That isn't solved. That's a workaround.

On HC devices, try setting an image as your wallpaper. Even if the image is really high-res, it only allows you to select a very small portion of the picture to use as a wallpaper. The end result is, your selection gets all blown-up and pixelated. It's nigh-impossible to get a good-looking, full-res wallpaper without using one of the stock wallpapers or a workaround.
Is this really a honeycomb issue or is it the form factor of the screen needing to have a wallpaper that fits portrait and landscape? I wonder how wallpaper selection is on the smaller galaxy tabs?

If an image fits the screen, it fits. It shouldn't matter what way I'm holding it.
think about what you have said.
if you have a landscape picture then rotate ur screen to portrait youll get black bars top and bottom.
Landscape height = 800pixels
Portrait height = 1280 pixels
then youll start complaing why do i have black bars when my screen is in portrait mode -_-
Actually his question is legit. Why the picture has to rotate? Let's say he wants to use a picture of a metal grid as the background, that picture doesn't really have to move or rotate (just like it happens on computers). There should be an option in the settings to allow this, I completely agree with him even if I doubt I'll use it very often.
You guys do realize that this is not a bug or error.. It's a feature, the small portion you are referring to is the actual homescreen.. When you select a wallpaper it's a sort of cross. Why is it a cross? Well when you open the app drawer the wallpaper scrolls down to give another perspective.. So basicly, the horizontal bar of the cross is the actual wallpaper on the homescreen. The vertical bar is for scrolling up in the app drawer. If you don't want that move to another launcher, or set wallpaper scrolling to off.
lol @ feature.
Lets make sure the picture you want as a desktop....the thing most easily identifiable as customizing....the thing youve been doing with your desktop since windows 98....lets make sure we make it the biggest pain in the ass for you to change it to what you want.
Its ugly ,its stupid ,and useless.
All 3rd party apps door poor jobs of keeping the original res.
So AGAIN...does ICS fix this ? Anyone with half a brain or 15 seconds of Android use knows that a pain this is.

I agree. It's very annoying, and needs to be fixed'

if you resize your wallpaper to 1900x1408 (or is it 1900x1425?), and the wallpaper won't be stretched. You have to use larger images than the screen resolution because of the way the wallpaper scrolls.
Though I do have to say, my HP touchpad (running ICS) renders wallpapers much better than the galaxy tab does. It does have a different aspect ratio though
