Hey guys, looking to create screen sized wallpapers for use with MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.
I'm looking for either an app for my phone, or on PC that mimics the cropping feature of MultiPicture Live wallpaper.

That program is only for Mac... something similar to that for Windows is what I'm after. Or an app on the phone.
Once again I'd like something that does the resizing for me, basically just want to choose and aspect ration (resolution I'm going for is 480x800) that I can just make bigger or smaller around the part of the picture I want to use (just like when you individually pick wallpapers). I want to do this for the Random wallpaper feature of the app, and it doesn't seem to include a toll to crop and save the images with the correct resolution.
Thanks!
IrfanView has some useful batch cropping and resizing features. And it's free!
I'm looking for the same thing. I'll check out IrfanView but does anyone else have any suggestions?
As you guys might have noticed, whenever you set a wallpaper using the default android gallery, it kinda compresses it and results in a low quality version of the pic as your wallpaper. I've found a workaround for this by using apps from the market to set my wallpaper with BUT all of those apps can only change my homescreen wallpaper and NOT the lockscreen wallpaper.
So my question is if any of you guys can tell me how to manually change my lockscreen wallpaper? I have a rooted device 2.3.5 btw. Thanks.

No, I know how to change the lockscreen wallpaper. But like I've said, when you use that way, it lowers the quality of the picture you use. If I use a hi-def photo and set it as my lockscreen wallpaper, the quality loss is very obvious. Which is why I was asking if there was a workaround for this.
When you're about to change the wallpaper and the square box pops up, tap it and expand it.

no, that's not it either. regardless of how you crop it, if you use the default gallery app, the resulting wallpaper is compressed thus the quality loss
get a suitable hd wallpaper from the internet then save picture to gallery. When you set wallpaper to lockscreen choose gallery, find pic you have d/l and crop it accordingly. Remember to get the highest resolution wallpaper.
Hope the above helps

+1 to the question!!!
I wanna use the same wallpaper on the lockscreen & on the my launcher. I choose the picture, set it up as my wallpaper - in the laucher it's absolutely ok, but in the locksreen there are a lot of strange lines (bright & dark) over the wallpaper.
you need a wallpaper of atleast 1600*1000 resolution. If you can find one with an even higher resolution, better still.
Just follow instructions of my earlier post

Of course I have a high-res wallpaper!
But the quality is much worse on the lockscreen than on the launcher's homescreen.
Maybe light wallpapers are ok, but the dark (like mine) is laggy.
anyone knows where the default wallpapers are saved to? cant seem to find the default lock screen wallpaper (of the pen and notebook)...
low resolution for a purpose
do you think the lock screen uses a lower resolution for a reason. that screen basically is displayed for just a few seconds and kinda floats on top of an already high resolution main screen. just a theory that it's supposed to be lower quality graphic.
You can use Quickpic which is free on the market to set the lockscreen. I don't see any reduction of resolution.

again guys, the issue is not with the cropping or with the image quality i'm using. it's with android gallery app compressing the picture i want to use.
@holgalee
thanks, that was exactly what i was looking for!
How about WidgetLocker? A guy posted a screenshot of his completely black background that didn't have any of the ugliness many are reporting of. But it costs money, and i don't know how you feel about apps that cost money, but you're holding a device that cost almost $1000
same problem here.
tried to have a black background on the lockscreen.
tried with a 1200x1600 bmp, png and jpg...
always the same ugly green and black stripes
none of that with galaxy s1 and s2, just with the galaxy note
what can i do to have full black background? dont want to use crappy alternative lockscreen, want to use the native android lockscreen
It won't help with a 5500x3500 wallpaper as long as the default gallery app is compressing the image. It will still look like ****.

I had the same issue on my S2; completely stupid really. Now I have my lockscreen wallpaper automatically change when I modify my [active] wallpaper.
The Gallery app needs to be fixed.
It's still crap on the note 2, anyone who's found a solution?
If it is the black clipping problem? Note shows lockscreen wallpaper a bit darker than normal wallpaper so theres possibility you only notice it on lockscreen.
Found one that looks okay so i am using that
I'm a big fan of customizing homescreen and that's one of the reasons why i love android so much and never liked the scrolling wallpapers in android launchers, So i always stop the wallpaper scrolling and then the next thing is that it's always awesome to have model wallpapers once in a while as the wallpaper but then it's really hard to find a good collection of model wallpapers that fits nicely. So i always have to search alot to find good stuff, so i thought of sharing what i've found with yo'll.
I'm not sure if all the lauchers support "wallpaper scroll" to stop or allow but most 3rd party launchers like NOVA, APEX,TSF shell...ect supports this, So this is for all those who want hot model wallpapers that does not scroll
I'm using these on my Galaxy Note 2 and they look great not full HD but still it's all good quality.

Here's something special for those who does not like to use the same wallpaper every single day. Most of you might know these apps already but this is for those who does not know about these amazing apps. So basically what they do is that they let you change your wallpaper automatically or with a simple click of a widget. so that you don't have to go through all the photos over and over again to select a new photo as your wallpaper. you can select a your folder or album with your favorite photos and then the app will change the wallpaper according to your settings. This is just the basic idea about these 3 apps you will understand what to do with it once you instal and check em out for yourself.

I highly recommend wallpaper Changer #1 which is what i use daily.
> Low Ram use
>Low battery use
>Very simple
>2 modes - Live wallpaper and Stand alone app mode (if you don't tick the live wallpaper option it goes as a stand alone app
Multipicture live wallpaper is also great and has alot more features than my #1 and the best thing about it is that you can select different wallpapers for different screens it looks really cool. but make sure when you're in the settings you edit the memory consumption setting to LOW or Medium because otherwise it mat take too much of your ram.
Hey all
My only grip with my Z3C so far is that I can't mirror my lockscreen wallpaper and launcher wallpaper. I sometimes crop the images and it's tough getting them both exactly the same at times. Does anyone know of a solution that'll automatically make my regular wallpaper my lockscreen wallpaper as well?

Please not that even tho the question is theme related, it should still be in the Q&A section.
The way I got around the problem was just to upload the image at a site like imgur and then use a browser on my phone and select use picture as wallpaper or lockscreen.
Oh alright, my bad - it was a bit of a toss up between the two but now I know.
Ah thanks, sadly that's not an option. I'd love some live wallpaper that just mirrors the current wallpaper, but I suppose that's unlikely...
I've been looking around a lot but can't find anything.
Any suggestions?
I love the minimalistic look of S8/N8 animated wallpapers, however the problem with them is that they can only be applied to both lock and home screen. You can't choose only one (at least I couldn't find that option). Applying infinity wallpaper on both and then a separate lock screen only wallpaper would break the infinity wallpaper on home screen.
Hit me up with some minimalistic live wallpapers
Don't need to be too flashy and I'm fond of blue-ish colors.
I dont know if it is what you are looking for but I sometimes use one called black live wallpaper, from the playstore
It's not bad but it's basically just parallax with sparkling effects and not really what I'm looking for.
I found an app called simply Motion by maxelus.net on Play Store. It's paid but one of the most beautiful live wallpapers I've seen and very much like Samsungs infinity stuff.
