[Q] Creating own wallpaper, what is the right size?!

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.

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.

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

PicSpeed has absolutely no effect - images still badly cropped when set as wallpaper.
Has anyone sussed this obvious and stupid problem?

Picspeed worked great for me, no more weird cropping on my wallpapers.

Should be 1536x1280, if 4.2 follows the wallpaper configuration of previous versions, which is usually 2:1 the screen's resolution (to account for scrolling). Since the screen is 1280x768, should be correct. For instance, the Nexus 7 wallpapers are 1600x1280, and that device is 1280x800.
I think.

This nails it. Probably only going to be able to find 1440x1280 but that will work just fine!

Thank you so much!

N10 wallpaper size?

Can anyone please tell me the exact size of artwork that I should use for wallpaper? If I get an image that's the same as the screen resolution, selecting it as wallpaper will actually reduce the resolution so that it can work in portrait mode effectively so you never actually get to see what the screen is capable of resolving!

1080x1920 Galaxy S 4 Wallpapers

I realize this is a new phone but are there any good wallpapers for our screen resolution yet? I can't seem to find any at this resolution!!

Get Wallbase from the market and Simple Image Wallpaper Free. Simple Image is set as a live wallpaper so you'll have to check under Live Wallpapers. Use it to set the 1920x1080 wallpapers you find in Wallbase. There are more options in Simple Image.

The actual size for scrolling wallpapers is 1920 x 1920
Here's one I made in a crazy rush to get something useful on the screen and isn't a good reflection of my work

Actually, it's 2160x1920 = 1.13:1 (wide)... 1920x1920 = 1:1 (square) which is not ideal for a phone.

Edit: 1920 is to tall. Gallery will crop.

Try the below site. Pick the 2560x1920 size. Right height, just crops the sides when selecting the wallpaper.

Wait, so the gs4 stock touchwiz can have scrollable wallpapers?

No. You need another launcher for that.

The .zip file is way too large to attach here. It's nearly 100MB.

Not sure if it's what anyone is looking for, but I took this picture with my S4 the other day and am using it as my home screen wallpaper.
I love it at least.
hope someone else enjoys it!

Nexus 4 Screen Resolution

My screen resolution is reading 640 x 384 on whatismyscreenresolution.com. I've tried other websites and they also read the same. Is this normal? I thought the screen resolution was much greater than that?
I removed the soft keys in the system file. Is that why it isn't reading correctly?

The easiest way to find out is take a screenshot and see what the resolution the image is. If the resolution is 384p, you can tell the difference using just your eyes because your screen would have 80ppi.

This is what I got just now
