wallpaper always zoomed in - Motorola Droid 3

put a pic of my nephew as the wallpaper, it asked me to crop it and i did. But when the picture got applied it was zoomed in and was not what i had selected.
I have zeam launcher installed and tried it with the default launcher as well and same results. From what i can see when cropping the wallpaper you have to do it so it stretches to all 5 pages and scrolls, but still don't get why it zooms in. I installed zeam because i only want one page and one static image 800x400 but the zoom is really annoying making everything larger then it should be.
Anyone have a fix?

When you set it as the wallpaper usually you have to crop it and choose the size.

The phone is 960 pixels tall, so rather than 800 x 400, resize the image (if you have the original source) to something like 1440 x 960. (It may need to be wider if you have more than 5 screens, and if you don't want wallpaper to pan as you move between homescreens obviously you want 540 x 960, or, of course, just crop it.) The key thing, I think, is to get the height of the image to 960 pixels.
I used to have problems with stock changing my custom wallpaper to the default one when I had photos that were larger than that selected as wallpaper, but since resizing them I've not had that problem.

vertical wallpaper

the screen for the N1 isn't squared but when selecting a picture as wallpaper...you can't select the whole wallpaper, only a square ratio of it.
anyway to select the whole wallpaper to make it look like in the gallery?
The wallpaper on a Nexus is 960x800. A LOT wider than the screen width of 400. Because the wallpaper shifts as you scroll from screen to screen.
So you need to get wallpaper in 960x800 size. (width x height)
ok thanks.

I haven't test it, but I think if the wallpaper if under 960x800, then it should let you select all of it, if not, then sorry, I don't know.

[Q] Wallpaper resolution

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

wallpaper question

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.

[Q] Low-res (bad quality) lockscreen wallpaper -- How to change it?

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.
Menu-setting-display-screen display-lockscreen-wallpaper
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

[Q] Wallpaper Wizardii

So I've read several threads about getting wallpapers to fit just right on the Touch Pad using Wallpaper Wizardii and Wallpaper Set & Save. I've downloaded both and still can't get my wallpapers to fit right. The problem I'm having is no matter what I do, each wallpaper is being cropped into. Am I just doing this wrong or is there a better way to do it?
Which option are you selecting in wallpaper wizardrii? If I want to set an image without crop I use "exact" on an image that's the same resolution as the touch pad screen, that seems to work for me.
