[Q] Wallpaper Cropping Guide - Sony Tablet S

Is there a wallpaper cropping guide around for this tablet?
I've got an image i want full screen, but ofcourse the honeycomb wallpaper cropping tool and crop wallpapers overall limits it.

I assume you're mostly using the tablet in landscape mode?
You can download a Live Wallpaper from the market called Simple Image Wallpaper.
That lets you select an image for the tablet, and it will be full screen and stationary as you swipe across your different screens. Works for me!
I will say though, there is a bug when you turn the device on...the wallpaper will be black. But if you just hit Apps up the top, then head back out, it'll refresh the wallpaper to your chosen image. And that's just when you initially turn the tablet on, so it's not such a big deal.
Hope that helps!

Sweet, that has bugged me for a while.

Laggy
I haven't noticed it being that laggy at all on mine...
Initially, when you load the image, it can be a bit, but after it loads the image it seems to be fine. But I suppose, it's not optimal, it's a live wallpaper, so I imagine it's doing more than just telling the OS once to use a jpg.
But that was the only way I could really find to get it working...

Here is an image of my ICS (Android OS Version 4.0.3) wallpaper guide. To match the Sony Tablet S's screen pixel-for-pixel, wallpaper images should be sized 1920 pixels wide and 1280 pixels high.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The dimensions shown on the guide take into account and provide for the 48 pixels taken from the screen by the menu located at the bottom of the tablet's screen.
The dark green area is the horizontal (landscape) Home Screen area. The light green areas are the areas viewed when swiping left and right from the horizontal Home Screen.
The dark blue area is the vertical (portrait) Home Screen area. The light blue areas are the areas viewed when swiping left and right from the vertical Home Screen.
The gray areas show the pixel heights taken from the horizontal and vertical screens by the translucent menu located at the top of the tablet's screen. Notice that the pixel dimensions are not the same; i.e., 56 pixels for horizontal screens, 48 pixels for vertical screens.
The red area is the wallpaper's unviewable area. This area is required to cause proper cropping and placement of the wallpaper image.
Here is a screenshot of my ICS wallpaper guide displayed in the Sony Tablet S's ICS version wallpaper cropping screen with the cropping box fully stretched horizontally and vertically. Notice that the cropping's vertical box does not agree with the guide's vertical areas. This is due to a programming error made by Sony's(?) programmers; the guide's dimensions are correct.
Here is an image of my old HC (Android OS Version 3.2.1) wallpaper guide. It is based on an image originally posted by "kainv" (see their post here). It is a rough draft; I never finished putting all the relevant areas and dimensions on it. Notice that in HC, a wallpaper's full-scale pixel dimensions where 1920 W x 1408 H. In ICS, the dimensions were changed to 1920 W x 1280 H.
Here are URLs for downloading the images.

I hope you find the above useful. If you find any errors, please tell me.
