Howdy,
I have a wallpaper that I am trying to use on the lockscreen and homescreen. It looks perfect on the lockscreen but when I unlock the phone the homescreen version is zoomed/cropped a bit. Maybe 20-30 pixels on each side? Hard to tell exactly how much, but its enough to render this particular wallpaper useless and I don't understand what is causing it. I am setting both home and lock screen wallpapers at the same time through the settings->display menu. Why is the homescreen wallpaper being zoomed and essentially cropped?
Running a Beans 6-ified Note 3.
Thanks!

I use ADW Launcher and I can change my wallpaper on my homescreen but my lockscreen wallpapers always remain the same ! I have tried default launcher and there is the same thing, my wallpaper is on homescreen but when I lock my phone there is wallpaper that Ive had a week ago. What could be the problem and how can I change that lockscreen wallpaper ? I am really lost, dont have a clue. My phone is rooted.
Tnx a lot
EDIT: restart was needed, now it is also on the lockscreen. Modes can delete this.
Currently I have two homescreens with a scrollable wallpaper. When I first added the wallpaper, the widgetlocker screen would have the part of the wallpaper that is on screen two. Now it's moved to screen one for some reason and I'd like to change it back to the way it was as I'd moved the widgets around to fit in with the colour of the background.
Thanks
In the widgetlocker settings u can tick Alternate wallpaper and select the part which you want
Ah, I downloaded the wallpaper using the Backgrounds app. I dont think it saves to a place where I can view it.
edit: nevermind theres an option to save it on the app. Thanks!
Honestly, I'm not really sure why this has to be so difficult. There seems to be a million different ways to set a scrolling wallpaper.
First let me tell my setup. I'm using Nova Launcher and I force it to remain in landscape mode, so when I'm on my home screen it won't rotate. This should make setting my wallpaper easier. I just need wallpaper for landscape.
I basically want to get a wallpaper that's 5300x1600 and I want it to be DOT-BY-DOT on my background. In theory this wallpaper should never have to be cropped since the resolution is basically 2 nexus 10 screens side by side. The number of pages I have on my homescreen should simply only determine how far the wallpaper shifts each time I move to another page. Less pages means greater shift.
However, no matter how I set the wallpaper, it always seems to crop completely randomly and wrong. For example, the Nova wallpaper setter has a strange cropping indicator (looks like a fat cross) that makes no sense, and the background ends up looking huge (cropped too much) and doesn't shift much when I move to the left and right through screens.
Can anyone help me find the perfect way to setup my scrolling wallpaper? Thanks.
i dont know about scrolling...but you can use simple image wallpaper to use a static image without cropping and it sets it as a live wallpaper even though its not but works perfectly

I've had TONS of trouble with using the Gallery to set my wallpaper due to cropping. On the other hand, I THINK QuickPic worked well but its been years since I've used that. Well, A year.

Use nova launcher, edit this wallpaper you got with paint, change the resolution to 2560x1600. Set this wallpaper with nova and it will be DOT-BY-DOT on your background. You can't do it with 5300x1600.
The fat cross is for the landscape preview (the horizontal bar of the cross) and the portrait preview (the vertical one).
I'm using Nova and I look for wallpapers that are around 4000x2000 so that when I crop, it fits around the tablet's resolution without losing quality.
Basically the highlighted portions in the cross will be the background of the primary home screen. It'll shift left and right as you scroll. It's not at all complicated, not even from Gallery. It's quite easy to operate.

Is any one else having the problem of the lockscreen wallpaper from the theme in engine stretching the wallpaper about 50% of the time when waking the phone. Also it automatically centers the wallpaper. Is there a way to fix this?
I don't have any personal experience with the issue you're describing, but I have had issues with the lock screen wallpaper. I found that using the Photos application to choose and crop the picture didn't work. I had to use Gallery.
Hello,
With the new interface we have 3 screens
AOD
Lock Screen
Dock screen
Ok when we want to change wallpapers we have
Wallpapers
Infinity live paper
Yes why not, but the infinity are both for the dock and lock screen. If i want a picture for the lock and a live wallpaper for the dock. How can i do that.
Impossible. The only way is to have a live wallpaper that u can open in the drawer and go to the list !!! fantastic no !! (see my screenshot)
Same for the lock screen
Before we can add widget on it like sahk widget and shortcuts. effects on the lock was ripple effects and firefly. Now we can't. No widget, no effect, if someone have an idea. It will be cool because the lock screen on th market seems not to be fine
Live wallpapers are fun but my experience has always been that they degrade the overall performance of the phone. I installed Google Wallpapers and it automatically cycles wallpapers once a day. I may try the live wallpapers again but in my opinion they aren't worth the performance hit.
I have a HD live wallpaper on my galaxy s8 and I see no degration in performance and it sucks very little battery to the point I can't really notice it. The issue I have is I can't seem to have a live wallpaper on my lock screen as I can't see an option in the settings. On my galaxy s5 I could have both a live wallpaper on my home screen and a different live wallpaper on my lock screen but on the s8 I can't seem to do that?
From where i can change 3rd party live wallpaper?
I use "Hologram Background" to set my homescreen with a 3D live wallpaper, and I leave my lockscreen with a static wallpaper. No performance or noticeable battery degradation whatsoever when used with Nova Launcher. You can also set a live wallpaper for the lockscreen only, and static for home if you want.
