Why do wallpapers look stretch and blurry? Is it because CM7 is usually for phones? Is it running on a lower resolution and stretch? Or did I do something wrong.
Use multi picture live wallpaper to set them, it'll fix the problem.
Another workaround has been posted on the issue list here :
Image should be scaled to 1536×1024 for best effect as per IRC conversation: [13:45] <zondajag> the location of this folder is as follows
[13:46] <zondajag> its DATA/DATA/COM.ANDROID.SETTINGS/FILES/WALLPAPER [13:46] <zondajag> in lower caps
[13:46] <zondajag> oops
[13:46] <ne0phyte> cool
[13:46] <zondajag> the wallpaper file is a renamed png
[13:46] <zondajag> replace that with a png with res 1536×1024 and restart [13:47] <zondajag> and rename it to wallpaper without the .png

Hello everyone!
I was wondering what are the best pictures/wallpapers to put in our Home Screen?
I just tried some but the final result was always disappointing...
Can you give me some pictures and tipos to make a good homescreen only by changing images...
Thank's!
If you're using the default S.E. homescreen, then using a PC, resize/crop your images to exactly 480x320 then make sure you don't crop the image further when setting it as wallpaper on the phone (i.e. make sure the handles are dragged out all the way
Also, saving as PNG is often nicer, as you won't get any compression artifacts, that can make the image look ugly on the phone
Here are a couple of wallpapers I've resized to the right format
You can check out these wallpapers, they are the correct size:

Nice collection
Another trick I learnt from a different blog to get the right sizes is get images in the size of 960 x 854
Check out this blog post and a few wallpapers there too . . . . For later searches simply go to Mobile9 or DroidForums for wallpapers in the 960 x 854 size

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.

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.
How can I do

to became my boot animation?
It would have to be resized. The size of the writing will be small though because it's landscape and we should resize it to portrait values. But for the process to do it:
Manually resize all the pictures to 480x800 resolution and adjust the resolution also in desc.txt. That should do it. If I would have time now, I'd try it myself.

Isn't it resize itself?
No, it isn't. The pictures inside the folders have to be the same resolution as specified in the desc.txt.

Nevermind I took boot animation from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636079.
So I want to experiment with creating looping gifs/videos as live wallpapers with my Pixel 6. I see that the native screen res is 2400x1080 is that the size I should render the video at as well or are live wallpapers lower resoloution and scaled up?
Using smaller sizes and upscaling will save space but the upscaling will soften the image. I would use the screen's actual resolution if possible. To be certain however you should try to extract the wallpapers from the system framework (framework-res apk) and look at them in an image viewer. You'll get the dimensions of the wallpaper that way.
