Hi,
i've got tones of wallpaper, most of them from this forum (even wallpapers hd packs), but what's the easiest and correct way to put a wallpaper that looks good?
that thing with selecting a small area from the big picture instead of using the beautiful picture im viewing, causes my transformer to show some ugly pixelized picture...
i dont mind that i will have the exact same picture on any home screen instead of this long scrolling all over my screens.
i just cant stay with the those asus default wallpapers that by the way are the only ones that i can see ok.
thanks.
I actually didn't knew that there is another way... I'll be glad to hear it... thanks...

Try MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and it won't butcher it like the stock wallpaper placer does.
Thanks!!!! I'ts perfect!!!!

amazing!
well, it worked!
but now....if i may ask...
what's the best way to put only one picture (like in the stock wallpaper) that can be scrolled for all over my home screens.
now its working perfectly with the same pic in each home screen or different pictures.
and thanks!
Glad it worked out for you guys.
Thnx was looking for this as wel. Still finding new thing I would like ot change about the way things work but this is again a good step in the direction.

I use wallpaper Casa, and sometimes HD wallpapers to set wallpapers on my cappy,but those walls seem really washed out and grainy on the transformer. Ne1 know of any honeycomb compatible wall paper app yet?

I noticed that the stock wallpaper is VERY CRISP...and most of my efforts and finding wallpaper that looks as good has been unsuccessful.
Also guys other than the extra walls pack posted earlier,I never found anything else related to tf walls

You should use the suggested above or 2560 x 1600. It works well. try picturecasa app, it's not that bad but the website version has more links.

I've been using 2560 images and none are as crisp as the stock "tree" wallpaper...
AFAIK, Honeycomb uses 1920x1280 images. The extra width is so it has enough room to shift the image when you change screens, and the height so that there's room to zoom the image out when you open the app folder, or widget srceen or whatever.
even when i use the suggested wallpaper dimensions none of the wallpapers ever look as good on the homescreen as they do on the browser... which makes no sense.
get the "wallpaper wizzardi" app. Its a bit buggy but it will take ANY image size, res, etc and make it look amazing on the TF.
Sometimes it gets black bars on the screen but all you do is switch it to landscape/horizontal and it will go back. Its really nice. Still buggy but nice.
i use wallpaper set and save with very large images that i find at wallbase.cc (at least 2560 x 1600) and i've got pretty crisp background images.
I use Flikie Wallpaper app, it auto sizes them for me and you get to pick from a bunch online, its worth it, great app
Guys check out this new app. Tablet wallpapers. Seems 2 b specifically for honeycomb.

I'm trying to find the perfect dimensions to use so that Honeycomb's crop box will fill the entire picture, and none of the suggested sizes have worked. Interesting...

Didn't see it on the market or a google search....got a link?
Hi,
Anyone came across apps to automatically change wallpaper when the phone is being charged/usb?
I tried tasker, but it doesn't support 'live' wallpaper, it only do standard wallpaper.
Purpose: I like to keep my screen on while charging, but I don't want to get screen burn so live wallpaper would be ideal; also it looks nice having live wallpaper while the phone is docked, it'll make the apple fanboys around my desk jealous .
PS: tried google with no luck; so if you can point me to an apps/hack let me know.
cheers
Me interested too.

Hi all,
Didn't see a wallpaper thread for our qHD Sensations, so I thought I'd start one. First off, a wall that I just downloaded from the Atrix 4G that I think looks fantastic on the Sensation (better than HTC's walls, IMO).
Keep the wallpapers to a minimum of 540x960, please. 1080x960 for those who aren't using Sense.
I go with my tried & true fluorescence from Digital Blasphemy or just about any wallpaper from that site

Here's mine...

That's exactly the wall that I had on my PC when I met my wife...she asked if I was a stoner (it would make more sense if she asked if I did shrooms, hah).
This site has some pretty good wallpapers, you just have to crop it a little since they are for the iPhone.
Made this for myself , just love how dock and not-bar blend with it.
Great thread!
Was just looking for a thread like this so thanks for starting one!
Here is one of my favorites in both 540x960 and 1080x960.

