I customized some wallpapers for my S4 to not scale or scroll and figured id share these awesome dark wallpapers (make sure to toggle portrait when setting) i went ahead and loaded 3 out of the 23 so you can get an idea. added 13 more in them a few spooky looking ones for those that wanted DARK wallpapers
Thanks for the pics. I've been looking for some nice carbon fiber like a dark weave. Makes the widgets and apps streams or much better. Thanks again

Thanks I like the dark walls myself...
Dark is good
I like dark walls as well. Less detail too. The more contrast the more difficult it is to see the icons and widgets.

I noticed you went with 1080 x 1920 dimensions so it wouldn't scroll. I can't decide which size works best. I've used 1920 x 1080 and it still doesn't allow scrolling. It just crops to fit the screen. Same thing if I resize by 50%. I notice the walls posted on the site loveEA mentioned are 200% larger (2160 x 1920).
What size are the original image shipped with the Galaxy?

So I was reading some comments comparing the SGS II and Galaxy Nexus on a website and I read this comment.
18. remixfa posted on 29 min ago 0 0
basically everthing the SGS2 got dinged for was Gingerbread related, other than the screen. The screen isnt that big of a deal, they are both top of the line screens and its already been proven you can take the SGS2's screen and make it 720p.
What does this person mean? How can it be changed if the screen is 800x480?
Also, does anyone know how to get the saturation options from the international SGS II and Sprint SGS II to the AT&T SGS II? All the other saturation adjusting apps don't work right.

where did you read/find out that was possible? i strongly believe you cannot change the resolution, its hardware, not software. You can change the density, which will give you the illusion that the res is higher, but its not. and also, when you change the density, a lot of things on the phone won't be scaled correctly. if you can, please provide a link to find this info...

It has? Show us the proof then.
Note: Good luck finding this proof, as it's impossible to do this. Changing to 720 would require changing out the entire AMOLED panel. Also, remember the GNex uses a PenTile screen, so its subpixel density is about the same as ours.
Well because it was a comment on a article, I didn't feel it was necessary to include the link. I wanted to see if anyone heard of this as I thought that since it's a hardware issue, it can't be changed.
Do any of you have any idea about the saturation option I was talking about? Can that option be proted to the AT&T SGSII?

Thanks. I couldn't find anything about the Hellraised ROM you mentioned in regards to the saturation issue. Can you help me with what I need to do? I'm running CM 7.1 so I don't know if that causes any issues.

Guys If you see lower on the comments he sais there is an app for it!! I want to know more about this!!
---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------
Found an app on the market. It's called: LCD Resolution (Root)
made by: wemobs Labs
You can't use 'software' to put more pixels into 'hardware'.
Technically speaking Lcd Resolution lowers the screen quality. Say it takes 100 pixels to display one letter of a word. Lcd resolution changes the display so that same letter is smaller and now made up of only 80 pixels. Not as smooth edges.
I love the app. I have it running right now. Seems 192 is ideal for me. Makes my screen feel like it's as large as it really is. More screen, not just bigger icons.

All that does is change icon and text sizes by fooling apps into thinking your screen is higher or lower density than it really is.
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.
I was trying to make a wallpaper based on stock which would look good on my white note 4. Tried different ones, then I thought why not upload them, who knows, someone might like them.
Also take a look at the next posts:

Made these for black S5. Maybe they look good on black note 4 (black note 4 is not pure black, it's a bit grey) but you can try . 1080p should be fine, since samsung stock wallpapers aren't 1440p either.
Smooth and clean wallpapers
HQ QHD wallpapers made with love for your beastly device. To be honest I made them for the new S6 and S6 edge (based on phone's color), but they look cool on the note 4 too no doubt. Download the .zip file for max quality since xda compresses image files decreasing image quality. Hope you guys like them.
I never leave comments about wallpapers as they are all average, but love these!
Awesome!
Do you have a zip file for the OP images?

Not all of them due to overwriting. Here are 8 with full res and quality. Didn't know xda compression was so strong.

Post you oled friendly wallpaper here, resolution 2560x1600
download zip file as the thumbnail is just an example and is not the correct size.

I noticed it on my Axon 7 phone which has a QHD display too.
icons are probably incorrect resolution, 2k screen isn't that popular. Also you might have smart resolution on, (i never notice it and therefore doubt it does anything at all)

Smart resolution is off but screen (especially fonts) arent very smooth. Maybe its the EMUI ROM

technically, the IPS screen would be better, as it has RGB layout instead of pentile.
But the resolution on both is high enough you probably can't tell the difference anyway.
I think its strange youtube will never give an option of more than 1080p

Currently the "smallest width" is set to 627 dpi. Would you recommend boosting that up to 800 dpi then?

I came from TAB S and 800 dpi ("smallest width") gave me same experience. Only issue is that, every reboot reset this dev value to 756. (+ in settings/display view mode: small; font size: normal)

Quick question, how do you get it to stick after reboot? Mine keeps going back to 627 dpi.

I boost mine to 915 (I think!), though I have to bump up the font size if I do that. Having come from a Tab S, that seems closer to a similar use of screen real estate (e.g. in YouTube, it shows 5 videos per row on the home page). Unfortunately, it means the other settings can no longer be accessed, so I need to reboot if I want to change anything
I'm surprised that more people aren't complaining about this. I think Huawei have simply taken the interface from the 8.4 version without any changes, so things are just bigger all round but you get no advantage to choosing the 10.8 version

Someone had posted just last week that the M5 feels like a large phone and not a tablet, likely due to it not identifying itself as a tablet. This causes annoyance with some apps as they draw as if they are on a phone, which when stretched to a tablet screen not not good. Instead of making use of the extra screen space and resolution, things just becomes hard to use.

I have mine set to 1250 dpi and I love it. So much real-estate, looks clean, higher quality and since its on the Resurrection Remix Rom, the dpi stays at that custom number even after reboot. Some things are hard to tap at times but I use GMD gestures and control the tablet with gestures and tasker

The Resurrection Remix Rom makes things easy to set a better resolution that works well for the bigger screen real-estate ☺
