I just put my order in for a TF700 (via newegg) and would like to start making wallpapers to use on it. I've read that you can't just take a 1920 x 1200 image and use that, because when you set up the new wallpaper it will get cropped and the quality will get reduced. Does anybody have a template for this or know how large the image should be? I have experience with Photoshop so resizing or editing won't be a problem.
Try Wallpaper Wizardrii app.
Thanks, I'll try that one. I've also heard that Multipicture Live Wallpaper works too. I just thought I'd see if there was anything I could do myself in Photoshop before the device gets here.

That seems like an interesting live wallpaper, I might want to look into that. I thought I saw something like that built into a Lenovo tablet at some point.
If you're using the default launcher, you need a 1920*1920 image for true native resolution in both landscape and portrait (the corners get cropped).

Can anyone tell me how i can set a background image on the gtab without the image always needing to be cropped. It seems that every image that i try to set as the wallpaper ends up being zoomed in or needs to be cropped.
Now i understand this to be same on all android devices as it is on my EVO4g.
I guess i am trying to find a way to post a wallpaper that is already formated for the gtab screen to utilize the full image in the entire screen as opposed to having to crop the image and end up with a zoomed in wallpaper..
God I hope this made sense lol
THANKS FOR ANY INPUT!
Look for Multi Picture Live Wallpaper on the Market.
thanks a bunch!

Just got the TF, love it to bits.
Sounds a bit daft but how do you make a wallpaper fit??? I've download a few that look really when seen on other TF's but when I select it on mine you get that box to adjust then the image seems blown up and looks rubbish given its resolution!
Not sure if it matters but running 3.2 stock, dont have root. Have tried wallpapers from here and 4walled and tried different size images.
Sorry if this has been answered a million times! i tried looking but searching the term 'wallpaper' on here = nightmare!
cheers

wallpaper wizardrii is the only app that will help you. Its free on the market and its free. Simply choose the wallpaper and select the option scrollable for best results.
Note:
This still crops images slightly, but is far. far better than setting wallpaper via gallery.
Give me thanks if this helped you out. I use it all the time
I've used it, very nice app, but still the quality is not that good.
can u give me some wallpaper to test it?
think i've got it sorted. using multi live wallpaper and it works spot on.
just cant get it to display a different pic per screen as it probably should

Just go into Multi setting, add individual setting (depend how many screen you have) on each setting you go in and choose folder picture (you should create a folder for each screen) and choose the path.
hope that helps

Have you looked at Wallbase because they have a lot of everything including gaming wallpaper, you just have to know how to search for it.
I second that, wallbase is great.

If you are using the stock browser you can long press on an image and select "set as wallpaper". It will auto crop if necessary, the result is just as good as if you cropped manually or sometimes even better.

There is an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and it will crop very little of your image and most of the image should show. It's very useful and a lot of the forum members here use it.
Rooted my Fire and installed CM7. I am trying to install wallpaper but i cant get the size figured out. When i go to set the jpg as the wallpaper it is making me draw a box around an area and the box is smaller than the jpg. The wallpapers that come with CM7 work and look great, but i cant figure out the size of the screen for wallpapers i want to make. Thanks
Something like 960x800 (default Zedge wallpapers size) worked for me.
Take a look on that pack.
Around 40 wallpapers from there, simply chosen by me.

can you get the zedge app on the amazon app market?
Can't tell you, I'm on CM7.
Try simply search for "Zedge" or if you can't get it through Amazon, try to sideload it. Apk for you is right here.
The app is free, so nothing criminal, I think.
It looks like the wallpaper size is actually 1024x600
I'm having an issue installing wallpapers. I'm trying to pull them from my gallery but it keeps re-sizing.
Is there some trick to keeping the original size?

This appears to be the same problem i am having. The gallery is making me re-size the pic.
Same thing for me it forces me to resize and the quality turns to crap
No luck. I tried .jgp and .png files. Tried all kinds of different sizes and it still makes me crop it......
Have this problem with Gallery too.
Only option now for me is 960x800, at least looking not so low-res.
I tend to stick to very simple Live Wallpapers or none at all due to how fugly any image file tends to look
anyone come up with a solution to this problem yet?
this stupid problem ... I too annoying.
I just set wallpapers through PicSpeed Wallpapers. When it asks you to resize, pick the portrait box and it looks good

If you search google for a wallpaper that is 2048x1600 or something huge like that and use it on CM7 it works out looking great, at least it did for me.

