I have a wallpaper that's designed to be looked at in a landscape orientation, which I'm fine with it showing on it's side during portrait mode, but when I move my phone to landscape, it moves the wallpaper adding black bars to the side, essentially ruining the wallpaper.
Can I make my wallpaper static, regardless of screen orientation?
EDIT: Added screenshots, for hopefully more clear intentions..
Is your wallpaper scrollable?

It looks like you're issue is that the wallpaper is not rotating, or am I missing something?

Well, no, it is rotating - I'd like to see it static, remaining as it is in portrait mode, when I flip to landscape.. I want the dock icons and status bar, persistent search bar, etc, all to keep acting as they normally do (shown in the screenshot above), but the wallpaper to remain as shown in portrait, regardless of screen orientation..
If I flip it 270 degrees, then it'll appear upside down, which I'm also fine with (corrective behavior to hold it the right way lol)

Yarr.. you edited your post after I quoted it lol
It is scrollable, but I only have one home screen/page, and one set of paged dock icons, so it wouldn't matter..
It has to do with the size of the picture being used. If you have more than one screen a picture that is oversize and scrollable won't have those black bars.

I don't think you understand what my end goal is..
What I want is the way the wallpaper is in the portrait picture in the first post, to be static, regardless of which way I hold the device and which orientation it is. The wallpaper shouldn't move, or rotate with the device..
No, I understand what your end goal is, but static orientation is a live wallpaper thing. It is coded into the wallpaper. None of the main launchers offer it as an option. And I doubt any of the ROMs do. So the two obvious options were converting it to a live wall paper or some photoshop, hence my question.
Luckily, someone created an app that treats static wallpapers as live wallpapers and thus can force them into a static orientation.

Like title says, was wondering how to make the wallpaper scroll with the home screens like it used to in stock Ginger Sense.
I've tried looking through Personalize and Display and Gallery settings, and can't find anything related to making the wallpaper scroll like it used to.
So when i go to set a wallpaper, it just makes me resize an image to be very skinny and tall.
Thanks in advance!

Sense 3 uses a static background image because of the endless scroll carousel feature of the launcher. This allows the launcher to be scrolled in one direction for an infinite number of loops.

Hmm interesting to know. Thanks though!

The only reason I can see they didnt do it is when you look at LP is kinda lags when you go back to the other side. It would do that on sense too but with the carousel spinning it might crash it or be way to laggy to be appealing.

Its all good man no prob. Its hard to find files that size though. Or even ones that will go down to it.
Sense 3 correct sizing wallpaper app
Hiya!
For correct sizing I use an app called AutoResize Wallpaper. Its brilliant! It allows you to set your full pic as the wallpaper. No more cropping for sense 3. To apply just choose a pic from your gallery, press 'share‘ button then Autoresize wallpaper and it does it all itself. Its free from the market too
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

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 like to select a picture as my wallpaper, but setting it as a wallpaper it zooms in unnecessarily. Has anyone seen this? it is happening on my wife's phone as well.
I am wondering if this is an issue with Touch Wiz, the Gallery, or something else. I have tried it on ALL the launchers and that hasn't helped. I have also tried to lock the wallpaper scrolling, and setting it as vertical and horizontal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You may need to resize the picture to use it properly as a wallpaper

Wt do you mean? I have always been able to take the picture from the gallery an set as wall paper. the phone scaled it properly. This phone it seems like it thinks the screen is bigger than it is. I guess I could try and scale it my self....
Look for wallpaper wizardrii in the market. Its free. Use it to set your wallpaper. Select stretch to portrait.
What is everyone using to set lock screen wallpaper? I use the.stock wallpaper chooser but it like zooms into the picture and its really blurry and not even sharp. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I use a lot of custom HD wallpapers I make from scratch using pretty much any photo editing program. If you make a wallpaper that's exactly the dimensions of your phones native resolution, there is no zooming-in or distortions. However, I don't always do this, and I'm usually generally okay with the results.
What is the resolutions for the note 2 lock screen? And for the home screen??? I'm running jelly thunder so I have a scrolling wallpaper on home screen... I guess I can use Photoshop and make wallpapers if I known the exact resolutions...

Dimensions for a wallpaper image should be 720x1280 (width, height) to avoid any cropping.
Is there a way to make the home screen display one wallpaper in portrait orientation, and a different one in landscape?
Not that I know of. I don't think this is possible... or very efficient, since it'd constantly have to switch it when orientation changes.
I think the kii keyboard was able to do it, with backgrounds specific to the orientation of the keyboard
