stationary background?

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...

HOW TO apply a 1024x600 hd wallpaper

this will blow your mind on how crystal clear the wallpapers can be when we use native 1024x600 resolution. this is not some blown up 480x800 blurry wallpapers we always see to acheve wallpaper scrolling wich I always have off cus it lags my scrolling
1. download multipicture live wallpaper
2. download a highdef wallpaper here wowallpapers.com/show_wallpaper/world/england_wallpaper_01_1024x600.jpg
3. go to live wallpapers and select multipicture live wallpaper
4. go to common settings - picture source - single picture and select the high def pic
5. then select crop resize ratio and select Show Entire Picture
6. go back and under drawer settings select transition type and select None.
7.go back and under picture folder selection uncheck double tap to change picture
8.then go to picture change interval select Never
enjoy the most unreal wallpaper on your nook. if u have adw select landscape oreintation only . because potrait kills the wallpaper

Or just check the long-standing steps posted in the OP of a stickied thread in this very forum There is a quick & dirty solution there, but also my steps to get a pixel-perfect wallpaper.

PS: 1024x600 is too small. You need a bigger image than that if you want to have it move in the background a keep an un-stretched image. We use the same size as the Galaxy, which is 1200x1024. That seems to give me the best results.

that method involves cropping the picture. my method SHOWS THE WHOLE 1024x600 picture (no croping)and its a tottaly diffrent way of the one that's posted on there. and I also mentioned I dont like having the wallpaper scroll at a cost of performance. if u wanna do it your way by all means I'm just sharing my way of doing things. cheers

Well you only need to crop the image if it's not the right size already, which is true of any method of setting a wallpaper, including yours. Not to mention that your method breaks in 50% of supported orientations Hardly "tottaly diffrent..."
And I have no idea what performance hit you are seeing from having a scrolling wallpaper. I've had no issues at all on Android 2.1 or 2.3, both at stock or with an OC'ed kernal. I mean, you're of course welcome to use whatever settings you want, I just dont know what performance hit you're talking about.
Either way, this just seems like a bunch of extra steps to accomplish the same thing that has been posted previously, just with less functionality. I dont mean to sound malicious; I just dont understand what advantage you're offering people.

wow I have to spoon feed u an understanding of what i acheved. read and read again. u get a 1024x600 native wallpaper on your nook on landscape. no chopping or visible blockyness. if u want a wallpaper that scrolls your method is prob good I never tryed it. but since I DO NOT have my wallpaper scroll I like to have the WHOLE picture visible and none of it hiding on the sides

... I need that gif of a rolleyes emoticon vomiting other, smaller rolleyes emoticons here I think.

Thank you so much
You are a genius cowballz69!!! Not only did this solve my problem and keep me from having to crop, resize, etc, etc, it also allowed me to have random wallpapers, different size wallpapers, etc. And they all scale excellently and look wonderful on my Nook Color! I was even able to mess around with the program settings and get an accpetable workaround for the wallpapers in portrait mode. (I have the mirror effect above and below the image, looks nice.) Thanks again!

Is this 1-1 pixel mapping when done either way?
I haven't even tried putting a wallpaper on other than the defaults yet, too busy exploring other NC features.

I tried every single method out there, this was the only one that really came out nice and crisp. Thanks man.
After reading up, i also tried ES File Explorer's Wallpaper function and got very good results, not as good as your method, but i would prefer to not run a live wallpaper if possible and got good results. I hope a surefire solution to this wallpaper situation shows up for the nook one day. I force the nook to landscape btw.

Wall Switch from the market is great and gives you high res wallpapers, i switched to it and am very happy with it.

I just tried Wall Switch with 1024x600 wallpapers and it still insists on cropping and otherwise adjusting the pics.
edit:
On the subject of the thread, I'm kind of surprised that this hasn't been fixed yet. Usually you guys jump on wallpapers and themes right after root.
I don't understand why the settings aren't built in that will allow us to just go choose a 1024x600 image, apply it in the correct orientation, and not let it move no matter how the screen is tilted. I don't want my wallpaper to scroll or change at all. That seems like it should be easy to do.

Finally an easy solution for CM7. Thanks for that!
Start QuickPic. Press and hold 1200x1024 picture. Choose Set as. Choose QuickPic Wallpaper. Menu > Save. Full resolution wallpaper!

MultiPicture Live Wallpaper

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).

[Q] Changing Lockscren Background with ICS Lockscreen

Thanks for the pic the photo was fine. To be honest id almost prefer the black screen then some

thanks for the post im sold and diving in...

Ya I have the same problem. This lock screen gets triggered when you change the DPI too, but anyways. I've been dealing with this too. I think that what says to use a wallpaper is set up in the framework-res.apk, and would require some major reworking to have it set the wallpaper from the launcher it's using. I say this because right now, the framework-res.apk is saying that if everything on the fire HD is working okay, display wallpapers within the app itself. And is everything isn't okay on the fire HD, display a black background. You would have to edit it to say that if launcher is using x wallpaper, than use x wallpaper as it's own wallpaper. It's so complicated because amazon reworked the entire android source code in relation to the lock screen, amazon didn't want anyone messing with it. To change the wallpaper, you will have to have a full knowledge of how to rebuild applications for android, and balls of steel to mess with an app like the framework-res.apk

I don't think we can get it using the same wallpaper as the launcher automatically either. I would be fine with it using amazon's stock images (you can change those with 7zip/winrar to match your launcher's anyway).
EDIT: does changing the dpi make the status/navigation bar smaller? If so, I might do that!

[Q] how to put whole wallpaper?!?

Hello everyone!
I just bought LG P880, and that's my first android phone.
Tried to find an answer on this forum but no luck...
I think that you can help me...
My (noob) question is:
How can I put the WHOLE wallpaper on screen?!?
I successfully transfer file from PC to mobile, and when I want to set it as a wallpaper I have to "cut" it...i don't want to cut it I want the wholw picture on my screen!!!! The resolution of the picture is 720x1280, so that can't be the problem...
Only wallpapers that are original on phone can be full size on screen?!?
I hope that you understrand what I want, and for you all it's probably a noob question, but please help...

The problem is the resolution. A wallpaper needs to be twice as wide as the screen - that way the wallpaper can scroll correctly when you move homepages. Therefore you need to make sure your wallpaper is 1440x1280. If you only every want a single homescreen then take your 720x1280 wallpaper and add 360 pixels of junk on each side so it is the right size.
