[Q] WHY cant we set a full photo to a wallpaper? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i hate the cropping feature in Android 4.2
i hate the way i have to edit a photo to set as wallpaper
why cant they bring the wallpaper features used in Gingerbread?
Anyways, is there any app i could use to over ride this and be able to set a full photo without cropping as wallpaper?
Thank YOU

I have yet to figure out the new cropping thing with photos, I hate the grid! Try "wallpaper wizardrii" from the play store.

Second this. App works wonderfully and the author of the program was quick to get back to me with a couple questions I had. I bought the full version as a result.

I... figured it out the other day, I think. If the problem you're having is the dimensions... Well, maybe this will help.

Then you should be able to drag those however you want!

*Edit*
Okay... Got it... I'm on the fence about it.. I need to live a day or two with it. Seems very niche driven... Not for even regular facebook users... Comes across as unnecessary at this point.
Ι have just uninstalled it.
Well it was impressive, but not for an everyday launcher. It lacks basic features and functionality in comparison with Nova i.e.
I think that it makes our phone to sort of lose its originality and "feeling", I don't know how else to put it. Anyway I'm not really that into facebook so I may be missing some of the stuff that Fb Home has to give.
Thanks to the OP in any case

did they really mean for this to replace a launcher?
I think the concept diminishes the purpose of a device like the note 2. But each to their own I guess

weird.
try uninstalling the app, reboot, then reinstall it.
I asked the same question a few weeks back, no download option was showing for me also. It is now, Try going under your Google plus accounts settings , under photos check allow viewer's to download photos, I thinks that's how I was able to download them. You have to go to the actual website not the app, hope it helps,

WIFI HACK

Do anyone know the app that can successfully hack wifi password.If possible kindly comment the link also.
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
To crack a WiFi password you need to use packet injection, which your phone isn't capable of doing. There is no app for this.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
There's not an app to do that. You can however run backtrack through a Linux emulator. I think the app is called complete Linux installer, and there's a guide on how to run backtrack on there for testing WiFi security.
easier to sneak into neighbors house and press the WPS button on their router haha
Pay for your own internet, thief! (or go to starbucks)
The Nokia N900 used to be pretty good little security tool for hacking! Google it! Sure you can still pick them up for a reasonable price! Should have kept mine

Illegal activities are not condoned on this forum for obvious reasons. If you're testing your own security, that's a different story. You need monitor mode at least, which has been tested on some chipsets, but not this one I believe.

The FCC is on their way to your house........Quick run.
There are lots of apps for hacking wifi but you must delete the stupid protection files that prevent you from doing so. Root your phone, then use root explorer to navigate to /system and /data
Delete all those files and reboot, then I'll instruct you on the rest. You're welcome

Btw, for best results, try overcolocking your CPU. 5ghz gives the best results. The phone may be hot but the wifi crack will work 100%

The PC gurus are saying that if one cap letter and one symbol is used in a seven characters password then it would take 20 years on the most powerful pc to crack that password.
