On my previous Android phones the wallpaper was wider than one screen and it would shift a little with each home screen I looked at. My Note 3 doesn't seem to do this. I looked at wallpapers for it online and they were all 1920x1280 so I made one for my phone at that size but when I tried to load it the phone asked me the crop the photo down to the single screen size. Is there a trick to making it accept the full size wallpapers?

How can i made a large pic to fit into the screen for wallpaper?
I tried to set some pics as my wallpaper but due to the size of the pic my screen only show parts of the pic instead of making the pics fit to screen.
though having the dimension of the image set to 800x480 is not the perfect size due to portions on top and bottom part are used by the toolbars, it works great.
I was checking zedge.net and found the wallpapers were posted there all of so small resolution. At first I thought it was the 480*800 resolution but then found the HD2 walls were right, but not Desire's. Why?
Its because as you swipe through the screens the wallpaper moves. I don't have a problem with them
While you're right about the wallpaper moving, the Zedge files are oversized. Try to set a standard wallpaper using the built-in function, not Zedge. You'll be brought to a screen with a crop rectangle that you can move around the picture, to select what will be shown on the screen. The crop is significantly smaller than the actual image.
The problem is... even the HTC original wallpapers are too large, as well. I don't think it's a Zedge-only issue. I wonder how the N1 handles standard wallpapers...

Try giving that crop rectangle a pull at one of the corners or sides.
Thanks for the tip, I had no idea you could resize the crop rectangle
Well... I guess that leaves just Zedge acting weirdly...
what's wallpaper size for android rom on HD2 ?
Hi i think it is 960x480.
If the File has this size there is no need for scaling by Android.
Send from my [email protected] 2.2
If u want full wvga, its 480x800.
if u want ur wallpaper to span across more than 1 screen, its 960x800
But when I choose Home wallpaper, the picture are still cut, stretch
This was bugging me for the longest time and I've finally found the solution. Only way i've been able to get wallpapers to fit without cropping issues(where android zooms into the cropped section) is to use 960x800, this will however make the wallpaper span across all the screens.
Yes, IMO the best resolution is 980x800, there is an option in Launcher Pro though, if you prefer the screen stay still so the image on your home screen stays static.
Launcher Pro > Appearance Settings > Disable wallpaper scrolling.
Problem is kinda hard to find 980, don't use Google or a bunch of porn pops up when you search for exactly 980x800. There was a forum somewhere here on xda that someone posted like 50+ wallpapers all 980x800, can't remember where it's at though =\
This may be insanely easy to figure it, I presume it is all on my naivete regarding Android 2.2.
My hd2, as most here, is 4.3" at 480x800. I have found a few wallpapers I liked on google images and have resized them appropriately. Yet, when go to set said photo as wallpaper, it only lets me select a small portion of it and that portion is then grainy/blurred at the new resolution.
I did try finding exactly 480x800 wallpapers just to see if that was a problem, yet it only lets me select that small portion of the total image.
My question is, how do I get a 480x800 image and a superb quality, to be set as wallpaper in its entirety over my home screens without only getting just a portion or that portion being stretched to said blurriness?

make the wallpaper 960x800 should make it fit correctly
thank you for the reply.
You can resize the selection box...
There is a free market app called zedge that lets you download free wallpaper and ringtones. There is a lot of cool stuff in there. Try it out.
I use Zedge, select the Evo as my phone and go crazy.
When you select your wallpaper, press on the outside of the box and drag it out in order to use the entire image.
got dhd what size screen saver do i need as when i down load any the picture dont fit on the screen thx
960x800 size is a good fit.
Also if you didn't know, when selecting a big as picture for a wallpaper and you get that box which you can move around to select what you want to display as the wallpaper, you can also resize it by dragging outwards at the corners.
