960x800 HQ Texture Wallpapers

Well, since we're our android devices have icons all over them, I like the plain texture wallpapers the best. You can't see much of an image under the interface elements anyway, so the repeating pattern works kinda well.
Anyway, try them out, let me know if you like em, I'll make more.
All images are 960x800 (fit for my Nexus One screen). You can also download the whole set HERE.
How to set wallpapers in high quality (guide for noobs ):
1. Click on the one you like
2. When imageshack loads, click on the image again. Then copy the full image to your device, however you wanna do it.
3. On your android friend, go to market, download "Wallpaper Set and Save". Why? When you set wallpaper through that app, it'll show up with much better color depth than when setting it through android's gallery app.
4. Post how your screen looks like =)
I didn't make these, I stole them from ze interwebs, so copyright goes to whoever made them, bla bla bla.

Cool man thx.

very nice. thank-you very much.

Wow, thank you for these. I've been looking for something like these...

i agree, these do work quite well.

here i have some more

nice.
i would post my wallpaper set... 404 of them, lol.. Most of them are designs, however, and i agree that plain looks better. Actually deleting them off my sdcard and giving the regular ones a try.

Thank you for these. They look fantastic on my Samsung Epic.

Greetings -
Calling from Johannesburg, South Africa ..
I have just signed on to this forum .. because what I would dearly like to know is a website or two which carry a large number of plain textured wallpapers .. Various colours of course .. but my MAIN request is for the wallpaper to be entirely plain ..
and having a texture of parallel lines, OR horizontal lines OR intersecting lines (like a
mesh or net) OR possibly a kind of corrugated effect .. My knowledge of graphics is
virtually nil .. but I would be EXTREMELY grateful if I could find a site with a large number of these textures ..
With MANY thanks in advance ..

the only one I can think of is doing an image search in Google for "texture".
You should find many textures and websites like that.

Many Thanks

[ICON PACK] Windows Phone Tiles. Now In (lots) Of Different colours!

I just saw a demo of windows phone 7, and i must say, the user interface is awesome.
I put together some tiles to use on your android phone with programs like desktop visualiser and other theming apps.
Most of the icons are from Albook Extended (http://stopdreaming.deviantart.com/#/d1zoewh)and were made by ~StopDreaming on deviantART, be sure to look at his work because its amazing. I just hacked around with them, removed the backgrounds and put them on colored tiles, So make sure you credit ~StopDreaming for the wonderful icons
Edit:
I couldn't help myself, went ahead and made 70+ high-res tiles, all in three different colours.
this took an insane amount of time, so I hope someone makes a nice theme or something
Edit Edit:
Ok, So people were looking for more tiles, so I cooked up about 80 more. These are all also available in crimson, as well as pink, blue and green.
wow. what a long night. Huge .zip file is below.
Edit Edit Edit:
Dock Icons!
I Made some icons specifically for your docks, in the style of windows phone.
They are really cool, I suggest you check them out.
Zipped and attached below
Version 2.0
Edit Edit Edit Edit:
UPDATED!
Ok, Added a few more colors such as Teal, Orange, Red, Purple, White, Black and Brown.
New link on 4shared, I find it more reliable than megaupload.

not sure if i'll end up using them but awesome job! maybe when i get tired of mine these will be my next

Nice! I just finished theming my phone, so I'll wait a while before I try, but still, very nice looking! Wish launcher pro did scenes, so I could play with a new theme, without screwing up my old one

Ok, cool. And I agree, Launcherpro would be awesome with scenes

Wouldn't it be so very cool if there was a way to convert icons into 'Hubs' ala Windows Phone 7?
Then we could create a real WP7 simulation using these great tiles.
- I may take it upon myself to create this app.

very nice, look forward to using these in a new theme
thanks for sharing!

Those icons are pretty good

Keeping it rather simple as the kids return to school and hoping to get some free time to set up a new pc for adb and such. Thanks again for sharing, I made a couple of yellow ones to go with it.

downloaded, copied to phone but they wont show other icons show fine.
Edit, sorted, i copied the max osx versions over.

really nice icons .
making a new theme here hehe ^^ based on windows phone 7 .

Just made a lockscreen out of this, still working out how to make the rest of the theme.
Modded widget locker
Unlock slides across

nice work!

Ok, made an angry birds icon, not sure which one is better. Here they are if anyone wants them.

