More a work around.

tired of it stretching my wallpaper. so the idea hit me. give it some dead space to stretch so the end result is "unstretched" effectively.

first I made my desired wallpaper 1920 pixels tall the same as the screen.

I then started adding "padding" turns out 240pixels top and bottom is what you need.

canvas the height by 240pixels (so you end up with letter boxing 240 on both top and bottom) and when you set the crop on android (encompasing the padding) the end result is the proper wallpaper unstretched :)

do NOT do this for the lock screen as it properly displays what you select without "blowing" it up.
