Hi,
Can someone please tell me when getting wallpapers for my homescreen which screen resolution i should be using?
Reason why is i downloaded some from zedge.net and before hand choose my mobile so it only showed wallpapers that are compatible with my phone.
They are 240 x 320. When i choose to set as homescreen wallpaper it shows a box on top of image althou i adjust the box to it's max the whole image is not within the box so ends up only the image that is within the white box is showing.
I am confused as i have some nice wallpapers but i can't benefit from them as the full image is not shown.
Can someone please advise what resolution i should be downloading them in or should i be doing something on the phone before hand to the image?
Thanks
MR
Use dodol wallpaper maker or wallpaper set and save. I usually have wallpapers of 320x480, 480x640 or 640x960.
Hi,
Thanks Dodol Wallpaper Maker has saved the day
Thanks
I make my wallpapers 480x320 in .png and they always work perfectly, and I'm always able to select them fully when cropping.

i made a wallpaper and made it 480x800 but when i try to set it as my wallpaper it make me select a small portion of the picture then it stretches that and make it the wallpaper. i can resize the selection but it maintains aspect ratio and still stretches it. is there way to just set the entire picture? or fit to screen?
The actual resolution, since sense pans the picture, is 960x800. I have no idea how to make it so the screen is fixed and you can just use 800x480. You can also drag the corners of the box to resize the part of the picture it uses
Download Wallpaper Set & Save on the market. Make a folder named Wallpapers on your SD card. Load it w/ wallpapers(.png files for better resolution) then launch the WS&S app and choose a pic. It'll do the rest for you. Hope this helps....

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
When I want to select a picture I got from my PC to my X8 in the correct resolution I still have to crop the picture to make it look pixelated and crap. Why does the X8 force me to do this?
hey its easy..the thing with picture is that the over all resolution of the wallpaper for x8 is greater than the resolution of the screen. like you may have more then one window like in case of three. the resolution would be like 320*3=940 into 480 res picture. if you want single slide then i think there is other wallpaper application which doesnot use the default wallpaper chooser program and got it own. right now i forget the name. but there is app for it.
Hi,
I am trying to set an image as my homescreen wallpaper. However, when I choose "Set as Wallpaper," it brings me to a cropping screen where I have to select a portion of the image as the wallpaper. As a result, the portion that I select is chosen as the wallpaper, resulting in a zoomed/blurry/pixelated wallpaper.
Is there anyway I can use the whole image as a wallpaper? I tried using images of all resolutions from 1280x800 to 1920x1080. Yet, I have to crop the image in all attempts.
Thanks
Download quickpic and try using it for the wallpaper.

You can also try using Multi picture live wallpaper or custom launcher like Nova, Apex etc

Hi, STXInnovation...
Not all wallpapers (images) will crop exactly according to the screen metrics of the Nexus 7... it depends on the images dimensions; usually you have to put up with a compromise... (1280x1024 seems to be the optimal).
You can edit the image (scale it) with something like Photo Editor, but it's a lot of messing round, and there is usually some lossage (resolution) in the saved result.
As alluded to by both @redmonke255 and @ashik992, a combination of an alternative launcher (like Apex), and QuickPic will afford you more wallpaper cropping options then with the stock launcher or gallery.
---------------------------------
Personally, I've never been a big fan of scrolling wallpapers on the Nexus 7 anyway... used primarily in portrait mode, I prefer static wallpapers. On a 10" inch tablet, used in landscape mode, scrolling wallpapers looks terrific.
So, on my Nexus 7, here's I how set up my wallpaper...
In Apex Launcher settings, there is an option called 'Wallpaper Mode', for which you can set 'Single Screen (non-scrolling)'... then with QuickPic, select (and load) your chosen wallpaper, and then choose 'Set as... (QuickPic Wallpaper)' from the menu... a moveable/re-sizeable cropper box will appear of the same screen dimensions as the Nexus 7. Hit the tick button in the top right hand corner..., and your wallpaper will be set accordingly.
This is just one possible setup out of many... so it's worth tinkering until you find something you're happy with.
Finally, PicSpeed HD Wallpapers is also worth looking into; as well as offering a veritable cornucopia of excellent wallpapers for download, it also provides good cropping abilities, which can be accessed directly from QuickPic with any images you happen to have stored on your Nexus 7.
----------------------------------
Hope this helps, and gives you some pointers.

The Nexus can take several wallpaper sizes.
Stock, the wallpaper size should be 1600x1280. That is, 1600 width, 1280 height.
If you install simple image wallpaper (free), you can use 800x1280 or 1280x800 images as well (for portrait, and landscape, respectively).
If you're using nova launcher, by default, it will accept 1920x1280 and 800x1280 sized images without cropping.
If you want to scale an image, I recommend using supersampling in paint.NET.
