Is it possible to modify the screen resolution? If so how? The reason for this is I downloaded some wallpapers 1024x1024 but whenever I use it as my wallpaper... Gallery places a "box" over a portion of the image (I assume that is the homescreen resolution) of course the image then is a lot larger (zoomed).
I don't think you can

Whats the best screen resolution to set a pic as a wallpaper? My first wallpaper was 533x800 in pixels that I uploaded and set as my wallpaper and it came out perfect. It was stretched to fit the entire screen. Anyway I tried to change my wallpaper which is now smaller and when I click on the start menu its got it all in tiles so I have heaps and heaps of them it looks bad. What is the ideal size to crop it too so that it "stretches" to fit the entire screen?
The screen is VGA, so the best resolution would be 640*480 (native VGA). Obvisously if the same images are going to be used elsewhere too then a higher or lower res might be in order (to prevent them looking terrible on the other device).
Give 640x640 a shot, that way you have a good wallp even when you go to landscape.
When I try to use a pic from my gallery as a wallpaper it makes me crop it and the pic is all distorted looking. Is there a way to use the whole pic?
You can have the image appear in higher resolution if you use justpictures and adjust the maximum display resolution in the app settings. Cropping is still required due to size differences between pics and wallpapers.
The app also allows you to include, facebook, picasa, etc so all your photos are easily accessed.
as the title, did anyone know exactly what is the correct resolution size of wallpaper for note 10.1 in portrait mode?
Wouldn't it be 800x1200?

800x1200 is landscape mode, the portrait mode may need a higher resolution size since if use the 800x1200 will not fully cover the screen as there is a 2 black bars up and bottom.

the screen resolution is 1280x800, but you need wallpapers with 1280x1280 px if you use auto rotation.
You can easily use ipad 3 wallpapers since the resolution is bigger, or widescreen wallpapers with higher resolutions than FullHD, like 2560x1440 (cropped to 1440x1440)
To make my own wallpapers I go with 3 times the screen resolution and then set the wallpaper using Gallery and crop the image to a size that works. I use 3 times the size so that Gallery will be able to use what I want.
Basically crop the picture to an exact square to use auto rotation.
Just beware that you dont cut 'her' head off in the pic
What's the ideal wallpaper resolution for the Nexus 5. By ideal, I mean a resolution that maps pixel for pixel to the screen pixels. I have seen a couple of sources that suggest matching the physical screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 but that cannot be correct. For both stock and Nova launchers, the image scrolls side to side as I move from one screen to the next. Therefore it must be something like 1920x1080+n where 'n' is the number of pixels that the wallpaper moves when moving from screen to screen times the number of screens-1.
Or does the home screen vary the distance scrolled sideways according to the width available for a given wallpaper and the number of screens?.
Thanks!

1920x1920 would mean that your phone would be full screen, pixel by pixel in both landscape and portrait but it would not scroll. I cant speak for all launchers but with Nova, anything over 1080 width (in portrait) will be divided by how many screens in that direction for scrolling.
So for example, if I have a really wide picture, but only 3 screens, the scrolling effect of the wallpaper will be a large difference. The more screens I add, the smaller that difference will become.
For me, I want a big choice of wallpapers without editing so, I go for as close a match to the 1920 height that I can get without going under.. so on interfacelift I go by 16:9, 3840x2160 - sure I know I'm 140 over on the height... If I could be bothered, I'd bulk trim them

Just switched from Note 4 to S6. So problem is i have some great high-res wallpapers and when i set it as wallpaper it's not showing in high quality, I didn't had that problem on Note.
When i look at the same image in gallery it's stunning, but when it's set up as a wallpaper its not that sharp as it should be. Same probelm in TW and in Nova Launcher.
This is how it looks in gallery. Sharp and no problems.

This is how it looks as wallpaper, blurred and not sharp. Notice red eye sharpness. Not that visible on PC but problem is there.

Try going to settings > Display and Wallpaper > Screen Mode.
Found a solution. By using app SB Wallpaper Changer i can set up any image as wallpaper and it's finally showing in its full QHD glory. Can't believe no one else noticed that or reported problem.
ok i have a very good solution for this problem