I always use the XDA app. Not sure if a long press can immitate a right click on the device, but give it a try. Otherwise, view the thread with the XDA app or transfer the wall to your device via USB.
Edit: Just tried it out, simply press the image, it will open the larger version, then long press and select save image.

thanks for the help. i had to open the image in a new window first as it kept disappearing for some reason.
thanks again
poolga.com/ and tseventy.com/ have some very cool and original wallpapers, they are for the iphones resolution but can be cropped to suit the sensation screen.
Sent from my nokia 3210
I always end up going back to this one. Looks great centered when using Sense.
Some more of my favorites. Resolution is a little smaller (was for my Vibrant), but they are high res enough to not be very noticeable if at all.
And more...
Last one for now...
just downloaded half of these walls thanks all! the HD Wallpapers app has some decent ones, but these are better
Here are some of the wallpapers I use, enjoy!
And some more.

So I was wondering if there was a way to get around the new wallpaper cropping that the transformer does since the 3.1 update. Its starting to get really annoying because I download a wallpaper or picture and I can't set the whole thing as the wallpaper. Thanks in advance
this is not really something you can avoid due to the the scrolling screens and variable screen orientation.

I knew there had to be one. I'm always on mobile and search on xda mobile is not very good. Lol
can somebody explain this wallpaper deal on the 1X, i find a cool one that according to specs has the correct size. save it to the phone --then i either add it as wallpaper via the Gallery or Personalize and it shows me the wallpaper, with a green square on it that i can slightly enlarge but still it only uses about a third of the entire image, on top of that.. quite a few look like crap (to put it blunt), very pixelated.. what am i missing here.
(related, yesterday i found how to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen but can;t find the setting anymore...)
Use quickpic from the market.

uhm... not quite the explanation i was hoping for ;] will this app allow me to set larger wallpapers ? someone else say it may be a Sense "feature".
Gotta use an app like the one above to make full res wallpapers. I think dodol wallpaper from the marketplace also works.

The "green square" just shows where the home screen will be. Sense has scrolling wallpaper, so you will still see the area to the left and right of the green square as you scroll left and right n sense.

understood, but it also cuts of the top and bottom while i used the right resolution which then makes (if it has something on the image...) pixelated, someone said it may just be Sense who causes that. i find it odd, i download the exact size and have to cut pieces.

Do not ask a question without first making peace with yourself and knowing what you are looking for. If you want to fix that, use quickpic app from the market. Of not, good luck making your own gallery app

thanks.

You do realise you can expand the green box and stretch it to the top and bottom of the image?

yes, i can resize but only so far, and the green box resizes proportional.
Guys, don't be so quick to jump on the op. Its pretty clear what he's trying to say. I know because I experienced it. I'm gonna take a guess and say ur using stock ROM? I had the same problem when I was in stock ROM, he green square only stretches so far, it does not encompass the entire image, therefore the image it sets as your wallpaper becomes stretched and therefore pixelated. I also tried to find ways around this op but I couldn't find any, well that is until I flashed another ROM. I can't quite remember I it worked when I ran cleanrom, but any aosp ROM will work like aokp and cm9/10. With these ROMs the green square stretches out to encompass the full image therefore giving you the right resolution for ur home screen. Other than that I know of no way around the problem. Flash an aosp ROM op, you will thank me for it later

The green box isn't supposed to stretch across the whole image. The green box represent one Sense tab, ie the homescreen. The area ot the left and right of the green box is still part of the wallpaper, when you scroll left and right through the Sense tabs.
I don't see the problem here?

Go to the picture u want to set as wallpaper click on options then go to set as and clicl on quickpoc wallpaper. What is there not to understand? I do not see any difficulties here
Well, just like Sense it shows a square which limits the use of the entire image, is that hard to.comprehend ?

Download picspeed wallpaper and try that out. It gives you different crop options, including non scrolling wallpaper.

i was using the clock lock-screen, to be able to use a different wallpaper on the lock-screen you must choose "wallpaper" instead of the clock lock screen.. can't have both i guess (#unrooted)
Myself I find pics in range of 1280x1440, that gives nice clear picture viewable over several scrolling screens.
Of course, Ymmv.
