Some of you may be familiar with my typical home screen layout and custom wallpapers that I make on my PC. Well, I'm now experiencing issues with applying wallpapers to my home screen. Everything is slightly off, and not aligned properly. It appears that the phone is "zooming in" the wallpaper as it sets. Like, I'll have a border separating the notification bar area and my home screen but when applying the wallpaper that border is moved further up into the notification area. Like I said, the wallpaper seems to be "zooming in" as I set the wallpaper to my home screen.
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. 12x12 grid. No dock.
I tried using Apex Launcher and ran into the exact same issue.
I've restarted the launcher. Restarted the phone. Used different photo apps to apply the wallpaper to the home screen. Nothing has fixed this. I'm not sure what else to try. If anyone here has any idea on why wallpapers are distorted (zoomed in a bit) as I apply them to my home screen, please help. Thanks!
ETA: Added two screen shots with a specific wallpaper that I found online to help show you what I'm talking about. When I see the preview of what setting the wallpaper will look like, it doesn't apply that way after setting the wallpaper.
Sweet, baby Jesus! I found the solution!
Please let this be a PSA for everyone who may run into this issue. The culprit was that stupid "Motion Effect" option while using the One UI launcher. You have to make sure when switching back to it from a third party launcher like Nova that you choose the "always" option so that it's your default launcher (stock launcher). Then when you do that and choose to apply a wallpaper, you'll see the "Motion Effect" option right under the image. Uncheck that stupid thing and your wallpapers will not longer "zoom in" like they did before.
Now, everything is lined up as it should!

I can't seem to get the wallpaper to change on the lock screen on cm6. If i use a live wallpaper its no problem but any downloads from my SD i use i end up getting a stock wallpaper like the grass or the colorful light spec, one only on the lock screen not the launcher. Its pretty weird and i can't figure out how to change it. Any ideas?

i am experiencing the same problem...
same here on the CM6R1 lock screen it has a green grass background. not the live wallpaper swaying grass, but a photo of grass. i dont see a place to change it.
If you're using a launcher like adw, that has happened to me before. To fix it, I cleared the defaults, and loaded into the default launcher, changed the wallpaper, changed it back, and it was fixed.
Then again, this is on cm6, and I'm not using cm so I wouldn't know. Just a tidbit.
I did a search and pulled up nothing. My question is, is there a way to just set one wallpaper to work on all screens, so when you set scrolling wallpaper, it just scrolls to each side of the wallpaper??? The it's set up now, it puts a full wallpaper on each screen and stitches them all together, which kind of looks weird when you switch between them. If this can't be done, is there another app I can use or another way to get full screen wallpapers??
Anyone know.
Help someone???
can you re-explain your question.. im not understanding what it is that you are asking..
I have a live wallpaper that I have set.. and as I scroll the screen it stay right where it is.. no matter what I scroll to.
Yes you can. You need to disable transitions or animations. Have a dig through the live wallpaper settings and you should be able to find it.

Dig through the live wallpaper settings? Which ones? The ones in multi picture or are there some other wallpaper settings that I am unaware of? I am pretty sure that the OP was asking about getting a static wallpaper to span across all screens while also having the proper display resolution in both portrait and landscape mode. Something that is still evading me/us to this very day.
I really wish someone would come up with a fix for this.

That is what I am asking. When I set a non live wallpaper it wont allow scrolling wallpaper.
It sets a wallpaper for each screen and stitches them together.
I had same problem. Using ADW Launcher, went to adw settings and un-checked "allow wallpaper scrolling". Now just one wallpaper that my home screens scroll across.

Tried that, and then it doesn't scroll at all.
I'm having a problem with setting wallpapers. when i go into wallpaper selection mode from gallery, it opens up the crop box. No matter what part of the image choose within the box, when the wallpaper is set I get a zoomed in, further cropped version of what i had chosen, which pretty much looks pathetic. Any pointers on how I can get it to set correctly?
no idea, anyone?
It could be something to do with your launcher. Most launchers pan across the wallpaper as your scroll through different screens. Depending on the launcher you may be able to turn this feature off.

The same thing happens on my Galaxy Ace!!! I have no idea what to do anymore. >:/
Hi everyone, I didn't know exactly where to post this thread so if it needs moving I'm sorry. I made an 2160x1920 wallpaper for my HTC One because I was told that static wallpapers are 1080x1920. Copied it over to the device, set it as a wallpaper, everything worked fine except for one thing. The entire wallpaper doesn't show up. When I scroll, about 1/5 of it is horizontally cropped out from one side. It appears to be cropping in the "select wallpaper" screen because I can choose how much of each side it bites off by scrolling sideways.
I'm using CyanogenMod 11 and Nova Launcher if it makes a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my first custom wallpaper attempt and I just rooted and flashed a custom ROM for the first time yesterday.
Edit: The title is a little misleading, my bad
Figured it out, I just can't change wallpapers by going through settings-> themes-> wallpapers. It works when double tapping home button-> wallpaper-> gallery etc.
Title says it. I have a nice Nova Launcher setup on my S21 Ultra (TMobile), but every so often I would see a "Wallpaper applied successfully" while using an app and when I go back to the homescreen, my wallpaper changes to something else. The image doesn't even look like it's on my phone. I don't understand why it's doing this and I don't know how to stop it.
The dark themed image is what my display is intended to look, the other is what it'll change to. I thought Zedge was the culprit but no. I thought Samsung's wallpaper setting, doesn't seem to be that either. Any help would be appreciated. I'm willing to even factory reset my device

Do you have any other wallpaper apps installed? What makes you think it is Nova launcher applying the screen?
You might get logcat set up, and if you can make it reset the wallpaper, the log should tell you what is doing the reset.
I don't have that problem and I use nova launcher. I have a different wallpaper for the lock screen and another for the regular home screen
@GeekasaurusWrex what types of widgets are you using? I really like your setup.
I was using live wallpapers from Wallop and was having the same issue! But switched to a downloaded image and it hasn't happen since. I think it might be an all setting the wallpaper being the issue. Try to download it from the app and then let nova set it
