Hi...
Guys, I'm farely confident that I may have messed up something. Its easy to apply a wallpaper. You go to the gallery and select a wallpaper that you would like to assign. (Tap the left side button and say set as...). Then you have options like Contact Photo, Home Screen, Lock Screen & Both...
Now there is something new like wallpaper & WhatsApp profile.
If I select wallpaper a stupid screen opens and it is ridiculous. I have made my own wallpapers and I have something wrong with it.
Guys please help me...
I dont think you have messed up anything...they are just the options when you use set as:
For example contact photo,whatsapp profile etc...
To set a wallpaper for home screen,just select homescreen...for lock screen select lockscreen..etc..
To set the photo as whatsapp wallpaper...select whatsapp...
The screen you have given is a cropping screen that is used to set the photo acc. to note's display.
Ajinkya... Thanks for the revert.
The problem is previously when I would select to set as wallpaper it would let me, however now it directly goes to this cropping screen. I want it to go back to the image where it would allow me to zoom in or out and then set the entire image as a wallpaper.
All the walls that I use are custom made to the screen resolution of 720 x 1280.
Please help me to reset the wallpaper function to default. I cannot find a way to go back...
Please Help.
Guys, please help as I have tried everything but still it doesn't work.
There are so many Guru's here. Please someone help me out.

It is a default on 4.3 I guess.

From what i understand,you want to set your full image on a single screen,i.e do not want to use a part of it.Am I right??
Well by default it isn't possible,but there are third part apps that would let you do so.
One of them is:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&hl=en
After install go to gallery,select set as for an image->select wallpaper wizardrii->select set->preview->select stretch portrait->Done.
Hope this helps.

My problem is resolved. I'm Glad...

My evo will not change my background and always reverts back to a red ribbon wallpaper but live wallpapers work. So my problem is that I cannot change my background because it reverts back to another wallpaper and my question is how do I change it.
I know that menu and wallpaper changes it normaly though

Try a different wall paper some have openGL issue with sense and don't stick. I'm assuming you downloaded it from the market
I meant the static wallpapers

have you tried a reboot if that don't work I don't know sorry maybe find the red stripe wall paper and delet it would work.
how are you trying to change the background... i tried with astro fille manager and so far its been a no go, but if you hit up the gallery in apps, find pic then hit menu button, you have an option to set as....
this is how i've been going about changing my wallpapers that are having those issues.
from any home screen just hit menu>wallpapers
you can pick where you want to get it (live, wallpapers, or gallery) from there
pick it, be done with it

I have the same problem, however I set the wallpaper it will sooner or later revert back to the same original one as in the first post... when I have a problem to actually set the wallpaper a restart will solve it but then it will randomly revert to the same wallpaper again. It happens on a daily basis except when I use the live wallpaper, even with a wallpaper rotation.
Using Sprint EVO G4 - 2.1
had this issue to resolve it simply restart your phone
*This was posted from my Evo 4G*
Hello,
I am using launcher pro and have my disable wallpaper scrolling checked.
I would like to have wallpapers that just fit inside the one home screen and don't get mutilated by my phone when I set them.
I have tried GIMP to resize the image, but then I get a box to chose a portion of the image.
When I set it, the image gets enlarged to fill the whole screen.
I know, it is probably me... anybody have any words of wisdom?
Thanks,
Chris
Unfortunately I dont think this can be done (easily). I do the same (no scrolling) and always have to get big wallpapers to fit the whole widescreen even though I'm only using the one home screen. You can use multi screen wallpaper from the market. Its a live wallpaper that lets you choose images for each screen and it does it in the correct format (480x800)...
Swyped from my HTC Evo 4G on the MetroPCS 1X network!
This is a really wierd way to do it but I have found it effective. I would like it if there was an easier way.
I use the launcher from the Incdoes Acer Liquid E port.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811440
The launcher apk is in there somewhere.
Basically what I do is when either sense or launcher pro is up I hit the home button and select the acer "home" and there the wallpaper is fixed. Then I hit home again and select as default either sense or launcher pro and it is fixed. From there you can change your wallpaper and it wont scroll. Hopefully if you download it you can see what I am talking about. It will work until you restart the phone. Then you have to do it again.
Thanks... This is what I find kind of annoying about the phone.
You should be able to have a wallpaper centered, with a boarder around it.... without having the phone/OS forcing it to fill the whole screen and making it blurry.
Thanks to all..
Cheers,
Chris
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?

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 am trying to get some wallpapers to fit, when i view them they look good for the screen, but when i set them as wallpapers they get realy messed up.
I tryed alot now including apps that should resize them to fit etc.
the wallpapers i try to use is from here:
http://s700.photobucket.com/albums/ww2/aandrew1967/walls/#!cpZZ10QQtppZZ36
Only ones i get to work are the wide ones that are very rare.

Hope someone can help!

I think I know what you're talking about. It's a problem with the way ICS and JB handle wallpapers.
I found that using wallpaper wizardrii or multipicture live wallpaper will do the trick.

I tested crop wallpaper from play store, and selected the part i wanted to use as wallpaper, clicked set wallpaper and the picture is still stretched out and don`t look like how i selected to crop it.
Something is messing up the pics by stretching them.
Also tested the first mentioned app and that one dosen`t work eighter.
Any more ideas i can try ?
Wallpaper Wizardrii is what you need. Press 'Set' and choose 'Crop Portrait'.
if all your looking to do is set a static wallpaper and not have it scroll with screen swipe then you can only enable this on a third party launcher. Sense has a permanent wallpaper scroll and thats why it stretches those pics for you. I recommend apex where you can set static non scroll option.
Alternatively, as mentioned by first reply here, multi picture live wallpaper will also do the trick so long as you set the source folder to contain the ONE wallpaper of choice because sense forces the wallpaper to change automatically to another on screen swipe. If you only have one in the selected source folder, it should just swipe to the same paper of your choice. I may be wrong.

Sorry that was also a no go..
Must be something that stopping me to crop the pictures, could be some function in my ROM or ST(suite Tools)
Not sure how i should solve this, maby reflash without Suite tools.
I also use apex launcher with wallpaper option set to fixed when I want my wallpaper not to scroll

I think I played too much with apps that changed lock screen photo cause now Im stuck with one and cant change it. I purged the gallery data which effected in changing the wallpaper onto default one (the kid with the balloons on the meadow) but still not much I can do. My phone is rooted. I didnt use QuickPic or any other apps to view my pics, only the Stock one. Any ideas?

There is a bug on 4.2.2 that you cannot change the lockscreen wallpaper if you have the Ripple effect. Other than that I have no clue, maybe a senior person can guide you!

Go to gallery and choose any pic of choice and set it as home+lock wallpaper.
It will change the lock wallpaper too.

Good to know that You dont take people as idiots. No I didnt try that. c'mon :/
Ive got rooted phone. Just made hard reset, cleaned cache as well... problem still exists :/
I am able to change the wallpaper for animated one (as long as I pick home and lock screens together), but then when I change it to normal one it goes straight to the default.
Can anyone tell me where is the default one kept? Im gonna delete it (or move it) and see what happens.
Im on rooted stocked system android 4.4.2 and I have the same bug with being unable to change the lock screen while on unlocking the screen with ripple effect :/ bummer
