[Q] Making Your Own Wallpapers? - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

What programs do you guys use to make your own wallpapers? Ive been trying to make some of my own, but no matter what I edit them with, or resize them to, they don't come out right on my G2. Thanx in advance!

Wallpapers for the G2/DZ should be 960x800.

I know what size they are supposed to be, its just even when I use a picture at that resolution it comes out distorted.

Real hd wallpapers?

Does anybody know where I can find an app with REAL HD wallpapers?
It seems as if all the ones that say HD wallpapers, lie !
I see the wallpapers looking good, but when I set them as my wallpaper on my G2 the wallpapers looks so uglyy.
Like if they where to small, with little blocks and all yuck.
Kinda like if you where to zoom-in too much on a picture.
Get me? Lol.
Please help, I'm forced to use "already installed" cm wallpapers.
Don't get me wrong they are bad-ass but I want more wallpapers...
Thanks

The screen resolution on g2 is 480x800 so if you want the wallpaper to fit nicely look for the same pixles you. Can use google image to find them.

Or I can just resize a bigger picture, ah excellent excellent thanks.
But instead of doing that mission, is there any apps for only that sized wallpapers?

I am not sure ,ive never used any app for my wallpaper i find it easier to just find them on my pc and sync them to my phone.
BTW if you resize a picture with a very different pixle ratio in terms of (HxW) its not going to look nice .

Use 960x800.

Why use an app for wallpaper? Its getting ridiculous, thanks to Apple, people think they need an app to get anything done.
Just search for 960x800 wallpaper. There are plenty right here on XDA.

[Q] Best HD Wallpapers APP

Wassup everybody,
Im here looking to see if anybody knows if there is any app that has HD wallpapers that fit well on the G2 withouth having it look a little weird or too close to the wallpaper picture. I know there is a lot of HD wallpaper apps in the market but, the thing is it all says the same but end up having wallpapers with high resolution or something that once you apply it as your background the wallpaper looks a little bit different but in a bad way like all... too close or not perfect idk how to explain it. But what I'm looking for is a wallpaper app that shows the wall papers full hd with the right fit and resolution just like the ones that are put in the Cyanogen mod wallpapers and that comes with the phone. Or if there's anyway I can edit the large pictures myself, meaning size and etc, please let me know thanks...

I use HD wallpapers. Free on Market. Has a good selection.
Zedge is a good wallpaper/ringtone/notification app. Not really sure how HD the wallpapers are, but they look great on my G2.

Why do you even need to do that? You can crop just about any photo in your gallery for use as wallpaper within Android.
Alternately, you can use most any photo manipulation software on your desktop computer to scale/crop the image to 960x800, then copy it to your phone. If you don't have any such software, GIMP is a good, free, open-source one.

Help with wallpaper please

Hey guys. Can someone help me out? How do I get wallpapers to fit my screen properly? If I download a wallpaper say from zedge, when I apply it, it always seems like ive blown it up. I want it to fit so I can see the entire wallpaper. Thanks
your looking for something with a 960x800 resolution if u want it to scroll. Otherwise ur standard size for a lockscreen background or wallpaper its 480x800 i hope that helps!
An app called wallpaper wizardrii cured my ills!!

I always get it to work by taking a screenshot then opening the picture in the gallery from the screenshot folder, menu > set as wallpaper and it should be normal size. Im a newb so im not sure if their is an easier way. Hope that helps.
Edit: Disregard. Seems to only work for lockscreen. Sorry.

Resize Wallpaper

Hey guys, anyway to bypass the cropping square limit when setting a custom wallpaper? This reduces the area of the wallpaper and degrades the quality...
Tried to search the forum but couldn't find any useful guides.. thanks in advance!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
You can resize that square in order to use the whole 1440x1280 resolution. Just pull it at the corners...

U can use picspeed wallpapers app from the market. Browse through gallery and set picture as "picspeed wallpapers" then use the custom option and set what size u want with the grips

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence here, just trying to cover all of the bases....
When setting a wallpaper, are you touching and dragging the orange lines to make the box bigger?

If you want the wallpaper to fit perfectly you need an image that is 480x800. Then the entire image will fit the screen.
