Whenever I apply a wallpaper, the quality is really bad as if the phone compresses the wallpaper and then applies it. It never applies the whole wallpaper, rather it zooms in on a section. I even tried downloading flikie wallpapers HD and applying it from there but again, the end product is a zoomed, blurry version of the picture. Is there any way to fix this?
you need to use the wallpaper of correct resolution like 1280 x 720 or 1280 x 1440.
btw use Q & A section to ask questions

you can try this app, it will at least let you choose a widescreen image without it being cropped...

NOPE!
If you use stock touchwizz: 720*1280
If you use modified scroll-touchwizz (with another gallery app): 1440*1280

Hey, does anyone know what the optimum resolution for a Wildfire wallpaper would be? I'm going by the assumption that users will have HTC Sense enabled and will have 7 screens to scroll through.
It doesn't matters. When you choose a wallpaper to apply you can crop it to fit Just drag the frames and the selection will be enlarge

Yeah I know that works, I just wondered if there was a resolution in which the picture didn't need cropping or anything.
480x320 is the resolution for wallpaper,with this resolution you cover 7 screens of htc sense.

Works like a charm, thanks dude
Use Wallpaper Set & Save when applying a bakground image, it will give you the best quality rather than the stock method that somehow lowers the image quality.

Hello everyone!
I was wondering what are the best pictures/wallpapers to put in our Home Screen?
I just tried some but the final result was always disappointing...
Can you give me some pictures and tipos to make a good homescreen only by changing images...
Thank's!
If you're using the default S.E. homescreen, then using a PC, resize/crop your images to exactly 480x320 then make sure you don't crop the image further when setting it as wallpaper on the phone (i.e. make sure the handles are dragged out all the way
Also, saving as PNG is often nicer, as you won't get any compression artifacts, that can make the image look ugly on the phone
Here are a couple of wallpapers I've resized to the right format
You can check out these wallpapers, they are the correct size:

Nice collection
Another trick I learnt from a different blog to get the right sizes is get images in the size of 960 x 854
Check out this blog post and a few wallpapers there too . . . . For later searches simply go to Mobile9 or DroidForums for wallpapers in the 960 x 854 size

I'd be interested in the answer to your question, but if you want some good wallpaper while you are waiting, make sure you are searching for qHD wallpapers for other qHD phones, such as the Atrix.
Alternately, you can search for a specific size image with google image search online. Standard is twice the width, by the height of your screen.
qHD = 540x960
Wallpaper = 1080x960
Good luck making your own.
What I do is take an image that has a higher pixel size than what our screen has and crop it to 1080 x 960. The thing is, it doesn't get as sharp as I'd like. I feel like it should be super sharp. Icons are super sharp, why not the wallpaper, ya know. Does it have something to do with the screen itself?
Using the size parameters mentioned in the previous posts you can use photoshop or gimp (free!) and create your own custom wallpapers.

I noticed when viewing an image in the gallery and zooming it in to the size of the screen the picture is crystal clear, but when you set it as a wallpaper it gets a little pixelated so we know its not the hardware or picture itself. Could someone explain this, maybe the software could be tweaked? Try it out, the attached picture is a good example but it does it with all pictures.
Problem solved
What happens is that android compresses the pictures too much when setting them, causing distortion. Using an app called "Wallpaper Set And Save" sets the wallpaper and makes it crystal clear!
Ive been trying to find out what resolution the android wallpapers are for the nexus 10.
I rooted mine today and found out where the wallpapers are located and the resolution is 3966 x 2560
Just thought id post for anyone looking for wallpapers or making there own
Strange resolution. Seems like we might be able to get even more detail out of the wallpaper with a greater resolution? I'd recommend taking a look at websites with wallpapers designed for multiple monitors to get something that large.

Resolution seems fine.
Remember, that when you set up the wallpaper, you only use the part of the image - you use the full height of it - 2560 - for portrait, and then for landscape, you use 2560 + something for scrolling. And remember, that this 2560+something isnt the full width of an image, so 4k x 2.6k seems about right.
(and i dont like that they dont allow to use full image for landscape and forces to use middle part of it....
and where i can find wallpapers with 3966 x 2560 resolution^^

Wallpaper wizardrii has a new update coming with 2560 resolution working. No cropping whatsoever on full resolution photos. Looks amazing. He'll update soon after I finish testing beta.
You wont really find any wallpapers with that resolution, go for larger resolutions that are more common like 5120 by 3200
here are some that should look good on the screen: http://wallpaperswide.com/5120x3200-wallpapers-r.html
thx for the answers. another question, does the stock android dont support different wallpaper on home and lockscreen? thx
I've found 2400x1600 fit perfectly, I'm writing an app to set wallpapers on N10, from what I've seen so far, it's setting them perfectly.

Where are they located?
The wallpaper are located in /system/apps then go to the launcher app and extracted it to wherever you want, then go to location where you extracted it /res/drawable-sw720dp-nodpi and the wallpapers should be there.
can you please pump the stock wallpaper out? i really like them but i flashed into PA rom..
+1 please post stock collection here . i missed them after paranoid firmware:'(

Don't download these samples from xda since it kills the quality. I have a bunch more but they're too big to upload. Gonna post a link to download what I've got when I get a chance

How come when I use a 2560 x 1600 wallpaper I have to crop it.
If I convert to 1920 x 1080 I still have to crop it.
Is there any way I can set the wallpaper without having to crop?

When you do set as wallpaper on a 2560 x 1600 you only get the option to crop.
Always had this issue on android.
Never mind though found a workaround using an app called image 2 wallpaper which works a treat.
I use this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ridgelineapps.simpleimagewallpaper choose wallpaper, simple image, settings, select image, back button, set wallpaper
Yeah, but since wallpaper on android devices slides when scrolling through left and right, you'll need 2560 x 2560 to cover whole background.
