I'm really having trouble setting my own wallpaper. Ridiculous, I know.
When I select an image via Personalize > Wallpaper > Gallery I can select the image and it says it's been set as my wallpaper... but it hasn't been.
Any ideas on this one? Kinda figured this'd be the easiet thing in the world.
This is exclusive to images I download. Photos taken with the camera can be set without issue.
Are the pictures .png or .jpg format?
I have experienced the same once, but after reboot the wallpaper was changed to the new one.

.jpg and I just tried a reboot with no luck. Will I have greater success with .png?
Are you sure that the wallpaper are in the correct size?
Try to take one of the pictures that works and compare to the one's that don't work. Or you can send a PM to me with the one that don't work, so i can tjeck it in Photoshop
Are you using HTC Sense launcher or eg. ADW Launcher, because there is a difference in size on wallpaper.
I'm using HTC Sense launcher. What is the correct resolution?
Thanks again!
Wallpaper size should be 800x480 with HTC Sense launcher. With e.g. ADW launcher it's 960x800.
Try using an app called wallpaper wizardrii from market it works like a charm for me.

I remember in a previous ROM I had (Cant remember which one D: ) when setting a wallpaper I had the ability to choose a portrait wallpaper, or a scrollable "wide wallpaper". I would love to get that back, as I have many 480x800 wallpapers that I have to blow-up and pixelate because I cant set is as a portrait wallpaper D:
Suggestions?

Just to be clear, you want one wallpaer to just stay in the center of the screen?
If so press menu-->prefences-->appearance-->Disable wallpaper scrolling.
If that's not what you want, just say so.

No, cause even with wallpaper scrolling turned off it still wants you to crop the image to be scrollable. I have tried 5+ launchers but im pretty sure it has to do with whatever handles the wallpaper chooser.

Answer me this, is the wallpaper you have a portrait wallpaper? And if so try this, go into prefrences and then homescreen. Change number of screens to 1 and then set your wallpaper. Does that fix it?

Negatory.
It still wants me to crop the photo in a 4:3 ratio.
Did this with GO Launcher, LauncherPro, and ADW EX. To no avail.

Download picspeed hd wallpapres app...when setting up a wallpaper u go to picspeed app.. u have many choices there..
I have no account for u to donate but atleast u can point a thumb upwards!
I've got a NC running 1.0.0 that I ran autonooter 2.12.25 on to root it. I'm currently using Zeam as my launcher. I have it set for 3 screens at the moment and the first wallpaper I used I remember scrolling as I went from screen to screen. I've since updated my wallpaper to other images and it seems that I've lost this scrolling capability. My most reason wallpaper has dimensions of 1280x800 and it doesn't scroll.
I've tried going into Zeam's settings which mentions having scrollable wallpaper. Setting this option on or off does not seem have any effect.
Anybody out there experience this or know what I might be doing wrong? I thought the wallpaper simply needed to be > 1024x600 for it to scroll.
Minor annoyance, but I kinda liked the feature.
Thanks,
--ex
Try updating to a wallpaper thats 1024x1200 and post if thats scrollable.
I also find that, if you select the wallpaper with the stock launcher & then switch back to Zeam, the wallpaper is sized better for the NC.
Cheers,
kev
Use a wallpaper that is 1280x1024 and set it while in landscape mode. That has worked best for me.
I've tried 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 wallpapers but haven't seen any difference in behavior. Strange.
--ex
I've found that if you load the wallpaper into the wallpaper folder on your NC's internal memory and then use the stock launcher to change the wallpaper it works best. No idea why, but it does. Put the same picture in the pictures folder and it does not look as good. Again, no clue why.
I know that the resolution of SGT is 1200x1024
but I still found that images in this size is still a bit blur after being set as wallpaper
I definitely sure that I've crop the whole image while I set it as wallpaper
This is the original wallpaper I downloaded, and the attached one is my home screen, showing that the wallpaper is a bit blur
http://androidandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/perf-aam-tablet.png
Is there any solution?
I just still know it from the Nook Color,
there the resolution was 1280*1024,
and if I used Wallpaper Set and Save there was no blur.
The gallery has that issue, don't use the gallery to set the wallpaper. Grab QuicPic from the market, it's free, fast, awesome and sets wallpapers without any issue

