why cant i get images transfered to sd scaled for wallpaper?

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.

What resolution wallpapers are the best?

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!

Fullscreen Wallpaper

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.

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.

Custom Wallpaper Size.

Hi. I'm trying to use a custom wallpaper, But for some reason when I try to add it, It will only allow me select a section of it... Is it not possible to select the hole picture ?
I've attached a picture to better explain what my problem is.
Thanks for any help !!

It won't let you select the whole picture because its bigger than the default wallpaper template. I'm not sure what the template size is but if I find it I'll post it.

Most of the wallpapers I use are around 300x480. Really bugging me why it will only allow me to select a small section

I've already tried it out. The proper size of a wallpaper is 1600x1280. Try some picture this size and you will have a perfect fit.

Do what he said.

Thanks guys ! I was using smaller images because of the size of the screen, But using larger images does let me select a bigger section.
Thanks.

This has all the pixel live wallpapers in it. I think you'll need pixel launcher to make it work, I could be wrong.

It's a live wallpaper.
Look for NexusWallpapersStubPrebuilt in this thread and install it like any other apk.
