Jenn from StreakSmart.com wrote up an interesting post about how to set a wallpaper without having to crop it on the Streak.
Normally for any 800x480 resolution phone all you do is create a 800x480 wallpaper, go figure. But for the Streak if you tried to set an image with that resolution as the wallpaper, it will make you crop it.
Instead just create a 800x444px image (to compensate for the 36px notification bar) and your good to go.

AWESOME! Me not owning a Streak yet, the first thing I was going to do is try and obtain the parrallax effect. Just like your startup screen post, thanks so much!
2.1 crappy update
I think there should be a guide for the 2.1 OS
Its driving me crazy. the 1.6 was awesome and the icons also fitted nicely. since the 2.1 update it lags abit and there is less space for icons have huge gaps!
i tried to set the same wallpaper (hindu god) i used on 1.6 on 2.1 and the image is enlarged.
(see below) and now all im getting is the head of the shiva and it is zoomed in soooo much. I tried Vlauncher, ahome, launcherpro, Helix and its the same on all of them....
please is there a way i can set the full size picture on the dell? or should i downgrade back to 1.6? lol..
Also, i loved the different tabbed backgrounds. theres only one big one now
would appreciate if there was a way to have the icons without big gaps.
Thanks in advance..
The wallpaper image size for 2.1 is 1000 x 400, a ratio of 2.5 to 1 so you need to make or find an image that will work with those dimensions.
If you install ADWLauncher you can have up to 8 icons per row/column and various other improvements over the stock launcher too.
Troute,
sorry mate you lost me
if i resized that image to 1000 x 400 would it work properly? or how do i go about it?
Ta
No resizing it wouldn't work it would just stretch the statue very wide. You will need to fine another picture that is 2.5 times longer than it is high, or one that you can crop to fit and not lose the detail you want.
Troute,
2000 x 800 is that what you mean? lol.. could you post a image another one? and i can use it as a template. which os have you got? I hope 2.2 supports wallpapers the old way. I mean i dont use Live wallpapers drains batteries so much prefer 1.6
2.5 to 1 is 1250x500 or 1000x400 or 2000x800 or 1600x640 or... any image that is 2.5 times wider than it is high or can be cropped (edges cut off) to match that ratio without you losing the bits you want. Whatever image you find ultimately has to be resized to 1000 by 400 to fit the dell properly.
Here's a 1000 - 400 to mess with,
if i try this with ADW it just zooms into this which isn't much use on a streak!
ok ta.. i will try this when i get home and the ADWlauncher thanks again Troute and checkbox
---
ADW damnit lol.. hmm what size do u use checkbox? same as troute?
Doesn't it depend how many homescreens you are using? I only use 3 so would require a much thinner wallpaper...correct?

Hooooollld everything! yes it does. I've just tried a 1000x400 image using adw and 5 screens and it's totally different. Desibuoy load ADWLauncher first and try your Indian image, you might find it's ok. I'm using the live grass wallpaper and hadn't noticed.
Tried several sizes here 800x400 900x400 and 1000x400 but none of them work. It just selects a small square of it . Any ideas?

yep i agree. I did what you said troute and all i got is the head of the statue. so then i installed ADWlauncher like you said. and same thing so i install the mac os theme with the pink purple bankground and this is the screenshot of it. See if you can help
Thanks
Question - When you choose the statue pic as your wallpaper do you see the orange? box and do you know you can move and stretch that box to fit over the picture better?
/edit I've just tried that with your image and I can get it all in without a problem (using ADW)
Yeah but it doesnt go over the full wallpaper...
I know I posted this answer a second ago but it's gone.
mancterrier if the box won't fit your image then your image is too big, the box can only be expanded in the right proportions to fit the screen.

Searched through a couple of threads on getting the wallpapers to show up properly but wasn't able to find a definite solution and after spending a couple hours trying to figure it out here it is:
This will allow the wallpaper to span all 5 screens of ADW launcher (or any other launcher I would imagine) without pixelating or distorting.
Create a background that is 1200x1024 and in PNG format (I used PNG 24bit since that is what the stock wallpapers are at) and put the picture in the My Files\Wallpapers folder on your device memory.
Go to the Nook settings>Home>Set Wallpaper and select the wallpaper you want to use form the "Wallpaper" tab and not the "Photo Gallery" tab.
After applying the wallpaper go back to the home screen and you will have a nice clean background that spans all screens and isn't distorted.

resizing them to 1200x1024 and saving them in .png did the trick

The default wallpapers are 840x1024, but they aren't big enough to fill the multiple screens of ADW
What I did was turn the nook horizontally and set the wallpaper. Make sure you don't turn it over until the wallpaper is set. Once the wallpaper is set you can turn it back vertically and it should come out ok. This was the only way I could get the wallpaper to not be zoomed in.

