[Q] qHD live wallpapers? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm wondering if there are any qHD live wallpapers out there? It seems that all of them -and most "regular" wallpapers are WVGA....
So if we're stretching out WVGA wallpapers to fill a qHD screen, what's the point of having a qHD screen?

last *bump*
so nothing? Will I have to use WVGA live wallpapers on the qHD screen?

What I do is cut out the part I like or miniaturize a wallpaper that I like. Or use iPhone 4 wallpaper which is very similar in size only 100 pixel bigger.. Just an Idea..

All the Live wallpapers on the market are either not compatible with the Atrix (resolution? Tegra 2?) or are just stretched out WVGA wallpapers, making the point of owning a qHD screen a bit less meaningful...

Give it time... relatively new feature on phones so it should only be a matter of time till we see more qHD apps, wallpapers, etc.

That's the thing. With a locked bootloader, devs are shying away from it. There's very little reason to develop for it and not the Nexus S, whose apps will run on the vast majority of Androids in people's hands...

Some hope...
Finally, here's a live wallpaper which *MIGHT* be qHd... give it a try, and see whether your qHD wallpapers still have the same detail, or were converted to WVGA and stretched...

Not really sure you made a point related to the thread in that post. qHD is just the screen resolution. So a qHD live wallpaper would just be like any other live wallpaper, but in the qHD resolution. The atrix is not the only phone that is going to be running qHD. The bootloader isn't really giving us issues running apps or live wallpapers, as far as I know. We just can't run custom roms... and as long as we can't run custom roms, it doesn't matter whether those are in qHD or not.
So my point still stands... there will probably be some qHD live wallpapers produced, but the phones that can actually use them are just starting to come out. Give it time and we'll probably see a few pop up. Same with apps. The bootloader is not preventing either of those from being made and used on our phones.

Not to negate what you are trying to say but qHD also improves resolution for videos, web browsing, viewing photos, gameplay, etc. I would assume the issue will resolve itself as soon as more phones implement higher resolutions.

Is there a live wallpaper or other you'd like to see in qHD? I've been toying with making a live wallpaper, if you have an idea I can try it out

Oh well it would be nice to have ANY decent qHD water live wallpaper.... like Samsung's gorgeous "Oceans" livewallpaper showing a colorful seabed with coral reefs and an uber-realistic water physics effect...
...since it doesn't run on the Atrix..

Also, has anyone tried LG's Optimus 2x Live wallpapers (WVGA)?

i just did, and they look blurry and seem to be for a different resolution because the right of the screen is black

Only the fireworks one works. I've tried all of them lol. All the rest are too small.

Another disappointment. Why can't they be like Samsung, and release live wallpapers that show off the power of the new chip in the phone?

Could you try to modify the "grass" live wallpaper to always be in "night" mode

Does anyone have the apks for the stock vibrant "water" live paper, that's the one with the falling leaves and the "grass" lwp. I have searched and found zips that don't have those, and a stock lwps apk that has all the stock ones but force closes when I choose any of the stock papers it contains.
Is your phone Loki? Use Odin. You'll be Thor!
Im not sure if you folks all know this, but there's a couple versions of the circuit Live Wallpaper on the android market.
And guess what??? They are free!

Difficulty Finding Wallpapers :9

Heya Guys,
I've been trying to customise my GSIII but I'm finding it really tough to find wallpapers that take full advantage of the resolution. I've noticed that 1280 x 720 wallpapers fit perfectly and appear really sharp as lockscreen images but they are really hard to find on Google Images.
I've also heard that 1440 x 1280 should work great as my home screen wallpaper yet it appears blurry and not very sharp ... Do you guys know any good places to find wallpapers? This is really disappointing since with my old phone I could have thousands to choose from.

There was a thread here @xda in general or app section with all the 1280x720 wallpapers. A search might bring you the thread.
It was titled some "HD wallpaper collection" or something like that.. not so sure..

Try downloading the zedge app, it has lots of wallpapers and it detects the device you are using...

On my phone, no matter the resolution, the lockscreen image will always appear blurry! i had to disable the s3 ripple effect (was using stock rom then) to make it clear again.
not sure whether this would help you. Anyway back on topic, for my phone i used resolution of 1440 x 900 and they looked great
Not to use sarcastic comments but a Google search would suffice
Click the images tab and then on the left look for advanced I think it is and then you can put your own res in
Hope this helps

This is definitly the best site for HD wallpapers: http://wallbase.cc
I've got a dozens of wallpapers, and I got all of them from refined Google Images searches.
A wp that looks good ("pretty!") on the PC screen doesn't necessarily work well as a wallpaper, specially if there will be lots of icons and widgets on top if it.

Wow impressive, did you make the red HTC wallpaper that I shared by any miracle of a chance? lol because I think its so good HTC should have used it as a default wallpaper on one of their beats coloured red/black design phones lol only small problem I have with it is I want it to be 720p resolution and I can't a higher resolution one to save my life lol

Lwps don't have any meaningful impact on battery so far. I've been using my favorite gif lwp on the duo though it's not perfect over both screens. Still seeing around 6 hours sot.
Doesn't mean some poorly behaved wallpapers won't drain battery, but nothing here would be duo specific.
