[Q] What is the resolution of scrolling wallpapers? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I was about to resize a few pictures I have and make them into scrolling wallpapers but can't find the correct resolution they need to be. Anyone know?
Thanks

I believe it's 1440x1280 somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Ahh thank you!

Stock TW does scrolling wallpapers on the note!? It didnt on the GS3

Scrolling wall paper how are you doing this? Thought it was taken away because of a patent, would like to have it back

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.

How To Make Wallpaper Scrollable in Sense 3 ROM?

Like title says, was wondering how to make the wallpaper scroll with the home screens like it used to in stock Ginger Sense.
I've tried looking through Personalize and Display and Gallery settings, and can't find anything related to making the wallpaper scroll like it used to.
So when i go to set a wallpaper, it just makes me resize an image to be very skinny and tall.
Thanks in advance!

Sense 3 uses a static background image because of the endless scroll carousel feature of the launcher. This allows the launcher to be scrolled in one direction for an infinite number of loops.

Hmm interesting to know. Thanks though!

Which is odd they can't do it, cause launcher pro has scrolling background and working smooth endless scroll

The only reason I can see they didnt do it is when you look at LP is kinda lags when you go back to the other side. It would do that on sense too but with the carousel spinning it might crash it or be way to laggy to be appealing.

Sense 3 correct sizing wallpaper app
Hiya!
For correct sizing I use an app called AutoResize Wallpaper. Its brilliant! It allows you to set your full pic as the wallpaper. No more cropping for sense 3. To apply just choose a pic from your gallery, press 'share‘ button then Autoresize wallpaper and it does it all itself. Its free from the market too

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence here, just trying to cover all of the bases....
When setting a wallpaper, are you touching and dragging the orange lines to make the box bigger?

If you want the wallpaper to fit perfectly you need an image that is 480x800. Then the entire image will fit the screen.

scrolling wallpaper

I know this is a topic that has little consequence, but i was using a gallery wall paper and it was allowing scrolling, then i switched to another and was forced to crop the wall paper to a static size. After this happened i went and did a search and found out that the sgs3 doesnt support scrolling wall paper natively and that you need to dl a live wallpaper app to make it work. This whole thing bugs the hell out of me, If my phone was using a scroll before i dont understand why it wouldnt be doing it still. any ideas?

Try using wallpaper wizardry to crop and "install"/select your wallpapers.... and I highly recommend using either apex or nova launcher....

Yes, Wallpaper Wizardrii is the best application for photo screen-savers/backgrounds and I think the best launcher would probably be Nova or Launcher Pro. Good luck.
I just got my SIII yesterday and am still getting used to it, its just splendid!
Hope we helped.

I'd like to start gathering wallpapers optimized for our screen. I've noticed a lot of wallpapers from zedge just don't fit that well and become distorted. Please post your favorites that fit well on our screen!

They get really pixelated whenever I crop them. That's what I'm trying to get away from

Doesn't seem to be that many good 720x1280 wallpapers out there. Does anyone have any links to good wallapers? I tried the Zedge app, and it seems to have a lot but not many good ones.
Where do you guys get your good ones?
i use picspeed//do a search in the play store
I'm currently using this one. This one is from zedge.

+++ This site is sick. Awesome selection of wallpapers to fix any resolution. Thanks for posting this!
You can also do an image search in Google restricted to 720 x 1280 and get a lot of results. Lots of screenshots but also some nice wallpapers. Here's two I liked after a quick search...

I have had a few of them for a long time. They are not really iphone 5 wallpapers but more so just cropped to fit the iphone 5.

What I usually do is look for wallpapers that are BIGGER then the note 2 resolutions, then I use photoshop to crop/transform them in to exactly the right resolution for the note 2.
If I do it like this, the note 2 doesn't have to resize and the wallpaper will remain crisp.
Touchwiz doesnt support scrolling wallpapers anymore ( :crying: ) so that resolution would be 720x1280
If you use e.g. Apex Launcher, you can set a scrolling wallpaper. The resolution for that is 1440x1280.
To me it looks like the stock 'wallpaper setter' can do cropping just fine, but any form of resizing makes the imagequality worse.
I got some examples on my dropbox here

How do I resize wallpapers?

All wallpapers I download from zedge be oversized and doesn't show the whole wallpaper. Any apps or suggestions? Thank you.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
that's because if you're using the default touchwiz launcher it doesn't scroll wallpapers.
if you want the whole picture the free way is to go to paint and resize and add black bars above and below..that will make the whole thing visible
or just crop on phone
or just live with default touchwiz crop
