I thought I'd start a thread on wallpapers that really make you go 'wow' when you look at the screen.. They have to be at least 720p of course and preferably blend in well with the icons/ICS theme.
Allow me to start:
Edit: Added HD zipped version.
Nice! I just set it as my wallpaper.
There's some nice ones in the apps and themes forum. I think the title of the thread is something like black and bright colors wallpapers

Here are a couple i have used on mine that i found on the net... they are both nice and sharp. The one with the blue cubes match perfect with the colors of the ICS theme...
EDIT: Someone made a good point that the forum compressed the images.. I updated them with the higher res versions of the images... look much better.

The one with the blue cubes is great.
Red really pops on the screen. The Star Fish looks amazing
More. I have tons
None of these posted are high enough resolution for the screen. They should be sized to 1440 x 1280, and if you add them as attachments, you should add the originals to a ZIP archive before uploading, so that the forum does not compress them.
I've attached a few I've collected.
Here are some more

Ive got this beautiful wallpaper here that I want to use with MattedBlue setup I am working on but I cant get over the blurry the picture quality looks on my phone. Is it possible to improve the quality for picture? Any knowledge anybody can drop on me would be much appreciated!
use wallpaper set and save from the market to set wallpapers at full res instead of having to crop
Thanks Success. I actually do not have to crop this picture at all... the dimensions are perfect so WSS didnt make much difference. So I guess there is no way to improve image quality?

It's because that wallpaper has a gradient which is made up of more colors than the 65k the EVO screen can handle..
Yes, WSS is better than the N1 3D Gallery app and better than the Sense Gallery app, but there's still a hardware limitation, unfortunately.
I've compared some of my wallpapers on my EVO to one of my friend's PalmPre and another friend's Epic 4G and I was blown away.
Some people say they can't see the difference.
I work with graphics all day so I notice all the banding and lack of colors and everything else.
Nonetheless, the EVO screen is still excellent, color capacity notwithstanding.

Thanks for, not many good ones there though.
Anyone know where can good wallpapers for our Nexus, the default ones are poor.
Could anyone tell me the wallpaper size for the Galaxy Nexus? And maybe post up some good ones/links to good sites for HD wallpapers?
Cheers
I'm looking for a plain black one in case anyone can point me to one already made. I heard a black wall paper helps conserve battery power.
I'm just trying some wallpapers at the moment, and it's as annoying as trying to find one that fits well for a honeycomb tablet :/
And yeh with SAMOLED screens, darker uses less battery.

It seems like the existing wall papers have a size of 960 x 853 pixels.
I created this plain black wallpaper.

I don't know why the stock Wallpapers were released at that Res as they have to be upscaled to fit. Wallpapers for Native Res will be 1440x1280 if you want nice crisp HD.

Crop to 1440x1280 for your phone.

If I want a basic plain all-black wall paper, what format should I save it as? I know jpg works, but is there maybe a format that uses up less resources?

Plain black png will be considerably smaller I'd imagine.
I made a couple of fractal based wallpapers at 1440 x 1280, both using a black background. The second one is fairly dark, for those who want to conserve their battery without going completely black.

I don't think thats correct. It's a 720 screen so the native resolution would be 1280x720 (widescreen)

The resolution on one screen would be 720x1280. Across five screens it's 1440x1280.
The same as the old standard being 480x800 vs 960x800.
Google released a webpage with design patterns for Android apps. As you can see here, there is a wallpaper which I found really cool, so I decided to copy it.
It´s quite simple, and both blue and red parts are a bit larger pointedly, to fit the screen properly (they get smaller when the image is set as wallpaper). Hope you like it!
Thanks! I actually liked the wallpaper when I first saw it

I've been looking for a new bootanimation for my Xperia Z for some time now, but I can't find one with the right resolution...
Can anyone make some for 1080 x 1920 resolution?
I guess I'm not the only one wanting something new!

My experience with 1080x1920 BA's has been hit or miss as far as them playing smooth. I've been using 720x1280 ones. They look great and play flawless.
Ps. When I do the 720x1280 ones, I edit the desc.txt and change the resolution to 1080x1920. So, it's using 720x1280 images, but playing them full screen.

Quality's just fine IMO. I mean, it's only a 5 inch screen. Most people can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a 42+" TV from only a few feet away. 720p images stretched to 1080p on a 5" screen, the likelihood of noticing any artificating or anything is pretty slim. Now, if you were to just grab one of the BA's apps in the play store and try to use ones from that, you'd be lucky to find a phone model one over 480x800, so those will probably look like crap.
Also, you can use much higher quality images and play the animation smooth when they're 720x1280; however, when you have the images at 1080x1920 you really have to sacrifice the quality of each from to get the file size down. . . and it's still rough getting it to play smooth.

Ironically, I spent the better part of Q1 of this year working on boot animations and optimizing them for work. So this is stuff I learned on the job.

I thought I would start a thread where people could upload backgrounds that work well for the new "My Design" watchface on the updated Moto Connect app.
I'll start first with a black leather background that looks nice on the Moto 360. This is a simple yet elegant background that really looks good imo.
Here are a couple more for you sports fans.
What size are u guys using to make these?
The size doesn't matter. The app allows you to crop the image.
Enjoy
