[SOLVED][Q] Main Wallpaper is getting distorted - How do I fix it?

Does anyone else experience this problem:

Where the background from a hi-res picture looks like crap after putting it through the wall paper chooser.
It seems to happen to all images (downloaded or taken from the camera), but it doesn't happen to default background images.
It's also cutting off a good portion of the picture. I don't know if this is specifically related to ADW Launcher or if it is related to the entire system.
The lockscreen isn't having as many issues (if any).
I have tried low res pictures, 720p pictures, and 1080p + pictures, and they all seem to have the same thing happen to them. Not sure what would be causing this issue.
Full picture can be found here: http://www.androidwallpapers.eu/wallpapers/picture/nature/1234.html
EDIT: Forgot to tell what version. I am on Stock Odex'ed EL29 with Rouge CWM Repack. This is a clean install.
This happens when selecting other wall paper as well:
Again same thing. I specifically choose a 480x800 wall paper on interface lift, even though it seems to want to serve a 960x800 picture. If I narrow the selection of the orange outline, it just zooms in further so the picture becomes more pixelated and distorted.

Try using the app quickpic from the market. It gives you an option to set wallpaper from there. See if it does the same thing.

Thats really annoying / lame, as I don't remember having this happen in older builds. Thanks for the tip.

Back in the day I used to use an app called Wallpaper Set and Save. It's a little cumbersome to use if you change wallpapers alot but it works well in ensuring no banding or distortion.

Wallpaper wizardrii solves this. Its in the market free. It allows you to set landscape as is etc. I have yet to found a wallpaper it can't handle.
I dl the image and set as my wallpaper for an example.

Unfortunately this issue is occurring again with FE13, and the above suggestions don't seem to be solving the problem.
Anyone have any other idea?

Sorry to bring up an older thread but was this issue ever figured out? It doesn't happen with my home screen wallpaper but rather with my lockscreen.
I adjust the box to the area I want and it won't 'zoom' to that area. It remains the same and basically blows up that area to the screen size when I set it. It looks like hell.

I did resolve it with the Homescreen, but I haven't had the issue with the Lockscreen. I don't know if quickpic can set the lock screen or not.

GET THIS AMAZING APP HERE
Interface
When you launch the app, you get a menu system that lets you choose
one of four options: capture, gallery, collage and share. Diving into each,
the UI is generally what you'd expect. The buttons are self-explanatory,
and you get a regular phone camera-style viewfinder.
Filters
PowerCam offers a decent set of filters, most of which are a bit too over-the-top
for my own taste. You get a standard set of minor filters to lightly tweak the coloring
of the scene that are quite nice, but the rest are a bit out there and I really don't
see many people using them. For the ones that I liked, it seemed to work well enough.
It should also be noted that there is a "no filter" mode for when you have the app open
and want a "regular" shot.
Tilt-Shift
The tilt-shift method, if you're not familiar, is something usually accomplished with
a special camera lens to produce interestingly focused images. The main subject
is sharply in focus, and everything else is quickly out of focus right next to it.
On a smartphone, its all done in post-processing. PowerCam seems to do a pretty
good job, and you can really get some good shots if you spend some time with it.
Panorama
I was surprised by the panorama quality. Using the app on my Galaxy Nexus,
it captured them more consistently and much quicker than the built-in panorama
feature of the Android 4.x camera.
Collages
Something that's going to be very user-dependent is the collage feature.
You can select several pictures you've taken and form them into framed multi-shot pictures.
The UI is friendly enough, just select from your picture list which ones you want,
and it'll arrange them randomly with a frame. You can shuffle the pictures around
and select the frame style, but I was hard-pressed to find frames that I actually enjoyed.
Sharing
PowerCam has built-in sharing functionality to Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.
Wish that it would use a regular sharing menu and let you use other apps (like Google+),
but it doesn't really matter, as you can share from your Gallery app to anything installed
on your phone after the fact.

[WatchFace] moto discharge

Hio,
I´am so excited about this Motorola charging watch face, an I wondered why this very informative and pop-sighted watch face can not be a constant companion of a Android Wear SmartWatch owner.
No sooner said than done - and our go2android Developer Team continued the idea and presentation of Motorola into action. In 3 Google material design colors was the "moto discharge" watch face, which is now indicating exactly the opposite of the Moto 360 charging function - namely the "discharge" and for all Android Wear smart watches that we know.
As a little extra candy, our developer team has also implemented the well-known animation from the original arc!
If you look on your smart watch and the display turns on, the battery-level-arc runs from zero up to the current charge level, animated with weakening speed.

Cool

Play Store link not found. Would be awesome if you could post the apk here on XDA.

I agree it does not work ....

Better not be charging money for this app. And a "design" team was used for this? Something that would take about 5 minutes and 2 LUA script lines of code to do?
Some of the stuff I see on here lately for watch faces is getting ridiculous. If you want to see some master code work and watch faces there are 3 guys named Lon Lawrence, JC Dalisay and Bramante Perkasa. The later two just reproduced this $2.6 million dollar Patek Philippe watch in detail and exact functionality.

Now that is what you call amazing work.

Pls share new link for download.

Step counter doesnt seem to work

Hi,
You need to take the Google Fit in order to have the step count.
If Everything all right, when you select the "Daily step counter" indicator for a widget for the first time, it should display a popup to associate an account and to ask for authorization. If you select correctly an account and accept the authorisation request, it should work. If you did not, select an other indicator for the widget, and then go back to the "Daily step counter" indicator. It should display the popups again.
Did you have the Google Fit application installed on your mobile ? If yes, you can try to launch it and see if the application does have your steps in history. If not, try it
