Resize it to correct resolution you need, which likely differs by how you have your wallpaper set up. ie. infinite scroll, no scroll etc.
Paint.net, GIMP, Photoshop, whatever. Not sure what app can do this on the phone itself though but I'm sure if you look you'll figure it out.

Problem is I generally set from gallery and irrespective of the Res. Of the wallpaper it always crops.
Am I missing something ? How do you set wallpapers??

Get this
Check out "Wallpaper Wizardrii" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardriI
And when you choose set, choose scale, it will set the entire image as your wallpaper
Haven found a way to do it otherwise unless image is already the exact resolution needed. This app is easy to use tho, and there are MANY others like it, check some out
If I find a way to do it from stock, gallery I'll let you know, but I dint think it's possible without cropping. Maybe try quick pic as you gallery? I think that has, ability to resize to specific resolution and set image as wallpaper but I haven't used in a while, quick pic is a great gallery app

Works no problem at all on my gnex
I JUST downloaded and used it again.
You have you screen res changed?
If you have your resolution changed that greatly affects many apps "compatibility" issues in play store

Yeah. mine is set to 280 Dpi... It affects play store app compatibility ?

What is the 'exact resolution' so that no cropping is needed? 1280x720?

FINALLY!! Touch-auto-exposure in Jelly Bean camera!!

For the longest time most Android camera apps are incapable of auto adjusting exposure to suit the touch-focus area, a feature that's found in HTC Sense camera and iOS camera. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I just realized that this feature has finally been added to Jelly Beam on GNexus!! For this feature alone I'll stick with Jelly Bean instead of AOKP ICS.
Just wanted to share this as I thought some might find it useful.
Cheers.

Edit: I'm really surprised by how many people have absolutely no idea what touch-exposure is. The keywords are highlighted in red above. If you still have no idea what it does, borrow an iPhone from your friend, try touch-focus a few different areas with different brightness levels within the same view, you'll know what I'm talking about. Sadly most people don't even know what they are missing out....

This is awesome if true!

You do aokp will start working on jb as soon as the source comes out....

Of course, but until then, this makes it easy for me to choose between AOKP ICS & JB.

another feature I miss in camera is the pause button while recording video, unfortunately this as not been added

How'd you realize the finally implemented it?

im running JB but how do I use it? is it just an auto function?

I think it's automatic... uh "touch-auto-exposure" is in the name. Wherever you touch on the screen automatically applies the correct exposure.

You can also take pictures while recording video, just tap on screen.

I'm always baffled why Google didn't implement this earlier. iOS and HTC Sense have had it for a while.
And guess what, even Galaxy S3 still does NOT have this feature..

better known as touch to focus :silly:

I'm confused. What exactly are we talking about? Does touch-to-focus do something it didn't do before? And autofocus doesn't do it?

I think Touch to Focus was absent in AOSP until JB. I used it today without realizing it is a new feature, works exactly as it should.

Full screen camera.

I HATE the stock ICS camera apk.
Almost half of the screen is waisted by the gray rectangle.
However, the HTC camera apk features full screen. And It has alot of useful features.
Is there an all that has full screen pictures while taking video and pictures THAT WORKS and has a wide range of features. I have checked the play store but there isn't any app that is as responsive as the stock camera. I have found one app that offers full screen but it's ehh.
Has anyone found a great alternative???

Looks nice. I'll try it out.
But I still wish it can have the full screen pictures and videos. I feel like I bought a bad phone every time I see dad's HTC phone camera APK turn on.

NVM!!!
It's perfect!!!
THANKS!!!

Great it worked for u. That just for pics no video. Question how u get snapshots of screen

What do u mean how???
I'm using the Galaxy Nexus. i515.
If u got ICS 4.x.x then u have to HOLD LOCK and VOLUME DOWN together at the same time.
Then wait for a flash and done.
If u are below 4.x.x then this can be done and u'll need an alternative way.

Just because the viewing area is bigger on one camera doesnt mean that the pictures turn out any bigger.
For example...
Stock Camera...
Camera Zoom FX
Camera FV-5
Shot Control
BTW, can anyone guess what size the different cartridges are?

Interesting... You think you phone is crap because the image preview on the camera (just one app) doesn't take up the whole screen? You know what they stay, 'Its not the size that counts. Its the how you use it.'
Of all the camera apps i have i prefer Shot Control. It has a lot of features and is quite a bit of customization. It takes better pics than the rest of them yet has the smallest preview screen.
I think you are focusing too much on the aesthetics of the app.

Oh u no what I meant by that if I just think about It for a min.

Did you say almost half the screen is wasted by the grey rectangle? That looks more like 1/3 or 1/4.

[Q] Why is there no preview of pictures in the 4.2 camera app

Hey, installed 4.2 on the GN and love it so far. I also love the new camera interface, but hate, hate how I can't preview the pictures immediately after I take them any more?
Is that normal? Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks dude. Another question, I recently copied all my photos from my other phone into the DCIM>Camera folder, but when I view them all in the gallery, they are not sorted by date like they were in my old phone?
I'm assuming it goes by file name or something, but is there a way to change that?

Brilliant Backgrounds for N4 (1536 x 1280)

First, I take no credit for creating these beautiful backgrounds (that belongs to the photographers / cgi wizards / illustrators).
Originally I cropped all the wallpapers but in retrospect they only needed to be re-sized.
I've taken down the cropped images and uploaded the best ones uncropped. I would recommend
deleting the cropped images and getting these instead.
Thumbnail links go directly to full 1536 x 1280 image.
Click thumb, image opens in a new tab, long press to save, set wallpaper from gallery.
Enjoy..........

Thanks!!

Edit, never mind

Awh man. On the XDA app when I click save on the thumbnail its extremely low res

Oops, forgot to mention that. When downloading from phone, click thumb, new tab opens with image, long press to save, then it'll be in gallery.
I saw you got it but this could help someone else.
Thanks
Edit: Added 11 more backgrounds.

It's still in low resolution

If you tap the thumbnail you want, it should open a new tab with the image. Then if you long press that image, you can save it.

If you're rooted & using adfree, maybe that affects the download. I'm not sure why it's not working.
Oh well, you could always download on pc and transfer. They're all high quality and worth the trouble.
I just added 13 more so I hope you're able to get them.

I'm looking for the wallpaper from the AOSPA 4.2.2. ROM. Do you have it? Can you post it?

This works for me. Does the gallery crop these? It kinda looks like it when I try to set it as my wallpaper...

Edited original post and deleted all the cropped background images.
They look better un-cropped so I picked the best ones and only
re-sized them. I recommend deleting the cropped images and
getting these instead.

Added ten more.
