Wallpapers and wallpaper size?! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What damn resolution do i have to get for this thing not to crop out my image and make it look like poo! lol i hate the way android does its wallpapers

tried the same this morning (just got the phone ) and found that to have a pixel perfect wallapaper the size must be 1436x1196, then apply it using QuickPic from the Play Store (free): it will prompt a cropping window, but you can just press the save button and it will apply it full size :good:

look at the resolution of stock wallpapers! in case you need to extract them to figure the resolution out you should be able to do it using "wallpaper set and save" from the Play Store

Its time for some Walls

Though a business phone,why won't have some wallpapers for X1? The resolution has to be 800*480. So guys get us some sites to get them. I tried Zedge,but they made some 320*480 walls,which is useless for X1.
Thanks in advance.
deviantart.com , interfacelift.com. just crop & resize
or any decent size pic taken with the internal camera and inserted using pics & video.
I've got a very classy looking wooden backdrop to mine, which was an picture my daughter took of the floorboards when I was teaching her to use the camera..
Looks great with TF3d over it, well I like it!
I quite like the "xperialights" one from SE as well.
(screengrab taken using Mymobiler through wine on an Ubuntu box, who says you can't get wm to talk to linux )
I guess the wallpaper should really be minimum 800x800 px so it looks alright in landscape mode too.
There are some really cool images at http://www.interfacelift.com. You will have to crop them yourself though.
Can u suggest some sw for cropping?
paint.net, gimp ...
anybody else have this problem?
when i put a picture as wallpaper, while using, say, the xperia black theme (or any other theme for that matter), the image looks as if a grey coat is applied. Anybody know how to fix this?

I use PhotoFiltre Studio, its a free program and works great
Hey! How did you get the background to change in TouchFlo? Please... *edit* sorry meant for every page, not just the Home screen (which you can do in settings)

set the wallpaper via Pictures & Videos instead. Here you get to select the portrait crop and the transparency level.
X1 Walls vol1
Hi guys
I took the liberty to give back for all the help I've got on this forum.
Maybe the best thing I'm good at, playing with photos.
So I picked out some photos I had and cropped them for you guys.
These are 15 wallpapers in 800x800 as it was requested.

Wallpaper problem solved!!!!!!

Hey guys was looking around because I know we all have had problems with wallpaper sizes........I think I found the solution ( not sure if it has been mentioned ....just thought I might help) just try using a programme called multipicture live wallpaper that can be downloaded free from the market........ it automatically resizes any pic to fit and also has options to change wallpapers by double tapping and also have different pics on different screens.......hope I would have helped someone out there........enjoy

No not really, i've posted on here about 10 times that 1610x1280 fits perfectly, people disagree and quote blah, then 2 days later they're back here again winging that their wallpaper doesn't fit.
hahahhaha oops, sorry man , obviously i havent seen it before, didnt mean to steal ur thunder ;P just trying to help
quick question, did you try the program? its pretty cool though
It seems to use Live Wallpaper. Can you make it work with just regular wallpaper?
I created a thread about this over at tabletroms and I also created a png grid overlay that allows you to center images on the screen. Also I have filmed video tutorials over there on how to use these files to create nd center your own wallpapers on honeycomb. enjoy
well becaus i am not a frequent poster, i cant post the link. can be found at tablet roms dot com and do search for wallpaper, thread is titled that. may also healp to search for albertwertz
I've tried this app...it works pretty good but as the other poster said....as long as the resolution is correct...then it's just nice to have and not a necessity.
Yeah ofcourse resolution would count......but yeah its not too bad

any 1600x1200 wallpaper or higher will work just fine.
the actual size is 1980x1408
Personally I have no issue with the image scrolling left & right. It does annoy me though that honeycomb zooms the image and moves it up and down when you go into the apps menu or widget menu...
I posted this solution in the original themes and apps thread; it actually looks MUCH better from a clarity standpoint than cropped oversized wallpapers. Of course, if you're centering and resizing you will have identical quality BUT you will not have a giant black bar across the bottom of your screen when you switch to portrait. If you love switching wallpapers and you use high quality SLRs and such this is the only way to go.

Share your Wallpapers

It's been hard finding good wallpapers that actually fit this phone correctly without making it look bad. So anyone want to share some wallpapers that actually look good on our phone?

A good app that I use is Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market, and I believe it's free. Pick any of your wallpapers you have saved and it'll automatically set it to fit your screen size, and you can make it either scrollable or nonscrollable. Works perfect for me. In fact, my current wallpaper is sized for my computer, and this app sized it perfectly for my phone.

try this apps :
https://market.android.com/details?id=wallpapers.santabanta.com&feature=search_result
Sorry that version doesn't have the date cropped, but should be easy to fix as you're setting it as wallpaper. Yes, it's an out of focus pic of the screen of a dvd player displaying r00t, but imo that's freakin awesome.
Forget where I found this 1 but sadbot is cool too.

