I made some wallpapers from anime characters as jpeg 1080x2340 and set them as my Home Screen.
My problems is when unlocking up my phone, maybe 1 out of 20 times the wallpaper does not show only the theme wallpaper, If i lock my phone and unlock my wallpaper is instantly back.
I have tried different theme`s and wallpapers and rebooted a number to times but the problem remains.
Is anybody else have this problem.
edit: also sometimes the wallpapers even screenshots from the phone look magnified 4x when set as wallpaper and then i have to load a new theme and then load the image again to get them to show at the correct size.
Thanks
John.
edit: there is a free windows program called "Image Cropper" you can as it says crop an area out of a larger photo, The aspect ratio for RNP8 is 6 x 13 then set the save resolution to 1080x2340, use the highest quality image you can find, There is also one for android called CropImage, select custom and set to 6x13 aspect.

When you select the option to set a wallpaper from the home screen there are various icons.
Perhaps you have to de-select the double arrow in the wallpaper preview window? When it's on it expands the wallpaper or something.
Compass.
Looks like with the Theme app, you can save your current theme including modification, So i have saved my theme with my wallpaper and them re-loaded it, Hopefully this might have fixed my problem but only time will tell.
EDIT: 5 day`s and my problem is still fixed
EDIT 2: My problems is back
EDIT 3: I have used the "ChaoMe Theme Editor" on the Play Store to edit a theme and add my own wallpaper, It seems to be working so far,

hi guys ... yes i just found a way how you can have a fixed wallpaper as a background
there is a live wallpaper by the name of droid x live paper or something it has an droid eye .. now here when u apply that in the settings u have to select the desired background.. lightning type- none, choose eye - none.. show particles- un tick this... and you are good to go.. now you have a wallpaper that wont move when you move the screens ... and if you know how to edit images.. make an image with the size 960 x 800.. but it will only show the first half ie 480x800 so keep ur image on the first half of the image..... i have attached a few wallpapers which i created may be you can understand what i m saying by looking at it... and i have also attached the apk file of the live wallpaper( this apk is not the full version, u can buy it from the market if u like it)
(the whole credit goes to the maker of this live wallpaper)
does anyone has a better idea than this to have a fixed wallpaper like in other mobile phones ?????
Tried this and got it to work half way, I made a 960x800 canvas and just placed a 480x800 on the left portion upon applying it using the livewallpaper the image quality is degraded seems like the phone is doing something to it.
I ended up making a 960x800 canvas and a blank space of 249 pixels to keep my image centered.
I cant believe why it such a trivial thing to do on andriod/touchwiz... also why hasnt any dev made an effort for a non sliding and really good scaling/cropping wallpaper app ?
I think TW Launcher is your problem. I'm using LauncherPro and its just a tick box to stop the wallpaper moving
I know some others also choose to use ADW Launcher instead of TW and that probably also has that tick box. Maybe that's why the devs haven't bothered?
I would suggest trying one of the above alternative home screen launchers, they add lots more options and can be used for free. If you don't like either just remove them and return to TW
I think you can have a non moving wallpaper using multi picture wallpaper app (please google for the app, I am unable to paste links) by setting the same picture for all screens and setting an appropriate transition method.
Cheers.

This one is golden its very very close to perfect!!! All it needs is just a better cropping quality on some pictures!
This one is very good, but lacks of quality when doing the downsize:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-galmoori-wallpapereditor-FzCp.aspx
And this one is usable, but unlike the below one you have to provide your own jpg at the correct size (480x800) instead of choose and crop your image from your gallery. Some error when rotating the screen though:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-promevo-wallpaper-mywallpaper-BixF.aspx
In my opinion, the first solution will be the best IF the author update the application in order to fix the downsize quality.
Or you can make your own live wallpaper. There are scripts but i think they are difficult for the low user. We just want to choose a picture, crop it and use it, don't we?

