40ish nice walls.
Why 960x800?
"The homescreen is 800 pixels in length and 480 pixels wide. The thing is, as you swipe between the 6 other panels, the wallpaper shifts a tad bit so you need to compensate for that. 960 pixels wide should be what all 7 panels are from end to end, not just the home panel."

I'm working on uploading them, they arn't the resized ones though, full sized.
-EDIT-
I lied, their resized, and there's over 1.1k
http://mrono.net/files/mobilewallpapers.zip

I think this will make a good wallpaper. It is a Solargram I made this winter/spring with a pinhole camera.
Hope you like it!
edit: I'm not sure what happened, it got scaled down to 959x799 somewhere. I'll try and fix it. (uh, yeah, lets try this again... disregard my ineptitude.)

Maybe I am doing something incorrectly, but when i attempt to take my image and select them as a wallpaper, it prompts me to crop the image and then its all stretched out and ugly on the home screen. can someone provide me with some help on this...thanks

I'm having the exact same issue, any one have any suggestions?
thanks!

When it prompted me to crop I just made the crop rectangle the size of the entire image. Then it just didn't crop anything off and looked fine.

Mine will only me to expand the box to a bit less then half the picture...so far ive tried playing with different picture sizes, but no joy. someone help, i feel like a window licker

Here are some i have
coming from the hero

I resized this picture i want as my wallpaper and even though I tried both sizes whenever I try to set it as wall paper it does a super enlarged zoomed in view as the wallpaper.

there's an app that will stretch the picture to go across all of the screens and use the full image.
does anyone know what this app is called?
I used to have it on my touch pro 2 with android.

WORKS GREAT!
thank you!!

here are a couple i've resized for personal use, but figured i'd post them in case anyone else has a similiar sense of style.
i'll keep posting more as i 'make' them, so if you like these, you'll probably like the rest i post.

all the wallpapers are zoomed in and i can only choose a small part of the picture am i doing something wrong?

I love that london bridge pic

Here are some that I use. I didn't create any of these images. They have been re-sized to 960x800

What do you mean? Remember the wallpapers stretch over all 7 screens of Sense. So you won't see the whole image on your screen at once.

Wallpapers?

I know you can make your own which I don't want to. Are there any fullsize Tab wallpapers (no live wallpapers) which I can download to my Tab and which I don't have to cut specially for the Homescreen before making it a wallpaper? Like the ones which come with 3rd party launchers)...
Thx.

Try "Flikie HD" from Market.

I don't wanna save pictures from the net, as you have to cut them. I said that, rapax.
@AnttiV: Thx, man. Exactly what I'm looking for. A HD Wallpaper app which doesn't use your data (contacts etc.).

The google search I linked to only returns images that already have exactly the right size. No cutting needed.

1 - Guys, flikkie is very nice, but what's the resolution of the pictures it has?
2 - I have a folder with 1024x600 wallapapers and if I try to use them, the gallery crops them, how can I install them? My tab is rooted.

I'm pretty certain you need 1200x1024. Scrolling left and right across the homescreens requires half a screens width to either side of the central screen. If you use a smaller image, what you're effectively doing is scaling it up and then cropping. You end up using a scaled up version of a 703(?)x600 section of your image.

1200x1024?? Where the hell are we going to find wallpapers in that res???
Did you try that?

There may be some different rules on size here since the entire UI supports portrait and landscape. If the rule for a panning static wallpaper is in fact double resolution, then you would need images in 2048x1024 reslolution so that the panning still works correctly in landscape as well.
EDIT: Nope, 1200x1024 appears to be what it prefers to use uses either way, the interface simply scales down the panning percentage when in portrait. Just make sure the subject of the photo is no more than half of the height of the full image or it may look a little funny in portrait.

Flikkie HD's wallapapers aren't so "HD", they look worse than my 1024x600 ones, but they work FINE.
Sigh..someone has to tell us for sure, I can't find any info on that.

Rapax was RIGHT. I checked the default wallapaper found at root / system / wallapaper / default wallpaper and it has the weird...1200x1024 resolution....damn...
@ Beestee - I just saw your edit. Yep..1200x1024 it is...

