Please fix your typo for the appname( there is only one d)
The only issue I've had going this route is that when using WW is that it "repaints" the screen and resizes while reorienting....it doesn't just flip...it's annoying...
There's no more issue anymore. The latest Asus Transformer update version 8.4.4.5 (Android 3.1) features the new wallpaper crop tool which shows you a preview of how the wallpaper will look, so you can adjust it properly.

I agree there is a preview with 3.1 but you are still unable to use the full image. This app allows the entire image with 0 crop
Doesn't work for me, still crops. Multi picture live wallpaper works perfectly tho.
Neither of those apps worked for me like I wanted...each introduced new issues that weren't an acceptable trade off for me.
I resigned myself to just getting wallpapers from the web and using "set as"...that seems to work nicely and not crop anything.
There isn't a wallpaper issue!
It's you the users fault for having/trying to install wallpapers that are the wrong resolution
I have about 25 wallpapers installed at 1610x1280 and never have to crop any of them, ever.
It works well enough for me. Thanks for the tip.

I couldn't FIND any pre cropped at 1610 x 1280...I had to pre crop them in picasa and then set them as wallpaper...
Where did you find ready made wallpaper at that resolution?
Does this issue still exist though?

Not when I tried it. It only had a "burp" while reorienting...like a temporary fritz while it figured out what to do ...
I stopped using it because of that.

This issue has been bugging me, I will try finding / creating backgrounds that size. Thanks for the tip!
even creating images at that size I still have cropping issues
Works for me too. Thanks!
Still a fail for me. Croping an image thats already too small into a smaller part that looks grainy..(kind of like trying to type into this forum in Dolphin HD) just doesn't work for me. I just go to the web at someplace like alphacorders that you can pick resolution long press and save as wallpaper.
3.1? Still doesn't look ready for prime time IMO

Um. What? It's an image, the tab doesn't care what the contents of the image is as long as it's a valid file (i.e from Gallery). How are you putting them on there?

It's the high jpg compression I guess...
Same "problem" here. But I also have the same "issues" on win7 desktop... so I don't know if it is a valid problem par definition :-/

Did you use the built in gallery app to set it? Because that's a.... well, "Samsung software" sums it up
Try QuickPic, it's free in the market.
The screen is very well capable of handling gradients, it's that software side, the stupid app makes a mess out of your pictures.
It might also be an issue of screen setting, too much contrast is bound to do that.

of course the tab doesn't care as long as its there and its valid, I use dropbox or usb transfer to transfer my wallpapers, the images look quite jagged on the screen especially near the gradient areas...

they show pretty fine on my WINDOWS 7 x64 also the gallery on the tab shows them alright, but when selected as wallpapers it does something with the image that it messes up.
I'm using QuickPic to apply wallpapers !
Hope you guys enjoy this video too~
there's a ton of application being preview. the ones i love the best are the tablet optimized application done by Google

What I want to know is how he got the clock/calendar to stay static on the background and not move when he swiped to the other homescreens - unless those were static images that were part of the background wallpaper. Great effect.
OK ... just a guess here, but having done some looking around, I think that is Typography Wall live wallpaper. It takes some tweaking to get it set how you want, but once you do, it just sits there on every screen. Had it on my DX, didn't like it that much. I think I like it now.
Very Nice
Thanks for showing us some of the things you can do on the xoom. Enjoyed.
great video. Its only going to get better
*waiting patiently*
I do have to say that I lold when that flash page didnt work..
Does anyone know the exact resolution of the Gingerbread wallpaers? No matter if I get a HD one, it always comes out blurry, and I can never use the full image as Gingerbread asks me to crop it.
Thanks in advance
--Joe
i think it is 960 x 854, could be wrong and happy to be corrected as this is from memory.
Try using "Wallpaper set and save", free on the Market. It sets your wallpaper without the cropping option and does a much better job of keeping HQ images looking HQ.
Alternatively (or as well), try the Zedge application. As well as having 1000s of great wallpapers and ringtones/notification sounds, you can set them directly from the app and they retain quality as well.
Hope this helps mate
You can also use an app called "crop wallpaper " it does an awesome job and do check out zedge like mentioned above or my favorite wall paper app "flickie wallpaper HD "
Sent from my Jaws Miui powered HD2
Actual resolution is 960x800
Cheers to all who answered.
I will be clicking 'Thanks' for all of you
i've used it for my HD2 with NexusHD2 rom..but i just cant the full picture tu be my wallpaper...how to solve this?
Hi,
The wallpaper I used with honeycomb doesn't fit properly with ics.
I used the galery app which tells me to crop the picture. So do I. What I get ? A little picture in the center of the screen. What's the matter ? Yet, my picture is 1920x1408.
Without using a dedicated app, what's the best way to place a wallpaper on the screen ?
Thanks,
Siso

the best applications to install the wallpapers is "Simple Image Wallpapers"

That is the app I use. You open it up as a live Wallpaper & then you can select the still wall that you want. It is the way to go!
Edit: you might want to use this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ridgelineapps.simpleimagewallpaper&hl=en His link put my Play Store in French for a while...

Got some problem with wallpapers.
After experementing with some ROMS, my default wallpapers have this strange noise;
I tried to install another ROMS, but this noise still here.
Is there a way to full reset wallpapers?

Whats the problem? They all look like that, or are you trying to say that its blurry ?
If so I would try to get another version of that image from the web, http://images.cyberimg.com/android/2012/06/28/jellybean_wallpaper-650x541.jpeg
Try downloading that and swapping the image out.
If the "Noise" persist, then I don't think their is anything wrong with your image.
Hope this helps.
So compare
tau . rghost . ru/40813681/image.png (dont forget to zoom)
and
cdn01 . androidauthority . com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/wallpaper_01.jpg
Difference is more noticeable at png.
By the way, when i fresh install any ROM, this wallpaper looks normal, but when i set this wallpaper again in wallpapers menu, it has this noise;

I wonder why you can't see the difference.
plasmon . rghost . ru/40817332/image.png
Please, look at this fragment. I ask my friends about it, and they said that they can see this "noise".
Also, i have a simmilar problem with whole screen. It seems that between the glass and the screen is dirty. It makes simmilar effect on the whole screen, but its not noticeble as this wallpaper bug. So difference between images you can see on any display.
It's all very weird.
Sorry for my bad english

Okay, now I see what you are talking about!
It seems like the one on the right was saved with a lower color depth producing noticeable dithering. I can't tell you why the same image would appear differently with different ROMs though, I have no idea.
I could upload the default wallpapers for you when I get home tonight if you would just like to restore them though.

Thank mate, but i want to fix it permanently.
Is there a way to do a FULL wipe, really FULL? Lol.
So anybody know, where is stock wallpapers folder?
Updating to 4.1.2 didn't fixed this problem.
Hi, I sure hope this doesn't count as thread-necromancy, but my search didn't lead to any other results (except this guy here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817956 - an even older thread.)
I just wanted to confirm this issue, I guess. The stock wallpapers really turned from (more or less) crispy clear to a grainy mess.
I bought my Nexus 7 on release here in Germany, first half of September iirc. Everything fine, no hardware issues at all.
Some day, the OTA Update to 4.2.1 turned up, I confirmed and installed it. The new dropdown settings are cool and all, but...
Yeah, the stock wallpapers got all noisy. The update somehow messed them up.
I use the green one on every Android device I own, so there's no doubt. Noticed it the second the homescreen became visible.
I have no idea why Google would reduce the quality, if that's even an intended change. And, yes, you can simply download the "old, good" version and set it as wallpaper, but it remains a weird issue. Hey, at least we are not imagining it.
