[Q] Wallpaper resolution? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

No need to write anything else hehe.
What's the resolution of the XZ wallpapers? 1920 x 1080 images aren't working out too good.

AW: [Q] Wallpaper resolution?
Provided you want a scrollable wallpaper, usually it's 1.5*width and 1*height. That would be... uhm... 1080+540=1620. So 1620 in width and 1920 in height.

Nea 1920 x 1080 seems to be way too big, the phone wants to crop the image before it sets the image as a wallpaper.
Can't select the whole image, or I don't know how hahaha.

AW: [Q] Wallpaper resolution?
Well you need to enlarge the selection box. Which you cant if the image is the exact size of the screen. Apply logic: the pic needs to be wider than 1 screen width (scrolling wallpaper), it needs to be at least 1.5*width wide.

2160x1920 fit perfect on Homescreen, 100%.

In the attachment you can see what I mean.
That image is 1920 x 1080, but I cant make a bigger selection then that.

AW: [Q] Wallpaper resolution?
Oh man, give me a rest.
Ok, lets make it simple: just look at your phone, what it looks like. Learn about the technical details of your device, it's got a 1080 by 1920 screen, NOT 1920x1080. Or is your Xperia wider than it is high...?
The wallpaper needs to be HIGHER than it is wide. Roughly 1600 wide and 1900 high. Yours is wider than it is high.

There is a setting in launcher pro that you can keep the wallpaper centered. Its in appearance settings > disable wallpaper scrolling. This way you can make a wallpaper for the res of a single screen
Im trying to make a wallpaper so its optimized for 3 screens

Well take the screen resolution of the captivate 480x800 and then just triple width. Adjust as needed as you test. Pretty simple math.

Well just try something and then see the results and then adjust accordingly
it's be awesome if you could change the shape of the crop piece in the wallpaper picker
then you could have 3 different backgrounds.
I have found that an image of 960 x 800 pix is the best resolution for the wallpaper cropping tool no matter how many home screens l am using. my guess is you wil want to play with your image until it looks right at that resolution on three home screens.
Number of Screens Does Not Matter
It is my understanding that the number of screens you have has no effect on the resolution of the wallpaper.
The only thing that changes is the rate of scrolling. The more screens you have, the slower the scroll rate, fewer screens increases the scroll rate.
That said, there is no specific resolution for a 3 screen layout vs. any other number of screens.
The phone's (general) optimum resolution for wallpaper is about 960 x 800. So any photo or picture will fit best on the phone if you pre-configure it to that size.
Of course it's best to start with a photo that is larger than that and then either crop it down or resize it to the smaller 960 x 800 dimensions. Increasing the size of, or zooming, a smaller photo up to the optimum 960 x 800, will usually degrade the quality (and clarity) of it.
While 960 x 800 is considered optimum, you can put other sizes on the phone too...you'll just lose a small portion of it, or blank space will be added depending on how you use the wallpaper crop box.

Wallpaper resolution?

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.

yes 1920x1408 crops fits perfectly but still about 250 pxls are cut on either end
This happens on the default wallpapers too... look at the android flower wallpaper...
but the images are sharp now... but still if you have a vertical target in the picture... their head and feet are cut.

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?
thanks a ton

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.
Have a look at my post here for a template PDF file.

you are a godsend, yes every other tip here makes the wallpaper crispier but they are still cropped.
You don't notice this if you set a abstract wallpaper.
What you posted is dead on the spot. Thanks a million

If you're asking for the size of the wallpaper as width × height, it's 960 × 800.

No I do not mean. in Rom there is an apk where you can cut the size of the background image. if I'm doing a photo and go on to use as background. then a cutout window is where I can zoom the size of what is to be used as background. I can not cut the entire screen but only one part. but there are roms with Sense 3.5 with which the entire screen is used.

if i understand what you are asking, then you must use another ROM with sense 3.0 +, because your seems cannot use the whole picture...

Potrait wallpaper

Hi guys!
My english isnt the best but ill try.
What size should my wallpapers be if I want to use them in potrait mode? Every pic i put as wallpaper gets zoomed in and look like crap!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
they should be 1600 (horizontal) by 1280 (vertical) that will give you a scrolling wallpaper for several screens. If you don't want the wallpaper to scroll between screens then just use 800 (horizontal) by 1280 (vertical) for a static wallpaper that stays in place while your icons scroll over it.
It is hard to find images that are 1280 deep. I usually look for pictures that have dimensions that ends with ________ x 1400, then just crop them.

No, it's 2160x1920, not the original full HD resolution.
The wallpapers on my thread was disabled due to "thread stealing" by another forum...sadly...but you can search on Google that resolution, or trying to resize an high resolution image to 2160x1920...

The easiest way to get wallpapers on the screen the way you want them (without cropping) is to download a free Play Store app called Image 2 Wallpaper: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5zaGlyb2Jha2FtYS53YWxscGFwZXIiXQ..

Just times the width (1080) by two = 2160 for a perfectly fitted scrolling wallpaper.

Thanks I'll give it a go. I really just want to have 1080 wide images and set them non scrolling on the screen, full width. The stock wallpaper selection drives me mad. It opens Album and I can't seem to even control which photos to use (eg, I have an Xperia Wallpapers folder I made). and then if you select a photo, it gives you a cross shaped cropper for scrolling wps. I just want a picture on my desktop...
I tried some of the wallpaper slideshow apps, but I'm having such bad trouble with choppy playback of music I uninstalled them. I may go back.
