Hey I went through and resized 30 wallpapers for the evo that I use on my phone. Hope you all enjoy.
Post some screen shots of you rocking the wallpapers if you want so we can all see.
Enjoy =)
Thanks! I'll post some screen shots soon
These are the ones I like most
Those look nice. Yeah that last one is one of my favorites. along with the stones one. it looks really good with all white text.
Hell yeah! This is freaking nice wallpapers too, none of those cheap ones!
Thanks, OP!
Your welcome. If I had more time I'd find more to resize.

nvm
Oooo I'm downloading that man. It looks good. My Fiance will want it on her evo for sure.
Very nice stuff! Thanks.

where can i find your clock and weather
Ok I'm hearing mixed views now so I'm confused.
All the tech sites say the evo resolution is 800x480 so I sized my wallpapers accordingly.
But I have someone say the resolution is 960x800. Which is true? I really didn't think the later is true because the official sites aren't saying it's that res.
pretty sure its 800x480
Anyways.. why is such a pain to set wallpapers. You shouldnt need to resize the wallpaper. Everytime i try to set a picture as wallpaper.. it makes me crop it and It never looks right.

Ok cool that's what I thought. Thanks for helping me clear it up.
I've also been wondering why of makes me resize. I'm wondering if that's a sense thing instead of an Android thing. Can anyone comment on that?

Hello all. I have compared the two sizes on a few evos by making wallpaper in both sizes. When you resize wallpapers at 960x800 it will look/be hi-res no questions asked. OTOH 800x480 is display resolution this DOES NOT equate to wallpaper size. Its definitely not wallpaper size.
I kinda like the argyle ones, but they're a bit too much for me personally.
I am trying out the following though.

It is 960x480 because there are the additional home screens
Thanks a bunch! Found a handful of them I like.
I'm glad people are liking them even though I guess they are the wrong resolution.
When I find some more that I like I'll make some in a better resolution and put more up.
I found these on deviant art. So if anyone sees any they like let me know and I'll check em out and add them to the list for you guys.
Hey I made another pack at the correct resolution if you guys want some more.
Sixteen 960x800 Wallpapers
Hey there
Since it seems kinda hard to get your wallpaper not cropped, I made a template just for the TF (Stock Launcher)^^
The whole wallpaper has to be 2048x1504, even thought your homescreen will only show 1368x804 of the whole wallpaper...
Your wallpaper has to contain a section you will never see (top: 123px, bottom 175px)
And to on the left & right side 20px you will only see through the bounce-effect.
If the template is not enough I can write some guide for making wallpapers, too
Good luck ;D
UPDATE 27-Jun-2011:
Added new/updated templates:
Stock - 2048x1504
Stock - 1917x1408
Launcher Pro - 1700x1358
UPDATE 30-Jun-2011:
New Template for portrait mode - 2048x1504
So.. about the resolution thing... the transformer resizes the wallpapers to 1920x1408... so speaking of "sharpness" it doesnt matter if you make it 2048x1504 or 1920x1408 (template is still 1917... I mean... 3 pixels <.<)
The only thing that matters is what you want to see... if you got a bigger picture you want to see, take the higher resolution and the transformer will scale it down to 1920x1408 by itself.
Going to rewrite the guide for both resolutions tomorrow (if i have time to..)
*suggestion: maybe you can make us wallpapers, like make a wallpaper thread just for the TF.. just saying. / other than that, thanks for the template
Sent from GadgetViews.... Rockin Evo CM7 Nightlies.
the problem with making wallpapers is that I dont know what exactly you want to see on your homescreen
sure, if someone needs help I can build the wallpaper for him, its easy with wallpapers bigger than 2048x1504, but it gets kinda tricky if the wallpaper is smaller then you have to add custom borders to each site so the pic you want to see is in the center.
If you are ok with black borders around the pic, then thats no problem too, but if you dont want a black frame around the pic, it's a lot of harder to make it fit and look good
So if you can't get it done yourself, just ask If I got time to spare I'll help you out.
thanks for the template!
maybe someone should just make a wallpaper thread and we can all post ones that work nicely in it.
if no one makes one before i get around to making some wallpapers, i'll do it
2048x1504px
I was using 1920x1408 which seems to work perfect for me, I even checked if it gets resized using a 2x2px grid - strange.

I'm using Gimp for Windows, if anyone is wondering what app can be used too edit or resize a wallpaper.
GIMP FOR WINDOWS
I think this is the longest i have spent trying to apply a *^(%^(^%(^ wallpaper on anything and cant figure it out.
Using wallpaper wizardrii, isn't helping.
Holding the tablet horizontal 99% of the time, gives me short, not long enough, views of the wallpaper
I've tried the dimension up top in every way possible lol
H (2048) x W (1504)
also
W (2048) x H (2048)
I can take screen shots but im about too see if this tablet can/will be a true transformer out the window

yeah other resolutions should be okay as well but it seems like 2048x1504 is a good resolution if you want a pretty sharp picture

LP plus with auto-rotate
The original Asus tree wallpaper that was ripped from a TF was 2135 x 1408 pixels. I see that your dimensions are slightly different. Are you saying that the original had less/extra information in it than was necessary, or just that 2048 x 1504 looks good enough onscreen not to need to make it precisely like the original please?

Ah ok.. havent tried LP but i've heard that wallpapers behave different on ADW and LP, I'll test it myself later.

