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...

Okay so I was just looking at wallpapers on devianart because as much as I love my live wallpapers, sometimes I just want something easy on the eyes. So my question is how hard would it be to have a standard wallpaper on your homescreen but also be able to place a picture frame widget with a live wallpaper running inside it? Sounds pretty awesome in my head to be able to run a live wallpaper in a pic frame widget while having a regular old pic as your wallpaper.(black wall with a pic widget with the seed of life running inside) Anyways didnt know if this was possible for a dev to make adjustments to that widget for this to be allowed. Thanks for looking
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.
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.

Download picspeed hd wallpapres app...when setting up a wallpaper u go to picspeed app.. u have many choices there..
I have no account for u to donate but atleast u can point a thumb upwards!
As you guys might have noticed, whenever you set a wallpaper using the default android gallery, it kinda compresses it and results in a low quality version of the pic as your wallpaper. I've found a workaround for this by using apps from the market to set my wallpaper with BUT all of those apps can only change my homescreen wallpaper and NOT the lockscreen wallpaper.
So my question is if any of you guys can tell me how to manually change my lockscreen wallpaper? I have a rooted device 2.3.5 btw. Thanks.
Menu-setting-display-screen display-lockscreen-wallpaper
No, I know how to change the lockscreen wallpaper. But like I've said, when you use that way, it lowers the quality of the picture you use. If I use a hi-def photo and set it as my lockscreen wallpaper, the quality loss is very obvious. Which is why I was asking if there was a workaround for this.
When you're about to change the wallpaper and the square box pops up, tap it and expand it.

no, that's not it either. regardless of how you crop it, if you use the default gallery app, the resulting wallpaper is compressed thus the quality loss
get a suitable hd wallpaper from the internet then save picture to gallery. When you set wallpaper to lockscreen choose gallery, find pic you have d/l and crop it accordingly. Remember to get the highest resolution wallpaper.
Hope the above helps

+1 to the question!!!
I wanna use the same wallpaper on the lockscreen & on the my launcher. I choose the picture, set it up as my wallpaper - in the laucher it's absolutely ok, but in the locksreen there are a lot of strange lines (bright & dark) over the wallpaper.
you need a wallpaper of atleast 1600*1000 resolution. If you can find one with an even higher resolution, better still.
Just follow instructions of my earlier post

Of course I have a high-res wallpaper!
But the quality is much worse on the lockscreen than on the launcher's homescreen.
Maybe light wallpapers are ok, but the dark (like mine) is laggy.
anyone knows where the default wallpapers are saved to? cant seem to find the default lock screen wallpaper (of the pen and notebook)...
low resolution for a purpose
do you think the lock screen uses a lower resolution for a reason. that screen basically is displayed for just a few seconds and kinda floats on top of an already high resolution main screen. just a theory that it's supposed to be lower quality graphic.
You can use Quickpic which is free on the market to set the lockscreen. I don't see any reduction of resolution.

again guys, the issue is not with the cropping or with the image quality i'm using. it's with android gallery app compressing the picture i want to use.
@holgalee
thanks, that was exactly what i was looking for!
How about WidgetLocker? A guy posted a screenshot of his completely black background that didn't have any of the ugliness many are reporting of. But it costs money, and i don't know how you feel about apps that cost money, but you're holding a device that cost almost $1000
same problem here.
tried to have a black background on the lockscreen.
tried with a 1200x1600 bmp, png and jpg...
always the same ugly green and black stripes
none of that with galaxy s1 and s2, just with the galaxy note
what can i do to have full black background? dont want to use crappy alternative lockscreen, want to use the native android lockscreen
It won't help with a 5500x3500 wallpaper as long as the default gallery app is compressing the image. It will still look like ****.

I had the same issue on my S2; completely stupid really. Now I have my lockscreen wallpaper automatically change when I modify my [active] wallpaper.
The Gallery app needs to be fixed.
It's still crap on the note 2, anyone who's found a solution?
If it is the black clipping problem? Note shows lockscreen wallpaper a bit darker than normal wallpaper so theres possibility you only notice it on lockscreen.
Found one that looks okay so i am using that
Every time I turn on the device, after getting out of the lockscreen to the home screen, there is always a delay in loading the wallpaper.... The wallpaper stays black for a second then loads itself; all the items in the homescreen are there, just the wallpaper is a bit delayed...
Mine is Xperia Z1 LB, I tried several stock based roms, launchers, different wallpapers.... same result...
Anybody else is experiencing that, or its just my device....

Didn't notice that the live wallpaper doesn't have the delay.... Guess I'll just start using live wallpaper.
but isn't it weird, live wallpaper should take memory and hence more time to load?
there has to be a fix for this...
Is there an app to get my static picture into a live wallpaper?
Maybe on of the gyroscope 3d effect ones?

Thanks for the hint.
Sadly with that method the picture does not scroll any more when changing the homescreen page
Damn this is driving me crazy...I am very close to unlocking and just installing CM
Isn't there a better way, lol...
This is retarded