Justice League of America Icons

So, I have had an awful lot of free time on my hands after getting laid off last week. Thought I would play around with GIMP a little more and custom make some icons. I made these for Folder Organizer icons, but they are 72 x 72 px and can be used for whatever devices support that size icon (I believe HDPI devices only, please correct me if I am wrong). I attached a little pic with all of them together.
Screenshot 1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA1.png
Screenshot 2: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA2.png
The first one is them just lain out so you can get an idea of the size. The second one is used in the medium sized icon format of Launch-X Pro widget. I could not upload them to the site without resizing, and I didn't feel like it. It wouldn't look the same anyway. You should be able to right click --> Open in new tab so you don't have to download them. Hope you all enjoy!

These are really great! Thanks I'll be using them

Cool! I'm glad someone else appreciates them like I do. LoL

Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure.

Nice work, but is there any chance to get the wallpaper too?

Sorry, you can insert the only original wallpaper of Batman please?
Is beautiful ^_^

Ty very much! like them alot! +1 on wallpaper

nice. Great job, keep it up.

How do I install these, they are AWSOME!

Very Nice . Any chance u can make a Marvel's Avengers set of icons ? Would love too get a hold of that Batman wallpaper too .

I would donate for a set of spiderman icons....both black and red
These are awesome...sorry to hear about he job, slow for me right now too.

Using the scrolling wallpaper
Using the circle scrolling wallpaper, the Batman image and his icons, I came up with this. Nothing fancy, but still pretty cool (to me at least).
*edit*
Here's a better version of the wallpaper with his shoulders not cropped.

original wallpaper is here

Thanks everyone! Feeling the love Here is the wallpaper: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/default_wallpaper.jpg This one is sized 960 x 854, or perfectly for the Droid 1 and is a bit more on center that the one previous posted. As far as how to install the icons, you can use them easily with Folder Organizer (just open the app, pick a folder, tap on the down arrow on the right side and choose Icon), LauncherPro (long press on dock icons and choose custom icon), or you can use Ninjamorph to substitute them for any app icons of your liking. This is assuming they are already on your SD card and unzipped. As far as making more of them...I would LOVE to! I just need a couple of more days as I am doing a ridiculously detailed theme for my phone that I might release at some date. It's not comic themed as I was looking for something a little more for the masses, but it'll be nice. It's weird because I posted these like a couple of weeks ago on 3 different forums and I think I got maybe 4 responses between them so kind of just figured no one cared. Please start listing a few characters you would like to see and I will try to do the most popular ones. I only ask that it be a figure with a somewhat recognizable symbol so it won't take a year to find something that will work. It took me quite awhile to get the Martian Manhunter icon because of that. Anyway, thanks again for the interest and now I know some more people are interested, I will keep a closer eye on this thread.

Hi - Great job! These Icons with the Scrolling Wallpaper "Dock" and the Batman image combined are the best setup I've had since getting my Captivate.
I have one very minor request, though - Anyway to fill in that hole in the Batman icon and repost it? I don't know if it's just me or my set up, but in the middle of the shine, there is a black hole that looks kind of like a bullet hole. You can see it in my screen capture above.
Again, though, it may just be me...

LoL Wow...I never even noticed. It doesn't show up in the pic I put in the original post until you click on it and enlarge it. I'll look into it a little later on today, so stay tuned. I found a little quicker way to do these so I might be putting more out soon. I already have a couple of Venom ones done...
Actually the same pic that I used for the zip, I had in my dropbox too and I don't notice the hole in this one. Weird. Try it and let me know please. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/Bats.png

Sweet! Looking forward to it!

Looks like it's still showing up, my man. Sorry!

It's cool. I will whip up another one later on tonight after I finish some school work and watch Modern Family heh. Since I'm making another, any preferences on color?

Usable Wallpaper Thread for Gtab

So I keep seeing threads pop up on wallpaper this & Wallpaper that.
I thought it would be cool if we started a thread on usable and favorite wall paper for the Gtab.
(Please keep this thread on track for the subject)
Here are two that I created quickly I had these made originally for my Hero, so I just increased the size.

Here are some Diamond plate ones.

And some more of the fur type

Fire and Ice

Shattered Screen

Android puzzle

Nice looking backgrounds, may have to try a couple.

Thank you for sharing .

