Wallpaper Size/Wallpaper Scaling Issue - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

noticed that some wallpapers scale in a weird way when in landscape. is there a right size to not have it scale (zoom in) when on landscape? seems like a hit and miss for me. some scale in a weird way and some do not.
tried setting wallpapers from the gallery, from wallpaper apps, and from google "wallpapers" app and i cant have it behave consistently.
also just noticed with the stock Pie OTA that the text under the icons are cut off when in landscape. dont remember if it used to do that in Oreo but I just noticed it now.

[Q] Slow Screen Orientation Rotation?

Running a non-rooted G2.
Anyone else notice sluggish screen rotation when going from landscape to portrait or vice versa? It seems like it takes over 1s to switch, closer to 1.5s I would say just trying to count out loud.
The only running apps I have besides the stock ones are Tasker, LauncherPro Plus, Beautiful Widgets (1 large widget on homescreen), BattStat, and SwiftKey.
Any way to adjust the speed at which the screen switches orientation?
Thanks
LP+ does have its moments where it slows down. Original launcher is nicee enough no need to replace it
I've noticed a couple glitches related to this now that I've rooted. It's slow, then it shows the icons and even on screen keyboard in smashed or stretched pixels before it changes orientation. Just for a split second but it's annoying and never did it before.
Yeah, I don't know why the automatic screen rotation is so slow with LauncherPro.
My solution for now was to disable the auto rotate under LauncherPro's Behavior Settings.
The G2 switches instantly to landscape mode for you once you slide out the physical keyboard. No lag this way, but you don't get it to change orientation unless you slide out the keyboard.
I've noticed this too! I thought I was the only one. The funny thing is that when you're in a program that needs the accelerometer there is no lag, but on homescreen there is that slight delay when rotating from portrait to landscape.
I've had this issue with SF, corrected by setting desktop scrolling speed to 0 on ADW launcher setting.
Not sure if this will work on your device.

stop photos set as wallpaper from stretching across all home screens

Ok so I have ADWLauncher and I've disabled wallpaper scrolling (I HATE WPS) and I can not find a simple method of using a photo as my desktop wallpaper that does not end up with the photo stretched across my home screens (I even killed all the extra home screens).
I've read all about the appropriate size for wallpapers (ex: 960x800) and re-sizing my image then expanding the canvas size, etc... but nothing seems to work. Anyone out there have any suggestions?
the only method i have gotten to work is resizing the picture and then expanding canvas. it can be a little tricky depending on how many screens youhave set. I personally only use 2 so i had the picture at (960x400) and then put it on a canvas of 960x800 this way when it stretched it was exactly right for 1 screen. doing this and turning off scrolling wall paper and it worked
Even when I remove all screens except the primary one it still "acts" as if there are more. What size should I use (for canvas) if I use 3 screens?
It should always be 960x800 regardless of the number of desktops. More desktops just scroll to the side less each swipe (under normal circumstances).

[Q] How to set wallpaper to portrait mode only.

I installed ViperDHD (not sure if that's relevant or not) and it's working perfect, absolutely no complaints. There's only 1 minor annoyance and I'm sure its user error but.. I can't figure out how to set my wallpaper to portrait mode only. It currently tries to set all my wallpapers to work in both portrait and landscape which prevents me from getting the wallpaper I want. How can I get my phone to show only the portrait box when adding a wallpaper? I've never ran into this problem on any other rom. Is it a limitation of Sense 4? Or am I missing something extremely simple? Thanks!
Go to play store and download an app called picspeed wallpapers. Use that app to set your wallpapers don't use the stock, it sucks. You don't need to use their wallpaper but you can use the app to set your wallpaper from your gallery.

That solved it! Thanks!

How can I prevent wallpaper rotation on Tab S4 while leaving screen rotation on?

I have Tab S4 (US unlocked) running stock ROM and unrooted. I've noticed a very annoying issue with Wallpapers.
if the screen rotation is left turned on, the wallpaper also rotates. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
The issue that if we set the wallpaper in portrait mode that looks great, rotating it to landscape the wallpaper becomes pixelated and vice-versa..
Thanks.
I've had this problem too. my solution was to install nova launcher then go to settings-look and feel-screen orientation. From there you select force portrait or landscape. Hope this helps.
Now if only I can find a good wallpaper app besides zedge

Diy, Home screen Wallpaper does not show randomly on phone unlock.

I made some wallpapers from anime characters as jpeg 1080x2340 and set them as my Home Screen.
My problems is when unlocking up my phone, maybe 1 out of 20 times the wallpaper does not show only the theme wallpaper, If i lock my phone and unlock my wallpaper is instantly back.
I have tried different theme`s and wallpapers and rebooted a number to times but the problem remains.
Is anybody else have this problem.
edit: also sometimes the wallpapers even screenshots from the phone look magnified 4x when set as wallpaper and then i have to load a new theme and then load the image again to get them to show at the correct size.
Thanks
John.
edit: there is a free windows program called "Image Cropper" you can as it says crop an area out of a larger photo, The aspect ratio for RNP8 is 6 x 13 then set the save resolution to 1080x2340, use the highest quality image you can find, There is also one for android called CropImage, select custom and set to 6x13 aspect.

When you select the option to set a wallpaper from the home screen there are various icons.
Perhaps you have to de-select the double arrow in the wallpaper preview window? When it's on it expands the wallpaper or something.
Compass.
Looks like with the Theme app, you can save your current theme including modification, So i have saved my theme with my wallpaper and them re-loaded it, Hopefully this might have fixed my problem but only time will tell.
EDIT: 5 day`s and my problem is still fixed
EDIT 2: My problems is back
EDIT 3: I have used the "ChaoMe Theme Editor" on the Play Store to edit a theme and add my own wallpaper, It seems to be working so far,
