Did a search and found nothing. Was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem.
When I slide my keyboard open and it goes in portrait, the wallpaper is tiled and no longer stretches out a large image like it used to. Is there anyway to fix this problem?
can someone help por favor?
try changing the theme then set it back to first one

yes i remember i had a problem with this as well... and i remember swapingt the theme fixed the problem.
but i have always thought, would it be possible to use animated backgrounds?
do you mean changing the theme in the today menu? Cause that's not doing it either. It has only been doing this after I did a hard resete and didn't let the phone load all of AT&Ts stuff.
PLease help. I switched my theme between all of them and none fixed the wallpaper going into tile when I slide for the keyboard. It's still tiled

Doesn't this mean the wallpaper being used is not sized for landscape?

No, my tilt used to zoom in on the picture. I have an image of captain america and then when I used to slide it open it used to zoom in on the top portion of his body.

I can't say that I've ever actually seen wallpaper tile on WM5 or 6. I've seen poorly made themes that when switched to landscape create a border on the left and right of the wallpaper. All of the standard themes included with WM6 seem to work fine in portrait and landscape for me. Maybe we could get an attachment of the particular wallpaper causing the problem?

Yeah, i'm starting to believe that the problem is an app that ATT installed. Cause this time when I hard reset, I didn't let the bloatcrap stuff from ATT install. And I only have the problem now. Either that, or it's the new ROM that ATT put out that is doing it, which I doubt.
But you're right, the Themed backgrounds don't have problems in portrait, only my pictures I set as backgrounds do. But note that I didn't have this problem before.
Are there any CAB fixes for this? Does anyone even know what the problem is?
Try this:
Your Today wallpaper is stwater_240_320.jpg (portrait) and stwater_320_240.jpg (landscape). They are found in the windows directory. Use an image editor to edit the images how you want them to look, and then replace them. I have to copy them to my device, then overwrite them on the device as copying them from ActiveSync doesn't seem to work.
You may need to define your today wallpaper manually before those files will show up.
can you elaborate on this more? I think there's a more simple fix to it from a CAB that is installed from ATT somewhere in the windows folder. Because like I said, this problem didn't occur before until I hard resete and didn't let any of the crap from ATT load.
My other speculation is that it may be the HTC home plug in.
i have the same problem
i have 2 formats of the picture i want to use
one in landscape and the other in portrait
but if i set one as the wallpaper how do i set the other format for when i open the keyboard up
well I have found a solution, but it's tedious without the ATT stuff that used to do it automatically.
First you slide your keyboard open, and then you set it as a wallpaper. Then it will ask you to select what part you want to be displayed in portrait. You can not open the picture and then slide the keyboard, it won't work.
1. SLide keyboard
2. select picture and then set as background.

Hey guys, lots of great packages here but the one thing I really want to change/get rid off is those crappy blocks which are used in the touch flow background.
You know the ones, the crappy ones which fade into the horizon that look like something from Tron
They look terrible and it seems you can only replace the home area with a background image.
Do any of the packages here allow you to change this?

guess the only way to do that is to change the theme using touch flo 3d config
anyone have a solution for this. as much as i like the blocks i want to change me to the same wall paper as my home page.
Please, i want to change that ugly wallpaper too... Touch flow 3d config "themes change" don't work for that.
I agree. Since ive changed to the Official HTC WWE 1.93 rom with .5 radio (better signal now, thanks for that!) I cannot change the background at all. In SETTINGS and TODAY the background image has been selected by clicking on BROWSE yet nothing is displayed.

You CAN change the Wallpaper on the homescreen by SLIDING to the SETTINGS Tab on the TF3D.
There is an option Wallpaper. This will change the Wallpaper on the HOMESCREEN only (unfortunately) and not on the other tabs
The BACK GROUND with in the Settings and Today menu doesn't apply to the wallpaper.
All the best.

