Meanwhile... any good 480x800 wallpaper website?
I'm using one of the default aurora type ones.

I am using an image called "Raise" (Feb 5th) and it looks absolutely stunning on the amoled screen.
I use a centered crop of this one:

Sorry if this is a repeat.
I have been playing with wallpapers on this nook since I got it around Christmas Time. I always give up before I fix issues with cropping, quality, etc. I found a program called "Wallpaper Plus" and it works like a charm. You open the program, search for your images in the gallery, set it and forget it.....
Nice. I've been using the hack with setting wallpaper while in landscape. So far that seems to work for me.
I just use Wallswitcher, plus it changes every N minutes which is nice.
Just tried this....works great!

The HD Rare Black Wallpapers from the market work beautifully on the NC. I wanted black and white because the color wallpapers all have a lot of grain in transition areas (I'm not sure if it's the NC or android that doesn't seem to support 32bit color)
What I founfd to work best is, find a wallpaper that is 5:4 aspect ratio with a height of at least 1024px. I then use QuickPic to set the image, either in portrait or landscape works the same.
Best part about the Note 2 is the awesome screen! However, one of my biggest issues is lack of high resolution content ! Seems like 95% of wallpapers, and clock widgets are low resolution and it drives me nuts. Any tips on where to get higher resolution widgets or wallpapers? Zedge is terrible, PicSpeed is O.K. but not great. Any others?
Have you tried HD Widgets from the Play Store? Or Beautiful Widgets?

For wallpapers, someone in the "screenshots of your note II" shared this:
www.ilikewallpaper.net/iPhone-5/Wallpapers/
Much easier than finding images that are at least 1280 in height and cropping, which I was doing before.
Beautiful Widgets is pretty terrible also. Like 95% of the skins are very low res.
I havent tried the wallpapers, but do those any work if you choose not to have your wallpaper scroll as you scroll homescreens? I thought the android wallpapers needed to be wider than they are tall for the best scrolling effect.

What do you mean scrolling wallpaper? Mine does not have that feature, I thought they got rid of the scrolling wallpapers. I really want that feature back I hate having the static wallpaper its boring. The wallpaper selector gives you a cropping outline which shows 3 rectangles, with the left and right sides as if it still does the wallpaper scrolling but it doesn't.

Yes I use multi picture live wallpaper so my wallpapers need to be 720 width and 1280 height. The ones in that site work great.

My bad - it looks like you are right (at least with regard to the Touchwiz launcher). I had to switch temporarily to TW launcher to check this.
I am running Nova Launcher - which does allow for scrolling wallpapers.
I came from the OG Droid, to the Galaxy Nexus, and then to the GN2. This is my first non "google experience" phone. Even my Nexus 7 tablet has scrolling wallpapers with the default launcher - but that tablet is running Paranoid Android. Not sure what the stock Jellybean launcher behavior is...
I have tried downloading apps and getting pictures off the internet that are at 2560x1600 but they are all blurry. The only good ones are the default ones built-in. Is there any place to go to get wallpapers that are not blurry?

Try 'Pattrn'. The quality on the 10's screen is fantastic.
Wallpaperswide.com and use the simple image wallpaper app to set them as wallpaper.

Dont listen to the above, you'll always have cropping issues and it'll look horrible if you use 2560x1600 because Android wallpapers scroll and are meant to look good in both landscape and portrait. Ideally, you should use images that are exactly 3966x2560. There aren't a lot of those out there, however. What I've been doing until more become available is Google's image search, using the Search Tools option to limit the results to images exactly or larger than 12MP (4096x3072). Scaling an image down will look much better than scaling up, and using anything below 3966x2560 will do just that.
Edit: Sorry, I skimmed the other replies before writing this. technician42's suggestion for the Pattrn app is actually a really good one. The others though... as I said, anything less than 3966x2560 will give you a bad time.

Not 100% true.
So don't disregard the links above as they're perfectly useful and I have many wallpapers that are 2560x1600 that aren't cropped on my N10. Use an app called Simple Image Wallpaper Free in conjunction with wallpapers from the above links, or with any other 2560x1600 images you find. The app is actually a "live wallpaper" but there is nothing live about it. From within the settings check "fill screen" and the app will make sure there is no cropping of the image. If you are so inclined you may also choose different images for landscape and portrait. One thing to note, your wallpaper will not scroll if you use this. Enjoy.

The problem with this approach is, unless the wallpaper doesn't rotate with the tablet, it would look horrible in portrait mode (or Landscape if you used a 1600x2560 image). You cant fill 2560 of height with 1600 without ugly stretching.

I see what you're saying, but the wallpaper doesn't rotate with the screen, so it doesn't stretch. One downside is that some of what you see in landscape mode won't be seen in portrait, but I rarely use my tablet in portrait anyway.
Simple image wallpaper pro lets you choose a different wallpaper for portrait. I can't stand the scrolling wallpaper. First thing i turn off, and its MUCH easier finding good wallpapers. 2560 x 1600 is the right resolution for a non scrolling, one screen wallpaper. Looks great. Oh, just discovered yesterday that recent nova launcher update will let you crop and set non scrolling wallpapers. Woot!

The official AOKP from Steve Spear has this feature built into his ROM.
The easiest way to find wallpaper that you don't have to crop is Google images and use the Exact Size feature (priceless feature btw)
Search for whatever ("wallpaper" being a good start)
Search Tools
Drop down that says "Any Size"
Choose "Exactly"
Enter in the HxW you want in pixels..
I use screen captures from Minecraft. You can get some pretty cinematic effects in Minecraft using optifine. I have some nice pictures that have been featured on my homescreen. For example, a cave system or setting sun.

Can i set a lock screen wallpaper?
I know there are a few DNA wallpaper threads, but I feel this warrants a new thread...
I'm a wallpaper fiend and wallpapers for our phones are INCREDIBLY hard to find, so I just wanted to add some tips I've found for finding proper wallpaper for our phones that may not be immediately apparent.
First of all, I know this is pretty obvious, but any 1920x1080 wallpaper can be rotated 90 degrees to work for our phones. Also, all the stock Xperia Z wallpapers will work.
Google searches for "larger than 4 MP" come up with a lot of results: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en...p.r_qf.&fp=5394ff313a8b7984&biw=2133&bih=1016
Picspeed wallpapers can be used for rotating wallpapers 90 degrees as well as using static wallpapers without having to crop them: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.srsdev.wallpapers&hl=en If you open the Gallery directly, you can got to Set As and choose Picspeed.
Wallpapers for the iPad 3 are Very close to our required resolution, and this is a great resource: http://2048px.com/
If you find a wallpaper you like with a solid black or white background, you can make a 2160x1920 file in Photoshop and fill the background layer with black or white, If you drag the wallpaper you downloaded directly into photoshop it will place it dead center and you can easily create a correct resolution file. You can also do this with any color 1080x1920 wallpaper as long as you don't allow the homescreen to rotate.
Wallbase has a few 2160x1920 wallpapers: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jaXRjLndhbGxiYXNlIl0.
Any system dump from a 1080p tablet will work as long as you rotate the wallpaper 90 degrees using the Picspeed or Photoshop method.
Please post any more suggestions/ links you find! Wallpapers for are phones are scarce and I feel we need an official thread going.
EDIT: Here's a zip file of all the ones I've tracked down. http://d-h.st/iLZ
