When I want to select a picture I got from my PC to my X8 in the correct resolution I still have to crop the picture to make it look pixelated and crap. Why does the X8 force me to do this?
hey its easy..the thing with picture is that the over all resolution of the wallpaper for x8 is greater than the resolution of the screen. like you may have more then one window like in case of three. the resolution would be like 320*3=940 into 480 res picture. if you want single slide then i think there is other wallpaper application which doesnot use the default wallpaper chooser program and got it own. right now i forget the name. but there is app for it.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but I set a picture to be my wallpaper and realised that at the home screen, it looks very blur. I checked the width and height of the picture and it is 480x800. Also when I view the picture in the photo gallery, it is much much sharper, like what it supposed to be.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks!
ave a look in the themes an apps section. 480 x 800 will show up unless you follows a guide on how to make it come up crystal.
Just do a search for Wallpaper Guide

I just tested my phone and no probs all wallpapers or pictures look great
Can I ask how you selected your wallpaper?
Was it through settings wallpaper?
or another method
I've also noticed this as some pics transfer fine and clear to the wallpaper and some look enlarged and blurry. I'm thinking it's the larger screen size vs. the pic resolution size. My pro at 2.8" was not an issue. It hasn't bothered me enough to seek a fix, I'm using mobile shell and selecting the change image option. Ureka!! thats it, the shell! Doh!!! just my $.02

yeah i had a diamond before this and the wallpapers looked great there.
but the funny part is that the pics look great and sharp when viewed in the photo gallery, but only becomes blur when used as wallpaper.
OH and they don't look enlarged lol. the wallpapaer keeps the size, but it's really blur.
Just use the search button and read the wiki, this is another one of those topics that have been done to death, there's heaps of information on it.
i made a wallpaper and made it 480x800 but when i try to set it as my wallpaper it make me select a small portion of the picture then it stretches that and make it the wallpaper. i can resize the selection but it maintains aspect ratio and still stretches it. is there way to just set the entire picture? or fit to screen?
The actual resolution, since sense pans the picture, is 960x800. I have no idea how to make it so the screen is fixed and you can just use 800x480. You can also drag the corners of the box to resize the part of the picture it uses
Download Wallpaper Set & Save on the market. Make a folder named Wallpapers on your SD card. Load it w/ wallpapers(.png files for better resolution) then launch the WS&S app and choose a pic. It'll do the rest for you. Hope this helps....

hey guys, im now using htc legend. i have a problem with their wallpaper function. when i try to set the wallpaper by using my own picture, it came out a green box for us to crop and select which part to display the image for wallpaper. can i ask what is the optimal / best resolution? the green box cant seem to stretch to the whole image, most of the time half of the picture only. i m looking forward to display the whole picture as my wallpaper.
sry for my bad english =[ any1 help plx
try getting pics with a resolution of 320*480.
market: wallpaper set & save
640*480 is the best resolution for your wallpapers, .png files will give the best result when using wallpaper set & save

Wallpaper set&save doesn't work, or better...it works but not in the correct way. If you read the comments on the market you'll see. The guy that made it said (lot of time ago) that he is working to make it works with Android 2.1 & 2.2.
I've lost my faith in that, so I just resize by myself the wallpaper I want to 640x480.
it just works great for me on my stock legend with android 2.1
dunno what your talking about :S
Hi,
Can someone please tell me when getting wallpapers for my homescreen which screen resolution i should be using?
Reason why is i downloaded some from zedge.net and before hand choose my mobile so it only showed wallpapers that are compatible with my phone.
They are 240 x 320. When i choose to set as homescreen wallpaper it shows a box on top of image althou i adjust the box to it's max the whole image is not within the box so ends up only the image that is within the white box is showing.
I am confused as i have some nice wallpapers but i can't benefit from them as the full image is not shown.
Can someone please advise what resolution i should be downloading them in or should i be doing something on the phone before hand to the image?
Thanks
MR
Use dodol wallpaper maker or wallpaper set and save. I usually have wallpapers of 320x480, 480x640 or 640x960.
Hi,
Thanks Dodol Wallpaper Maker has saved the day
Thanks
I make my wallpapers 480x320 in .png and they always work perfectly, and I'm always able to select them fully when cropping.
So, with my Fascinate, whenever I try to place a wallpaper, it brings up the cropping tool. But the cropping tool is a square. I turned off wallpaper scrolling, so cropping my screen size by eye using the square is difficult. Is there a tool that let's me crop to native 480x800 or whatever the Fascinate is without using the square?

If you get the Wallpaper Set and Save app, it should fix your issue. Best wallpaper app I've found.
Well... I kinda want something that let's me crop in a rectangular format.
If you're finding the image online, long-press it and select "Set as wallpaper". No cropping necessary
If I want something offcenter, though... I need rectangular crop.
I always crop my wallpapers on my computer first. I highly recommend the GIMP (google it). The crop tool will allow you to crop any image to the exact dimensions you specify.

+1. Gimp is great.
I use GIMP. What's the dimensions of the Fascinate?

I crop to 480 x 800 I think...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
That's if you have the moving wallpaper thing enabled. My whole issue is because I don't. :/
No, the full wallpaper is 960x800. A single screen is 480x800. Although, using a picture of that size still opens the crop tool. You'll need to find an alternate way to set the wallpaper other than long-pressing the home screen.
Edit: I just modified an existing pic I had that was 480x800 and set it in the middle of a 960x800 layer. Choosing it through the normal method and cropping it to the entire pic, gave me a full screen wallpaper in portrait mode. When it flips to landscape, you see an extra 160 pixels on each side, but if you get creative, you can make that look good as well.
Is there an app that I can crop to 480x800 and use WSS to set it, no problem?
There are couple of photo editing apps that crop, PicSay and Photoshop Mobile come to mind. I tried setting a 480x800 pic with WSS, but it expanded it to cover landscape mode and it looked terrible.
I guess you could try a 800x800 wallpaper. That would cover both modes. With movable wallpaper turned off, it would show the middle 480 pixels width-wise and the full 800 length in portrait. In landscape, the full 800 width will show along with the top 480 pixels.
Ah. I don't use landscape, either.
Damn, wish this was easier. They should just make the crop tool a friggin' rectangle. -.-
