[Q] Good app for finding Wallpapers?! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
Its got loads of wallpapers.
Various categories to choose from.
This is the one I use : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ogqcorp.bgh

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.

Bored of the Stock Launcher...Try out Windows 8 !

How to change lockscreen wallpaper

Press the menu button & select theme option...Swap to the right to find change lockscreen wallpaper option :thumbup:
ROM - Paranoid Android By ByteCode.
Sent via XDA App.
I installed and I liked it - for a day. On day 2 it started an update that was not a normal Play Store update. There were download notifications in chinese. Seems really suspucious epsecially considering where it was developed. Also the support web site is all chinese rendering it useless to a lot of people. Beware.
Guess u tried updating from the in-app update option.
I update only via google play hence did not come across this issue.

Windoss 8 style launcher is more boring.
Windoss 8 style is more boring, but not bad WP8 launcher... nice:good:
Used it for about hour and restored to Trebuchet... This is good for bigger phones (screen size OFC).
Have any of you experienced a lot of lag with this launcher? I'm used to launchers like nova and trebuchet that are nice and smooth while this one seems to be choppy. I like it a lot though

I like the WP8 stylt more than the Windows 8
anyway thanks for your sharing:laugh:
Awesome launcher... is very smooth and faster...

[REQ] App drawer icon

Does anyone have a high res app drawer icon? The one used by nova looks blurry to me.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Isn't there a high DPI icon setting, or is that only in cm10?
No there isn't. Anyone got a high res one or can make one please?
I just made one (or two) for you - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35719297&postcount=7.
Feel free to criticize it if it doesn't suit your needs.
Thanks, it looks great!

Wallpapers!

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.

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!
