Hello,
how can I get high quality wallpaper without any blur on my HD2? I found some cabs on xda forum (high quality wallpapers cabs). Can I only install these cabs to my phone? Or I need to have some patch at first?
Many thanks
The screen's resolution is 480x800. Just google wallpaper 480x800.
If you ever try out android, there is an app called zedge which has some great wallpaper in it.
zedge.net, no need for the app.
The app lets you download and set wallpaper and ringtones so it's better than the site. Give it a try if you like Zedge's content.

I understand the resolutions....... But when Im setting the wallpaper 480 x 800 as the background, there is somtehing like blur on home screen across this wallpaper.... there is not the same quality as the whole wallpaper.
understand?
Search for HDWall. It comes with a HQ patch that allows real 480x800 wallpapers. When you set the wallpaper in Sense, it resizes it to something smaller and then resizes it again to fit the screen. I have no idea why HTC would do something so stupid, but they have.
There is no way to just set a wallpaper and keep it 480x800. Alternatively, install Co0kie's Home Tab. I believe that comes with an option to set HQ wallpaper.

Any place where I can find some and download it, I cant seem to locate the stock wallpapers included with the phone itself for some reason in my gallery.
They aren't in the gallery if you choose wallpaper instead of gallery after a long press they are there. But any picture will do best resolution from what I've read is 960 x 800

Here's what I do...
1). I install one market app "Wallpaper Set And Save" and use it to set static wallpapers.
2). I create a folder on the internal SD called "wallpapers" and place all my wallpapers here. This is the default folder name that the app expects, so why not...
3). I use Google Image Search. With Google Image search you can find some 960x800 wallpapers (the native resolution of our phones wallpaper), and Google Image Search allows you to specifically search for a precise resolution.
I *ALSO* use Google Image Search and search for 1280x1024 wallpapers and use these as well. Why?? Because 1280x1024 and 960x800 images have nearly identical aspect ratios (1.25 compared to 1.2), so 1280x1024 images work with very little noticeable distortion. Wallpaper Set And Save will also auto-stretch images, so there's no need to manually resize 1280x1024 images. And there are BUTT LOADS of 1280x1024 images on the net.
I use http://www.zedge.net/ for all my wallpapers their selection is huge.

I don't know if I'm just useless at this or if I've missed the obvious 'Oh yes, thats where it is' setting, but for some reason, every wallpaper I set (no matter the resolution) turns a bit rubbishy and pixelated after being set, I don't know but it seems to be after I installed the 1.504 GHz Mod, it also seems that Gallery 3D is running overspeed at times, I am not sure if its just my imagination.

I had the same problem. the low resolution wallpaper, is because of the crappy gallery app, wich resizes your picture.
there is an app called dodol wallpaper, in wich you can select a whole image as a wallpaper instead of cropping the image in the gallery app.
heres the link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=demo.galmoori.wallpapereditor&feature=search_result
its free.
this app sets an image as a wallpaper without any quality loss.

I'd be interested in the answer to your question, but if you want some good wallpaper while you are waiting, make sure you are searching for qHD wallpapers for other qHD phones, such as the Atrix.
Alternately, you can search for a specific size image with google image search online. Standard is twice the width, by the height of your screen.
qHD = 540x960
Wallpaper = 1080x960
Good luck making your own.
What I do is take an image that has a higher pixel size than what our screen has and crop it to 1080 x 960. The thing is, it doesn't get as sharp as I'd like. I feel like it should be super sharp. Icons are super sharp, why not the wallpaper, ya know. Does it have something to do with the screen itself?
Using the size parameters mentioned in the previous posts you can use photoshop or gimp (free!) and create your own custom wallpapers.

I noticed when viewing an image in the gallery and zooming it in to the size of the screen the picture is crystal clear, but when you set it as a wallpaper it gets a little pixelated so we know its not the hardware or picture itself. Could someone explain this, maybe the software could be tweaked? Try it out, the attached picture is a good example but it does it with all pictures.
Problem solved
What happens is that android compresses the pictures too much when setting them, causing distortion. Using an app called "Wallpaper Set And Save" sets the wallpaper and makes it crystal clear!
This always happens unless the image was taken by NASA or something, the image is ample size and very good quality, yet when I set it it becomes very blurry, lock or home screen.
Its very crispy when I pinch to zoom as well, whats going on here? How do I fix it?
Download QuickPic from the market and ignore or freeze the stock Gallery app. It downsizes the resolution of wallpapers. QuickPic is fast, cleaner, and doesn't cut corners. It's also free.

Ive had quickpic for a while now, and Its giving me the same exact problem.
I use Wallbase as a wallpaper app, and when I set the wallpaper from inside Wallbase, its crispy and perfect. Its only when I set the wallpaper via Gallery or any other image viewer that it becomes blurry.
I'm pretty sure it's zooming in on the picture which in turn makes it blurry, right? As to a fix, not sure myself.

I assume that what's happening. It happens with literally every single picture though
If you are downloading from wallbase on your phone, make sure you tap the image until it shows the tooltip for 100% before you long press to save it. I've run into the same thing. Also, make sure the image you are downloading is at at least 960x800 for full resolution as wallpaper.
I might be confusing you guys.
When I set the wallpaper via Wallbase, its fine.
When I save the wallpaper from wallbase (or anywhere for that matter), and set it as my wallpaper via Gallery or QuikPic, then it becomes blurry. Wallbase isnt the problem.
Thanks
If you have the "scrolling" background image enabled, make a new document in photoshop, or your image editor of choice, and make it 960x800 pixels, then resize your image to that and save as png then move to phone. Somehow the default resize for these phones makes it blurry... but setting it to the correct resolution fixes it.
^^ setting the image resolution to 960 x 800 solves the blurry wallpaper problem.

Is it me or is the wallpapers that get assigned for backgrounds become bad quality. For example I have taken a picture with an SLR, sharp crisp image but when its assigned as a wallpaper the quality is lost! I love my sgs2 but i dont like the quality of wallpapers. Any tips?
Ive tried resizing but its not the same. Never had this problem with non android phones.
yes the pictures actually become low in quality when set as wallpaper on touchwiz ROMs, I was very pissed about it but found a solution.Resize the image to 960x800 and save it in .png format, it wont turn into crappy quality then or switch to ICS or AOSP ROMs.
Download wallpaper set and save from the market and use it to set your wallpaper. Quality will remain
