Can you not just save the file and convert to jpg if required?

Exactly. Just download the pic and put it into your phone. Choose the file in your wallpapers settings and you are done. An icon is just a smaller version of a picture, it's not any different from a normal wallpaper file.

But I'm afraid that there will be a lot of pixel

up

not sure what the problem is. Download the image. Its already in png format(which is good since it supports transparency, and is optimal for icons)
Then use a launcher like apex or nova to change the icon of your desired app to the one you downloaded. Also its 96x96 pixels so nothing needs to be resized.

I want to use the picture as a wallpaper. But I can't find the wallpaper that's why I would like to know if I can take the icon and transform it in wallpaper with no pixels.

well...

It is physically impossible to stretch this small image without it ending up being distorted by the small number of original pixels in the picture. I am sorry, but you are going to have to use an image like this:
(Argh, still no outside links, so the link looks like this
http:/ /img.wallbeam. com/63processed/dandelion-green-feathers.jpg
Hope you like this one just as much!

I can't open the link but I understand what you mean. I just hoped that maybe a software manages to do that. I give up !

You can't open the link because I put some "spaces" in there so I could post it here. xda does not allow new members to post outside links, only if they have over 10 posts on the forums. so just copy the link and look for the 2 or 3 spaces I put in there, delete them and look at the picture, because I think I found something really close to what you are looking for!
And there is no software that manages to do that. There is a feature on Photoshop or similar software that I know of that is able to reduce pixelation although it is not as good as you might think and it definitely can't make a small picture like this into a usable wallpaper...

Yes I forgot a space ! It's closed but not the same. Thank you for your help

Setting a Wallpaper-PLZ HELP ME LOL

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!

OMG THANK YOU! I lost this freaking wallpaper night before last due to xtreme fatigue from a long rooting/flashing/tinkering session. Seriously, I have worn my eyes out digging for it all over the web since! You are so kind to take the time to extract & post this for all of us who want it for some esoteric reason...mostly just because we couldn't find it it becomes a massive pique!
You are the ruler elite to me!

Found great app in Android Market that lets you load the total picture without cropping or any way you want it into your screen, app is called 'Wallpaper Wizardrii'
Brown images & link
Is this the one(attached), I used Google image search but just got the advertisement links, will keep digging...just found update, another brown image & a link to pretty complete HTC wallpaper site for all HTC phones, you click on the images to view larger, then when your mouse pointer is a + sign, click again to get t he maximum resolution & save image to your PC, then can email it to yourself & open in phone & save to your photo gallery or where you want so you can select as wallpaper, I load the full largest resolution & then use the Android Market app 'Wallpaper Wizardrii' to set it as wallpaper with no crop, looks great(see my attached pic of my phone

Thanks
Is was searching for this one!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! Been looking for weeks online!

How do I set these as my wallpaper?

http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/any/
I select the correct resolution (960x800) and try to set it as wallpaper or save the image and then set it as wallpaper that way but everytime the cropping tool pops up. How do I do it without the cropping tool?
You'll always get the cropping tool - just drag it to the full size and set it. Easy

The biggest it will go only gets like a fourth of the picture. I'm on the correct resolution too so I don't know what's going on.
I assume you know you can drag the window to make it larger/smaller?

When cropping tool pops up dont do anything but center it. Then it will work.

Yeah it doesn't go much bigger though. I'm really confused. If I'm selecting the right resolution on that site it should fit the whole thing shouldn't it?
It should so double-check the resolution of the picture you've downloaded

I'm only getting a small portion of the picture then. Can someone try that site and see if maybe the resolution on the site is wrong. I'm trying the first picture, the big tree.

You might want to resize then. The Sensation is 960x540 , not 960x800.
That's just for a single home screen - wallpaper is wider to accommodate the movement of Sense across the screens

How do I make it so the wallpaper slides with the homescreens?

how to make a wallpaper fit

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
.png's are the only ones that work properly.

Not true. I have all jpg's and they display perfectly.

[Q] Live wallpaper size

As you can see, the live wallpaper I am using is not scaling correctly. Is there anywhere to fix this myself or do I need to wait for the dev to actually respond??
