Hey guys and gals,
How about wallpaper size and resolution?
What size and resolution of wallpaper are you guys using for the Archos 101. I'm currently trying to find the best size of wallpaper that will allow me to see the whole picture on the screen without having to cut a large chunk out of it.
What are you guys experiencing and have observed.

If you just use the stock wallpaper app, that is never going to happen. It will fore you to cut the picture in a square, and then zooms in.
Use something like Wallpaper Set and Save, or MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. I prefer the latter as it does not cut or crop my picture.
Same as every other Android device.
Double the narrow resolution.
So in our case, wallpaper for the 1024x600 display is 1024x1200.
For some reason though, not sure if it's Archos or Android, the quality is still degraded a bit. Not noticeable for a lot of images unless there's text that's already on the verge of illegible.
thanks, TempestDK! MultiPicture Live Wallpaper worked like a charm
I found that on my A70, I had to use a 1280x1040 image was perfect and gave me the full image. I have a great Super Mario wallpaper on currently (see attachment).
for A70 -> 960 x 800 or 800 x 960 and will work in vertical and horizontal position too
Here is a list of the recommended wallpaper resolutions for each Generation 8 devices
Archos 28 - 320x480 or 480x320
Archos 32 - 400x480 or 480x400
Archos 43 - 854x960 or 960x854
Archos 70 - 800x960 or 960x800
Archos 101 - 1024x1200 or 1200x1024

how about when it is on horizontal??does it fits?
I tried a 1024 x 1200 on my Archos 101 and it didnt look great. It lost the bottom of the picture. Looked OK in Portrait. There's something going on with the way Archos is resizing the pics.....

Ok so I've decided to stop using live wallpapers as they eat up battery and break launcher pro if I underclock my CPU to save battery.
However I'm having problems getting wallpapers the right size.
I've tried resizing them to 320x480 but when setting them it still asks me to crop them and the crop box isn't even the right shape rectangle when maximised!
So what size should my backgrounds be to fit nicely on the screen?
Try 640 x 480. It worked for me, on Zeam.
For Optimus One wallpaper must be a resolution of 640x480, and all other phones with resolution 320x480.
thanks for the replies, i'll try it out.
It's because the background moves as you swipe home screens. Basically, android wallpapers should have the same height as the screen but twice the width.
Good article on it: http://m.lifehacker.com/5657727/whats-the-deal-with-androids-weird-wallpaper-requirements
There is new version of crop wallpaper in market and this version can use define size of cropped picture.
Archos101 display is 1024x600
If those settings are set, I still get wrong size to wallpaper and tried many variations, but all are crappy.. HD pictures look like zoomed thumbs when set as wall.
Question: anyone knows what resolution should be set, to get best picture quality ??

The size needs to be 1200x1024 but in landscape mode only the top 600px are shown. in portrait mode everything is shown. that is the problem with wallpapers on android.
There is no way around that unless you resize you picture to 1200x1024 and leave the bottom 424px empty.
Or else use Multipicture live wallpaper but that is a big drain on resources.
the screen size of the mini pro is 320x480 and when I download a wallpaper (of the same size) and look at it in with the gallery app, it fits my screen exactly. but when I then want to set it as my wallpaper with gallery, apparently I can only use a part, at maximum half of it as max size? how come? how can I get wallpapers to be properly displayed at their full screen size?
Wallpapers need to be wide enough to cover 3 homescreens - due to the scrolling. It does not scroll more than 3 screens regardless of actual # of homescreens on your phone.
Therefore your wallpaper should be 960 x 480 for full coverage (3 x 320 by 480). Took me a while to work that out myself
thanks for letting me know
but then I wonder why people upload so many wallpapers with just the size for 1 screen?
edit: now Ive read that the best size is actually supposed to be 640x480, because apparently it doesnt move that far when scrolling

Wallpapers will have to be a higher resolution to account for the panning when you swipe across home screens. The wallpaper is not static. I do not know the exact resolution needed but i would make it bigger than neccesary then crop it to fit from the tablet. If you recall it gives a cross shape when you crop the wallpaper as it is different in landscape and portrait.
Alternatively you could make the 1280*800 fit as a static wallpaper using something like wallpaper wizadri from the play store, or static live wallpaper.
good luck
use an app called picspeed. when you go to the image and choose set as wallpaper, use picspeed as the program to set it. this will handle the task without the major cropping.
The resolution should be 1920x1408 to fit correctly.
1920x1408, still no good...
If i want to create my own wallpaper in Photoshop, do you know what size
it should be in order for it to fit exactly in landscape? i mean, should i take the pannig into consideration, just like bleed in print? and if so, how much...?
Does ppi matters?!
i want to make a shelf like wallpaper so that icons would appear to sit on them
and it's driving me crazy cuz' i have no clue as to where they (the shelfs ) should be...
Thanks!
... try
Code:
1920x1408, still no good...
... give 1920x1280 a try, it seems to be the native resolution for Android 4.0.3 (ICS) on the TF 300 tablet. No crop, cut or resize here :good:
Ive been trying to find out what resolution the android wallpapers are for the nexus 10.
I rooted mine today and found out where the wallpapers are located and the resolution is 3966 x 2560
Just thought id post for anyone looking for wallpapers or making there own
Strange resolution. Seems like we might be able to get even more detail out of the wallpaper with a greater resolution? I'd recommend taking a look at websites with wallpapers designed for multiple monitors to get something that large.

Resolution seems fine.
Remember, that when you set up the wallpaper, you only use the part of the image - you use the full height of it - 2560 - for portrait, and then for landscape, you use 2560 + something for scrolling. And remember, that this 2560+something isnt the full width of an image, so 4k x 2.6k seems about right.
(and i dont like that they dont allow to use full image for landscape and forces to use middle part of it....
and where i can find wallpapers with 3966 x 2560 resolution^^

Wallpaper wizardrii has a new update coming with 2560 resolution working. No cropping whatsoever on full resolution photos. Looks amazing. He'll update soon after I finish testing beta.
You wont really find any wallpapers with that resolution, go for larger resolutions that are more common like 5120 by 3200
here are some that should look good on the screen: http://wallpaperswide.com/5120x3200-wallpapers-r.html
thx for the answers. another question, does the stock android dont support different wallpaper on home and lockscreen? thx
I've found 2400x1600 fit perfectly, I'm writing an app to set wallpapers on N10, from what I've seen so far, it's setting them perfectly.

Where are they located?
The wallpaper are located in /system/apps then go to the launcher app and extracted it to wherever you want, then go to location where you extracted it /res/drawable-sw720dp-nodpi and the wallpapers should be there.
can you please pump the stock wallpaper out? i really like them but i flashed into PA rom..
+1 please post stock collection here . i missed them after paranoid firmware:'(
