Where can I get some high resolution gtab wallpapers? What resolution do I need?
It seems like you'll want 1024x1024 since the device can be rotated. I just did a Google Image search with 1024x1024 as the parameters and found all kinds of stuff. I just got my tablet yesterday but it seems like it's working well.
You should try my new "Bouncing Clock" Live Wallpaper that I just stuck on the market today!! I'm loving it on my G-Tab and Nexus One right now.

Best advice right here.
If you find they look blurry on your GTab, search the market for an app called "Wallaby".
Also Solar Wind and 3D Starfield are downright purdy live wallpapers that run smooth as silk on the Gtab.

Good advice on Wallaby! I just grabbed it tried a couple of wallpapers and it definitely helps.
Ok, I am beyond frustrated. I am rooted w/Vegan and had zero issues doing that...but getting a wallpaper to actually look like it is suppossed to on my g tab...well that is a completly diffeerent story. I have tried the 1024 x 1024 as well as the 1024 x 600 options. But everytime I find an image I like from google, open it, hold down to bring up the dialogue box to "set as wallpaper" it takes the image and blows it up! It never looks like the image I found from google. I have also saved them to the gallery thinking that the cropping would help. Well, no dice! What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? I am bored by the plain color backgrounds that came with the Vegan rom...can anyone help? Thanks!

^^^^ Multipicture Live Wallpaper (app) allows you to set wallpapers properly. Thanks to Shadowhawk2020 for bringing this app to my attention. Even Wallaby did not work properly, so MLW is the only way I know of to set wallpapers properly on the gtab.
EDIT: OP - try seaching the market for HD wallpapers and Filke HD wallpapers.
EDIT2: Check this post out for what sounds like another app to help get wallpapers scaled properly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13117070&postcount=361

When you go into your wallpapers in flick ur pics, tap on the image you want on screen 1 first and a little #1 will show up on the thumbnail image. Same for screens 2 and 3. Screens 4 and 5 if you have them. I you assign more images than screens you have available it will rotate through them in order when you swipe from screen to screen.
EDIT: It seems that I told you wrong above. I assumed that was the way it worked. I had only 2 images assigned in mine and image 1 would show on my center screen, while image 2 would display on all other panels. When I just tried what I told you above, it randomized the images displayed for the individual screen backgrounds. What I mentioned above may be a good feature request to ask of the dev.
EDIT #2: I have sent developer an email regarding this and have pointed him to this thread. Hopefully he will respond soon, either via email or by dropping in on us here. It would be nice to have him here with us to find our specific needs for our tablets.

Hi All,
I'm Francesco, one of the Flick ur Pics developers
I'm glad to join you in this great forum.
Flick ur Pics allows to choose up to 9 images from your gallery and it shows a random picture when you change homescreen (or when elapse the refresh time, if selected).
Actually you can't set exactly an image for each home screens (i.e.: image1 in the homescreen #1, image2 in the homescreen#2), but we already investigated this feature and if there's a strong request, we'll be more than happy to add it as soon as possible.
Best,
Francesco

Why only 9? I have a collection of hundreds of images that I would like to use, and would hate to be stuck to only 9. Especially since I can't get multipicture live wallpaper to install, so your app seems to be the only option I have.

Hi Francesco,
Im very interested in the one wallpaper per page. I have brought this up in another thread as well. Someone had told me to try flick ur pic but I too found it wasnt setup this way. I think there are a lot of people who are looking for this feature. It works best when you have pages set for certain things. Like a movie page, a games page, a news page, and etc. That would be AWESOME!

Francesco, so glad you could join us. I am sure you will find lots of people here in the gTab forum with several ideas to make Flick ur pics the best wallpaper app for this tablet. I am yet another that would love the ability to set images per screen. Of course you already knew that from my email.
Once again, really glad that you decided to join us. We are glad to have an active flick ur pic dev willing to take the time to get involved with the gTab community.

