How do I get a full picture to set as my wallpaper? Whenever I try to use a picture from a different source other than what came on my phone it crops only a part of the picture even when I make the crop expand to its largest I loose alot of my picture. I sent wallpapers to my phone that specifically say they are for the Droid Incredible. I want the whole picture. Is their a way to do this? Thanx.
Images that are best suitable for use as wallpapers on the Incredible, without loosing any to the sides, should be 960x800 pixels or 1.2/1 pixel ratio.
Is there any way to set up a full image as a wallpaper?
What I mean is, every time I set up a wallpaper I have to go to the "cropping" (the little green square used to select the part of the image desired) process so that the image will fit the resolution.
I wanna know if there is a way to use a full photo like if it was a default wallpaper without cropping it.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks for the support.
Im afraid not You would have better luck with a custom launcher or maybe editing the image on PC/MAC first.

Use Wallpaper Wizardrii..find it on Google Play and thank me later..
Quickpic from Play store works very well for me...
Open the desired image in Gallery, open the image normally via gallery app, click anywhere on image, and select the option in more to set as Quickpic wallpaper....

As long as your wallpaper is the correct size (1440 x 1280) you should be just fine.

i read that you have to use a photo editor and make the picture 1440x1280 in size im gonna try it out my self and let you know
just took a picture from a backgroud of a rom the size in that is 960x854
To take into account the scrolling wallpaper, you need the following size wallpapers:
One X: 1440 x 1280 - HD
Atrix: 1080 x 960 qHD
Desire: 960 x 800 or 960 x 854 WVGA
Thank you for that info. Very useful.

When i am changing my wallpaper trough Personalize/wallpaper/HTC Wallpapers then it puts the image as a wallpaper without cropping it. But when i want to choose an image from the gallery ( 1440x1280 ) then it asks me to crop it. And when i try to set the same image that was not cropped previously, directly from the gallery, it asks me to crop it . I was wondering if there was a way around this without using other apps to do it.

If you expand the box out all the way, it should give you the WHOLE wallpaper over the screens. It's just asking if you want to choose part or all of the picture.

I thought the same actually, but i tried with the stock wallpaper, the one that was on the phone when i got it, and when it crops it. Not a big deal because there are apps that can be used to go around it. It's just weird that we are not able to have the same picture full size as a wallpaper trough the gallery.
Wallpaper Set & Save free in Google Play Store is a good one. I've been using it for years, ever since the old versions of sense where the quality of the image used to be badly reduced if you set the wallpaper and cropped it through the phone's settings. WSS retains the full image quality and doesn't crop.
Really useful. Thanks!

I was wondering if there is a launcher that preserves the size and aspect ratio of icons and widgets when you go from portrait to landscape.
I used to love how my Nokia N900 could do this. Basically you would arrange where your apps/widgets were on the screen separately in
portrait and next in landscape. Then instead of your typical rotating transition from portrait to landscape, where often the widgets become
distorted, the screen image would flip about an axis so it appeared as if the apps/widgets for landscape and portrait were on opposite sides of a plane that made
up the screen. Not sure who originally came up with this idea but developers for maemo os Incorporated
this for N900 after Nokia dropped support for the device...
I am developing an application that contains stock wallpapers of almost all Android smartphones brands.
The problem is that i can't deal with the resolution of images. Let's take an example: i have an image with dimensions 1920x1280
I know that the best image resolution for an Android home screen wallpaper is 2x of screen width (for example width of s2 is 480x2=960px) and exactly same height (for example s2 height is 800px) so the right wallpaper size for galaxy s2 (with screen resolution 480x800px) will be 960x800px. But on the market there are plenty of smartphones as well as different screen resolutions.
I am asking if is there any "universal" resolution (i know that this does not exist but at least approximately) for the wallpaper so that to fit on most of screen resolutions ? If there is not this means that i have to crop every wallpaper and resize to the right resolution for most of smart phones screen ?
Any suggest will help me, please give me something like referent, any other app, or any Java code so i can put into my app.
Thanks
noticed that some wallpapers scale in a weird way when in landscape. is there a right size to not have it scale (zoom in) when on landscape? seems like a hit and miss for me. some scale in a weird way and some do not.
tried setting wallpapers from the gallery, from wallpaper apps, and from google "wallpapers" app and i cant have it behave consistently.
also just noticed with the stock Pie OTA that the text under the icons are cut off when in landscape. dont remember if it used to do that in Oreo but I just noticed it now.
