What happened to crop wallpaper in KitKat? Now it is impossible to center a wallpaper when setting it? Why did Google change this?

You could use pinch to zoom when setting a wallpaper, same thing as crop.

Yes, but it is impossible to center an image. Try setting something symmetrical, see how difficult it is to get it perfectly centered on your home page.
I agree but I don't find it that big of a deal. But yeah they removed the ruler/grid lines.
Better like that... Download a hd picture and set it.
No forced zooming like before...

Hello,
What is the resolution/dimensions of sliding wallpapper? ( similar to default wallpapper that you find on a new Galaxy s) because I want to make custom sliding wallpappers.
And what is the extension/type of the picture? and in which folder I should put it?
And What I should do different if I want to do non-sliding (Fixed) wallpapper.
Thank you.
would also like to know this?

I made a custom one meyself last night and it's a million times better than using the crop tool in Gallery.
For a none slide use launcherpro, it has a setting that stops the wallpaper slide if you want that, its in the preferences/appearance settings.
Thanks for the info, I would rather a non-sliding wallpaper.
Is there no way to make it a different picture for each of the 7 screens?

I thought of making a Live Wallpaper that did this (or just displayed a static image that didn't scroll) and fiddled with the SDK last night. Only problem is I suck at Java. If I could use Visual Basic I could have done it in about 10 minutes.
Maybe someone more competent at Android developing could take this idea and make it a reality.

Thanks everyone, but I tried 960 X 800 and used Gallary to set it like sliding wallpapper but it forced me to chose a part from the picture and I could not chose the whole picture.

I have searched and searched for a solution but my best find was this app:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-creativecore-wallpaperplus-jmit.aspx
haven't tried it yet.
i think it will not work with touchwiz, but might work with launcher pro

Thank you.
I found out that my mistake was making the longer dimension vertical while it should be horizontal. So the rotation of the picture for 90 degrees gave me the ability to select the whole picture as sliding wallpaper.
But what if I want to make non-sliding wallpaper that fit to the screen completely, what is the resolution for that?
um isn't it 480 by 800?
Because of the moving of the image when sliding to different homescreens it needs to be slightly wider, hence the 960x800 resolution.
slightly? thats twice the width lol
what file type do you think would be better?

480x800 is the actual resolution of the screen, while the sliding wallpaper is doubling the width so that the wallpaper won't stretch and display the at native resolution when you slide through the home screens.
When you got some image with high resolution (higher than 960x800), selecting that high resolution image and crop to fit by the wallpaper selector, it will corp and resize the image for you on the fly but it doesn't look sharp as those TouchWiz and Launcher Pro wallpaper which is resized and optimized the sharpness on 960x800, I'm going to crop and resize my favorie wallpaper on a desktop imaging tool.

I've made a couple of backgrounds in ps that were 960x800 resolution and then put them on my phone. Whenever I got to change the wallpaper, it has me select the file and then I have to crop the image. I'm aware that I can drag it out to make the crop zone large but it still only selects I would say 3/5 of the image. I've tried several different times over several different images and I cannot make it any larger. I'm using launcher pro if this has anything to do with it. Are you sure the resolution is 960 wide by 800 tall? Other than that, what am I doing wrong?
Would deleting all but 1 home screen make the wallpaper full-size/non-sliding?

It's what I use and is fine for both stock and launcher pro. When I chose the wallpaper the crop rectangle stretched to the wallpaper perfectly.
Hi. I tried 1280 x 1280 whoch I convert using samsung kies and the crop box fits 100 % and the wallpaper is perfect.
Hope this helps.

Quick question,
I went over the themes section and downloaded a football logo to save as my wallpaper. Well I always have this problem where I would like for the whole picture to be my wallpaper instead of a zoomed in blurred piece of it. I downloaded the Colts logo and you're forced to crop the stupid thing and i get a worthless part of the horseshoe. Is there a way to make it so that it doesn't crop every single image?
Stretch the frame within the picture...tried that?
SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
still crops it funny
Somebody was asking this earlier, never have any issues stretching the frame to get the full picture..?
SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
There's always a wallpaper app in the market that will set you wallpaper perfect if you're having issues..
It's called Wallpaper Set & Save I think.
When I was on fresh's rom, or any sense one for that matter, it seemed like when you cropped it, the picture was resized to fit the screen and still had great quality. With cm6, even if stretching the full frame, it zooms in on the picture and gives you a crappy blurred looking wallpaper.

Yes you say is true, but my problem is not resolved.
When I'm Crop, the image will zoom. And image quality decreases.
I want to have a picture, I put the original size.
Please help
Not true, the picture quality will not go down. It will just take 960x800 form your picture if you select the maximum area. If you don't stretch the selection area to the maximum the quality will go down.

That picture is just to small, if you want a picture without quality loss it needs to be at least 960x800.

Im not sure if ive understood the question correctly but if I have you can download a home launcher like LauncherPro and set it not to scroll your wallpaper when you slide homescreens, based on that crop and edit your wallpaper accordingly.

Ive just looked at the picture, your basically trying to resize it (enlarge it) and so the picture becomes distorted. If you can find a larger version of the picture using a website like Tineye, i found you this one and CROP it, dont resize it so you can avoid distortion.

Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but I loaded several 720 x 1280 images onto my phone and set them as wallpapers on my home screen. I noticed that the image is not as sharp as when I view them in the gallery. I made sure it's not zoomed or anything, just that certain details in the picture are not as sharp until I click on the gallery app and view it in the gallery. Anyone notice this? or am I just being too nit-picky?
I was about to post the same thing. Not just the wallpaper, the icons are not sharp too. Somebody suggested to use a custom launcher but i like TW launcher

Yeah, I'm already using Nova Launcher, and still having same problem ... anyone can help us with this?
Lol, the default system for setting wallpaper in Android is crap. It decreases quality drastically.
And Nova has wallpaper cropping issue, so it will be more worse than TW.
Solution: Use Wallpaper Wizardii to set wallpapers.

Cheers for the advice on the app mate working great
I had the same issue with my Motorola Xoom. I used the app 'Multi picture live wallpaper' which solved my problem. I imagine I'll be using the same app when I get my phone tomorrow.
