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

I'd like to make some custom wallpapers that will be compatible with every Android phone, can someone tell me what size they should be? Thanks.
That depends. Clicky
Could I just design them at a very high resolution, and they would scale down and still look good for phones with smaller resolutions?
I generally use computer wallpapers since the phone prompts you to crop & scales down accordingly. However, a lot of people notice better quality when using the correct size. I have cropped and resized all of my wallpapers to the correct size for my device (960x800) because I'm a wallpaper junkie. I have noticed that most people have a 480x800 display, which will use a wallpaper of 960x800 (twice the length, same height to allow for scrolling). Usually wallpapers made for Android - like the ones that come in wallpaper packs - are sized to 960x800. Newer devices are coming out with higher quality displays, and those with HTC Sense 3.0 don't have scrolling wallpaper, so 960x800 isn't future-proof. I would suggest making the wallpapers in a larger resolution, and offering both the high resolution to crop & scale, and an already resized version to 960x800 for the majority of current Android users.

the screen size of the mini pro is 320x480 and when I download a wallpaper (of the same size) and look at it in with the gallery app, it fits my screen exactly. but when I then want to set it as my wallpaper with gallery, apparently I can only use a part, at maximum half of it as max size? how come? how can I get wallpapers to be properly displayed at their full screen size?
Wallpapers need to be wide enough to cover 3 homescreens - due to the scrolling. It does not scroll more than 3 screens regardless of actual # of homescreens on your phone.
Therefore your wallpaper should be 960 x 480 for full coverage (3 x 320 by 480). Took me a while to work that out myself
thanks for letting me know
but then I wonder why people upload so many wallpapers with just the size for 1 screen?
edit: now Ive read that the best size is actually supposed to be 640x480, because apparently it doesnt move that far when scrolling

Erm.. yeah you're quite correct... but the principle was good
Thank's Good Info
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 currently on D4 rom. The rom has the ability for you to use the phone in tablet mode. What size should wallpapers be in a case like that?
I think 1280x800 but i am not sure
I never use wallpapers with exact size of the screen, I use any high resolution image that I like
Here is a very big collection of great wallpapers of any sizes: www.wallbase.cc
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.
