how the hell do u use one of the pictures from ur gallery as a background without having to crop it first?

Can't..unless you find it online then if your browser allows you to you can tap and hold it to see if it says set as desktop background

What does this have to do with cropping a background?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I tried uploading pics to places like zedge so I could use my own pics as backgrounds without them being cropped and all stretched out but I couldn't get them to upload.

cuz if i remember correctly, there is an app that allows you to use your gallery pics as backgrounds without having to crop. "all wallpapers". but some apps don't allow you to just download any file

[Q] How To add pictures to the "Wallpaper Gallery" menu

Does anyone know to add pictures to the "Wallpaper Gallery menu"???? I use the stock ROM rooted which only comes with only about 4 or 5 wallpapers embedded into the Wallpaper Gallery menu however I decompiled the TwWallpaperChooser.apk and found there's waaaay more wallpapers than what the OS actually allows us to choose from... In the end I would like to have all the wallpapers shown under the Wallpaper Gallery menu. Can anyone help with this? Anyone??
Try posting this in the right section.....Q and A.

Messaging themes

I know within the stock Samsung messaging app you can change the text bubbles and the background. My question today is...it's it possible to use custom message bubbles and background?
If so where's would I have to place those files for them to be usable within the app?
Thanks

I do not believe this is possible as of right now. I have not seen any other threads indicating it's possible. I too would like to see this happen though.

How do you remove the bubbles all together? Looks like my kids phone.

Wow do I actually get to contribute something for once?? LoL I'm so used to absorbing all the knowledge here being the noob I am.
Aside from what the others recommended, I haven't seen any easy ways to add custom bubbles but I did recently notice that you can easily change the background to a custom picture.
If you go into your messaging settings and choose to change the background, there's an option to add your own picture whether it be from your gallery or directly from your camera. The one and only downside is that you're limited to one custom background at a time... if you change it, your new choice will overwrite the old. No big, tho.
I remember looking for this option back on ICS but never found it so I'm assuming it was added with the JB update.
(I'm running on rooted stock ROM, btw.)

I did this for my GS2 because I love blue and gray together. I am using an mms.apk from a rom in the dev section right now, but this weekend I'll try to work on theming the stock mms.apk with different colors. I'll upload when/if I get time this weekend.

If you have root, you can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en
I've used it to change my signal icon and it worked.
I use Icon Changer and Desktop Visualiser...
Icon changer actually makes an icon for the app with your chosen pic (so you can move it to the dock). It'll let you change the name, as well as a few other settings like rounding corners and contrast and whatnot.
Desktop Visualiser is a widget. You can use it to make any size icons you want, with custom pics and names. There is a demo video in the play store you can watch to show you how to use it and the other features it and it's addons have.
Hope that helps

Changing wallpaper on lockscreen

Is there a way to change the wall paper on the lock screen? I like to use the normal lockscreen but when I try and change it to a picture that I have it only will allow me to change it to the default pictures the phone comes with. Please help, I can't figure it out. It gets me to where I can select my own picture but it won't change when I check the lock screen.

When you go into application manager, click settings to reset preference.....I use quick pic and I forgot I set that as my default. Be sure to crop in and set wallpaper using gallery.
