I use a lot of custom HD wallpapers I make from scratch using pretty much any photo editing program. If you make a wallpaper that's exactly the dimensions of your phones native resolution, there is no zooming-in or distortions. However, I don't always do this, and I'm usually generally okay with the results.
What is the resolutions for the note 2 lock screen? And for the home screen??? I'm running jelly thunder so I have a scrolling wallpaper on home screen... I guess I can use Photoshop and make wallpapers if I known the exact resolutions...

Dimensions for a wallpaper image should be 720x1280 (width, height) to avoid any cropping.

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.

I've been trying to find a good wallpaper instead of the ones provided with no luck. The thing is after the wallpaper being cropped, the resolution will degrade so much.
Is there any special apps or web for installing good wallpaper?
Thanks

Wallbase is pretty sweet, so is stumblr. If you use wallpaper wazardi to set wallpapers all is awesome, as you can portrait or scroll with it.

You can try "Auto resize/Dbd Wallpaper Set" from the market.
Any picture can be set as a full screen wallpaper (without crop or black bars).

I used Tablet Wallpapers a little bit, it's troublesome in the way that it pushes ads through notifications (or it did a couple weeks ago, I'm not going back to that).
Not an app, but the website www.interfacelift.com has wonderful photos that can be used in high res and cropped as you like.
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.
All the wallpapers i find are horizontal and have to end up cropping them. Any1 know a goos site where they have 1280x720 VERTICAL wallpapers? Thanks.

well then you'd want 720x1280, https://www.google.com/search?sclie...=1680&bih=925&wrapid=tljp134315960855632&oq=w
but if you're using typical wallpaper scrolling like we've all been using the past few years, you actually want 1440x1280.
Thanks

There doesn't seem to be that many good 720x1280 wallpapers around. I've just been cropping down regular wallpapers, when ur looking, just think about where u will crop it to look good. I will be getting some nice very high def ones to crop soon, most regular ones from zedge and other programs seem a bit fuzzy, they're probably not 1280 tall. In fact even the 1080p walpapers from my desktop would have the same effect.

I have a wallpaper that's designed to be looked at in a landscape orientation, which I'm fine with it showing on it's side during portrait mode, but when I move my phone to landscape, it moves the wallpaper adding black bars to the side, essentially ruining the wallpaper.
Can I make my wallpaper static, regardless of screen orientation?
EDIT: Added screenshots, for hopefully more clear intentions..
Is your wallpaper scrollable?

It looks like you're issue is that the wallpaper is not rotating, or am I missing something?

Well, no, it is rotating - I'd like to see it static, remaining as it is in portrait mode, when I flip to landscape.. I want the dock icons and status bar, persistent search bar, etc, all to keep acting as they normally do (shown in the screenshot above), but the wallpaper to remain as shown in portrait, regardless of screen orientation..
If I flip it 270 degrees, then it'll appear upside down, which I'm also fine with (corrective behavior to hold it the right way lol)

Yarr.. you edited your post after I quoted it lol
It is scrollable, but I only have one home screen/page, and one set of paged dock icons, so it wouldn't matter..
It has to do with the size of the picture being used. If you have more than one screen a picture that is oversize and scrollable won't have those black bars.

I don't think you understand what my end goal is..
What I want is the way the wallpaper is in the portrait picture in the first post, to be static, regardless of which way I hold the device and which orientation it is. The wallpaper shouldn't move, or rotate with the device..
No, I understand what your end goal is, but static orientation is a live wallpaper thing. It is coded into the wallpaper. None of the main launchers offer it as an option. And I doubt any of the ROMs do. So the two obvious options were converting it to a live wall paper or some photoshop, hence my question.
Luckily, someone created an app that treats static wallpapers as live wallpapers and thus can force them into a static orientation.
