Is there a size constraint ? I'm working on making my first one ... and having some issues . Trying to sort out the issue .

The max screen resolution is 480x800.
I have seen 480x854 work on my phone, but not 490x810. Also, the 60fps doesn't work as a framerate, 24fps and 30fps do.
I'm playing around with the image size on the original GalaxyS boot animation to fill the screen, and that's what I've found.
Good luck, and be sure to post it up so we can see when you're done.
Supposedly, there is a 3MB limit per folder, not sure if this is true or not. Also, make sure the zip doesn't have compression, it should be created in store mode.

That might be the issue .. I'm using winrar to zip . What do I use to zip in store mode ?

Okay I got it zipped in store mode .. and its booting now ..but its soooo choppy . My preview in Photoshop is super smooth . My zip size is like 3.8 , could sheer size be causing it to bog down ?

I'm having trouble with the ones I created too. I rendered them in Vegas pro and they work but really slow. I encoded them at 30fps and the images are 480 x 800. I uploaded the one i made if any body wants to try.
edit: the are like 35mb so i don't size is the issue...

I have also been playing with boot animations using pictures from a 8 meg canon camera and from frame captures of 720p video. My biggest one is 55.7meg and runs perfectly at 29fps. i currently have that are built from vids running one being the 55.7 meg and another at 52.4 meg runnin 29fps. Then I have multiple other smaller ones with frame rates running as low as 12fps because they are built as slide shows. It is true that the aspect ratio for the sf is 480 x 800, but when you resize your pictures make sure to maintain the 480 as stated above. Some of my frame shots from vids ran off in size turned out to be 480 x 640 and the boot wouldnt run right till i plugged those exact dimensions into the desc file. One hint i can give is after you resize your images to the correct res. go ahead and compress them too. helps them load faster. Then zip in store mode and have fun. Takes me about 15 minutes average to build one depending on the source.

So I see all those lucky nexus 1 owners have a 720p video hack on their hands. Does anyone know if this is at all possible with a Motorola Droid? I know limitations are placed on devices and that a loophole was exploited on the nexus 1.....but has anyone looked into this on the MOTO Droid? That would be awesome if it was at all possible, but I won't hold my breath on this one. Wishful thinking though.

Don't know the cameras limitations. I'd settle for decent low-light response tho. Resolution is good enough for me.

Ditto. I'd be interested.
That Will be great but I dont think sensor is capable of 720p.codec support is there as shown by newly released motorola mile stone xt.
Why wouldnt HTC allow the nexus to record in 720p in the first place if it was possible? There must have been something wrong with allowing the 720p and there may be a negative effect attributed to it.

They noticed that market sales wouldn't be increased with it, people would already buy the N1, no matter HD or not. So I think they decided to disable the function so they could make some fancy ads emphasizing this new feature on a newer device.
Htc Don't have it at 720p because the higher the res the lower the fps (frames per seconds) and at 720p the nexus is only 20fps
i asked in the nexus thread the hack developer and he told me that its possible on droid / milestone hardware wise. but he dont have a droid for testing thats the problem.
Already been done!

I had this working on my milestone before 2.1 but I am sure the same process applies.
essentially you are chaging your build.prop to allow for 720x480 res.
Seemed to work when I tried it. But really, the standard res is good enough for me.

@sabaramo, How did you get 720p working on your milestone? Is there a guide or step by step process available anywhere?
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
He didnt. The droid supports that resolution natively. 720p is 1280x720.
720p is 1280x720...not 720x480, that is 480p. the 1st number is the pixel width, the 2nd is the pixel height of the frame. I would assume a more friendly 16x9 resolution in the 960x540 range would be a good compromise...but if the sensor can handle a full 1280x720, more power to it.....
but why not 854x480? the pixel size of the actual screen? I'm running some ripped DVDs at that aspect and they look brilliant...
see, 720p IS 1280x720....i don't lie, lol.

You have full resolution on your Droid/Milestone?
How did you go about doing it? I would love to be able to get mine like that.
I'm totally new to Android Modding and Deving. From what I've read though, I wanna Root my Droid, and get that ROM with the Sense UI that's on the first page of this forum. And now I want full resolution on it, too
I would like to get this functionality as well, will the OTA update for froyo mess the bootloader up so that rooting is not possible on a phone that is not rooted?

I tried to set my Macbook wallpaper (1280x800) on the Xoom and it turned out very badly and it didn't fill the entire screen, when it asked me to corp.
I was wondering what is the res and the ppi.
I think it's full HD : 1920*1080
I was wondering if anyone know what is the resolution of the system wallpapers...
I'm trying to find them but couldn't locate it under the launcher2.apk
Did they change this in v3?
In launcher2.apk
res\drawable-mdpi\
res\drawable-xlarge-nodpi\
The nodpi has 1920x1080 images in and include the City Default Wallpaper
That's where the wallpaper's are from what I can see.

It can't be 1920x1080 because it fits the wallpaper crop perfectly. Where as my 1080 picture has too much width.
Thanks for the path anyways, I'll mail the pictures to myself and see what is the res of it.
Wo this is driving me crazy....
The resolution of the system wallpaper in 1980x1280... now the images look good
but, the top and bottom parts are cut off... I added 100 pixels on top and bottom...
Still about 250 pxls get cut from both end.
aarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh
I found that if you get a 2560 x 1600 wide wallpapes it fits perfectly and its clear as well. You can get some 2560 x 1600 wide wallpapers at bestwallpapersite.com. Let me know if this works for you.

