[Wallpapers]Chosen ones

Some wallpapers, just resized to the wvga resolution.

Thank you! wallpaper enthusiasts might want to check here for santod040's 15,000 wallpaper collection and also consider installing antwork's auto wallpaper changer....it fantastic

addded some more. It seems that if the picture has higher DPI, it looks high quality without the tweaks (hdwall etc). Anybody can check please? I know santod has a very nice collection, but many of his pictures are very brught and cannot be used with bg4all. Here I would like to pick wallpapers suitable for bg4all only.

one more. Hope you will like it.

thanks... great wallpaperss.... one questione, anyone have more animated wallpapers

[Q] Setting Picture as Wallpaper - Picture scaled and centered instead of cropped

I am trying to set a picture I took with my digital camera as my wallpaper but am having a hard time. The preview shows the crop box with the area I want but when I set it as the wallpaper the home screen instead shows the full picture scaled to about 25% and centered on the screen so I end up with a small image surrounded by a large black border.
I have edited the pictures to be 1920x1200 which I know is not the correct resolution but it is more than adequate for all the other images I have used as wallpapers. This is only happening with images I took myself also.
Has any one else seen this happen and possible know a fix?
Thanks

I may have figured it out the images that have the trouble have an extension of .JPG I re-saved one with the extension lowercase, .jpg, and it displayed properly.

[Q] Wallpaper size

Hopefully someone can answer this for me.
Why is it that no matter what size I save an image as that the wallpaper setter always wants me to crop it? I just ran an image through Gimp to re-size it to fit the dimensions of the boot image for the boot image app, bit even at 255x320 the wallpaper tool wants to crop most of the image away. What size image does the darn thing want? Maybe I'm a tech-tard, but I thought I should be able to figure this out on my own.
Thanks for any help you can give me on this, it's been bugging me for a while now.

Can't remember exactly what the wallpaper size is, but I do know I could never get it to work.
Here's what I learnt off another post here.
Download Wallpaper Slide show (Birbeck) from the Market and download any size wallpaper and point the app to that folder, usually downloads. Then select wallpaper slide show under live wallpapers, have it set randomn or whatever you want.
Then you have nice pictures with no need to mess about cropping or downloading exact sizes.
You can change wallpapers on the fly just by tapping on the screen.

Thanks Xoom68,
I'll give it a try.

Try 1920 x 1408

use 540x960 image as wallpaper without cropping

android always asks me to crop the image, but i just want to use the whole thing as a non-scrollable background. how do i do it? thanks!
p.s. rom=hypernonsense

Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market. Select your picture, use non-scroll and scale options. Problem solved.

thanks, got it!

[Q] Wallpaper not fitting the screen perfectly

Hello,
I want to set a 1080x1920 picture as wallpaper but I can't make it to fit my screen perfectly - there are either black bars at some sides of the screen or the wallpaper is messed up. I've tried to use Wizardrii and Image2Wallpaper in many ways and this is the closest of what I was able to do: http://i.imgur.com/RuMWRNu.jpg
Any suggestions? I'm using Action Launcher Pro without any additional screens so I don't want my wallpaper to scroll. I would like it to be something like if you set a wallpaper on Windows PC. Plain and simple

Out of interest, are higher res wallpapers better?

Not sure what do you mean but I always like to choose high resolution wallpapers, they simply look nicer for me. Also I prefer static wallpapers over the scrolled ones.:angel:

Screen is 1080x1920 in portrait mode. Not.1920x1080 so make sure you're getting wallpapers then right shape.
If you get a higher resolution than that, it cannot look better. It will either crop or compress (which could look worse) but if you do get a higher resolution than that, do you still get the bars?

I'm aware about differences, that's why I'm looking for 1080x1920 wallpapers instead of reversal Also when I look for higher resolution wallpapers, I usually look for those who are exactly 1.5x or 2x bigger than the native resolution and for those with the same aspect ratio (16:9/9:16 in that case). I'll look for a bigger wallpapers and then let you know.
EDIT: Found a wallpaper which is two (...or four?) times bigger: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/313/d/2/bad_boy_by_p0nystark-d6tnf8n.jpg
Trying to set it as wallpaper resulted in a black bar on top of the screen: http://i.imgur.com/RpFoBGB.jpg
I'm still messing with all the possible options in both of those apps. How come that Android itself is not able to properly set such a wallpaper? For me it is actually ridiculous...

Image 2 wallpaper works great for me.
