Wallpaper question - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have some jpeg's downloaded via the Nexus browser. When I go to set the picture as wallpaper, I can never get the full image to be the wallpaper, instead I have to crop it or whatever its called.
Is there any way possible to get the full picture to be my background? If so, how?
Thank you,
Whiteice

Setting wallpaper from Album Slideshow

Have you tried setting the wallpaper through the Album? I'm fond of using the slideshow in viewing pictures because pictures look better in slideshow view, right?
Now, i want it to be set as wallpaper from the slideshow mode, is that possible? it just looks good in slideshow mode, and i want the wallpaper to look just as how it is displayed in slideshow mode. Is it possible?
sounds like the slideshow thingy have a better resizing algotitme then just using today picture have
i sugest that you take the picture to your pc and work on it there with resizing and such and take it back to the xda and use it as "wallpapir"
the slideshow on the device cant do anything "magic" which programs on a pc cant do much better
Thanks rudegar,
Whats the image size of XDA wallpaper/screen (pixels/inch)? So lets say I already have edited it on my PC and uploaded back to XDA. how will I set it as wallpaper? the last time I used the Today option, it made my picture translucent, why is that? is there any feature there where we could stretch the wallpaper to fit the screen?
there is some registry setting which remove the translucent thing
i dont recall it though try search the forum
i would try some of the today theme creator programs they make it all pretty easy

How to set full screen wallpaper Galaxy Tab 10.1 ?

how to set full screen wallpaper on Galaxy Tab 10.1 ?
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!

[Q] How can I make an image from Google my wallpaper?

Lets say I do a Google image search for "New England Patriots logo" and I want it to be my wallpaper. I download an image and it's all distorted/blurry/doesn't fit once I try and make it my homescreen wallpaper on my GS4. How do I so to make it good quality and fit the screen? Thanks!

If I remember correctly, the size you want for the image is 1920x1080.
You can always d/l an image to your computer, resize it and them transfer it to your phone then set it as your wallpaper

Yes that's what I was talking... computer to phone. Thanks brotha, will try this out using irfranview!
I really like this Wallpaper Maker app from the playstore. You can resize and center you picture how you want, and use it to help put together collages. Once you save it it should fit your screen perfectly. I use it all the time.
Check it out.

[Q] How to resize pictures for backgrounds.

I am wondering how to resize pictures so that I can get the full picture into my background instead of having to crop it. Anyone have any ideas?
nvm found an app called multipicture live wallpaper that does it perfectly.
I use Image Shrink Lite - thus I never used it to change the current size to a non-ratio one

S View location on S5

Hello,
Any one know where are located/stored, s view wallpapers?
I've take a picture and put it as s view wallpaper. Now, I want to change that wallpaper (that I can do!) and eliminate that particular image.
But I don't find the location of s view wallpaper to eliminate that file.
Can someone help me?
Thanks,

IT picks up from the gallery, if you change your wallpaper in s-view doesn't it disappear?

Noops...
If you delete it from gallery, photo file is deleted but "wallpaper file" don't disappear.
That happens too with Wallpaper from lock screen and home screen.
I grab a picture from gallery and put it in home screen wallpaper. Then, I deleted that pic and the home screen wallpaper remains.
Afterwards I deleted home screen wallpaper and all worked fine to that part.
But in S View wallpaper I'm not able to delete that file...
So, can anyone help?
Thanks,
P
