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 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,
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.
Is this a new feature of the newer GB releases? I'm running dman's stock tweaked ROM over Entopy's 4.4.12 Kernel. I seem to remember them scrolling before. I have the home screens scrolling over a picture that doesn't change to show more of the picture whether going left or right like it used to.
Normal? I think it is. It sucks, as it's hard to "setup" or crop a picture correctly using Gallery to get it to come out right.
Thanks for tolerating newbness.
Idk but switch launchers if it's bugging you...
No scrolling is part of TW I think... at least on the note it is...
Switched launchers and solved my problem

Yeah, unfortunately, wallpaper doesn't scroll by default in UCLB3 Gingerbread. That can be fixed by using the TW3 launcher from an earlier release that still had wallpaper scrolling, or by using another launcher.
Thanks guys.
I'll track down another launcher. Recommendations?

Any one knows how to use a full picture!?

The dimensions of the image have to be 1920x1408, and even then it'll get cropped vertically a little bit.

It's actually 1920x1280 in ICS.
What I do is just get a 1280x800 wallpaper and increase the canvas size to 1920*1280 with Photoshop and disable wallpaper scrolling & rotation in my launcher. That way nothing gets cropped at all.
Nope. It's 1920x1408. Trust me. I searched long and hard. And if you find a wallpaper site with Android tablet wallpapers for 1280x800 screens, its real dimensions are 1920x1408.
Seriously, get a wallpaper in 1920x1408, and you'll see that you'll crop it a lot less.
Ok thanks guys

hm really? I thought since when you go to the wallpaper crop in ICS theres no bars above and below the portrait view that it would be 1280. Guess I'll give it a shot.

Don't forget that the wallpaper has to scroll in both landscape and portrait mode. It requires a lot of extra wallpaper real estate.
When reading through the forums using Dolphin browser I have a weird display issue. The text in the posts gets real faint like the opposite of bold but really light. Instead of the text black its like a light grey. No where to change this. Ideas?

I had this on stock browser ages ago. I fixed it by reverting to the 2010 theme on xda. Other themes seem to be overlaying something on top.
How do you revert to 2010?

Go to the bottom left of any page on xda, there you can choose you desired theme.
Had this weird thing also but figured it out myself:good:

Yeah, the new theme bugs out on essentially all browsers I've used thus far on the 700. Shame, because I must admit I do like the color palette. :highfive:
