swipe. If you only have one in the selected source folder, it should just swipe to the same paper of your choice. I may be wrong.

Sorry that was also a no go..
Must be something that stopping me to crop the pictures, could be some function in my ROM or ST(suite Tools)
Not sure how i should solve this, maby reflash without Suite tools.
I also use apex launcher with wallpaper option set to fixed when I want my wallpaper not to scroll

I recently rooted my phone and am using the Stockorama ROM. I'm also using Nova Launcher.
I've been wanting to change the wallpaper for my Lock screen, but when I get to the point of choosing which folder to get the picture from
all I get is the "Wallpaper" folder. Now I've looked around many threads/forums and I can't seem to find the answer.
Please help,
Thanks in advance
are you trying to set it from the home screen, or settings?
If you've replaced the launcher it won't give you access to TW gallery from home screen and maybe not settings.
Install quickpic and try it again.

Thanks for the reply, but Quickpic didn't help me.
Is un-rooting my phone the only way to change my lock screen through the Gallery (or anything other than the "Wallpaper" folder) ?
I've seen other rooted phone users online who have this option available to them. It's really frustrating because I feel like
I can't change the settings for something I paid for
I'm running nova launcher and I can change lockscreen wallpaper fine.. it doesn't give you a "set as" option in gallery?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Nova should have nothing to do with the LockScreen. Look under Settings>Security options for it, it is hidden. (I'm on CM10.1 or I'd post exactly where it is.)
Its Settings, Lockscreen actually. You can customize it there, but to set wallpaper go to Settings, Display, Wallpaper, Lockscreen.

Thanks Doc, I knew it was in a weird place, but couldn't remember exactly.
The phone won't let me change the lockscreen image AT ALL. When choosing a picture and selecting "Set As" I get the following options: Contact Photo, Nova Wallpaper, QuickPic wallpaper, Wallpaper.
When I go to Settings -> Display -> -> Wallpaper -> Lockscreen The only "Select wallpaper from" option I get is: Wallpaper (The wallpaper folder of course). Could I have done something wrong when I rooted the phone? I'm pretty new to this after all (A friend rooted my last phone for me).
Are you using the Touchwiz gallery when you do this, or a different gallery like quickpic?

I'm using the Touchwiz gallery, but the same goes for QuickPic.
+1 to the "wallpaper [app??]" ONLY choice, for the lock screen
Any luck with finding the solution? Rooted quite a few devices, so far, but the combo s3+rooted stock kills me - regardless how many picture manipulation apps I tried installing/uninstalling/making defaults (gallery, quickpic among others), when going into settings -> display -> wallpaper -> lockscreen, the only available "app" to use to choose the wallpaper is ... well ... wallpaper. Trying to set up the lockscreen from one of the picture manipulation apps, via "save as", does not work with lockscreen either.
I scanned the device for the string "wallpaper", and there are some folders obscurely placed in /data/data/com.samsung.....wallpaper/.... Maybe I should try to create my own and place them in one of those wallpaper folders??? But there ought to be an easier method, otherwise why would they offer the one mentioned in the paragraph above???
Does anyone know how to apply live wallpaper on Note 7? I can't seem to figure out, live wallpapers are not showing under the Wallpaper and Themes option.

I couldn't find the option either. Knowing I don't like the stock launcher anyway, I went to my trusty old nova prime. I wanted the stock look with more function so I also added the "MeeUI HD Icon pack" free from the play store, to get the rounded system wide icons. Then with nova, just long press the back button and on the far right there is an option for live wallpapers. Sorry I couldn't answer your question but hope this workaround helps.
Just open the live wallpaper like an app, then click open and apply as usual.

I can get live wallpapers on the home screen but there is no option for running the same on the lockscreen. I am coming from the S7E and that phone had the option.
Yes you correct, .... I am having the same issue ... live wall paper cannot be applied to the Lock Screen ... seems to have no Options to do so.
Samsung !!! why !!!
Any one have a work around ?
Nada on this ??
One of my employees has a live wallpaper working on her lock screen of her AT&T Note 7. I'll have to ask her how she got it to work. She told me she got it through the theme store. I'll find out more tomorrow.

Thanks !! .. I look forward to hearing how she got it working.
It seems to me that Samsung is trying to make us buy stuff through the theme store in order to get the functionality..... that makes me SAD...
So there are live themes in the theme store. It defintiely seems like that is exactly what Samsung is pulling as mostly all of them are not free. I just found the one she is using and the locksreen is live.

If you type in (live) into the search field it will come up with a few live locksreen wallpapers. So it looks like it limited to using the theme store only. Kinda cool helix one with a video attached in the description.

Your not alone... And to be honest things like this bother me way more than the locked bootloader.
At least that has a semi understandable reason.

Totally agree, like I said the S7 edge had the option. Maybe the sales of the Theme store didn't meet their expectations so they are trying to force it on us.
Despite the nonsense of only allowing paid live wallpapers, I would buy an app from the Galaxy store with only one purpose: to enable live wallpapers on the lock screen. This missing feature has me pretty annoyed.
Dears,
just a question... there is any way to access to the store or download that contents directly from PC?
Ok so i had this problem as well if you search for beautiful live weather in app it will pop up with a sun in picture once you install it brings up 3 choices select live weather and asks at bottom if you want to set as wallpaper
Samsmug needs to stop forcing us to only use their "paid" live wallpaper themes. This is completely unacceptable and must stop. I miss having my "Alive" video wallpaper on both the home and lock screens. This really kills the whole experience for me.
At least we still have access to our photo gallery through the samsung themes app. Maybe we can add an animated gif wallpaper to the gallery and add it to our lock screen this way? If samsung allows users to create their own themes, then there must be a way to create our own "Theme" with our own live wallpaper on both the home and lock screens?

I found you have to download "Space Galaxy Live Wallpaper", open it, Select the "Start Wallpaper" button and voila! There is your entire list of live wallpapers you love. I have already contacted Samsung and they are aware of their lack of thought, but the rest of you need to also so the hirry up and update!

Nope, ... this is not the solution for a live Lock Screen Wall Paper....
But Thanks for trying.
Despite there is no way to set the lock-screen with live wallpaper...
but You can use this third party app to bring all installed livewallpapers to select for your homescreen...
Live Wallpaper Picker
Some live wallpaper apps have no shortcuts, This is what I used to set them for my homescreen...
