[Question] Wallpaper quality with TF3D - Touch HD Themes and Apps

HI
I have a question, hopefully someone knows.
If I set up a wallpaper in TouchFlow3D then its like the quality of the wallpapers reduces. When I Turn TF3D off, then make the same image as wallpaper, then i do see it at its perfect quality.
How can i have same quality with TF3D????????????
Thanks for your help in advance

Hi Haru.
This question has been asked many times. however - the answer is basically that HTC decided that to save processor power the background would be shrunk to a low-resolution image (512x512 IIRC) before being displayed on the screen.
Why - we can't figure out.

Wallpapers with TouchFlo running

I cannot seem to find the answer to what i have a question on, i see so many cool wallpapers and i dont know how to get them to run on my HD whilst TF is active. Seems I can only get my today screen to reflect the photo i select if i turn OFF touch flo, no good. Support? Thanks
Set the wallpaper via the setting menu on TouchFlo3D rather than the settings for the Today screen.
yes, bt doing so yeilds a low quality picture. any idea how we can set a high resolution pic (800x480) as the background to actually use the screen's full potential?

it is possible but the only way of doing it is a complex hack which is rather time consuming and the results are not perfect. if you would like me to write up the instructions i will do so when i get back on my pc. (browsing on my phone atm) the hack involves inserting pngs into system files and hex edits.
I've created a theme with a high quality wallpaper which you can find here

Non moving fixed wallpaper :)

hi guys ... yes i just found a way how you can have a fixed wallpaper as a background
there is a live wallpaper by the name of droid x live paper or something it has an droid eye .. now here when u apply that in the settings u have to select the desired background.. lightning type- none, choose eye - none.. show particles- un tick this... and you are good to go.. now you have a wallpaper that wont move when you move the screens ... and if you know how to edit images.. make an image with the size 960 x 800.. but it will only show the first half ie 480x800 so keep ur image on the first half of the image..... i have attached a few wallpapers which i created may be you can understand what i m saying by looking at it... and i have also attached the apk file of the live wallpaper( this apk is not the full version, u can buy it from the market if u like it)
(the whole credit goes to the maker of this live wallpaper)
does anyone has a better idea than this to have a fixed wallpaper like in other mobile phones ?????
Tried this and got it to work half way, I made a 960x800 canvas and just placed a 480x800 on the left portion upon applying it using the livewallpaper the image quality is degraded seems like the phone is doing something to it.
I ended up making a 960x800 canvas and a blank space of 249 pixels to keep my image centered.
I cant believe why it such a trivial thing to do on andriod/touchwiz... also why hasnt any dev made an effort for a non sliding and really good scaling/cropping wallpaper app ?
I think TW Launcher is your problem. I'm using LauncherPro and its just a tick box to stop the wallpaper moving
I know some others also choose to use ADW Launcher instead of TW and that probably also has that tick box. Maybe that's why the devs haven't bothered?
I would suggest trying one of the above alternative home screen launchers, they add lots more options and can be used for free. If you don't like either just remove them and return to TW
I think you can have a non moving wallpaper using multi picture wallpaper app (please google for the app, I am unable to paste links) by setting the same picture for all screens and setting an appropriate transition method.
Cheers.

This one is golden its very very close to perfect!!! All it needs is just a better cropping quality on some pictures!
This one is very good, but lacks of quality when doing the downsize:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-galmoori-wallpapereditor-FzCp.aspx
And this one is usable, but unlike the below one you have to provide your own jpg at the correct size (480x800) instead of choose and crop your image from your gallery. Some error when rotating the screen though:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-promevo-wallpaper-mywallpaper-BixF.aspx
In my opinion, the first solution will be the best IF the author update the application in order to fix the downsize quality.
Or you can make your own live wallpaper. There are scripts but i think they are difficult for the low user. We just want to choose a picture, crop it and use it, don't we?

