actually you aren't stuck with this method. I have figured out a way to apply wallpapers like they're supposed to be with no loss in quality. applying through gallery or quick menu forces you to crop the picture resulting in the images you posted. check out my method.
go to marketplace and get a free app called picSpeed wallpapers. install it. it has high res. wallpapers and has its own proper way of applying wall papers. but any how go to the stock prime gallery app and choose your pic you want to apply as the wallpaper. press set as. then choose wallpaper. now, since you installed that app I mentioned, a pop up menu will show asking you which method do you want to use to apply the wallpaper. choose PicSpeed method. now it will allow you to apply the whole image without being forced to crop, having loss of quality, or looking zoomed up like crazy. Enjoy. as this method has been proven. also, only apply wallpaper through gallery app. don't do it through the quick menu where all the Widgets are at. if you do, then you will be forced to apply the wallpaper the gallery/stock method.
hit the Thanks if this solved your wallpaper woes
already use it. love it
Thank you so much for posting this. I have an Archos tablet (the 70IT) that I have fought with trying to get a decent wallpaper on, and it's impossible. I'm going to give this a try and see if it works on that too.
Thanks again!!!!!!

no problem. hopefully works cross platform also. I guess the gallery way of doing it improperly is actually a honeycomb or tablet thing.
thanx! I was using the browser, now I won't need to go look for wallpapers I can just save them internally.
Thank you very much this was very helpful

I'm still using it on ICS. Works perfect applying the wallpapers how they should be. Instead of stock gallery way software forcing you to crop. What exactly is the problem you having to say you can't get it to work?
It doesnt work in ICS. It doesnt properly crop the images I had to stop using it and just use the bubbles live wallpaper now for ICS.

Well, I goto the gallery, click on my image I want, goto Set picture as --> Set as wallpaper whcih is the middle option. Then it shows me the picture with 4 arrows, and a scrollable button, user original, rotate buttons and SET button.
I hit set...and it sets it as my wallpaper, but doesnt resize it. You can tell it easily distortes the entire image like it does originally without the app

your best bet is to uninstall then install again. As youbcan see from poster above and me, it still works great in ICS. that's the only option I ever choose to apply my wallpapers now.
another tip also, which might be Also you're experiencing is this: if you get a wallpaper and apply it the way I said and the wallpaper is bigger than the middle box, use the one to the right instead. its custom and will stillbspply the whole image in its native quality. If the wallpaper is bigger then the middle box and you apply it like that, it will be zoomed up. If wallpaper fits box exactly, use middle one. If its larger, use the one to the right, the custom rectangle one. then hit set. works perfectly for me on ICS. try that
Does not seem to work for me as well.
For one I can only find the picspeed HD version (don't know if that matters at all).
any how go to the stock prime gallery app and choose your pic you want to apply as the wallpaper. press set as. then choose wallpaper. now, since you installed that app I mentioned, a pop up menu will show asking you which method do you want to use to apply the wallpaper. choose PicSpeed method.
From this point I have no option to select PicSpeed - only 2 other options.
Running ICS...
Quit working in ICS for me as well. I used it on HC, and know it worked then. Following the same procedures, its still zooming in. Wiped data, still no go... too bad. Drives me nuts when it is zoomed in.

thing is more than likely after you choose pic speed option to apply, your wallpaper is bigger than the middle option that's default. to the right of it is another mode, custom, that will apply the whole image. Basically if you try to apply wallpaper thru picspeed option, the middle one should cover the whole pic. if it doesn't, and pic is larger than square with arrows, then choose the next one to the right that looks like a rectangle. that will cover the whole picture then press apply. it still working fine for me.

Searched through a couple of threads on getting the wallpapers to show up properly but wasn't able to find a definite solution and after spending a couple hours trying to figure it out here it is:
This will allow the wallpaper to span all 5 screens of ADW launcher (or any other launcher I would imagine) without pixelating or distorting.
Create a background that is 1200x1024 and in PNG format (I used PNG 24bit since that is what the stock wallpapers are at) and put the picture in the My Files\Wallpapers folder on your device memory.
Go to the Nook settings>Home>Set Wallpaper and select the wallpaper you want to use form the "Wallpaper" tab and not the "Photo Gallery" tab.

resizing them to 1200x1024 and saving them in .png did the trick

The default wallpapers are 840x1024, but they aren't big enough to fill the multiple screens of ADW
What I did was turn the nook horizontally and set the wallpaper. Make sure you don't turn it over until the wallpaper is set. Once the wallpaper is set you can turn it back vertically and it should come out ok. This was the only way I could get the wallpaper to not be zoomed in.

Yeah, it does cut it off some, but not a big deal to me... the resolution is great, and it doesn't require photo resizing on a desktop. Depends how particular each person is about getting every inch of the image (I'd imagine this app would suffice for many).
I use Flikie Wallpapers HD which is free in the app store. Has many different types of wallpaper and they fit the screen perfectly regardless of if you're using one screen or seven screens.
Flickie wallpaper HD worked perfectly for me. I have been looking for an app like this. Thanks!
I got another solution.
But this only work with one wallpaper.
go to system/framework/
Look for framework_res.apk
Then use 7z to edit it.
Replace the default_wallpaper.png you'll get a better quality wallpaper.

