Here is a collection of wallpapers I have, resized to fit the Motorola Atrix. Have fun.

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.

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.

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.

Good point, I'll update the initial post.
I'm using this one right now, and it looks killer on the Nook's screen!
(Edited: Went back and used clickable thumbs. Original posted images were kinda big. =P )
This is my current WP.
but these 2 are my most used WPs
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!

Sue (or anyone else for that matter) can you elaborate on what you did to get an image to show up in the wallpapers section? I have a few backgrounds that I bounce in between frequently and would be grateful for a tip!

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.
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.
I am not the creator of this live wallpaper & I do not take any credit.

Above is the .apk of a live wallpaper currently available on the ASUS tablet. I wanted to share this with the devs here.
Upon installation, the wallpaper does work, however in low resolution. I was hoping someone could clean it up. I am trying to enhance the images a well.
The Live Wallpaper is supposed to be water with ice cubes that move according to how the phone is held, and raises and lowers in correlation with the battery.
Thread where I found the .apk.

I downloaded the apk and de-compiled it.
Keep in mind, I am not a Dev, I am a Graphics Designer.
I changed all of the images made some minor edits to the smali files and the xml files.
I changed the SDK Version and a number of minor things but I can't get it to work properly.
The problem isn't that it is in low resolution, it is not displaying the bubbles or the ice cubes.
I don't really understand why because it displays the water level just fine.
Like I said, I redone all of the bubble images and re-saved them, re-compiled the apk, signed it and installed.
I get the same results no matter what I do...
The ice cubes and the bubbles don't display, you just get a square white box in their place.
I hope someone picks this up, it is pretty cool. When someone that knows what they are doing gets hold of this it is probably something simple.
Sorry I couldn't help more.
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

Glad the info helped. If you have a 960x800 version of that wallpaper allpaper attach it to a post and I will add it to the wallpaper gallery I keep.
yes i meant that in landscape only 960x480 is shown but the wallpaper is 960x800
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