Yeah, it does cut it off some, but not a big deal to me... the resolution is great, and it doesn't require photo resizing on a desktop. Depends how particular each person is about getting every inch of the image (I'd imagine this app would suffice for many).
I use Flikie Wallpapers HD which is free in the app store. Has many different types of wallpaper and they fit the screen perfectly regardless of if you're using one screen or seven screens.
Flickie wallpaper HD worked perfectly for me. I have been looking for an app like this. Thanks!
I got another solution.
But this only work with one wallpaper.
go to system/framework/
Look for framework_res.apk
Then use 7z to edit it.
Replace the default_wallpaper.png you'll get a better quality wallpaper.

Hey guys,
Thought we should start a wallpaper thread for the Nook... I just posted 413 of them to my Photobucket account...
http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb86/911jason/Tablet Wallpaper/?start=all
I recommend Wallpaper Set & Save to improve image quality on all of your Android Wallpapers, it's free!
For anyone wanting to create their own, the size should be 1200x1024.
I recommend World Tour. It doesn't have the sharpest images, but it's pulling pictures from live webcams around the world. I just set it to random and automatic update once an hour. It scales the images properly for the Nook. I've been using it on my G1 practically since I got the phone.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-jraf-android-latoureiffel-ACx.aspx
I use app called Backgrounds, takes photos from flickr and the aspect ratio / scaling seems ok.
I like the HD Rare Black Wallpapers. They show up sharper than most of the other "HD" background/wallpaper apps.
Good stuff. Might want to mention the image requirements. I believe they should be 1200 x 1024.
Nice collection.

SOLVED
Jason, Thanks so much for those beautiful photos you placed in your Photo Bucket for use on our NCs. I wonder if you can figure something out for me. Last week I downloaded about 14 of those photos to my pc and one way or another they made it to my NC. The neat things was, that they showed up in my Wallpaper as well as my photo gallery. Because they were in the wallpaper settings, I didn't have to do anything to them at all to get them on my home screen. They were perfect, full picture, wonderful resolution, and worked on the three home screen setting. I have no idea how I got them into that wallpaper section, darn it!
Since that time, my NC has gone through many restore-to-stock and nooters, etc. Now I'm back to 1.1 and auto-nooter v3. Everything is working well, but I can no longer find your pictures in the wallpaper section, only in the Picture gallery. The ones in the picture gallery are not the correct size and no matter what I do, I can't get them to work for me (I'm not very knowledgeable about Android, as you can probably tell.) Last week, when they were sitting in the wallpaper section, the pre-installed pictures from the Nook Color and even pictures of some of my book covers were also there. Do you have any idea how I might be able to get your pictures back into the wallpaper section? BTW - at the time they were working so beautifully, I was in 1.0.1 auto-nootered. Sorry for the long message, but I'm not having any success. I want them just the way they were last week! They were perfect!
TIA
Sue
nm - I figured out how to get them to my wallpaper. Thanks again,
Sue
So I used the Photobucket app and went into settings, checked hi res download option. Changed search to people in the dropdown. Searched for 911jason. Clicked a wallpaper, open menu click download, when it fails I selected set as wallpaper. Looks perfect on rooted 1.1 stock. Thanks!

Let's see if I can this right.
I downloaded the images I wanted from 911Jason's Photobucket and put them on my pc. Then connected my NC using the USB cable. I then navigated to the NC <MyNookColor> and then to <MyFiles> and then to <Wallpapers>. I did a drag and drop of the pictures I wanted into the Wallpapers Folder. FWIW - I first tried using "send to" from drop down menu and it didn't take. The drag and drop worked fine. (911Jason's pictures were perfect for me because they are the correct size and I don't know how to use the Wallpaper apps yet.)
Hope this helps.
Sue
Thanks, I'll try that out!
A good place to go scouting for wallpapers is hdrwallpapers.com. Here's my current NC background:
http://www.hdrwallpapers.com/the_tornado-wallpapers.html
--ex
Another good place to go for wallpapers is deviantart.com and search for the resolution you want (1200x1024). A ton of the wallpaper apps rip their images from this site.
I'm not sure I'm having the same problem as others, with the wallpaper. Maybe I am. But my wallpaper shows up very large. The actual size is 700 x 1000, when I check it in Photoshop. I received it as part of a skin from DecalGirl. I would think, given the size requirement of 600 x 1024 (for one screen), this would be pretty close to perfect. But whenever I set wallpaper, the image gets blown up. I've tried using a picture of my daughter (which is 2400 x 3000), and it gets blown up, too. Her face is huge.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Help?
Okay, just tried using Wallpaper Set & Save, as I've seen others suggest, and that changed nothing. It's still really huge.

