This site has already made sized wallpaper for the note with good quality. It takes a load off of some people by having to resize.
Click on the image, then go to other resolution, under mobile you should see 800x1280 click then download! It fits the note perfect!
Enjoy
Wow. Awesome, thanks.

I don't see a setting for 800x1280 on any of the images. Just 1280x800. Big difference. Are you choosing resize? Do you mean to click on the image twice from the main page? Or once from the gallery, then choose the resolution from the dropdown menu?
Because i don't see it at all...and I've looked at a dozen different images.

Serious question: what's the difference, other than portrait vs. Landscape?

all the difference? lets say the wallpaper features something where orientation matters (not a pattern) for example, then it would look retarded to have lets say, a building, flipped sideways since most ppl and most launchers, are used in portrait mode.

I think a lot of people are using the phone in landscape, I know I am, and so this works for me.
But I do realize this is a problem for portrait.
Recent images are not sized for the note untill a week later! But go into catagory and you good to go.

Most people use their phone as a phone in portrait mode. The only time i go intimately landscape is when im in an app.
If you use a 1280x800 wallpaper, it will either be pixelated, or will have black bars on the top and bottom in portrait mode.
The use case for landscape mostly consists of games, video, or browsing. All cases where your not in the launcher. But when youre initiating a phone call, text message, or other phonely activities...you generally dont want to have to use two hands.
If its a pattern you can rotate it, and then apply it. But most cool wallpapers arent orientation neutral.
To get the 800x1280 wallpapers:
1. Click on a category. Ex. 3D
2. Click on mobile
3. There is no option for 800x1280, so on the end of the url add "/800x1280"
It will show all the wallpapers with 800x1280 resolution in that category now.

Hey guys,
Thought we should start a wallpaper thread for the Nook... I just posted 413 of them to my Photobucket account...
http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb86/911jason/Tablet Wallpaper/?start=all
I recommend Wallpaper Set & Save to improve image quality on all of your Android Wallpapers, it's free!
For anyone wanting to create their own, the size should be 1200x1024.
I recommend World Tour. It doesn't have the sharpest images, but it's pulling pictures from live webcams around the world. I just set it to random and automatic update once an hour. It scales the images properly for the Nook. I've been using it on my G1 practically since I got the phone.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-jraf-android-latoureiffel-ACx.aspx
I use app called Backgrounds, takes photos from flickr and the aspect ratio / scaling seems ok.
I like the HD Rare Black Wallpapers. They show up sharper than most of the other "HD" background/wallpaper apps.
Good stuff. Might want to mention the image requirements. I believe they should be 1200 x 1024.
Nice collection.

SOLVED
Jason, Thanks so much for those beautiful photos you placed in your Photo Bucket for use on our NCs. I wonder if you can figure something out for me. Last week I downloaded about 14 of those photos to my pc and one way or another they made it to my NC. The neat things was, that they showed up in my Wallpaper as well as my photo gallery. Because they were in the wallpaper settings, I didn't have to do anything to them at all to get them on my home screen. They were perfect, full picture, wonderful resolution, and worked on the three home screen setting. I have no idea how I got them into that wallpaper section, darn it!
Since that time, my NC has gone through many restore-to-stock and nooters, etc. Now I'm back to 1.1 and auto-nooter v3. Everything is working well, but I can no longer find your pictures in the wallpaper section, only in the Picture gallery. The ones in the picture gallery are not the correct size and no matter what I do, I can't get them to work for me (I'm not very knowledgeable about Android, as you can probably tell.) Last week, when they were sitting in the wallpaper section, the pre-installed pictures from the Nook Color and even pictures of some of my book covers were also there. Do you have any idea how I might be able to get your pictures back into the wallpaper section? BTW - at the time they were working so beautifully, I was in 1.0.1 auto-nootered. Sorry for the long message, but I'm not having any success. I want them just the way they were last week! They were perfect!
TIA
Sue
nm - I figured out how to get them to my wallpaper. Thanks again,
Sue
So I used the Photobucket app and went into settings, checked hi res download option. Changed search to people in the dropdown. Searched for 911jason. Clicked a wallpaper, open menu click download, when it fails I selected set as wallpaper. Looks perfect on rooted 1.1 stock. Thanks!

