Help with wallpaper - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My evo will not change my background and always reverts back to a red ribbon wallpaper but live wallpapers work. So my problem is that I cannot change my background because it reverts back to another wallpaper and my question is how do I change it.
I know that menu and wallpaper changes it normaly though

Try a different wall paper some have openGL issue with sense and don't stick. I'm assuming you downloaded it from the market

I meant the static wallpapers

have you tried a reboot if that don't work I don't know sorry maybe find the red stripe wall paper and delet it would work.

how are you trying to change the background... i tried with astro fille manager and so far its been a no go, but if you hit up the gallery in apps, find pic then hit menu button, you have an option to set as....
this is how i've been going about changing my wallpapers that are having those issues.

from any home screen just hit menu>wallpapers
you can pick where you want to get it (live, wallpapers, or gallery) from there
pick it, be done with it

I have the same problem, however I set the wallpaper it will sooner or later revert back to the same original one as in the first post... when I have a problem to actually set the wallpaper a restart will solve it but then it will randomly revert to the same wallpaper again. It happens on a daily basis except when I use the live wallpaper, even with a wallpaper rotation.

had this issue to resolve it simply restart your phone

[Q] static evo wallpaper single screen

Hello,
I am using launcher pro and have my disable wallpaper scrolling checked.
I would like to have wallpapers that just fit inside the one home screen and don't get mutilated by my phone when I set them.
I have tried GIMP to resize the image, but then I get a box to chose a portion of the image.
When I set it, the image gets enlarged to fill the whole screen.
I know, it is probably me... anybody have any words of wisdom?
Thanks,
Chris
Unfortunately I dont think this can be done (easily). I do the same (no scrolling) and always have to get big wallpapers to fit the whole widescreen even though I'm only using the one home screen. You can use multi screen wallpaper from the market. Its a live wallpaper that lets you choose images for each screen and it does it in the correct format (480x800)...
Swyped from my HTC Evo 4G on the MetroPCS 1X network!
This is a really wierd way to do it but I have found it effective. I would like it if there was an easier way.
I use the launcher from the Incdoes Acer Liquid E port.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811440
The launcher apk is in there somewhere.
Basically what I do is when either sense or launcher pro is up I hit the home button and select the acer "home" and there the wallpaper is fixed. Then I hit home again and select as default either sense or launcher pro and it is fixed. From there you can change your wallpaper and it wont scroll. Hopefully if you download it you can see what I am talking about. It will work until you restart the phone. Then you have to do it again.
Thanks... This is what I find kind of annoying about the phone.
You should be able to have a wallpaper centered, with a boarder around it.... without having the phone/OS forcing it to fill the whole screen and making it blurry.
Thanks to all..
Cheers,
Chris

Wallpaper

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.

home screen wallpaper zoomed in?

When I set my wallpaper and go back to the home screen, the wallpaper appears to be zoomed in and only shows the center portion very big. Lock screen is proper size, sometimes.
SOLUTION: For those of you having this problem, I found the workaround for it. Use Home Switcher and switch to Touchwiz, go to home screen and set wallpaper, it should appear the proper size now, go back to Home Switcher and switch to whatever launcher you choose and the wallpaper should stick.
OP edited with workaround
Wallpaper wizardrii app can also help, fits any wallpaper size to your home screen.

Using the workaround that I posted in the first post solved the issue for me without the need of any external apps.

I uninstalled the home switcher and most of the other stock apps and replaced them with the ones I use so that app is great for me and those like me.

This problem will show up again later. Is there a way to permanently fix it?

SNIPER is right QUickPic worked for me
Still, it is silly how they designed the home screen wallpaper settings. There is no reason why we can not set a picture to fit the screen by default stock out of the box. It is amazing how something so simple can be such a pain.
This is my biggest gripe about an android.

No more forced cropping on wallpapers

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?

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

[Q] Live Wallpapers and custom Roms

I am needing help setting live wallpapers on my lockscreen. I am running Jedi-x 16 Rom with Perseus-alpha35 kernel. Prior to installing the custom Rom everything worked fine. This is what happens: I long press on the screen, select "Set Wallpaper" then "Home and Lockscreen" then click on Live Wallpapers, then I get a message stating "TouchWiz Home has stopped." If I try setting it via Settings I get the message that "Settings has stopped." Now if I only chose to set a live wallpaper on my homescreen, it works fine and I am able to do so.
I have tried numerous times to remove LiveWallpapersPicker and reinstall different versions by using Root Explorer, moving the apk file to /system/app, changing the permissions rwx-r-r and rebooting.
Has anyone else ran into similar situations with custom Roms or have any advice for finding a solution?
Maybe try setting just for home screen possibly might fix your problem!!
Not too sure if you, can run a LW on the lockscreen!!
If I'm wrong then someone can correct me on that comment!!
I don't use live wallpapers because they use to much battery anyway! :what:

What I would like to happen is have the LW set for both the lockscreen and homescreen. It is currently set for the home screen. Live wallpapers can be set on the lockscreen. Prior to installing this Rom and kernel I had one set.

Oh ok. Well what might be stopping it from your response. Sounds like it's the kernel causing it not to work like it was B4!