That explains a lot, thx. I always wondered.
To me the Flikie Wallpapers look good. It's not perfect, but good.
@rapax: Ah, ok thx. I thought because of the different resolution (compared to the display resolution) I had to crop them too. Will try it these days with these wallpaper size!

PROBLEM guys. Even if you try to choose a 1200x1024 wallpaper, it STILL CROPS IT.
The only method that works now is using the Flikkie HD app....
I reckon the only way to use them without being cropped would be to install them in the wallpaper folder.. ( launcher.apk ? )
But if you do that, wouldn't you need a cooked rom? It seems to me the phone would crash if you put any more walls in there..

Hi
I had the same problemes with croppy wallpapers so I wrote a small app to set an wallpaper on the galaxy tab. With this app they won't get scaled or cropped. Start the app, select Wallpaper wait and you have a perfect wallpaper Just be sure that the wallpaper is in the right size.
Have fun
Added some nice wallpapers with the right size.

Thanks hateman
Guys, just checked the Flikkie HD wallpapers : 960x854
EDIT: Flikkie HD will set the wallapaper even if it has a higher res. Just put a 1280x1024 wallpaper in Flikkie's folder and it worked just fine

What a great little tool to avoid bad wallpaper compression! Works very nicely, thanks for your generosity!

Preciate Ya hateman....really do

Yeah, works fine, thanks a lot!

Here is a collection of my wallpaper 1200x1024. Hope you will like them.

Hateman is the MAN! That app kicks butt! Now i can load my Sprint wallpapers to my Verizon Tab correctly!

How to get a high res wallpaper

For some reason, no matter the resolution of the image I select for my wallpaper, it seems as if the tablet just zooms in on one part of the image and stretches it out. I have also tried selecting the largest section the gallery will allow, but it still just looks pixelated with a huge loss in background quality. Anyone have solutions?

HI Res Wallpaper
Download "Multi picture live wallpaper" from the market. Will solve your problem.

It's not showing up on the market for some reason. Do you happen to have the apk? Thanks

Here you go.

thanks man. I will give it a try

Might sound like a n00b question, but how to you go about installing this app? I unzipped the folder but there is no .apk file, and I tried installing the zip using CWM but still no results...

I opened the zip with astro. Apk was definitely there.
Once its installed you should find it under live wallpapers. Its not a seperate app.
Thanx to rapcon for the suggestion and upload.

Yup I kinda figured it out now, lol, I was using the iFile Manager that came with TnT Lite, but I guess its not as good as Astro, thanks

Thanks for the recommendation.
Is there another way to create wallpapers and set them so that they show up with better resolution?
I expect that there is a preferred size and file-type that android prefers. For example, the vegan-tab default wallpapers always look centered and clear, but when I set a .jpg file to be the wallpaper, I only see one top corner of the image.
Robeet had recommended 1024x1024 in the past, but that didn't work for me.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks for the app, but unfortunately it seems to assume 7 horizontal screens. Sweeter Home uses 5 screens arranged in a '+' shape, so it looks fine on the main screen but the left and right screens don't display anything.

Thanks for the app post. I too have been struggling to figure out how to get high def wallpapers to work. I use launcher pro, 5 screen and have the settings configured to allow wallpaper scrolling. When I enable multi screen live walpaper, it still doesn't show the image as high of def as it should.
For example, I went to interfacelift and downloaded a 1024x600 nature image. When viewed in the browser (stock), it looks quite good. Very sharp and crisp. However, when I save this image to the sdcard, and set it up as the wallpaper in multi screen, it gets all blurry and looses definition. I've gone through all 3 settings of "crop/resize ratio" and none produce the same high def image as I see in the browser.
Is anyone else having similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next? I guess I should switch back to the stock launcher just to see what it does.

The image would actually need to be wider than 1024px due to the wallpaper scrolling. If you used an image 1024x1024 it would need to be stretched out to something like 1600x1024 (only a guess) to account for the area of image to left and right of the middle home screen.
EDIT: I'm talking about the standard wallpaper not the live wallpaper app.

