For some reason I have to crop all the pics to make them my wallpaper. But what I don't understand is why can't I make my wallpapers look like they did stock. My wallpapers are too zoomed in. I can't capture the true beauty of this screen..... Can anyone help me understand and/or help me find some beautiful wallpapers??

The International Note's wallpaper select tool is far better than the crippled PoS on the AT&T Note. I recommend an app called 'Wallpaper Wizardrii' which allows you to set and manipulate any image for a wallpaper. I've used it for a long time and it's an absolute godsend!
Agreed with juzz86. Use wallpaper wizardrii and if you're using a scrolling wallpaper set it to "stretch landscape".

I use quickpic as a gallery replacement app, much better, you can set wallpapers properly with that too.
Thanks guys I'll be sure to check them out.
Are you Noteworthy??
@JayFreshly
Another quickpic recommendation, been working well, both on GB and ICS

Hey everybody was wondering if anybody could help...I want to set a picture that's in my gallery. For a wallpaper but when I have to crop it ....it only allows me to crop it landscape I want to crop it as a portrait ...any advice..thanks

best advice I can give is to just offload it from the phone resize/crop it in a native app and upload it back to the phone.
The phone only lets you crop it in landscape because it needs to be that way for you to slide through your home screens.
If you want a portrait picture for your background, LauncherPro will let you center a background and not have it scroll when you swipe through your different home screens.

in order for it to fit perfect on ur vibrant the image has to be 960x800
so open it in a editing application and crop and move around add effect what ever u like and BAM !

I just want to know why I cant save picture that I take with my vibrant as my wallpaper IN FULL SIZE! I have lots of pictures with me and my family, my girlfriend, plays I have been in etc. I want be able to have them ad my background without having to crop half of it and make them blurry.

Its because the stock launcher has multiple screens and a certain resolution that the pics don't match. Some wallpapers will crop full size as long as its the same resolution which I don't think are camera has.

I would like to set a wallpaper from a photo that I took on my phone but it crops the whole image off and I can't use it. Not only that, instead of being "scrollable" like it says they are, the background doesn't move when I switch desktops. Anyone have any suggestions? Even taking images in smaller resolutions, it still cuts off the image significantly enough that I can't use it.
Wallpaper Wizardry gives a bunch of options. Give it a try.

I downloaded Wallpaper Wizardrii and it's been the most helpful app thus far, thank you! However, the scroll function is not working as before... The Nova Launcher seemed to have fixed it for me temporarily, but I uninstalled due to battery consumption...
I'm on Jedi Rom using the stock launcher and I love this particular wallpaper but I can't set it as my wallpaper without it forcing me to crop it and the main thing I like about the wallpaper will have to be cropped off. Does anyone know of a gallery, app that can do something about this?

Will do
If that doesn't work, QuickPic will(and it's a great gallery app). DL it and when you go to wallpaper, select QuickPic instead of gallery. It didn't work for the lock screen though(since it has to be cropped), only home screen.

Use Multipicture Live Wallpaper. I normally use this for multiple wallpapers but it allows you to not crop and fit whole home screen. Just download from play store. Hold on on screen click wall paper, then live wallpaper, then multipicture live wall paper, settings.. And assuming yo uwant the same wallpaper for all, go to general settings, picture source, find the picture, and just go back and press set wallpaper.
+1 on multi wallpaper live...never failed me on the cropping issue. When all others tried to make me crop a wallpaper, multi let me full screen it.
Thanks for the suggestions I found out what I need to do. I had to resize the image with a program on my computer.
Does anyone know where the stock wallpapers are located on the DNA? I'm trying to set a Sense 5 wallpaper but the Gallery app, Astro, and ES File Explorer won't let me set the wallpaper properly. I'm trying to set it for portrait yo view to entire picture, but each app wants me to resize it with its framing square. This is a problem because it distorts the image when it zooms in. Can someone help with this? Is there another way to set wallpapers in portrait without having to resize?

Try using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&hl=en
It lets you set the entire wallpaper instead of having to crop it.

It works except it doesn't fully scale. It leaves a black bar at the bottom of the screen where the wallpaper doesn't cover. I tried using the fix option where you change the numbers, but it didn't work. I guess because this is a full HD device and there's no way to scale.

Nice app but we are looking for a way to take stock wallpapers already on phone from HTC One (from downloading) and taking the entire 1080x1920 image and making it the background. With images already on phone you have to use that selector from HTC which forces you to shrink image...

Nope.
Install the app. Go to your gallery and select the wallpaper you'd like to set
Touch the screen and go to More -> Set as -> set as wallpaper.
That will trigger picspeed.
Have fun
I stand corrected. It takes a little tweaking but it worked! Thanks. You have to goto gallery app then go to picture you want, don't do personalize under settings...once you get to the picsee deal then you have go select the rectangle square on right to get full image...little confusing at first but it worked. The full screen option states it only works on picsee wallpapers...but when I selected the landscape wide option it highlighted the entire image and worked like a charm!
Thanks again!
