[Q] Does anyone know how to set wallpaper without cropping? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

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.

Picture wallpaper issue

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.

How to use full image as a wallpaper?

I'm trying to make a certain image my wallpaper, but want to capture the entire image and not crop any of it out or distort it in any way. What dimensions does it have to be in? One wallpaper made for this purpose at 480x854 worked, but it was a bad quality picture, when I tried another 480x854 image it wouldn't work. I was forced to cropping it. So how can I do this?
You might want to try some of the wallpaper programs on the market.

I TRIED THIS AND ALSO flikie hd............. THIS DOESNT DO IT
Another one (and my favorite) is QuickPic. When used to select a wallpaper it defaults to crop mode, but you can also select "No cropping", in that case the image is passed to the wallpaper setter directly.

Wallpaper Help

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??

Another quickpic recommendation, been working well, both on GB and ICS

[Q] Custom wallpaper on Lock Screen

Can you change the lock screen wallpaper to what you downloaded? Or are you only limited to Samsung's stock images?
Yes you can. I use QuickPic for my gallery so when I see a pic I want to use for my lockscreen wallpaper I just long press it and some options will come up, one is lockscreen wallpaper, select it and then it'll have you crop the pic you want to use...if it's too big, done deal.

I tried that method, but only the option to set the homescreen wallpaper pops up. I tried changing the lock screen wallpaper with one of the Samsung defaults, but I get "Unfortunate the SECWallpaperChooser is not responding" or something like that. I wonder if that's the problem.
You might have removed some apps from system/app
That could be the cause your your trouble

Wallpaper locations on DNA

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.

use picspeed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.srsdev.wallpapers&hl=en
and use the gallery to browse for your wallpapers and set it up full screen! no blacks.

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!
