How to use photo from google photos as android wallpaper? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I sync all my photo from PC to Google Photos and sync back to my android devices (Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini and Acer Iconia A500).
I can view the photos in Gallery but when I try to setup wallpaper (Multiple Live Wallpaper, Wallpaper Wizardrii), I'm not able to see those photos/albums.
I also not able to find the actual file for those photos.
May I know how to download those photos as actual files??

Gallery - find the photo you want to use - long press photo - menu, set image as. Wallpaper should be an option there.

This is best and simple
More along the lines of what I wanted, thanks alot
Are you serious ? On my Mini the pictures are blured (not sharp) on fullscreen view and when viewing with zoom the picture does not load, it is like apliyng digital zoom a small resolution photo. Well, sometimes on some pictures the zoom works and load the full resolution picture but it is slow.
edit: I have found that if i open an album in portrait mode and then turn to landscape mode the pictures are blurier and zoom is not loading 100% resolution photo. Maybe it creates cache for portrait and when turn in landscape mode it uses the same caches(thumbnails at 240x***?) and it looks blurier. For zoom that not work i can't find any excuses.
edit2: It looks like default Album is displaying photos in zoom mode 100% with fewer colors than justpictures. The gradients can be seen. maybe that's why is faster at zooming than justpictures.
floating image
I tried a bunch of photo album apps, and the best in my opinion is Floating Image. You can customize which folders you want (my photos albums are simply organised by folders/sub-folders so it's great for me) and the layout is superb. The only problem I have with it is that you can't zoom when vewing photos but I think it's because X10 mini isn't multi-touch : you have to keep pressing on the photo to bring up a menu and open the photo with the default vewing app and then zoom. Besides that, this app is the best.
I think this thread is posted in the wrong section. This should be in Themes and Apps subforum and not in Android Development
QuickPic is my choice for photos, shows photos in folders (can hide specific folders), very fast thumbnail generation, good quality.
What Do You Want Basicaly?
if You Only Want To hide some folders from default pic album than here is the solution..
create .nomedia file from notepad in your system if you dont know hot to create tell me
than place this file into the folder which you dont want to include in your picture album
all pictures in the folder with this file will not be added in your default picture album when you want to add those pictures delete this file from that folder via any file manager simple it is...
.nomedia is not a solution, because it will also prevent player playing music from these folders. Get Just Pictures for free from the market. It allows you to ignore folders you donĀ“t want to show up.
Fish Bowl Photo Viewer is my favourite viewer. It's fast and easy to use and lets you set the default folder to view.

[Q] Change Gallery to File Name

My Gallery displays photos by date. I have a couple of folders that I want it to display the photos by name of photo instead of date. Is there an option somewhere to get it to do so?
Pictures I take, I'm fine with the default date sorting, but downloaded pictures, or pictures I've imported from my PC I want to see listed alphabetically or numerically.
Just Pictures is a gallery app that allows you to sort your images by title or date. It's free.

[Q] Picture for contact problem - only PNG works

Hi,
I have few days my first android phone - Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro with official ROM - Android 2.3.4. I tried to add a pictures (first approx 256x256 px pics) to my contact and found this stupid problem:
I cannot add a picture from the contact editing dialog - it looks like it works OK, I select the picture from the default gallery app, crop it etc., but after saving there is no picture - so I have to use reverse approach - open gallery, select pic, then choose the option to set as contact image etc.
This way it works but only with PNG files - I found this after several unsuccessful attempts. The JPG always failed - even with pictures from phone camera. But after converting the images to PNG format it works.
Although this is probably minor issue for many people, it is annoying (because my previous phone - SE K300i had no problem with JPG or PNG files).
Is this global bug of this Android version or is it only related to my phone model? Did you also encounter such problem?
thanks

Live focus photos: how to save both close and wide versions auto?

I see the gallery lets me switch between the close-up and wide view shots, for photos shot using live Focus. Is there a way to save both versions easily? All I see is an option called save as a new file but who wants to do that for every live Focus photo you take?
In my old phone I would have Google photos backup all my photos and then use the free up space option in Google photos to delete.
I have kids and take lots of photos and need a easy way to save both the close up and wide shots. Thanks!!
Bump
