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!

Hello,
how can I get high quality wallpaper without any blur on my HD2? I found some cabs on xda forum (high quality wallpapers cabs). Can I only install these cabs to my phone? Or I need to have some patch at first?
Many thanks
The screen's resolution is 480x800. Just google wallpaper 480x800.
If you ever try out android, there is an app called zedge which has some great wallpaper in it.
zedge.net, no need for the app.
The app lets you download and set wallpaper and ringtones so it's better than the site. Give it a try if you like Zedge's content.

I understand the resolutions....... But when Im setting the wallpaper 480 x 800 as the background, there is somtehing like blur on home screen across this wallpaper.... there is not the same quality as the whole wallpaper.
understand?
Search for HDWall. It comes with a HQ patch that allows real 480x800 wallpapers. When you set the wallpaper in Sense, it resizes it to something smaller and then resizes it again to fit the screen. I have no idea why HTC would do something so stupid, but they have.
There is no way to just set a wallpaper and keep it 480x800. Alternatively, install Co0kie's Home Tab. I believe that comes with an option to set HQ wallpaper.
Anyone found a good place to find wallpapers of the correct size?
I haven't found a site that has the wallpapers tailor made to our resolution but, interfacelift.com has enough resolution options to satisfy me. I love their wallpapers. They have a lot of photography content, which is beautiful stuff.
Check it out.
the resolution for the screen is 540x960 right?
Yes but that isn't too important because you can crop a selected area. I pick the higher res Android tablet ones and just scale it to fit. Don't worry so much about the resolution because it doesn't mean squat. Pick a higher resolution, set as background, crop the area when it asks, done.
This always happens unless the image was taken by NASA or something, the image is ample size and very good quality, yet when I set it it becomes very blurry, lock or home screen.
Its very crispy when I pinch to zoom as well, whats going on here? How do I fix it?
Download QuickPic from the market and ignore or freeze the stock Gallery app. It downsizes the resolution of wallpapers. QuickPic is fast, cleaner, and doesn't cut corners. It's also free.

Ive had quickpic for a while now, and Its giving me the same exact problem.
I use Wallbase as a wallpaper app, and when I set the wallpaper from inside Wallbase, its crispy and perfect. Its only when I set the wallpaper via Gallery or any other image viewer that it becomes blurry.
I'm pretty sure it's zooming in on the picture which in turn makes it blurry, right? As to a fix, not sure myself.

I assume that what's happening. It happens with literally every single picture though
If you are downloading from wallbase on your phone, make sure you tap the image until it shows the tooltip for 100% before you long press to save it. I've run into the same thing. Also, make sure the image you are downloading is at at least 960x800 for full resolution as wallpaper.
I might be confusing you guys.
When I set the wallpaper via Wallbase, its fine.
When I save the wallpaper from wallbase (or anywhere for that matter), and set it as my wallpaper via Gallery or QuikPic, then it becomes blurry. Wallbase isnt the problem.
Thanks
If you have the "scrolling" background image enabled, make a new document in photoshop, or your image editor of choice, and make it 960x800 pixels, then resize your image to that and save as png then move to phone. Somehow the default resize for these phones makes it blurry... but setting it to the correct resolution fixes it.
^^ setting the image resolution to 960 x 800 solves the blurry wallpaper problem.

Any picture i select from my gallery to set as my wallpaper turns out to be slightly fuzzy. For example.
Stock wallpapers are perfect.
Is there an optimal resolution to utilize our display?
See attached picture that i would like to use but is fuzzy.

maybe the resolution is too small
so the phone tries to stretch it out to make it fit on the screen
Yea try finding the file dimensions and/or resolution. The picture may be too small.

Wallpaper selector makes me use the pinch to size orange crop box. i didn't want to crop anything. When i do, resolution gets cut.

Wallpaper resolution for our phones is 1440x1280. Anything lower will be fuzzy.
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.
