Wallpapers Thread - Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps

Been looking for some good wallpapers for my tab but still not liking many so far.
Thought would be good idea if everyone share ones they have or links to where good ones exist.
Also I've been looking at 1280 x 800 resolution ones & always seem to require being cropped. Is this not the correct size?

I'm one for minimalistic and dark wallpapers. the less distraction the better.
this one was my standard wallpaper for ages! i kept coming back to this one because its just so nice to look at.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/90ubnqudq8l1ddl/t7j34JhrcK/1680x1050.jpg
currently i use this one, but i'll probably be back with the wooden one soon

Yeah me too.
Like the darker themes myself.

Depends what you are into. If you google something like Nature Wallpapers HD you should get quite a few sites where you get install straight off the net. Sometimes you get a choice of resolutions. And it's better than copying it into the tab because you don't loose the resolution over cropping. You would have a choce of theams like sports, natur ... Some of them are really good looking. Good luck.

nice wood one thanks

I also prefer dark wallpapers but on the phone. On the tablet and desktop I prefer the high-contrast type of wallpaper, the one that will bring in front the elements on the screen.
So, currently I have this wallpaper: http://i44.tinypic.com/16karly.jpg
The desktop with that one is attached.

That looks awsome. What widgets you are using? And how did you get icon labels in small letters instead of normal style?

I'm glad you like it .
The launcher is ADW EX - and this thing is allowing the naming of the icons/folders according to my liking. All the icons on the main desktop, except Play store, are folders containing the respective applications.
The widgets are:
big weather - "HD widgets"
small monitors in the bottom left - "Battery monitor widget" and "System Tuner"
the music player - PowerAMP
toggles set on the bottom rigt - "Extended Controls"
The other two are Calendar widget from touchwiz and the mailer is "Moxier mail".
That's all ... simple yet functional

Darker than ever for me.

I have tried 1280x800, 1650x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1408
But every time the wallpaper is just crap, cropped, half or way to small with a border around it.
It's getting a bit annoying, please tell me what is the best size?

same problem here

1280x800 is the correct size.
I use the app "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" as a solution and it works well.
The UI is clunky imo but you'll figure it out. Give it a try from the store.

Thanks for mentioning Zedge. I was up 'til 4 in the morning goofing around with wallpapers. So much for being well rested!
wallbase.net is a good site for Wallpapers. They're all different sizes but if I like one I'll take the 5 seconds to resize it properly in PS. Also interfacelift, but I think everyone knows about that site.
I'm kinda bummed that I have a year's worth of VGA wallpapers collected and now I need to change sizes. Oh well.

I'm having trouble finding high quality wallpapers. Even if the resolution is 960x800 or higher the quality of the image itself may look jaggy when set as wallpaper.look at the preloaded wallpaper and it is crisp and clear and almost pops out of the screen, but all the "hd"wallpapers I have downloaded so far are not very crisp like the preloaded wallpaper once set as such. I'd like a black theme wallpaper too to take advantage of the supposed battery life increase.

so I downloaded a couple wallpapers in 960x800 size. When I go in to set them as my wp it makes me select a cropped area and makes the wp look like crap. How do I make the entire image my wp?
By look like crap you mean it looks too zoomed in?

Yeah it was all blurry. I figured out how to properly crop though. I kept trying to pinch to zoom, but then I tried dragging one of the borders and it resized it properly. Looks good now.
On the app market search for "Backgrounds," it has a large amounts of wallpapers to select from.

Me and a few friends all share a secondary dummy Gmail account on our android phones. Picasa is the only option set to sync on the phone, as such we can all dump wallpapers to this Picasa account and they will show up on all of our phones in the gallery. Its a pretty neat trick and one gigabyte of free space is plenty enough room for quite a few wallpapers.
Most of the galleries are 1920x1082 images, but they look great once cropped.
The first gallery is one of my favorite current artists, Audrey Kawasaki. These images are meant to be used with alternate launcher apps like ADW, that allow you to turn off wallpaper scrolling. If you hide the status bar in ADW with one of these images selected it will give your screen a nice rounded look.

The others are all random, mostly high res wallpaper.

High Def Wallpapers 05/12/12

Hi, I re-sized a lot of wallpapers I had collected from all over the place, and figured I share them. Most are 1440x2560 or 720x1280. There is all kinds of different ones, like nature, abstract, animals, and Abe Lincoln holding a M16 and the Declaration of Independence while riding a grizzly bear. You know nice stuff.
Anyways I'll keep adding more and more over time. Please feel free to post your own wallpapers because I'm always looking for new ones to add to the collection. Thanks
Here they all are:

Here's a nice way to set these if your launcher makes you choose a different shape, and you can select multiple pics to use at once if you choose.

How do I set these in my wallpaper gallery in the system? When I set as wallpapers from my photo gallery, I have to pick a portion of the pic to set it. I want the full pic as is. Am I even making any sense? Lol

Yeah I see exactly what your saying, I notice that some launchers make you choose like a square shape, but GoLauncher and most of the ICS ROMS I've use lets you chose the actually screen shape, like in the picture. You could use GoLauncher (or most other launchers) to set the wallpaper. I'll see if I can figure out how to put them directly in the wallpaper chooser in Sense, I have desensed my ROM so I'll just flash a Sense ROM and see how that works.

I use a live wallpaper called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper... It allows a single image or a gallery of them. When you select the picture, it does a better job of fitting the image onto the screen. With 720x1280 images it uses the whole image.

Since these are sized for our phone's when I am cropping the image do I select the whole image, or just use the default setting when it comes up for better resolution?

