How to center wallpaper on homescreen????

« on: January 09, 2011, 07:51:21 PM »

I have a question that I hope there is an answer for. Is there any way to either center my wallpaper so the whole picture is on the home screen? The only way I can see my whole wall paper is to scroll over in the pages. My son has an HTC Desire and his homescreen is actually on page "3" which is center so he can see his whole wallpaper. Any help would be appreciated

I'm not seeing anything in old posts that would lead me to believe this can be fixed. I removed all my empty screens, so I just have 2 now. It is still dividing the picture in half so you have to scroll over to see the whole pic. I'm not using a picture I took myself, Im just trying to use wallpapers I got off the market. If this can't be fixed this is a stupid blunder on Samsungs part!! It's really irritating only seeing half of your wallpaper

If the image is in your gallery and its not exactly the right size, you are normally shown a blue box that you can move around or expand/contract. So, all you have to do is move the blue box where you want it and youre all set.

Thanks for the replies. This still isn't working. I downloaded screensavers via "zedge", also tried others. The image still isn't on just one screen, but spread out over all the screens. I have it down to just 2 screens now so the image is only seen as half of the image, spread out over both screens

Yeah, thats just the way it works for touchwiz. You could try other launchers like launcher pro, which I think allows you to set your home page so its not always the first. You could set the home page to the middle one.

I have 3 screens.

Using "Multipicture Live Wallpaper", I goto [Settings...]

In [Default Settings]...

Selecting [Type of screen]...

I tap on [Single picture] (even though if it is already selected)...

Go into the [Gallery]...

I chosen a picture...

Back in the [Settings...] menu, I select [Crop/Reside ratio]...

And tab on [Fit to Fullscreen].

Once those are done, I backout from the [Settings...] menu and tab on [Set wallpaper].

Now, all my 3 screens have the same, centered wallpaper.

Isn't this what you wanted?

Great instructions but my phone/ app does not respond in exactly that way.

At the final step, when I back out of the settings it just returns to my previous wallpaper and does not give me the option to set the new picture I have selected.

I have tried several times following the steps but cant set a different photo. Have I done something wrong or does this require the Froyo 2.2 update?

Thanks.

Don't need Froyo to use this Live Wallpaper.

Did you tab on [Set wallpaper] at the last step, after backing out from [Settings...]?

Can you try again after a restart of your device?

Tried it after restart but with the same result. There are a couple of differences.

When I tap on "SIngle PIcture" in the "Type of Screen" menu it takes me straight to Gallery with no other choices.

I select a picture taken by the phone camera from my Gallery but when I back out the first tap takes me back to "Settings" then the second tap takes me back to my homescreen. It does not show the new picture or offer the "Set Wallpaper" option.

I am using the TW Launcher homescreen but with only one screen, I have deleted the others.

Thanks for your help.

This is not a problem. You did not have Androzip and Astro installed, so it just brings you directly to your Gallery.

It's okay.

This is strange. It should goes back to the page where you can pick [Set Wallpaper].

Sometimes, there's a delay, you should wait a little while. Hope you didn't press the return button another time.

One more thing is that, did you select [Fit to Fullscreen] from the [Crop/Reside ratio] setting?

No problem for that too. It worked with all Launcher.

Try to play around with the settings. If you still have problem, try un-installing and re-install again from the market.