Hey guys,
Thought we should start a wallpaper thread for the Nook... I just posted 413 of them to my Photobucket account...
http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb86/911jason/Tablet Wallpaper/?start=all
I recommend Wallpaper Set & Save to improve image quality on all of your Android Wallpapers, it's free!
For anyone wanting to create their own, the size should be 1200x1024.
I recommend World Tour. It doesn't have the sharpest images, but it's pulling pictures from live webcams around the world. I just set it to random and automatic update once an hour. It scales the images properly for the Nook. I've been using it on my G1 practically since I got the phone.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-jraf-android-latoureiffel-ACx.aspx
I use app called Backgrounds, takes photos from flickr and the aspect ratio / scaling seems ok.
I like the HD Rare Black Wallpapers. They show up sharper than most of the other "HD" background/wallpaper apps.
Good stuff. Might want to mention the image requirements. I believe they should be 1200 x 1024.

Jason, Thanks so much for those beautiful photos you placed in your Photo Bucket for use on our NCs. I wonder if you can figure something out for me. Last week I downloaded about 14 of those photos to my pc and one way or another they made it to my NC. The neat things was, that they showed up in my Wallpaper as well as my photo gallery. Because they were in the wallpaper settings, I didn't have to do anything to them at all to get them on my home screen. They were perfect, full picture, wonderful resolution, and worked on the three home screen setting. I have no idea how I got them into that wallpaper section, darn it!
Since that time, my NC has gone through many restore-to-stock and nooters, etc. Now I'm back to 1.1 and auto-nooter v3. Everything is working well, but I can no longer find your pictures in the wallpaper section, only in the Picture gallery. The ones in the picture gallery are not the correct size and no matter what I do, I can't get them to work for me (I'm not very knowledgeable about Android, as you can probably tell.) Last week, when they were sitting in the wallpaper section, the pre-installed pictures from the Nook Color and even pictures of some of my book covers were also there. Do you have any idea how I might be able to get your pictures back into the wallpaper section? BTW - at the time they were working so beautifully, I was in 1.0.1 auto-nootered. Sorry for the long message, but I'm not having any success. I want them just the way they were last week! They were perfect!
TIA
Sue
nm - I figured out how to get them to my wallpaper. Thanks again,

So I used the Photobucket app and went into settings, checked hi res download option. Changed search to people in the dropdown. Searched for 911jason. Clicked a wallpaper, open menu click download, when it fails I selected set as wallpaper. Looks perfect on rooted 1.1 stock. Thanks!

Let's see if I can this right.
I downloaded the images I wanted from 911Jason's Photobucket and put them on my pc. Then connected my NC using the USB cable. I then navigated to the NC <MyNookColor> and then to <MyFiles> and then to <Wallpapers>. I did a drag and drop of the pictures I wanted into the Wallpapers Folder. FWIW - I first tried using "send to" from drop down menu and it didn't take. The drag and drop worked fine. (911Jason's pictures were perfect for me because they are the correct size and I don't know how to use the Wallpaper apps yet.)
Hope this helps.
Sue
Thanks, I'll try that out!
A good place to go scouting for wallpapers is hdrwallpapers.com. Here's my current NC background:
http://www.hdrwallpapers.com/the_tornado-wallpapers.html
--ex
Another good place to go for wallpapers is deviantart.com and search for the resolution you want (1200x1024). A ton of the wallpaper apps rip their images from this site.
I'm not sure I'm having the same problem as others, with the wallpaper. Maybe I am. But my wallpaper shows up very large. The actual size is 700 x 1000, when I check it in Photoshop. I received it as part of a skin from DecalGirl. I would think, given the size requirement of 600 x 1024 (for one screen), this would be pretty close to perfect. But whenever I set wallpaper, the image gets blown up. I've tried using a picture of my daughter (which is 2400 x 3000), and it gets blown up, too. Her face is huge.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Help?
Okay, just tried using Wallpaper Set & Save, as I've seen others suggest, and that changed nothing. It's still really huge.

Hey guys. What's this wallpaper issue you guys are talking about? Can you be more specific?
I had some issues with Vegan 5 and I noticed it didn't go away with the upgrade to Vegan 7. My wallpapers looked low-res. What I did to remedy this (someone suggested this on one of the threads.. wish I could remember who) was install "multi live wallpaper" form the market. I think that's what it's called anyway.
I just changed the default settings to single picture (then choose the picture you want as your background).
I didn't like the wallpaper scrolling as I went through the different screens on my home desktop. There's an option that makes the wallpaper fixed so it doesn't scroll as you scroll through your desktop pages.
Anywho, hope that helps some.
Just to clarify, download multi live wallpaper.
Then on the home screen press and hold down on a blank area of the desktop.
A list with options should open up. (Add widget, wallpaper, live wallpaper, folder, etc)
Select "live wallpaper" and choose multi live wallpaper from the list.
Set the settings you want and you're good to go.
Check out Wallaby on the market. Works like a charm for me.

