Wallpaper on homescreen help

[Eleni 22]

Hope someone can help. I have lots of images on my phone from my storm 2 when I open the gallery they are full screen images and look perfect. I want to just set them that way as my homescreen. It then asks me to crop the image when the image fits perfectly on the screen the way it is. If I crop the image then it enlarges it and doesn't fit. What can I do

TIA

When you go to "crop" them just set the borders at the maximum so that they aren't cropped at all.

Ok tried that but it only lets me crop half the image on the screen and won't let me pick up the whole image

Keep dragging all dots as big as possible. You may have to drag the square itself to the corner. You may have to keep moving and dragging half a dozen times until you choose the maximum area.

What you want is for one of the sides to be maximized (the crop side to equal to the picture side), most likely the width.

The fitted maximum size is 1440 x 1280 (I think ), Larger size won't get you a full image.

The original picuture is only 330x480

The original picuture is only 330x480

that may be the problem, since the original picture is smaller than our screens, it will need to increase its size to fit making it look bad.

To do a screen cap, press the volume button and the power button simultaneously.

I suggest getting new pictures. Seriously. Are these from a camera or previous wallpapers? A screencap is not going to give you a full image either. A Google search might turn up the same pictures you have, yet with better resolution. That's only if they were previous wallpapers of course.

I see so I guess all my pictures won't work then.

Thank you so much

If you email the pictures to your account use an editor like Ms paint. you can extend their borders. Essentially they'll look like a picture on a blank wall.

Or you could do a collage of 2 or 4 pictures and they would look fine

Yes they were all logos and wallpapers I picked up along the strom 2 days. Love them all would take a long time to edit all of them. I will try and research the ones i really want to use.

Thanks

Gonna try and edit using your suggestion.

Thank you

I am having trouble, too. It won't let me make the size of the wallpaper be the size of the original picture and it is distorting the pictures. This is using pics I downloaded from the free android wallpapers here.

 

[yosteve]

If you post the originals I can try my hand at it. Or I'm sure someone else can

I think the problem is that ICS has 3 homescreens, so when it is asking you to crop the picture, it is asking you to show it what portion of the picture you want on the middle homescreen. The rest of the picture will be split over the other 2 homescreens (the far left and far right ones).

So it looks like there is no way to get the entire picture on the middle homescreen, which is what you want to be able to do. Ideally what I would like to be able to do is to have the same picture take up the entire middle homescreen and repeat that on each of the other 2 homescreens.

I went into some kind of paint and hit resize picuture, clicked on pixels tab and resized to
width 1440 and height 1280 and this is what i got still had to crop to use as wallpaper and couldn't drag whole image

I took the second one (the easy one ) and just repeated three pattern on all 4 sides. I used paint. Used copy and paste.

It might take a couple tries of moving and cropping to get it to look right.

edit, I had to do it over it didn't look big enough, man our screens are big lol

Second one will be harder but I'll have to work on it later.
