How can i made a large pic to fit into the screen for wallpaper?
I tried to set some pics as my wallpaper but due to the size of the pic my screen only show parts of the pic instead of making the pics fit to screen.
though having the dimension of the image set to 800x480 is not the perfect size due to portions on top and bottom part are used by the toolbars, it works great.
What is the correct wallpaper size(resolution) to be perfectly fit without the need of cropping when applying it?

since both nexus one and galaxy s have a 800x480 screen then the correct resolution should be 960x800
Hi,
Can someone please tell me when getting wallpapers for my homescreen which screen resolution i should be using?
Reason why is i downloaded some from zedge.net and before hand choose my mobile so it only showed wallpapers that are compatible with my phone.
They are 240 x 320. When i choose to set as homescreen wallpaper it shows a box on top of image althou i adjust the box to it's max the whole image is not within the box so ends up only the image that is within the white box is showing.
I am confused as i have some nice wallpapers but i can't benefit from them as the full image is not shown.
Can someone please advise what resolution i should be downloading them in or should i be doing something on the phone before hand to the image?
Thanks

Use dodol wallpaper maker or wallpaper set and save. I usually have wallpapers of 320x480, 480x640 or 640x960.
Hi,
Thanks Dodol Wallpaper Maker has saved the day
Thanks
I make my wallpapers 480x320 in .png and they always work perfectly, and I'm always able to select them fully when cropping.
I never really worked this out on my phone either, but how do you actually set a wallpaper that fits decenty and isnt over zoomed?
I have tried zedge,gallery,hd wallpapers and never really managed consistent results.
Thanks
Android wallpapers are as follows
Hold the device in portrait. The wallpaper will be:
Width: Pixels Across Screen x 2
Height: Same
So if my phone resolution was 480x800, I would need wallpapers that were 960x800 to fit properly. On the vega the resolution is 600x1024 and so you need images that are 1200x1024 to fit properly.
Hi,
I am trying to set an image as my homescreen wallpaper. However, when I choose "Set as Wallpaper," it brings me to a cropping screen where I have to select a portion of the image as the wallpaper. As a result, the portion that I select is chosen as the wallpaper, resulting in a zoomed/blurry/pixelated wallpaper.
Is there anyway I can use the whole image as a wallpaper? I tried using images of all resolutions from 1280x800 to 1920x1080. Yet, I have to crop the image in all attempts.
Thanks
Download quickpic and try using it for the wallpaper.

You can also try using Multi picture live wallpaper or custom launcher like Nova, Apex etc

Hi, STXInnovation...
Not all wallpapers (images) will crop exactly according to the screen metrics of the Nexus 7... it depends on the images dimensions; usually you have to put up with a compromise... (1280x1024 seems to be the optimal).
You can edit the image (scale it) with something like Photo Editor, but it's a lot of messing round, and there is usually some lossage (resolution) in the saved result.
As alluded to by both @redmonke255 and @ashik992, a combination of an alternative launcher (like Apex), and QuickPic will afford you more wallpaper cropping options then with the stock launcher or gallery.
---------------------------------
Personally, I've never been a big fan of scrolling wallpapers on the Nexus 7 anyway... used primarily in portrait mode, I prefer static wallpapers. On a 10" inch tablet, used in landscape mode, scrolling wallpapers looks terrific.
So, on my Nexus 7, here's I how set up my wallpaper...
In Apex Launcher settings, there is an option called 'Wallpaper Mode', for which you can set 'Single Screen (non-scrolling)'... then with QuickPic, select (and load) your chosen wallpaper, and then choose 'Set as... (QuickPic Wallpaper)' from the menu... a moveable/re-sizeable cropper box will appear of the same screen dimensions as the Nexus 7. Hit the tick button in the top right hand corner..., and your wallpaper will be set accordingly.
This is just one possible setup out of many... so it's worth tinkering until you find something you're happy with.
Finally, PicSpeed HD Wallpapers is also worth looking into; as well as offering a veritable cornucopia of excellent wallpapers for download, it also provides good cropping abilities, which can be accessed directly from QuickPic with any images you happen to have stored on your Nexus 7.

Hope this helps, and gives you some pointers.

The Nexus can take several wallpaper sizes.
Stock, the wallpaper size should be 1600x1280. That is, 1600 width, 1280 height.
If you install simple image wallpaper (free), you can use 800x1280 or 1280x800 images as well (for portrait, and landscape, respectively).
If you're using nova launcher, by default, it will accept 1920x1280 and 800x1280 sized images without cropping.
If you want to scale an image, I recommend using supersampling in paint.NET.