Multi Live Wallpaper keeps saying that the files are unavailable, and that I must reload or reboot. And Wallaby cannot does not see my SD2 card, where my pics reside.

I use JustPictures, and it works, but still suffers from not scaling the pics to the screen.

Hi guys,
I guess everyone is having problem, setting their favourite wallpapers on honeycomb. Because whenever we try to set wallpaper, it asks for cropping and after applying cropped wallpaper becomes blurred [like it zommed in the wallpaper]......
some people said to use wallpaper wizardrii app but honestly it didnt help me at all....it still crops the picture and sometimes make it blurred.
so my solution to set desired wallpaper without cropping is very very simple but as i said this is just an alternative not the perfect solution.
just download live wallpaper called ''WATERIZE LIVE WALLPAPER '' , install it and then open it. By default it will have stones background. Go to settings and choose custom background of yourchoice. Apply it. Thats it. Now you have wallpaper of your choice without cropping. Its so easy and plus it adds the effect of water ripples on your wallpaper which looks so cool. Try out.
this is my alternative way to set background without cropping but little sacrifice is its live wallpaper but i would really love to use this until google solve this issue on honeycomb.
i have provided the link for download.
if anyone likes this then please comment
And i see, you must use the full version to get the option custom image.
Use Wallpaper Wizardii from the market
'Wallpaper for Tablets' in the market solves the problem as well.

The problem is that using these programs you apply a live wallpaper like a static wallepaper ...... and that this decreases the speed of toucwiz.
I think 1920x1408 resolution is best for our honeycomb tablets. But this multi live wallpaper software make the images fit to screen so u dont need to worry. Otherwise for perfect size try the above resolution....i will upload some wallpaper collection when i m free.
---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
thanks to refer me this amazing software. I installed it long ago but at that time i was new to honeycomb so didnt notice the setting menu of multi live wallpaper but now i installed again and looked into the setttings and when i applied. ...i found that this software is ****in awesome. I love the way it has difffernt wallpaers on each screen and specially the screen transition effect is glorious.
One question though, being a live wallpaper and changing wallpaper on time intervals itself, do u think it will consume more ram and subsequently battery?
I wish it just use battery like a static wallpaper.
Another app that I used previously (although it was on my phone and not on my tablet) was "Wallpaper Set and Save".
Wallpaperwizadrrii and multipicture all compress the picture and degrade the quality.
I have yet to see a solution that maintains quality AND doesnt crop.

That's incorrect.
As I said in another thread, when using a stock Honeycomb ROM and/or ADW the standard rules of Android wallpaper sizing apply.
You take the screen resolution in portrait and double the width and that's the size the wallpaper should be to fit perfectly. Obviously you can scale up or down from there if you really want to but the ratio will stay the same.
There is a question-mark as to whether TouchWiz changes the way wallpapers are selected/size but since I really don't like TouchWiz, I haven't investigated.

The BEST solution and a little more OPTIONS is MULTI-LIVE WALLPAPER..It looks Semi-Challenging to use but it really isn't..It allows you to set each screen with a specific wallpaper or you can have it cycle to different ones throughout your wallpaper folder..I have it set so that it cycles thru as I change Home screens..Don't let the Name fool you..It is IMO the BEST ONE OUT..Try it and see for yourself..You can also set it to FILL your SCREEN!!!Also the screen TRANSITIONS are AWESOME..And its 100% FREE!!!!

Unfortunately the first is utter rubbish and does not work!
Is there a setting somewhere, anywhere that would allow the actual wallpaper to be used instead of cropping it or automatically zooming in on the image??
This is driving me crazy...:silly:
I tried Wallpaper Wizardrii, QuickPics, PicSpeed and they all seem to enlarge the wallpaper to an either blocky, pixelated mess or zoom in too much and cut half of the image out.
I also tried making wallpapers in Photoshop the exact size as the stock Asus wallpapers but they still end up zoomed in or cropped...
Even the stock wallpapers are enlarged...
Could it be the ROM (AOKP) or something??
I've never had an issue like this before and I'm pretty sure that when my Prime was brand new the stock wallpapers weren't enlarging like they are now...I remember they were perfectly sized to fit the screen...
I've been through many threads and forums and Google searches but I can't seem to fix this.
Any/all help is appreciated.

yeah that's how I am doing it...I go into the gallery, choose the image I wanna use then select PicSpeed and it opens up, gives me the choice to rotate or crop the image in 3 different styles or "use original"...I still get the zommed/cropped image as the end result.
maybe I'll uninstall then re-install it (PicSpeed) and that will correct something...or maybe fix permissions...can't figure it out because when I first installed PicSpeed it was working fine.
sorry cannot be more helpful since I do not have access to PicSpeed so cannot try it out myself.