This is what I’m doing for a landscape orientation with a wallpaper that correctly "scrolls" from left to right and is not distorted or zoomed in on (NON HONEYCOMB ROMs ONLY!!!):
Fist download and install the app "Wallpaper Slideshow" from the market (free). You’ll use that to set the wallpaper (or wallpapers, as it will automatically switch between multiple at intervals you desire. If you want it to show just a single wallpaper, just put that single picture in the folder you tell it to read wallpapers from.
Your wallpaper’s resolution should be: 2048 x 600. To be clear that's a width of 2048 and a height of 600. You may have to crop, pad and/or otherwise resize your image.
Using Wallpaper Slideshow lets you use landscape images in their native resolution (aka not cropped) that are scrollable. Wallpapers in portrait orientation are zoomed in on the center of the image and are scrollable as well.
Setting the same 2048 x 600 wallpaper via the Android (2.3.7) interface does the opposite: portrait looks clear and is scrollable, but landscape must be cropped and is displayed zoomed in, usually off center and extra pixilated. Since I primarily use my tablet in Landscape mode I think I’d rather have the landscape wallpaper looking sharp and clear.
Other apps allow you to set non cropped/zoomed images of the Gtab’s native resolution of 1024 x 600 but usually don’t have any options allowing them to be easily “scrollable”. Wallpapers that don’t have any transaction effects look stale and desktop-y, IMO.
I’m using Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC, but everything should work the same on other non-honey-comb ROMs.
You can use images with a width resolution that's smaller than 2048 and the app will still set them up as scrollable. However, it will zoom in on them the further and further you get from 2048, making them look more and more pixelated.
One more thing, if you have USB storage turned on and you images are on your SD card (internal/external) your wallpaper may not rotate or scroll correctly. Once you turn it off they’ll be fine.
Pics show the same image file as the wallpaper.

Hello everyone! New to the forums here and JUST rooted my Aria over the weekend. In my personal way of giving back I'd like to make available this sweet Omnislash live wallpaper I put together. In order to use the wallpaper, you need the app LWP Creator from the app store. If you can't find it in the app store for what ever reason you can alternatively navigate to this webpage:
http://www.simproduction.com/lwpcreator.html
on your phones browser. Then click the link ownload me (Android only link)
This will take you to the application in the market. Download and Install.
Next you'll need to download my Omnislash folder which simply contains the live wallpaper frame by frame in .png format. You can download that here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/orzyp29tk2w2rd9/omnislash.zip
After you download the folder, unzip it and move it to your phone's SD Card.
I recommend putting it in the Download folder on the SD Card to make it easy to find but you can put it anywhere you like.
Once it's on your SD Card disconnect your phone from your computer and let the SD Card remount on the phone. Then, on the main screen on your phone, tap and hold on any blank area. As if you were adding a widget or application, and scroll down to wallpapers on that menu.
Then scroll down to live wallpapers at the bottom of the next menu. If you don't see the live wallpapers option the livewallpapers.apk is not installed on your phone. If you need help installing that just post, I or someone here will help you.
In the live wallpapers you should see an option called LWP Creator. If you do not see this option you do not have the LWP Creator app installed (See above). If you do have the app installed, tap the LWP Creator. There should be some yellow text on the screen talkin some nonsense about folder paths. Ignore that.
Tap settings on the bottom right. In this menu make sure "Sd card?" is checked which it should be by default. Then tap folder path just below it. Navigate to where you put the Omnislash folder on your SD Card. After you find the folder, tap it.
You should now see several files named 01.png 02.png 03.png etc... Select the third option on the bottom of the screen called select all. There should now be a red X next to all of the png files. Now tap Submit, the left option.
It will now take you back to the main settings screen. Here you can edit the framerate of the wallpaper and the Placement and Sizing. I just set the frame rate to 60 fps and that looks nice. It still looks nice on lower frame rates and lower framerates are more battery efficient.
Then on the Placement and Sizing option, select Middle (No resizing). After setting the options tap the back button on the phone and you should see the animation playing! If so tap the set wallpaper button on the bottom left and watch as Cloud Strife rapes face behind all your awesome apps. If you didn't see the animation you did something wrong and need to read all this again -.-
I hope who ever uses this enjoys it, I know I do. And thanks again for all the people that helped me make my Aria as awesome as it should be,
Enjoy!!!
Here is a link to the video I used to make the wallpaper. The wallpaper plays from 1:02 to the end of the video. It does not include the little screen that the person put in that video if you happen to see that when you click at 1:02...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7ec6lcDnhQ
Since no one has commented id like to be the first to say that its amazing great job i just wish there was a way the images could fit the whole screen

