[Q] How to stretch the wallpaper? - Motorola Atrix HD

I have the Atrix HD, and the one thing that constantly irks me is I cannot figure out how to stretch the wallpaper to fit the entire screen. Could someone inform me?

I have no clue how your doing that. I can't get mine to not be cropped.

Try "mulipicture live wallpaper" from the play store to set you wallpaper with. Providing your wallpapers are the correct resolution, it will set them up properly without cropping.

It doesnt make sense Moto's launcher makes you crop it in the way it does considering there's no scrolling wallpaper and there's no landscape either

landscape mode is used when the phone is plugged into a dock. also other launchers have both those features

Didn't know about the dock. Obviously other launchers have the feature, but other launchers allow you to select non scrooling wallpaper and fit it accordingly.

Apex launcher redirects you to the gallery background set screen unless you install a background that came with a theme. i dont remember about nova launcher, but you still have to crop it on apex

[Q] ADW launcher wallpaper problem

Hello folks, today I decided to try ADW launcher on my GTAB. I must say there are some really great looking themes, and its quite smooth and nice to use. The only problem I have went through so far is that wallpaper doesn't fit the all screen when in landscape mode. I have tried to resize them with the Gallery App, and I have also tried to download new ones from interfacelift with resolution of 960x854 or 960x800 but nothing has changed, and even wallpapers downloaded from the Grallery app doest fit the all screen in landscape mode. So I thought it must be a bug in ADW. Is there a way to make them fit the all screen ??
Thanks
not sure if this will help as I dont have a tab, but go into the ADM launcher setting and check or uncheck the wallpaper hack option....maybe that will help

It's old thread but is there anything happened with that problem since December? lol
Im still strugling witht that problem and half an hour surfing on the net didnt help. I sent mail to developer but so far no reply.
So the problem is old does anyone solved it yet?
What exactly is happening? Are some parts of the screen not covered by the wallpaper or are you only seeing a part of the wallpaper. I use ADW and in landscape mode. I get the top third of a wallpaper fully covering the screen. A live wallpaper I use works perfectly. Perhaps reset ADW to its default settings?

Have you tried these wallpapers with any other launcher?
You'll find that its the gallery's fault more than anything. Try multi picture livewallpaper

I am experiencing this as well. Portrait mode there is no issue, it is just landscape mode.
The stock standard Samsung home screen doesn't have an issue, it is just when I am viewing the ADW Launcher EX home screen. It is zoomed in on a particular section of the wallpaper and is only displaying a portion of the picture.
I have a Samsung GT-P7510 running Honeycomb 3.1 and ADW version 1.3.3.1
I too have the issue with my galaxy note, and i started this thread and had no luck so far

ADW Launcher EX wallpaper rotation bug
Well, on my Nexus 5 using ADW Launcher EX :
I'm in portrait mode, I set a custom wallpaper (image fits full screen, sides as expected are scrolling left/right when I switch through the desktops).
Now, I just rotate the phone to go in landscape mode, the wallpaper rotates but is cropped top/bottom and left/right too. "Ok, whatever..."
Then I rotate the phone back to portrait mode : the wallpaper doesn't come back to its original state but is kinda "zoomed in" so cropped on the four sides... I have to re-set it to get my original picture back...
The only fix I found was to force ADW to be in portrait mode and not use the sensor (the default launcher sticks to portrait mode anyway).
So, there actually IS a bug in ADW Launcher EX...
I wish the developer would fix this...

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.

wallpaper question

Just installed CM7. Only have one issue so far and granted it's minor, but annoying. I'm only using one home screen. When i install a wallpaper CM wants to set it alot wider than the screen and all the nook specific wallpapers get cropped funny. Is there a way to adjust the system so that the wallpaper crops to the actual screen size rather than the CM preset crop?

And is there an easy way to hide or remove some of the CM7 preinstalled apps?

Use ES File Explorer to set your wallpaper.

I don't think what i'm asking is possible evidently.
Just want the wallpaper to be able to use the screen size portrait wallpaper and not the widescreen aspect ratio that ADW or whatever is forcing me to use.
Dodol wallpaper maker will work with any dimension image. Though it worked great in Eclair, but in Gingerbread it wants to reboot to set the wallpaper, but only in some cases.

the website interfacelift offers images in many different resolutions. Mine scales to three home screens. You could adjust images to your liking in almost any image editor and load many ways to your NC.
I know exactly what your Talking about and what I use is Perfect Viewer from Market. I know it's not obvious that it has the feature considering it's an Image/Comic viewer, but it works great and I already use it for other things so it was a bonus.

Touchwiz wallpaper scrolling options

Hi everybody. In this period I'm using a touch wiz ROM and I love its launcher, but sometimes I would like to disable the scroll of wallpaper. When I had my HTC hd2 I downloaded a lot of portrait wallpaper that I would like to use, but with scrolling the effect is horrible. Is there any way to have an option for disable/enable scrolling like other launchers? Eventually there is a mod to disable it?
P.S. before asking I tried to modify the apk by myself, but it didn't work well anymore. I'll try again, but meanwhile I would be able to disable it.

In my case, when I choose a pic from GALLERY (very important, choosing from quickpic for example won't bring same options) to take like wallpaper it shows two "modes", portrait and landscape. I choose portrait and the wallpaper don't scroll. That's on la completely stock rom XXLSZ.
I haven't tried but asume choosing landscape wallpaper will scroll...
Regards.
thanks for your answer, but unfortunately didn't work for me. i tried both portrait and landscape image types, but is always scroll. and with a portrait pictures on lateral pages are visible black stripes, so nothing to do at the moment.
on ICS i remeber, if i chose a wallpaper of 800X1280, it doesnot scroll..

Mine is 1000 x 800.
I don't know if that brings difference.
not sure,, but the height should be 1280 and w=800
I think the resolution need to be a minimum of 1600 x 800.. Try finding another wallpaper at that resolution and try it..
thanks alot for your multiple anwers, but none of them worked. the last thing i can do is trying to modify launcher following madijni giude, but i'm not so good, so tell me good luck

[Q] Nova Launcher Wallpapers

Hi Everyone,
Just got my Droid Turbo last night (Best Buy edition, no verizon branding, amazing.) I am having an issue with Nova Launcher and setting a photo as my background through Nova. I pick my picture and crop the area i want to use and set it. It looks like it goes through properly, but then when the home screen comes up, the picture is extremely zoomed in, to the point where all I see is a color.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks,
Nick

A. The BL from Verizon is also not branded...
B. Set your wallpaper through the stock wallpaper app, then select your image through that - it sets it full resolution.
Nova sucks with setting wallpaper, makes you select a certain area that fits portrait and landscape

I have to disagree with you on the nova wallpaper issue. I use nova, and you can still choose other options other than nova wallpaper option. Nova if anything is superior to others because of the support and updates it gets. I been actively using since the first release and it only gets better.
ccheww, that worked, thanks!
the_rooter: I haven't had a problem with any of my previous devices with setting the wallpaper with Nova, just this one. I had Droid DNA and LG G2 with Nova with no issues. Just this one it doesn't seem to work well.

In response to what your saying - its exactly what I was saying....
At Nove Home Screen:
Long Press > Wallpapers > Then you can select from any source.... (in this case I told him to select the default gallery option because he clearly wants to avoid scaling and resizing)
And yes, Nova is far superior to anything else I can think of...
And I still stand by my apprehension - Such a simple task for the developers to fix this.... yet they dont... it doesnt really need to be fixed in my opinion, just bugs me that they ignore it.
