So I'm having "Wallpaper" issues.
I select the image from my gallary and I have the option to either
a) make it span multiple windows/frames or
b) I can select the portrait image and its stays the same on screens (or its supposed to).
When I select option "b" it also ask if I want to make that my lockscreen image too and I say yes.
When I go back to my home screen the wallpaper is enlarged/zoomed in and I can't get it to set correctly. However my lockscreen wallpaper looks perfect like its supposed to. Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix this?
Edit
After some more playing around im finding its launcherpro causing the issue. Funny though when i use that on my sensation it doesn't have that problem. Any suggestions?
Had a similar issue. Search the market for an app called dodol, it's pretty easy to figure out from there.

Look for wallpaper wizardrii in the market. It solved a few wallpaper issues for me.
The application I want to talk about is PicSpeed Wallpapers.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcnNkZXYud2FsbHBhcGVycyJd
A promising application which offers pretty good wallpapers, in my opinion. However it is more than a simple wallpaper application... Not special in a sense where it gives you super exam cheating skills (which I so desperately need right now)... but it gives you MUCH better cropping for your wallpapers in the Gallery app .
So how do you use it and how much better is it? Well to use it start by getting a Wallpaper. So once you got that on your phone go ahead and open up the Gallery. Find and tap on the image. Now hit the menu button and select "Set picture as" (on ICS) or whatever you need to click to set a wallpaper. You will notice a pop-up comes up. The normal options would be contact photo and wallpaper (and maybe whatever else you have), but now we are introduced with the option of "Set as Wallpaper" - with the PicSpeed icon beside it. So tap it (of coarse). Underneath the image will be three images. The first (left) crops the image to use just the middle (based on dimensions) and is not a scrollable Wallpaper. The second (middle) gives you the traditional full-use of the wallpaper in a scrollable state. The one that is most interesting is the last (right) option. This one offers a custom crop. Which means you can make the wallpaper scrollable or not and perfectly set the crop to whatever you want. So once you use the right custom option go ahead and hit the set option underneath it to the far right.
I think that is amazing finally a way to break the terrible cropping options the Gallery gave us. At first when PicSpeed released an earlier version the wallpaper would auto resize and mess up the image. They have updated the app since then and I no longer have to re-set the wallpaper on boot. Another bug I noticed is I cannot set a Wallpaper 'properly' with the traditional set wallpaper function my phone offers me, after I use PicSpeed to set a "custom" crop. This is easily fixable. Go into Gallery and the set the wallpaper with PicSpeed (again) with the Wallpaper with the traditional (middle) option. Or you can just reboot your phone, either way works.
Well yeah I just wanted to share this new amazing application with you all . You're welcome all! No more terrible cropping options YAAAAY!

Simpler way
I found that the Galaxy app in the S3 only crops to portrait too. Simplest way I found was to extract the Galaxy2.apk from a Nexus and install it on the S3 (or replace it entirely) and us it to set the background. You then get the portrait and landscape cropping so you can then have a decent scrollable home screen wallpaper.

You have to install a different launcher to make the scrollable background work.
May you share that galaxy2.apk please?
Thanks !

I use wallpaper changer to change my wallpaper, doesn't crop and allows for scrollable wallpapers without needing to change anything.
Set wallpaper with Zedge app works great No cropping.

Dawnload ics gallery and you are finished
I dont know if this thread is still active, but I have been running into issues lately with pic speed. I have used it for a while (on my original vibrant) but now im getting issues. Im trying set an image as my background and crop it. Works fine. Crops for me I get it smack dab center and everything is nice. I turn on the scroll function because I just want the static image. Spits out the image and my wallpaper is great, but as soon as I turn the phone into landscape mode, regardless if im in an app or not the image gets distorted and its annoying as balls. Can anyone help me out?
No one know about this app

I don't really know if that's possible, as far as I know it's not.
But I've yet to try, so someone here might prove me wrong

1. choose a live wallpaper for both home and lock screen.
2. go to gallery and choose a plain wallpaper and set it for only homescreen.
sent from: designed for humans
It's not working it saying it will be also the photo for the Lockscreen
I don't that is possible maybe with a special app?
Title says it all. Cannot change my lock screen to anything but one of the stock wallpapers (there are maybe five of those...the dandelion, the water, the leaf with water droplets, etc.). I cannot change it to any other image in my phone.
I've tried clearing the Gallery cache and data as suggested in the Note 2 forum where someone else was having this problem. Doesn't work. It's not a big enough deal for me to go flashing roms or anything just to fix it, but I'd like to be able to change this!
I was having same issue... I'm using Quickpic as my gallery.
I had to clear settings to allow me to use the stock gallery to select the wallpaper and edit it.
You didn't mention if you were using stock gallery or not.
Then set Quickpic as default again and no issues.

If you're using the note 2 gallery you have to select the photo you want from the gallery and choose the option of "set picture as" otherwise it will force close.
just confirmed that will work!
Hey guys,
I just wanted to customize my Homescreen, but ssLauncher won't let me place Widgets in the top of the screen..
I thought i just had to find that "Hide Labels" Setting, but it doesn't exist in my version.. Don't know why.
(When tapping at the Samsung-Menu-Key, it shows all available pages/labels with the options on the bottom: "Theme" and "Settings"..but theres nothing like "Hide Labels")
Do you know how to enable that space, so I can place widgets there?
(Because I'm a new member I can't post a ScreenshotLink, but you could try this photo upload)

Use different launcher like apex and nova. They will let you do anything
