I can't seem to find any wallpapers that look great besides the stock ones. I have the Backgrounds HD app, and the wallpapers are beautiful. They look great. However, once they're cropped down to fit the screen, they don't look anywhere near as great.
So, post your wallpapers! I could use some high quality walls that look great.
I agree. I want some nice looking wallpapers too

I think my problem is with my Nova setup. I set my home screen WP to not scroll as I like it set to infinite scrolling. When wallpapers are cropped to fit just the portrait part, it seems their quality diminishes by a lot.

550 1080x1920 Wallpapers for Galaxy S4
Tried Wallbase app?
Why don't just google for hd wallpapers.
All of the wallpapers from here fit perfectly.

use zedge... and if you hate the ads, get root, f droid, and adaway
I use pictures that I take myself. My car, dad's truck, siblings/family, etc. They all look great in 9.6 MP shots

HD wallpapers should be pretty easy to find. I know Google Play has tons of wallpaper apps, which include HD W.P's.... but you could also search Google images for any picture in general. Download it, and scale it down to size within Android when you apply it.
Check out MultiPicture if you want to use more than one image per screen
Been using origami live wallpaper...pretty cool looking. In the play store.

I just use Zedge. Most are more than "full HD." One I'm using for my lockscreen is 2160x1920

I also use Nova Launcher and chose portrait setting when setting a wallpaper, and I have set scroll to "off" in Nova settings . I use wallpapers from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nasthon.wpcasa , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appmox.artcasa , downloading a wallpaper chose the top "highest resolution setting", my favorites are under the Art/Design category. Also when initially setting a wallpaper, when you click on the menu button do not chose Nova, but go to System settings>My Device>Display>Wallpaper>"I choose" Home and lockscreen> then pick the wallpaper you downloaded form Casa HD, enjoy.
Reddit has some pretty nice ones!

Fair enough lol, make sure you have Overcome ROM flashed, don't think it works on other ROMs yet
Will do.. Are you trying the wallpapers on the stock launcher or adw?

ADW. Stock launcher is fine

Use multipicture live wallpaper or wizardrii to get a good crop or use full picture.

Don't know if it's a honeycomb feature or a TW one. Wallpapers are croped and resized in 5 parts (center, left, right, up, down).
It's just weird...
Its a honeycomb thing, because wallpapers have to be able to be in portrait and landscape view.

Use the APP wallpaper for tablets.. once installed it will appear under live wallpapers.. you can fiddle with it and set an image as background and it does a good job!

+1 for this. Use multipicture live - it's what the majority of people are using to fix this issue and you can set it up so that a double-tap will change your wallpaper to another (of those in the same picture folder).
Is there any mod to enable the scrolling wallpapers on the galaxy s3???
Id like to know too.

No it is not. It's Samsungs design feature not to scroll wallpapers.
Try wallpaper wizardrii, and choose "crop landscape". But I'm on Apex launcher so don't know if TW has it.
Again, APEX LAUNCHER HAS WALLPAPER SCROLLING if you use wallpaper wizadrii
It doesn't work ... it seems that is part of the system.

Well I thought so, because it's the same with all new sense phones!

Apex launcher add a new option to select the wallpaper and let you define the galaxy nexus background with scrolling effect.
After installing this launcher this new option persist. The drawback is that there is only one backgroud image... maybe it is possible to add new backgrounds with scrolling effecs if we find where they are placed...

Possible solution for Galaxy S3
I found this application, still beta version :
Scrolling Wallpaper
Andronymus
Description:
This live wallpaper is for devices which do not have the possibility to scroll the wallpaper image with the stock launcher. It is mainly designed for the Galaxy S3.
It is a replacement for the background wallpaper in the home screen.
PD: I can't not post the link because I'm a new user ...
-> the web is -> play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lwp.superluminar.swallpaper&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImx3cC5zdXBlcmx1bWluYXIuc3dhbGxwYXBlciJd
I cant find a reason why to do this.
I hope developers with custom roms fix this,because samsung sleeps...
Yep ... i agree with you...
lol thats stupid !
A live wallpaper is not a good solution, but is something ...

This is what you have to do.
Put whatever background you want to use on your web server.
Use the stock internet program to navigate to that picture.
Long press on the pic to bring up the menu.
Select "Set as wallpaper"
Finally, the wallpaper is scrollable. And use 1440 x 1280.
Just thought I'd share this H.R. Giger wallpaper I made for my Galaxy Note. I cropped it from Giger's Landscape XIX painting.
It works great as a lock screen wallpaper, especially if you're using Widget Locker with Android-themed sliders on the sides.
Wow! Love this wallpaper, thanks!
Although I think this is the wrong forum to post... just saying.

I didn't see any way to do it with the stock launcher. I use Nova, but all customs launchers offer it. If not need to wait stock tweaked launcher on custom's ROM.

Wizardrii works but I find it buggy mit keeps on resizing my wallpaper everytime
Sent from my C6802 using Tapatalk 4
I was trying to figure this out too. wizard wizardrii was buggy so I deleted it. tried nova launcher and hated it too. only thing I was able to do was resize picture to 1920x1080 on laptop and copy and paste it again like a double image. that works. it scrolls one picture to the next identical picture. lol alot of work for something so simple.

Already have Zedge and Picseed, but I'd like another. Preferably wallpapers that are good quality (HD), and also an app that has a lot of sports wallpapers would be nice. Thanks in advance
Try Background HD app.
