[SOLVED][Q] Main Wallpaper is getting distorted - How do I fix it?

Does anyone else experience this problem:

Where the background from a hi-res picture looks like crap after putting it through the wall paper chooser.
It seems to happen to all images (downloaded or taken from the camera), but it doesn't happen to default background images.
It's also cutting off a good portion of the picture. I don't know if this is specifically related to ADW Launcher or if it is related to the entire system.
The lockscreen isn't having as many issues (if any).
I have tried low res pictures, 720p pictures, and 1080p + pictures, and they all seem to have the same thing happen to them. Not sure what would be causing this issue.
Full picture can be found here: http://www.androidwallpapers.eu/wallpapers/picture/nature/1234.html
EDIT: Forgot to tell what version. I am on Stock Odex'ed EL29 with Rouge CWM Repack. This is a clean install.
This happens when selecting other wall paper as well:
Again same thing. I specifically choose a 480x800 wall paper on interface lift, even though it seems to want to serve a 960x800 picture. If I narrow the selection of the orange outline, it just zooms in further so the picture becomes more pixelated and distorted.

Try using the app quickpic from the market. It gives you an option to set wallpaper from there. See if it does the same thing.

Thats really annoying / lame, as I don't remember having this happen in older builds. Thanks for the tip.

Back in the day I used to use an app called Wallpaper Set and Save. It's a little cumbersome to use if you change wallpapers alot but it works well in ensuring no banding or distortion.

Wallpaper wizardrii solves this. Its in the market free. It allows you to set landscape as is etc. I have yet to found a wallpaper it can't handle.
I dl the image and set as my wallpaper for an example.

Unfortunately this issue is occurring again with FE13, and the above suggestions don't seem to be solving the problem.
Anyone have any other idea?

Sorry to bring up an older thread but was this issue ever figured out? It doesn't happen with my home screen wallpaper but rather with my lockscreen.
I adjust the box to the area I want and it won't 'zoom' to that area. It remains the same and basically blows up that area to the screen size when I set it. It looks like hell.

I did resolve it with the Homescreen, but I haven't had the issue with the Lockscreen. I don't know if quickpic can set the lock screen or not.

GET THIS AMAZING APP HERE
Interface
When you launch the app, you get a menu system that lets you choose
one of four options: capture, gallery, collage and share. Diving into each,
the UI is generally what you'd expect. The buttons are self-explanatory,
and you get a regular phone camera-style viewfinder.
Filters
PowerCam offers a decent set of filters, most of which are a bit too over-the-top
for my own taste. You get a standard set of minor filters to lightly tweak the coloring
of the scene that are quite nice, but the rest are a bit out there and I really don't
see many people using them. For the ones that I liked, it seemed to work well enough.
It should also be noted that there is a "no filter" mode for when you have the app open
and want a "regular" shot.
Tilt-Shift
The tilt-shift method, if you're not familiar, is something usually accomplished with
a special camera lens to produce interestingly focused images. The main subject
is sharply in focus, and everything else is quickly out of focus right next to it.
On a smartphone, its all done in post-processing. PowerCam seems to do a pretty
good job, and you can really get some good shots if you spend some time with it.
Panorama
I was surprised by the panorama quality. Using the app on my Galaxy Nexus,
it captured them more consistently and much quicker than the built-in panorama
feature of the Android 4.x camera.
Collages
Something that's going to be very user-dependent is the collage feature.
You can select several pictures you've taken and form them into framed multi-shot pictures.
The UI is friendly enough, just select from your picture list which ones you want,
and it'll arrange them randomly with a frame. You can shuffle the pictures around
and select the frame style, but I was hard-pressed to find frames that I actually enjoyed.
Sharing
PowerCam has built-in sharing functionality to Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.
Wish that it would use a regular sharing menu and let you use other apps (like Google+),
but it doesn't really matter, as you can share from your Gallery app to anything installed
on your phone after the fact.

Face-fusion. - I am unable to find this option?
Live-makeup - This is found in settings. - I however do not see any change?
Photo booth - selet it in modes. (Really lame)
They write that not all features are available on all devices... We however have the topmodel? - What are your thoughts on this camera update?
What I personally like the most the video capture butten in the main camera interface.

i think face tracking and multi chat is in hangouts.. this morning i called my mom via hangouts and there was options for face tracking on the top left (maximus HD 8.0)
Experience a better way to video chat with Face Tracking. Sitting perfectly still is no longer necessary, because all you have to do is stay in frame and Face Tracking will automatically focus in on you.
From real-time screen sharing to video chats with up to 4 people, Face Tracking lets you naturally do your thing without compromising quality.
Compatible with most live video services such as Skype, Line, Hangouts, WeChat, and more.

I figured Eye Experience would be a separate update to the Gallery App in the Play Store. It says coming soon on the website, maybe they didn't roll out the graphical/ui changes yet, regardless of the settings being there or not. Crop Me In is exactly cut and paste with the Duo Camera effects stuff.
EDIT: "The HTC EYE Experience features will roll out to the following models in the coming months" IE not out yet.
Note the UI image of the icons.

Question Unable to change wallpaper after debloat

I recently debloated my new OnePlus 9 Pro. Everything seems to work fine (I did make sure to install replacement apps beforehand). However, today when I wanted to change the wallpaper (with a different "custom" photo), I noticed I can't do this any longer. Tapping on "album" (which is supposed to open a file picker where you browse to find a photo you want to use as a wallpaper) doesn't do anything:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I tap on the second icon shown above (Inventive wallpapers), it still works and opens to this, as usual:
Here if I tap the second icon at the bottom, it will open the gallery app (I use the one from Simple Mobile Tools), where I can pick the photo. (However, I don't really want an "inventive" wallpaper.)
I suppose this second one uses the correct function to call whatever gallery app is set up as the default. And the first one probably wants something else - I suppose either stock Google Photos or Files apps, which I removed. Any idea how to solve this without having to install those two back?

Found the culprit: While de-bloating, I also removed com.oneplus.gallery which is the stock OnePlus Photos (because I figured Simple Gallery Pro from Simple Mobile Tools would replace the need for that as well).
So my assumption was right - the first icon calls directly this stock app, whereas the icon on the second screen finds the one gallery which is installed, or offers the choice to pick one, in case there are more installed.
