There is new version of crop wallpaper in market and this version can use define size of cropped picture.
Archos101 display is 1024x600
If those settings are set, I still get wrong size to wallpaper and tried many variations, but all are crappy.. HD pictures look like zoomed thumbs when set as wall.
Question: anyone knows what resolution should be set, to get best picture quality ??

The size needs to be 1200x1024 but in landscape mode only the top 600px are shown. in portrait mode everything is shown. that is the problem with wallpapers on android.
There is no way around that unless you resize you picture to 1200x1024 and leave the bottom 424px empty.
Or else use Multipicture live wallpaper but that is a big drain on resources.

How to set any picture as wallpaper? when i try to set a picture as wallpaper it asks me to crop the picture. but i want to set the whole picture as wallpaper. cheers
Hey,
I think if you want to have the whole image as your home wallpaper it has to be in 640x480 format. Lockscreen wallpaper has to be 320x480 if you want it without cropping.
the prob is that i have put some 640*480 pictures in sd card. went to gallery and then set 1 of these pictures as wallpaper. but found out that the middle part of a 640*480 picture was stretched and set as wallpaper. in samsung omnia hd which is 640*360 if i set a 640*360 picture as wallpaper the full picture is set from top to bottom.
is it some sort of prob with hero?

Hero has by default (SenseUI) 7 home screens so the background is behind all of those screens. Im not totally sure what do you mean by streching?
If your image is 640x480 you can select the whole image with the green cropping box and then you will have the whole image as a background. Works for me at least.
Pume: i understand what u r saying and i found in the net that many user follow the same method but in my hero if i select whole image with the crop green box it doesnt save the whole image as wallpaper. it still sets a portion of the image as wallpaper. and all my pictures are 640*480.
This definitely isn't a problem with the Hero in general as it works fine on my phone as well. I set the picture to the background by going through the settings, personalise, home screen menus. If you're using a different method, maybe that's the problem...
works fine on mine. Obviously you know that you can NEVER see the whole of the wallpaper at once, bot if you scroll left all the way, you should see the left edge of the wallpaper, and if you scroll all the way to the right you see the right hand side of the wallpaper.
Is that not happening?
There's a good free app on the market called 'Wallpaper Set and Save' that allows you to use the full image - it also uses the full quality image so wallpapers look much better

I'd be interested in the answer to your question, but if you want some good wallpaper while you are waiting, make sure you are searching for qHD wallpapers for other qHD phones, such as the Atrix.
Alternately, you can search for a specific size image with google image search online. Standard is twice the width, by the height of your screen.
qHD = 540x960
Wallpaper = 1080x960
Good luck making your own.
What I do is take an image that has a higher pixel size than what our screen has and crop it to 1080 x 960. The thing is, it doesn't get as sharp as I'd like. I feel like it should be super sharp. Icons are super sharp, why not the wallpaper, ya know. Does it have something to do with the screen itself?
Using the size parameters mentioned in the previous posts you can use photoshop or gimp (free!) and create your own custom wallpapers.

I noticed when viewing an image in the gallery and zooming it in to the size of the screen the picture is crystal clear, but when you set it as a wallpaper it gets a little pixelated so we know its not the hardware or picture itself. Could someone explain this, maybe the software could be tweaked? Try it out, the attached picture is a good example but it does it with all pictures.
Problem solved
What happens is that android compresses the pictures too much when setting them, causing distortion. Using an app called "Wallpaper Set And Save" sets the wallpaper and makes it crystal clear!
I want to replace the background image on my X10 mini pro (MiniCM7-2.1.8) with a photo, and now I am wondering, which resolution I should resize the image to.
This can't be such a stupid question after all, I tried to read up on the issue, but looks like a lot of people have problems understand how Android handles background images.
So the background image is panned across all homescreens (5 of them in the standard setup of MiniCM7-2.1.8) in a unique way, so the used background image can not just be as large as the physical display resolution.
Somewhere it was mentioned, the picture should be twice as wide as the physical screen, but I am not sure, if this really applies.
As the X10 mini pro has a 240x320 display, what has to be done, to use a photo which does not get cropped or stretched?
And how to overcome the problem with the display orientation, so once it fits for the 240x320 orientation, what happens when the phone gets turned resulting in the 320x240 orientation?

