is there anyway to make it display the image used normally, not enlarged? because i'm using the same image as the wallpapers and the lockscreen one is bigger.

they kind of screwed up when making this change. if you change the lockscreen wallpaper by using the plus icon in the top right, you'll only be able to use the stock wallpapers. however, if you go into settings->screen->wallpaper(or something like that, I don't have my tab on me), you'll only be able to pick from images in your gallery. you should be able to do either in both places but.. oh well
I was frustrated by the lack of lockscreen wallpapers until I discovered that if you go to the Gallery app, and select a photo, you can set it as your lock screen background using the Gallery settings menu.
Is there anyway I can just use the wallpaper I download without cropping?
I tried wallpaper slideshow but it like locked up when I set it up and when it applies wallpaper its shifted way to the right and part of the background is dark.
Any help thanks!
Did you try Multipicture Live wallpaper app?
I used the app called wallpaper wizardri. Just try to look for a picture of resolution (1200x800) i believe.
Google wiffed on the wallpapers having to be cropped, which i believe is bs and another pain users have to hurdle through.
Should I resize the image before trying to set it?

You dont really have too, you either will be resizing it in honeycomb when you crop it but if you do it then, the resolution would suck
Wallpaper size
Hi
I found that to have crisp unpixelted wallpapers I needed to get a much bigger image than I though as it needs to work both vertical / horizontal.
So i ended up downloading huge pictures to make it work - 1200x1920
^^ completely agree. This will give you the best results. Even over an app.

miltipicture live wallpaper is the best bet. if you cant figure it out pm me and ill walk you through it.
Hi Guys,
I want to know if there is any app to set/display the home screen wallpaper as it is (i.e. without stretching the wallpaper).
Currently I am using Multi-Live Wallaper to do so, but it makes my ARC a bit laggy..any other better alternatives.
EDIT: use WALLPAPER WIZZARDRII
Custom launchers (GO, ADW...) have the option to disable the wallpaper scrolling.

I think your only options are to make custom pages yourself with the set dimensions so it doesnt stretch out; or download a wall paper app, the one that i'm using is HD wallpapers, and when you find the one you want, they give you several wallpaper settings; 1 page, 2 page or full. So in theory, you are not stretching it out. Its hard to explain but give that app a try or make your own custom wallpaper with the proper dimensions.

I use QuickPic from Market. You have the choise between "scrollable wallpaper" and only "one screen". Works a treat ...

You realize the full screen includes the side home screens to the left and right of the main home screen? Did you swipe over to the sides to see the rest of the image?

Use a third party launcher like Apex or Nova. There is a setting that will allow the wallpaper to all be on screen and not move when scrolling.

Or, create your own wallpaper with that image in the center and black or something else to either side.
Not quite sure what I'm missing, but I can't get my wallpaper to scale correctly. It is consistently zoomed in such that what should be a really crisp, beautiful wallpaper (such as to those bundled with CM 10.1), is instead fuzzy around the edges. I've tried messing with both my launcher (Apex) settings and my developer settings, but to no avail. Any help? What more information should I provide?

Use something like quickpic or wallpaper wizardii or my preferred simple image wallpaper not sure why this always happens but don't fret just use an app and itll scale down properly

I have the same experience, QuickPic provides sharper wallpapers than standard Gallery. Use it to set your wallpaper (otherwise I think the default gallery is better for viewing photos (smoother))
Simple Image Wallpaper Free from the play store works great and very easy to use. if you decide to use it, you wont find with the other apps. long press the screen, hit live wallpaper, and there it is. after that its easy

Im using it but I dont like that you cant choose that the wallpaper doesnt move. When I set the wallpaper, it scales good, but on the homescreen only, on the other screens I have to choose a colour to be shown because the image doesn't cover all the homescreens. Hope you understood me, sorry for my english.
i also found simple image wallpaper free to provide the best visual quality. i especially enjoy its ability to define completely different images for landscape and portrait orientations. that is a stylish effect, and it is very unexpected (compared to usual themes).
somehow, wallpaper wizardrii and other apps which use an image instead of a live wallpaper provoke my n10 to occasionally reset the background to that ugly green leaf... i don't know if anyone has already fixed this since the last time i checked.
Multipicture live wallpaper let's you set any amount of pictures to rotate as the background or you can set a single picture... Works great with no crazy android zooming

Make sure your wallpaper is sized properly for the launcher you are using. If you are using the stock launcher, the wallpaper should be 3966x2560. This will fit your wallpaper perfectly in the 5 home screens...with the center of the image being in the main home screen.
I tried Simple Image wallpaper but could not stand the fact that it always runs and uses 13 MB of RAM. Great program just hate that it needs to run all the time.

Hmmm. I killed the process and the wallpaper disappeared so I assumed it needed to run as long as I wanted the wallpaper to fit perfectly. I will try that thanks for the tip. Weird that leaving it installed but killing it didn't work.....

Ah my mistake. It still does reset. Must have been one of the other wallpaper apps I tried that I was able to do that with

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder, it's just setting the wallpaper (you can uninstall it) but it does it properly. Maybe even with some sharpening, I don't know. The result is simply good.
Search ”image 2 wallpaper” on the play store. Works perfectly for me.