Wallpaper
I have not got my GPAD with me so I cannot check but I suggest you find the default wallpapers and see what size they are. And place your wallpeprs in that directory.
I beleive the crop tools in gallery etc are not the correct aspect ratio for this tablet.

similiar question.. i read wallpapers should have 1024x600.. then i made some of my own. NOW i cant apply them. Stupid androind always asks me to crop them, so they look horrible. Dont know how to apply a simple wallpaper. Anoying...

A few of us with Advent Vega's have had the same issue,
I did some testing and experimenting with Launcher Pro, and at least have a definitive understanding of what you need to get 1:1 pixel perfect wallpapers..
THIS IS ONLY FOR LAUNCHER PRO!!!! I think other launchers like ADW use different wallpaper algorithms..
*Firstly, no matter what, you need to use programs like "Wall Switch" available on the Market, or "Wallpaper Chooser" (I got this via app brain), these inject the wall papers without resampling and ruining the image.*
The native resolution of the wallpapers should be 1200 x 1024 (W x H), It depends on orientation as to which part of the image will be used, but basically using this overlay I produced (Attached), you can see which portion of the image is displayed in the middle launcher screen, when you scroll to the other screens, it will just shift the image left/right to the full extents of the image width, so in Portrait, you get a lot of scroll, in Landscape, not so much!
You can use image sizes larger then 1200x1024, as long as you keep the aspect ratio the same..
I believe for ADW, the wallpaper size is different, over on "vega.modaco.com" you can see a similar thread about ADW wallpapers, I added the LP info in there as some people where using LP over ADW.

after a little more googling...Multipicture Live Wallpaper turned out to be great... the only one, after tested quite a few, that works, and we even get an extra if we want to change wallpaper often...

new to Xoom...question about wallpaper sharpnesss

hey guys. we just got a Xoom for my wife and are having a blast so far. i know we're coming in late in the game.
I did a lot of searching and have come up with all sorts of answers as to what is the proper resolution for the wallpaper.
I don't care too much about the perfect format to include all of my image in the wallpaper...what I care about is once I choose an image for the wallpaper, that it look sharp and detailed and not blurry or full of artifacts because honeycomb is stretching the image.
no matter what size image i've tried this far, 99% of the time what ends up actually shown as my wallpaper is a zoomed in portion of my image, and because of the stretching to fit the screen it doesn't look too good.
your input is appreciated. likewise if there is anywhere to just go and get Xoom-sized decent wallpapers I would appreciate a link too
thanks!

Same for me! Whatever resolution, big or small, it just wants me to crop the image, I tried searching for this for a while but I came up with no solution. Hopefully someone here knows.
EDIT: TRY Wallpaper Wizardrii

If you click on the little + icon at the top right of the screen, you see the entire wallpaper. It zooms the wallpaper and i dont know why it was implemented in such a demented way. Everything you put ends up looking low res and washed out. There is a guide that shows how to add a black bar to the bottom portion of a wallpaper so it fits the screen properly and looks sharp, but this doesnt work well in portrait.
Check it out here: http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-graphics/320-getting-wallpapers-fit-just-right.html
Also see this app on the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii
I heard this app works well.

Hmm! I have the same problem but with movies... They look unsharp a little bit...also on the youtube app even in hd...

Wallpaper placement on Lollipop update ?

Hello,
Here goes my trouble, I want to create a new wallpaper for my Note Pro with the new Lollipop update. In the past, all you had to do it to create a 2560x2560 picture and place what you wanted on the middle. But now it doesn't work, if you put a square picture, when you set a picture as wallpaper, android do a strange rotated version... ruining all the work. With the default wallpapers there's no worries but here, I don't get why or how to do that, why did they change that seriously ? all my past wallpaper doesn't work anymore (and no I didn't root it, I don't want to lose warranty).
Can someone help me or give me a correct canvas ?
Thanks !

Try resizing photos or picture to 2560x1600. That's the native resolution of the screen.

I will try multiple things, but it shows a vertical grid even if I'm on horizontal mode...
Edit : Ok, it's just a glitch, the grid shown when you place your wallpaper is wrong, try to make a 2560x2560 picture with what you want centered work like in the KitKat version...
