Wallpaper Question - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello ...
I am trying to find out how to get the perfect sized wallpaper for my nexus 7. No matter what size I download, I always get the cross cropping tool android supplies.
I know to manipulate images, but how do I find out what the exact resolution I need for my nexus 7.
Thanks for all the help ...

If you're asking for the resolution of the Nexus 7 then it's 1280-by-800. I'm not too sure though if you're asking a more complicated question.

Install Quickpic, set wallpaper from that

might fit into your expectations

Thanks Guys ... QuickPic is wicked. Much better that stock.
But I was hoping to make a few of my own, and have no idea what the exact dimensions I would design for ...
Thanks again, this place is the best!

Wallpaper Resolution

Hi all,
I have just updated my system to the official O2 2.1. However, the wallpaper does not take the normal 800*444 anymore.
Does anyone know what's the resolution for the 2.1 wallpapers?!
Cheers!
Hi all,
I don't know if it's just me being stupid or others have the same problem with it.
I have been asking and searching around different forums to find a solution to this problem, but no one seems to have any ideas.
So I decided to play around with different resolutions.
This one works quite perfect for me, it fits in within the orange crop box.
Give it a try guys and tell me what you guys think.
Resolution: 747*298 (i knwo it's a wierd resolution, but it works perfet)
Cheers!
Try 1000 x 400 I think that's it.

Android UI and UX (Just converted from iPhone to Android)

Hello everyone,
For like 2 year now I still have iPhone 3G which was very relaxing (but now slow) so when I thought of update I thought about getting Android
So I got the Galaxy S2, It's a great phone with great hardware but I really guys dont know what exactly to tell you or what to say
but I find iPhone way more relaxing than Android and I really can't tell why
maybe the colors maybe the design of the android it self I really dont know
even though a lot of apps are available and everything is customizable but still
something is wrong for me and I dont know what it is, the motion and effects of the iphone are smoother or just better and gives you this great feeling and its not what it is on android
Also the keyboard, even though my screen is 4.3 inches and the keyboard is larger but I find that iPhone's keyboard is better it just feels good
My hope is very high with ICS 4 that Google would take care of UI and UX better than that, also organizing everything to make it easier or something
I know I'm not accurate but I just wanted to tell you guys to tell me what you really think and if its me only or everyone and also if you have a solution for this
Thanks

Iphone uses a very high resolution IPS LCD screen ("retina" is just a fancy marketing word for that), not AMOLED based like the Samsung phones (thus color reproduction will not be the same). If you don't like the default colors, try another theme (system themes require root to change, launcher themes do not).

Try a different launcher. Something like Go Launcher is pretty close the iphone. If that's not enough, try the MIUI ROM (requires root) for your phone if you haven't. MIUI is as close as you will get period to having an iphone while still having an android phone.

Try another keyboard than the one the phone comes with (such a swype or swiftkey)? Generally the stock keyboard sucks.
Most iphone users that just start on android are not aware of the many replacement options (or if they are, they're not aware of specific ones that would solve their issues).
There's a saying that goes something like "If one is given infinite choices, some people will never be happy (since that they will forever think there is something better than what they currently have), but if one is told what choices they have, then they just grin and bear it, because that's all there is."
First thanks for your reply
but I already have Go Launcher and its okay for now
but actually I would like to install MIUI but I have a problem, I dont have a SD Card on my Galaxy S2 its just the internal memory so is there's anyway to install it without SD Card just using the internal memory ?
in both ways I will wait for android 4 I read about it and its really interesting that Google noticed that they have issues with their UI and I hope they solved this issue

Any good places to get Note Wallpapers?

Any good wallpaper zips? I need something other than the stock ICS one....any cool sources I should seek out? I thought this might be a good thread to have considering our special MASSIVE screen and distinct resolution.

Do a google search for images that are exactly 800x1280 or 799x1278 or1280x800 or 1278x799 for whatever subject appeals to you. I searched "star wars"/image/ width 799 /height 1278 and found this in the results you can find pretty much anything on Google just search it.

Difficulty Finding Wallpapers :9

Heya Guys,
I've been trying to customise my GSIII but I'm finding it really tough to find wallpapers that take full advantage of the resolution. I've noticed that 1280 x 720 wallpapers fit perfectly and appear really sharp as lockscreen images but they are really hard to find on Google Images.
I've also heard that 1440 x 1280 should work great as my home screen wallpaper yet it appears blurry and not very sharp ... Do you guys know any good places to find wallpapers? This is really disappointing since with my old phone I could have thousands to choose from.

There was a thread here @xda in general or app section with all the 1280x720 wallpapers. A search might bring you the thread.
It was titled some "HD wallpaper collection" or something like that.. not so sure..

Try downloading the zedge app, it has lots of wallpapers and it detects the device you are using...

On my phone, no matter the resolution, the lockscreen image will always appear blurry! i had to disable the s3 ripple effect (was using stock rom then) to make it clear again.
not sure whether this would help you. Anyway back on topic, for my phone i used resolution of 1440 x 900 and they looked great
Not to use sarcastic comments but a Google search would suffice
Click the images tab and then on the left look for advanced I think it is and then you can put your own res in
Hope this helps

This is definitly the best site for HD wallpapers: http://wallbase.cc
I've got a dozens of wallpapers, and I got all of them from refined Google Images searches.
A wp that looks good ("pretty!") on the PC screen doesn't necessarily work well as a wallpaper, specially if there will be lots of icons and widgets on top if it.
