Hey guys was looking around because I know we all have had problems with wallpaper sizes........I think I found the solution ( not sure if it has been mentioned ....just thought I might help) just try using a programme called multipicture live wallpaper that can be downloaded free from the market........ it automatically resizes any pic to fit and also has options to change wallpapers by double tapping and also have different pics on different screens.......hope I would have helped someone out there........enjoy

No not really, i've posted on here about 10 times that 1610x1280 fits perfectly, people disagree and quote blah, then 2 days later they're back here again winging that their wallpaper doesn't fit.
hahahhaha oops, sorry man , obviously i havent seen it before, didnt mean to steal ur thunder ;P just trying to help
quick question, did you try the program? its pretty cool though
It seems to use Live Wallpaper. Can you make it work with just regular wallpaper?
I created a thread about this over at tabletroms and I also created a png grid overlay that allows you to center images on the screen. Also I have filmed video tutorials over there on how to use these files to create nd center your own wallpapers on honeycomb. enjoy
well becaus i am not a frequent poster, i cant post the link. can be found at tablet roms dot com and do search for wallpaper, thread is titled that. may also healp to search for albertwertz
I've tried this app...it works pretty good but as the other poster said....as long as the resolution is correct...then it's just nice to have and not a necessity.
Yeah ofcourse resolution would count......but yeah its not too bad

any 1600x1200 wallpaper or higher will work just fine.
the actual size is 1980x1408
Personally I have no issue with the image scrolling left & right. It does annoy me though that honeycomb zooms the image and moves it up and down when you go into the apps menu or widget menu...
I posted this solution in the original themes and apps thread; it actually looks MUCH better from a clarity standpoint than cropped oversized wallpapers. Of course, if you're centering and resizing you will have identical quality BUT you will not have a giant black bar across the bottom of your screen when you switch to portrait. If you love switching wallpapers and you use high quality SLRs and such this is the only way to go.

The land of Honeycomb wallpapers is not heavily populated at the moment. There are bits and pieces scattered about out there, but I thought I might be handy to have a central place to keep some.
I am finding that 1920x1408 is the best size for wallpaper on my Iconia.
Attached a some that I have collected from all over the place. I cannot take credit for this work. Full credit must be given to those smart folk out there who created this work and were kind enough to share it. THANKS!
**Note: Images from this post and the next post can be downloaded from here.
By the way, so as to avoid posts blowing out to enormous sizes, if you would like to share your wallpaper (and I encourage you to do so )
please use the 'attach' feature so that a thumbnail is displayed rather than inserting/embedding the full size image.
A zipped file of the high res copy, or a link to an image sharing site is also handy for people to download.
More wallpapers ...
Very cool! Thanks Franwella
Thanks for these
Thanks for the wonderful wallpapers
I installed a couple but no matter how I crop, the picture is zoomed in on the screen.

How did you download the files?
Make sure the images are 1920x1408.
To do this, don't 'right click and save' on the images in this thread.
Instead, go to the Picasa link in the first post, select the image you would like, then click download (tool bar above the pic).

Great, how do I get these into the Wallpaper folder as that one does not need to crop.

Dark Wood
"Dark Wood" has been my wallpaper on all of my devices:
http://zygat3r.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Wood-58266349
I have yet to find a more subtle, understated wallpaper. It looks great on anything from a 21" monitor, to my A500, to my OG Droid.
OK, I dug into my wallpaper collection and picked a few goodies. I have resized them according to the original posters suggestion of 1920 x 1408 pixels. Some were downsized, some were upscaled, I tried my best to maintain proportions and aesthetics by some smart cropping were it was applicable.
Enjoy. There should be something for everyone.
Copyrightwise this it free commons stuff (free of rights). It has been grabbed mainly from artists subscribing to this free commons on Deviantart or on 4chans /wallpaper section. I hope the forum will not make any image dimension changes.
If you want to quickly grab them all in a piece download the archive here:

water live wallpaper from the Asus Transformer
I don't know if anyone is interested in the live wallpaper of the rising water with icecubes from the Asus Transformer. it works good and it seems the level of of water corresponds to the amount of battery the Iconia has left, which I like.
I tried to post the link, but it's not allowed till I post a few more times. But anyone interested can just google "asus transformer live walpaper apk." The first link brought me to the right page.
After you download use "My water_signed.apk."
I love my Iconia, but the Asus live wallpaper is pretty cool.
I have made a simple wallpaper. Contains parts of my Boot animation you can find here

I tried it out but over time, found it destabilized my tablet (not rooted - no funky apps installed - well, except that one) so I stopped using it. No problems like that since.
[OT] The Asus weather app is nice though.
It's been hard finding good wallpapers that actually fit this phone correctly without making it look bad. So anyone want to share some wallpapers that actually look good on our phone?

A good app that I use is Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market, and I believe it's free. Pick any of your wallpapers you have saved and it'll automatically set it to fit your screen size, and you can make it either scrollable or nonscrollable. Works perfect for me. In fact, my current wallpaper is sized for my computer, and this app sized it perfectly for my phone.

