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.

Thanks. Can I just make one myself using MS Paint or so?

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.

Thanks!
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 wallpaper stretches to cover all 5 homescreens.

The resolution on one screen would be 720x1280. Across five screens it's 1440x1280.
The same as the old standard being 480x800 vs 960x800.
Since the Galaxy Nexus has a larger screen and a high resolution, does this mean my pre-existing live wallpapers won't look as sharp?

My old 480x800 wallpapers look just fine
Hey guys,
I did some searching and couldn't seem to find a "Phase Beam" Live Wallpaper STILL image. I like the design of it, but don't care for the live wallpaper aspect. Any way I can get a HD image from the live wallpaper? Thanks in advance.

don't think theres any way to do it. closest thing would be a launcher that removes the statusbar and is totally blank and someone just takes a screen shot, but then you'd also need a custom launcher since you'd need to set no scrolling to get it to work.
Found one:

and i'll just shut up now lol.
only downside to that is that it's a little small for the Gnex. our wallpapers need to be minimum smallest size 1200. thats 960. so you may notice some loss in quality. or possibly not. the advantage of the high DPI sometimes makes low resolution images still look good on the screen.
Shouldn't our wallpapers be 1280x720 or 1200x720 at least?

i've seen many people say that if you want the best quality you need 1200+ on all sides.
possibly something to do with how android crops it. I've yet to try anything below 1200.
keep in mind, that though the actual on screen resolution is 720 wide by 1280 high, the real wallpaper resolution is 1480 wide by 1280 high because of how android handles wallpapers. so anything smaller will be lower quality.

I did not know that. Thanks for clarifying though.
Edit: Wait, did you get those mixed up? Shouldn't it be 1480x1280? Not 1280x1480.
You see, I only have one homescreen. So, I don't know if that matters. There obviously isn't any wallpaper scrolling.

yeah probably.
height should be 1280 and width should be 1480.
even if you have one homescreen, android still wants to crop a square wallpaper. thats been the issue since the G1. so if you want a portrait image, you need to use a third party app.
now, if your using a custom launcher then thats another story, as some when you disable wallpaper scrolling it gives you a crop for a single screen.
I've the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, what is the wallpaper resolution so it fits the screen perfectly?

Your resolution in landscape mode is 1280 x 800. That will fit perfectly. However if you rotate to portrait then your image may not fit anymore. So if you make it 1280 x 1280 then it will fit, but some part of the image may be cropped. If the image is just a simple pattern you may not see the crop.
I try to set my pictures as backgrounds on my phone but they are huge. I am not able to pinch to make them smaller. Am I doing something wrong? I also tried to send it to a friend with an iPhone and they are unable to make it fit on their home screen.

It resizes to fit the height of the screen. So landscape shots are going to seem close. Portrait shots will fit a lot better. It'll still have the side cropped out.
