Wallpaper problem - Kitkat 4.4

[mohan_168]

Installed Android 4.4 via adb sideload onto 2x Nexus 4 and 1x Nexus 7 (2012). Installation was smooth as the rom is stock (un-rooted).
While trying to change the wallpaper (which I used earlier in 4.3), the wallpaper does not center anymore. Tried with multiple wallpapers meant for Nexus 4 and 7 respectively.

I later launched airdroid and saw the system processes running --> com.android.wallpapercropper still running in the background and consuming anywhere between 33-44MB of RAM.

The cropping tool to select the wallpaper no longer appears in Android 4.4

I had the same "problem" until I figured out that kitkat is just working differently for wallpapers. The centering is due to the fact that the homescreen is not the middle one, it's the left one now. And the cropping tool is now pinch and zoom when selecting the picture.

Whenever I select my wallpaper, it zooms when I don't my phone for an hour or two.

I didn't restart the phone or anything either

I have the same issue as Eriq -

whenever i crop a wallpaper to fit in the screen as i want... after an hour or two it will get huge and wont fit at all ( i even tried using dif pics in dif sizes to see if somehow after it gets "huge" it will get "huge enough" for it to stay centered in the screen....not such luck it always gets completely out of the screen.

This used to happen to me. It doesn't seem to do it for 2048x2048 resolutions though.

Restart the phone with safe mode ! and then restart it normally.. you will have to place your widgets again but it fixes the wallpaper problem

This doesn't work for me.

I just thought I'd add that the 4.4.3 update seems to have fixed this issue, for me at least.

no update to 4.4.3 for my phone. Does anyone have another fix? I've tried all sorts of different wallpaper apps but the same thing happens
