Not sure if anyone else has had the problem, but I downloaded the wallpaper app Flikie HD. It was cropping the wallpapers too much and the wallpapers ending up looking crappy so I uninstalled. Now when I go to set ANY wallpaper it doesn't let me crop the picture to the proper resolution. The green crop box is really narrow and not very tall at all. Any way to fix this problem? Any help is appreciated!
You can adjust the size of the green crop box...
I know, the green box doesn't get very big. It gets wide but not tall. Very narrow.

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 the wallpaper size for the Desire? Want to make my own Pioneer CDJ one I've used on all my phones of late...and where do you save them once done?
I think its 960X800 same as Nexus One.
Nice one my friend - will confirm once I've had a play about
Why do any pics you set as wallpaper (even in 960 x 800) are so much more zoomed in??? Is there a way to rectify this?
Yeah, just try dragging one of the corners of the crop rectangle, you'll be able to set them at full size
nice, that solve it, hehehe. thanks
I was checking zedge.net and found the wallpapers were posted there all of so small resolution. At first I thought it was the 480*800 resolution but then found the HD2 walls were right, but not Desire's. Why?
Its because as you swipe through the screens the wallpaper moves. I don't have a problem with them
While you're right about the wallpaper moving, the Zedge files are oversized. Try to set a standard wallpaper using the built-in function, not Zedge. You'll be brought to a screen with a crop rectangle that you can move around the picture, to select what will be shown on the screen. The crop is significantly smaller than the actual image.
The problem is... even the HTC original wallpapers are too large, as well. I don't think it's a Zedge-only issue. I wonder how the N1 handles standard wallpapers...

Try giving that crop rectangle a pull at one of the corners or sides.
Thanks for the tip, I had no idea you could resize the crop rectangle
Well... I guess that leaves just Zedge acting weirdly...
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. -.-
So I'm trying to find out how I can make a wallpaper fit (non-scrollable) portrait style. I'm not sure how to properly word what I'm looking for but I hope these screen captures can help get my point across.
The "want" picture is what I would my wallpaper to be. It fits the screen perfectly without having to crop anything. This works on other android devices but not on stock Android.
The "dont want" picture is what happens when I try to make that picture my wallpaper. It has me crop the pic with the height that I DO NOT want.
Is there a way I can have a wallpaper that will work the way I want it. I don't mind if it doesn't scroll. In fact I prefer it doesn't. Thanks for any help!
install Wallpaper Wizardrii
Yeah, wallpaper wizardrii will do it
