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.

Hey guys, just wondering is it normal that the image in the background is sooooooo pale? This is the first time I've put a pic on the desktop instead of the theamed image and the picture is almost invisible. Any comments?
Select the picture you want to use as your background. It will open in the Picture Viewer. Tap "Menu > Set as Today Background". Setting the transparency of the picture to 0% will make it show up UNfaded.
Effn eh?! My nick should be newbie.
Thanks a lot though
how do you make a background pic of your own? what size does it need to be and how to put it in the phone?
it needs to be 240x320 (portait) and it can be anywhere on the phone, you just select it in the theme menu (at th ebottom there is an option to set bg image)
the thing i've been trying to figure out is how to have a different picture for landscape and portrait (or to have it rotate my portrait pic, instead of showing part of it then starting over)
did some more searching after i posted this and check this link out

you can make your own themes with this and there is a dude that does a you tube tutorial for it....pretty cool
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

image 2 wallpaper, select advanced from the options menu, worked a treat for me
Honestly, I'm not really sure why this has to be so difficult. There seems to be a million different ways to set a scrolling wallpaper.
First let me tell my setup. I'm using Nova Launcher and I force it to remain in landscape mode, so when I'm on my home screen it won't rotate. This should make setting my wallpaper easier. I just need wallpaper for landscape.
I basically want to get a wallpaper that's 5300x1600 and I want it to be DOT-BY-DOT on my background. In theory this wallpaper should never have to be cropped since the resolution is basically 2 nexus 10 screens side by side. The number of pages I have on my homescreen should simply only determine how far the wallpaper shifts each time I move to another page. Less pages means greater shift.
However, no matter how I set the wallpaper, it always seems to crop completely randomly and wrong. For example, the Nova wallpaper setter has a strange cropping indicator (looks like a fat cross) that makes no sense, and the background ends up looking huge (cropped too much) and doesn't shift much when I move to the left and right through screens.
Can anyone help me find the perfect way to setup my scrolling wallpaper? Thanks.
i dont know about scrolling...but you can use simple image wallpaper to use a static image without cropping and it sets it as a live wallpaper even though its not but works perfectly

I've had TONS of trouble with using the Gallery to set my wallpaper due to cropping. On the other hand, I THINK QuickPic worked well but its been years since I've used that. Well, A year.

Use nova launcher, edit this wallpaper you got with paint, change the resolution to 2560x1600. Set this wallpaper with nova and it will be DOT-BY-DOT on your background. You can't do it with 5300x1600.
The fat cross is for the landscape preview (the horizontal bar of the cross) and the portrait preview (the vertical one).
I'm using Nova and I look for wallpapers that are around 4000x2000 so that when I crop, it fits around the tablet's resolution without losing quality.
Basically the highlighted portions in the cross will be the background of the primary home screen. It'll shift left and right as you scroll. It's not at all complicated, not even from Gallery. It's quite easy to operate.

I selected a photo from my gallery as the lockscreen. I don't want it any more but I cannot remove it. I just want the Wallpaper Carousel to work like it used to. But even after switching Wallpaper Carousel 'on', the image keeps returning after every second photo. Please help.
