Using Unlocked Snapdragon S8 w/nova
Every time I click on an app there is the traditional app reveal animation but the wallpaper zooms in with it. And when I exit the app, app zooms out and so does the wallpaper.
Can't figure out how to stop the zoom on the wallpaper. Also since I'm a new poster I am unable to post a link to my video :crying: Is there anyway around this?
This never happened on my z play.
Any thoughts? Thanks

I recently copied my 1920x1200 wallpapers from my PC onto the Tab, but when I set any of them as wallpaper you can easily tell how bad/low quality they become. I read somewhere that the Gallery app does this, but I couldn't find any other app that sets wallpapers! Even root explorer or Astro points to the Gallery.
Doesn't sound like the gallery app to me. Sounds like those wallpapers are too high of a resolution. When you set it as wallpaper it has to resize which is causing the poor image quality.
Try setting the wallpapers to the resolution of the tab, they'll be good then.
N.B the gallery issue doesn't touch your images, just the way they are displayed in the app
Yes, it's gallery which makes the wallpaper blurry. Try QuickPic, you'll see the difference. Myself, I'm using MultiPic live wallpaper, so I can have different pic for each page.

Now it works. I used a wallpaper chooser/creator app called dodol wallpaper and now my wallpaper is displaying high resolution images.
I don't know why Gallery app is down sizing the quality when setting a selected image as wallpaper, infact, I have no idea how this whole thing works lol.
thank you sooooo much for this thread; i never knew what caused all the wallpapers I set to be so low quality, i just couldn't figure it out and I assumed since no one was talking about it that either it was my tab or that's just the way it was and I'd have to deal with it.
Is there anyway I can just use the wallpaper I download without cropping?
I tried wallpaper slideshow but it like locked up when I set it up and when it applies wallpaper its shifted way to the right and part of the background is dark.
Any help thanks!
Did you try Multipicture Live wallpaper app?
I used the app called wallpaper wizardri. Just try to look for a picture of resolution (1200x800) i believe.
Google wiffed on the wallpapers having to be cropped, which i believe is bs and another pain users have to hurdle through.
Should I resize the image before trying to set it?

You dont really have too, you either will be resizing it in honeycomb when you crop it but if you do it then, the resolution would suck
Wallpaper size
Hi
I found that to have crisp unpixelted wallpapers I needed to get a much bigger image than I though as it needs to work both vertical / horizontal.
So i ended up downloading huge pictures to make it work - 1200x1920
^^ completely agree. This will give you the best results. Even over an app.

miltipicture live wallpaper is the best bet. if you cant figure it out pm me and ill walk you through it.
I apologize if this has been addressed before but I'm a little pressed for time right now. Has anyone else had the issue with their wallpaper sizes being different on the home screen and lock screen? As in when you unlock the device it seems as if the wallpaper zooms almost? If so is there a fix for it? I am currently on Apex Launcher if that means anything.
Thanks in advance

Yup mine does that too.
Using Nova Launcher with a PIN lockscreen and wallpaper set from gallery using a photo taken by S4 camera.
Edit: Just tried with different photos and still same resizing change from lockscreen to home screen. No idea why.

Go to playstore and download an app called picspeed. Use that app to set your wallpapers. It wont oversize the pics like the phone system does. So when you pic your wallpapers from gallery and it ask what app to install with click picsoeed. It has 3 box sizes to choose from. The good thing is you can use any wallpaper in your gallery it dont have to be a download from picspeed.

Hey guys,
So I have a live wallpaper that I really like, but of course it drains battery. I was wondering if there is a way to basically take a screenshot of it so that I can use it as a regular "static" wallpaper?
I can view it in preview to take a screenshot, but then it has the "Settings..." and "Set Wallpaper" buttons in there as well. Perhaps there is a clever way to do this.
Thanks.
I imagine if you have the right ROM and launcher you could just turn on immersive mode and take a screenshot of an empty homescreen.

This should probably be in questions but if you put the live wallpaper up our tell me which one it is as long as it's appropriate I'll do it for you because I have omni ROM with immersive mode. Then I can screen shot a blank screen and upload it for you like the person above suggested

Good morning,
I had since the beginning with my new phone this problem : Pictures won't rotate in my gallery view!
I have read forums and saw that it was a software issue related to those who are using NOVA launcher.
this solution for the S6 edge is working!
The fix I applied was super simple.
Previously, gallery did not rotate when launched from a folder on the nova home screen.
When I moved the shortcut out of a folder, to occupy just one spot on my home screen, it started to rotate.
Also, launching gallery from the app drawer always was able to rotate as well .
Put a shortcut again to Nova launcher and It works!
It's always nice to known!
Do you mean the rotation from portrait to landscape of a photo you are viewing?

Yes, That's what I mean.
If I started the Gallery from the icon on the my nova launcher, the pictures didn't rotate when I putted the phone in landscape.
When using the icon on the app drawer, it did!

I never had that issue. I wouldn't think it would make much difference but I'm on an AT&T S7E with Android 6.0.1 and Nova Launcher Prime 4.2.2.
I tried all 3 ways. Gallery shortcut on my home page, Gallery shortcut on my home page but within a folder, and Gallery app in the App Drawer. I closed Gallery completely in between each test and every time I selected a photo it would rotate from Portrait to landscape without issue. I wonder if some other app is causing the conflict even though you said this happened before on the S6's.
Well, at least it works and thanks for the "fix" information because someone else will surely need it!
I launch Gallery from a folder in Nova Prime, and my images rotate just fine.
Having the same issue on Note 7.
The culprit is nova launcher with "Screen orientation" set to anything but "Auto-rotate". As soon as I set to "Auto-rotate" the gallery started rotate as well.
