It's annoying that the homescreen wallpaper has to be cropped by landscape mode, is there a way i can crop a picture so it can be in portrait mode like the lockscreen way?
I belive "wallpaper plus" on the android market does what you want to do, but it costs 1.99 euros. it can "set wallpaper with out cropping" "set invididual imaes for each homescreen" which i think is what you want?

I got a problem. I've installed Hyperdroid1.7 on my energy rom HTC HD2. But it seems i cannot apply a whole wallpaper. When i select a wallpaper from the gallery ... i see the picture on full screen but there is a little crop window you stretch to only see a portion of the photo. Any ideas how can i fix this ?
Thx
This is normal. Select the whole picture.
Try "Wallpaper set and save" from the market (free). It's a much better way of setting wallpaper and fixes the colour & resolution issues that many people complain about.
I want to place a picture I took in portrait as my background. I turned off scrolling desktop assuming this would allow me to not have to crop the photo to a landscape picture, but it still askes me to crop it everytime. I thought maybe it was Go Launcher, but it has the same menu in all launcher so it is part of CM7/Android2.3.
Does anyone know how to add a full (top to bottom) picture as the background without having to crop? Thanks in advance!
Ok so I guess I should try google before I ask...so allow me to do the honors.

Hi guys, I'm new with XPERIA X8 and I was wondering is it possible to set a wallpaper image with 320x480 resolution?
Just edit the picture's size with a picture editor such as GIMP which is free and Photoshop.
Yes, but again when I go to Change wallpaper I get option to crop picture in portrait mode. Is it possible to have static wallpaper 320x480 and just to slide widgets?

Got it. If you are using launcherpro, go to preferences, appearence settings and tick "disable wallpaper scrolling". It should be the same for other launchers too.

Thought I'd post this here since people in phone specific forums don't know.. how this is the right place....
With all the flexibility that Android OS is supposed to have, one restriction that is really aggravating me is the wallpaper size contstraint...
Is there any way to get rid of the wallpaper size restriction? My goal basically is to able to make a wallpaper as wide as the amount of screens I have so that when I go to a different screen it looks like a different wallpaper. To see what i mean, take a wallpaper and use 2 home screens only. When you switch between the two, it loads a half of the wallpaper, so if you made one picture with 2 480x800 pictures, it would look like two seperate wallpapers. What I would like to do is use 3 home screens, and a wallpaper created by using 3 480x800 pictures (1440x800), but whenever I try to set a wallpaper it forces me to crop it to a 960x800 area. Can anyone chime in on if this is at all possible?
Thanks!
I believe that it is dependent on the Home Launcher you choose, but there are alternatives.

It does not appear launcher related. I now tried Launcher, Rosie (sense), ADW, GO Launcher, Zeam Launcher, Launcher Pro, and with all of them when you set the wallpaper it takes you through the default system for setting wallpapers, where you select the wallpaper and then get forced to crop it to a locked aspect ratio.
I'm looking for a way to either change that aspect ratio it forces you to crop your pictures to, or to get rid of it and let the damn picture show as is. I really don't understand how "the most customizable platform" has to have some stupid "this is the only size wallpaper you can use" restriction.
The multilivewallpaper will allow me to use a totally different 480x800 picture on each screen, but it doesn't have a random feature, which is what I really want...
Any devs out there know of a way to change the aspect ratio of that stupid crop tool for setting wallpapers? Or how to get rid of it?
EDIT: Just saw they updated it since last I used it and with multilive you can now have it randomly change. Thanks! Will give it a shot.
EDIT 2: Works like a charm! Never thought about going back to it, so thanks for linking it otherwise I probably would not even have bothered with it again.
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!
