Hello Guys,
I notice there are 2 available wallpaper sizes for SGN, 1600x1280 and 800x1280. May i know the difference particularly? And how to fit said wallpapers to screen perfectly, because i had tried to use default setting (portrait & landscape) for resizing but it just won't fit as a whole picture but cropped.
Thanks in advance.

The 1600x1280 one is better for scrollable wallpaper and the second one if you want the wallpaper to be fix. I don't know if it's possible to choose non-scrollable wallpaper on TouchWiz. I use Go Launcher which you can choose what kind of wallpaper you want. I read on the net that it's also possible to do that with LauncherPro

Ic...thanks for your info & tips, really appreciate it here. I'll give it a try afterwards then
800x1280 can be also used for the lockscreen.

Hi,
I'm trying to get dark-ish wallpapers for my "theme". But what I would really like is to have (or, if need be, make) a wallpaper for my Samsung Galaxy S (SGS) which is different on multiple screens. Meaning image X would be on the default screen, image Y on the next screen, and image Z on the third screen. SGS is an HDMI device...I think that is relevant. Anyone know of existing wallpapers which lend themselves to this type of setup?
edit: I'm using ADW Launcher. I'm also guessing that such wallpapers would need to be tailored to the number of screens, as swiping the screen moves the wallpaper a different amount depending on how many screens... but I don't have a specification on how much that amount is. Ideally I could get a wallpaper which would display a different image accross 3 - 4 screens.
You need to Multipic Live Wallpaper.

I sort of think this should be included in a sticky how-to thread, as this is a great tool / method for theme makers. This is awesome. I was looking for this for a long time. Thank you for answering the question.
You know...it would be even cooler if you can set the lock screen image within the multi-picture live wallpaper app as well. But that may be asking for too much.
Again...thanks!
No problem. I hope you enjoy it. I know I do.
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

I don't have access to my Tab right now but try 1024x1024 wallpaper and see if that works.
I'll check back later today with more info.

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.
Hi all. I ve just bought galaxy tab and i ve made a custom wallpaper for it. The resolution of the screen is 1024x600 so i ve made a wall with this reolution but it doesn't fit properly with the screen. I ve tried also 1200x1024 but i ve got the same problem. I ve tried to make one smaller, like 800x600.nothing to do. What is the right resolution for a galaxy tab wall?
Many thanks
Luca
Its not the picture that's the problem. Some roms/gallery apps don't scale them properly. They'll either be good quality but not fit the screen, or slightly pixelated and be full screen.

My wallpapers looking good in app gallery; the problem appears when i try to set the wallpaper as a background (i see an orange squared area that highlight a portion of image).
I rather expected to see my picture as big as the orange rectangle, but it's not, due to wrong wallpaper resolution (i think)
EDIT:
i have found this topic: http://bit.gy/Zy
and the resolution suggested in that thread is the same i've tried
As Ganjdroid suggested, it's not the images that's at fault here. Personally, I hate the stock wallpaper app so I use the browser. If you can, put the image online somewhere, browse to it and long-hold it and select "set as wallpaper". That's the best method I've found for setting hi-res wallpapers.
There's also "Wallpaper set and save" in the market which does a good job too.

That's right. Setting from the browser works fine... Strange.
But, the AOSP Gallery will size images correctly but you lose a bit of quality, the stock Samsung Gallery will keep quality but won't fit right at the top and bottom.

Uh, how about giving QuickPic a try? Free on the market, it's an awesome gallery app.

The correct wallpaper resolution is 1024x1200. Look for an app called gTabWallpaper. If you have wallpapers of this resolution, that app will apply it properly. It also sets larger resolutions quite nicely.

Wallpapers have been an issue since the Tab was launched, it seems to be a prob with the way the Tab scales.
Download Quickpic from the market and use that app to set your wallpapers (1200x1024). With Quickpic you'll have no problem at all and your wallpapers will be sharp and clear.
Do you use any HD wallpaper app?
What is the correct size for the wallpaper for a Inc S/2? I am trying to set wallpapers using Tasker, but they keep winding up getting cropped and look odd. What size should the images be?
Just download wallpaper wizardrii best app to set wallpaper crop, no crop, exact everything
Problem is I am trying to set the wallpaper with Tasker....
800h*960w
you need to double the weidth
so 800*480 becomes 800*960
960x800 works perfectly
Thanks for this size I was getting quite frustrated when trying to add a portrait picture as my wallpaper
Below is the image I always use as a template, as the red area shows what will be displayed on the center screen

Wizardii seems like a great little app to help set wallpapers. I use the no scroll setting. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&feature=search_result

Hello everyone!
I just bought LG P880, and that's my first android phone.
Tried to find an answer on this forum but no luck...
I think that you can help me...
My (noob) question is:
How can I put the WHOLE wallpaper on screen?!?
I successfully transfer file from PC to mobile, and when I want to set it as a wallpaper I have to "cut" it...i don't want to cut it I want the wholw picture on my screen!!!! The resolution of the picture is 720x1280, so that can't be the problem...
Only wallpapers that are original on phone can be full size on screen?!?
I hope that you understrand what I want, and for you all it's probably a noob question, but please help...

The problem is the resolution. A wallpaper needs to be twice as wide as the screen - that way the wallpaper can scroll correctly when you move homepages. Therefore you need to make sure your wallpaper is 1440x1280. If you only every want a single homescreen then take your 720x1280 wallpaper and add 360 pixels of junk on each side so it is the right size.

Or you can just use an app called PicSpeed Wallpaper. It lets you set any wallpapers at their original size.
