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...

What the size to resize to and easiest way to do it?
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.

The PERFECT resolution (for a better scrolling) is 2160x1920.

There is no need to crop. you can pinch zoom your wallpaper to the maximum.

Mine wallpapers doesn't look pixelated, but you can try Wallpaper Set And Save from the market. Even it says it wont work on 2.1, but it does. It works on my phone and keeps the picture sharp. Just remember to use only 960x800 wallpapers on it.
I miss the feature on the symbian phones that I just throw in any sized wallpaper and it scales them accordingly to the screen resolution..

Not when I used it. Sure you can apply any size of wallpaper and it fits the screen. Is that good? Then it will look even more stretched/receded. Or how does it make the wallpaper to fit perfectly on screen, if you have 1280x800 wallpaper?
A new feature in new firmwares?
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

There are roms from which the entire screen is to choose. I can change the window in the size, but not only in the broad 800th of 400 x Who can help me?
many Thanks
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...

I found out the issue is for example i download an image off the net and i do some modification on it and i save it shows like 45kb while originally it was 1mb...
How can i turn off the compression ?

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.

No - that's correct. If it's exactly the right size for your device then unless it's doing some stupid compression on your phone you shouldn't lose any quality.
Ok almost 2 am gonna get some sleep and try tomorrow reports ASAP

I think i fixed the quality issue i just had to put 1080x960 canva size.. tested on 1 wallpaper will try on others and report again..

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.
