Hey guys. Can someone help me out? How do I get wallpapers to fit my screen properly? If I download a wallpaper say from zedge, when I apply it, it always seems like ive blown it up. I want it to fit so I can see the entire wallpaper. Thanks
your looking for something with a 960x800 resolution if u want it to scroll. Otherwise ur standard size for a lockscreen background or wallpaper its 480x800 i hope that helps!
An app called wallpaper wizardrii cured my ills!!

I always get it to work by taking a screenshot then opening the picture in the gallery from the screenshot folder, menu > set as wallpaper and it should be normal size. Im a newb so im not sure if their is an easier way. Hope that helps.
Edit: Disregard. Seems to only work for lockscreen. Sorry.

Like title says, was wondering how to make the wallpaper scroll with the home screens like it used to in stock Ginger Sense.
I've tried looking through Personalize and Display and Gallery settings, and can't find anything related to making the wallpaper scroll like it used to.
So when i go to set a wallpaper, it just makes me resize an image to be very skinny and tall.
Thanks in advance!

Sense 3 uses a static background image because of the endless scroll carousel feature of the launcher. This allows the launcher to be scrolled in one direction for an infinite number of loops.

Which is odd they can't do it, cause launcher pro has scrolling background and working smooth endless scroll

The only reason I can see they didnt do it is when you look at LP is kinda lags when you go back to the other side. It would do that on sense too but with the carousel spinning it might crash it or be way to laggy to be appealing.

Its all good man no prob. Its hard to find files that size though. Or even ones that will go down to it.
Sense 3 correct sizing wallpaper app
Hiya!
For correct sizing I use an app called AutoResize Wallpaper. Its brilliant! It allows you to set your full pic as the wallpaper. No more cropping for sense 3. To apply just choose a pic from your gallery, press 'share‘ button then Autoresize wallpaper and it does it all itself. Its free from the market too
I like to select a picture as my wallpaper, but setting it as a wallpaper it zooms in unnecessarily. Has anyone seen this? it is happening on my wife's phone as well.
I am wondering if this is an issue with Touch Wiz, the Gallery, or something else. I have tried it on ALL the launchers and that hasn't helped. I have also tried to lock the wallpaper scrolling, and setting it as vertical and horizontal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You may need to resize the picture to use it properly as a wallpaper

Wt do you mean? I have always been able to take the picture from the gallery an set as wall paper. the phone scaled it properly. This phone it seems like it thinks the screen is bigger than it is. I guess I could try and scale it my self....
Look for wallpaper wizardrii in the market. Its free. Use it to set your wallpaper. Select stretch to portrait.
hello everyone, I am having a very annoying issue with my wallpapers that i'm trying to set. whenever i set them. it will not let me set the entire wallpaper as my wallpaper. I HAVE to crop it down and it just makes my wallpaper's look like ****. I've tried re sizing them and looked all over the net for them but all the 960x800 one's i get do the same thing.
any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm on cm9a4 if that helps at all. thanks!

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence here, just trying to cover all of the bases....
When setting a wallpaper, are you touching and dragging the orange lines to make the box bigger?

If you want the wallpaper to fit perfectly you need an image that is 480x800. Then the entire image will fit the screen.

What!? They really are 1280x1280??
S3 resolution is 1440x1280? Seems like i have to set wallpaper every time i reboot cause ICS/JB wont let me have vertical wallpapers and if i resize 1280x1280 to SGS resolution: 960x800 the dandelion looks very clumsy but if i only use 1 screen it looks perfect but i have to set it everytime i reboot and its nice with scrollable wallpaper so could anyone make a 960x800 for me? It'd be really nice
S3 screen 1280x720 default
here is dandelion at 960x800
http://db.tt/lt1jeQWy
slightly cropped but looks ok
don't really understand problem with it resting your wallpaper.
try this though

Thanks, the problem is that i want too se the whole green thing under the dandelion and it looks so sharp and original..
Check the screenshot thats how i want it but its not scrollable and vertical. So when i boot up i have to set the wallpaper again cause ics wont let me...
k I think I understand now u want it to look like does in screen shot but be scrollable .
I'm sure wallpaper are only horizontally scrollable
but does it not scroll ???or u want more.of the green in .
confused still

To the left we have the vertical the one that looks 100% fit because its 480x800 and i use 1 screen.
To the right The wallpaper is 1280:1280 and if i use it for my 960x800 screen the dandelion gets bigger and a mini dandelion in the right corner is missing
We maybe cant get it the way i want cause if you resize 960x800 either horizontal or vertical wallpaper will get too stretched out.
I
And i might be too picky..
I mean its not so big difference but i wanted to see if we could make a perfect 960x800
Here try this 1280*800

Thanks so much it's almost perfect the dandelion is little just little bigger but who gives a crap about that and you dont even notice it but i think the wallpapers you linked to me is little bit edited. Could you edit this (wallpaper_01) its the original i took it from KOVDEV SGS3 Walls app on google play. It looks better edit it like you did with the other wallpaper and thanks so much man i wish i could thank you more times on XDA! :victory:
- Short said you edited it perfect for my screen but not the real wallpaper edit the one i attached wallpaper_01. Thanks :smile:
Also check the dandelion_finally i attached there is the difference, thanks! How it was vertical without scrollable on left and your edit on right
k I'll see what I can do
to please but compared to original on my phone looks same but if u want that blue .
could be two blues are going to diff coz remember I think they changed the colour from marble blue to pebble blue . maybe 2 versions of dandelion .

Thanks in advance
Here is your wallpaper
