Solution to avoid cropping wallpaper

For all of those asking this question i have found a solution. In android market download the free live wallpaper "multi picture" you may find it by simply typing live wallpapers in the search bar. When you go to set the live wallpaper click settings and change the picture source to the the image you desire and set the transition effect to none, then be sure the pic size is set to full screen. This will give you any full image as a solid background with no resize or cropping needed.

I am not sure if it is when you are running stock. I am running tabooney custom rom which is deodexed and has several tweaks including kernel tweaks. It doesnt slow anything on mine. All i can suggest to you is to be sure that transition effects is set to none within the settings menu of the live wallpaper itself.

Nice App
Great Tip
It even puts a different desktop on each screen. I love this app.
Thanks Much

Another way of doing it is with Wallpaper Wizardii:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&feature=search_result
The app works only in portrait here but sets the wallpapers just as it should. You can select for the wall to be scrollable or not plus other fine tuning options.

Thanked for the tip, the wallpaper scaling was just downright horrible before

App for changing lock screen wallpaper automatically.

Hello
I'm looking for an app which will change the lock screen wallpaper automatically. I tried the "Wallpaper Changer" from market. But it changes the home screen Wallpapers only. Any app there for lock screen? also I want to use the native lock screen itself. Thanx!

Why don't you try Settings>Display>Screen Display>Lock Screen Wallpaper

or you can go to a image the press the edit button and choose set as lock screen.

At least read the damn post!
The guy is asking for something that automatically changes the wallpaper, I would asume at a predefined or even random time.
@OP
I dont know of any app only for home screen wallpapers though, sorry cant be much of a help.

Yes I know how to change it manually. But wanted it auto like every few minutes or whenever I unlock the screen which would have been cool to look at different lock screen Wallpapers everytime u look at the screen
well thanx guys. Hope someone will make an app for this!

I use flikie HD to change my homescreen wallpaper, then I choose the lock screen option to change the picture to my wallpaper.which means it changes as per the schedule i set on flikie

Hi,
You can probably do that with "Tasker" but this is not the cheapest app

You can definitely do this with Tasker. As stated though not the cheapest app if this is the only thing you'll use it for. Steep learning curve too. Still, its an option.

It will be nice to select the photo automatically from an local album or even better from Picasa.

Hi guys, try "Hi Locker" from Lockdown Team. You can change it every 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.

Hubs on ICS with Nova or Stock launcher

Hey Guys,
Has anyone managed to get the Hub look, ie. Multiple Live Wallpaper, etc. Working with Nova or the Stock launcher? If so, what settings did you use? I'm trying but can't get it working.

For me multi live wallpaper is working fine with stock launcher.....
Add 5 different wallpaper from the screen settings and in the advanced settings use "force 5 screens"....

Got it working, thanks for that.
All I need now is to be able to do what ADW lets you do and that's be able to link to other screens with a widget and then I'm set!

Let me know if you figure out a nice way to do this

Where do you find that option for advanced screen settings? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Not adding from home screen or changing from display settings menu.

you need to install "Multi Live Wallpaper" from market. This app has advanced screen settings.

How to get an HD Widgets widget on the lock screen of 4.2?

Hey guys, I unfortunately upgraded to 4.2 and want to get rid of that awful clock on the lock screen. From what I've heard, you can get an HD Widgets widget on the lock screen and I want to do so, but I have literally no idea as to how to do so.
Can anyone help?

On the lock screen swipe right until you see the plus sign, tap on it and the unlock your screen the option for HD widget should be there if you have it installed!

When I swipe to the right, the clock tilts, but nothing else appears (the animation is similar to when you try to swipe to a homescreen but the one you're on is the last one, so it just stops).

I have also tried to add HD Widgets to the lock screen but when I swipe all the way to the plus sign it's greyed out and I cannot do anything other than log in. Strange.
Before I installed HD Widgets, I could click the + sign and I had the option to add the clock and a few other widgets.

This baffled me for a bit too.
You have to go into HD Widgets Settings>Widget sizes and enable lockscreen.

Okay, thanks. So I've enabled lockscreen, but when I go to the lockscreen, it still won't let me swipe at all.

Meaning you don't see the white line/box along the left at all when the screen starts up?

Already tried that myself, infact mine was already ticked for tablets, unticked for phones, so perhaps the latest version detects a tablet.
Anyway, this didn't work for me either. I can swipe to the plus sign, then that is about all I can do.

How did you guys get to 4.2? You might try reflashing the OTA.

OTA update. And it solved the issue. I had the lockscreen state to disallow widgets. I'm dumb.

How do you set the lock screen to disallow widgets? Do I have to be rooted? I hate those widgets.

[Q] Change Lockscreen Background?

I haven't been able to figure out how to change the lockscreen wallpaper/background or add any widgets to the lockscreen. From reading "tips and tricks" generally applicable to most versions of the Note 3, it appears to me that Verizon has limited our lockscreen options compared to the other carriers. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
I have to say, this is frustrating, since I'm used to rooting and flashing ROMs that give me so much customization. That said, this phone is a beast!

Settings>Display>Wallpaper
You can change home screen...lock screen or both.
Settings>Lock screen > Multiple widgets...turn on
Success!

That option is only available if you use swipe as your unlock method. Unfortunately, they remove that option when you select any type of 'secure' lock method.