You don't need to physically resize image to set it as wallpaper. You can set one image as wp in many ways from default wp handler. ''Needed'' resolution is relative thing because of different number of home-screens that users have on their phones. Android handles this thing quite well.

For reference, the background picture needs to be 480x320 independent of the number of home screens.
So for any Android phone, it's always 2x horizontal and 1x vertical screen resolution.
It makes sense to prepare the picture in advance, because obviously it consumes less memory and can be used without cropping.
Hi.
I'm trying to set a wallpaper on my Tablet S.
I've read that ICS uses 1920 x 1280, but when I set it it doesn't look right.

Can anyone help?

Yes, the full scale H x V dimensions for Sony Tablet S ICS wallpaper images is 1920 x 1280 pixels, but the images must be cropped if they are to be displayed correctly.
Sony explains how to select a wallpaper image in ICS HERE. To the best of my knowledge, Sony has not yet released a video showing how to crop an image in ICS, however, they do show how to crop an image in HC in this VIDEO located at YouTube's web site. Cropping a wallpaper image in ICS is done pretty much the same way as it was in HC.
I provided a wallpaper image template and explained the pixel dimensions and viewable areas of wallpaper images HERE. I hope you find the template and information useful.
I make my own wallpaper images using an image editing program on my PC then copy them to my tablet into a folder I created and named /sdcard/Pictures/Wallpapers. Any images stored in the tablet's /sdcard/Pictures folder and its subfolders can be previewed and chosen via the "Gallery" selection on the "Choose wallpaper from" pop-up that appears whenever you long-press on any blank area near the center of the tablet's screen. You can also get to the "Gallery" selection via Settings > Display > Wallpaper.
Of course, you could always download and install wallpaper apps, but most of them are advertisement based and they never provided the control you can have by making your own wallpaper images and cropping them yourself.
I hope you find my reply helpful.

I also have installed the Simple Image Wallpaper app that your link leads to. It is actually a free, open source, non-advertisement based Live Wallpaper app. It works well, IMHO. One nice feature of the app is it allows for using different images for landscape and portrait mode.
Simple Image Wallpaper works best with images whose pixel resolution is the same as the screen of the telephone or tablet the app is installed on. For the Sony Tablet S in landscape mode, images that are 1280 x 752 pixels work best. In portrait mode, images that are 800 x 1232 pixels work best.
If the image is not 1280 x 752 or 800 x 1232 pixels, Simple Image Wallpaper will rotate the image if necessary for best fit, then stretch or shrink the image, and then crop the image until it fits the tablet's screen. This will sometimes cause parts of the image to be unviewable or to be displayed in a mode opposite to the intended landscape or portrait mode. Still, it's a great app.
Had expected lag what with it being a live wallpaper, but none at all, fantastic!

Sorry to give this thread one hell of a bump but Simple Image Wallpaper just saved my sanity! Thanks, the word needs to be spread about this. I tried all the other "apps" and I can't get an image to display correctly in landscape mode to save my life. I'm using this on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It took me a minute to find it though under "wallpaper>live wallpaper" because it does not appear in my app drawer.
Thanks again! :good:
Hey guys, I have made some high quality images of the resolution 1080x1920 for my SGS4. They look AWESOME in the normal gallery, but when I try to set it as a wallpaper, it somehow gets blurry, as if it's shrunk down/cropped.
Is the resolution for the actual homescreen really that resolution? Or is it being cropped down to a certain number? Is there some way I can set it without it being cropped/reduced in quality? :/

Try using the app quickpic. I use it instead of gallery and it works fine.

Tried,.. Still the same results sadly. It becomes blurrier when setting it as background. I even double checked the size of the image, and it's definitely the correct size. :/ Looks perfect when viewing it in the Gallery / QuickPic Preview, looks blurry when it's actually being set as Wallpaper.
It's not really blurry per se, but ummm less sharp and detailed, basically.
