I use Zedge. Kind of like the overall look of the app, and it also provides for some good ringtones.
Can you just download regular HD desktop wallpaper.
Copy them over to the tablet (put in the directory where wallpapers are stored) and use them that way?

I use PicSpeed Wallpapers on both tablet and phone.
I think the exact size for a full-res wallpaper on a tablet with 1280x800 resolution is 1920x1408, so use that res in your search criteria. The wallpapers have to be bigger than the screen resolution so they can scroll, and work in portrait mode.
+1 for Zedge. I use it on my phone and tablet. I get quite a few from the internet too. A search for HD wallpapers usually produces a few good wallpapaers when you are specific on what you want.

Best wallpaper site on the web: wallbase.cc/search
those apps are all useless (wallbase has one too by the way)
p.s. use "image 2 wallpaper" app on Google play to set the wallpapers as background...the default imageviewer "galery" is a horrible app.
I like http://digitalblasphemy.com/
Take a look at http://digitalblasphemy.com/ I have thought seriously about a subscription to have full access to the art there.

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...

use multipicture live wallpaper, available on the market, sets your wallpaper perfectly every time, no cropping needed

Has anyone discovered worthy backgrounds (like the defaults in ICS), or if a wallpaper rotator is compatible with ICS?

A little off topic but Ive been looking for an app that can set different wallpapers for portrail & landscape mode. But the only one I could find was Dual wallpaper which is a paid app on the market with bad feedback , anyone got anything else?
Any app out there that rotates live wallpapers?

I'm running ADWLauncher EX on my rooted stock. When I unlock it, it uses the background from the lock screen for that session. I think it's pretty cool, since I like the lock screen picks that come with the kindle.
Ok, I'm sure that it's not only me having this issue, but
I'm trying to install the CleanROM 3.0 Wallpaper and any time that I do, it crops it and turns all pixelated. I've noticed this with any wallpaper I try to set that's not a system wallpaper.. is there any way to fix this??
I'm currently Running CleanROM DE 3.1
but i've noticed this on pretty much every ROM i've ran
here is the wallpaper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27624455&postcount=24
I've actually spent yesterday figuring out how to do this in a super roundabout way.
I put the wallpapers I want into CleanROM 3.0 SE ROM itself. I edited the ROM zip file with 7-zip, inserted the background I wanted in the correct location and performed a full data wipe. Then I flashed it to the phone.
And walla, it works... I now have the 2 wallpapers I want in full resolution.
I'm sure there is an app that can put a full resolution wallpaper in your phone for you. I just never looked... lol
We had a similar problem with the HP Touchpad and a guy made an app on the play store to remedy it (here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5raGFubmluZy50cHdwYXBwbGllciJd)
Unfortunately it only works with the Touchpad's resolution, though if someone made an app to support our resolution then it would work fine.
Just resize it when you select the wallpaper. Touch the opposing corners on the crop box and drag to make it bigger.

I remember back when I first got my inspire and was using the sense launcher, i believe I used an app called wallpaper wizardii or something like that. Might be worth giving a shot.

I've been using Zedge to set my wallpaper. When I set it through the app, it doesn't seem to lose quality, but if I try setting it through Sense from the downloaded picture, it does lose some quality.
Look up "dodol wallpaper" in the playstore. I set some pretty damn high quality photos as my wallpaper. Always amazes people!
I use an app call wallpaper set and save. It will keep the resolution of the image you are setting as the wallpaper.
In Cyanogenmod, what resolution do you need for the wallpaper to fit the maximum border sizes?

Well, the Skyrocket has a screen resolution of 480 x 800, so an image with those dimensions should fill up your screen background perfectly. Is this what you were asking?
Somewhat. Whenever I try and use a wallpaper it shows the landscape and portrait view borders and I can never get it to go over that. Is there a way to get around that or am I stuck with it?

In a program like MS Paint you can make a large image (any color, black would probly be best), then paste the image you want as your wallpaper in the center.
Maybe make the new image that is 1440x2400 and just paste the wallpaper dead center. Thats what I did for the tablet I used to have an it worked pretty well.
If you have an OS other than windows I'd use Gimp.
Thanks! Never thought of that. Wish there was a much lazier way lol.

There's an app called Wallpaper Wizardrii that can do what you are looking for. It has tons of scaling options.