I'm not sure how Sense4 is cropping the walls, I don't get all the green boxes when cropping, but, whenever I set something as a wallpaper..it blows it up and kills the quality. The only walls that look good are the htc walls =\

According to your site freeza, the resolution should be 1440x1280 for a scrollable but when I use that the phone still asks me to crop the image.
I know you use a different app, has anyone pulled one of the stock walls to see what the dimensions are?

1440x1280 is the correct resolution. If you use the gallery to select the wallpaper, it will always say its cropping - just pull the cropping box out to the full size, so it covers the whole image, and it will use the wallpaper in full resolution with no cropping.

Nice wallpapers guys!
Here's a couple that I've been using lately.. They don't fit the 1440 x 1280 size, but you can crop it to whatever looks good for you..
Found a couple more that I like.. Hope others like them as well.. And this time...they are 1440x1280.
I'm surprised more people haven't contributed to your site. Seems like it could be a great resource. (And yes, I know, I haven't contributed either)

Set Full 2560x1600 Wallpaper?? (No Cropping)

Is there a way to set full 2560x1600 wallpapers without cropping them? I found an app called Wallpaper Wizardrii in the appstore that does a great job and unlocks so many options just to simply add a wallpaper, but it only supports up to 1600 in HD Resolution. I emailed them to see if its going to be updated to support Nexus 10 Resolution. Check it out still a great app.
Google it
I did a Google for wallpaper 2560x1600. There are tons of websites with wallpapers in all kind of different sizes. Got plenty of wallpapers for my N10
I haven't found a way yet myself.... I they always force cropping even native resolution pics

Woah! Be easy man. I spoke with the developer and he has sent me a beta with 2560 resolution working perfect. Absolutely no cropping needed. He'll update it pretty soon after I test it on my s2 to see if adding the resolution causes issues.
I've been using an app called wallpaper set and save. I have works really well. Fits the whole image perfectly with scrolling. Try it out
Don't forget, wallpaper is wider than 2560, there are 5 homescreens it has to fit across.

Well in the beta it has two options for stretching amongst all screens. Landscape Scale and Portrait Scale. With either option without cropping all screens have a part of the image. The quality it still there. No zoomed in look from cropping and if it strecthes to fill all screens I dont see any lost in resolution or missing parts of wallpaper.
send me the apk for the beta i will try it
I haven't tried it on my N10 yet but it works great on my N7 to set full sized wallpapers
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.wallpaper
So did anyone know the exactly resolution a wallpaper has to have to fit exactly on the 5 screens? Can't even find the original wallpapers to figure this out.
If we would knew this we could design our own wallpapers or could change others to fit on the n10
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 10 mit Tapatalk 2
The exact size is 3966x2560.
I don't use the stock launcher, and usually set my wallpaper not to scroll in ADW EX and Apex.
So Wallpaper Wizardrii with the No Scroll and Stretch options on a 2560x1600 image is perfect for me.
Quick pic did a good job for setting my wallpaper. It still cropped it a little but it was far less than the default gallery does

Wall paper issue, any permanent solutions?

I have scoured the four corners of the Earth looking for a permanent solution to the wallpaper scaling issue since November and I have yet to see a solution. I have been using wallpaper wizard and it works but after switching between horizontal and vertical. Anyone know of any permanent solutions without cropping?
This works flawless for me...

This might sound weird, but i had this issue too. I was using Nova Launcher and wallpaer wizardrii and for a while thought it was a Nova issue. I switched back to stock launcher and then applied a default wallpaper and too my surpise the same issue happened.
On a whim ive uninstalled Wallpaper Wizardrii, went back to Nova and installed a full res wallpaper again using Quickpic and since then i have not had the issue, however i only did this yesterday so i cant claim it is Wallpaper Wizardrii thats definately causing it yet.
However, normally, i would have had the problem by now.
Simple Image Wallpaper Free is what I used to use, and it worked great, for Landscape anyway. Wasn't all that pleased with portrait with the wallpaper I had, but the experience will be different depending on what your wallpaper is. You can also choose a whole different image just for portrait mode too.

I tried it but the image quality seem to be lacking. Maybe I will try the nova launcher

The problem is that wallpapers are too low res. Get 5120 x 3200 wallpapers from wallpaperswide and then apply them with picspeed
Real Wallpaper Scaling Fix!!
I have finally found a complete and real fix for the wallpaper scaling issue when selecting an image that is of high resolution for the wallpaper. Download the app "Simple Image Wallpaper Free" and then download the images in the resolution that you want. This app is actually not installed in the app drawer but is installed under "Live Wallpaper". If you press and hold on the main desktop screen, select "wallpaper", then "Live Wallpapers", after this you select "Simple Image Wallpapers Free". Next you will click "settings" and click the option that says "Fill Screen" and put your high res images in where it says "select image." You can also have the wallpaper switch to a different image upon rotation of the screen.

I have scoured the four corners of the Earth looking for a permanent solution to the wallpaper scaling issue since November and I have yet to see a solution. I have been using wallpaper wizard and it works but after switching between horizontal and vertical. Anyone know of any permanent solutions without cropping?

What scaling issue are you referring to?
I also use wallpaperswide.com along with simple image wallpaper.

Wallpaper issues seem to go away for my dad when all alternative lauchers are removed. I don't know if that can help someone else, but try it.
Remove all other launchers (nova, go, etc.)
Reset your wallpaper using just the gallery option, not alternative image viewers such as justpictures or quickpic.
See if that makes a difference.
It works for my dad's Nexus 10. I haven't had the issue, since I don't use alternative launchers anyway.

Simple Image Wallpaper leaves a think black bar at the bottom of my screen when I use extended desktop.
(Using Apex Pro for launcher)

No bars here.
Extended desktop?

I think he means:
{
"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"
}
It hides the top and bottom system bars, basically letting whatever is shown on your screen, take up the whole screen. Only possible on custom ROM's though.
