Root background image help on miui

[VoidedSaint]

ok i am sure i know im missing a step, or somehow screwed this up, i have an image: 786_L-grave-black-spiderman-1.jpg picture by VoidedSaint - Photobucket
that i am trying to set as my background on my phone, problem is, on OMFGB it would set it the way i wanted, completely, miui seems to only do half and makes the image distorted looking. if someone can guide me to the root of my problem in setting images i would be most grateful

can you show me a pic/screenshot of how it looked on OMFGB?

 

[Greavous]

the image isnt what the DX wants as far as size goes. Have you unchecked the box for scrolling wallpaper to see if that does anything?

 

[VoidedSaint]

when you look at the image zombie imagine that it fits entirely, the side edges didnt fit completely, but length wise it was complete

 

[Greavous]

For the DX the wallpaper should be 960x854. yours is 320x480. With a small pic you need to expand the orange box around the image but then it gets grainy from my experience.

 

[VoidedSaint]

yes i know the image res for it, probem is though it doesnt expand the orange box up, its obviously in a square, and i need it more rectangular, i need height, not width, thats what im getting at, when its set properly, it looks perfect, moment i will upload the image of it on omfgb and post it

What its supposed to look like

What it looks like now

What trying to size the image does

 

[Greavous]

I see what you mean now. Im at a bit of a loss to a solution. I dont use a wallpaper at all. My background is pure black.

 

[VoidedSaint]

yeah now you see my predicament, its confusing and i hope i can get it to work maybe someone else knows the answer to this.





hopefully

Ummm..... to get this to fit correctly, its gonna take me a little while to screw around with, but I'm pretty sure I can get it fixed for ya. If I had Photoshop CS5, it'd be no problem with the new content aware scale feature they added, but I've got CS4. Let me see what I can do with it tonight.

 

[VoidedSaint]

thanks zombie, if you get it working for me id really appreciate it

 

[z0mb13m4n]

zombie your the man, thanks bud

 

[Greavous]

See, wrong size. Wonder why OMFGB handled it so differently than MIUI?

 

[VoidedSaint]

i dunno, i know in omfgb i rotated the image several times, and then it took the image completely, which is bizarre, but it works so im happy
