Title: wallpaper picture full size?
Post by: RobInfinity on February 23, 2013, 05:31:44 PM

Hey everyone,

Is there any way to get my fullsize picture as wallpaper? I always seem to get this expandable box that only lets me use part of the picture when I try to use one as wallpaper-

That's actually the gallery that forces you to crop the image. What you need to do is use another image gallery to select your background. Try Camera JB+ from the market. I know that it's included gallery do not force the crop. You can search the market for a free gallery that does what your looking for if you wish...

Well the Camera JB+ does the same thing, so I wasted the money buying it.

Any other ideas on how to do this?

There is always a trial period. About 15 minutes. You cab return it in they okay store during that time.

You may have your default already set. Were you able to select the other gallery when choosing a wallpaper? How are you going about selecting the wallpaper?

Yeah I can select both galleries. I am mostly doing it by holding my finger on the desktop till I get a choice. But if I go to the picture I want and use the menu, it is the same thing.

If my default is already set, how do I change the default?

Hi, I'm new here and thought I'd pass on a really cool wallpaper app I got at Google Play. It has tons of awesome pictures, is free and will let you use full screen wallpapers.  Hope this helps  :D

Using an alternative launcher like Nova Launcher allows you more wallpaper cropping control...
