Does anybody know/have screen dimensions for multiple screens on the Evo?
For example, I have five screens after rooting...does that change wallpaper dimensions? I notice my older images I used for three screen layouts get pixel-ish.
Thanks in advance.

I mean I know the resolution is 1280x800, but as you swipe between the homescreens the wallpaper moves in the background.
That suggests to me that its wider than 1280 pixels to fit over all screens.
So what would be a good resolution?
(I can start looking for pictures now, whilst i wait for the device )
The default_wallpaper.jpg file showing the tree and clouds is 2135 x 1408 pixels.

Thanks, but does that mean it is being squeezed horizontally? Or do it crop it?
Now it suddenly sounds confusing.
I'd assume it should be the same as the default one 2135x1408 as it has to be for both landscape and portrait, as well as scrolling side to side.

Ah yes, good point - it has to work in both modes - it just makes it harder for the end user to get the focus of the picture in picture so to speak.
Oh well, I guess its a minor problem
Is it just me or when I try and take a picture from my Gallery and use it as a Wallpaper no matter how big I make the crop box it still kind of zooms in when its set as the wallpaper?
Also when you go to change the wallpaper you have a Wallpaper section but how do you put new wallpapers into this section as it doesn't come up when connected to the pc?
Depending on how its implemented...i would say its a 2:1 ration that being x:y respectively. so w/e that is with the stock res would be what u want. ... 1600x1200?
You could just do the largest of the screen res for both x and y. 1280 x 1280 would cover the background in either landscape or portrait.

But you also want to scroll between your homescreens. And a 1280x1280 resolution would not make this any beautiful experience
if the app wallpaper set and save works then use that and take a native resolution wallpaper (same as stock). I use this app on my galaxy s and sets the picture perfectly where as the galaxy s makes a right hash of it
I have a picture where I want to show most of the picture as the bit I want to show on the homesecreen is in the middle right of the picture, but no matter how I crop it always zooms in too much and cuts off half the detail I want. I was thinking of adding some black bars to the top and bottom of the pic, as hopefully it would zoom out a bit then and the only time you'd see the black bars is when the wallpaper scrolls 'up' like when you press and hold the desktop to get to the widget menu.

If that works, perhaps you could make a short of template of that and share it with us
Sometimes wallpapers differ on each device due to screen Resolution
So i would suggest that you find your devices resolution by taking a Screenshot and checking the Screenshot.png dimensions
Suppose its 720x1280 , now multiply the width x 3 (depending on number of homescreens) , the new dimensions are2160x1280
So now you can have an idea of what size of wallpaper you should be looking for, for being precise you can calculate the ratio also .
Hello,
How can I divide screen in two columns, each one 50% of screen width ? I suppose it is quite simple but until now I can´t do it
Hi.
I only recently got a android phone(HTC Wildfire S), so please excuse the noob question.
I have made a few test icons consisting of text using pixel-fonts. I have tried various sizes(256x256, 128x128 etc.), fiddling around with my launcher(ADW, ADW ex), but they still end up small and blurry. Is it simply not possible to have icons that scale properly with ADW?
Maybe it's your phone. From my knowledge, the Wildfire S is a budget smartphone, so I'm guessing it has a 480x320 resolution of <200ppi. I don't have any blurry icon issues on my phone, also on ADW.
So, there is something else scaling the icons besides ADW? I tried fiddling with the Icon Size slider on ADW ex, but It's difficult to get to exact numbers when there's no options for manual input numbers.
Been playing arond with varous apps to increase the font and icon sizes, and wondered whats the max icon size (in pixels) I can use on the note?
Looking round for some hi-res icons that are larger than default, some of the apps Ive used tend to zoom in, which look awful.. I want to make the most out of the phones res....
Would also help when trawling through the thousands of icon packs, to find ones that have bigger icons...
Love my new note, sold my gs2 to get one, best move Ive made!
Cheers
EDIT:
Ive got an icon pack (zip file) which contains icons of 125x125 pixel, hi res, and am using GO Launcher EX with grid of 5 rows 4 columns, and I the icons aeem the same size.. I notice when I move an icon, and the grid shows, the spaces between the drid marks is huge, how do I make my icons use more of this space???
I think Go Launcher automatically re-sizes the icons. Don't know if GO has an option to turn it off, but i know ADW has it.
the Note is xhdpi (320 dpi)
(Extra-high density screen)
96x96

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.
