Wallpaper Chooser - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm so sick of these restrictive wallpaper choosers on most devices now, that don't let you have what it is you really want to see on screen! I'm currently using an SGS3 with halo launcher but that doesn't change how Gallery wants to use the image. Same thing with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Have a look at the screenshots...
So what do other people use?
Does anyone know of an app that can do this better?

QuickPic allows selecting the entire image, or you can pinch & zoom the selection you want.

App called 'crop wallpaper' works best for me. Light and does not auto start at boot. Crops at very high quality as well as selecting certain sections, as well as setting full image uncropped.

I think I will,, if I see many people interested in it
This is awesome, but I have a quick question. How are you setting the images as your wallpaper? I am trying to use Wallpaper Wizardii, but I can't seem to get the settings right.
How do you set the whole picture as a wallpaper? The Tab keeps making me crop it, losing about 40% of the image :/
AMAZING images btw

I've posted an explanation of that here.
It's just how Android operates, so that you are able to scroll between pages on your homescreen.
Thanks!

[Q] How can I set a whole pic as wallpaper on CM7.1?

Hi,
I have installed CM7.1 and i want to set a pic as a wallpaper, which i can do....but ..what i cant do is set the whole pic as a wallpaper. I can only highlight certain part of the pic which i dont want.
You could set the whole picture as a wallpaper on the original rom.
Is there someone out there that can help me please.
Thank in Advance.

Thanks alot..it has helped in setting the whole picture on the main screen.
The only downfall to it, is that it doesnt stretch across the to the other windows when you scroll accross. Also when you put the phone to landscape it doesnt appear up on the whole screen.
Thanks

Anyone know the exact dimensions the wallpaper has to be for it to retain 1080p and also use the entire wallpaper instead of making you crop the wallpaper.

THIS. No one is answering this question. I keep seeing people talk about their 1080p walls, but no one mentions that it seems to force an annoying crop. I want full 1080x1920! If no one else answers, I'm going to see if I can figure it out when I get home tonight.

Yea I mean the stock wallpapers that come with the phone are 2160x1920 and they still require cropping if you manually set them as a wallpaper via gallery.
So yeah, 2160x1080 works. What I did was I just found a good 1920x1080 image, rotated it, doubled the width and made sure the image was centered. I put together a pack of 8 abstract wallpapers if anyone is interested.

There is an app called wallpaper wizardii it does something so you don't have to crop the image to fit the screen I used it on my galaxy tab 10.1 might be worth giving a shot on here

Adw has scrolling wallpapers, you have to activate the wallpaper scroll hack under advanced settings.
I'm gonna get this ball rolling...i want to see more pictures instead of links...

out of the box, touchwiz does not allow scrollable wallpapers on the note 2. you need to swap launchers if you want a scrollable wallpaper.

This is normal, the selected part should have 2 smaller rectangles on either side of it, that is the part that scrolls. With the high res of the images, selecting one part shouldnt distort it but, If you need the whole image youll want to download an app from the market to do it.

There's an app on the Play Store called Wallpaper Wizardrii that allows you use these on your entire screen.