Do live wallpapers count? If so there are three witch I've tried and work okay on this beast..
Super Mario Live
3D Matrix & Reloaded Live
Rotate Earth Live
Silhouette Live
Canopy Live
A couple dozen others I tried only showed/worked partially.
For regular wallpapers I've got a Martian sunset, the only panoramic view of Venus' surface from the Russian probe, a couple of Earth orbit and Earth's city lights from space... some anime I'll post them when I get home.

Yes Live wallpapers would count, post all wallpapers so everyone can check them out.

I'm not on my gtab right now so I can post the wps I have but I'd like to share this website where I downloaded some wallpapers. Cool thing about this site is, if you go to the website using your gtab, there's a process in there that will auto detect your wallpaper size. If you don't want it to autodetect, you can also choose the resolution you want. After you choose the size a preview will pop up and you can long press to save it or set it as your wallpaper. The wallpapers look great.
You don't have to sign up and there's some pretty cool wallpapers.
http://www.desktopnexus.com/

Here are some pretty cool wallpapers
The first two are from the anime Bleach, don't know if any of you read or watch the anime/manga. 1st is Ichigo in his new hollow form, 2nd is Ulquiorra in his release form.
The last two are from where else-space! 1st is an earth orbit shoot. 2nd a Martian sunset from taken by the Spirit rover. PS. Look at how tiny the sun looks like from Mars..
Look at page one I will edit my post and post some more.

i've found that wallpapers on the zeam launcher work pretty much perfect. the launcher is smart enough to resize it properly without having to zoom in much. needless to say, i'm sticking with this launcher from now on. only thing that it doesn't have for me is being able to save your configuration.
and here are a whole bunch of 1024x1024 wallpapers: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/apple_devices/ipad_1024x1024/
yea i know its ipad but hey, its 1024x1024.

I like this one

Anyone know where to get this wallpaper
would really like to find it to continue working on my overall theme
Thanks

aquarium free and aquarium donate work great.. Im using it on my tab right now.. love the turtle and the little treasure chest

I dunno if they made it, but I remember that wp from cyanogen mod Makto, you'll be able to find it on their latest rom.

Silly question, but...
Why is it that my tablet will crop images from widescreen to square when selecting an image as wallpaper?

i think thats an android limitation. not sure though because it does the same on my Droid, crops the pic as a square.

It does it for the side scrolling effect. For example on a 480x800 res phone which is normally in portrait you need to use a 960x800 sized image to avoid it being cropped (if you turn the phone landscape it crops the bottom of the image).
The best solution I've found for the Gtab is to use 1024x1024 images (heaps here http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/apple_devices/ipad_1024x1024/) and set them using the app Wallpaper Set & Save.

Frustrated with Backgrounds!

I have spent the last several hours downloading wallpapers from 4walled.org for my phone. The wallpapers look so nice on the computer, and I really wanted to start theming my phone with them.
So I've loaded up the 300+ wallpapers to my SD-card, and as I start browsing through them in the gallery, I have realized one immutable fact: they all look horrible. The gradients aren't really gradient, they're splotchy.
It was my understanding that this phone's LCD was capable of 24bit color? Perhaps it is not and this is where my woes are from. I have also noticed that .PNG backgrounds do seem to look better than the .jpg counterparts.
Any comments or wisdom into selecting backgrounds would be greatly appreciated.

I just looked at some of those images and they dont look that high quality to me. Maybe your monitor is older and made them look better than they are. Check here for some more. Maybe you will find some you like. http://wallbase.cc/start/

Look up "wallpaper set and save" on market, it will eliminate the color banding you get when you set a wallpaper through the gallery app.
Also make sure the resolution on any wall you get is a minimum of 960x800.

I use fish bowl photo which will also eliminate the banding. dodol wallpaper maker works great for setting portrait wallpapers too.

Thank you for that site, I always used Interfacelift.net. Nice addition.

I regularly raid DeviantArt for backgrounds and use Wallpaper Wizardrii to set the wallpapers. WW allows you to set a properly sized background without cropping.

Do you prefer that over the Fish Bowl Gallery? And does it support high-resolution images?

I've never used Fish Bowl. I only just started using WW today, but I would think that the no crop feature would only work on a wallpaper that was at or below the correct size for the display.

its all about nik.bot.nu thanks for wallbase.cc tho, another site to lose large chunks of my life too lmao

I get my wallpapers from socwall.com. Thats where I found my current wallpaper.

Thanks for all the links and the info! I will surely check those out!
