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

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.
what do you think is the best live wallpaper that doesn't slow down phone and looks good I would like to know

I'm not a big fan of a live wp. But I like the optimus 2 wallpaper the rain one and can't remember Tue name off the top of my head but Tue one where it uses all your pics on in your dcim folder and changes them. Like a digital picture frame.

This.
I also liked starfield
There's also a DOOM lwp that's pretty easy on the battery. Plus that dev was making updates to the rendering engine every few days to better optimize it.

Wave Lite Live Wallpaper is great too. It's basically the PS3 live wallpaper, but on your phone. It also has good battery life because you can set the background to black, and the wave to white.

I have a few different favorite live wallpapers, as I have been using them for almost a year now (On one phone or the other). Most of them I see listed in the last few posts above me, but one I didn't see mentioned that I think is great, would be PhysX Pro Live wallpaper...
Physx Free/Pro live wallpaper is a bunch of configurable particles that bounce about around your screen. You can configure the colors of each particle, bounciness/rebound, size, and if you decide to turn attraction on, you can change the attraction/repulsion of each color of particle. If you don't want that, you can have them follow north on the compass, or just bounce around randomly. It looks really neat, and sort of high tech/sci-fi ish if your into that type of thing... definitly worth a look.

Logcat Live Wallpaper
I like the camera live wallpaper. Lets me do things on my phone and I can see where I'm going. It eats up battery a bit, but with a 3300 MaH battery, that's not really a problem.

1280x720 minus the top and bottom bars that equal like... 50 pixels or so (if I had to guess, I know people have calculated it).

The wallpapers from zedge are 1440x1280
I find that the wallpapers in the app PicSpeed Wallpapers are the best. I have tried many other apps and I like this one the best.

Correct. The wallpapers should be 2x the screen width by 1x the screen height (1440 x 1280).
this link is the best wallpapers i found for the nexus. they are all correctly formatted for android HD screens like the nexus.

The wallpapers from SGN are 1440x1280
I usually just use my wallpapers that I use on my desktop and crop when I apply as a wallpaper on my phone. Thanks for the links though. I will check those out!
wa u use to crop it by 1440 x 1280

I can recommend Wallpaper Wizardrii app, you can set whole wallpaper instead cropping it.

He asked the resolution of the screen. I responded... If you'll see, I just quoted him asking for resolution of screen, not wallpaper lol.
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?
i was using this wallpaper for awhile before I changed my theme chooser theme and lost it. I've looked everywhere without any luck. if you have it or know where its from that would be great. picture of wallpaper in link. http://db.tt/rozZgClS
