[Q] How to set HQ Wallpaper? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to set up a HQ Wallpaper ?
i've been searching n the forums and just found one thread somewhere but no good answer for it.
if i want to set a wallpaper from my gallery , the DHD crops the Photo/Picture and i get a part of my desired wallpaper as background (yeah even when the wallpaper has been resized to match the resolution on the dhd that damn thing still wants to crop -> very blurred , not even close to sharp picture)
tried wallpaper set and go from the android market -> failure
tried flikie from the market -> failure
is ist even possible to have good images as wallpapers (except for the included stock ones and live wallpapers) ?
any help would be appreciated

Make sure you original Image is 480x800
Go Market and get "Crop Wallpaper" App.
The App allows you to choose the image as "Wide" or "As Is in its resolution.
Cheers

Works Perfect thanks a lot

One wallpaper per desktop or No scrolling wallpaper

Yo!
Can I set diffrent, one, wallpeper for each desktops or one wallpaper for all desktop, without 'scrolling wallpaper'?
PS. I using CyanogenMod 4.2.1
I have not seen any way to do that, I think the code is written using the wallpaper spread out and then using the num of windows split between it but a single reference to the background
Hope I'm wrong but thats what it seems to me.
I google something interesing "You can set 320x480 wallpaper by app 'Wallpeper Set & Save', free from market, after it, it will be not scrollable.". So I can set one wallpaper, not scrollable.
Oh ok, I'll give that a try, I'm kind of interested in how it would work too.
Thanks!
i use an app called wallpaper plus you can set either one image for all the walls without the wallpaper moving or group each wallpaper to a diff wall if you like.

Non sliding, non cropped wallpaper

Is there any way to get a non sliding and non cropped wallpaper for the Galaxy S, manual way or via application ?
Its really bothering me that the wallpapers are cropped and ultra pixelated even if the crop box is set to the largest.. I mean there has to be a way around this aside from using another launcher..

960x800 is the size you need for the best quality background (.PNG). As for a non-sliding background, you have to use a launcher that has that option, LauncherPro would be the way to go (ADW if you prefer, either way).

[Q]GIF as wallpaper?

So, I've seen that LWP aren't exactly "smooth", but that got me thinking.
I don't need interactivity in my wallpapers, I just want them to move
So I tried setting a .gif as a wallpaper, but it doesn't move past the first image.
So the questions is: How can you set a .gif as a wallpaper (so that it moves)
You cant

Are you asking about the wallpaper scrolling between homescreens. If yes, GIF wallpapers also scroll.
And the color quality of GIF will be low.

No he wants moving wallpaper (with animations) but not "live", in other words he wants to put animation as his wp, so it moves, but you cant interact with it.

There was an app that did this. It created an "Empty Livewallpaper" and allowed you to put your animated GIF in it, essentially doing what you are looking for. However, it seems to have been pulled from the market. (Obviously, the reviews were not that good)
It's the closest I can think of. More details here:

well wally was removed from market but i found an app called animGIF livewallpaper 2 but, unfortunately you need live wallpaper support so if your looking not for interactiveness on custom roms but just for the looks of a gif id suggest getting that and getting a live wallpaper compatible rom.

[Q] LauncherPro

I`ve installed LauncherPro plus on stock 2.2.2, but when i change wallpaper it doesn`t look so good, the transition between the collors are too visible, and thats the problem with some widgets (Fancy Widget). I also had this expirience on MIUI, but not on CM7...
Here's the picture ...

i cant see it being launcher pros fault, looks like your phone is running at a lower colour depth for some reason.
I remember having similar issues back on froyo. This occurs when you use the stock 'gallery' app to set wallpapers (which IIRC is what menu -> wallpaper will use). The solution is to use literally anything else to set your wallpaper. Wallpaper Set And Save by Onarres Solutions is a good one for wallpapers you have stored on your phone. For other online wallpaper, I have used Zedge and HD Wallpapers with success.
Or the wallpaper chosen is small in size/resolution which got stress up to fill up the defy screen.

But I don't have this problem on adw launcher, or stock miui, or stigma gingerbread. Only on LP.

Try: Preferences>Advanced Settings> and then enable "High quality scrolling". Maybe this solves your problem
Still the same... :/
Might be the problem I had. When you set the wallpaper, drag the orange box to cover the entire image.

[Q] Zedge wallpaper resolution

I think everybody heard about this problem on Zedge. I had same problem on my i9300. Now i have lg g3 and cant download full wallpaper. Ahen i apply wallpaper on Zedge then is different resolution , doesnt look like on zedge screen. Here is pic which can show what i mean.
Is it possible to have exactly same as look like on Zedge ?
I didnt crop anything. just Zegde set as wallpaper that's it.
1 - turn off wallpaper scrolling
2 - use another launcher.
3 - save the image and dont set it with Zedge!
4 - Open the image in gallery and set it via portrait mode.
CLick thanks!
