Anybody know of an app that will take a small image and create a tiled wallpaper from it? I know how to do it with an image editing program but an Android app to do it would be great. I have various patterns like bricks, coins, etc that I've collected over the years.
IM not sure what u want but if IM not wrong photo grid is an app which combines numerous pictures into one it's free on market
from raj's s2
Sort of... That app will combine up to 9 photos (they can all be the same) into one, but there are seams between the photos and the result doesn't work well as a tiled wallpaper.
What I'm looking for is what Windows does, take a small image and without resizing it just tile it as the wallpaper, hopefully without intermediate steps.

Vibrant display is impressive EXCEPT when I zoom in on photos (taken with a Canon G10) uploaded to phone, and viewed in the stock gallery. There seems to be some degradation in the photo quality when I zoom in or try to use as wallpaper. I notice this on 5mp+ photos. Detail gets very fuzzy on Vibrant screen. Can anyone explain this to me?
It has something to do with the compression they used.. There's a thread about this in the galaxy s forums, look it up.... for wallpaper I use flikie from the market.. I don't use it to download wallpapers, just to set the ones I want from the gallery.. works great...
It's the Gallery Application that was made by Cooliris. You can search the Nexus One forums, they have plenty info on this.

Wallpaper Unblurry "Trick"

I was a little confused when trying to use a nice photograph as a wallpaper as well until I realized that when I go to set wallpaper, the box you use to select the region of the image to use for the wallpaper is actually resizable. Just drag the corner of that box to make it larger, and the image won't be blurry.
I don't think that this is a problem with the screen or any of the phone hardware, but rather Samsung's software scaling of images.

I am aware that you can adjust the crop for wallpapers... so I guess my issue is more with zooming in on a photo to see more detail and it becoming very blurry.
Thanks for the insight and additional research ideas. I will try flikie as well
************
Update:
Oddly, when I use flikie to set wallpaper it gives message that the wallpaper is set, but its the default twiz "grass blades", not my photo. Annoying. Also no option to choose crop size.
Hope there's better gallery included in updates.
I am looking for the following that I haven't been able to find by searching:
-Widget with different sizes
-Widget will automatically slideshow from selected drawers at a set interval (with random as option)
-You can scroll through the photos by swiping, preferrably seamless (with the help of a launcher that allows scrollable widgets I guess) so you can scroll really quick
-Clicking a picture will bring you its source
Would this be possible (or is there such a widget already)?
I have not found anything like this but would love to have it.
Would like this also... thought i'd 'bump' the short thread.

Great idea.. Whoever decides to jump on board should test with one of the new 7 inch tablets as well.. Having extra screen estate means bigger thumbnails for Widgeez especially anything picture related.
Multi Picture Live Wallpaper does more or less what you want.
You can have an empty screen and cycle the background.
Obviously not a widget, but it comes close to what you want.
(can't yet add the link for you unfortunately)
I know exactly what you might be looking for...
I had a "Sony Xperia Arc LT15a" on gingerbread.. and it had a scrolling gallery widget where the pictures shuffled in folder order when you touch the widget and I cant find it anywhere. If anyone can find anything similar msg me please!

Its good but what I'm really looking for is simply an automatic slideshow version of the stock android photo gallery widget. I like the way it stacks the photos, shows them in high res and responds to flicking through them - I just wish it would animate automatically!
I need slide widget 'xperia style' too. Is it present?
Up!
Okay been running tnt two taps for about a week ive noticed that when using a non live walpaper it is streched and oversized cant seam to find a fix for this did see it was happening on the nook color but nothing on gtab. anyway anyone know of a fix for this thanks t.krein
Any ideas live wallpapers work just fine
Well when you set a wallpaper the tablet usually stretches it to fit all four panes on the classic home(when you slide left and right). Try to use one that's more landscape, I forget the actual resolution, and see if it looks any better
anyone know the solution to this this have been a problem on most roms that ive tested on
yes i used both 1024x600 and 1024x1024 and even started to use high res so it would look so pixelated

Quickpics (might be quickpix, can't remember, and tablet is off right now or I'd check) has been the best app I've found for setting background images. What needs ot be remembered for all image apps is that the wallpaper is NOT centered vertically in landscape mode, which most of us use regularly. SO, when cropping an image, you must put the "center" a bit higher than center...the best way I can illustrate this is that if you are using a completely black background with a red "X" in the middle, when cropping, position the "X" in about the top 1/3rd of the crop box...it will then be "centered" when you view the desktop wallpaper. Quickpics tends to not resize it like other apps do. Similar app is Wallaby (but it's finicky sometimes, depending on the image used.
The reason our "phones" resize and crop the images it to allow for better viewing in portrait mode...simple as that.
Hey,
I'm looking for photo icons (2x1, 3x1, 2x1, 1x2, ...) to use with desktop visualizer. I have so far found these two only (and a few that I seemed to have roaming my PC):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783946
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9139570#post9139570
But I would like some more as I don't fully like them and want to see more.
I'd prefer icons with text on them, but I don't have photoshop to do it myself (let alone that I can work with it).
If anybody has a link to a set, that would be greatly appreciated. I googled but I could not find any, perhaps I am using the wrong key words?
Cheers!

Thanks a lot Those look great. Sadly the text is a bit blurred from resizing it to wildfire size.
I might give making them myself a shot. Does anybody know the optimal resolution for 3x1 and 2x1 wildfire icons? (so that there would be a small space between nearby icons)
Anybody that can tell me the resolutions? I would think just 3/4 the wildfire width resolution, but perhaps there is a standard for these kinds of things that I don't know (with desktop visualiser etc)
Cheers
I have been slowly taking photos and making wallpapers until now where I feel I can show them off, but I have been having difficulty making an app for them, I haven't developed for android before but I am a web designer so I thought it wouldn't be too hard. I've been using an app template called Polar and although it works its designed for icons and I can't get rid of the icons tab or categorise the wallpapers like I would wish to, what can I use?
