I'm on cm7 using the 3D gallery and whenever I set a wallpaper it seems to "compress" it (I don't know the exact term). Even 2560x1600 pictures look blurry and I can still see the individual pixels. Are there any good gallery alternates?

i use Quickpic fron the market. something about cyan roms makes this happen. quickpic is also just a good replacement gallery. i feel 3d gallery is annoying and buggy.

I love my gs2 but i have a really big gripe about the pictures from facebook. Viewing the same picture on my missus sensation it seems of much lower quality. Is there a setting i need to select to download high res pics? Both pics were downloaded using wifi so its not my carrier shrinking them down.

Let me try to answer you,
The Sensation has higher resolution (qHD) than the SGS2 (WVGA).
therefore, Facebook (or any other) pics will be more Fine on the Sensation, because they are not been maximized to fit the screens.
So, its normal.

Why is that wallpaper is always cropped? It doesn't even scroll anymore on this phone. When you are setting a wallpaper, you choose a pic, and with the right resolution, you just select the whole thing. And then on the home screen it's not the whole picture. Why?

I think it has to do with the 3D carousel Rosie. Anything without the 3D Rosie has scrollable wallpaper.

Yeah, the carousel is fun for the first few spins, but then the novelty wears off. I wish that HTC had made the WP scroll until the carousel started or something. Hell, I could do without the carousel altogether if they'd let us disable it. Confining us to a 9:16 slab of screen is pretty lame, regardless of the resolution.
I just want horizontal layout for home screen. I don't get it, what's the big deal? I remember my BB Storm had it years ago.

Can someone tell me how to change my background to all black the jpg I had for my last phone, which was the atrix, worked fine but it does not work on this phone. I also took a picture with my hand over the lens to make it all black and tried to make that my background and that also did not work. What am I missing??? Thanks in advance.
Can you set any other pic from your gallery as a wallpaper? If you can, there's no reason you couldn't set your black jpg or the one you took with your finger over the lens.

Thats correct, I took another picture and when I tap on that photo it gives me the option to crop but not the photo with all black :\. I took another picture and that worked.... not sure why I didn't do that from the beginning
I get my wallpapers for my comp from interfacelift.com
Now that my phone has similar resolution size I also got some for my phone there too...
For some reason I have to crop all the pics to make them my wallpaper. But what I don't understand is why can't I make my wallpapers look like they did stock. My wallpapers are too zoomed in. I can't capture the true beauty of this screen..... Can anyone help me understand and/or help me find some beautiful wallpapers??

The International Note's wallpaper select tool is far better than the crippled PoS on the AT&T Note. I recommend an app called 'Wallpaper Wizardrii' which allows you to set and manipulate any image for a wallpaper. I've used it for a long time and it's an absolute godsend!
Agreed with juzz86. Use wallpaper wizardrii and if you're using a scrolling wallpaper set it to "stretch landscape".

I use quickpic as a gallery replacement app, much better, you can set wallpapers properly with that too.
Thanks guys I'll be sure to check them out.
Are you Noteworthy??

Another quickpic recommendation, been working well, both on GB and ICS
Do u guys know what the best size/resolution for the lock screen wallpaper is? I can't get it right and my high res pictures end up looking distorted... Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
It needs to match the native screen resolution of 1280x800
Yea but when i crop a wallpaper with the native resolution it comes out distorted....

What are you setting it with?
The stock gallery... sucks, use quikpic, don't uninstall or freeze the stock gallery you need it to be able to set the lock screen wallpaper with quikpic...if it's not present that option won't appear in quikpic

Actually i use gallery 3d so i don't freeze that app.... Quickpik is what i am using to set it... I just can't seem to get.that hd looking quality even when i use large pics that are 1600x1200... I figure.their is a resolution that would allow you the perfect quality with the CEO box expanded fully.. U know what i mean?
