What is your favourite wallpaper? I've had varying experiences with wallpapers I've used on the Hero, some look good some don't.
What wallpapers do you use both for the lock screen and the home screen? This is my current lock screen wallpaper:
And my homepage wallpaper is from Vista:
Maybe we could all post/share images of our wallpapers which we think work rather well? I've also found that a plain black background looks pretty good on the homescreen too.
I use these.
If anyone wants the full jpg pm your email.
I took these photos. Views from my window btw.
Currently using these ones (as attached).
Also attached a shot of how my home screen looks with the 1st wallpaper.
There are some great ones here :

What resolution are we actually supposed to be using for our wallpapers? Am I right in thinking its 620 x 480?
I know the screen res is only 320 x 480, but theres 7 parts to this screen, heard a roumer that they had 50px moved when sliding from one side to the other (150px on normal android)
Just found out its 640 x 480, close
You can use any size image, when you choose a wallpaper you are presented with a box which you can change the dimensions of to have it scaled correctly. The actual aspect ratio would have to be equivalent to 640*480 to avoid having to crop part of it though.

It appears from your third picture that you have fitted you Hero with a protective case. Would you mind telling which one it is? Thanks
Sorry for the off-topic

Hello guys! U may try the application from market called "wallpapers" made by Mabilo android team. U can find there a lot of categories of wallpapers and u can download and save in to your phone if u desire.
I can't wait to get my hero on the 11th....can't we use the g1 wallpapers..?
Here's my lock screen (default size 1920x1200):
I needed to choose a dark background due to the default white font from Drizzy's lock screen.

I thought I was the only one who arranged his apps in the top and bottom rows only. I no longer feel special
These are NOT taken/made by me.
All I did was find them, center, cut (change ratio for xoom) and upload.
If you want me to add a wallpaper that you found, leave a post here, and email me ([email protected]) the wallpaper in highest resolution you can find.
How to set a wallpaper on Xoom (for newbies):
Left-click on any wallpaper here. Once on the hoster website, left-click it again (don't right click - save!)
When you see the full, big version of the wallpaper, only then right click - save image.
Connect Xoom with a microUSB cable to your PC.
Go to My Computer and you'll see "Xoom" in a minute(no drivers needed)
Double click Xoom, then "Device Storage", "Pictures" (or wherever you want to save them)
Copy the wallpaper(s) there (if they are in zip, make sure to unzip them first)
On Xoom, log-tap on home screen, tap "Wallpapers", then "Gallery".
Tap the folder where you've saved the wallpaper(s) ("Pictures" for example). Tap on wallpaper.
Drag the corners of the clue rectangle to engulf the entire wallpaper.
Tap "Ok" in upper right corner.
I'll be adding more if you guys like these.
Thanks to klone96 for adding the official XOOM wallpapers.
Enjoy =)

Try out the HD Wallpapers app in the market.
Hi res and the look great on the Xoom!
Some of those seem lower Res and have branding.. I'm waiting for a true tablet wallpaper app.

HD Wallpapers from the Market does not work on my Xoom. I installed it, but when I go to open it it does not work at all. Did you actually get this to work??
This is strange.
If you try and open the HD Wallpaper app in landscape, it closes instantly but if you hold the Xoom portrait style, it works. (at least on mine).
Try it and let me know if it's the same on your end.
nice, thanks.

Yup, that is exactly the case. I think I read somewhere that the dev was notified and he is apparently working on an update.
my problem is that i can never set an wallpaper in the center of the screen. im pissed about it

It is working on my wifi xoom. Not sure if it was updated in the last few days or not. I searched "tablet" and it was in the results.

They must have changed their minds... Download link is not working.
BW works great already. The full screen home and weather widget is beautiful. Makes me confident this could be even better.
Looks like their site or twitter is having server issues. I will be trying again soon.

it doesnt work that great.. on stock it stretches across the whole screen and clock looks like #$#$#
on vegan.. you can resize and it is somewhat better but still not great.
Hmm. I guess Im not as picky. I really thought it did an excellent job and looks good. The whether animations even look great.
link working again.. think it was just heavily hit
It works great in landscape, but in portrait, resizing looks weird.
Works great for me. It always has. I saved the apk from HTC Evo and have been using it for a while now. Does what i want it to do so im satisfied

installed this, I don't really see much of a difference between this tablet optimized version and the one from market,

Hey Scott,
Did you save the actual HTC sense clock/weather widget? If so, could I get a copy of that?
Didn't work for me. If you enable weather animations it fcs when going to. Weather screen

Wow...how did you get the big weather icons. For some reason all the weather widgets show real small weather icons. How do I fix it so it shows up bigger? Thx
I use the Beautiful Home Weather widget (not the one with Smaller). It will initially stretch wider, but with LP, you press and hold the widget and a resizing outline will appear. I sized it to fit in that corner. I'm using the standard skin with Hide Background checked.

I'm new to Widgets. Are you adding the Clock, Date and Weather widgets separately?
No, if you purchase Beautiful Widgets, there is a single widget (though there are several widgets included with your purchase) called Beautiful Home Weather that contains all 3 of those things in your list of widgets. There are some free alternatives people can point you to, but I prefer BW.

I'm guessing that's not included with this free beta version. When I try to choose the Beautiful Home Weather Widget, it just goes to the settings.
Here are the android 4.0 ICS wallpapers, ripped from the sdk image. These are the full, 1440x1280 images, not the downscaled ones we got some time ago.
Use them for your desktop, tablet, or w/e.
Enjoy!
Thanks man...the others were kinda grainy.
Why isnt the wallpapers in the phones native resolution ?

The screen is 1280px high but the wallpapers got to be wider to support wallpaper scrolling.

you need the image to shift as you scroll through homescreens. Generally the "formula" is to double the screen width and keep the height. Hence 1440x720.
edit:1440x1280 sorry.

thanx for the reply nd the link buddy !!!
greatly appreciate it !! !!
can u pls tell me how to scale and resize wallpapers coz on default gallery when i try to crop the image, it happens both vertically and horizontally !! :O :O !!!
so i am unable to get the proper sized image !! :O :O !!
the rom i use : Hyperdroid 5.5.2--- MAGLDR !! !!
thanks !!!
Well I think Android's 'perfect' wallpaper size is 960x800 for our 480x800 screens, so it should fit perfectly. Remember that Android has scrolling wallpapers, so it moves when you move between homescreens. When you're fitting the wallpaper, it *should* fit perfectly if you make the box [ the one that sizes the wallpaper when you're selecting it] as big as the whole image.
I hope thats easy to understand, it's harder to explain than it is to do.

This does not work on my HD2 with a runnymeade Rom. The default wallpaper picker seems set on screwing every image up by cropping badly. Have you tried Wallpaper Wizardii from the Market. Worked wonders for me.

Best app is Flikie Wallpaper HD. Scales every wall perfectly
Just copy them into flikie/wallpapers or set it via your galery app.

I use ZEDGE from the market and there is also a big variety of wallpapers and also ringtones: http://www.zedge.net/
May be this suggestion may help you too ...
use irfan view to scale/crop center wallpapers of any size to fit your need....better...there is a batch process option which can reduce ur effort a hell lot.
Yes, Zedge is best from the android market for me.
You should try it, man!
