Dumb wallpaper question with Galaxy Nexus and android

[daso]

Ok, so I completely understand that once you select an image in your gallery for the wall paper, it makes you select a portion (crop) the picture before you can set it as the wallpaper. My question is when someone has made a wallpaper for your particular resolution (in this case the galaxy nexus), how do you get the whole image as the wallpaper instead of being forced to crop it somewhat? and then getting only part of the wallpaper onscreen?. Sorry if this has been explained, but I've searched everywhere and can't find the answer.

Question sounds logical. I'd like to know as well. I thought a large screen would allow more of a full option.

I'm not sure about the Galaxy Nexus in general but I believe that the cropped area is what it shows on your home screen and as you scroll it goes to the other parts of the image. side-to-side.

As for to get the whole image on, I'm not quite sure, I think even though you use a small image, it just scales it too work.

Hope I helped!

You are correct that it can scroll to different areas of the image to select and crop, but that is the question as well. Is there a way to use the whole image if it has been formatted for the resolution of your screen. Can you just bypass having to crop an area of the photo?

Great free app in market resolved issue, wallpaper wizardrii. Works really well and lets you use any photo to fit screen.

If it is similar to the Thunderbolt...

Try this: Long press on the frame portion of crop mark and drag down to make the largest frame. Much like how you would resize a window on your PC by dragging the edge, using the mouse.

If the image is the exact proportions of the screen (aspect ratio) there will be no cropping. You'll be able to get the entire image.

This is what I see befofe adjusting the crop:

1. find the exact wallpaper size for your particular phone. for example the G-Nex is 1440x1280.
2. use MS Paint to copy and paste your image onto a 1440x1280 image plain background. i like black.
3. paste the image so that the exact center is at the 720 horizontal x 640 vertical pixel.

good luck.

The Galaxy Nexus works just like every other Android phone I've owned. Just select the edge of the crop box and stretch it to make it bigger. It helps to put the box in the top left corner then grab the bottom right of the box and drag it to the bottom right side of the image to select the entire picture.
