what's wallpaper size for android rom on HD2 ?
Hi i think it is 960x480.
If the File has this size there is no need for scaling by Android.
Send from my [email protected] 2.2
If u want full wvga, its 480x800.
if u want ur wallpaper to span across more than 1 screen, its 960x800
But when I choose Home wallpaper, the picture are still cut, stretch
This was bugging me for the longest time and I've finally found the solution. Only way i've been able to get wallpapers to fit without cropping issues(where android zooms into the cropped section) is to use 960x800, this will however make the wallpaper span across all the screens.
Yes, IMO the best resolution is 980x800, there is an option in Launcher Pro though, if you prefer the screen stay still so the image on your home screen stays static.
Launcher Pro > Appearance Settings > Disable wallpaper scrolling.
Problem is kinda hard to find 980, don't use Google or a bunch of porn pops up when you search for exactly 980x800. There was a forum somewhere here on xda that someone posted like 50+ wallpapers all 980x800, can't remember where it's at though =\

hey guys, im now using htc legend. i have a problem with their wallpaper function. when i try to set the wallpaper by using my own picture, it came out a green box for us to crop and select which part to display the image for wallpaper. can i ask what is the optimal / best resolution? the green box cant seem to stretch to the whole image, most of the time half of the picture only. i m looking forward to display the whole picture as my wallpaper.
sry for my bad english =[ any1 help plx
try getting pics with a resolution of 320*480.
market: wallpaper set & save
640*480 is the best resolution for your wallpapers, .png files will give the best result when using wallpaper set & save

Wallpaper set&save doesn't work, or better...it works but not in the correct way. If you read the comments on the market you'll see. The guy that made it said (lot of time ago) that he is working to make it works with Android 2.1 & 2.2.
I've lost my faith in that, so I just resize by myself the wallpaper I want to 640x480.
it just works great for me on my stock legend with android 2.1
dunno what your talking about :S
This may be insanely easy to figure it, I presume it is all on my naivete regarding Android 2.2.
My hd2, as most here, is 4.3" at 480x800. I have found a few wallpapers I liked on google images and have resized them appropriately. Yet, when go to set said photo as wallpaper, it only lets me select a small portion of it and that portion is then grainy/blurred at the new resolution.
I did try finding exactly 480x800 wallpapers just to see if that was a problem, yet it only lets me select that small portion of the total image.
My question is, how do I get a 480x800 image and a superb quality, to be set as wallpaper in its entirety over my home screens without only getting just a portion or that portion being stretched to said blurriness?

make the wallpaper 960x800 should make it fit correctly
thank you for the reply.
You can resize the selection box...
There is a free market app called zedge that lets you download free wallpaper and ringtones. There is a lot of cool stuff in there. Try it out.
I use Zedge, select the Evo as my phone and go crazy.
When you select your wallpaper, press on the outside of the box and drag it out in order to use the entire image.
Thought I'd post this here since people in phone specific forums don't know.. how this is the right place....
With all the flexibility that Android OS is supposed to have, one restriction that is really aggravating me is the wallpaper size contstraint...
Is there any way to get rid of the wallpaper size restriction? My goal basically is to able to make a wallpaper as wide as the amount of screens I have so that when I go to a different screen it looks like a different wallpaper. To see what i mean, take a wallpaper and use 2 home screens only. When you switch between the two, it loads a half of the wallpaper, so if you made one picture with 2 480x800 pictures, it would look like two seperate wallpapers. What I would like to do is use 3 home screens, and a wallpaper created by using 3 480x800 pictures (1440x800), but whenever I try to set a wallpaper it forces me to crop it to a 960x800 area. Can anyone chime in on if this is at all possible?
Thanks!
I believe that it is dependent on the Home Launcher you choose, but there are alternatives.

