Would like to find some hi res wallpapers that fit the Galaxy-Nexus resolution, and not stretched wallpapers from older low res Android phones.
I really like the basic minimalistic designs, like a black carbon from the EVO 4G is my favorite, but it looks terrible on the hi res Nexus. Anyone have a link or wallpapers to share ?
Take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395999

Thanks, surprised there is not Sticky for wallpapers ? This phone needs special wallpapers over most Android phones due to one of the first phones with such a high resolution, the old wallpapers just don;t work on this phone.
google, deviantart, wincustomize, there are hundereds of wallpaper sites on the internet. and due to the resolution of the phone any computer WB will have an option for a size for the phone.
anything larger than 1200 in each size is fine for the GN.
personally i get almost all my wallpapers from deviant art and other wallpaper sites. and some here from the post your homescreen topics.
right now in my phone i have 85 wallpapers, maybe 10 of them i got here. rest were google and deviant art.
So after seeing demonstrations of Sense 4.0 at MWC, there wasn't much that I was jealous of when compared to stock ICS. However, I was impressed by the implementation of multitasking that HTC has put into the new version of sense.
I haven't seen a thread about this, so I wanted to ask...What are the chances of any brave devs out there working on porting over the sense 4.0 task-switcher to our beloved Galaxy Nexus?
Personally I would rather see a wp7 multitasking, I dislike the tilt on sense 4.0 screens
That's actually a good point. I'd take either. Right now I'm settling for an AOKP customization where the task switcher is horizontal, but the app previews remain the same size.

If you would be pleased by just getting the app previews smaller, that's just a simple xml edit in SystemUI.apk
EDIT: Here's a link on how to do it.

The previews still look pixelated though,
Need a higher quality image

They look pixelated because this is how it can show them quickly and not waste too much memory on it. Otherwise imagine 30 opened apps with high quality previews
Also, at our pcs they look more pixelated than in our phones.

It's not so much the size change that I'm looking for, it's that slick, smooth look and feel that WP7 and Sense 4.0 have for multitasking. Image preview quality doesn't concern me too much as I hopefully won't be looking at the images for long if I'm just quickly switching tasks.

thread is here : [MOD] Change ICS App Switcher to Windows Phone 7 Style
for nexus s only...(sorry i don't have galaxy nexus.. )
but i wrote guide for this mod : [HOWTO] Change ICS App Switcher to Windows Phone 7 Style
WP7 style is WebOS style and has been implemented in AOKP/CM9 Rome for a while. Swipe up/down to close. You can view more screens the traditional ICS way but no different except we have a transparent black vs solid blue, but that could be changed with a replacement image.
Nothing new here, fyi
The 3D effect of sense would be a welcome addition though but functionality wise we already have this, just not as pretty

I'm not sure if this wallpaper is a Sprint Note 2 exclusive, but I've desperately been searching for the Ripple Wall LWP on this device. If someone can either port this over or provide the apk file, that would be wonderful!

The paid version is amazing.

Actually, I had a similar search myself when I first got the S III. I loved the smooth ripple effect on the lock screen, so I tried out what must have been over 10 different ripple effect LWPs, including the one linked to above. That one in particular, if I remember right, had ripples that looked plastic-y and not at all realistic.
After hours of testing, this one was the best for customization (tons on the paid version) and realism: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidwax.wallpaper.braincandy&hl=en
I'm using it right now on my new Note 2!
Hi guys. After accidentally wandering into the N7105 boards, I was finally directed here. I'm coming off of an Infuse running Beanstalk. I haven't even activated the phone yet, and already I'm looking at the ROMs I have a couple of quick (hopefully) questions.
On my Infuse, I had a heck of a time with choppy video recording. Is that just the case with the Note 2? And, if so, what should I avoid to keep that from happening...just the ROMs based off of CM10.1, or any ROM that's ported or modded past 4.1?
If I end up avoiding those, am I effectively locked out from using Theme Chooser themes?
Sorry for the newb questions. I just want to hit the ground running

So far from my experience the Note's video capture is amazing, it even has slo mo. I have not tested capture in AOSP, but I can say from prior experiences that you will not get AS good quality, but it is not very much different. I stayed on Touchwiz because I like all the extra camera stuff that works better like burst and slo mo and other things, and I hacked on the android 4.1 camera so I can do photosphere.
In the end its all up to you, and since you haven't really done much to the phone, it shouldn't be too much of a hassle to try different roms if you backup!
Good luck and welcome to the Note 2, you will enjoy it
I saw this site where they had this alternative Multi view mod. Maybe a good one for our Nexus device?

Looks really nice :3
It didn't work very well with the Galaxy Nexus. Back in the ICS days a few ROMs and ROM devs played with it, releasing builds with it. Not sure if anyone has worked on it in a while for the GN, I know some tablet ROMs have played with it.
