Hi All,
Don't know if this has been asked here already (I suppose not as I made a search before)
Frequently I got problems when changing the second wallpaper on my HD mini, meaning I can go to the full process of changing the wallpaper but then, strangely, my phone freezes directly and the only way for me to get it back, is removing the battery.
After a restart I got than 3 different Walls (sense, lockscreen and windows)
Has anyone already experienced that problem and if so, is there a fix for this, it's kinda annoying being afraid to, only, change your wallpaper.
I have been happily running CM 7.0.3 (with the default ADW launcher) for a month now and it was only now I thought about tempering with the wallpapers (hah !). Anyways, whenever I load a 1200 x 1024 wallpaper, it really zooms out in portrait and appears with two black stripes in the Landscape mode. Have gone through all kinds of solutions but to no avail namely:
- Apps like "Wallpaper set and save", Flickie etc. - all of them suffer with the same issue
- Restarted 5-6 times
- Saved the 1200 x 1024 .png files in EMMC / My Files / Wallpaper but doesn't help since CM7.0.3 doesn't have a "Home Launcher" or Settings > Home > Set Wallpaper or a direct Homescreen "Wallpaper Chooser" app like my Samsung Galaxy Pro for example.
Will be grateful if anybody can help me out - am also surprised I did not find this exact problem mentioned in the forums at all - I can't be that unique !
Thanks,
Ranjan
You can't just long press the home screen > Wallpapers > Select wallpaper from " " ?
Worked on every Android device I have owned, including my Nook Color. Perfect wallpaper size would be 600x1024.

No, CM7.0.3 doesn't give an option to "Select Wallpaper from"...Did you have a CM Nook color or stock-rooted one ? Wallpaper size I am sure of 1200x1024 works the best - have gone through multiple posts on this forum and others .

Running CM7 nightlies. Have been since they were first released. Been setting wallpapers the same way for months now, even on regular android devices. It does give that option when you are holding down your finger on a blank spot on the home screen. It has too.

That sounds like the behavior of the built-in gallery app. At some point when you set your wallpaper are you selecting Gallery? Or is Gallery the only picture viewer on your device?
QuickPic works a lot better for portrait mode, it lets you adjust the cropping. Iirc, it doesn't work well for landscape, because it puts in the black bars. Wallpaper Wizardrii is a little fiddly, but otherwise works well with both portrait and landscape.
This problem has been mentioned in the forums atleast once. I know because I asked it. lol No worries though its probably not tagged. Anyways like the poster above said Quick Pick does a much better job.

Dunno why its missing on my device, it only gives me option to set "Cyanogenmod Wallpapers" / "Gallery" / "Live Wallpapers" - both Gallery and Cyanogenmod suffer from the issue I laid out above.
@akaCat, IFLATLINEI: Thanks for the help, doesnt help me though , want good landscape display. I think the issue is somehow the Wallpaper is not scrolling in portrait mode as well (it used to earlier), even though the option is enabled in the ADW launcher settings. Since it is not scrolling it is essentially showing a 1 portrait page image which it rotates in landscape and hence the black screen. I wish this could be resolved !!
Ok I'm going to bring this one back because the same is happining to me now. It worked before! Is there a definitive fix for this anywhere? I see a lot of pleas for help but no answer???????
I started using the free app in the market: Wallpaper Set & Save. Goes in at the correct aspect ratio and resolution (assuming your wallpaper file is correct ahead of time and saved in png format).
So I just got my Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and am loving it except for the fact that it wont connect to my Macbook pro. I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to change the wallpaper on the lockscreen besides the ones that samsung has provided. I have three options wallpapers, gallery and live wallpapers and only the images (which are provided by samsung) in wallpapers can be applied to the lockscreen. It also makes you crop the picture for the lockscreen before applying and it makes the picture look grainy. Anyone figured a work around for this?
Start in the Gallery app and open the image you want to use. Then go through the "Set As" menu and you will eventually be given the option to choose either Desktop or Lockscreen wallpaper.
And unfortunately I dont think there is a way around the blurry cropping that happens when you set the lockscreen. At least I havent found anything yet.
I used a pretty large picture source and don't see any obvious grain on the lockscreen. Also, while I was forced to make a cropping selection, the actual area displayed on the lockscreen appears to be larger than my crop selection. I haven't played around with this too much because I like how it turned out and I don't want to mess it up.
So I have used Multi-Live Wallpaper on all of my old phones and have never had this issue come up for me until today on the Nexus 4. My first thought was to reach out to the Developer and see if I can get some feedback, so I sent him a tweet on his twitter account. Since its in a completely different language I am not sure if I will get a valid response if I get one at all so I thought I would toss this out to the community.
This app allows you to choose specific images/folders/ or albums for your homescreen backgrounds. There are many options including the option to change the background color which is behind the image of your choosing. So for example if I choose the color red for the background of my 1st homescreen, any gaps in between the 1st homescreen or the others when transitioning between screens will be red. Well for some reason on of my screens has a green background, while I have all of my screens set to other colors. I have messed with all of the settings since I am quite similar with this app, but nothing seems to remove it. If anything I can get it to change to a different homescreen when I mess with the advanced "workaround for some home application" option. Anybody else having this issue and was able to resolve it? Thank you
Hi there! My name is Ben and im owning this nexus 4 phone for a month more or less. Since I bought it this forum has been an awesome place to look for answers as my last phone ran android 2.1. A genius friend of mine installed the paranoid android ROM on my phone for me and I'm very happy with all the tweaks. One thing that keeps bothering me though is that ever since I got the phone, when I try to set a new wallpaper, despite the nice sketch of how it's going to look horizontally an vertically on the phone's screen, it crops only the left side of the picture as a wallpaper, it comes out pixelated and swiping home screens doesn't scroll the wallpaper image. I've tried looking it up online, tried to mess with the phone settings, PA settings, launcher settings, but I just couldn't find a way to solve this. Ive tried the image 2 wallpaper app but it still doesn't put the wallpaper the way I set it and just crops only the left side, just less pixelated. I assume this isn't normal? as I said the problem existed even before the PA ROM was installed and that only confuses me more. Thanks in advance if you can help me! B
p.s. I'm running stock PA launcher, only used it to reduce the amount of home screen pages (now i have 3)
jellybean 4.3 with PA 3.99.
