I have an image as background on my TP2. It's 800 x 480 pixels and when used as a background it gets a little blurry. But if I look at it in the gallery it looks crisp and sharp.
Is there any fix for that or is it just the way it is ?
Use the HDWall tool.

ok, i have lots or large high res backgrounds for my phone. all are jpgs. whenever i set them as backgrounds on the evo the image quality is severely degraded. its almost like changing from a 16mil color jpg to a 256 color bmp. whats the deal with this?
Probably because the EVO isn't a 1080p device. It's 480x800. 960x800 is the resolution you should be using for wallpapers. Downsize them first on your computer using Photoshop or something similar, to preserve the quality as much as possible.
resizing the images to 960x800 and keeping the aspect ratio actually makes the images look worse. im thinking its more of a cm6 problem. it does not do this with any sense based rom.
And I'm thinking it's an issue of one of your apps, or whatever app you're using to downsize, as nobody else has issues with wallpapers on CM6.
I've noticed that the lockscreen adds a dark tint on the wallpaper.
Is there anyway to remove that dark tint (regedit perhaps)? Really ruins some colorful pictures and makes already dark pictures even darker =/
Thanks!
not sure what you mean - the screen dims after a little while but i havent noticed this problem on my omnia 7 - what device are you using?

It's not the screen that is the problem, it's the wallpaper that is slightly tinted.
The information text is clear white but the wallpaper I have in the background is somewhat darker than the original (compared if I open it up in the pictures hub).
Try opening a picture and see the brightness, and then set is as lockscreen wallpaper and look at it again on your lockscreen. It is slightly darker.

It's slightly darker on the lock screen, but it doesn't bother me. It's so little...
I know its probably not what you want to hear but how about install one of the many photo editing programs? For example Thumba Photo Editor lets you adjust brightness and contrast
Yeah, I guess I'll have to edit the pictures beforehand.
Would be easier if there was a registrytweak or something instead
Thanks for your responses
Everyone knows that when you apply a wallpaper with the default Gallery app it crops only a small part of the picture. Hence your wallpaper will most probably look somewhat blurred because it's been scaled up to fit the screen.
The overall resolution of Galaxy Nexus is 720 x 1280
Resolution without the navigation bar is 720 x 1184
Resolution without navbar or notification bar is 720 x 1134
1134 pixel height is huge. Even a 1080p picture would need to be scaled up a few pixels. But because Gallery crops at least 10% off both edges the original picture would need to be much higher than just 1134 pixels to have no upscaling and quality loss.
So I was wondering if anyone knows what is the exact size the picture should be to get no scaling at all when applying a wallpaper?
I know I could use 3rd party apps to avoid cropping but I'd like to know how to do this with the default app.
I do believe that (according to many sources, like some wallpaper threads in this forum) the proper size is 1440x1280. Almost all wallpapers that are found in the Themes and Apps section are already resized to this size to fit your nexus.
EDIT: I forgot to add that in order to use the whole image, drag the cropping square to fill up the whole image when you're using the size I mentioned above. That would guarantee no upscaling.

If you follow previous pattern for wallpaper this should be correct. There's also a ton of high res wallpaper sites that have higher res images. Don't think only in 1080p, ton of PC users are on 2560x1600.

I think I know what you're trying to say because I'm having the same problem...
It used to be that when you cropped up an image for the wallpaper that you could select the full height of the image to the actual height of the screen. But now the crop tool uses two image frames where the tallest one is for the lockscreen (I think) and the wide one is for the scrolling wallpaper. This means that you can't use the full height of the image for the scrolling wallpaper so with many images you end up zooming in on them and they either look blurry, or you can't actually get the whole image in there, cropping off the top and bottom.
I want to know if there's any apps that will allow you to crop to full height and therefore actually use a widescreen wallpaper at it's proper resolution as your scrolling wallpaper...
For a scrollable wallpaper the max resolution for One X is 1440x1280 if i'm right.Then it looks perfectly on home screen and on lock screen.I've tried also with Full HD wallpapers but it's blurry and it looks really bad,so try 1440x1280 and you should be satisfied :fingers-crossed:
Cheers
Hey Everyone,
I just bought the Tab S 8,4 LTE version, and i got a little issue. I know that the native resolution of the display is 2560x1600. I don't like the stock wallpapers. I downloaded a 2560x1600 wallpaper and installed it. However when the device is in vertical position there are black bars on the display (the image is not full screen). When i flip to landscape the wallpapers is fine. Please help why this is happening. I do not have this issues with the stock wallpapers. Do I have to download a different size. Thanks everyone in advance for the help
Try and app called quickpic. It lets you set a wallpaper to your whole screen res. I dont see any black when portriat with it.
Your native resolution isn't 2560 x 1600, it's 1600 x 2560......think about where the home button is on both models and that tells you the 'natural' wallpaper mode for that model.
Wow, just found apk Image 2 Wallpaper. Gives you perfect fit!
