Tips & Warnings
For background pictures, you can use scanned or digital photographs, an image downloaded from the Internet, or perhaps some original artwork that you created in a graphics program. Graphics files suitable for use typically end with extensions of .bmp, .gif, .jpg, or .tif.
Wallpaper consisting of large image files will consume memory and system resources. Consider using a small image and tiling it if resources are scarce.
Please give the positive feedback. Thanks for using Fixya.

How do I change the wallpaper on my LG Android?

To change the wallpaper on your Android phone, follow the steps below:
1.Tap and hold on the "Home screen" to open the "Add to Home" menu.
2.Select "Wallpapers" and choose the type of wallpaper you want to implement. Three options may be available: Gallery, Live wallpapers, and Wallpapers.
Note: Live Wallpaper may not be an option on some phones. This is due to the limitations of the hardware of the smart phone itself.

Gallery allows you to set one of your own pictures as wallpaper. Tap "Gallery" and select your preferred picture. You can crop the part of the picture you want to use as wallpaper. Then, tap "Save" to set the picture as your background.

Live Wallpapers provides you with a set of animated backgrounds. Tap "Live Wallpapers" and select the live wallpaper you wish to use. Next, tap "Set wallpaper" to set the live wallpaper as your background.

Wallpapers are a collection of pre-installed wallpapers. Tap "Wallpapers" and select the one you prefer. Next, tap "Set wallpaper" to set the picture as your background.

    My le pan II background color changed to a mixed red - is the display going out?

    Sounds like an app changed your wallpaper settings. Try this: go to settings then click display, you will see what wallpaper you have on th list right. Touch wallpaper and choose whatever you want then click set. This may bring everything into focus with the background you need for the correct page. It seems sometimes the LePan changes color but it is actually the wallpaper somehow taking over. Let me know if changing wallpapers works to "right" the situation. I hope this helps
