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

i made a wallpaper and made it 480x800 but when i try to set it as my wallpaper it make me select a small portion of the picture then it stretches that and make it the wallpaper. i can resize the selection but it maintains aspect ratio and still stretches it. is there way to just set the entire picture? or fit to screen?
The actual resolution, since sense pans the picture, is 960x800. I have no idea how to make it so the screen is fixed and you can just use 800x480. You can also drag the corners of the box to resize the part of the picture it uses
Download Wallpaper Set & Save on the market. Make a folder named Wallpapers on your SD card. Load it w/ wallpapers(.png files for better resolution) then launch the WS&S app and choose a pic. It'll do the rest for you. Hope this helps....

Thanks to BigSk225 for this method. works well
When I use gallery/select/set as/wallpaper and crop as necessary, the displayed wallpaper is always larger than what I cropped to so not all of it shows up, hope that makes sense
What am I doing wrong?
I can't answer your question about how to crop your images for wallpaper, but I use the Mulitipicture Live Wallpaper app and it shows (and rotates) my photos so that they fit the screen.
ok, will have a look at that.

Great tip! Nice app sorts out the issue with wallpapers like it a lot.
This is real frustrating!!! Why would they make a camera that dont fit the wallpaper size, and how do i resize it? (Same for images i saved from the internet)
try using pinch to zoom...
I tried that. It will only put part of the picture as the wallpaper. The pictures are to big
Non of the camera resolutions are exact for the screen. You just got to crop its da only way. Or you can transfer the pic to computer, resize the whole pic to the resolution of screen than use it.
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!
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a wallpaper issue I am having. I downloaded some 960x540 (or 540x960) wallpaper images and when I try to set them as the wallpaper using the stock ROM's cropping tool, the cropping tool displays the wallpaper image very large so that you are only able to crop a small portion of it to use as the background. I am wondering why it should not just be able to crop the entire image because it is the exact same size as the screen? Another strange thing I found was that sometimes I use Zedge to download wallpaper and they are not the correct size of the display and are usually larger (i.e. 800x480), but they show up smaller in the crop tool and I am able to crop a larger portion of them. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? For now I am using an app called Wallpaper Changer which witll set the wallpaper to fit the screen exactly, but I kind of didn't want to have another app running for this. Thank you in advance!
I would l like some info on this too. Same issue here. Downloading correct resolution image but only able to display a chunk of it.

This is actually the Android OS's fault. Because Android is made to work in both Portrait and on Landscape (even if your launcher locks orientation), selling the wallpaper will encompass both. I ran into this problem myself when I went to make my own wallpaper. The easiest solution is to find a square image, preferably 960x960 or larger. I've included the wallpaper I made and how it looks on my phone.