First off, thanks for the reply! I was beginning to think there were no FF7 fans on here... heresy I know... Secondly, it does in fact hit the whole screen! Return to the LWP Creator via the method explained above. When you enter the settings screen, look for a scaling option. I made the wallpaper to fit perfectly in landscape mode, I'm guessing it's not fitting because you use your phone in portrait mode, I still have all of the original files, I guess I can also upload a portrait version, will post a link soon. Thanks again for enjoying it!
Ugh, nevermind... Sorry, but resizing the video for portrait mode makes it stretch in an ugly way. It's basically the same as the normal wallpaper viewed in portrait mode, only stretched vertically a bit more, still has black bars on the top and bottom... Unless you REALLY want it I'm going to hold off on making it...
If you're using CM6, R01, you could do what I do and use the phone in constant landscape mode. The ADW allows for the actions on upswipe and down swipe motions on the screen. I have my phone set to only 1 home screen, so no scrolling.
Then, I have the 5 ADW action buttons over on the right, they also have no background and look very nice. (click link for pic!)
http://www.mediafire.com/i/?0e42r757wh26xsu
Then when I slide down, those 5 disappear and 5 new ones appear with the faded black on the right. (click link for pic!)
http://www.mediafire.com/i/?9p09c9d6con9297
Then sliding up on the home screen brings up my app drawer. (click link for pic!)
http://www.mediafire.com/i/?khy9fg14x56gldg
Also, I have the Power management widget with a transparent background off to the left. This setup makes it very easy to get to any of my apps without the need of multiple home screens, plus, the omnislash LWP looks amazing. I'm also running dumfuq's OC kernel at 806Mhz. This runs the wallpaper incredibly well, (plus it allows for 100% super nintendo emulation with sound! (doesn't help with PSX very much though -.-)) Check out these pics!
I really hope people, especially FF fans, check this out. From one fan to another, this came out REALLY well, and it's by far the best final fantasy wallpaper out there, and believe me, I checked...
Also, if you're feeling particularly lazy... feel free to post a youtube URL along with the start and stop times of a live wallpaper you'd like and I'd be happy to get it for you. They will be formatted to work with the LWP Creator app with the instructions provided in the first post. Try to pick short clips, for example, the omnislash wallpaper is about a minute long, the LWP Creator allows for 300 total frames, this allowed the video to be about 9.5 frames per second. The shorter the video, the more FPS, more FPS, the better it looks.
I look forward to your requests!
Yea i use my phone in portrait mode but no prob man i love the wallpaper.

hey, this is very cool. great job! love seeing creativity!
From reading on here and millions of threads on google, it seems there are lots of people, like me, who don't want wallpaper to be scrollable and want the image they select for wallpaper to be FULLY displayed on their phones....but that irritating crop-box will not allow it.
Soooo, bit of googling and I found this lil BEAUTY called cropwallpaper.
It's freeware on the market.
I've tried it out all day, trust me...lol...and it's AWESOME!!!!
Now got a picture of Megan Fox on my screen WITHOUT her head cut off etc etc.
1st pic is without using the app, 2nd is (displayed EXACTLY as it was downloaded) using the attatched App called, amazingly (lol) "crop wallpaper"

2: select 'overall'
3: select 'set wallpaper'

Great find...thanks, now I can expand my ever growing wallpaper collection to include a bunch of iPhone wallpapers as well without them croping like crap
was waiting for it ! thank u
I was looking for some kind of app like this thanks alot!