Dude, oh my goodness!! These are the kind of wallpapers I have been looking everywhere for my Hero. These looks awesome on the nook. Gonna post a screenie in the other thread asap.
WallpaperCASA is an awesome app that has a big selection and is setup really well. I use this now for the nook and it works superbly.
Ok I been up and down these and other forums for a few days. I registered here a while back but never posted because I had no problems... But I searched... came close but no cigar. I downloaded Numerous wallpaper apps and played around with different ratios, But no matter what I do I always find myself forced to crop the background (if it doesn't crop it zooms the hell out of the picture). I'm I missing something I'm on a completely stock rooted 2.2... I'm at my wits end with this, so close to just saying screw it and finding a decent LWP... anyone care to lend a helping hand?
Edit* Most of the stuff I find applies to portrait mode.. I use Landscape mode 99% of the time
in landscape the resolution should be 960x480
in portrait 960x800
Umm...no.
Wallpaper images, regardless of orientation need to be 960x800 in order to maintain the sharpest image possible. See my post here.
The attached file is a grid 960x800, which is the recommended size for a wallpaper in android. That is 2 times the width by the height of the phone screen.
Make this the wallpaper on your phone and test it out. you should be able to use the entire image as your wallpaper. Make sure you have auto-rotate on and that your home app is scrolling the wallpaper. If you use a home app that allows you to change the number of homescreens you will see that how much of the image is scrolled changes with the number of screens.
If you use auto-rotation you will be able to see exactly what part of an image can be seen with the phone in each orientation. This is the problem when creating wallpapers, particularly ones with content (kids, a car, etc.) that you want visible in either orientation.
I keep so many icons on my homescreens that mot of the wallpaper is covered so I use a simple wallpaper. If you want the wallpaper to be more visible and make a statement about you or your phone you have to consider many factors. The release version of the Streak with Android 1.6 was customized to allow a different wallpaper on each screen, to get that effect now you have to use an app.
MultiPicture Wallpaper
StreakSet Wallper app
WallStreak - it's buried in the thread
960x800 wallpaper gallery
So - there is no simple answer. Let us know what ends up working for you.
Edit: I like to edit my wallpaper images on my PC making sure that the image is a multiple of 960x800 (to preserve the aspect ratio) and the resize to 960x480 before copying to the phone. The gallery app will allow you to select an entire 960x800 image.
Edit2: Your home app may handle the wallpaper differently than stock or other phone apps, so test on your specific setup.
Marvin... that grid line you provided seems to be helping ALOT. It fits landscape without a problem now I can plot exact grid points... I'll do a quick run to see how it looks. If I am content I will post results but if not I will get some rest. its 2:30 lol... but thanks alot, all of you.
Def. happy with how this came out, that image wasn't the proper dimensions so I edited it (not by much) now all I have to do is line it up on a fresh canvas and boom... thanks again. def solved my problems

Hi guys,
I guess everyone is having problem, setting their favourite wallpapers on honeycomb. Because whenever we try to set wallpaper, it asks for cropping and after applying cropped wallpaper becomes blurred [like it zommed in the wallpaper]......
some people said to use wallpaper wizardrii app but honestly it didnt help me at all....it still crops the picture and sometimes make it blurred.
so my solution to set desired wallpaper without cropping is very very simple but as i said this is just an alternative not the perfect solution.
just download live wallpaper called ''WATERIZE LIVE WALLPAPER '' , install it and then open it. By default it will have stones background. Go to settings and choose custom background of yourchoice. Apply it. Thats it. Now you have wallpaper of your choice without cropping. Its so easy and plus it adds the effect of water ripples on your wallpaper which looks so cool. Try out.
this is my alternative way to set background without cropping but little sacrifice is its live wallpaper but i would really love to use this until google solve this issue on honeycomb.
i have provided the link for download.
if anyone likes this then please comment
And i see, you must use the full version to get the option custom image.
Use Wallpaper Wizardii from the market

What is the exact wallpaper size if using wallpaper for tablet? 1280 x 800 ?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
The problem is that using these programs you apply a live wallpaper like a static wallepaper ...... and that this decreases the speed of toucwiz.
I think 1920x1408 resolution is best for our honeycomb tablets. But this multi live wallpaper software make the images fit to screen so u dont need to worry. Otherwise for perfect size try the above resolution....i will upload some wallpaper collection when i m free.
---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
thanks to refer me this amazing software. I installed it long ago but at that time i was new to honeycomb so didnt notice the setting menu of multi live wallpaper but now i installed again and looked into the setttings and when i applied. ...i found that this software is ****in awesome. I love the way it has difffernt wallpaers on each screen and specially the screen transition effect is glorious.
One question though, being a live wallpaper and changing wallpaper on time intervals itself, do u think it will consume more ram and subsequently battery?
I wish it just use battery like a static wallpaper.
Another app that I used previously (although it was on my phone and not on my tablet) was "Wallpaper Set and Save".
Wallpaperwizadrrii and multipicture all compress the picture and degrade the quality.
I have yet to see a solution that maintains quality AND doesnt crop.