Im thinking of looking for the best resize batch for my wallpapers, I currently have about 2,400 in rotation and I need to batch resize em xD
I use Sense on a Desire Z (HTC G2) and i bought an app called WallpaperPlus, which allows to select single or multiple pictures with the size of the screen.
The problem is the quality loss is important when cropping images.
After i apply a single fixed wallpaper with this app (bad quality when from a highres pic), then i use the default wallpaper picked (from Sense) and Tada! the crop zone is no more 960*800 (horizontal) but 480*800 (vertical) with a lot better quality (quite perfect!)
The only problem is when i reboot, i have to redo this because somehow the wallpaper goes back to 960*600, an zooms in the center of the 480*800 walpaper previously set.
Just to say that it must not be difficult to change the crop zone form factor, since this app does it somehow. When i have spare time i will look further into this.
Ok so I have ADWLauncher and I've disabled wallpaper scrolling (I HATE WPS) and I can not find a simple method of using a photo as my desktop wallpaper that does not end up with the photo stretched across my home screens (I even killed all the extra home screens).
I've read all about the appropriate size for wallpapers (ex: 960x800) and re-sizing my image then expanding the canvas size, etc... but nothing seems to work. Anyone out there have any suggestions?
the only method i have gotten to work is resizing the picture and then expanding canvas. it can be a little tricky depending on how many screens youhave set. I personally only use 2 so i had the picture at (960x400) and then put it on a canvas of 960x800 this way when it stretched it was exactly right for 1 screen. doing this and turning off scrolling wall paper and it worked
Even when I remove all screens except the primary one it still "acts" as if there are more. What size should I use (for canvas) if I use 3 screens?
It should always be 960x800 regardless of the number of desktops. More desktops just scroll to the side less each swipe (under normal circumstances).

Weird I downloaded this and it still does not show me the entire pic. Gonna reflash a fresh ROM to see.
Is there a way to, turning off wallpaper scrolling, set a wallpaper using portrait-oriention without having to use the cropping tool? The image I want isn't exactly setup for landscape...nor do I get the entire thing. It's kind of annoying. Any other device would just set it on it's own without having to crop it to a completely different size...
If you're using launcher pro, under appearance settings. As for no landscape, I'm not sure, other than to turn the whole feature off.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
The only ways I've found to do so is to use Multi-Picture Live Wallpaper or edit the image and turn off wallpaper scrolling if you're using a home replacement app.
For Multi-Picture LWP, go to common settings and select the image you want to use - for best results have the image sized at 480*800. If it's smaller it will look bad, and if it's larger it may also look pixelated and the app may only show a portion of the photo depending on what your settings are. Don't set any individual settings.
If you're using a home replacement that allows for turning wallpaper scrolling off, you can use Photoshop, Gimp, or another editing software to center the image. First crop/resize the image so it's 480*800. Then you will need to add 240 pixels to each side (left and right). In Photoshop, I do this by adjusting the canvas size (it's under "image", I think).
If you want to do it the second way, but don't have the software/knowledge to do so, you can send me the image & I'll do it for you. If you want to do it yourself, Gimp is a great free photo-editing software.

When I go to change my wallpaper for the main screen or lock screen, its off. Like its supposed to go wide for scrolling but it just gives me a square to select with which makes the image distorted once saved. Is there a fix? Ive searched but havnt found anything. Help please. Include links if needed.
Thanks
I had the same issue yesterday and found several answers via google...
For the lock screen the best fix seems to be using a photo editor to resize the photo to 980x800 (or I think some multiple thereof), then upload it to your phone and select as wallpaper.
Wallpaper Wizardrii and Wall Switch both work for me for the main screen wallpaper. Both free and available from android market.
I've been trying to set new wallpaper for both lock and home screens on my Pixel XL. I've used images sized at both 1440x2560 and 2880x2560 as recommended in several posts. However, both resolutions result in backgrounds that are shifted right, i.e. only the left half of the image shows as the background. I'm setting the backgrounds via the Pictures app using the "Use as" menu item.
What am I missing here?

I make all mine 1920x1080. And have zero issues. Our devices naturally zoom out the image when in the wallpaper selection. Double tap the screen and it adjusts to fit according.
