[Q] Portrait wallpapers? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I remember in a previous ROM I had (Cant remember which one D: ) when setting a wallpaper I had the ability to choose a portrait wallpaper, or a scrollable "wide wallpaper". I would love to get that back, as I have many 480x800 wallpapers that I have to blow-up and pixelate because I cant set is as a portrait wallpaper D:
Suggestions?

Just to be clear, you want one wallpaer to just stay in the center of the screen?
If so press menu-->prefences-->appearance-->Disable wallpaper scrolling.
If that's not what you want, just say so.

No, cause even with wallpaper scrolling turned off it still wants you to crop the image to be scrollable. I have tried 5+ launchers but im pretty sure it has to do with whatever handles the wallpaper chooser.

Answer me this, is the wallpaper you have a portrait wallpaper? And if so try this, go into prefrences and then homescreen. Change number of screens to 1 and then set your wallpaper. Does that fix it?

Negatory.
It still wants me to crop the photo in a 4:3 ratio.
Did this with GO Launcher, LauncherPro, and ADW EX. To no avail.

Multipicture live wallpaper question.

I did a search and pulled up nothing. My question is, is there a way to just set one wallpaper to work on all screens, so when you set scrolling wallpaper, it just scrolls to each side of the wallpaper??? The it's set up now, it puts a full wallpaper on each screen and stitches them all together, which kind of looks weird when you switch between them. If this can't be done, is there another app I can use or another way to get full screen wallpapers??
Anyone know.
Help someone???
can you re-explain your question.. im not understanding what it is that you are asking..
I have a live wallpaper that I have set.. and as I scroll the screen it stay right where it is.. no matter what I scroll to.
Yes you can. You need to disable transitions or animations. Have a dig through the live wallpaper settings and you should be able to find it.

Dig through the live wallpaper settings? Which ones? The ones in multi picture or are there some other wallpaper settings that I am unaware of? I am pretty sure that the OP was asking about getting a static wallpaper to span across all screens while also having the proper display resolution in both portrait and landscape mode. Something that is still evading me/us to this very day.
I really wish someone would come up with a fix for this.

That is what I am asking. When I set a non live wallpaper it wont allow scrolling wallpaper.
It sets a wallpaper for each screen and stitches them together.
I had same problem. Using ADW Launcher, went to adw settings and un-checked "allow wallpaper scrolling". Now just one wallpaper that my home screens scroll across.

Tried that, and then it doesn't scroll at all.

[Q] wallpaper woes

I'm really having trouble setting my own wallpaper. Ridiculous, I know.
When I select an image via Personalize > Wallpaper > Gallery I can select the image and it says it's been set as my wallpaper... but it hasn't been.
Any ideas on this one? Kinda figured this'd be the easiet thing in the world.
This is exclusive to images I download. Photos taken with the camera can be set without issue.
Are the pictures .png or .jpg format?
I have experienced the same once, but after reboot the wallpaper was changed to the new one.

.jpg and I just tried a reboot with no luck. Will I have greater success with .png?
Are you sure that the wallpaper are in the correct size?
Try to take one of the pictures that works and compare to the one's that don't work. Or you can send a PM to me with the one that don't work, so i can tjeck it in Photoshop
Are you using HTC Sense launcher or eg. ADW Launcher, because there is a difference in size on wallpaper.
I'm using HTC Sense launcher. What is the correct resolution?
Thanks again!
Wallpaper size should be 800x480 with HTC Sense launcher. With e.g. ADW launcher it's 960x800.
Try using an app called wallpaper wizardrii from market it works like a charm for me.

The wallpapers get stretched to all your home screens so it may get pixelated. (maybe i am wrong). Works fine for me using LauncherPro Plus.
Try to get wallpapers of your fav actors from Zedge App.

i use the zedge wallpapers only.. Not fine for me..!!
Use zeam launcher or adw ex can fix that problem...
If u using launcherpro, u must switch to touchwiz and back again to launcherpro
That trick can fix the problem, dont use app drawer/homescreen rotate
Bad english damn :lol:

Try deleting Zedge wallpapers for a while,
and see if it still the same result.
Try to update your launcher if available

Quickpic will break the lock screen wallpaper option I know because I couldn't set my lock screen wallpaper with Quickpic set as default handler. So if you have any third party apps that handle pics clear defaults and try using the OEM gallery app to set the wallpaper then you can go back to Quickpic or anything else that you use. If you want to change it again you will need to clear defaults all over again.

[Q] Lock screen + wallpaper

Hey all
My only grip with my Z3C so far is that I can't mirror my lockscreen wallpaper and launcher wallpaper. I sometimes crop the images and it's tough getting them both exactly the same at times. Does anyone know of a solution that'll automatically make my regular wallpaper my lockscreen wallpaper as well?

Please not that even tho the question is theme related, it should still be in the Q&A section.
The way I got around the problem was just to upload the image at a site like imgur and then use a browser on my phone and select use picture as wallpaper or lockscreen.
Oh alright, my bad - it was a bit of a toss up between the two but now I know.
Ah thanks, sadly that's not an option. I'd love some live wallpaper that just mirrors the current wallpaper, but I suppose that's unlikely...