Sue (or anyone else for that matter) can you elaborate on what you did to get an image to show up in the wallpapers section? I have a few backgrounds that I bounce in between frequently and would be grateful for a tip!

Let's see if I can this right.
I downloaded the images I wanted from 911Jason's Photobucket and put them on my pc. Then connected my NC using the USB cable. I then navigated to the NC <MyNookColor> and then to <MyFiles> and then to <Wallpapers>. I did a drag and drop of the pictures I wanted into the Wallpapers Folder. FWIW - I first tried using "send to" from drop down menu and it didn't take. The drag and drop worked fine. (911Jason's pictures were perfect for me because they are the correct size and I don't know how to use the Wallpaper apps yet.)
Hope this helps.
Sue
Thanks, I'll try that out!
A good place to go scouting for wallpapers is hdrwallpapers.com. Here's my current NC background:
http://www.hdrwallpapers.com/the_tornado-wallpapers.html
--ex
Another good place to go for wallpapers is deviantart.com and search for the resolution you want (1200x1024). A ton of the wallpaper apps rip their images from this site.
I'm not sure I'm having the same problem as others, with the wallpaper. Maybe I am. But my wallpaper shows up very large. The actual size is 700 x 1000, when I check it in Photoshop. I received it as part of a skin from DecalGirl. I would think, given the size requirement of 600 x 1024 (for one screen), this would be pretty close to perfect. But whenever I set wallpaper, the image gets blown up. I've tried using a picture of my daughter (which is 2400 x 3000), and it gets blown up, too. Her face is huge.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Help?
Okay, just tried using Wallpaper Set & Save, as I've seen others suggest, and that changed nothing. It's still really huge.

Dude, oh my goodness!! These are the kind of wallpapers I have been looking everywhere for my Hero. These looks awesome on the nook. Gonna post a screenie in the other thread asap.
WallpaperCASA is an awesome app that has a big selection and is setup really well. I use this now for the nook and it works superbly.
I just made a new background image for my phone, however when I try to apply it, the top of the image is being chopped off, and thus I can not see the top of the background I made when I am looking at my homescreen.
It looks as if you have tried to make an image that is "twice as high" as the phones resolution, and this means I only see roughly the lower half of the background image i just made.
Question is, how do i fix it so it looks right?

Well I just downloaded it. And it won't let me select the image I want to use however. It only shows 10 or so images overall and I have close to 1000 or more overall on the phone.
I would however prefer a tip/solution that evolved around using the native apps however.
Edit the picture and add a black border to the sides. The picture should be 960x800 or something in this ratio. But then you have to disable wallpaperscrolling in your launcher.

Why not just add borders to the top and bottom of the image instead?. It would make sense considering the image is supposed to be scrolling vertically
Dont know which launcher you are using then
The wallpaper is scrolling horizontally (for most people ) and is therefore twice your Phones width (in pixels) and the original height
960x800

Sorry I always tend to confuse those two . And I am using Go Launcher Ex. So 960*800 or at least that aspect ratio.
Yes! 960 width and 800 height

Is there any way to set a wallpaper without having it zoom in. Every wallpaper sets with a zoom altering the original image, no matter how I set it.
Sent from my EVO LTE using Tapatalk 2
When you select the wallpaper and the bounding box appears, you can stretch it out so that it covers the whole image. If the image is the right size (1440x1280) it won't zoom, and even though it will say cropping, it won't crop. Check the link in my sig for some correctly sized wallpapers to peruse.
Do this like I write and u should be able to use the whole screen photo with no zooming.
Go into gallery and select ur photo. When the menu comes up select set as wallpaper and not wallpaper option. There are 3 different formats u can use. Select the wide screen one or panaroma type style.
The whole picture will be used instead of having to crop manually and it will still be scrollable.
Thanks if I helped u.