Im thinking of looking for the best resize batch for my wallpapers, I currently have about 2,400 in rotation and I need to batch resize em xD
I use Sense on a Desire Z (HTC G2) and i bought an app called WallpaperPlus, which allows to select single or multiple pictures with the size of the screen.
The problem is the quality loss is important when cropping images.
After i apply a single fixed wallpaper with this app (bad quality when from a highres pic), then i use the default wallpaper picked (from Sense) and Tada! the crop zone is no more 960*800 (horizontal) but 480*800 (vertical) with a lot better quality (quite perfect!)
The only problem is when i reboot, i have to redo this because somehow the wallpaper goes back to 960*600, an zooms in the center of the 480*800 walpaper previously set.
Just to say that it must not be difficult to change the crop zone form factor, since this app does it somehow. When i have spare time i will look further into this.

[Q] Wallpapers on cyanogen 6.1 or evo period.

Ok I have been looking everywhere and can't seem to find a app that will set the wallpaper as is without cropping or cutting the edges off. I know the best resolution is 960x800 but it still cuts off parts of the picture. I've tried wallpaper set and save and a host of other apps from market and various android freeware sites. None of them seem to set them right, any help would be highly appreciated. I have an HTC evo running cyanogen 6.1 stable and everything is so far so good and I want to thank this website because without it I was lost. This is my number 1 forum so I know ill get the answer, its out their please help me find it. Thanks in advance!!
flikie wallpapers hd is about the best ive seen at this. it still crops but i keeps most of the image quality
Only thing I can think of is to take the photo you want, make the actual photo whatever the screen resolution is (480x800 from what I've read) with black bars on the side to make the entire picture file 960x800. Then use launcher pro to freeze the background so it doesnt move when you swipe. Your picture should be centered.
When you select the image for a wallpaper, you see that little box in the center? Drag outwards on one of its edges.

Thank you all for the speedy replies, I see what your saying. I have my desktop set to have only one screen already, but I went and got launcherpro cause of its features. But yea I downloaded a few pictures before that were 480x800 and it had the black bars on the sides but when I set it, it cuts off the head and feet, 960x800 however does not, it only cuts just a little off the sides. I'm guessing now that the picture is to wide and I wanted to know if I could make a picture keep its height and change its width. I don't know maybe keep the height from the 960x800 setup and the width from the 480x800 setup if that's possible.
My friends, friend has his set up so that when he sets a wallpaper it gives him the option to set as is, to crop, and i think the other one was to cut it. I don't know if its a application or if its the firmware (like cyanogen i mean) he uses, I would ask but he lives very far a few cities over. I have been combing the internet for this app or whatever, and I'm fairly new to android phones, but I got a pretty good history with computers so that definitely helps. But this one seems to be a common problem with a somewhat easy fix. Any ideas?
Are you sure you didn't mix up the 2 sizes lol. 960x800, and not 800x960. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but I've done that before using Photoshop.

Yes you say is true, but my problem is not resolved.
When I'm Crop, the image will zoom. And image quality decreases.
I want to have a picture, I put the original size.
Please help
Not true, the picture quality will not go down. It will just take 960x800 form your picture if you select the maximum area. If you don't stretch the selection area to the maximum the quality will go down.

That picture is just to small, if you want a picture without quality loss it needs to be at least 960x800.

Im not sure if ive understood the question correctly but if I have you can download a home launcher like LauncherPro and set it not to scroll your wallpaper when you slide homescreens, based on that crop and edit your wallpaper accordingly.

Ive just looked at the picture, your basically trying to resize it (enlarge it) and so the picture becomes distorted. If you can find a larger version of the picture using a website like Tineye, i found you this one and CROP it, dont resize it so you can avoid distortion.

[Q] Background picture resolution

Hello,
I have CM7 on my kindle. When I set a new background picture I notice that quality is worse then original file. So the picture looks blur. When I zoom picture manually it looks much better then when it is set as background. Does anyone noticed such a "problem"? Are there any way to solve it?
Thx in advance.

It worked just great. Thank you
After struggling with this myself, I found that 1200x1024 wallpapers fit the best on our screens.
Also when you find an image don't just copy the thumbnail actually open up picture before copying, and the screen Res is 1024x600 if I'm not mistaken

I had a similar issue, at popular wall sites I found ipad/ipad2 walls work ok but it does crop a touch off the top and bottom. These are 1024x1024 so that leads me to think agtef's 1200x1024 conclusion is likely exact.
