If you remember, I posted 2 very beautiful wallpaper pack from the 2 biggest upcoming contender super-smartphones of the year- the HTC One and the Galaxy S4. Almost all the wallpapers from these phones were in portrait resolution. And thus, he was not able to enjoy the real look of the portrait wallpapers on his phone.
I tried to do this on several other Android phones but they do not seem to support this feature. Fortunately, the Samsung TouchWiz launcher allows you to set a portrait wallpaper but with a little trick forgive me for calling it a trick. So, here is how you can do it. As you know, on an Android phone you can set a wallpaper from four spots at least and you can apply a portrait background from any of them.
Here are the 4 ways that you can set a wallpaper on your phone. Navigate to the portrait image you want to set as background and tap on Done on the top bar. Now you have the same wallpaper on the home and lock screens both. Once your image portrait or landscape is selected, you will see a preview of your wallpaper filling up your whole screen. You may be asked whether you want to apply the wallpaper to the home screen, lock screen, or both.
Choose the appropriate option. Swipe the image right or left to adjust the visible area and, similarly, zoom in and out of the picture to change the focus. Launch any Gallery app on your phone and open the photo you want to set as wallpaper.
If you want to use a landscape photo as wallpaper, it will either be cropped or stretched. To avoid that and make the picture fit the whole screen, you will have to utilize the help of a third-party app. One useful app is Image 2 Wallpaper. Download it from Play Store, add your image to it, and adjust the wallpaper parameters. If your phone supports live wallpaper, you can use that as well. You can even create your own live and video wallpaper.
If you like checking on the weather, you can have live weather wallpaper , too. To top it all off, you can even set a GIF as wallpaper.
