I seem to have a hard time finding good qhd wallpapers so I figure other Mopher's out there might have some. Share away!
I keep bouncing between these:

if you go to Zedge.com you'll find a bunch of qHD walls..
I find Zedge doesnt give alot of wallpapers for the Photon then they do for other phones. On my buddies Galaxy S 2 it comes up with thousands of wallpapers in there. But on my photon, it only comes back with under 2,000. Alot less then his phone.

Yeah, Zedge is good but I was kinda hoping to start a wallpaper thread but that ended rather quickly.

Try wallbase, I checked it out a couple of weeks ago and its got some cool ones
I've been addicted to the "Nexus Revamped" live wallpaper, free in the Market (Play Store), but I keep a nice collection of wallpapers on hand, and I add to it every now and then.
Best way to find wallpaper, I've found, is go to Google Images and plug in our phone's resolution -- 540x960 -- into the custom size prompt, and re-run the search. Just put in what you want in your wallpaper. Use broad terms, like forest, ocean, fantasy, etc. Or just search wallpaper. If you have a color in mind you can refine by that, as well.
Or, as somebody said above, Wallbase (or a similar wallpaper site). You can use something like XnView (on the PC) to crop a desktop wallpaper down. Either set the crop aspect ratio to 16:9 (I think!) and crop what you want, then resize, or cut out a 540x960 piece from the wallpaper -- the latter option is less than desirable in most cases, though. If you guys are interested, I can upload a bunch later, make an Imgur album or something. (Is there a preferred image host that doesn't downsample images that is also free?)
//edit: Here it is, if anybody wants it. Now, I didn't make any of these, just collected them from wherever. The 2nd and 3rd ones are from a wallpaper, I cropped them out. [Link]

..using youtube to display their work? I made a video today using an app called 'Screencast', and from finding the app to posting the youtube link on XDA took less time than creating a display image. Not to mention the benefit of people seeing the work in motion!
I'm just curious really; as we have hundreds of pages of screenshots with very few videos. Screenshots don't capture transition animations, or selection highlights etc, when the phone is actually in use.
Here's my example so that you can see what i'm talking about:
http://youtu.be/nbjwQS3pDao
I'm only using a single core device so using the app does slow down the UI somewhat, but a dual core would be perfect for this.
They're either shy, don't like exposing themselves, can't be bothered, don't have a camera, just don't want to, etc. There's no one answer to this. It does allow more exposure and a better experience. Also allows more understanding (to the viewer) and other stuff which can help people since they are actually seeing everything in "realtime".
No camera needed. This app and others like it are for screen caps. No audio so it's not like a full blown video review. It's just showing off your homescreens and customizations but in moving pictures.
The same effect could be had by using a gif editor i suppose but you either have to start with a video anyway, or a bunch of screenshots. The method i've used is so simple and fast i'm just curious as to why more people aren't using it!
'Show of your homescreen' thread? Embed youtube demo.
Simples, no?
Yep, pretty simple. Maybe it's just not "advertised" enough. As in, people don't know of it. But more will now...
I must say the video is quite impressive and the app will definitely make the process easier, and could also be used to highlight certain issues members might be having.
Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm a self-confessed n00b, and that was my first youtube upload. (yeah, slow learner, right?) It took ten minutes from thinking of the possibility, to finding an app, making the vid, uploading it and then posting it!
With my skill set, or lack thereof, it takes me longer to come up with the usual 'display picture'. i.e:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

All the best launchers like Launcher Pro or ADW EX have options for how to handle selection highlights. I always run into the nightmare of finding a set-up i like, only to end up hating it every time i select a shortcut! I can't be the only one? Static images don't show how people handle issues like that. ADW EX at least allows a fully transparent highlight so that you don't see it at all. Not all Launchers do though.
Perhaps it's only me, but when i see somebody's glorious creations, i think 'hah...how does it look when you click on that shortcut/widget..?? In a video you can see how!
Just found out about IIDA Home Launcher after looking through the screenshots thread. Made a CWM zip to try it out, it's attached.
Original Thread
The original download was the entire system/app dump of the Xperia(i think). I cut it down to only the IIDA apks, nothing get over written so you can delete the files after installing if you decide to ditch it.
My first impressions, it's really cool. It's like WP7 Metro but the app drawer is just a downward scroll instead of an icon.
But we'll have to work on it a bit to make it work on the Atrix. Also we'll have to figure out how to add locations to the lists, right now it seems to be only Japanese cities. And the email tab doesn't work. Also, we'll probably want to silence the beep on touch, but that's probably as easy as replacing a sound file with silence.
Here's a few screens:

I used this launcher for a couple days just before CM7 was updated. It was fun finding pictures and "flare" but it was also kind of buggy. At one point the calendar just disappeared and when I reflashed I forgot how frustrating moving all of my apps from the bottom to their respective sections was. Moments later CM7 came out and I left it in the dust. But I'm back on Darkside now since I need Webtop. I'll definitely give it another go.

