whos knows why?
Updates : 2560x1600 will work
Thanks to seshmaru!
it wont let just set it as is
it always make me crop them and the crop square is always smaller then the actual picture
Because you need a higher resolution image. It's a scrolling background you know.

so how high?
1920 X 1080?
1920 x 1200?
higher, its its over 2000 px in width, if you want wallpapers 2560x1650 wallpapers are a pretty common format and scale much better.
that seems like a giant res
its 1200x1200 + homescreen scrolling and zooming, so yeah.

so do we all agree on 2560 x 1650?
i'll try that
ok so its not blurry anymore
but it will shift down after you set it
i'm sure the minimum resolution of wallpaper in eee pad is 1920x1408
I had a terrible time finding the right res, then found walpaper wizardi app. Some glitches but takes anypicu throw at it and BAM perfect res!

When resizing a wallpaper to use as the lock screen pic, there is some severe resolution drop.
Are there some high res wallpapers in portrait mode at native sgs2 resolution, maybe that will help?

If your wallpapers are 480 x 800, resolution is fine. Just increase the yellow frame to cover all the screen and you won't lose any resolution.
you can change the lock screen wsllpaprr ? how ?

Okay. I love the Earth wallpaper in the above thread. I have a cutdown version on my lockscreen. I can't get the yellow box to expand over the full pic. I absolutely want to take advantage of the screen and display the utmost resolution that I can on the lockscreen. What am I doing wrong?

The SGSII's resolution is 480x800. Since the Earth wallpaper is 960x800, you will only get the yellow box to cover half of it. You can't make magic resolution appear on a screen that is limited by 480x800.

Yeah, just choose some 480x800 wallpapers for lockscreen and you will be fine. 960 x 800 works for selecting background wallpaper when choosing extended view. Samsung's way of cropping/selecting wallpapers is a pain the @ss anyway. I gotta try at least 2-3 times until i am able to select the whole pic, most of the time i select a small portion which forces me to go back and select the wallpaper again
Hey guys i have pictures i cant get display the full pic because when you set a picture as a background it will only allow you select like half the picture to set as a background is there anyway around this?
The picture size you select must maintain the aspect ratio of the atrix's screen. Its 540x960 pixels, or a 9:16 aspect ratio. Either find wallpapers of this resolution/aspect ratio or be stuck "cropping" your wallpapers. I hope this explanation helped. If it did, hit thanks.

P.S. I use Quickpic for setting wallpapers because its crop tool is smooth, and it never degrades the photo quality like the stock Wallpaper Chooser does.

Well what is anoying is if you use cm settings to set a custom lockscreen it will set the picture correctly and show the whole pic

Yep quick pic is the best for setting wallpapers. Default Android wallpaper manager always used to introduce bad gradients and I kept blaming Atrix for it but its actually the app.

Can anyone who already has their nexus 10 confirm the correct wallpaper resolution required?
Bearing in mind 2560x1600 is before the scrolling that it does.
Thanks!
It has to be at least 2560 × 2560 because you also need to account for screen orientation. Good news is I'm pretty sure it doesn't scroll the wallpaper unlike the Nexus 4, so you shouldn't need something too absurd - I guess 2560² should be fine,

Can someone confirm if wallpaper scrolling is an option or not?

I believe it is with a 3rd-party launcher; idk about stock though.
Well mine arrived and it does scroll, can turn it off with other apps.
Need to find the right resolution so most of the picture still fits when you have to do the crop thing setting wallpapers...

I'm also looking for this. 2560x1600 is the lanscape resolution on each home screen. What is the total landscape resolution? Is it 5120x1600?
I have your answer!

So, I made a grid in photoshop and played around with various dimensions - sending the image back and forth from my computer to my Nexus 10 - and found some dimensions that work perfectly.
Basic
Width: 1940 px
Height: 1250 px
Resolution: 72 ppi
Of course we have to take into account the N10's awesome resolution of 2560x1600, which equates to resolution of 299 ppi. Thus, keeping the aspect ratio the same as above and setting the resolution at an even 300 ppi, we get the following:
Width: 8083 px
Height: 5208 px
Resolution: 300 ppi
[Edit 11/24 - at a reasonable hour in the evening]
I don't know what I was thinking at 3am when I posted the above, but that resolution is outrageously large. Guess what happens when you scale the size back down and keep the same aspect ratio! You get dimensions of
Width: 2560 px
Height: 1650 px
Resolution: 300 ppi
Duh!
So after all that, all there really is to conclude is that you can design your backgrounds for the exact dimensions Google has advertised. That still accounts for scrolling, and will fit quite nicely. I would only note that a height of 1650 seems to fit slightly better. As far as resolution goes, go with whatever you feel is best. IMO, 72 ppi is too low (background seems a little blurry), and 300 ppi is probably too high and creates an unnecessarily large file size. 300 ppi is usually reserved for printing, not computer displays. I would recommend you find something in between that works for you.
Now go design something cool! :highfive:

I sent images back and forth also but never got true results. The TRUE wallpaper size is 3966x2560. This is verified by Google's own wallpaper for the Nexus 10 and this size works perfectly with their crop tool. 3966x2560 is the correct size for the Nexus 10. No need in making them any bigger.
i want some recommendations of videos/photos to show off the gorgeous screen of S4. And some places to find amazing wallpapers. Most apps dont have wallpapers for HD screen yet, all of em are upscaled and they dont look as good as default wallpapers.

I implore you to go to www.wallbase.cc to download some of the wallpapers there. You can search random at the resolution of your liking. Here is a direct link to random wallpapers @ 2560 X 1600 which compliments this tablet perfectly:
http://wallbase.cc/random?section=w...x1600&thpp=32&purity=100&board=21&aspect=0.00
Do not save the thumbnail. Click the one you want, it will open the big picture in another tab, save that, then go view that in your gallery.
Prepare......your eyes will melt
Just trust me. I've been using wallbase for years on my desktop but nothing compares to a high res photo on the Galaxy Note 2014. Simply amazing!
They have some nice pictures. It amazes me how many people apparently have a picture of some scantily clad lady as their background, almost half of the pictures on random mode are of that variety. I never understood why you would want that on your tablet always, for everyone to see, when you hand the tablet to your mom, your co-worker...
Anyway, what I actually wanted to ask: Wouldn't you want the wallpaper to be wider than the screen resolution? Otherwise it would have to zoom into the picture to be able to scroll the image when you switch homescreen pages. Or did you disable that?

Actually not........
2560 x 1600 is the best for viewing but if you want it for wallpaper the smallest resolution should be 2560 or as close as possible.
Interfacelift.com has photos up to 3840 x 2400, they have a dropdown box that you pick the size that you want from.

I see...my wallpaper is stationary so that resolution works for me that's how the note 2014 came out of the box.
Thanks for the link will definitely check that out. Always good to have more options!
Thanks for sharing bro, This makes the tablet even better . This is really appreciated
i don't know if this is compatible with the new Note 10.1 but Samsung Display has released an app that has some awesome eye-popping wallpapers included in it
Play Store Link: Samsung Display OLED World

Thanks for sharing.
I stocked on some 1600p wallpapers just to have them resized, but then found this app, its a "fake" live wallpaper, allows to set a pic as wallp w/o cropping or resizing it one bit and big thankz to the guy who posted 2400p wallpaper link!
edit: teh app also allows to set a different/separate pics for portrait and landscape.