Just installed CM7. Only have one issue so far and granted it's minor, but annoying. I'm only using one home screen. When i install a wallpaper CM wants to set it alot wider than the screen and all the nook specific wallpapers get cropped funny. Is there a way to adjust the system so that the wallpaper crops to the actual screen size rather than the CM preset crop?

And is there an easy way to hide or remove some of the CM7 preinstalled apps?

Use ES File Explorer to set your wallpaper.

I have had great success using Wallpaper Set and Save from the Market. Great images from interfacelift.com

I don't think what i'm asking is possible evidently.
Just want the wallpaper to be able to use the screen size portrait wallpaper and not the widescreen aspect ratio that ADW or whatever is forcing me to use.
Dodol wallpaper maker will work with any dimension image. Though it worked great in Eclair, but in Gingerbread it wants to reboot to set the wallpaper, but only in some cases.

the website interfacelift offers images in many different resolutions. Mine scales to three home screens. You could adjust images to your liking in almost any image editor and load many ways to your NC.
I know exactly what your Talking about and what I use is Perfect Viewer from Market. I know it's not obvious that it has the feature considering it's an Image/Comic viewer, but it works great and I already use it for other things so it was a bonus.

Hello,
Has anyone experienced a problem trying to set a wallpaper in portrait orientation from QuickPic? In my case, if I browse the gallery in QuickPic, find the picture and try to use the HTC Gallery (Sense 5.5, Android Revolution HD 53), it simply doesn't open. If I try to use QuickPic itself, it only allows me to crop using a fixed landscape cropper.
Please give me some ideas how to get rid of this annoyance.
Thanks!

Yeah. I get the same thing. Unfortunately I think it's an issue with QuickPic. I think its default is to assume that the homescreen is to use scrollable wallpaper, so when you swiped through your different homescreens the wallpaper would shift along with it. That's how it was on my previous phone (HTC Inspire). And it's not actually setting it to landscape by rotating the dimensions. It's setting the width at 2x the screen size. The screen dimension of my Inspire was 480x800. If I wanted to use scrollable wallpaper, I would choose an image 960x800.
Since the m7 doesn't use scrollable wallpaper in the stock launcher (and I don't think there's an option to turn that on, but I could be wrong), QuickPic kinda screws that up. So it's better to use the stock Gallery app to set wallpaper. It will set the correct aspect ratio with the crop tool. Open the Gallery app, find the pic you want to use then set as Wallpaper (not QuickPic Wallpaper). Or you can go into System Settings>Personalize>Wallpaper, Select Wallpaper from Gallery.
On a related note, some 3rd party launchers allow you to set the wallpaper to be a single screen or scrollable. I use Go Launcher and if I have it set to single screen, I can use QuickPic to set the wallpaper and it sets the crop tool with the proper portrait aspect ratio.
Thanks, sharksfan7! I figured it might be something of the sort. I'll send a note to the QuickPic developer, maybe he/she will be able to sort this in a future update.

However, that brings me to my second question: the stock Gallery app does not open if I browse to the pic in QuickPic and try to set it as a "Wallpaper". Any idea what might be causing this? Anyone?

Noticed that as well. Again, probably a QuickPic issue. If you have Google+ installed you'll probably see a "Wallpaper" option using Google Pictures in that Set As list as well. If I select that, the whole thing just crashes.
If you go directly into the Gallery when you want to set wallpaper it works as it's supposed to.

Strangely after reading this, I went to QuickPic to have another go at setting a wallpaper and the 'crop box' was in portrait mode! Either coincidental or random update or I just chose the right picture!!