I find it hard to believe no one has made an app to make the wallpaper apply to all tabs....why did HTC make it like this? Weird....
Im suprised as well. Changing the home page is nice, but i would like the rest of my tabs to look ince too.
still nothing?
can this really be that complex?

Just because you have no clue about how to do this doesn't meant it's a good idea to insult peoples intelligence by implying its simple and they should have done it already. The reason it's not been done yet is not because theres no want, but because devs must first understand fully how Manilla operates, it's not exactly documented in a nice fancy API.

is there a way to have your home wallpaper at just 480x320 resolution where it just stays in the same place & doesn't scroll behind the icons? without using a home replacement app.
"wallpaper set and save" in the market

I am not sure what the previous post meant? You need to compile your own launcher with eclipse. When you download the source from git, there is a launcher.java file which allows you to change the number of homescreens. I am trying to figure out how to do the actual compiling. If you find out let me know.
I think I have this figured out. When I am able to make a 3 screen launcher, I will also do a 1 screen, and post it for you.
what he wants or wants to know, is if it can be set up to make his icons more from screen to screen, but have his wallpaper not move (now it moves a little bit left or right when you slide to a different screen.) I have never seen such a thing myself to stop this from happening.
the "wallpaper set and save" app worked perfectly. thank you
Wallpaper Plus
well you can use wallpaper plus but its a paid app but it works and you can also crop the selected image for the single screen and that'' leave it as one image but will suck in landscape since its cropped and wont strecth but i suggest it, works very well

what I do is, I take a 320x480 image and use wallpaper set and save app, and the wallpaper doesn't move just my 5 screens do, but I don't know if thats a possibility on the stock rom, I;m using CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1
what someone should do is make it to where itll show a DIFFERENT wallpaper for every screen...

Hi,
I recently got a g-tablet and flashed the vegan 5.1 rom on it. I have tried making wallpaper using the suggested size of 1024x600. This makes my wallpaper blurry and it crops a large majority of it out. I've experimented with lower sizes and I still can't get a proper size that fits horizontal view perfectly. Also this vegan rom I have doesn't rotate the home screen when rotating the device. When trying a lower size wallpaper say for example 800x600, it zooms into one section of the wallpaper and still crops most of it.
Any ideas please? I'm trying to make some comic themed wallpaper, Marvel/DC, etc.
Thanks
Use multipicture live wallpaper is free from market. Have nice settings and solve crop and blury. Sorry my bad english

I'll check back later today with more info.

That's the size I use and it works well. Just make sure when you're cropping that your subject is in the upper portion of the graphic so that you can see it in portrait mode.
this will blow your mind on how crystal clear the wallpapers can be when we use native 1024x600 resolution. this is not some blown up 480x800 blurry wallpapers we always see to acheve wallpaper scrolling wich I always have off cus it lags my scrolling
1. download multipicture live wallpaper
2. download a highdef wallpaper here wowallpapers.com/show_wallpaper/world/england_wallpaper_01_1024x600.jpg
3. go to live wallpapers and select multipicture live wallpaper
4. go to common settings - picture source - single picture and select the high def pic
5. then select crop resize ratio and select Show Entire Picture
6. go back and under drawer settings select transition type and select None.
7.go back and under picture folder selection uncheck double tap to change picture
8.then go to picture change interval select Never
enjoy the most unreal wallpaper on your nook. if u have adw select landscape oreintation only . because potrait kills the wallpaper
Or just check the long-standing steps posted in the OP of a stickied thread in this very forum There is a quick & dirty solution there, but also my steps to get a pixel-perfect wallpaper.

