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.
Hey Guys,
I installed Nova Launcher in the Chinese ICS Rom on my Note but my wallpapers dont scale properly at all! I have the correct resolution on em. In Fact all of them are downloaded from the wallpaper section in XDA for Note. They scale perfectly in TW launcher but not in Nova. Anyone knows why? Any setting I am missing? Please help! I love this launcher!
Hi,
I set wallpaper from stock wallpaper gallery and it scale fine.
I still using the default option in nova and not yet change dpi or any display settings in this ics chinese rom.
Have you change something before?

No, did not change anything!
I have found this with another launcher (ssLauncher). When selecting from the gallery the size went completely wrong.
I selected from another source (Pic Viewer perhaps?) and it was set perfectly.
Try launching the new gallery app from drawer - the one with the red-purplish icon - and setting your homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper from there.
That's the way I'm doing it, and it scales images just fine.
Use Quickpic to set wallpaper. Works flawlessly.....

I am having the exact same problem
By any chance, did you guys install ADW Launcher before installing this ROM?
My wallpaper scaling problems started when I installed ADW......fixed them by installing another rom and doing a full wipe.
Also, you can use quick pic or wallpaper wizardrii from the market (both are free)
Btw,
which link did you use to download the ics leak rom......I downloaded the torrent one but I lose root access ? I'd be grateful if you could give me the link.
Many thanks
I never use adw on my ics rom, just install nova after tw launcher and never have any issue with wallpaper.
I use repacked version from chainfire, its rooted and cwm included. You can download it here (torrent) :
ftp://tor:[email protected]/I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar.torrent
I have the CF repack too but I am still having problems with scaling. The temp solution I have is setting the wallpaper with Tw launcher and then switching to nova. But still after some app exits the wallpaper scales back to its zoomed state and i do the whole thing again. Dunno what seems to be the problem. love this launcher a lot to give up for this scaling problem

what about go launcher..saw many ICS theme for go launcher
I am also having an issue with 1.00. The top of the wallpaper is cut-off or underneath the notification bar. I am using a Galaxy Nexus.
guys i hope i solved ur issues....read the following
The native screen resolution is 720 x 1280, but native wallpapers are actually 1440 x 1280 because of scrolling. However, Android always forces you to crop your wallpaper to "their dimensions". So, if you are using a static wallpaper setting like Nova, you need to tweak your wallpapers.
Basically, you want to embed a 720 x 1280 wallpaper on a 1440 x 1280 background. Then when you go to set the wallpaper, you stretch the cropping tool to its MAX size and it cuts out the "excess" background leaving only your 720 x 1280 image.

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.
What dimensions [Aspect ratio and resolution] Should be used so that we dont have to 'crop' the pic before setting it as Homescreen wallapaper? I dont want to crop as it degrades the quality..I want the exact fit!
AW: What dimension to use for homescreen wallpapers?
2160x1920 thats perfect fit.
No i mean without cropping..you have to crop even 2160x1920
What is the best resolution for nexus 6 using the stock rom and launcher?
2560x1440. That's why the phone is 1440p.

The height of then screen is 2560. The width is 1440. This is fine if you use a launcher that doesn't scroll home screen wallpapers or doesn't go into landscape mode. However if your launcher does do either of those things, you'll find you'll be displaying the image at a lower resolution to accommodate that.
Personally I get all my wallpapers from https://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/wide_16:9
...in 16:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 5120x2880. This gives me the ability to accommodate landscape mode and scrolling home screen wallpapers without having to lose any image quality
