I'm a huge mavs fan, but I can't seem to find a wallpaper that isn't pixelated but I was wondering if someone could resize these images so I can set them as my wallpaper. I would greatly appreicate it. I simply cannot do it myself, because I do not have access to a computer at the moment. Thanks so much in advance!

When you set an image to be a wallpaper, Android will resize it for you -- you can drag to move the box, or resize it as needed.
yeah but they arent going to be clear. as in they are not the right megapixels
why not just google image.. "dallas maverick wallpaper" and filter by "large"...
be serious right meow...

I've tried resizing and everything it just gets blurry when smaller size when bigger size its clearer but the pic still isnt scaled to hd2 screen am i doing something wrong? is there an app that can claim non market pics and claim and get them to fit? i have all these epic pics but they look like **** unless i get wallpapers from market
thanks
your images should be 960x800
upscaling can make them look bad, make sure you are using a fairly big image to start with
You should check out an app from the market called "crop wallpaper ". It does what your looking for I use it all the time.

same here, the wizardrii worked great, exactly what i was looking for. tnx guys.
Does anyone know of a way to use your own picture or a downloaded picture as a fullscreen wallpaper in honeycomb?
The cropping tool sucks, any help would be greatly appreciated.
dude just read the forum before you post new thread its all over the place
anyway you can use one of those apps:
tablet wallpaper
or
wizardii
+1 for Wallpaper Wizardrii. Find it in the market, it does it perfectly.

was going to say same thing, tablet wallpaper rocks
I go to a website called HD Wallpapers, they have hundreds of wallpapers at different resolutions. Just choose 1280X800 which fit the Tab screen perfectly.
http://www.hdwallpapers.in/1280x800_wide-wallpapers-r.html
I also use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper app to auto change wallpapers after 1 mins.
i can't find tablet wallpaper
I'm using PicSpeed Wallpapers. Very nice quality, scrollable and frequent additions.
I use Backgrounds Box Wallpapers HD. I never got tablet wallpaper to work.
But searching the forum might help
Multi live wallpaper.... It gives the exact size with no distortion.

So any time I try to set a "HD" image as a wallpaper, it blurs and zooms in way too much. I've noticed this is a common issue with honeycomb tablets and have tried the "tricks" to get around it, but no luck. I know you can set wallpapers to look correct as I've seen the screenshots. Any tips on getting this done as the stock wallpapers just don't cut it?

What dimensions and resolution are the images you are trying to use?
Sent from Big Bertha
Been trying 1920x1408 as I've read that was the optimal resolution with the way honeycomb crops wallpaper images. Some look halfway decent, most just look awful. And honestly not sure image dimensions. Just been googling HD images

Search "Multipicture live wallpaper" in your market app.
It will set your images up correctly no matter what resolution they are (provided they aren't super low-res). It's a free app.
Once installed, it comes up as a choice in your regular wallpaper settings.
Sorry, I can't post links up, or I would link directly to the app.
Also, if you have a little photoshop beginning skills, you can make a template where you can overlay your image as a layer, and see exactly where things need to be moved.
When you set wallpaper from Gallery, they use a sizable template, so it will give you a good idea of what the parameters are.

Thanks. I got that and tried. While it does keep the whole image and leaves it without distortion, it is framed inside a black box. But it's better than before lol. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

Saw this as an option as well by others. Very little Photoshop skills, but I can learn lol. I'd like to use some of the different pics I find and this seems like the best alternative to still be able to use most of the image. Thanks

Yeah, I think I'll try and make a template when I get some free time.
There was a guy who had one a long time ago, in the themes section, but the link to download was broken (he had it on megaupload), and I looked and seems he deleted the thread a week or so ago. Link didn't work, but it had an image of how the template looked (similar when you choose wallpaper from gallery)
I can tell you some things.
1. keep it as a psp so you can keep the layers
2. Remember, it will have several layers. Overall size, portrait, and landscape.
3. Use a different color and transparency for each layer.
4. Also, don't forget the top, bottom, and side borders.
5. Use your image as a new layer, and move it to the back of the template, do you can see what parts are going to be shown in both portrait and landscape. Then you can resize and move around the layer as needed.

Thank you very much for the help. I'll give this a whirl as soon as I can get back to my laptop and have a chance to teach myself a little. I've found a somewhat decent alternative in the meantime, Wallpaper Wizardii. It's not perfect, but it is by far the best results other than making my own. Oh and nice ROM by the way. Thanks for your hard work.

Another great tool that will work for this purpose is Wallpaper Wizardii. It's free and is not a live wallpaper. Lots of options... In your case you should choose the "scale" option if you decide to try the app.

Hey guys,
quick question.
I make a wallpaper from my own picture cropped to 800x1280. Perfect right? I load it on my tablet it looks great but when I set it to wallpaper it forces me to crop and doesnt get past 1/4 of the picture vertically. I thought the resolution was that size? Am I missing something here?
Thanks
Pinch out to resize the crop window.

Ther iz a simple way.... go to system- framework- frameworkres.apk- draweble- ther iz a wallpaper called defaultwallpaper.png.... reset ur wallpaper to dat size.....
Hit thanx if i helped.....
Sent from my Micromax A60 using xda premium
I cant access that file to find out the size. Do you know it?
And to responder#2. I didn't mean a simple pinching of resizing the crop window. I got that. What I meant was it won't let me "pinch" out all the to my 800x1280 picture. It limits my selection area.
BTW I had this problem since day 1 of android usage. I just never cared enough to ask since phone displays are so small, but being this is my first tablet..a wallpaper makes a difference now.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Go get your own favorite 800x1280 picture. Download it, save it to gallery. And set wallpaper..you will not be able to set the ENTIRE image as wallpaper.
Figured it out.
http://androidforums.com/asus-eee-p...83827-no-more-forced-cropping-wallpapers.html
basically, download PicSpeed Wallpapers
Then when you set your pic as Wallpaper choose picspeed. And they offer different orientation.
Thanks man that app worked like a charm

Just installed CyanogenMod 10.1 - Milestone 1 on my Nexus 10, and when I try to set one of the default or cyanogen wallpapers, they're blown way up, like it thinks the screen size is much larger than it really is. I can set downloaded images as wallpapers using wallpaper wizardrii, if I don't want to have to crop them strangely, but none of the default wallpapers work correctly. Hoping someone can help me figure out what the issue is.

Quickpic is helpful, but I'm just talking about the STOCK wallpapers. For whatever reason, all of the stock wallpapers appear blown up.

cant help with the stock wall issue, but if you want to set up your own custom images as wallpapers without the need for cropping use the app. Simple Image wallpaper free, it is live wallpaper app. does the job pretty good.
