How can I apply a picture to be my wallpaper without cropping. I have tried many apps but have not had any luck.
The picture that I'm trying to use is 1920 x 1080.
If I cannot do this, is there a folder where the factory wallpapers reside?
Or are they packaged into a file?
Please anyone?
Thank you

Hi,

Hey guys,
quick question.
I make a wallpaper from my own picture cropped to 800x1280. Perfect right? I load it on my tablet it looks great but when I set it to wallpaper it forces me to crop and doesnt get past 1/4 of the picture vertically. I thought the resolution was that size? Am I missing something here?
Thanks
Pinch out to resize the crop window.

I cant access that file to find out the size. Do you know it?
And to responder#2. I didn't mean a simple pinching of resizing the crop window. I got that. What I meant was it won't let me "pinch" out all the to my 800x1280 picture. It limits my selection area.
BTW I had this problem since day 1 of android usage. I just never cared enough to ask since phone displays are so small, but being this is my first tablet..a wallpaper makes a difference now.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Go get your own favorite 800x1280 picture. Download it, save it to gallery. And set wallpaper..you will not be able to set the ENTIRE image as wallpaper.
Figured it out.

basically, download PicSpeed Wallpapers
Then when you set your pic as Wallpaper choose picspeed. And they offer different orientation.
Thanks man that app worked like a charm

PicSpeed has absolutely no effect - images still badly cropped when set as wallpaper.
Has anyone sussed this obvious and stupid problem?
Picspeed worked great for me, no more weird cropping on my wallpapers.

Hi. I'm trying to use a custom wallpaper, But for some reason when I try to add it, It will only allow me select a section of it... Is it not possible to select the hole picture ?
I've attached a picture to better explain what my problem is.
Thanks for any help !!

It won't let you select the whole picture because its bigger than the default wallpaper template. I'm not sure what the template size is but if I find it I'll post it.

Most of the wallpapers I use are around 300x480. Really bugging me why it will only allow me to select a small section

I've already tried it out. The proper size of a wallpaper is 1600x1280. Try some picture this size and you will have a perfect fit.

That depends on what device you have. What resolution is your screen?
Nexus 4 stock!?
Just open wallpaper in web browser and hold finger on it choose set as wallpaper. No cropping
Or upload to drop box and carry on as above

Sorry if I wrong.

I have read dozens of threads here and elsewhere that ask how to resize images on the Nexus 7 so that they are not badly cropped.
Not one question has been answered properly and one solution (PicSpeed) is a joke as it does nothing.
Surely it is not beyond the wit of man (or even xda!) to design a solution to this ridiculous problem? It's a huge disappointment to be prevented from using one's own images as wallpaper on the home screen background.
I await a development with interest.
No comments?
I download 720P or 1080p wallpapers and use quickpic app to crop them. This means they don't zoom in like the idiotic standard gallery crop.
Solves the issue.

You could try wallpaper wizardrii from play store..just use the scale option once installed.

1600 x 1280.
The standard gallery crop box will default to covering the entire image, there is no re-sizing which obviously degrades quality.
I use Simple Image Wallpaper. It's free in the Play Store and works great. Super easy.
1600 x 1280 doesn't work; wallpaper is zoomed into about a quarter of the full image. Tiny images and huge images & everything in between are all resized to show exactly the same part of the image - about a quarter.
Will try the other apps.
Thanks for the replies but I don't see anything overriding the inbuilt resizing.

Consensus seems to be it doesn't work and worse crashes the N7.

Works fine on my Nexus 7 and I've never had a crash.
Can anyone please tell me the exact size of artwork that I should use for wallpaper? If I get an image that's the same as the screen resolution, selecting it as wallpaper will actually reduce the resolution so that it can work in portrait mode effectively so you never actually get to see what the screen is capable of resolving!
