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...

I dont have photoshop, but i need to have a see through or opaque picture to use as my lockscreen background. can anyone help me, or even make a quick one? with a grey background if its opaque.
BUMP! come on people someone must have photoshop, this would only take 5 minutes.
doesn't the one from the other thread work?....

..... Then have a play with DroidExplorer?... apparently it can do the ADB stuff for you......
EDIT..... Droid Explorer - 0.8.6.0 [06/19/2010] - Conan O'Brian Edition
Why someone with photoshop. It's just as doable with Gimp, a totally free image editor.
i dont have an image editor, slash i didnt know that. And its not the actual lock screen or anything i need.
i downloaded lockbot and you can use your own image as the background, so if i got a transparent one then i would have a transparent lockscreen..

i modified the file from Cronos 1.7.1 so i'm not sure it will work for villainrom...
if you do want to try it ... do a nandroid or bart backup before you PUSH the file onto /system/framework folder
i think i tried that one before, but i'm not sure, i'll give it a shot.
it says verification failed?
If your looking to set an image as a lockscreen background its not as easy as having a transparent image. Android does not treat it as if it is transparent.
Hoping someone can work out a fix soon though.
oh i see. well thats helpful thanks. Also when trying to flash all these zips that people are putting together for me, when i try to flash them i get an error "verification failed"!!

There was a Vanilla ROM with transparent locksscreen. I think it even was SuperHero and I remember it coz people did not like transparent lockscreens. It made screen look messy. Also some other vanilla ROMs have semi transparent lockscreens - it shows only wallppaper, not all icons and widgets - which I found very cool, especially if you like live wallpapers. I want to make it work on sense ROMs, don't know how so

2 things:
Make sure all of your wallpapers are 960x800.
I'd recommend using either Flikie HD, or Zedge. Personally I use Flikie, and when I find a new wallpaper, I put it in the Flikie/wallpaper folder, and load it like normal; selecting Flikie, navigate to your flikie wallpaper folder and it'll set the wallpaper proportional to the screen
Both Flikie and Zedge have a great selection of wallpapers too
Flikie is not bad! I'm crazy about it recently!
I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about but..
1. First make sure the resolution is correct
2. If you tap on the orange border arrows should come up and then you can use them to resize. I couldn't figure it out for the longest time.
Orange square is for resizing when choosing wallpapers. Drag the corner of it to make it as big as possible
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.

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!

I followed this to the letter, picture came out cropped severely.
Well I made a lockscreen with my favorite Touhou character <3
The artwork is made by walfas himself~
That's how it looks.
I hope you like it~
PS: It's a transparent PNG so you have to send it via Mail to your phone or use the Windows Phone Device Manager.
Edit: Made a new one. I will update this thread with new lockscreens
I like the fact, that the transparent stuff is black at first. So I made this cute one with little Okuu and Orin~
Edit2: I just noticed, that my PNGs get converted into JPG when I upload them here D: I added links to them. You can treat the attachments as thumbnails

So i am a bit of a Japanese culture fan and love my Samurai so i made this one based on an illistration of him. I cannot attach it though, how did you get the jpg uploaded and avoid the file type check?
(for now i have zipped it up, just save, unzip and email it to your phone)
The attached png is for preview only, hope you like
For some reason I can't get the lockscreens to work, I did everything as it said, did I miss anything or am I supposed to do something else to the phone before I set the lockscreens? If I could get some help I would really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

you have to either email the png( image) or copy to device through windows device manager.... and set it as lockscreen... and it is black but when you touch the screen you can see through it....
THANKS!!!
Thanks. I'll go back step by step, see if I did anything wrong if not, I'll have to do it through WDM. Also can regular pics be turn into see through lockscreens? I got a couple that I would like to see as transparent in my lockscreen. Thanks again
In PhotoShop anything is possible lol if you post them to a pm I'll have a go at tweaking it.

Bingo!!
I just figured out why the screens didn't want to work. Apparently taking my pasword lock off was the solution. If I put the password lock back on it doesn go transparent. I guess that's the price you pay for having a great looking screen
Excuse my ignorance, but how do you go around saving this thing anyway? It only allows me to save in .jpg format when i open in my browser i.e. chrome, IE mailing the jpg to my phone doesn't seems to have the transparent effect

Save the jpeg on your desktop. Now right click on it, and open with paint (The windows paint program.) Once its open, click the file/save as, and change from jpeg to png. Now email it to your self. Open the attachment on your phone, and save as wallpaper.

Done that, but still it doesn't gives the transparency effect =S, it just came up with white b/g. I use win 7 default paint program to convert
Windows Paint doesn't support the 6bit transparency of a 32bit png. You have to use either Photoshop, GIMP, paint.NET, etc. When you save it it has to be a 32bit PNG. Also you have to send it via mail or use the WP Device Manager. ZUNE doesn't support PNGs. The transparent stuff is black unless you touch the lockscreen.
RE: Help
Hello Everyone,
I am using paint.net software and I can't seem to get it right. Please teach me on how to do this!!!
Don't bother with it when you plan to update to Mango since it doesn't support translarent PNGs anymore. I'll post my current Lockscreen in my first post instead
RE: Transparent Lock Wallpapers
Hello Everyone...I can confirm that transparent Lock Wallpapers still work for Mango...I used paint.net to edit the wallpaper and emailed it to myself and the transparent wallpaper works...Oh and I can also confirm that using a password works with transparent wallpaper as well...