Why is it when you try to use a picture you have taken on the phone as a wallpaper it makes you crop it and then stretches it to make it fit the screen? Why doesn't it show just like you are looking at it? I have tried resizing with no luck. Any suggesstions?
Do u mean scrollable? Bc it has to stretch to fit the screen. Otherwise there would be black on the sides. Idk if picspeed wallpaper apk did it or it was there previously, but there's a custom option that doesn't mess with the pic size as much.
This picture for example. You see how at first the whole picture is displayed but the crop area only allows at the most, half the picture to be displayed.

Try downloading picspeed wallpapers. It gives u the options I have above. When u go to gallery>pic>more>set as>wallpaper it will show like mine were u can select the whole photo.
Works better than the stock wallpaper setting.

No, I didn't, but I wish I did lol. Saw it on some chan site and used it as my wallpaper. Pretty funny in a cute way.
So as we all know if you use your own images for wallpaper that the images turn out cropped and blurry. I was using Simple Image Wallpaper Free but a couple months back the application started to crash and not work prop. The app will no longer let me choose images from my gallery or SD card but instead only allows me to use images from a setup Google account which does not show all my images. When I do select an image it crashes every time.
So I'm now looking for a new app that will let me use my own images without cropping then to crap and making them look blurry as crap. I have tried Image to Wallpaper and I do not like it and it doesn't work that we'll.
Please help. I would love to make my own images for backgrounds. Thanks
QuickPic will do the job well. Its free on the play store.

Uh, no?
I've never had this issue as long as I've used an image with a suitably high resolution. Since the display resolution on the tablet is 2560x1600, I'd recommend using a source image at least that large. Preferably larger, since it will crop it a little by default to properly format it for both portrait and landscape orientations.

This is an issue and I think you need to take a look better. If you setup a 2560x1600 image for your wallpaper you will be pushed to crop the image. Now you easily make the image look clean and crisp by cropping the image to the size of the photo and it looks wonderful BUTTTTTT if you flip your tablet long ways you will see the image for the wallpaper does not cover the full screen and instead your left with a black top and bottom border cause you image doesn't fit.
Now,,,,,,,,, let's go back to choosing a wallpaper again and when we are left with the option to crop but instead we don't crop like before but instead we make sure our crop markers show horizontal and diagonal view so that the image for the wallpaper will be seen covering no matter what angle we are using the tablet,,,,,,,, well guess what?????? Now your image has been blurred and looks like crap.
I don't know how long you have had your tablet but I've had mi he since the day it was released in stores. When the tablet came out this was an issue everyone was b***hing about non stop but now one wants to help me here. I cannot even find the write ups and threads from this issue anymore. There were threads where others had the same issue but your telling me 136 stupid idiots can view my post and thread and ignore to help as if nothing is wrong or they don't care?
What a useless forum and group of people here. Thanks to the two who replied. But this is an issue that had been addressed by everyone in the beginning too. This was also an issue with the previous Note 10.1 and also the 2014 edition. Its by fault Android which makes you crop.
Again look...

Relax brother, android can be a bit of a crap shoot when it comes to stuff like this. Even on the same device, we're all running different roms/tweaks/dpi settings/etc. I can vouch that your issue affects my setup as well, but it may be different for some of the others here.
Seriously though, did quickpic work for you? If not I'll see if I can find something else that will since I can replicate the issue.

Thank you for recommending the app but unfortunately it didn't work. With images your given three options for wallpaper cropping which are photo, Google photos and Quickpic. Tried all three and same issue, it crops the images to the point your left with a blurry image.
Simple Image Wallpaper was the best and I miss having it work. No worry of cropping and worked in landscape and portrait mode.
Thanks for recommending Quickpic but still no fix.
Guess what? Good news got it working with Simple Image Wallpaper but had to download the pro version for 99 cents to get it to work. Happy again. I recommend anyone having this issue to download it. You can now choose a different image for landscape and portrait separate or keep it the same. Doesn't blur the image, doesn't crop the image and uses the whole photo. I use 2560x1600 images which is the display is and I get a 2560x1600 wallpaper.