thx bro....good job n great applcation
As most developers want to keep track of the number of downloads, maybe it's a better idea to put a link in the 1st post instead of an .apk: http://www.appbrain.com/app/crop-wallpaper/jp.juggler.CropWallpaper

great find,thanks for sharing
you can also do this without an app. use the .psd template attached and drag your picture into the grey shaded area with your picture. it fits a 480x800 pic perfectly. the sides will be left blank as the psd is 960x800 and your picture will be centered and uncropped. just save it as a .jpg and your done. this works with scroll turned off....of course.
All,
Where should I put my images that I would like to use for wallpapers? Even with the stock images, I noticed that depending on what menu I used to set the wallpaper, some were resized strangely.

Thanks!
where you put them shouldn't impact the image size. you can put wallpaper images anywhere really. i put them in /media/wallpaper on my sdcard.
I tried saving images from websites using the built in browser and then set them as wallpaper, but that didn't work.
I downloaded Opera Mini from the market and then I could properly save images and set them as wallpaper.
Maybe there is a setting for the native browser that allows for proper saving, but I could not find it. Anyway, Opera is a pretty decent bowser so I'm perfectly happy using it.

Thanks for the tip. But, I'm trying to use my own pictures - not web images.
1200x1024 is the proper size for two screens. 1800x1024 for 3. you could try resizing before setting as wallpaper to see if that works for ya. make sure you expand the box to take up the entire image when selecting it or it will mess up the sizing.

Thanks. Happen to know the right size for 1 screen? is it 600 x 1024? (seems to be if my math is correct)
But, what I'm more curious about is where to put the files. Seems there is a /media/wallpaper on my sd and my internal. Which should I use? I want it to show up in my "wallpaper".
Also, happen to know if it is safe to delete the stock pictures / wallpapers. Some of them are downright ugly.
Thanks!
don't know about deleting the stock images. you could try... i doubt it'd hurt anything, but just to be safe, make sure you nandroid first.
ya... i've never done a single screen, but that is the right math... 600 per screen.
either place will work. i've loaded them in both locations and they work in either.

I had the same problem, solution is to download coveroid. Any wallpaper you want will just go into the coveroid download folder, and then set the wallpaper from inside coveroid. For some reason the non-default launchers cause issues with setting wallpapers, but coveroid seems to fix this.
1200x1024 is the correct size for 5 pages. When you slide from one page to another the background doesn't move by full 600 pixels. It only moves by 150 pixels.
The built-in gallery function scales the pictures in an ugly way when cropping for use as wallpaper. It's a conflict between 3 screens of the B&N Nook and 5 screens of the typical Android launcher.
I followed the sticky with tips and downloaded the Wallpaper Set & Save app. It lets you navigate for pictures through directories and sets them as wallpaper while preserving the resolution if correct to begin with. I'm very pleased with it. My wallpaper now looks correct.
Thanks for the help!
I hope to have some cool wallpapers soon. It helps to have a Pro photographer in the family.
Hi,
I recently got a g-tablet and flashed the vegan 5.1 rom on it. I have tried making wallpaper using the suggested size of 1024x600. This makes my wallpaper blurry and it crops a large majority of it out. I've experimented with lower sizes and I still can't get a proper size that fits horizontal view perfectly. Also this vegan rom I have doesn't rotate the home screen when rotating the device. When trying a lower size wallpaper say for example 800x600, it zooms into one section of the wallpaper and still crops most of it.
Any ideas please? I'm trying to make some comic themed wallpaper, Marvel/DC, etc.
Thanks
Use multipicture live wallpaper is free from market. Have nice settings and solve crop and blury. Sorry my bad english