I don't personally own a Xoom, so I might be way off here, but aren't the images a little "taller" than the screen because when you open the app window it scrolls up a little? I'm guessing it would scroll down at some point as well. I seem to remember it doing that when I messed with my friends yesterday. Not sure if that is why, just a thought.

Your correct. This exactly why, I got the 2560 x 1600 picture, that way when the menu crops the wallpaper is still clear due to the picture being bigger than normal resolution, so when you zoom in to the picture it still clear. It work fine for me so it should for you also. When you crop the picture it fits the way you want it to as well.
I use 1920 x 1200 and it fits perfectly.

Does everything in the square (when you set a wallpaper) fills the screen?
I tried 1280x800, 1920x1200, 1920x1080, 1920x1408 and 2560x1600...
in these only 1920x1408 fits the 'wallpaper square' perfectly but still the picture in zoomed and top and bottom cut...
Can you do me a fav and post your wallpaper and the screen grab with it set as wallpaper?

Great guide...thanks for sharing.
Seems to me they would have thought of an easier way to apply custom wallpaper without needing to go through all of this.
While all of these hints will help, they are still not the actual resolution of the wallpaper. I played around in photoshop until I found the actual demintions.

That's not right, the correct resolution is 1080x960. Resolution for Android wallpapers as a rule of thumb is if you have HxW, the size for the wallpaper is 2*WxH

I second this. 1080x960 is definitely correct.
960x854 seems to work but if you scale it up to a height of 960 (correct background height) you will see that 854 scales to 1079. 1 px off.
EDIT: Photoshop is the best program to resize, but I believe MS Office Picture Manager can do it too...if you are on Windows
I use Zedge, works fine for me

Wallpaper Guidelines?
Is there a certain guideline for creating wallpapers for the bionic? I've created wallpapers in the past for different devices and they look great, but they look like crap on my bionic. I've done some searching and it seems that a lot of people are noticing that too. Guessing its just a matter of the type of display the bionic has. Some images look great on the bionic, while some look terrible. So I'm wondering if there is some sort of specifics for how you create and save the image files to ensure they look great on the bionic's screen? Is it the image's pixel per inch? Is it the color profile? Is it the image mode as in RGB or CMYK? Or the image mode as in 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit? I'm trying to find the magic combo here.
Any help would be appreciated.

I dont think any wallpaper will ever look "great" on the bionics screen, especially compared to other phones. The colors just look too far off to me.
Yeah, but still...would like to know the how and why. I can find and load some images that I find as wallpaper and they look great. Others look really bad...to the point where it is all pixelated and the color is off.
There has to be some kind of standards we can follow.
1080 x 960 is the best size, especially if you want your wallpaper to scroll with your desktop. 24 or 32 bit color depth also works well. Using smaller images and/or lower color depth can cause banding and dithering in wall paper images. I think that's part of the reason a lot of people complained about the Bionics display - Google pulled in wall paper from their previous phones back-up and those images got scaled to fit the QHD screen on the Bionic. Happed to me anyway. I had some favorite wall papers on my Droid 2 that were 960 x 854. When my Bionic pulled down my Google data it tried to scale those images and some of them looked like crap-easpecially if they had gradient areas. After re-sizing them to 1080 x 960on my PC and replacing the 960 x 854 versions they looked much better.

I've tried that and it doesn't work 99% of the time. Most of the time they still look like crap. In the past, if I've ever had a banding issue, all I had to do was add a little noise to the image to help break it up a bit. Seems like no matter what I try the images will look great on a computer screen or on other devices, but not on my Bionic. Still can't figure out why some images I find look good while others don't...

This question has nothing to do with Android.
Thread moved to off-topic.
Either save it as a PNG or when you save it as a JPG make sure you set the quality up to 12(Max).
Yeah, I save all my wallpapers as the highest quality PNG possible.
If it's just for wallpapers save it as a 24-bit PNG, rather than a JPEG. Same bit size, yeah, but no compression with a PNG. And you don't need to save it as a 32-bit png as you don't need the alpha layer (which is the 4th 8 bits) for wallpaper.

As all of of us know that if we can't play a game on computer due to lags, we change screen resolution, then lags disappear,
Could a developer make a tool, or find a way to change screen resolution from 1280x720 to let's say 1024*768 or lower ?
(There is an app in market, which is called resolution changer, but when we change screen resolution it does not stretch to full screen)
You can't push it bigger trough hardware limits, as you said 720 to 768 ,also virtually no,might be possible only to downsize both height and width. Probably the application you saw was a density changer.

The only problem with this is that these guys don't appear to know what resolution and density/dpi is and nobody tries to understand that lowering the device's resolution will result in higher performance in everything 3d based.
There is a way that i found named "Resolution Changer" but of course it has its problem. it won't go full screen once you downscale to lets say 960x540 16:9 resolution. try it i'm sure you won't like to have black borders.

changing resolution is not a permanent fix, we need good kernels, there are good kernels out there already but they r still in development, not perfect yet and it would look like minecraft with a HD screen at that resolution, I'd prefer playing with black borders to having squares on my screen.The main reason why many games lag is cause they aren't 'optimized' for tegra 3.I don't know if its possible to fix the way tegra acts with a kernel or something, but the bootloader was unlocked not too long ago, wait for more developments, I believe the developers here will make this phone a monster one day.
