When editing a screen shot the image reduces in size , meaning it doesn't remain full screen for the editing . Is there a way to keep the image full framed in the screen and also edit?
The Samsung devices behave in the same way when editing screen shots, however they have an option called smart capture that keeps the screenshot maximized. Cheers

I've searched and searched but I cant find it. I looking for the Incredible 2's droid eye to use as a wallpaper. Not the one that it boots up with, but rather this one: http://phandroid.com/2011/04/07/htc-incredible-2-bears-its-droid-eye-in-leaked-renders/
if anyone has it and could upload it, thanks!
I put this together from a few frames of the loading animation, it's not exact but it's close. Download the zip, when I uploaded the file as a PNG by itslef, it's automatically converted to a jpeg.
Thank you so much!!
edit: how do I make it my wallpaper as is? It s making me crop the image down for wallpaper use, even though its the same exact resulotion as the screen
Sorry, here it is the same aspect ratio as the scrollable screen. it'll still have you crop it, but just expand the crop area to the full size of the image and you should be good.

But the box is limited to the aspect ratio of the total scrollable area of the "desktop". The first image was 800 tall by 480 wide, so it would limit the crop box to the width. The new image is the same aspect as the crop box so it can be expanded to cover the entire image.
Try the app wallpaper set and save. You find the folder in the directory inside the app, and it will save the image as it, no cropping. I understand what your talking about too because that stupid thing would always drive me up a wall, and I think its because the wallpaper scrolls between Home screens, whatever. The app will also disable scrolling so its set as is for every homescreen

I recently got an Epic 4G Touch. I created some custom wallpapers and sized them to 480x800 to match the screen's resolution. The wallpaper has a single object (the HAL 9000 eye) which is a circle.
When I use the wallpaper as the lock screen, the eye is distorted slightly so that it's no longer a circle.
The gallery displays the image properly and the selection screen for the lock screen also displays it correctly.
I think I can compensate for this by resizing the image slightly, but I don't know how many pixels to remove from the image. I think the status bar might be a good starting point, but I don't know how many vertical pixels it uses.
Thoughts?

Because of wallpaper scrolling, you need 800x960 wallpaper. In other words, double the horizontal dimension to allow for scrolling...
My wallpaper doesn't scroll anymore, I'm not sure why.

I tried creating an 800x960 wallpaper using the same eye image and it didn't work. I used GIMP to create a black background image and then inserted the eye image as a new layer. The 480x800 images I created were done with the same method.
The 800x960 wallpaper is still distorted. So the problem is that the aspect ratio of the lock screen is not quite 480x800 or any multiple of those dimensions.
Through some experimentation, I think that changing the vertical dimension to something less than 800 seems to work. For example, I took my original 480x800 image and cropped 30 pixels off to make an image of 480x770. I then resized the image back to 480x800 while ignoring the aspect ratio. This results in a distorted eye, but the distortion is in the opposite direction. (The 480x800 wallpaper is distorted in the horizontal dimension. The 480x770 resized image is distorted in the vertical dimension.)
The 480x770 image is slightly less distorted so I think this might be the way to go. Short of guessing the right dimensions, I was hoping for a way to determine the best dimensions to use.
To help anyone else reading this thread, I'm attaching the wallpapers I've created. Feel free to download them and try them out.

I think I read somewhere here that the latest Samsung stock update disabled the scrolling wallpaper.
home screen or lock screen?
Lock screen does not scroll.
For home screen you need 800x960 image or you may need to adjust your original 800x480 image to 400x480 and double the pixel size.
To scroll the home screen wallpaper, you need to change the option to make it scroll.

I'm working on the lock screen. With most wallpapers, the difference in the aspect ratio is likely not noticeable. I just happen to see it because my lock screen image has only one component and it's very easy to see when it's distorted.

