on GB, i could use an app like wallpaper set and save to keep the native resolution of images on my home screen instead of the images being cropped and zoomed in for scrolling. anyone know a work around for this?
on the lockscreen it will keep it zoomed out at native res. but not on the homescreen.
I remember this issue on HTC sense, but cannot figure out how to fix it on ICS.
There's a free app called "QuickPic" in the market, a replacement gallery that allows you to select an image and will retain res for home screen wallpaper on ics. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en

So you open Quickpic, long press the picture you want to set as wallpaper, and select set as Quickpic wallpaper, crop and then save?

Disable wallpaper scrolling in your launcher.

Well shoot you're right, looks like you'd need a third party launcher to disable it..

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.

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
Has anyone experienced the phenomenon shown in the two images below?
- My phone is unlocked and rooted.
- I am running LiquidSmooth v1.35
- I am also running Franco Milestone 3 kernel
It seems wallpapers will not behave correctly when my phone is in landscape mode. Anybody have some ideas?
I have tried "Wallpaper Wizardrii" which hasn't worked. This happens with both the stock launcher and the Apex launcher.
what is the resolution of the wallpaper?
That particular one is 1280x800. I set the wallpaper, just now, using the gallery "set as" function but while in landscape mode and it has eliminated the black bands on either side. However the transition from portrait to landscape is ugly (the wallpaper jumps around a bit before settling).
I don't remember it being like this in the past. If anyone has any fixes, they would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I thought the last thing I did fixed it... but a few rotations later it was back to misaligned.
Same thing happens here on stock rom rooted using apex.

Unfortunately wizard or quickpic didn't work for me either.
Edit;
I was going to suggest maybe its some kind of resolution issue but this happens even using the stock provided wall papers and built in wall paper wall paper picker app.

I hate the new ICS wallpaper implementation. Especially, because I always turn off the "Scrolling Wallpaper" option. And I always have to crop my wallpapers to make them fit my screen :X
So this is ICS bug not launcher?

I'm pretty certain that landscape mode isn't supported by the stock ICS launcher, is it?

I dont think it does.
OP, i do not have this issue.
at the time of reading this, i had a wallpaper set to not scroll, and i enabled horizontal lock screen. i had the issue you were talking about.
once i enabled scrolling wallpaper, and reset the wallpaper (same one) i had full screen wallpaper on the hoizontal lock screen.
seems to be an issue with scrolling wallpapers, which also isn't an option to disable on the stock launcher.

Yeah your right forgot about that. Still though, I'm sure older versions of apex displayed the wall paper right in landscape, only since the recent betas it started playing up.

I'm pretty sure the stock launcher supports landscape mode. It happens when you choose Settings > Display > Auto-rotate screen.
Update: I just switched back the the stock launcher and it does auto-rotate AND has the glitch.

Stock rom stock launcher won't auto rotate for me. I'm sure the stock launcher actually supports it but stock rom doesn't and requires tablet mode or something for it to be landscape. I'm sure this is why people started switching to 3rd party launchers to use landscape mode.
Are you on stock rom?

Use a custom launcher like go launcher.

I've actually tried that but it doesn't give you the option of using your own pictures (the full picture) from your gallery, instead you either have to use the default wallpaper that comes with that launcher or you have to crop your pictures (portrait mode) and use that. Is there something i missed that allows you to use the entire picture as your wallpaper? Thanks

I read somewhere that Samsung had to take it out of their stock builds due to some patent claimed by Apple lol. Typical.

I read that as well, but I also read that Samsung was offered a license to those patents but Samsung rejected them! So we're stuck with static wallpapers on stock Samsung builds from now on I guess Unless we use a workaround of course haha
Touchwiz gets on my nerves. Is there a way to pan (shift) the wallpaper?
Im a hair away from go launcher.
Panning works on live wallpapers for stock touchwiz

Download that for example. It pans left and right.
