Touchwiz doesn't have scrolling wall paper so it has to crop to fit on one homescreen.

There are scrolling wallpaper apps on play I believe. I use go launcher so not an issue for me

 

Problem is in the car dock in landscape mode you get black bars on the side. Which looks bad.

 

I use a free app called Multipicture Live Wallpaper. You can resize any picture to fit the screen you use. Also allows a different picture on each screen or one common picture that can be scrolled. Works with Touch Wiz.

 

Sounds interesting. Will it scroll a panaromaic picture?

 

I use Go Launcher as well and when I pick a wallpaper through it, it makes me crop. The only way for me to actually use the entire graphic is to pick it through Zedge.

 

I noticed this today too. When I pick an image from the Gallery to use as Wallpaper in Go Launcher it forces me to crop with a portrait type size (tall and thin) and then when I scroll my home screens it does this weird shifting thing where it looks like two images on top of each other but off center. If I pick from Wallpapers instead then it works fine. Totally annoying!

Here are some screenshots.

The first is the forced crop when selecting the wallpaper.



The second is the weird display when viewing the farthest left home screen.

 

d/l the app but can't see how do you get a picture to scroll

 

its a limitation of TouchWiz unfortunately...no launcher is going to fix it...though as some have noted there are apps out there to work around it...

 

I can give you an example............this is a picture of a bird and it's native size is 1024H by 692W. That is not even close to being the correct size for the S3 screen but Multipicture Live Wallpaper will allow you to custom resize and crop so it works well on the S3 screen.

 

Hey guys my question is different and haven't seen anybody ask this yet I dont give a Damn about the screen savers backgrounds I just dont want to be forced to use a portion my photos when I set Them as contact photos if I wanted to use part of the pic I would have only taken a partial pic how can i fix this if not I'm gonna smash this almost thousand dollar peice of shit and go back to my original evo 4g

 

That sounds rational you should do that.

 

hey ndh777,
Resizing your image in pc would be more preferable. It will be easy and less time consuming.

 

It appears you are under "common settings".

Look and you will see the option to do separate screens............the + button will allow you to have different settings for each screen.

 

Try taking a screenshot of the wallpaper then use the saved screenshot as your wallpaper

 

Use Quickpic as your default gallery browser. It handles it without cropping

 

When I try to set the wallpaper with Quickpic...it doesnt do anything...it just hangs there..

 

I was wondering, I use go launcher and mine still wants me to edit (depending on where I get the wallpaper) is there a setting I'm missing? And what if I want to entire picture compressed to fit the screen and not scroll? Is there a setting for that? Thanks in advance

 

sorry...start smashing

interesting idea that i had not thought of...and will work with certain images!

the problem is...once you go into the gallery to select a picture youre now in an app designed around the TouchWiz framework...so its going to make you crop it...

 

Hmmm, that is strange. I used Go Launcher on my Galaxy Captivate and was able to select a photo from the Gallery and use it as a scrollable wallpaper. Yet that doesn't seem to work on the Galaxy S3 using Go Launcher.