This really sucks. I also miss the bounce effect on the browser/when you reach the end of a menu. Was it due to the Apple lawsuit?
I'm not sure if this has been covered before, i've had a good search and it brings up no similar questions so thought it was time to ask..
Whenever i save a new image from the net and transfer it to my DHD with the idea of saving it as my homescreen wallpaper, or try and open it in either Quickpic, or ES File Explorer, i always get the resize box to crop the image to fit... But i don't want to crop it, i just want it to look on the home screen as it does on the preview screen that it's showing me, but obviously without the white outline crop box.. If i try and crop as little as possible, to try and save most of the image, it just zooms up huge and is pointless..
Can this be done?? Have i overlooked some settings? Does it have to be a certain pixel size in order for it not to crop?? I have some nice images but would like to see it all on the screen, not just half of it..
It needs to be same aspect ratio. Then you can remove cropping area by enlarging selection.

This is an small app that lets you crop an image freely when trying to set the wallpaper or lock screen background.
In the Jelly Bean stock and stock-based ROMs, is not possible to properly set the home and lock screen wallpapers, due to a nice new feature of keeping the crop box aspect fixed to a square, but the area to be cropped is a smaller rectangle.
When trying to set the lock screen wallpaper with a portrait image, the always squared crop box touches the lateral borders of the image, forcing you to select a much smaller area -possibly scaling the picture-, and thus leaving us in a less than optimal situation, unhappy with our powerful pocket computer that could do much better with such a trivial task.
This lazily done app comes as an option when you try to set a wallpaper, and just calls the stock Gallery app with a crop action without the aspectX and aspectY parameters that lock the aspect of the crop box.
Note: This app needs the stock Gallery or Note 2 Gallery.
UPDATE:
2013/16/22 [v1.51]
- Fixed character encoding error in image paths.
- Other minor fixes.
2013/06/09 [v1.5]
- Prevents hiding part of wallpaper behind status bar.
- Lock screen wallpaper can be cropped to any size.
- Can work with AOSP's Gallery.
- Launcher icon with settings for some of the above features.
- Fixed screen rotation bugs.
If wallpaper scrolling is enabled, it's better to select an squared area or wider, or else you will see black bars to the sides or a scaled image. This version lets you choose what happens in that case.
2013/05/06
- Works with Quickpic.
- Better lockscreen wallpaper size (checks status bar height).
- Home screen wallpaper maximum width is 960; minimum is 800.
- Checks if lockscreen wallpaper is writable. If not, S2 Gallery handles it.
2013/05/05
- Handles all lock screen wallpaper process. Works on Note 2 Gallery.
MAY NEED ROOT. This works by saving the image directly to the Gallery data folder.
- Lock screen crop box is fixed to match the screen.
- No lateral black bars in home screen.
- Signed. You must uninstall the previous version before trying to install this one.
- Kick ass icon.
2013/04/23
- Processes and sets Home wallpaper to prevent zooming.
- Checks whether the Gallery activity exists.
Tested with the Gallery Note 2 and seems to be doing OK. However, when setting lock screen, the cropping rectangle has locked aspect, but still it lets you crop any image properly.
Please point any fault you find, I'll try to find time to work on them. And all suggestions are welcome.
Works great. Cheers.

I'm sorry, I have only tested this in Neat Rom. It must work on WanamLite as well. The app requires the stock gallery apk (SecGallery2.apk, package name com.sec.android.gallery3d). I'll make it check for some possible errors.
I m using Note2gallery and this app is not working
Handy.....thanks

There's still some problems: Sometimes the lock screen BG will be stretched, and the home screen will be zoomed if you try to select an area close to the sides of the image. But mostly works great for the lock screen.

I made some updates. Hope it's fixed for those who where having problems.
I update to the Android One UI. Screen capture is now missing the color dropper (color picker). Also, when it saves drawings, the lines are saved VERY PIXELATED.
Any help?

for me it's still there.( color dropper )
I'm on android 10 ,April security patch and Samsung updated ,One UI 2.1
If i use Spen option to screen shot it shows under screenshot image
If it's a swipe type screen shot,
it shows under the bottom option icons ,next to the scroll icon/edit icon
Otherwise only option left is to factory reset ..to hopefully fix issue !
Good luck
