I am noticing the wallpaper degrades quality when you set them for home screen. I used to have the same on my S2, then I found Wallpaper Wizardii and setting a wallpaper via it fixed the problem in S2, but not in this phone.
Just see this photo and set it as wallpaper and then see it in gallery, look closely, I think you'll understand what I'm saying.

I could be wrong but the height of the image you are trying to use is incorrect. Plus I'm sure that when you view an image in the gallery it scales so you can view the image in it's entirety vs when you set a wallpaper it does not do the same.

It doesn't. Also , Galaxy S2's res is 800x480 , and the Note 2's is 1280x720 which is considerably bigger, so the same wallpapers will look ugly. Try some HD wallpapers from wallbase.cc , they all look awesome.

Actually I haven't used this wall on S2. And yes,I know Note 2's screen resolution. And that wallpaper is way over HD in resolution.
What I meant is the same looks awesome inside gallery but when I set it as wall it degrades. It was a known bug in Android afaik, that's why applications like Wallpaper Wizardii came out but as I said WW isn't working as it worked on the S2.

try this one instead of WW:

Just make sure you adjust the settings to force a still image as your wallpaper.
Image 2 Wallpaper is the way to go to fix this. Great app.

It's indeed a great app but didn't work for this wallpaper.
Anyway, I'll keep it, but I wonder if it uses same method as WW.

I've been trying to find a good wallpaper instead of the ones provided with no luck. The thing is after the wallpaper being cropped, the resolution will degrade so much.
Is there any special apps or web for installing good wallpaper?
Thanks

Wallbase is pretty sweet, so is stumblr. If you use wallpaper wazardi to set wallpapers all is awesome, as you can portrait or scroll with it.

You can try "Auto resize/Dbd Wallpaper Set" from the market.
Any picture can be set as a full screen wallpaper (without crop or black bars).

I used Tablet Wallpapers a little bit, it's troublesome in the way that it pushes ads through notifications (or it did a couple weeks ago, I'm not going back to that).
Not an app, but the website www.interfacelift.com has wonderful photos that can be used in high res and cropped as you like.
Everywhere I read says that GNex has a 1440x1280 res for wallpapers but even if they're the exact size, gallery wants to crop them. What is the real resolution of the homescreens? Or is there a way to set the wp without cropping?

Ahh, it still crops it, plus the quality is lower. Isn't it somehow possible to make some kind of a mod to the original gallery cropper or something else to make it the proper way?

So... you're looking for a "proper cropper"?
If you have a 1440x1280 image then you can upload it to an image host, go to your phones browser, go to the link of the hosted image, long press -> set as wallpaper.
Good for when you don't need to crop.
Anyone have the 1440x1280 not 1280x1280 which is not the real size Thanks
Someone has to have them... Been looking for them so long..

What!? They really are 1280x1280??
S3 resolution is 1440x1280? Seems like i have to set wallpaper every time i reboot cause ICS/JB wont let me have vertical wallpapers and if i resize 1280x1280 to SGS resolution: 960x800 the dandelion looks very clumsy but if i only use 1 screen it looks perfect but i have to set it everytime i reboot and its nice with scrollable wallpaper so could anyone make a 960x800 for me? It'd be really nice
S3 screen 1280x720 default
here is dandelion at 960x800
http://db.tt/lt1jeQWy
slightly cropped but looks ok
don't really understand problem with it resting your wallpaper.
try this though
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks, the problem is that i want too se the whole green thing under the dandelion and it looks so sharp and original..
Check the screenshot thats how i want it but its not scrollable and vertical. So when i boot up i have to set the wallpaper again cause ics wont let me...
k I think I understand now u want it to look like does in screen shot but be scrollable .
I'm sure wallpaper are only horizontally scrollable
but does it not scroll ???or u want more.of the green in .
confused still
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
To the left we have the vertical the one that looks 100% fit because its 480x800 and i use 1 screen.
To the right The wallpaper is 1280:1280 and if i use it for my 960x800 screen the dandelion gets bigger and a mini dandelion in the right corner is missing
We maybe cant get it the way i want cause if you resize 960x800 either horizontal or vertical wallpaper will get too stretched out.
I
And i might be too picky..
I mean its not so big difference but i wanted to see if we could make a perfect 960x800
Here try this 1280*800

Thanks so much it's almost perfect the dandelion is little just little bigger but who gives a crap about that and you dont even notice it but i think the wallpapers you linked to me is little bit edited. Could you edit this (wallpaper_01) its the original i took it from KOVDEV SGS3 Walls app on google play. It looks better edit it like you did with the other wallpaper and thanks so much man i wish i could thank you more times on XDA! :victory:
- Short said you edited it perfect for my screen but not the real wallpaper edit the one i attached wallpaper_01. Thanks :smile:
Also check the dandelion_finally i attached there is the difference, thanks! How it was vertical without scrollable on left and your edit on right
k I'll see what I can do
to please but compared to original on my phone looks same but if u want that blue .
could be two blues are going to diff coz remember I think they changed the colour from marble blue to pebble blue . maybe 2 versions of dandelion .

So in short, no scrolling wallpaper in TouchWiz launcher...
The backgrounds hd app lets you set scrollable wallpapers.

Thanks for the suggestion but I didn't find an app with that name, the closest one was "Backgrounds HD Wallpapers" but that one does not let you load your own wallpapers, only the ones within the app. I want to be able to load my own wpp and that it scrolls. Thanks in advance!
This is the app i was referring to. Not sure if you can load your own, haven't tried that but the ones in the app let you choose scrollable like you said. Not sure why pic is so small.

Hi,
Could please someone with root extract wallpapers from Nexus 7 V2? I would like to find ideal size, I know it is near 2160x1920 but it is not this size actually. I can still move this box when setting wallpaper.
Thanks in advance.
2880x1920

Hmmm, seems too wide.
It's not. If you want the picture to fit without cropping that's the size you need.

Okay, so I found image of this size and tried to set it as wallpaper but there is still some space left and I can't extend the box. Please look at attachment.
Just use the Multipicture Live Wallpaper, you can set only one picture and it fits the screen without cropping. Theres a lot of other features too like setting one picture for each screen or make it change pictures over time. its pretty good and its free