That's incorrect.
As I said in another thread, when using a stock Honeycomb ROM and/or ADW the standard rules of Android wallpaper sizing apply.
You take the screen resolution in portrait and double the width and that's the size the wallpaper should be to fit perfectly. Obviously you can scale up or down from there if you really want to but the ratio will stay the same.
There is a question-mark as to whether TouchWiz changes the way wallpapers are selected/size but since I really don't like TouchWiz, I haven't investigated.

The BEST solution and a little more OPTIONS is MULTI-LIVE WALLPAPER..It looks Semi-Challenging to use but it really isn't..It allows you to set each screen with a specific wallpaper or you can have it cycle to different ones throughout your wallpaper folder..I have it set so that it cycles thru as I change Home screens..Don't let the Name fool you..It is IMO the BEST ONE OUT..Try it and see for yourself..You can also set it to FILL your SCREEN!!!Also the screen TRANSITIONS are AWESOME..And its 100% FREE!!!!

Unfortunately the first is utter rubbish and does not work!
So as we all know if you use your own images for wallpaper that the images turn out cropped and blurry. I was using Simple Image Wallpaper Free but a couple months back the application started to crash and not work prop. The app will no longer let me choose images from my gallery or SD card but instead only allows me to use images from a setup Google account which does not show all my images. When I do select an image it crashes every time.
So I'm now looking for a new app that will let me use my own images without cropping then to crap and making them look blurry as crap. I have tried Image to Wallpaper and I do not like it and it doesn't work that we'll.
Please help. I would love to make my own images for backgrounds. Thanks

Uh, no?
I've never had this issue as long as I've used an image with a suitably high resolution. Since the display resolution on the tablet is 2560x1600, I'd recommend using a source image at least that large. Preferably larger, since it will crop it a little by default to properly format it for both portrait and landscape orientations.

This is an issue and I think you need to take a look better. If you setup a 2560x1600 image for your wallpaper you will be pushed to crop the image. Now you easily make the image look clean and crisp by cropping the image to the size of the photo and it looks wonderful BUTTTTTT if you flip your tablet long ways you will see the image for the wallpaper does not cover the full screen and instead your left with a black top and bottom border cause you image doesn't fit.
Now,,,,,,,,, let's go back to choosing a wallpaper again and when we are left with the option to crop but instead we don't crop like before but instead we make sure our crop markers show horizontal and diagonal view so that the image for the wallpaper will be seen covering no matter what angle we are using the tablet,,,,,,,, well guess what?????? Now your image has been blurred and looks like crap.
I don't know how long you have had your tablet but I've had mi he since the day it was released in stores. When the tablet came out this was an issue everyone was b***hing about non stop but now one wants to help me here. I cannot even find the write ups and threads from this issue anymore. There were threads where others had the same issue but your telling me 136 stupid idiots can view my post and thread and ignore to help as if nothing is wrong or they don't care?
What a useless forum and group of people here. Thanks to the two who replied. But this is an issue that had been addressed by everyone in the beginning too. This was also an issue with the previous Note 10.1 and also the 2014 edition. Its by fault Android which makes you crop.

And you say there is no issue and also 136 people ignore to reply that there is an issue.
I use to use Simple Image Wallpaper but it no longer works - app issue
Wallpaper Wizardrii and Image 2 Wallpaper are a waste.

Relax brother, android can be a bit of a crap shoot when it comes to stuff like this. Even on the same device, we're all running different roms/tweaks/dpi settings/etc. I can vouch that your issue affects my setup as well, but it may be different for some of the others here.
Seriously though, did quickpic work for you? If not I'll see if I can find something else that will since I can replicate the issue.

Thank you for recommending the app but unfortunately it didn't work. With images your given three options for wallpaper cropping which are photo, Google photos and Quickpic. Tried all three and same issue, it crops the images to the point your left with a blurry image.
Simple Image Wallpaper was the best and I miss having it work. No worry of cropping and worked in landscape and portrait mode.
Thanks for recommending Quickpic but still no fix.
Guess what? Good news got it working with Simple Image Wallpaper but had to download the pro version for 99 cents to get it to work. Happy again. I recommend anyone having this issue to download it. You can now choose a different image for landscape and portrait separate or keep it the same. Doesn't blur the image, doesn't crop the image and uses the whole photo. I use 2560x1600 images which is the display is and I get a 2560x1600 wallpaper.
