Post some of your coolest wallpapers in size 480x400 for SG3 !!!
Perhaps search at Appbrain.com they have a great Wallpaper Gallery . The url is appbrain.com/wallpaper .
http://numaga.com/media/gallery/global/300-amazing-full-hd-nature-wallpapers-part-1-6
That's where I choose my wallpapers from (torrented them all in one full package, though)
Imo, it doesn't need to be 480x400; you can always choose the best part of it if It's bigger. And you can always resize them to 480x400 if you must
Currently my desktop looks like this:
hint: To see more photos in that website, just replace part-1-6 with part-2-6 in the url.

Another one here. lol
Noob question inc. I want to make a few wallpapers for the community, can you tell me what resolution I should build them in? I see the images here are 640x569, but the aspect ratio on that doesn't sound right...
Related question, I got the idea from another post somewhere else, that one wallpaper could span all 7 home screens if made 1080x960. Is this true? I will test it, but thought someone else might already know.
You are correct sir. 1080x960 is the size. Thanks for telling me it resized the thumbnails. I will make a zip file and attach it to the first post when back at my main PC which includes the original files.
Some of my favs
Below are some of my favorites.
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
'Wallpaper for Tablets' in the market solves the problem as well.
Also, 'MultiPicture Live Wallpaper'
Both are free, and allow you to perfect you wallpaper on the tab.
+1 for multi live wallpaper
+1 Wallpaper for Tablet. Works great. No more crop

How do you use this program? When I install it, I can't open it. I've tried to reboot also.

it works great thanks for sharing
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.

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.
Free!! Multi-live wallpaper..try it!!!
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!!!!

The firmware allows you to change the lockscreen wallpaper, Settings > Screen > Screen display.
You just need to size it up in the manner I laid out in the thread I linked-to.

Unfortunately the first is utter rubbish and does not work!
I am using HTC One V (Android 4.0). And as in other phones, when using default HTC Sense launcher, I am unable to set any random image as wallpaper without cropping. One V comes with screen resolution of 480x800 and I downloaded few wallpapers with this specific resolution. But HTC still forces me to crop almost half of image which is irksome.
I researched on this forum and found some solutions but it is not working on my One V
WW - It sets full image as wallpaper but when I move to right or left for alternate desktops, I get thick black edge. I even selected "Scroll" but still same problem. With no scroll, it goes completely wrong.
Quickpic - They say, use "set as quickpic wallpaper" but this option doesn't work too. It shows a frame to crop which doesn't expand to cover entire screen and if I dont do anything frame, it set image inside frame as wallpaper.
Can somebody please post genuine solution which will help to set wallpaper as it is (like image) ? Help very much appreciated.
I found the solution.
Download "ES File Explorer" from market.
Than on HTC one v go to:
-settings
-personalize
-wallpaper
-gallery
When prompt "complete action using" select ES File explorer.
Select folder with pictures...

One V Wallpapers to fit...
Hi, I've found a way to make the wallpapers fit the One V by re-sizing them yourself. I have included some in the zip-file with a template too for you to try...
set the resolution to 960X800 pixels of any picture and it'll work as a wallpaper (without cropping). it does tend to make the best pictures a bit squishy though. I wonder if there's a way of maintaining a long (480X800) ratio and choose 'no scroll' option
so i was wondering where the wallpapers for the stock wallpaper picker are located on this phone...i was thinking of putting my own wallpapers in that section because theyre quite bad when cropped by the gallery
please and thanks
I am looking for the same thing, any luck friend?
As long as the wallpaper sizes are the correct size (1440x1280), it doesn't matter where you put them. Just expand the box in gallery to cover the whole image, and even though it will say cropping, it won't crop.
Or try an app called Crop Wallpaper. It will do a little better job of cropping, or you can select whole image.
Technically the folder they are stored in is /system/customize/resource
But even if you drop pictures in there, and set the permissions, and reboot. they don't show up.
I believe the filenames have to be referenced in the default.xml file in the /system/customize/MNS folder as well.
Unless you're cookin up a rom and want to include your own images, it just isn't worth it.
I made some Note wallpapers and just thought I'd share with everyone.These images are not my works,I altered images I found on the great and powerful Google.I use Wallpaper Wizardrii to set them so they don't have to be cropped or anything fancy.Enjoy
*edit* fixed the one wallpaper
Nice but the first wp has a tiny line on the left side. Might wanna fix that.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
[Lady]: "How do you carry that huge phone in your pocket?"
[Note User]: "I'm used to having huge stuff in my pants"
Thanks. Make some more with blue and white, and an android, would be cool!

I'm not trying to rain on your day but just wanted to offer some ideas about making things fit on your Note proper. While Wallpaper Wizardii works, it doesn't work optimally (all the time) and tends to stretch and pull pixels causing the wallpaper to look distorted and funky IMHO. That said. The proper resolution for the Note should be
-1600x1280 for scrollable wallpapers
-800x1280 for fixed wallpapers
my advice is to use GIMP or Photoshop to adjust your wallpapers for proper fit. I also advise NEVER to use a wallpaper that is smaller than 800x1280 because blowing a wallpaper up just looks horrid.
Always find something that is larger than your target size....so bigger than 1600x1280 or bigger than 800x1280.
step by step
1. Save the wallpaper you want to resize to your computer
2. Open GIMP and create a new file (800x1280 or 1600x1280)
3. Open the wallpaper you want to resize
4. Adjust the size of the wallpaper that needs to be resized (most of the time you will not get a perfect size for example you may have a 2000x2000 pic you must resize to 1600x1600 otherwise it will be funked up, don't try resizing to Note dimensions).
5. Once it's resized COPY it and go to your new file and paste as new layer.
6. Use the alignment tool to align vertical and horizontal
7. You're done unless you want to add text or something else.
8. Save as a .jpg and send it to yourself, or save in dropbox or whatever.
Anyway, that's just a short bit of advice.....again, not trying to be a **** just giving advice as I have been doing walls for awhile now.
Good luck! :good:

Oh no problem at all bro , I started using wizardii because the default wallpaper chooser on the note always wants to crop pics(even original note wallpapers)when you choose them.I appreciate the info and maybe this weekend I'll have another go at it.I used to have GIMP,I will re-download it and try it as my tool(I was in ms paint doing those lol) because I don't have photoshop and honestly I tried photoshop once upon a time and it was extremely confusing for me to try to figure it out.Thanks for the help,I really appreciate it.
no problem.....I'm here to help. And Photoshop is not all hard, GIMP is not hard either, especially if all you're doing is a resize or fit. Making your own stuff gets into a higher learning curve.
anyone is free to hit me up if they have questions, always willing to help.....just don't get mad if I don't answer straight away....I do have a RL with a wife and 4 kids in it so I sometimes get doing other things. LOL