Sorry that version doesn't have the date cropped, but should be easy to fix as you're setting it as wallpaper. Yes, it's an out of focus pic of the screen of a dvd player displaying r00t, but imo that's freakin awesome.
Forget where I found this 1 but sadbot is cool too.

Here's a quick collection I did and I assure you they will look great!!
* most of these images aren't mine, I just found them on the net then resized for our screens, sharpened, corrected colors, blabla... I take no credit for them.
You can download the pack from here: http://www.multiupload.com/TK3N8RQEVJ.
As a side note, some of these backgrounds actually have interesting... backgrounds.
For example, "deep field" is an image made by Hubble, showing the furthest reaches of the Universe (light emitted ~ 13.5 billion years ago), "cherenkov" is an actual picture of a nuclear reactor (nuclear radiation isn't green, like in the movies, but that very cool blue) and "vitruvian", if you didn't know already is inspired by DaVinci's Vitruvian Man.
I'm currently switching between staredad and vitruvian, I love them both so much!
Two of my favourite background. Very nice with Laucher Pro and default icon
Anyone have the stock HTC Sensation 4G Wallpaper? (not the unlocked HTC Sensation color wallpaper)

I tried it, but I dont like it. The one long continuous home screen is cool, but I dont like the dullness that is the app drawer. All I want is the stock launcher with the ability to go to 1 home screen and change the grid size. Anyone know of such a thing for honeycomb?
i do not get the need to change to launcher ui.when I have my tablet in my hand im looking at a app I use. Don't care much for all the not needed flash .keep it simple save the CPU cycles and memory for the apps and browser.
With that said the pics look nice. Just dont see tthe point
Good responses I didn't like it cuz I have SPB shell and this launcher still needs alot of work to it in my eyes. That being said FOR THOSE THAT WANT CHANGE and don't wanna spend 15 on a 3D launcher this might be of interest which is why I decided to post

Who needs an App Drawer when you can have these Folder Cubes.
This video is after an hour or so of goofing with it.
No way was this a quick process. But it was easy to do.
Yes I did move every app from my App Drawer to the Folder
Cube on the desktop.
And no. You haven't lost or began to need reading glasses.
Just try imagine that I took the time to clear up the video a little bit.
There's not a lot that I can do to lessen the pointlessness. So. Much like the video. I didn't
even try to correct that one. Sorry E.R.
Not too bland eh?
It is easy to see that the larger icons take a few seconds to load. I will send a link to this video to the dev and see if there is a way to put large, and even customized icons (for the ones that it doesn't find.) into the cache somewhere. Maybe it will be an easy fix. Other than that I have to say that it is pretty nice on the Iconia. I don't regret buying it one bit. Now to find the Nook Color...

Look for a app called Folder Organizer.. I have it and set it up once it allows you create groups with menus on your home screen .. not exactly what your looking for but you might like it.. also DENSITY CHANGER APP.. im not sure the exact name .. changes the screen density . This changes the icon size not sure if it will allow you to drop more on there or not..

No problem. This app works just as well on the Nook Color as it does on the Acer. (?!?Maybe even better?!?) Thanks again for sharing the find. I'll use this for a solid couple of days and report back on the stability. As well as any news. So far so good though.
What damn resolution do i have to get for this thing not to crop out my image and make it look like poo! lol i hate the way android does its wallpapers
tried the same this morning (just got the phone ) and found that to have a pixel perfect wallapaper the size must be 1436x1196, then apply it using QuickPic from the Play Store (free): it will prompt a cropping window, but you can just press the save button and it will apply it full size :good:

I use an app called ZEDGE - you can download and install hundreds (thousands) of Hi Definition, awesome quality Wall Papers - I personally like wall papers that have a sort of 3d effect - with depth to the image - and I found quite a few from ZEDGE - You will find it here;
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.zedge.android&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
As an added bonus, you can also download free ringtones, notifications and alarms. I love it - good luck - hope it works for you.
If I have helped, don't forget to say thanks.
I posted in the themes sub forums that the correct resolution for the phone is 2160x1920. This results in the most detailed backgrounds. Personally I've found there to be a lack of wallpapers for my taste in this resolution so I resorted to the slightly more common 2560x1920 wallpapers. It crops wide, but height is perfect.

Just updated my own Wallpaper.
pics work too; i snapped this one the other day, desaturated it, and cropped it.
I find good pictures then I make the HD background. For best support I crop and scale them to 1920x1920. Then it works for vertical and horizontal screen without anomalies.

Well, to get full HD wallpapers I can only recommend http://fhdwallpapers.weebly.com/ . The site is easy to use and browse, and it's commited to providing only vertical (portrait) 1080p wallpapers for mobiles; some high quality stuff there actually.
If you want full HD wallpapers with the status bar shadow effect (my personal favorite), then go to http://fhdwallpapers.weebly.com/shadows.html .
