this just happened randomly... when i set the wallpaper to one of the standard nexus wallpapers it always flashes the wallpaper on my home screen and then goes to all black? if i set a live wallpaper it stays fine. and if i set a wallpaper from a backgrounds app those stick around (but they are super small, assuming cuz they are not HD?) anyone know whats going on and how to fix? i have tried a reboot and all and doesn't help... i should also mention that i was not messing with wallapapers when it started. i opened plants vs zombies and it crashed and thats when it started. but i can get into plants vs zombies now with no issue?

Got my new Desire and i have a problem, i want to set a wallpaper that i have but problem is i can only drag the box to like half of the actual wallpaper size which is 480x800 so no fun getting half of the image only.. is there a setting for this?
You need to make your wallpapers 960*800
You need to make your wallpapers 960*800
eh what ? that cant be right, then all images will look really weird and stretched out..
the wallpapers are landscape and spread across all 7 screens. 960*480 sounds about right to me, being that the old 3 screen wallpapers were 640*480.....
you can not have a portrait wallpaper. Just not how android works.
960 by 800 works for me just fine. Not streched or weird.
Hi there,
yesterday I´ve flashed to Oxygen 2.0.3.
Then I´ve installed the live wallpaper (PhotoWal) I was using when my Desire was on original HTC Android 2.2 rom.l
But it looks like that PhotoWall has some problems under Android 2.3.3. It steadily crashes and after this the background is black. But after it has been crashed I´ve noticed that the Phone speed has increased very much. The animations are so smooth that it looks similiar to the iphones animations.
Then I thought about creating a small picture which is just black and use it as standard wallpaper (Maybe it would be as fast as without a wallpaper loaded).
Unfortunately this hasn´t worked... the speed is pretty slow if I compare it to the setting without a wallpaper.
I don´t want to load the PhotoWall wallpaper and waiting for a crash all the time, so... does anybody know if it is possible to deactive the whole wallpaper?
I know that it will look kinda naked but I really like it because it is reacting very very quickly.
Thanks in advance!

I have read that having black backgrounds also improves the battery life.

Yes it does improve because amoled doesn't use power for black pixels. That's what I heard anyway.

I was getting pretty frustrated with how our phones crop the wallpaper these days.
I was looking and looking for a wallpaper template, but couldn't find one. So I made one.
It's in Paint.net's PDN, Gimp's XCF, and Photoshop PSD
The wallpaper I made in the screenshot was using the PDN.
I only made the XCF and PSD for those of you who do not like using Paint.net, I assume they work just as well, but haven't tested them.
If they don't work properly, let me know and I'll try to fix them.
In the Templates.7z package you'll find the blank E4GT-Template.xxx which is 960x800 @ 206ppi
I had read that the stock wallpapers were 960x800, which seems to be the size of the cropping block when you set a wallpaper.
480x800 is the screen size, you'll notice there are (2) 240x800 black bars on the sides, these get truncated.
All you have to so is add whatever image you want as a layer behind the "Box" layer.
What you can see is what you'll get when you set the wallpaper on your phone.
I've attached a screenshot of my phone with a Borderlands 2 style wallpaper I made.
Just for you, I've included the template for it as well: BL2-Blank.pdn
You'll notice a solid red background on the this one, this is to check for gaps.
If there are no gaps, you won't see it when you flatten the image, or just delete it.
If you have more than 5 pages of stuff, you'll need to change the size of the top box for the page indication thing.
This is for people who are stock, or don't have scrolling wallpaper as an option.
Feedback is appreciated.
Enjoy!
If you're running stock, one of Samsung's updates actually disabled the scrolling wallpaper feature - originally, you would in fact make wallpapers 960x800. It's actually one of the reasons I went and rooted my phone - I loved that feature, and I thought it was lame that they took it out.
That being said, this is very useful, especially for those running a single screen setup, or running stock. I haven't made a wallpaper in such a long time - I'll edit one into this post for anyone interested. Maybe a Fallout inspired one?

This reminds me that I forgot to mention a few things in the original post.
Something Fallout/Pip-boy inspired could be cool!
Best game ever!! Can't stop playing.

The wallpapers are extremely annoying. I never uses scrolling before, but when they took it away it messed up everything.

I got the Nova Launcher from Play while it was on sale, made a background for it using the same template and made some folder backgrounds
The regular grey bar was ripped from the site same as the yellow one I used on the Maya background.
The regular box is made from it.
The Modified images I smoothed the coloring out, and made the orange a little darker, preserving the highlights.
I'm including the background if anyone wants it, and a screenshot of how I used it.
You need to make the dock margins Large.

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!
The title basically says it all. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any live wallpapers that can trigger the dark ui.
So far the only ones i know about are "Amoled" and "Galaxy", both by the same developer maxelus.net. They're very nice wallpapers with a lot of customization options. So if you guys know of any others please share.

I haven't found any so far. Only the dark Google ones that are in the Wallpaper app trigger it, there's like 5 of them that do it. Any 3rd party live wallpaper I've tried that is dark, does not trigger it.

You should give the ones I mentioned a shot. There's free versions of both, but you gotta be on 8.1 for the dark mode to work though.
The darker wallpapers in tapet trigger the dark theme, but I've found even with just setting an image they have to be very dark before triggering this....
Attached a dark wallpapers generated by tapet, and a fairly dark black and white image that didn't trigger it.
Seems to need a certain amount of black to switch to dark..
*Edit* first screenshot since getting the 2xl, screenshots have square edges behind the round corners....

Is that a live wallpaper or app that displayed all that info on your home screen?
