Lockscreen wallpaper w/o cropping - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello fellas,
Just joined the realm of the XZ. Apart from the ridiculous battery life, I'm loving it.
One question though: I'm trying to set a picture as lockscreen wallpaper, but it's asking me to crop eventhough it's a vertical picture that would fit just fine the way it is. and it's forcing me to crop, otherwise I can't change the wallpaper.
Any way around this? extremely annoying
Thanks
K

Hi,
There's a Live Wallpaper called 'Simple Image Live Wallpaper' This will allow you to set without cropping.
Hope this helps!
Cheers
Paul

I know there was another thread similar to this, but this is getting kind of annoying. Android seems to assume that your device is portrait and when setting up wallpaper, this is apparent. The majority of wallpaper I've tried have been cut off one way or another, most annoyingly is the one I wanted to try today. Absolutely unusable.

When I saved the image, looks perfect. When setting it up for wallpaper, the sides looked to be cut off, no problem. That's tolerable. When I actually applied, I barely got the top half of the image.. lol
I know android isnt really built for tablets just yet, but there has to be a better way.. if someone has an idea and I have to write an app for it myself, I'll do it... lol I can't be the only one bothered by this.
Actually i kind bothered with a similiar question.. i read wallpapers should have 1024x600.. then i made some of my own. NOW i cant apply them. Stupid androind always asks me to crop them, so they look horrible. Dont know how to apply a simple wallpaper. Anoying...
Thank goodness it's not just me!
Was having the same issue, but thought it was just me. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why all of my images looked borked up whenever selected as wallpaper.
Download multipicture live wallpaper from the market. I use this and am now able to see high res wallpapers in their entirety. You can set it up so that each time you swipe between home pages a different photo is shown but I just have one photo as my background.

[Q] How to set crisp & sharp wallpapers

I really have searched alot for this answer. I run a CyanogenMod based ROM on my HD2. When I go to select a wallpaper there are four options; Wallpapers, Live wallpapers, Gallery and CyanogenMod Wallpapers.
Ignoring the live ones for a moment, when I select a Wall from the Wallpapers or CyanogenMod I'm not asked to resize/crop it and I get a lovely sharp Wallpaper on my Home screen.
Selecting a Gallery image I am asked to resize/crop it, even if it is already the correct 960x800 resolution. And no matter what I do the resulting image that appears on my home screen has lost lots of detail.
Thinking some redundant rescaling might be happening, and considering the original sources of the walls were higher resolution anyway, I made bigger images which still had the correct aspect ratio. I was hoping they would retain more detail but no, it's like the images are sized down to a resolution below 960x800 and then scaled up for displaying on the home screen losing detail in the process.
The quality drop is nothing like what Sense used to do on WinMo, it's quite subtle, but it's definitely there.
Anyone else experienced this, any solutions
Note. I've also tried Nexus One based ROMs on the phone and got same result.
The remedy you're looking for is called "Wallpaper Set & Save" and is available on the Market for free.
Make sure though that your Wallpaper is in a 4:3 aspect ratio (640x480, 960x800) and you can set wallpapers in full quality.
As far as I can tell, pretty much everyone who in some way customizes his mobile phone is using this piece of software.
Hope that helps
Wallpaper Set and Save in the market.
Cheers guys, that worked like a charm
CAn someone upload it here .. CAnnot found on market .. mini pro.
Had it b4 but cant seem to find the link

Correct Size for Wallpaper without Cropping?

What is the correct size for the wallpaper for a Inc S/2? I am trying to set wallpapers using Tasker, but they keep winding up getting cropped and look odd. What size should the images be?
Just download wallpaper wizardrii best app to set wallpaper crop, no crop, exact everything
Problem is I am trying to set the wallpaper with Tasker....
800h*960w
you need to double the weidth
so 800*480 becomes 800*960
960x800 works perfectly
Thanks for this size I was getting quite frustrated when trying to add a portrait picture as my wallpaper
Below is the image I always use as a template, as the red area shows what will be displayed on the center screen

Wizardii seems like a great little app to help set wallpapers. I use the no scroll setting. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&feature=search_result

Wallpaper settings

I have a picture of my son I will use. But my phone keeps cropping it.
Why can't I just use it as wallpaper like a iPhone does.?
Is it meant to be that I have to resize it manually before?
Anyone ??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The phone wants to resize the picture to fit the dimensions of the phone screen. The cropping template can be expanded or contracted to take in as much or as little of the picture as you desire. It can also be moved in any direction. Just drag the edges of the cropping template as far out as it will go to get the maximum amount of the picture.