You can do this with WallBase. make sure whatever wallpapers you want(whether they be from your pc or downloaded on to your Kindle) are in the "saved" folder of the "WallBase" folder. You don't even have to resize it. It also keeps all the images high res.
Hi!
I've got a Motorola Xoom, and I'm trying to personalize it a bit, but when it comes to setting the wallpaper I want I'm stuck.
Apparently some design-genious at Google found out that you have to crop your wallpaper so it fits both in landscape- and portrait-view. Doesn't actually sound too bad, but when you realize what resolution the wallpapers need to be; it starts getting utterly stupid. In order to make the wallpaper fit perfectly into the crop-frame it has to be 1920 x 1408px. That means that i have to crop all my 16:10 wallpapers quite a bit in order to make them fit.
What I actually want is a fixed wallpaper. I want a wallpaper that fits in landscape-view (1280 x 800px) and doesn't move when scrolling through the home-screens.
Is this possible?

Maybe I can give you some ideas. First a disclaimer: I'm running ICS and using Trebuchet launcher, and I add my custom wallpapers to the Trebuchet launcher before compiling it myself. I like to have the fancy wallpaper selection screen with my custom wallpapers, so I don't know how this would turn out if you just selected a wallpaper from the sd card and used that annoying crop screen to select a wallpaper. Anyhow, with that out of the way, this is how I do what you describe using a photo editor such as GIMP. Maybe you can adapt this to your situation:
1. Resize the original wallpaper to 1920x1408
2. Add solid black background layer of same size (1920x1408)
3. Resize the foreground picture layer to 1280x800 and save
4. Using Trebuchet launcher, disable wallpaper scrolling
That gives me the entire photo inside one screen without scrolling (landscape mode only). When in portait I have black bars on top and bottom. I'll attach an example. Maybe you can adapt this somehow because I'm not sure how it would work with the wallpaper picker that makes you crop the photo.
That is actually the best solution I've seen so far, but I still feel it is a little too much hassle for something that really should be easy to do.
Thanks for your help!
I think, unfortunately, the most common fix to this issue is to install Multi Picture Live Wallpaper (free in the market).
You can set the picture as the source image and you'll want to disable vertical sync I think it is..
Unfortunately the cropping issue blows and we have to go elsewhere to fix it.
Multi Picture Live Wallpaper is an okay solution, but it is kind of buggy. When changing to portrait-view and back to landscape-view the wallpaper gets zoomed.
After checking the Android bug-tracker I found that there were several people with the same problem, and I added a comment. I suggest that everyone else who is bothered by this, does the same.

I just tried QuickPic and it works great, no cropping necessary, but it leaves you the option to do it if you so choose.
Thanks!!

I am using HTC One V and I tried using quickpic but it doesn't work for me as mentioned above I used option "Set as quickpic wallpaper" and still shows me frame to crop and it doesnt stretch to entire screen. Anybody else faced this problem? Please help. Its annoying that HTC is forcing crop to set image as wallpaper. I downloaded HD 480x800 resolution wallpapers to go with my screen resolution and it still doesn't work
What a great idea though....quick pic def crops but if you put an extension on the photo you could get the whole photo in the crop
How would one do that? Or if someone can make an app...

I've tried this on kindle fire and transformer prime and my wallpaper always resets back to default crop after I go from landscape to portrait, or when I reboot. Any fixes for that?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
I'm not the creator of the app. I don't own a kindle fire to try it out so I'm not sure why that is happening or how to fix it.
As for the transformer... not sure either. I use that app on the tf01 transformer without any issues.
I have also used it on the xoom as well without a problem.
Both of those devices are running ICS ROMS with a custom kernel.
Maybe it's just my launcher then as I use nova prime on both devices

That would make sense. I don't use nova.
