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.

Wallpaper Resolution

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

Sets your wallpaper correctly with correct resolution and placement, and it's free.

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.

[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.

Ther iz a simple way.... go to system- framework- frameworkres.apk- draweble- ther iz a wallpaper called defaultwallpaper.png.... reset ur wallpaper to dat size.....
Hit thanx if i helped.....
Sent from my Micromax A60 using xda premium

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

Incorrect. He can use Picspeed to set his non scrolling wallpapers on stock launcher.

Also try Wallpaper Wizardrii
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&hl=en
It also allows you to set a wallpaper without cropping it.

I use "MultiPicture Life wallpaper"
It's a life wall paper, but with with the "single picture option" enabled it can acts as fixed background image.
It also doen's use any batt. when using the single pic option.

Wallpaper App

What the best one out there to put your paper on nicely? Looking for just a wallpaper changer

Been using 500 FirePaper for a few days now. Hands sown the best wallpaper app. So many photos categories to choose from with zero impact on battery drain.
Chainfire did it again.

I'll give it a try.

Gainos Fresh Wallpaper. It automatically retrieves new high quality high res photos either from Flickr or 500px or a match of the two based on a preset time. You never have the same wallpaper again. You can also preset tags if you're into something particular. It caches the last 10 wallpapers if you want to go back to anything you really like or missed.

Picspeedwallpaper

Wallbase HD for wallpapers, and wRotatr app from Paranoid Android team. Perfect combo

+1 for 500 firepaper. They look amazing on our screens and I'm never bored with them. Plus almost 0 impact on battery or performance.

I have been trying Advanced Wallpaper Switcher and so far its been great

+1 advanced wallpaper switcher, very beautiful gallery HD

I'm liking 500 firepaper. I've installed other live wallpapers that promise to deliver random images, but this is the first one that actually looks good on my Tab 2.

Trinity wallpaper pack or minimal wallpapers. At least, that's my preferred style

Is there anyway to see the photos on firepaper and chose what we like, other than categories.
