I love this live wallpaper BUT it has an obvious problem: the custom background size is limited to 480x800 instead of 960x800!
Anyone managed to play it with full 960x800?
Are you referring to the "Falling Snow" live wallpaper by NewCaboose?
If so, I am the developer for that application.
I was not aware of this problem with the wallpaper, can you tell me what device you are using?

Have a look at the sub-forum we are in, and take a guess
Ah, I see. My apologies, I found this through a Google search.
So then the 960x800 is beyond the bounds of the resolution of the Nexus One. I assume that is the "standard" size for a wallpaper that would scroll when changing home screens.
I can add this feature into the wallpaper, but not any time soon. I just moved into a new house and I don't have a desk for my computer.
If anybody else would like to add this feature, I have no problem releasing the source code, as long as it is returned back to me to release on the market. I don't want multiple versions of my wallpaper cluttering up the market.
It will be great with 960x800 and a Christmas wallpaper included for later purpose
Is their such an app that allows for a single, wide, wallpaper that scrolls with tabs? I came across HDWall but i am skeptical about using it, plus all i want is what i described above and nothing more.
such features are called panoramic wallpaper, one of android's eye candy IMHO
as far as i know, the only app that able to bring you that panoramic thingy is the HDWall, and judging by the huge number of users, it should be good and safe enough to use.
..or try searching for MaxManila around the forum, it also has the ability to enable panoramic wallpaper, but it'll also put in a lot of other features you might not really need.
otherwise, buy an android phone instead
Moved as not software release.
For some reason, no matter the resolution of the image I select for my wallpaper, it seems as if the tablet just zooms in on one part of the image and stretches it out. I have also tried selecting the largest section the gallery will allow, but it still just looks pixelated with a huge loss in background quality. Anyone have solutions?
HI Res Wallpaper
Download "Multi picture live wallpaper" from the market. Will solve your problem.
It's not showing up on the market for some reason. Do you happen to have the apk? Thanks
Here you go.
thanks man. I will give it a try
Might sound like a n00b question, but how to you go about installing this app? I unzipped the folder but there is no .apk file, and I tried installing the zip using CWM but still no results...

I opened the zip with astro. Apk was definitely there.
Once its installed you should find it under live wallpapers. Its not a seperate app.
Thanx to rapcon for the suggestion and upload.
Sent from my VEGAn G-Tab
Yup I kinda figured it out now, lol, I was using the iFile Manager that came with TnT Lite, but I guess its not as good as Astro, thanks

Thanks for the recommendation.
Is there another way to create wallpapers and set them so that they show up with better resolution?
I expect that there is a preferred size and file-type that android prefers. For example, the vegan-tab default wallpapers always look centered and clear, but when I set a .jpg file to be the wallpaper, I only see one top corner of the image.
Robeet had recommended 1024x1024 in the past, but that didn't work for me.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks for the app, but unfortunately it seems to assume 7 horizontal screens. Sweeter Home uses 5 screens arranged in a '+' shape, so it looks fine on the main screen but the left and right screens don't display anything.
Thanks for the app post. I too have been struggling to figure out how to get high def wallpapers to work. I use launcher pro, 5 screen and have the settings configured to allow wallpaper scrolling. When I enable multi screen live walpaper, it still doesn't show the image as high of def as it should.
For example, I went to interfacelift and downloaded a 1024x600 nature image. When viewed in the browser (stock), it looks quite good. Very sharp and crisp. However, when I save this image to the sdcard, and set it up as the wallpaper in multi screen, it gets all blurry and looses definition. I've gone through all 3 settings of "crop/resize ratio" and none produce the same high def image as I see in the browser.
Is anyone else having similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next? I guess I should switch back to the stock launcher just to see what it does.
The image would actually need to be wider than 1024px due to the wallpaper scrolling. If you used an image 1024x1024 it would need to be stretched out to something like 1600x1024 (only a guess) to account for the area of image to left and right of the middle home screen.
EDIT: I'm talking about the standard wallpaper not the live wallpaper app.

I have not got my GPAD with me so I cannot check but I suggest you find the default wallpapers and see what size they are. And place your wallpeprs in that directory.
I beleive the crop tools in gallery etc are not the correct aspect ratio for this tablet.
similiar question.. i read wallpapers should have 1024x600.. then i made some of my own. NOW i cant apply them. Stupid androind always asks me to crop them, so they look horrible. Dont know how to apply a simple wallpaper. Anoying...
A few of us with Advent Vega's have had the same issue,
I did some testing and experimenting with Launcher Pro, and at least have a definitive understanding of what you need to get 1:1 pixel perfect wallpapers..
THIS IS ONLY FOR LAUNCHER PRO!!!! I think other launchers like ADW use different wallpaper algorithms..
*Firstly, no matter what, you need to use programs like "Wall Switch" available on the Market, or "Wallpaper Chooser" (I got this via app brain), these inject the wall papers without resampling and ruining the image.*
The native resolution of the wallpapers should be 1200 x 1024 (W x H), It depends on orientation as to which part of the image will be used, but basically using this overlay I produced (Attached), you can see which portion of the image is displayed in the middle launcher screen, when you scroll to the other screens, it will just shift the image left/right to the full extents of the image width, so in Portrait, you get a lot of scroll, in Landscape, not so much!
You can use image sizes larger then 1200x1024, as long as you keep the aspect ratio the same..
I believe for ADW, the wallpaper size is different, over on "vega.modaco.com" you can see a similar thread about ADW wallpapers, I added the LP info in there as some people where using LP over ADW.
after a little more googling...Multipicture Live Wallpaper turned out to be great... the only one, after tested quite a few, that works, and we even get an extra if we want to change wallpaper often...

Yep. I got it here on xda.
Woks perfectly.
Ok, so I picked an Atrix 2 when I jumped ship from Sprint, and I have a question about making custom wallpapers for this device. If I remember correctly, having a qHD screen means the wallpaper size is 1080x960, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like to create a custom static wallpaper out of smaller images so that when I change screens between the five available each picture is different. I can't seem to find the right resolution balance to make it happen, so I thought I'd see if anyone can point me in the right direction. I was under the assumption that if I used 216x960 pictures that it would work, but I'm having issues. Thanks in advance.
The resolution on the atrix2 is 540x960.
I'm aware of that, but if you pull a default wallpaper, you'll find it's 1080x960. I think I may have found the answer though. Apparently Android doesn't allow for separate wallpapers on each home screen using the default launcher. Only way I can find is using an app on the market. Kind of a clunky way to do it, but it's working so far.
Hi there,
I'm looking for a default Live Wallpaper which existed on older android phones (such as the Samsung Galaxy S1, I believe) to use on my HTC One (M7).
Its title/description was: "Galaxy: A galaxy made of slowly swirling stars"
The Wallpaper consisted of a little white dots (symbolizing stars, obviously) revolving around a 'black hole' on a black background. When you switched homescreens, the camera perspective of the galaxy would shift slightly with each transition (the main attractive feature of this particular galaxy wallpaper for me).
I've found no videos of it activated, closest was one where it was simply listed in the options. I can't share the link since I'm a new user, but the title is "Samsung Galaxy S live wallpapers on Nexus One".
After searching various forums, the closest I came was one Wallpaper which is very close to the original, but it has no transition animations and is a bit too far zoomed out. It apparently came from a custom ROM. Again, can't share the link, but it was on androidforums and was downloadable as "galaxy4.apk"
Does anyone have any idea as to where I can find this old default wallpaper online?
Otherwise, would I be able to request someone to extract from their device, if it has it of course, and compile it so that I and anyone else with the same request can use it on their devices?
Thank you!