PS: 1024x600 is too small. You need a bigger image than that if you want to have it move in the background a keep an un-stretched image. We use the same size as the Galaxy, which is 1200x1024. That seems to give me the best results.
that method involves cropping the picture. my method SHOWS THE WHOLE 1024x600 picture (no croping)and its a tottaly diffrent way of the one that's posted on there. and I also mentioned I dont like having the wallpaper scroll at a cost of performance. if u wanna do it your way by all means I'm just sharing my way of doing things. cheers

Well you only need to crop the image if it's not the right size already, which is true of any method of setting a wallpaper, including yours. Not to mention that your method breaks in 50% of supported orientations Hardly "tottaly diffrent..."
And I have no idea what performance hit you are seeing from having a scrolling wallpaper. I've had no issues at all on Android 2.1 or 2.3, both at stock or with an OC'ed kernal. I mean, you're of course welcome to use whatever settings you want, I just dont know what performance hit you're talking about.
Either way, this just seems like a bunch of extra steps to accomplish the same thing that has been posted previously, just with less functionality. I dont mean to sound malicious; I just dont understand what advantage you're offering people.

wow I have to spoon feed u an understanding of what i acheved. read and read again. u get a 1024x600 native wallpaper on your nook on landscape. no chopping or visible blockyness. if u want a wallpaper that scrolls your method is prob good I never tryed it. but since I DO NOT have my wallpaper scroll I like to have the WHOLE picture visible and none of it hiding on the sides

Thank you so much
You are a genius cowballz69!!! Not only did this solve my problem and keep me from having to crop, resize, etc, etc, it also allowed me to have random wallpapers, different size wallpapers, etc. And they all scale excellently and look wonderful on my Nook Color! I was even able to mess around with the program settings and get an accpetable workaround for the wallpapers in portrait mode. (I have the mirror effect above and below the image, looks nice.) Thanks again!
Is this 1-1 pixel mapping when done either way?
I haven't even tried putting a wallpaper on other than the defaults yet, too busy exploring other NC features.
I tried every single method out there, this was the only one that really came out nice and crisp. Thanks man.
After reading up, i also tried ES File Explorer's Wallpaper function and got very good results, not as good as your method, but i would prefer to not run a live wallpaper if possible and got good results. I hope a surefire solution to this wallpaper situation shows up for the nook one day. I force the nook to landscape btw.

I just tried Wall Switch with 1024x600 wallpapers and it still insists on cropping and otherwise adjusting the pics.
edit:
On the subject of the thread, I'm kind of surprised that this hasn't been fixed yet. Usually you guys jump on wallpapers and themes right after root.
I don't understand why the settings aren't built in that will allow us to just go choose a 1024x600 image, apply it in the correct orientation, and not let it move no matter how the screen is tilted. I don't want my wallpaper to scroll or change at all. That seems like it should be easy to do.

I followed this to the letter, picture came out cropped severely.
So I have noticed (and mentioned this in the Continuum rom developmental thread) but I noticed this in the Serendipity Rom (I am currently using now) as well so I thought I would make a new thread for it to draw some attention to it.
I made a custom wallpaper to use (with only one screen to use 480 x 800) and after making it and putting it onto my phone. I made it my wallpaper but it seems to zoom in on the centre of the wallpaper ( an image will be attached to this; it is not exact, but it shows what I am getting at) This never happened with froyo roms but it seems that the gingerbread roms are having this issue.
I tried everything i could think of to get it full size but doesnt seem to work
when you chose wallpaper it generally brings up the picture with a grayed out are around a orange (or whatever colour is the default for your theme) box. if you drag the very edge of the box some arrows will show up and you can expand it to fill the entire walpaper then just hit save and your done

Yes I know this. I've done this enough times to make sure I have covered the full wallpaper and I have. As I can see the whole wallpaper on my screen visible in my selection. But when I accept it it zooms into the red area.
maby try using a different launcher and see if that helps and if not and if it is widspread throughout the rom then its probobly a problem with the galary.apk on that rom
Tried different launchers still the same thing happens so it must be something thats going on in the roms.
Anybody else with ideas?
Go to the market and try "wallpaper set and save"
Do you have # of screens set to 1 in your launcher? Just a thought.
