Hi guys, it seems that when I use ADW EX launcher, sometimes the wallpapers that fit PERFECTLY in the original launcher become stretched out widescreen style; and I end up having black bars at the top and bottom of the homescreen.
Meaning, when I use wallpaper wizaardrii in regular launcher to set a wallpaper, it looks beautiful and well scaled. However, if I switch launchers to ADW, the same wallpaper does not fit anymore; even if I use wallpaper wizardrii to set it.
I wonder why this happens?
And most importantly, what resolutioni wallpapers do you guys usually use?
I am looking at www.interfacelift.com; and they have a plethora of resolutions, I just need to find out which one I should be downloading.
thanks
It seem that this is an issue with ADW EX (lots of folks are having the same issue). Others, including myself have got around the problem by installing an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. It allows you to set a differet background for each home screen and it's wallaper scaler works properly.... Nt a solution, but a work-around untl ADW EX is updated.

Could you please elaborate? What is the 'wallpaper hack'? And what does it do?

If you go into the ADW settings and check under general settings, it should be there. I don't understand what it really does but it makes the scrolling smoother.

Well the screen is 1280 pixels maximum
So to get a wallpaper that works in both orientations, it would need to be 1280x1280

No it wouldn't FFS! if you haven't tried it don't knock it
It's 1610 x 1280 and it works perfectly tried and tested
Multipicture wallpaper was what I've been looking for, but had no idea how to search for what I wanted in the market... THX!

What is a 'parallax-sliding wallpaper' and what exactly does it do
If im not mistaken, its a wallpaper that spans across more than just one screen. Like the wallpaper that was on the streak when you got it.
Thanks, been messing with ADW and trying to sought out a wallpaper resolution that would fit both ADW and the standard launcher, heard that a 'parallax-sliding wallpaper' of 960 x 800 resolution might work and have to agree it does
Try launcher pro. Works much better with wallpapers. I download them with zedge and everything looks as it should.

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.

What website is best for galaxy tab wallpaper? Also whenever I find a wallpaper it never never sets it properly. It always either cuts it off or makes it 10 times bigger than the screen. I know the Tab is 1280x800 but it just doesn't seem to fit it even though its the correct resolution...
I'm using multipicture live and it allows you to crop and set wallpaper s as well as let you set multiple wallpapers on all your screens. Hope this helps
I use the app Droid Iris for finding wallpapers. Same as mentioned above I also use Multipicture Live Wallpaper to set the image to fullscreen.

I download wallpapers off of interfacelift.com, which resolution should I download them for, for this device? Every wallpaper I set is blurry (aside from LWP's and stock wallpapers). Camera pics and other ones are blurry.
I've been using 1280x800 wallpapers but I still get zoomed in poorly cropped wallpapers unless I use the stock ones. You could try any HD picture and use an app like wallpaper wizardrii to scale it nicely

I tried that one but even with a single wallpaper and no transition, my tablet lags. I don't get lag with a standard wallpaper though. Maybe I'll need to re-try and play with settings

Hmmm which ROM are you using?
Set to "no transitions" here, and not experiencing any "lag", however it does take a second or two to initially set the wallpaper on boot up.

I don't know if it's just me, but every time I try wallpaper wizardii, at first, it fits nicely, and there is no problem, but after a few hours, the tablet becomes laggy. Especially the home screen transition is very laggy. Same goes for Multi live wallpaper. Although this one is laggy from the start.
I just couldn't believe the high rating of the apps. And I'm guessing it's only me who's having the problems..

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but here's the solution...
Download Wallpaper Changer by j4velin. Download whatever wallpapers off of interfacelift (I use 1680x1050, but other resolutions should work), put them onto the SD card. Add the wallpapers to the rotation. There ya go. Note that this app has a "Change wallpaper" widget. Add that to your desktop for quick wallpaper changes.
fwiw the default Res on the stock wallpaper "default_wallpaper.jpg" is 1920 x 1408
Crazy but true.
Has anyone figured out how to get wallpapers to scroll, besides stock? If not, let (me included) get on this. If there is one thing I love (as much as theming) it's wallpapers!
Haven't found one either. I miss that feature.

Get the app called Scrolling Wallpaper (crazy right?) from the market. Seems to be made specifically for the Galaxy S3 and it works great.

to bad its now working with live wallpapers
If you use a 3rd party launcher, like apex launcher [been using it on my Evo] and confirmed to scroll the wallpaper on the G S III.
If you do infact use apex launcher, just enable the scrolling option in the settings.

I tried apex with no luck. Yes, you can scroll default and live walls but not ones selected from the gallery.

You went into apex settings > home screen settings > wallpaper mode > check multiple screen [scrolling].
That should work, because my homescreen pic scrolls; doesn't work on live wallpapers though.

I'll have to look into that that. It worked on my wallpapers from my gallery, but not a live wallpaper; the lwp i had when I tried was the luminous dots.
Have you tried Wallpapyrus? That seems to always work when other ones haven't.
