Firstly, a big thanks to everyone on here that has posted their own set, or links to, wallpapers and live wallpapers for the SGS3, much appreciated.
Has anyone noticed a lack of 1280x720 size good, clear wallpapers for our phone?
Maybe I am looking in the wrong place?
I have tried Zedge. Wallbase. some HD wallpaper apps. Even tried google image search with resolution set to 1280 x 720.
What do you think?

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.
I love the brilliant screen ! Looking for some high quality background that can match the PQ of the stock photos.
Try flikie hd wallpapers from the market

That's nice but the problem is Android has that wallpaper scrolling feature so it needs a wide image, not a tall narrow (WVGA) one.
For a Samsung Epic you actually want a 960x800 image. Of course anything that is at least that large in both dimensions should work, you'll just have to crop it. So 1280x800 (a common size) is fine as long as you don't mind cropping off parts of the sides. 1024x1024 iPad wallpapers should also work great, and again that expands the range of wallpapers available to you.
You can search Google for 960x800 as well as 960x854 (Moto Droid resolution). I also like InterfaceLift for wallpapers, some really nice looking landscapes and stuff there. Available in a lot of sizes - just get anything that is at least 960x800. The smallest images available at InterfaceLift that are bigger than 960x800 are the 1024x1024 iPad ones.
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.
Having had many roms from this forum and advice I thought maybe I could give something back not much but an image I own, (my photography) after seeing the Galaxy s3 wallpaper I thought this might work for some darker roms.

I'm having a hell of a time finding high DPI wallpapers for my S4. Usually I just go to wallbase.cc for wallpapers, but without a DPI meter I can't find any wallpapers that look as crisp and sharp as the default Samsung wallpapers.
Anyone have any ideas?

What I did is set walkable for 1920x1080 or 2200x1440 and I looked for textured images. Then I rotated them to mirror the S4 screen and set it as a wallpaper. Looks pretty legit.

I'm not sure if this relates to your question, but I just posted a thread on how to do customer HD wallpapers for those who aren't familiar with making customer wallpapers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41310209&postcount=1
