I use samsung's 4.1.2 JB official os PDA-I9100XWLS8. I downloaded images from 2048x2048 to 960x800 and every single one of them is being ruined when I set it as my wallpaper. It is very easy to spot that bad quality if you want to set image with gradients as your wallpaper. Is it samsungs gallery app fault? How to fix this?
Maybe the image was poorly resized. If this is the case,try to resize it on the PC using EasyThumbnails or use an online image resizeer.

There is new version of crop wallpaper in market and this version can use define size of cropped picture.
Archos101 display is 1024x600
If those settings are set, I still get wrong size to wallpaper and tried many variations, but all are crappy.. HD pictures look like zoomed thumbs when set as wall.
Question: anyone knows what resolution should be set, to get best picture quality ??

The size needs to be 1200x1024 but in landscape mode only the top 600px are shown. in portrait mode everything is shown. that is the problem with wallpapers on android.
There is no way around that unless you resize you picture to 1200x1024 and leave the bottom 424px empty.
Or else use Multipicture live wallpaper but that is a big drain on resources.
This always happens unless the image was taken by NASA or something, the image is ample size and very good quality, yet when I set it it becomes very blurry, lock or home screen.
Its very crispy when I pinch to zoom as well, whats going on here? How do I fix it?
Download QuickPic from the market and ignore or freeze the stock Gallery app. It downsizes the resolution of wallpapers. QuickPic is fast, cleaner, and doesn't cut corners. It's also free.

Ive had quickpic for a while now, and Its giving me the same exact problem.
I use Wallbase as a wallpaper app, and when I set the wallpaper from inside Wallbase, its crispy and perfect. Its only when I set the wallpaper via Gallery or any other image viewer that it becomes blurry.
I'm pretty sure it's zooming in on the picture which in turn makes it blurry, right? As to a fix, not sure myself.

I assume that what's happening. It happens with literally every single picture though
If you are downloading from wallbase on your phone, make sure you tap the image until it shows the tooltip for 100% before you long press to save it. I've run into the same thing. Also, make sure the image you are downloading is at at least 960x800 for full resolution as wallpaper.
I might be confusing you guys.
When I set the wallpaper via Wallbase, its fine.
When I save the wallpaper from wallbase (or anywhere for that matter), and set it as my wallpaper via Gallery or QuikPic, then it becomes blurry. Wallbase isnt the problem.
Thanks
If you have the "scrolling" background image enabled, make a new document in photoshop, or your image editor of choice, and make it 960x800 pixels, then resize your image to that and save as png then move to phone. Somehow the default resize for these phones makes it blurry... but setting it to the correct resolution fixes it.
^^ setting the image resolution to 960 x 800 solves the blurry wallpaper problem.

Is it me or is the wallpapers that get assigned for backgrounds become bad quality. For example I have taken a picture with an SLR, sharp crisp image but when its assigned as a wallpaper the quality is lost! I love my sgs2 but i dont like the quality of wallpapers. Any tips?
Ive tried resizing but its not the same. Never had this problem with non android phones.
yes the pictures actually become low in quality when set as wallpaper on touchwiz ROMs, I was very pissed about it but found a solution.Resize the image to 960x800 and save it in .png format, it wont turn into crappy quality then or switch to ICS or AOSP ROMs.
Download wallpaper set and save from the market and use it to set your wallpaper. Quality will remain

Hi.
I'm trying to set a wallpaper on my Tablet S.
I've read that ICS uses 1920 x 1280, but when I set it it doesn't look right.
All I want is the stock ICS wallpaper.
I've seen the Tablet S Template PSD file, but I don't know how to use it.
Can anyone help?
wallpaper wizardrii

Yes, the full scale H x V dimensions for Sony Tablet S ICS wallpaper images is 1920 x 1280 pixels, but the images must be cropped if they are to be displayed correctly.
Sony explains how to select a wallpaper image in ICS HERE. To the best of my knowledge, Sony has not yet released a video showing how to crop an image in ICS, however, they do show how to crop an image in HC in this VIDEO located at YouTube's web site. Cropping a wallpaper image in ICS is done pretty much the same way as it was in HC.
I provided a wallpaper image template and explained the pixel dimensions and viewable areas of wallpaper images HERE. I hope you find the template and information useful.
I make my own wallpaper images using an image editing program on my PC then copy them to my tablet into a folder I created and named /sdcard/Pictures/Wallpapers. Any images stored in the tablet's /sdcard/Pictures folder and its subfolders can be previewed and chosen via the "Gallery" selection on the "Choose wallpaper from" pop-up that appears whenever you long-press on any blank area near the center of the tablet's screen. You can also get to the "Gallery" selection via Settings > Display > Wallpaper.
Of course, you could always download and install wallpaper apps, but most of them are advertisement based and they never provided the control you can have by making your own wallpaper images and cropping them yourself.
I hope you find my reply helpful.

I also have installed the Simple Image Wallpaper app that your link leads to. It is actually a free, open source, non-advertisement based Live Wallpaper app. It works well, IMHO. One nice feature of the app is it allows for using different images for landscape and portrait mode.
Simple Image Wallpaper works best with images whose pixel resolution is the same as the screen of the telephone or tablet the app is installed on. For the Sony Tablet S in landscape mode, images that are 1280 x 752 pixels work best. In portrait mode, images that are 800 x 1232 pixels work best.
If the image is not 1280 x 752 or 800 x 1232 pixels, Simple Image Wallpaper will rotate the image if necessary for best fit, then stretch or shrink the image, and then crop the image until it fits the tablet's screen. This will sometimes cause parts of the image to be unviewable or to be displayed in a mode opposite to the intended landscape or portrait mode. Still, it's a great app.
Had expected lag what with it being a live wallpaper, but none at all, fantastic!

Sorry to give this thread one hell of a bump but Simple Image Wallpaper just saved my sanity! Thanks, the word needs to be spread about this. I tried all the other "apps" and I can't get an image to display correctly in landscape mode to save my life. I'm using this on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It took me a minute to find it though under "wallpaper>live wallpaper" because it does not appear in my app drawer.
Thanks again! :good:
Hello, what's the corret size for JB sammy ROM wallpapers. Most pitures I download for 480x800 need to crop to half height which also makes image very low quality because it's resized then to match TWUI sizes. So what are optimal resolution or ratio I should download for wallpaper?
Also it's not scrolling, like does on Apex/Nova launchers, so it's very limited and IMO regress to ICS ROMs.
Wallpaper size hasn't changed from ICS to JB because the resolution of the screen has remained the same since the phone was released.

found 800x667 is correct size, still cropped but just a little
