it only changes for the lock screen background but not the home screen. is there anything i can do, its stuck on the jachero background.
Put the wallpaper on your sdcard. Pick your favorite filemanager and go to the picture. Longpress it and press set as then just crop it and it should be your background.
Or put the .jpg or .png on your sd card and hit menu > personalize and set wallpaper there.

Strange. I was able to load it on mine and the lockscreen wallpaper. I read before that if you remove your icons and widgets you can load wallpaper then load your icons and widgets back on. I didn't have to do that but heard it was a solution.

is there a way to have your home wallpaper at just 480x320 resolution where it just stays in the same place & doesn't scroll behind the icons? without using a home replacement app.
"wallpaper set and save" in the market

I am not sure what the previous post meant? You need to compile your own launcher with eclipse. When you download the source from git, there is a launcher.java file which allows you to change the number of homescreens. I am trying to figure out how to do the actual compiling. If you find out let me know.
I think I have this figured out. When I am able to make a 3 screen launcher, I will also do a 1 screen, and post it for you.
what he wants or wants to know, is if it can be set up to make his icons more from screen to screen, but have his wallpaper not move (now it moves a little bit left or right when you slide to a different screen.) I have never seen such a thing myself to stop this from happening.
the "wallpaper set and save" app worked perfectly. thank you
Wallpaper Plus
well you can use wallpaper plus but its a paid app but it works and you can also crop the selected image for the single screen and that'' leave it as one image but will suck in landscape since its cropped and wont strecth but i suggest it, works very well

what I do is, I take a 320x480 image and use wallpaper set and save app, and the wallpaper doesn't move just my 5 screens do, but I don't know if thats a possibility on the stock rom, I;m using CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1
what someone should do is make it to where itll show a DIFFERENT wallpaper for every screen...

Wallpaper plus does that for you.
Although the app isn't free lol
All,
Where should I put my images that I would like to use for wallpapers? Even with the stock images, I noticed that depending on what menu I used to set the wallpaper, some were resized strangely.

Thanks!
where you put them shouldn't impact the image size. you can put wallpaper images anywhere really. i put them in /media/wallpaper on my sdcard.
I tried saving images from websites using the built in browser and then set them as wallpaper, but that didn't work.
I downloaded Opera Mini from the market and then I could properly save images and set them as wallpaper.
Maybe there is a setting for the native browser that allows for proper saving, but I could not find it. Anyway, Opera is a pretty decent bowser so I'm perfectly happy using it.

Thanks for the tip. But, I'm trying to use my own pictures - not web images.
1200x1024 is the proper size for two screens. 1800x1024 for 3. you could try resizing before setting as wallpaper to see if that works for ya. make sure you expand the box to take up the entire image when selecting it or it will mess up the sizing.

Thanks. Happen to know the right size for 1 screen? is it 600 x 1024? (seems to be if my math is correct)
But, what I'm more curious about is where to put the files. Seems there is a /media/wallpaper on my sd and my internal. Which should I use? I want it to show up in my "wallpaper".
Also, happen to know if it is safe to delete the stock pictures / wallpapers. Some of them are downright ugly.
Thanks!
don't know about deleting the stock images. you could try... i doubt it'd hurt anything, but just to be safe, make sure you nandroid first.
ya... i've never done a single screen, but that is the right math... 600 per screen.
either place will work. i've loaded them in both locations and they work in either.

I had the same problem, solution is to download coveroid. Any wallpaper you want will just go into the coveroid download folder, and then set the wallpaper from inside coveroid. For some reason the non-default launchers cause issues with setting wallpapers, but coveroid seems to fix this.
1200x1024 is the correct size for 5 pages. When you slide from one page to another the background doesn't move by full 600 pixels. It only moves by 150 pixels.
The built-in gallery function scales the pictures in an ugly way when cropping for use as wallpaper. It's a conflict between 3 screens of the B&N Nook and 5 screens of the typical Android launcher.
I followed the sticky with tips and downloaded the Wallpaper Set & Save app. It lets you navigate for pictures through directories and sets them as wallpaper while preserving the resolution if correct to begin with. I'm very pleased with it. My wallpaper now looks correct.
Thanks for the help!
I hope to have some cool wallpapers soon. It helps to have a Pro photographer in the family.
So I have noticed (and mentioned this in the Continuum rom developmental thread) but I noticed this in the Serendipity Rom (I am currently using now) as well so I thought I would make a new thread for it to draw some attention to it.
I made a custom wallpaper to use (with only one screen to use 480 x 800) and after making it and putting it onto my phone. I made it my wallpaper but it seems to zoom in on the centre of the wallpaper ( an image will be attached to this; it is not exact, but it shows what I am getting at) This never happened with froyo roms but it seems that the gingerbread roms are having this issue.
I tried everything i could think of to get it full size but doesnt seem to work
when you chose wallpaper it generally brings up the picture with a grayed out are around a orange (or whatever colour is the default for your theme) box. if you drag the very edge of the box some arrows will show up and you can expand it to fill the entire walpaper then just hit save and your done

Yes I know this. I've done this enough times to make sure I have covered the full wallpaper and I have. As I can see the whole wallpaper on my screen visible in my selection. But when I accept it it zooms into the red area.
maby try using a different launcher and see if that helps and if not and if it is widspread throughout the rom then its probobly a problem with the galary.apk on that rom
Tried different launchers still the same thing happens so it must be something thats going on in the roms.
Anybody else with ideas?
Go to the market and try "wallpaper set and save"
Do you have # of screens set to 1 in your launcher? Just a thought.

Looks like it did the trick! Thanks. Now I just need to centre the single screen wallpaper within a full size wallpaper (960 x 480).
Anybody get this program working on there nook? I've seen it work on youtube but can't it to work on mine. The guy could assigned a separate pick for every screen. I can't seem to do that.
Yes, I haven't had any problems. All you have to do is make sure you check off wallpaper scrolling + in adw settings, then make sure you add specific wallpaper/folders for each "page".

The thread I linked too, talks all about how to do that. I have mine set up like that to some degree.
While I'm at it. Can I change the order of my screens?
while in the launcher screen of adw, just hit the menu options and see edit.
Edit will bring up the screens, you can change the order, but you have to change each of the settings in wallpaper app(no easy way).
