Dear Friends,
Just installed SPB Mobile Shell 3. Its amazing software. Now when i use lifestyle mode the wallpaper (background picture) gets zoomed in and i can see just part of it. To view the entire picture i have to scroll the wallpaper with finger left to right or right to left. But not able to see the full wallpaper on the screen. I am using wallpaper size 640 X 480 resolution. Also tried different wallpapers but it automatically zooms the picture.
Now this doesn't make any sense as we cant see the full wallpaper.
Please help on how to make wallpaper to appear full on the lifestyle layout.
Regards,
Vishal

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but I set a picture to be my wallpaper and realised that at the home screen, it looks very blur. I checked the width and height of the picture and it is 480x800. Also when I view the picture in the photo gallery, it is much much sharper, like what it supposed to be.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks!
ave a look in the themes an apps section. 480 x 800 will show up unless you follows a guide on how to make it come up crystal.
Just do a search for Wallpaper Guide

I just tested my phone and no probs all wallpapers or pictures look great
Can I ask how you selected your wallpaper?
Was it through settings wallpaper?
or another method
I've also noticed this as some pics transfer fine and clear to the wallpaper and some look enlarged and blurry. I'm thinking it's the larger screen size vs. the pic resolution size. My pro at 2.8" was not an issue. It hasn't bothered me enough to seek a fix, I'm using mobile shell and selecting the change image option. Ureka!! thats it, the shell! Doh!!! just my $.02

yeah i had a diamond before this and the wallpapers looked great there.
but the funny part is that the pics look great and sharp when viewed in the photo gallery, but only becomes blur when used as wallpaper.
OH and they don't look enlarged lol. the wallpapaer keeps the size, but it's really blur.
Just use the search button and read the wiki, this is another one of those topics that have been done to death, there's heaps of information on it.
what's wallpaper size for android rom on HD2 ?
Hi i think it is 960x480.
If the File has this size there is no need for scaling by Android.
Send from my [email protected] 2.2
If u want full wvga, its 480x800.
if u want ur wallpaper to span across more than 1 screen, its 960x800
But when I choose Home wallpaper, the picture are still cut, stretch
This was bugging me for the longest time and I've finally found the solution. Only way i've been able to get wallpapers to fit without cropping issues(where android zooms into the cropped section) is to use 960x800, this will however make the wallpaper span across all the screens.
Yes, IMO the best resolution is 980x800, there is an option in Launcher Pro though, if you prefer the screen stay still so the image on your home screen stays static.
Launcher Pro > Appearance Settings > Disable wallpaper scrolling.
Problem is kinda hard to find 980, don't use Google or a bunch of porn pops up when you search for exactly 980x800. There was a forum somewhere here on xda that someone posted like 50+ wallpapers all 980x800, can't remember where it's at though =\
Hi,
Can someone please tell me when getting wallpapers for my homescreen which screen resolution i should be using?
Reason why is i downloaded some from zedge.net and before hand choose my mobile so it only showed wallpapers that are compatible with my phone.
They are 240 x 320. When i choose to set as homescreen wallpaper it shows a box on top of image althou i adjust the box to it's max the whole image is not within the box so ends up only the image that is within the white box is showing.
I am confused as i have some nice wallpapers but i can't benefit from them as the full image is not shown.
Can someone please advise what resolution i should be downloading them in or should i be doing something on the phone before hand to the image?
Thanks

Use dodol wallpaper maker or wallpaper set and save. I usually have wallpapers of 320x480, 480x640 or 640x960.
Hi,
Thanks Dodol Wallpaper Maker has saved the day
Thanks
I make my wallpapers 480x320 in .png and they always work perfectly, and I'm always able to select them fully when cropping.
So, with my Fascinate, whenever I try to place a wallpaper, it brings up the cropping tool. But the cropping tool is a square. I turned off wallpaper scrolling, so cropping my screen size by eye using the square is difficult. Is there a tool that let's me crop to native 480x800 or whatever the Fascinate is without using the square?

If you get the Wallpaper Set and Save app, it should fix your issue. Best wallpaper app I've found.
Well... I kinda want something that let's me crop in a rectangular format.
If you're finding the image online, long-press it and select "Set as wallpaper". No cropping necessary
If I want something offcenter, though... I need rectangular crop.
I always crop my wallpapers on my computer first. I highly recommend the GIMP (google it). The crop tool will allow you to crop any image to the exact dimensions you specify.

+1. Gimp is great.
I use GIMP. What's the dimensions of the Fascinate?

That's if you have the moving wallpaper thing enabled. My whole issue is because I don't. :/
No, the full wallpaper is 960x800. A single screen is 480x800. Although, using a picture of that size still opens the crop tool. You'll need to find an alternate way to set the wallpaper other than long-pressing the home screen.
Edit: I just modified an existing pic I had that was 480x800 and set it in the middle of a 960x800 layer. Choosing it through the normal method and cropping it to the entire pic, gave me a full screen wallpaper in portrait mode. When it flips to landscape, you see an extra 160 pixels on each side, but if you get creative, you can make that look good as well.
Is there an app that I can crop to 480x800 and use WSS to set it, no problem?
There are couple of photo editing apps that crop, PicSay and Photoshop Mobile come to mind. I tried setting a 480x800 pic with WSS, but it expanded it to cover landscape mode and it looked terrible.
I guess you could try a 800x800 wallpaper. That would cover both modes. With movable wallpaper turned off, it would show the middle 480 pixels width-wise and the full 800 length in portrait. In landscape, the full 800 width will show along with the top 480 pixels.
Ah. I don't use landscape, either.
Damn, wish this was easier. They should just make the crop tool a friggin' rectangle. -.-
how to set full screen wallpaper on Galaxy Tab 10.1 ?
i have 1280*800 wallpapers and try... I don't want to crop my wallpaper
i'm already try to search but no answer. Thx.
Go to the Market and download Wallpaper Wizardrii
It will allow you to set an image without having to crop it like the Gallery does.
It will also allow you to set the image as scrollable or static.

i tried wizardii and selecto no scrool but its auto crop my wallpaper (1280*800) i wanna direct set full wallpaper.
try multi picture live wallpaper it handles some wallpapers quite well without having to manually resize/crop them.
i dont live wallpaper. only static wallpaper.
Make your picture 1920x1200 or something like this and not 1280x800 because Android would need bigger picture because of scrolling.

multi picture live wallpaper app handles static pictures also. i am using it to put separate 1280*800 picture for each screen
What they don't tell you
I have looked at this for a little while and still can't seem to get it to work as I would like it to.
I found my wallpapers were cropped while rotating screens.
With the launcher and the wizardii wallpaper I set the landscape wallpaper while the device is in portrait mode and use set Stretch Landscape.
Using a static wallpaper and the scroll off.
It still appears to crop a little but you will have a full screen image in Landscape and portrait modes (like the 5 native wallpapers when you use the default wallpaper settings).
Simple Image Wallpaper Free is all you need. It's in the Google Play store and its awesome. Forget Wallpaper Wizardrii, it's garbage.

Brought this thread back from the dead just to thank you for this recommendation! Downgraded my Note Pro 12.2 to KitKat so I could root, and the cropping wallpaper problem reared its ugly head. Tried all kinds of screwy apps and supposed solutions before finding your recommendation. It's been perfect for a week now, including reboots. Thanks again!
