What resolution wallpapers are the best?

Hi guys, it seems that when I use ADW EX launcher, sometimes the wallpapers that fit PERFECTLY in the original launcher become stretched out widescreen style; and I end up having black bars at the top and bottom of the homescreen.
Meaning, when I use wallpaper wizaardrii in regular launcher to set a wallpaper, it looks beautiful and well scaled. However, if I switch launchers to ADW, the same wallpaper does not fit anymore; even if I use wallpaper wizardrii to set it.
I wonder why this happens?
And most importantly, what resolutioni wallpapers do you guys usually use?
I am looking at www.interfacelift.com; and they have a plethora of resolutions, I just need to find out which one I should be downloading.
thanks

It seem that this is an issue with ADW EX (lots of folks are having the same issue). Others, including myself have got around the problem by installing an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. It allows you to set a differet background for each home screen and it's wallaper scaler works properly.... Nt a solution, but a work-around untl ADW EX is updated.

Could you please elaborate? What is the 'wallpaper hack'? And what does it do?

If you go into the ADW settings and check under general settings, it should be there. I don't understand what it really does but it makes the scrolling smoother.

Well the screen is 1280 pixels maximum
So to get a wallpaper that works in both orientations, it would need to be 1280x1280

No it wouldn't FFS! if you haven't tried it don't knock it
It's 1610 x 1280 and it works perfectly tried and tested

Multipicture wallpaper was what I've been looking for, but had no idea how to search for what I wanted in the market... THX!

What website is best for galaxy tab wallpaper? Also whenever I find a wallpaper it never never sets it properly. It always either cuts it off or makes it 10 times bigger than the screen. I know the Tab is 1280x800 but it just doesn't seem to fit it even though its the correct resolution...

I'm using multipicture live and it allows you to crop and set wallpaper s as well as let you set multiple wallpapers on all your screens. Hope this helps

I use the app Droid Iris for finding wallpapers. Same as mentioned above I also use Multipicture Live Wallpaper to set the image to fullscreen.

Wallpaper Resolution

I download wallpapers off of interfacelift.com, which resolution should I download them for, for this device? Every wallpaper I set is blurry (aside from LWP's and stock wallpapers). Camera pics and other ones are blurry.

I've been using 1280x800 wallpapers but I still get zoomed in poorly cropped wallpapers unless I use the stock ones. You could try any HD picture and use an app like wallpaper wizardrii to scale it nicely

Sets your wallpaper correctly with correct resolution and placement, and it's free.

I tried that one but even with a single wallpaper and no transition, my tablet lags. I don't get lag with a standard wallpaper though. Maybe I'll need to re-try and play with settings

Hmmm which ROM are you using?
Set to "no transitions" here, and not experiencing any "lag", however it does take a second or two to initially set the wallpaper on boot up.

I don't know if it's just me, but every time I try wallpaper wizardii, at first, it fits nicely, and there is no problem, but after a few hours, the tablet becomes laggy. Especially the home screen transition is very laggy. Same goes for Multi live wallpaper. Although this one is laggy from the start.
I just couldn't believe the high rating of the apps. And I'm guessing it's only me who's having the problems..

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but here's the solution...
Download Wallpaper Changer by j4velin. Download whatever wallpapers off of interfacelift (I use 1680x1050, but other resolutions should work), put them onto the SD card. Add the wallpapers to the rotation. There ya go. Note that this app has a "Change wallpaper" widget. Add that to your desktop for quick wallpaper changes.

fwiw the default Res on the stock wallpaper "default_wallpaper.jpg" is 1920 x 1408
Crazy but true.

[Q] Creating own wallpaper, what is the right size?!

Hey guys,
quick question.
I make a wallpaper from my own picture cropped to 800x1280. Perfect right? I load it on my tablet it looks great but when I set it to wallpaper it forces me to crop and doesnt get past 1/4 of the picture vertically. I thought the resolution was that size? Am I missing something here?
Thanks

Pinch out to resize the crop window.

I cant access that file to find out the size. Do you know it?
And to responder#2. I didn't mean a simple pinching of resizing the crop window. I got that. What I meant was it won't let me "pinch" out all the to my 800x1280 picture. It limits my selection area.
BTW I had this problem since day 1 of android usage. I just never cared enough to ask since phone displays are so small, but being this is my first tablet..a wallpaper makes a difference now.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Go get your own favorite 800x1280 picture. Download it, save it to gallery. And set wallpaper..you will not be able to set the ENTIRE image as wallpaper.

Figured it out.

basically, download PicSpeed Wallpapers
Then when you set your pic as Wallpaper choose picspeed. And they offer different orientation.

Thanks man that app worked like a charm

PicSpeed has absolutely no effect - images still badly cropped when set as wallpaper.
Has anyone sussed this obvious and stupid problem?

Picspeed worked great for me, no more weird cropping on my wallpapers.

[Q] Wallpaper not sizing correctly

Just installed CyanogenMod 10.1 - Milestone 1 on my Nexus 10, and when I try to set one of the default or cyanogen wallpapers, they're blown way up, like it thinks the screen size is much larger than it really is. I can set downloaded images as wallpapers using wallpaper wizardrii, if I don't want to have to crop them strangely, but none of the default wallpapers work correctly. Hoping someone can help me figure out what the issue is.

I'm running stock but I use simple live wallpaper to set my wallpapers. It allows you go set it without any cropping.

Quickpic is helpful, but I'm just talking about the STOCK wallpapers. For whatever reason, all of the stock wallpapers appear blown up.

cant help with the stock wall issue, but if you want to set up your own custom images as wallpapers without the need for cropping use the app. Simple Image wallpaper free, it is live wallpaper app. does the job pretty good.