That's the size I use and it works well. Just make sure when you're cropping that your subject is in the upper portion of the graphic so that you can see it in portrait mode.
this will blow your mind on how crystal clear the wallpapers can be when we use native 1024x600 resolution. this is not some blown up 480x800 blurry wallpapers we always see to acheve wallpaper scrolling wich I always have off cus it lags my scrolling
1. download multipicture live wallpaper
2. download a highdef wallpaper here wowallpapers.com/show_wallpaper/world/england_wallpaper_01_1024x600.jpg
3. go to live wallpapers and select multipicture live wallpaper
4. go to common settings - picture source - single picture and select the high def pic
5. then select crop resize ratio and select Show Entire Picture
6. go back and under drawer settings select transition type and select None.
7.go back and under picture folder selection uncheck double tap to change picture
8.then go to picture change interval select Never
enjoy the most unreal wallpaper on your nook. if u have adw select landscape oreintation only . because potrait kills the wallpaper
Or just check the long-standing steps posted in the OP of a stickied thread in this very forum There is a quick & dirty solution there, but also my steps to get a pixel-perfect wallpaper.

PS: 1024x600 is too small. You need a bigger image than that if you want to have it move in the background a keep an un-stretched image. We use the same size as the Galaxy, which is 1200x1024. That seems to give me the best results.
that method involves cropping the picture. my method SHOWS THE WHOLE 1024x600 picture (no croping)and its a tottaly diffrent way of the one that's posted on there. and I also mentioned I dont like having the wallpaper scroll at a cost of performance. if u wanna do it your way by all means I'm just sharing my way of doing things. cheers

Well you only need to crop the image if it's not the right size already, which is true of any method of setting a wallpaper, including yours. Not to mention that your method breaks in 50% of supported orientations Hardly "tottaly diffrent..."
And I have no idea what performance hit you are seeing from having a scrolling wallpaper. I've had no issues at all on Android 2.1 or 2.3, both at stock or with an OC'ed kernal. I mean, you're of course welcome to use whatever settings you want, I just dont know what performance hit you're talking about.
Either way, this just seems like a bunch of extra steps to accomplish the same thing that has been posted previously, just with less functionality. I dont mean to sound malicious; I just dont understand what advantage you're offering people.

wow I have to spoon feed u an understanding of what i acheved. read and read again. u get a 1024x600 native wallpaper on your nook on landscape. no chopping or visible blockyness. if u want a wallpaper that scrolls your method is prob good I never tryed it. but since I DO NOT have my wallpaper scroll I like to have the WHOLE picture visible and none of it hiding on the sides

You are a genius cowballz69!!! Not only did this solve my problem and keep me from having to crop, resize, etc, etc, it also allowed me to have random wallpapers, different size wallpapers, etc. And they all scale excellently and look wonderful on my Nook Color! I was even able to mess around with the program settings and get an accpetable workaround for the wallpapers in portrait mode. (I have the mirror effect above and below the image, looks nice.) Thanks again!
Is this 1-1 pixel mapping when done either way?
I haven't even tried putting a wallpaper on other than the defaults yet, too busy exploring other NC features.
I tried every single method out there, this was the only one that really came out nice and crisp. Thanks man.
After reading up, i also tried ES File Explorer's Wallpaper function and got very good results, not as good as your method, but i would prefer to not run a live wallpaper if possible and got good results. I hope a surefire solution to this wallpaper situation shows up for the nook one day. I force the nook to landscape btw.

As the name indicates, it's Live Wallpaper.

Wall Switch from the market is great and gives you high res wallpapers, i switched to it and am very happy with it.

I just tried Wall Switch with 1024x600 wallpapers and it still insists on cropping and otherwise adjusting the pics.
edit:
On the subject of the thread, I'm kind of surprised that this hasn't been fixed yet. Usually you guys jump on wallpapers and themes right after root.
I don't understand why the settings aren't built in that will allow us to just go choose a 1024x600 image, apply it in the correct orientation, and not let it move no matter how the screen is tilted. I don't want my wallpaper to scroll or change at all. That seems like it should be easy to do.

Finally an easy solution for CM7. Thanks for that!
Start QuickPic. Press and hold 1200x1024 picture. Choose Set as. Choose QuickPic Wallpaper. Menu > Save. Full resolution wallpaper!
