How can i made a large pic to fit into the screen for wallpaper?
I tried to set some pics as my wallpaper but due to the size of the pic my screen only show parts of the pic instead of making the pics fit to screen.
though having the dimension of the image set to 800x480 is not the perfect size due to portions on top and bottom part are used by the toolbars, it works great.

I was checking zedge.net and found the wallpapers were posted there all of so small resolution. At first I thought it was the 480*800 resolution but then found the HD2 walls were right, but not Desire's. Why?
Its because as you swipe through the screens the wallpaper moves. I don't have a problem with them
While you're right about the wallpaper moving, the Zedge files are oversized. Try to set a standard wallpaper using the built-in function, not Zedge. You'll be brought to a screen with a crop rectangle that you can move around the picture, to select what will be shown on the screen. The crop is significantly smaller than the actual image.
The problem is... even the HTC original wallpapers are too large, as well. I don't think it's a Zedge-only issue. I wonder how the N1 handles standard wallpapers...

Try giving that crop rectangle a pull at one of the corners or sides.
Thanks for the tip, I had no idea you could resize the crop rectangle
Well... I guess that leaves just Zedge acting weirdly...
hi there, i have a picture of my missus that i want to put as the lock screen wallpaper however it tiles the same picture as it is smaller than the screen (480x800). i was wondreing if there was a way of getting the picture to be centred in the screen, with a blank background, similar to the XP setting.
i have tried enlarging the photo to 480 x 800 but it doesnt look right

You need something that will resize it and keep the aspect ratio, and then resize it to either 480x... or ...x800, then add a black background to fill the gaps at the top & bottom or sides.
I'll do it for you if you like - just send me a link to the pic.
ah okayyy i think i could work that, i;ll give it a go and if i fail then i will send you a link...cheers

i made a wallpaper and made it 480x800 but when i try to set it as my wallpaper it make me select a small portion of the picture then it stretches that and make it the wallpaper. i can resize the selection but it maintains aspect ratio and still stretches it. is there way to just set the entire picture? or fit to screen?
The actual resolution, since sense pans the picture, is 960x800. I have no idea how to make it so the screen is fixed and you can just use 800x480. You can also drag the corners of the box to resize the part of the picture it uses
Download Wallpaper Set & Save on the market. Make a folder named Wallpapers on your SD card. Load it w/ wallpapers(.png files for better resolution) then launch the WS&S app and choose a pic. It'll do the rest for you. Hope this helps....

Thanks to BigSk225 for this method. works well
got dhd what size screen saver do i need as when i down load any the picture dont fit on the screen thx
960x800 size is a good fit.
Also if you didn't know, when selecting a big as picture for a wallpaper and you get that box which you can move around to select what you want to display as the wallpaper, you can also resize it by dragging outwards at the corners.
On my previous Android phones the wallpaper was wider than one screen and it would shift a little with each home screen I looked at. My Note 3 doesn't seem to do this. I looked at wallpapers for it online and they were all 1920x1280 so I made one for my phone at that size but when I tried to load it the phone asked me the crop the photo down to the single screen size. Is there a trick to making it accept the full size wallpapers?