The resolution I use was mentioned in the Home Screen Thread and its working flawless. If you for example take my template and set it as your wallpaper, you will see that the crop-selection fills the whole pic. Even thought the crop-lines shown, arent the real ones you will have after the cut (Mine are the real ones.. )
the problem with 2135x1408 is that when you crop it, there is a part which is not in the crop-selection-field.. so you wont get 2135x1408, but 1917x1408 and your center screen will be about 1280x753... maybe they did it because display resolution is 1280x800.. but yeah they got 1280 with their version and we got x804 with mine maybe I should "optimize" it to x800 ;D
Ok cheers for the info.
So here is a first version of the launcherpro template
pic size is 1700x1358
homescreen is 1362x800
still trying to figure out whats the best resolution for the homescreen area...
EDIT:
see first post
sweet will try this..i am amking them @ 1920x1408
updated first post =)
if somebody still has problems just feel free to ask
So is there a special way to put these wallpapers into my Transformer (rooted) or do I just stick them in my SD?

Put them on the internal or external sd, long tap the homescreen, choose wallpapers, then gallery and search for your picture last you have to resize the crop-thing to cover the whole screen. at least thats the way for the stock launcher
Can someone resize this pic for me please, to have the better fit possible ?

Resized and added a black border.. should not be seen in use
Okay like that?
Thx, but definition image is blurry now
My original is 1680*1050, and you made 2048*1504 with my picture, the stretching modification render is not sharp now...
Picture resolution must be 1368x804 ? (with a little crop, to keep original ratio if necessary)
So can you make a picture with this resolution 1368x804
After resizing my picture, can you center it in your template, with black color surrounding in non-shown parts ?

If anyone of you has ever used a psp/ps3 you would know how awesome the XMB is! So i was wondering if anyone out there can start working on making an XMB launcher for our device.Thanks!!!

Would be kickass, Icon's arent an issue, But the wave formation seems to be frozen in that video, Like it's one of those sidescrolling lamps, I think I can remake that in AFX, But how to make it a LiveWallpaper is totally out of my area, Although id love to learn how
Amazin'! Mind-blowing! I love that thing! Imma wanna have it on my phone! IT reminds me of teh PSP! Oh..I miss it
Yeah i miss my psp too *sniff*!!!

I miss her a lot.
Can someone do it so that I don't miss ma psp
Best i can do is the livewallpaper in the background. After all it looks like a combi of icons and live wallpaper. Bootup logo could be changed in a way aswell.
Though a live wallpaper would be good but i think what we really need is a launcher like app

But from the looks of the video it looks like it can be easily done using a custom GO Launcher/ADW theme. What makes the android perfect is it has the smoothness of sidescrolling like PS3, Just no click sounds Or branchdown menus. Id love that
I'd love to have the wallpaper, on the pic attached. on my Desire S.
I have searched the whole web and even here on xda for the same or even something similar,but no go.
This wallpaper is maybe an Incredible S special, I dunno.
I'd really appreciate if someone points me to where to find this ....
Edit:
Now here it is !!!
Thank you xxmorph3u5xx for pointing the source image
You rock
seems like the weather live wallpaper in a rainy day.
at least when rained the other day my DS looked like tht
ok..so i actually believe that this looks rather similar to the last of the preinstalled htc wallpapers - the blurry bubbly stuff .
so what i did: photoshopped the original pic a bit, a little desaturation, a little colorise, a little motion blur.. hope it's what u were looking for.
cheers!
p.s.: if u want any other modification to the pic just ask, happy to help
Made this one from an existing wallpaper. Dialed back the saturation and blurred it. Looks quite nice on my phone!

Really awesome
I worked on this for hours. I got all the png pics right, used a gif of some flames, added the Kindle Fire boot logo, along with the "part0 and desc.txt" files. Created bootanimation.zip but no matter what I did it wouldnt show up on boot. So I was browsing around for a solution and found this tool. Worked great. I then tweaked and tweaked the size and timing trying to get it to look the best without a lot of hiccups. It does have a few delays right at the beginning but I got it the best I could. I think it came out pretty good considering Ive never created anything for android before. Im pretty much a follow tutorial only guy. But I got in the mood tonight to try to create and contribute. So anyway feel free to check it out.

Just make a copy of your original bootanimation at system/media, rename my Fire on Fire bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip then place it in same folder at system/media, reboot and enjoy (I Hope )
Looks cool, I'll try this out later.
this is really cool and works great with my Kindle Fire
Nice work man!
Created another.
I created another one. This one is called Kindle Fire Rising. Links below.

Same instructions as above for install. Hope you like it.
uhhhh just a thought. Those are really neat, I will be installing one, but you need to change that stock wallpaper to pimp these out properly
Really neat animations though. Get us more
Edit: please don't take that as an insult or me being a butthead. Was just being funny.

No offense taken. Hey call me strange, but I actually like the Fires wallpapers. I love the whole OS and launcher. Ive tried other custom roms like cyanogen, but ended up going back to stock. Just bought a Xoom today for under $300. So Ill most likely be playing around with that. But I havent stopped with the Fire. I had another boot animation all done, but ended up scrapping it. Everything looked great except for the logo. It was blurry. So Ill have to work on that one some more before I post it.
I have to admit, the stock ones have a nice resolution to them. Some are really nice and then the others are just meh. I do hope you keep at it. Those are neat. I want one of a dragon coming out and setting the word "Kindle" on fire. That would win me in a second

Yay! I had an idea That would be neat. Maybe replace the fire on that dragon with the animation you already have...not sure how that works. I'll leave that up to you
