I've been looking for some nice high quality wallpapers for my g2 does anyone know of any? share your fav. wallpapers cuz im just stuck with the stock ones =/
download zedge app from the market, lots of wallpapers and ringtones.
nicee app thanks!
Zedge is great. Also the Appbrain market also has nice HQ wallpapers that can be pushed to your phone from their website. www.appbrain.com then on the right side "Browse Gallery".
You can also try an app called "Backrounds". It's pretty good as well.
Or you can open Photoshop and crop ANY photo/wallpaper/background you want.
That's how I did all mine and i do believe the resolution is 960 by 800.

The stock gallery app on the Nexus One is HORRIBLE. Flashy, shiny, touchy, yes. But all of my photos are incredibly compressed and zooming in results in a massive JPG compression artifact fest.
I wrote a bunch of notes on a whiteboard and my friend with a Droid and I both took photos of it to keep a record with our phones, but to my horror, the notes were COMPLETELY unreadable on my phone: all of the detail was gone, even though the camera preview after I took the shot looked fine zoomed in.
The Droid does not have this problem in its gallery app.
I found another Gallery app meant for the Droid on the market and it does not have this issue. The photos I took were fine, it was the gallery app loading a piss poor quality version of the photo.
Does Google know their gallery app sucks? Do they just not care? It makes it seem like the Nexus One takes godawful pictures when really the pictures are just fine!
Yep.

This also extends to setting wallpapers from the gallery app, which explains why every wallpaper from my camera looks like ass.
If you set wallpapers using "wallpaper set and save" from the market, your wallpapers are WAY, WAY higher quality.
So I guess my question is, how do we make sure Google knows about this bug?

It is an app that's on the market.

Been searching for a while trying to find some info on the color depth on the Super AMOLED screens on the Galaxy S line.
Reason being, I have to be very wary of what wallpapers I use on my phone, because many end up looking very bad. You see distinct lines in various gradients as if the color depth of the screen is just very low.
It's a little disconcerting, and confusing, given how great these screens are supposed to be.
For example, there is a new wallpaper Android Central (posted just the other day) featuring their new logo/mascot. The wallpapers looks fine on my LCD monitor on my computer, but when I put them on my phone, I see lines in the background gradient that shouldn't be there. It doesn't seem like the screen can render those 'in-between' colors.
Anyone have any insight on this? Is it in fact the screen? Are other phones like this too?
I did read something about the fact that Android 2.1 maxes at 16bit color but 2.2 remedies this limitation, but I'm not sure if this is accurate, applicable to the situation, or even true.
Thanks in advance.
Download the Acquarium free live wallpaper in the market. The colors look amazing on my phone. There's also the Avatar movie, in the bright scenes the colors really "pop".
Let's hope froyo adds that feature, I've noticed it too on some colors, but its a minor annoyance, I'm sure if android supported larger screen resolution like gingerbread will have, samsung would have put a 1280x720 screen in there. Maybe the S2

As a photographer I put several of my Hi Res works on my Phone. I did not even downsize them and just moved them to the phone so they would not be downsized automatically. I found the Gallery displays them perfectly, all be it with a slight over saturation. But the depth is great, really really good. I have used it as a mini portfolio, its that good.
However if I make any of them a wallpaper the phone dummies the shot way down and I loose sharpness, pixel depth, contrast, even that over saturation I spoke of. Its seems to me the shots are forced down to a "good" wallpaper size to not drain resources maybe? If a large hi res photo is not down sampled in small increments a little at a time it looses a ton of quality. But should not shots made for wallpaper from the market work well too? Maybe the Vibrant dummies all shots down for the wallpaper since all screen sizes are different?
Now if I could only get the Gallery to stop hanging on start up after the Ji6 update...ugh
It could be the stock gallery app that is ****ing up the wallpapers. I recommend using an app called "Wallpaper Set & Save" which allows you to set any size wallpaper without ****ing up the quality. Zedge is another great app with tons of dope wallpapers and doesn't destroy the resolutions of your wallpapers.

Cool! apps like that I was not even aware of. thanks.
I just tried Photoshop Express app for Android to set a Hi Res pic to wallpaper. Fail. It down graded it substantially, It must use the crappy internal phone method also. Gonna check out the recommended apps thanks.
I am currently using 3 Gallery apps on the DHD; HTC Stock, Floating Image, and Gallery 3D.
Over all i think i prefer gallery 3D but it has some issues, when zooming in with Gallery 3D the image is a lot fuzzier than the HTC app.
It seems to be Version 1.1.3...
Is there anything that can be done?
There seems to be a distinct lack of options when it comes to the app.
I noticed this too and rated it low and left a comment...
I guess the dev isn't bothered at this point
Dev? I thought google was the dev, oops :/
Did it not come with the nexus one as stock?
Edit:
You rated it low? It is still awesome, id give it 4* with one deducted for lack of configuration options and fuzzy zoom...
I forget, I think I gave it 2 or 3. The fact you can't zoom in on an image seems a pretty massive drawback on an image app...
Yeah, I thought it was Google, but you'll see it in the Markets so...?
The description of the market app says its a 3rd party port if i remember correctly
Having said that, that means theres some source floating around, i'll have a look and see what the problem is, should be a fairly simple fix...
Would be very interested if you did. Be sure to let me know here if you do!
Hey I was also wondering how that app went on the dhd... i had it on hero but was slower then a sumo wrestler rock climbing!
but don't Cooliris make the app?
http://www.cooliris.com/mobile/nexus-one/
It is buttery smooth, no lag whatsoever
I installed Gallery 3D from Market couple hours ago because HTC own gallery app doesn't show pics from Picasa web albums and for me its superfast. And pictures are sharp and I can zoom in and out.

To clarify, everything works great, you CAN zoom in, but it does re-render the images.
If you zoom in on the Sense Gallery app, it will re-draw it showing the finest possible detail.
Zoom in on Gallary 3D and it doesn't redraw it Looks fuzzy when you zoom right in.
Anyone know of a good place to get wallpapers for our Notes?
Apps such as Zedge and Flickie HD don't seem to keep wallpapers that are high-enough resolution, and most sites that stock 1280x800 wallpapers have landscape orientation ones.
Wallpapers
Found some nice ones at phandroid, http://androidforums.com/android-themes/937-official-wallpaper-thread.html
you can try googling images and specifying exactly the size of the image you want. assign the orientation through the pixel amount for height and width.

Does anyone know if there's a place to upload images to xda?

That resolution would not account for the scrolling wallpaper. I believe the native resolution of the Note incl. scrolling is 1600x1280.

I know that it's not a huge selection, but we already have a Wallpaper thread on the Galaxy Note Subforums. Maybe a merge?

Good idea. Sorry, I had not seen your link.
Hi guys. I looked everywhere but i can't find wallpapers for this device.
When i find something cool and try to set it it looks horrible.
Can you please link some cool wallpaper and the size of the ideal wallpaper for the G pad?
Thanks.

The screen resolution for the gpad is 1920x1200. Any wallpaper this size will fit perfectly. There are also a lot of apps that let you download and setup wallpapers.

Yeah, trouble is a lot of wallpapers usually found is made with the proportions in reverse. So basically a 1080p wallpaper wouldn't be enough! We lack right around 900 pixels on the long end. You would need to find a site that offers highres, above 1080p images as wallpapers. I'll see if I can find a few when I get home.
On the other hand, if you were to use the tablet mostly in landscape mode, a cut og a 1080p desktop wallpaper would look crisp..
