Freakshow

Is it possible for me to NOT crop a picture from my gallery. What size does it have to be for me to be able to use the whole image?

I've tried extending the orange bars like everyone says, but I don't know how to do that right! It only uses half the image 100% of the time.

Thanks in advance.
 
That's not how Android wallpapers work. At any given time, you're only going to see about half the wallpaper. This is because when you swipe from one homescreen to another, the wallpaper moves slightly too. And when you change the phone orientation (from portrait to landscape), the wallpaper is going to change orientations too to keep it right-side-up. So it's going to have to crop in order to have enough wallpaper to fill the screen in both orientations.

I LOVE my EVO 3D but I wish there was another way. This is one problem that I didn't have with my iphone. It worked great on that phone, just wondering why it is so much of a problem for evo3d. I had a 1st gen iphone from 4 years ago.
