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!

When I use gallery/select/set as/wallpaper and crop as necessary, the displayed wallpaper is always larger than what I cropped to so not all of it shows up, hope that makes sense
What am I doing wrong?
I can't answer your question about how to crop your images for wallpaper, but I use the Mulitipicture Live Wallpaper app and it shows (and rotates) my photos so that they fit the screen.
ok, will have a look at that.

Great tip! Nice app sorts out the issue with wallpapers like it a lot.
I know that the screen is 1280x800, but if I download pictures at that size, I end up cropping parts off when choosing a wallpaper. Does anyone know what resolution our wallpapers can be?

I normally load a wall paper from my browser by holding my finger on it for about 3 seconds in browser (not chrome) rather then saving it and using the wallpaper selector. That way you don't need to crop.

by default, the wallpaper is a scrolling wallpaper. so if its anything like my galaxy note, you'll want 1280x1600 to allow for full scrolling.
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
You may have to use this:

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.

Hi,
I am trying to set an image as my homescreen wallpaper. However, when I choose "Set as Wallpaper," it brings me to a cropping screen where I have to select a portion of the image as the wallpaper. As a result, the portion that I select is chosen as the wallpaper, resulting in a zoomed/blurry/pixelated wallpaper.
Is there anyway I can use the whole image as a wallpaper? I tried using images of all resolutions from 1280x800 to 1920x1080. Yet, I have to crop the image in all attempts.
Thanks
Download quickpic and try using it for the wallpaper.

You can also try using Multi picture live wallpaper or custom launcher like Nova, Apex etc

Hi, STXInnovation...
Not all wallpapers (images) will crop exactly according to the screen metrics of the Nexus 7... it depends on the images dimensions; usually you have to put up with a compromise... (1280x1024 seems to be the optimal).
You can edit the image (scale it) with something like Photo Editor, but it's a lot of messing round, and there is usually some lossage (resolution) in the saved result.
As alluded to by both @redmonke255 and @ashik992, a combination of an alternative launcher (like Apex), and QuickPic will afford you more wallpaper cropping options then with the stock launcher or gallery.
---------------------------------
Personally, I've never been a big fan of scrolling wallpapers on the Nexus 7 anyway... used primarily in portrait mode, I prefer static wallpapers. On a 10" inch tablet, used in landscape mode, scrolling wallpapers looks terrific.
So, on my Nexus 7, here's I how set up my wallpaper...
In Apex Launcher settings, there is an option called 'Wallpaper Mode', for which you can set 'Single Screen (non-scrolling)'... then with QuickPic, select (and load) your chosen wallpaper, and then choose 'Set as... (QuickPic Wallpaper)' from the menu... a moveable/re-sizeable cropper box will appear of the same screen dimensions as the Nexus 7. Hit the tick button in the top right hand corner..., and your wallpaper will be set accordingly.
This is just one possible setup out of many... so it's worth tinkering until you find something you're happy with.
Finally, PicSpeed HD Wallpapers is also worth looking into; as well as offering a veritable cornucopia of excellent wallpapers for download, it also provides good cropping abilities, which can be accessed directly from QuickPic with any images you happen to have stored on your Nexus 7.
----------------------------------
Hope this helps, and gives you some pointers.

The Nexus can take several wallpaper sizes.
Stock, the wallpaper size should be 1600x1280. That is, 1600 width, 1280 height.
If you install simple image wallpaper (free), you can use 800x1280 or 1280x800 images as well (for portrait, and landscape, respectively).
If you're using nova launcher, by default, it will accept 1920x1280 and 800x1280 sized images without cropping.
If you want to scale an image, I recommend using supersampling in paint.NET.
