Hey XDA.
I've had an issue latlley regarding my Nexus 7, whenever I set a wallpaper, no matter if it's a living wallpaper or just and ordinary high-res image, the wallpaper gets scaled down extreamly and looks like crap. The issue started after I installed 'Gyrospace 3D' (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.starfieldLWPFree) and I have the same issue on my HTC Sensation, aswell after installing the same app, thats actually what made me relize the app came with the isuee. Heres what i tried to do to resolve it:
1. Uninstall the app
2. Change launcher
3. Wallpapyrus app, Wallpaper Setter app
4. Other Wallpaper apps
5. Restarting devices
How can I resolve this stupid issue? I issume theres some value the app changed wich makes all wallpapers be very very scaled down, and even if i choose as big as possible, it stays zoomed in when set.
Id love to if anyone can help me, a solution that aint factory reset obviously. Thanks in advance, and warnings for that stupid app.
I'll try a little bump and hope someone has an idea how to resolve this! Thanks
Use quickpic to set a wallpaper, available in the market. When it ask you which gallery to use to set the wallpaper, pick quickpic and it will use the full picture and not make you crop a section. Hope this helps.

Clear cache or reinstall the app and mess with the settings to see if it has an option to disable the cropping or whatever the hell it's doing?

Wow... Awesome solution. I've been really hating how gallery crops photo's to look like crap.
Quick pic loading app too. Will be replacing my gallery for sure!
Now.... Just wondering as I haven't been on the up and up on apps...
Since using original HTC incredible Google has had issues with high rez contact pics when callers call. Still have that issue... Is there app to fix that too?

I tried, theres simly no settings for this **** app..
Syncmypix works well for making higher res call pictures, but it is for Facebook pics. As long as most of your contacts are synced through Facebook then you won't have a problem.

If your just setting a static wallpaper, you have to open quickpic, select your pic then set as, then crop using quickpic. If you use the long press method from the home screen it will force you to crop the normal way.

I use the 3d pic live wallpaper app by the same developer as the gyro space LW and it works beautifully.

Ye, I used quickpick to set the wallpaper, the image is still insanly craopped down. its like zoomed in so much the pixels are 5x5mm or smth.
Don't know if this app will help you or not but check out wallpaper wizardii in the play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii

This mod will bring the following changes to your CM10 Android 4.1.2 ROM:
Notification Panel:
-Bottom blue glow 'fading animation' (Like my ICS mod)
-Better carrier label text size
-Didn't give transparent this time, I think black looks beautiful
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Lockscreen:
-Option to chose normal lockscreen or Linkin Park lockscreen, both have AOKP weather icons (Like my ICS mod)
-Replaced some old GB spinners
-For any Linkin Park fans out there like me... =D
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Both the above mods are available in flashable zips. Just flash them in recovery.
Before flashing, DO HAVE A NANDROID BACKUP because most of you have very less space on /system. It may give problems...

Some additional stuff I made:
Trebuchet Launcher from CM 10.1 Android 4.2.1:
What doesn't work:
-Can't change the number of homescreens
-Can't change any settings under 'Dock' settings.
If you click there, you get FC, nothing big, it still works.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything else is just awesome: speed, the new transitions, etc.
Also, I saved 8MB of space on your system partition by trimming the original app which is 13MB in size. This one is just 5 MB.
To install, just paste in system/app and over write the old Trebuchet. You are advised to have a backup of it before replacing.
On first boot, you may face FC and think I am stupid, but NO!!! If it happens, clear data of Trebuchet from app settings.
Better if you do that before installing this one...
Nexus 4 JB 4.2 Analog Clock Widget:
I love the Nexus 4 JB 4.2 analog clock widget, so I modified Rashed's 4.1.2 ROM's DeskClock.apk and now I have that widget on this ROM.
See the attached image.
If you wanna have it, grab the apk from the link below and paste it in system/app
You have to over write the stock DeskClock.apk for this. Set permissions just like other system apps and reboot.

The linkin park lock screen is quite cool, and the glow works too! thanks! But, for some reason my weather widgets don't appear when enabled with working internet connection. Its stuck on no data - tap to refresh, and when I do tap it, a lot many times, there is no change! I'm on rashed97's Build 7! Is there something I did wrong? Because this problem persisted before flashing this too! Thanks again!

Have you set location to automatic in the weather settings of lockscreen? Uncheck that option and add location manually
for some reason, auto location doesn't work with weather panel on lockscreen
Yes I had, and I changed it! Now its working beautifully! Thank you!

All these links have been updated in the OP.
Is it possible to modify the lock screen settings to allow a live wallpaper option? I know this can be done standard on aosp/cm roms. Looking for a mod on the LG side of things.
I know there was alot of lag on my wife's g pro phone with live wallpapers in general. I wonder LG set it that way so there would be no/less lag.

On the DNA, you had the option of setting up the lockscreen with a Live Wallpaper. It wasn't a special mod or anything, it just came that way. Probably part of the Sense overlay. In any case, it was a standard available option.

I understand. LG also doesn't support root, custom recovery, and changing icons in the status bar. These options aren't impossible so why would a live wallpaper be impossible?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
First you set LWP on your homescreen.
Open build.prop file and edit this line from:
Code:
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=true
to
Code:
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=false
Reboot your device.
Now you will see same LWP on your lockscreen too.
Root is required.

How difficult is that to understand that it is not supported??!! There is no point in arguing when I know what the fact is. Maybe a REAL DEV as you call can do it, but AFAIK no one can/could till date.
and about the last comment, thats AOSP stock lockscreen not Lg..

I had high hopes that this would work, but it doesn't work on my device (Stock, rooted). Every time I edit the buildprop and reboot as it prompts, it resets value back to true...hmm. Any suggestions?

I have one question. Did you save changes? And after saving make sure you set the build.prop file permission properly.
It worked for me on stock but changed my lockscreen to the aosp lockscreen

I have updated g2 to kitkat. Can't find the setting in build prop to change lockscreen to AOSP. Please help as what should be edited to get live wallpaper on lock screen
Jellybean allowed you to change either lockscreen or home wallpaper. Now kitkat changes both at once it doesn't ask which one you wanna change, or am I completely missing it? I Googled it and can't seem to figure this out -.- this is on Beanstalk on my s4, girlfriends Verizon s3, and friends att s3. so I know it's not just me lol.

Its not intuitive at all. I installed a theme and then couldn't get rid of the lockscreen wallpaper. A theme can override your normal wallpaper by setting a lock screen wallpaper. To fix this you need to go to settings -> themes -> lock screen wallpaper -> clear
Took me awhile to figure this out. Hope it helps someone else.

Don't be silly and read it in context. Obviously doesn't mean a "'black skinned" person.
And the accessibility options for universal touch is correct as I've enabled this before.
