Whenever i am applying a wallpaper from the wallpaper gallery (pre loaded ones) it is digital clear.
However any wallpaper i apply from the gallery seems to be slightly zoomed in.
I have tried this resolution: 1200x1024. It gives me the crop option, i select the entire image and apply it as a wall.
Can anyone help as to what is the issue, I cannot make head or tails of it, since its my first android device.
You're on the right track, it needs to be roughly twice the size of the horizontal resolution (viewed from portrait), same with all Android wallpapers
So in the case of the Tab, 1200x1024 images should work best. If your vertical resolution is larger than 1024, it may be changing the aspect ratio of the image a bit, which would make it appear zoomed.

How can i made a large pic to fit into the screen for wallpaper?
I tried to set some pics as my wallpaper but due to the size of the pic my screen only show parts of the pic instead of making the pics fit to screen.
though having the dimension of the image set to 800x480 is not the perfect size due to portions on top and bottom part are used by the toolbars, it works great.
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...
i made a wallpaper and made it 480x800 but when i try to set it as my wallpaper it make me select a small portion of the picture then it stretches that and make it the wallpaper. i can resize the selection but it maintains aspect ratio and still stretches it. is there way to just set the entire picture? or fit to screen?
The actual resolution, since sense pans the picture, is 960x800. I have no idea how to make it so the screen is fixed and you can just use 800x480. You can also drag the corners of the box to resize the part of the picture it uses
Download Wallpaper Set & Save on the market. Make a folder named Wallpapers on your SD card. Load it w/ wallpapers(.png files for better resolution) then launch the WS&S app and choose a pic. It'll do the rest for you. Hope this helps....

I just recently bought a Samsung vibrant from t-mobile and i want to set a background of a photo. At first it tells me to crop a certain part of the photo then expands it and looks all pixelated. I searched around and theres this app called "wallpaper set and save" which didnt set the whole image as the background. is there any way of setting a full image as a background and the phone auto adjusts?

Android lets you crop the picture when it's too big. If you touch the edges of the crop square, and drag it out, you can change the size of the cropped area, you might be able to drag it out all the way to encompass the entire image. Also, it shouldn't be pixellating the image unless the resolution is way low, like 170x200 low.

if u want them to fit PERFECT the Image has too be 960x800 i will be makin wallpapers so stay tuned -----here are some of my other i tweaked for the MT3g & Nexus but i was making the nexus 50 pixels larger instead of 960x800 i was making them 960 x850

the image is bigger than the full crop window. so when i try to crop it it crops half the photo and expands it to fit the full screen therefore making it pixelated. its a photo that wasnt taken by the phone btw.
I'm having the same problem. I downloaded some 480x800 wallpapers and when I try to set the wallpaper, it asks me to crop part of the image and does not let you encompass the whole the thing. How are you supposed to set the wallpaper?
As stated above, make the image 960*800.

Ahhh, I see. It works now, thanks a lot!
I still find the whole cropping thing a pain. I had images set at 960X800 but the cropping tool never lets me select it properly. I either end up with a small black band at the top and bottom or I have to under size it. I found this on the Market that lets you just set the image without cropping and it works on the Vibrant: "Application Utility".

Then you're doing it wrong.
960 wide
800 tall
crop to 100%
done.

i have yet to crop anything and have a wide array of resolutions so far. Wallpaper set and save. get it.
Just downloaded wallpaper that I would like on my phone, however when I go into gallery I select the "Set as" > "Wallpaper" it gives me a little crop box to crop the image. I move the crop box as far as I can, however the box keeps the aspect ratio. I wish not to keep this ratio and display the whole image as I see it in gallery, not just part of it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Any pic I use...it never lets me select the whole image.
see attached pic i did as an example...no matter what i try it wont let me select whole image
? any ideas?
cheers
matt
what size is the pic?
ideally you want it to be 960x800 if not just resize it in photoshop or similar
Like Richy said, you'll have to resize. Due to the way Android scrolls the wallpaper left & right as you switch screens, it keeps the same aspect ratio within the current boundaries of your selected image. If you want that exact wallpaper, you'll have to resize the pic, and end up with that full pic in the middle, with something on either side to make up the difference, like a plain color. Or, try to find that wallpaper already made for Android.
If you upload the original pic, I'll happily fix it for you.
