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

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...

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

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'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 i had searched the forums and youtube and i have not found any video of the xoom original livewallpaper, can someone take a video of the live wallpaper in action? the one that come preinstalled in the xoom?
it only comes with four installed. Maps, which lets you set up a map as your background (you can imagine that) holo spiral, equalizer simple, and spectrum..... none of these are new so I'm sure you can find them in some corner of the web.
They're the same as any other android device.. accept bigger. I'd video for you, but don't have the tools.
I'm currently using star field, and it it working awesome with no lag and no battery hit.

Finally a Fix for your Wallpaper Re-sizing/Cropping.
1.Download: Wallpaper Wizardrii - Free on Android Market
2.Preferences: HD Image Size - Change to 1600
Image Compression - Change to 100% (actually equals 0 Compression)
3. Enjoy your full image.
For Fun turn off wallpaper scrolling when you set your Image and watch your Home Screen Fly!

Market link would help, since we are all lazy

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

Search "Quickpic" in the market. It lets you set walls without cropping.
Does anyone know where to find 3d images like this , which move along with the motion sensor ?
Take a look : https://youtu.be/7cYC4IS0YWs
There's a couple of them in the theme app. It's in the live wallpaper section.

After another user suggested , we can make our own from the 3d panorama mode in the camera app!

I believe you would have to upload the picture to the fyuse server before being able to set it as a wallpaper. Don't quote me on that, i'm just speculating.
