wallpaper quality - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a strange problem when setting the wallpaper.
I have this picture postimg.org/image/3umjabsi5/ on my sd card. If i try to set it as wallpaper this is what I get: postimg.org/image/3xtc6dcux/
But if I upload this picture on some storage site and then I set it as wallpaper from my browser (next browser) I get a much better result: postimg.org/image/bpa24xh09/ The image looks just like on my monitor.
Where is the problem? I'd like to set the wallpaper from my sd card and get the right quality.
i9195, stock rom, rooted, GT-I9195 Kernel v1
LE: me again...
It's all about the image viewer.
The image viewer of ES File Explorer is not as good as the file explorer. I'm still using ES but now I changed the default image viewer for the Camera Snap Gallery(the stock samsung gallery is just as good). Everything is fine now.

The stock editor is good enough. Just have a picture at least 1080x960px.

Wallpaper question...

Is there a way to add/change wallpapers to the wallpaper gallery when you press menu and wallpaper from the home screen? sorry if this is a dumb question ive been tryin to figure it out and can't...thanks.
Pretty sure they're system files man.
Use the app Wallpaper Set and Save to set full quality wallpapers from your SD card (with none of that crappy jpg compression).

oh ok....thanks man.
when I put wallpapers on my SD card in bmp or png format I don't see any compression artifacts at all with the default "set as wallpaper" feature, as opposed to jpg files.

Animated Gifs? What Are You Using As A Default App?

Open as video doesn't work, the default image viewer opens the GIF as an image ..
Anything out there which can be set as default GIF player ?

It does but it can't (not that I can see) be set to play a gif by default so that the app plays the gif when the gif is clicked.
So no gifs on the nexus 7 ?

Fast image viewer.

Used it for a while now on both mobile phone & tablet.
Has a decent file browser as well that remembers your last viewed folder so keep all those gif files together.
Also has animated thumbnail gallery.

Yeah, I checked that one out too. Still doesn't fit the criteria on the question which is:
Is there an app which can be set to open automatically an animated GIF?
I'm bumping this because I'm curious as well. It would really improve the web browsing experience. It seems like a glaring omission from the browser.

setting full picture as wallpaper

trying to do this via pics in gallery but it always ask me to crop them, think i need to put them where the wallpapers are stored but not sure where this is , not rooted so any easy way to do this or am i just being a bit thick
You can drag the box when selecting the wallpaper. If it's a landscape photo though, you're out of luck. You could use just about anything to add black bars to the top of a landscape image to make it fill the screen if you really wanted.

[Q] Wallpaper cropping 4.3

I only use the one homescreen, How can i get the cropping tool to select the part of the picture i want instead of being limited by the multi screen cropping? Hard to explain, but so far i have tried Quikpic, 4.3 Gallery, Lenovo Super Gallery, Wallpaper set and save, wallpapyrus, ICS gallery, 3D Gallery and so far none will let me crop a picture so it fits 1 Homescreen

Setting wallpaper changes colour of wallpaper?

OK, check out the attached images. The first is the actual image, the second is the image as viewed in Google photos, the third is the image when set as wallpaper and the fourth is my Google photos.
Why would this colour change happen??
Latest Cataclysm with latest elemental kernel all stock settings.
I've only noticed it happening on this particular image.
When you download from Google Photos, what is the file extension of the downloaded wallpaper?

It hasn't uploaded to photos yet. I just downloaded from here file extension is .jpg
looks like you have some form of filter or display color driver changing the color. I am not noticing anything on mine, The image is a standard jpg in RGB mode so there's no problem with the image, try editing the image (hue) saving it and then using the saved image as your wallpaper. use pixlr for editing, or any will do.
