When I try to change my wallpaper and lock screen, using Gallery, with a High Res image, the wall paper looks compressed and very low res. The cropping even doesn't match the crop lines I set, its a much smaller area. Has anyone else noticed this and found a solution?
The lockscreen looks fine though and is as clear as I expect.
Seriously no one else is bugged by this? Is there another app that works well to change wallpaper?

Found an app to solve the problem, called "Image 2 Wallpaper" on the play store.
Very cool app. Nice find. Thanks!

Do you know how I can fix this problem on the lock screen as well?
Thanks,

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 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.
hello everyone, I am having a very annoying issue with my wallpapers that i'm trying to set. whenever i set them. it will not let me set the entire wallpaper as my wallpaper. I HAVE to crop it down and it just makes my wallpaper's look like ****. I've tried re sizing them and looked all over the net for them but all the 960x800 one's i get do the same thing.
any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm on cm9a4 if that helps at all. thanks!

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence here, just trying to cover all of the bases....
When setting a wallpaper, are you touching and dragging the orange lines to make the box bigger?

If you want the wallpaper to fit perfectly you need an image that is 480x800. Then the entire image will fit the screen.

So this widget has been quite hard to handle. First i wanted the screen captures that won't show up. I finally figure out a way for that so i don't have anymore of those black background pics. But now some captures are ugly or wrong, and I'd like to change the pic, update or refresh it. Anyone know how?
Would be great if someone knows how to rearrange the bookmarks also.

Hi
How did you get the screen captures to show up instead of black backgrounds?
Grts,
I am noticing the wallpaper degrades quality when you set them for home screen. I used to have the same on my S2, then I found Wallpaper Wizardii and setting a wallpaper via it fixed the problem in S2, but not in this phone.
Just see this photo and set it as wallpaper and then see it in gallery, look closely, I think you'll understand what I'm saying.

I could be wrong but the height of the image you are trying to use is incorrect. Plus I'm sure that when you view an image in the gallery it scales so you can view the image in it's entirety vs when you set a wallpaper it does not do the same.

It doesn't. Also , Galaxy S2's res is 800x480 , and the Note 2's is 1280x720 which is considerably bigger, so the same wallpapers will look ugly. Try some HD wallpapers from wallbase.cc , they all look awesome.

Actually I haven't used this wall on S2. And yes,I know Note 2's screen resolution. And that wallpaper is way over HD in resolution.
What I meant is the same looks awesome inside gallery but when I set it as wall it degrades. It was a known bug in Android afaik, that's why applications like Wallpaper Wizardii came out but as I said WW isn't working as it worked on the S2.

try this one instead of WW:

Just make sure you adjust the settings to force a still image as your wallpaper.
Image 2 Wallpaper is the way to go to fix this. Great app.

It's indeed a great app but didn't work for this wallpaper.
Anyway, I'll keep it, but I wonder if it uses same method as WW.
