Just in case: Settings > Accessibility > check "Auto-rotate screen".
Drag down the top status bar. In the middle, there is an icon to lock/unlock the rotation!

QuckPic
You could use PicSpeed wallpapers. Also has alot of other neat wallpapers.
Thanks guys for so quick replies. Will try & update u soon.
Try an app called image 2 wallpaper. Works like a dream.

I use a combination of QuicPic and/or Nova Launcher
Highly recommend Nova launcher as you can set it to scroll or lock the background and crop it to your liking
+1 for Image 2 wallpaper!
i have the same problem.
just rooted the phone to install GMD Hide Soft Keys, and now the wallpapers span unto the soft key bar and then its just black background.
tried image 2 wallpaper and still the problem persists.
any other way to get the wallpaper unto the bottom of screen.
thanks in advance.
Between using QuickPic, and setting my Apex Launcher setting to : "Single Screen (non-scrolling)" I can accurately plan for portrait orientation images for the phone, rather than to have to think about how big I need to make it for scrolling.
PS: If anyone knows the Nova Launcher's equivalent to "Single Screen (non-scrolling)", let me know because I haven't found it yet.

You just need to create your wallpaper with the correct resolution. There are threads where this is discussed.
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.

Installed Android 4.4 via adb sideload onto 2x Nexus 4 and 1x Nexus 7 (2012). Installation was smooth as the rom is stock (un-rooted).
While trying to change the wallpaper (which I used earlier in 4.3), the wallpaper does not center anymore. Tried with multiple wallpapers meant for Nexus 4 and 7 respectively.
I later launched airdroid and saw --> com.android.wallpapercropper running in the background and consuming anywhere between 33-44MB of RAM.
The cropping tool to select the wallpaper no longer appears in Android 4.4. Anyone else facing similar issues?

Glad to know . Wonder if a bug is already reported.

Has anyone raised a bug with Google on this? If not, any idea how to submit a bug?
Wondering if the wallpapers are the proper res for nex 4. Possibly a small detail that needs to be corrected in the build env.

solved?
ok i figured out how to center my wallpaper image on the lockscreen.
using the oem launcher, on the desktop, swipe from left to right, to the last screen on the left...
hold down finger on screen till choose wallpaper option comes up, pick image from gallery and save as wallpaper....
shut off screen via power button press, press power button to wake device to lock screen...
image should be center on lock screen.. if its not, you didn't do it right, try again.
default screen in stock launcher is the screen all the way to the left... lame but whatever.
now you can set your default launcher to your choice, ie NOVA - APEX - WHATEVER and your lockscreen wallpaper is aligned

The problem happens when we set any photo as wallpaper, after restarting the phone, the picture appears as if it had applying a zoom.
have the same problem
I have the same problem with Nexus 7 2013 on KitKat.
Because the photo wallpaper will automatically zoomed in, now I'm using 3rd party wallpaper apps.
I'm just wondering how the app set wallpaper without being zoomed in. If the logic of setting wallpaper is the same, it should be zoomed.

That works for the centering, but after the power cycle the image (if a huge res is used) is blown up to a section of the picture and not how it was originally set as.
It's crazy that it lets you use a whole image for the wallpaper yet when the device rotates or power cycles it buggers it all up..
I had the same problem on stock 4.4.2. I even f-reset my nexus 4 but uh it didn't worked. in wallpaper cropper, if you choose it as is (positioning), it will be positioned in the hard left screen, so choose the half of the image like this
Been using my replacement phone now for a few days. The thing which is annoying me the most is when I can certain Notifications through the icons are white squares and not the icons of the certain app. Does any one know how to fix this. Thank you.