This is awesome, i cant wait.
the weather app(the one with japanese cities only) is a different game, it pulls the information from a 2 different websites one for area and one for prefecture, we do not use prefectures in America so im kinda scratching my head to see how we are going to make this app work , the twitcheck app does not deodex properly according to another member who tried and i can't seem to find the facebook check or the music tile for the launcher, the Launcher itself is more than stable and it can be used on a daily basis.
check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313247&page=10 there is a conversation between me and another member who is working on the same launcher too.
I love this wallpaper:

EDIT**
found the file:
just not good quality when applied to my phone, is there a way to fix the resolution? Im not good with photo editing
How picky are you about how it looks? I can't do anything about the original, but 5 mins in photoshop should produce a very close replica.

that would be sweet
Edit: Ok, here is the 800x480 version of the picture. The caveat is that I can not get it to display properly on my phone. Under the select wallpaper screen it fits perfectly, but then it shows up funky when you look at the actual home screen.
Edit 2: Use this version, but do not crop out the black. For some reason it is only displaying 1/2 of the image, so by adding extra it displays the whole wallpaper cleanly.
Edit 3: If you need a scrollable version let me know.

THANKS! now if only i could get the icons, your the best!
In the main Android forum there is a massive thread full of icon sets. I suggest looking there. You probably won't find something identical, but you may find something similar.
In this thread we can share our wallpapers and where we get our wallpapers.
Here are some of mine

Nice ones. I'm going to use some of those. Thank you.
Just checked out wallbase on my Nook and got a few good ones just scanning the site's home page. The site was also mobile friendly, so thanks dude. I got all my Nook's wallpapers from your link in the TransformerBread theme thread, so I would simply recommend others go check that thread out.

Be careful with huge wallpapers on wallbase. If the resolution is too high, they'll lock up your NC. Don't know what the limit is.

Yeah, I never really try to get anything bigger than 1024x768 since that's the resolution of the Nook and the Touchpad, great thing about wallbase is they usually have multiple sizes for each wallpaper.
You also don't want your wallpapers to be too big because that's just all the more memory(RAM) that they'll eat up while being applied...
setting the wallpapers with the Gallery, and they all come out looking pixelated and not HD. Any secrets to get the wallpapers to set right?
I'm downloading them at 1024x768, and have Cm7.1 set to 160 dpi.
Here's a screen shot:

Thanks,

I personally use and recommend MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to set and manage your walls or I imagine you could use a 3rd party gallery such a Just Pictures or Quickpic.
thanks dude, I had actually downloaded Multi-live a while ago. I configure that last night and it worked much better. I guess I'll just use that to set my walls from now on.
Screen captured wallpapers from Milkdrop
All of the wallpapers I share I will be getting as screen captures from Milkdrop. Definitely worth checking out! Please give me some feedback on how they look, too many to try them all personally...

I'm looking for a Legend of Zelda themed lockscreen for miui. Does anyone know where i can find one, or could someone possibly be able to make one? I have a zelda theme going on, and the only thing I'm missing is a lockscreen. Thanks in advance for any help.
are you talking about a tri-force lockring?
That would be nice too, but I'm looking for something for miui. Something like removing the master sword from the alter to unlock the screen.

that's a GREAT idea - if I was metter at miui locks, and digital imaging, I would TOTALLY do this
in the mean time, care to upload some screens of your zelda theme?
My app is acting up right now. Every time I try to add a pic it fcs. But I have a go launcher theme I found on this site installed. If you just search for Zelda go launcher theme you should find it. For my wallpaper if you google search master sword wallpaper its the third image that comes up.
I'll post some pics when I get off work tonight at around 11:00pm -12:00am Est.
Here is some screenshots of the theme I'm using.
I can also do a little bit of graphic design. I could probably make a rough image of what I'm thinking, and the images that might be needed to make it if some knows how to make a lockscreen. But after a 14.5 hour day at work I'm gonna try to get some sleep. I'll see what I can come up with in the morning

Here is a rough idea of what I'm thinking. Let me know what you think. If anyone knows how to make a lockscreen I can help out with the images needed.
This looks like a great idea, but I don't know how to do it, have you posted on the miui.us site, there might be a higher chance of people who could do this on that site

Not yet but I might do then when I get done work.
I would try it out my self since I've looked at some lockscreens and it looks like you just have your images such as the unlock pull (in this case the sword) and the background (the shrine) then you edit the manifest.XML file for placing it and stuff, but my computer is a pos and can't even extract the files for me to look closer (I'm on Ubuntu comp is slow with windows which can extract but then is slow and windows wont read my phone or any USB drive/SD card so can't transfer the files over to Linux again)