It does not appear launcher related. I now tried Launcher, Rosie (sense), ADW, GO Launcher, Zeam Launcher, Launcher Pro, and with all of them when you set the wallpaper it takes you through the default system for setting wallpapers, where you select the wallpaper and then get forced to crop it to a locked aspect ratio.
I'm looking for a way to either change that aspect ratio it forces you to crop your pictures to, or to get rid of it and let the damn picture show as is. I really don't understand how "the most customizable platform" has to have some stupid "this is the only size wallpaper you can use" restriction.
The multilivewallpaper will allow me to use a totally different 480x800 picture on each screen, but it doesn't have a random feature, which is what I really want...
Any devs out there know of a way to change the aspect ratio of that stupid crop tool for setting wallpapers? Or how to get rid of it?
EDIT: Just saw they updated it since last I used it and with multilive you can now have it randomly change. Thanks! Will give it a shot.
EDIT 2: Works like a charm! Never thought about going back to it, so thanks for linking it otherwise I probably would not even have bothered with it again.
how to set full screen wallpaper on Galaxy Tab 10.1 ?
i have 1280*800 wallpapers and try... I don't want to crop my wallpaper
i'm already try to search but no answer. Thx.
Go to the Market and download Wallpaper Wizardrii
It will allow you to set an image without having to crop it like the Gallery does.
It will also allow you to set the image as scrollable or static.

i tried wizardii and selecto no scrool but its auto crop my wallpaper (1280*800) i wanna direct set full wallpaper.
try multi picture live wallpaper it handles some wallpapers quite well without having to manually resize/crop them.
i dont live wallpaper. only static wallpaper.
Make your picture 1920x1200 or something like this and not 1280x800 because Android would need bigger picture because of scrolling.

multi picture live wallpaper app handles static pictures also. i am using it to put separate 1280*800 picture for each screen
What they don't tell you
I have looked at this for a little while and still can't seem to get it to work as I would like it to.
I found my wallpapers were cropped while rotating screens.
With the launcher and the wizardii wallpaper I set the landscape wallpaper while the device is in portrait mode and use set Stretch Landscape.
Using a static wallpaper and the scroll off.
It still appears to crop a little but you will have a full screen image in Landscape and portrait modes (like the 5 native wallpapers when you use the default wallpaper settings).
Simple Image Wallpaper Free is all you need. It's in the Google Play store and its awesome. Forget Wallpaper Wizardrii, it's garbage.

Brought this thread back from the dead just to thank you for this recommendation! Downgraded my Note Pro 12.2 to KitKat so I could root, and the cropping wallpaper problem reared its ugly head. Tried all kinds of screwy apps and supposed solutions before finding your recommendation. It's been perfect for a week now, including reboots. Thanks again!
Honestly, I'm not really sure why this has to be so difficult. There seems to be a million different ways to set a scrolling wallpaper.
First let me tell my setup. I'm using Nova Launcher and I force it to remain in landscape mode, so when I'm on my home screen it won't rotate. This should make setting my wallpaper easier. I just need wallpaper for landscape.
I basically want to get a wallpaper that's 5300x1600 and I want it to be DOT-BY-DOT on my background. In theory this wallpaper should never have to be cropped since the resolution is basically 2 nexus 10 screens side by side. The number of pages I have on my homescreen should simply only determine how far the wallpaper shifts each time I move to another page. Less pages means greater shift.
However, no matter how I set the wallpaper, it always seems to crop completely randomly and wrong. For example, the Nova wallpaper setter has a strange cropping indicator (looks like a fat cross) that makes no sense, and the background ends up looking huge (cropped too much) and doesn't shift much when I move to the left and right through screens.
Can anyone help me find the perfect way to setup my scrolling wallpaper? Thanks.
i dont know about scrolling...but you can use simple image wallpaper to use a static image without cropping and it sets it as a live wallpaper even though its not but works perfectly

I've had TONS of trouble with using the Gallery to set my wallpaper due to cropping. On the other hand, I THINK QuickPic worked well but its been years since I've used that. Well, A year.

Use nova launcher, edit this wallpaper you got with paint, change the resolution to 2560x1600. Set this wallpaper with nova and it will be DOT-BY-DOT on your background. You can't do it with 5300x1600.
The fat cross is for the landscape preview (the horizontal bar of the cross) and the portrait preview (the vertical one).
I'm using Nova and I look for wallpapers that are around 4000x2000 so that when I crop, it fits around the tablet's resolution without losing quality.
Basically the highlighted portions in the cross will be the background of the primary home screen. It'll shift left and right as you scroll. It's not at all complicated, not even from Gallery. It's quite easy to operate.
