Parallexing background upside down and not fullscreen

Question

I'm building a live wallpaper with Andengine and I am having troubles starting it off. I cannot seem to get a parallexing background working. The end result of my code results in the assets upsidedown on the top right of the screen.

public class WallpaperService extends BaseLiveWallpaperService {

private static final int CAMERA_WIDTH = 800;
private static final int CAMERA_HEIGHT = 480;

private static final String BG_FOREGROUND = "background/arctic_foreground.png";
private static final String BG_MIDGROUND  = "background/arctic_midground.png";
private static final String BG_BACKGROUND = "background/arctic_land.png";

private static final int BG_TEXTURE_ATLAS_HEIGHT_WIDTH = 2048;
private static final int BG_FOREGROUND_START_HEIGHT = 0;
private static final int BG_MIDGROUND_START_HEIGHT = 600;
private static final int BG_BACKGROUND_START_HEIGHT = 1200;

private Camera camera;
private BitmapTextureAtlas backgroundTexture;
private TextureManager textureManager;
private TextureRegion mParallaxLayerFront;
private TextureRegion mParallaxLayerBack;
private TextureRegion mParallaxLayerMid;

@Override
public EngineOptions onCreateEngineOptions() {
    camera = new Camera(0, 0, CAMERA_WIDTH, CAMERA_HEIGHT);
    EngineOptions engineOptions = new EngineOptions(true, ScreenOrientation.LANDSCAPE_FIXED, new FillResolutionPolicy(), this.camera);
    engineOptions.setWakeLockOptions(WakeLockOptions.SCREEN_ON);
    textureManager = new TextureManager();
    return engineOptions;
}

@Override
public void onCreateResources(OnCreateResourcesCallback pOnCreateResourcesCallback) throws Exception {
    BitmapTextureAtlasTextureRegionFactory.setAssetBasePath("gfx/");

    this.backgroundTexture = new BitmapTextureAtlas(textureManager, BG_TEXTURE_ATLAS_HEIGHT_WIDTH, BG_TEXTURE_ATLAS_HEIGHT_WIDTH, TextureOptions.DEFAULT);
    this.mParallaxLayerFront = BitmapTextureAtlasTextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.backgroundTexture, this, BG_FOREGROUND, 0, BG_FOREGROUND_START_HEIGHT);
    this.mParallaxLayerBack = BitmapTextureAtlasTextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.backgroundTexture, this, BG_BACKGROUND, 0, BG_MIDGROUND_START_HEIGHT);
    this.mParallaxLayerMid = BitmapTextureAtlasTextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.backgroundTexture, this, BG_MIDGROUND, 0, BG_BACKGROUND_START_HEIGHT);

    this.mEngine.getTextureManager().loadTexture(this.backgroundTexture);
}

@Override
public void onCreateScene(OnCreateSceneCallback pOnCreateSceneCallback) throws Exception {
    final Scene scene = new Scene();
    final AutoParallaxBackground autoParallaxBackground = new AutoParallaxBackground(0, 0, 0, 0);
    autoParallaxBackground.attachParallaxEntity(new ParallaxBackground.ParallaxEntity(0.0f,
            new Sprite(0, 0, this.mParallaxLayerBack, getVertexBufferObjectManager())));

    autoParallaxBackground.attachParallaxEntity(new ParallaxBackground.ParallaxEntity(0.0f,
            new Sprite(0, 0, this.mParallaxLayerMid, getVertexBufferObjectManager())));

    autoParallaxBackground.attachParallaxEntity(new ParallaxBackground.ParallaxEntity(0.0f,
            new Sprite(0, 0, this.mParallaxLayerFront, getVertexBufferObjectManager())));

    scene.setBackground(autoParallaxBackground);
    pOnCreateSceneCallback.onCreateSceneFinished(scene);
}

@Override
public void onPopulateScene(Scene pScene, OnPopulateSceneCallback pOnPopulateSceneCallback) throws Exception {
    pOnPopulateSceneCallback.onPopulateSceneFinished();
}

Result

Any help is greatly appreciated

All the images have 600 px of heigth? the problem seems to be that the images are collapsing with each other.

Maybe the problem is here:

autoParallaxBackground.attachParallaxEntity(
    new ParallaxBackground.ParallaxEntity(0.0f,
        new Sprite(0, 0, this.mParallaxLayerBack, getVertexBufferObjectManager())));

try to use this code:

autoParallaxBackground.attachParallaxEntity(new ParallaxBackground.ParallaxEntity(0.0f,
     new Sprite(0, CAMERA_HEIGHT- this.mParallaxLayerBack.getHeight(),
                this.mParallaxLayerBack, getVertexBufferObjectManager())));

i hope this will help you!
