how?

 

check out the wallpaper plus app, lets you set wallpapers of any size or shape. Not sure if that's really worth $2 to you or not but there you go

 

Wow, they should fix this... Not sure if it's an HTC or an Android issue but you should not have to buy a separate to set wallpapers properly.

 

You dont have to buy an app, the phone does a perfectly good job by itself, but if you want them to fit perfectly without cropping you have to make sure theyre the exactly correct aspect ratio (e.g. 640x480, 1024x768, 1600x1200). Not exactly an uncommon screen size.

What wallpaper plus basically does is let you put wallpapers on with incorrect aspect ratios, so you can have very wide or narrow images - the effect of this is that the scroll ratio of the background to the foreground changes when moving between home screens, you can get it so that its exactly a 1:1 ratio if you want. The app also lets you stitch together multiple 320x480 images so that you have one image per screen.

 

- nada -

 

or just use Zedge app!

 

Can't you just maximise the crop box?

 

Just checking but that image is the wrong ratio. When I'm looking for wallpapers I use Google image search

Search term imagesize:640x480

Or what ever other size I want. Its limited but stops distortion