I tried the app,but some wallpapers still look messed up. I'll upload a picture later.
I've been using this one for a while now:
Use the app called 'Zedge', It is the best app for wallpapers, ringtones and notifications. Check it out on the market

Hot summer
feeling hot this summer chk this out ,for all walls download from the link below
http://www.multiupload.com/X0I8K2TK1W
Here's a quick collection I did and I assure you they will look great!!
* most of these images aren't mine, I just found them on the net then resized for our screens, sharpened, corrected colors, blabla... I take no credit for them.
You can download the pack from here: http://www.multiupload.com/TK3N8RQEVJ.
As a side note, some of these backgrounds actually have interesting... backgrounds.
For example, "deep field" is an image made by Hubble, showing the furthest reaches of the Universe (light emitted ~ 13.5 billion years ago), "cherenkov" is an actual picture of a nuclear reactor (nuclear radiation isn't green, like in the movies, but that very cool blue) and "vitruvian", if you didn't know already is inspired by DaVinci's Vitruvian Man.
I'm currently switching between staredad and vitruvian, I love them both so much!
Two of my favourite background. Very nice with Laucher Pro and default icon
Anyone have the stock HTC Sensation 4G Wallpaper? (not the unlocked HTC Sensation color wallpaper)

Now, a little backstory: the pictures depicting the International Space Station are real (and pretty awesome), mars.png is an actual photo of a sunset on the planet Mars and atmosphere is an image made by the crew of the ISS (you can see the troposphere, stratosphere - more info here: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap100623.html).
Hope you like 'em!

I tried it, but I dont like it. The one long continuous home screen is cool, but I dont like the dullness that is the app drawer. All I want is the stock launcher with the ability to go to 1 home screen and change the grid size. Anyone know of such a thing for honeycomb?
i do not get the need to change to launcher ui.when I have my tablet in my hand im looking at a app I use. Don't care much for all the not needed flash .keep it simple save the CPU cycles and memory for the apps and browser.
With that said the pics look nice. Just dont see tthe point
Good responses I didn't like it cuz I have SPB shell and this launcher still needs alot of work to it in my eyes. That being said FOR THOSE THAT WANT CHANGE and don't wanna spend 15 on a 3D launcher this might be of interest which is why I decided to post

Who needs an App Drawer when you can have these Folder Cubes.
This video is after an hour or so of goofing with it.
No way was this a quick process. But it was easy to do.
Yes I did move every app from my App Drawer to the Folder
Cube on the desktop.
And no. You haven't lost or began to need reading glasses.
Just try imagine that I took the time to clear up the video a little bit.
There's not a lot that I can do to lessen the pointlessness. So. Much like the video. I didn't
even try to correct that one. Sorry E.R.
Not too bland eh?
It is easy to see that the larger icons take a few seconds to load. I will send a link to this video to the dev and see if there is a way to put large, and even customized icons (for the ones that it doesn't find.) into the cache somewhere. Maybe it will be an easy fix. Other than that I have to say that it is pretty nice on the Iconia. I don't regret buying it one bit. Now to find the Nook Color...

Look for a app called Folder Organizer.. I have it and set it up once it allows you create groups with menus on your home screen .. not exactly what your looking for but you might like it.. also DENSITY CHANGER APP.. im not sure the exact name .. changes the screen density . This changes the icon size not sure if it will allow you to drop more on there or not..

Sorry for getting off topic good luck

No problem. This app works just as well on the Nook Color as it does on the Acer. (?!?Maybe even better?!?) Thanks again for sharing the find. I'll use this for a solid couple of days and report back on the stability. As well as any news. So far so good though.

Wallpapers for note 4

Hi guys I searched for images that are my phones advertised dimensions but when I want to set them as a wallpaper I have to crop the image which is not what I want to do. I have to crop a large section of it out for it to fit.
Does anyone know what resolution I should be looking for to fit my screen. One which best uses the highest resolution but also makes use of the screen size.
I am looking for a Mitsubishi evo wallpaper.

After that when you want to set your wallpaper, just turn on nova ( dont set it defaut app if dont want ) and set. Nova launcher can keep origin wallpaper resolution

That's a misnomer - digital images don't have a resolution, only a number of pixels. I assume that's what you're looking for.
Just take one of the installed wallpapers and see what its dimensions are.
Try zedge...
