How do I get a full picture to set as my wallpaper? Whenever I try to use a picture from a different source other than what came on my phone it crops only a part of the picture even when I make the crop expand to its largest I loose alot of my picture. I sent wallpapers to my phone that specifically say they are for the Droid Incredible. I want the whole picture. Is their a way to do this? Thanx.
Images that are best suitable for use as wallpapers on the Incredible, without loosing any to the sides, should be 960x800 pixels or 1.2/1 pixel ratio.
There has got to be a way to set a damn picture as a wallpaper without having to crop it.. I just want a regular pic as the wallpaper. Period. Like I could do 5 years ago with my damn A900 for christs sake!!
Has anybody figured out a root way or adb way or any OTHER way other than downloading aweful apps that crash every other day???????
BTW, I'm running CM6..
Are you pulling the edges of the frame on the picture?

? I don't know what that means so I would say no...

The frame in the pic...expand it?
Usually put the phone in landscape and use the left and right edges to expand. Should work. If that's not what you were saying I apologize.

Pictures has to be cropped, but you can massively expand the crop box.
I was so frustrated with my low-res crop until I discovered that you can expand the crop box to 800 x 480 resolutions.

Yeah no I don't know.. When I choose the pic from the gallery, it comes up, with a crop box, but landscape or portait I can only drag the crop box so big (which is only half the photo) So say I take a pic of my truck.. I cant have the whole picture just like it looks in the gallery.. I can only have some of the picture.. then once cropped and you click "set" it expands it even more... so damn frustrating....
Hmm...never tried it with an actual photo. >.<
Are you taking the pic in landscape mode so you have a wider pic to work with? (<-- silly question, I know >.< x2)
I noticed on my friends phone he had taken a cool pic with in portrait mode, so when he went to set it he could only do so much with it.
Have never had any issues using another pic/wp and using it all.
Could always go with illogic's reasoning as well, below
If your picture was of the correct aspect ratio, you wouldn't have to crop it. The default wallpaper in sense ROMs is 960 x 800. Photoshop the image you want to 6:5 and it'll work.

I've tried downloaded .jpg's and camera pics.. I can't get either to work right.. I tried resizing the pic to 960x800 in photoshop.. save it.. put it back on the sd card, open gallery, choose the pic, crop box still comes up and still can't choose the whole pic within the crop box.. I'm not on a sense rom.. running cm6 final...
This was happening with my mom's Droid X. It was very frusterating. I know what you're talking about. Even though you crop a certain portion (albeit not all of the pic you want but you finally get to apoint where you'll settle) it blows the picture up even more and crops off more of the picture.
I don't know what the problem is yet, but I suggested to my mom to put on a higher resolution photo (she initially copied it from FB) and see what happens.
use wallpaper set and save from the market, it lets you keep the native res on the wallpaper
I just use 3d gallery. No crop

If you used photoshop and created a 960x800 jpg, you should not have any cropping. Again, you are doing it wrong if you still get cropping. With a 960x800 picture, load it into wallpaper and you are given the crop box. long press on any of the sides, then expand to fill the whole picture. I have never had a problem with that.
If you are using pictures taken with the camera on the phone, there will be a small amount of cropping, because those pictures are not the same resolution that the wallpaper is. Especially if you take a landscape picture, you will have to crop a lot out.
Ok I have been looking everywhere and can't seem to find a app that will set the wallpaper as is without cropping or cutting the edges off. I know the best resolution is 960x800 but it still cuts off parts of the picture. I've tried wallpaper set and save and a host of other apps from market and various android freeware sites. None of them seem to set them right, any help would be highly appreciated. I have an HTC evo running cyanogen 6.1 stable and everything is so far so good and I want to thank this website because without it I was lost. This is my number 1 forum so I know ill get the answer, its out their please help me find it. Thanks in advance!!
flikie wallpapers hd is about the best ive seen at this. it still crops but i keeps most of the image quality
Only thing I can think of is to take the photo you want, make the actual photo whatever the screen resolution is (480x800 from what I've read) with black bars on the side to make the entire picture file 960x800. Then use launcher pro to freeze the background so it doesnt move when you swipe. Your picture should be centered.
When you select the image for a wallpaper, you see that little box in the center? Drag outwards on one of its edges.

Thank you all for the speedy replies, I see what your saying. I have my desktop set to have only one screen already, but I went and got launcherpro cause of its features. But yea I downloaded a few pictures before that were 480x800 and it had the black bars on the sides but when I set it, it cuts off the head and feet, 960x800 however does not, it only cuts just a little off the sides. I'm guessing now that the picture is to wide and I wanted to know if I could make a picture keep its height and change its width. I don't know maybe keep the height from the 960x800 setup and the width from the 480x800 setup if that's possible.
My friends, friend has his set up so that when he sets a wallpaper it gives him the option to set as is, to crop, and i think the other one was to cut it. I don't know if its a application or if its the firmware (like cyanogen i mean) he uses, I would ask but he lives very far a few cities over. I have been combing the internet for this app or whatever, and I'm fairly new to android phones, but I got a pretty good history with computers so that definitely helps. But this one seems to be a common problem with a somewhat easy fix. Any ideas?
Are you sure you didn't mix up the 2 sizes lol. 960x800, and not 800x960. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but I've done that before using Photoshop.
Hey, I've found a really nice wallpaper than I want to set, but everytime I try to set it, it keeps asking me to do this weird crop thing, and it always looks zoomed in, I can't just set it as Wallpaper like it is? Spent a while trying to figure it out but no success! Any help? Thanks
its normal for ics. Exactly the same problem happens in honeycomb.
you can use wallpaper wizardri (something like that)
Just stretch the crop boundary to the full image size. Make sure you have the proper resolution to start with for the best quality.
Your WP needs to be 1440x1280.
I'm not sure if this has been covered before, i've had a good search and it brings up no similar questions so thought it was time to ask..
Whenever i save a new image from the net and transfer it to my DHD with the idea of saving it as my homescreen wallpaper, or try and open it in either Quickpic, or ES File Explorer, i always get the resize box to crop the image to fit... But i don't want to crop it, i just want it to look on the home screen as it does on the preview screen that it's showing me, but obviously without the white outline crop box.. If i try and crop as little as possible, to try and save most of the image, it just zooms up huge and is pointless..
Can this be done?? Have i overlooked some settings? Does it have to be a certain pixel size in order for it not to crop?? I have some nice images but would like to see it all on the screen, not just half of it..
It needs to be same aspect ratio. Then you can remove cropping area by enlarging selection.
