So I tried using the qHD version of the stock LG (non branded phones) bootup/shutdown files I used on my LG L9. After I rebooted I realized these don't work due to their tiny size for qHD. Does anyone have these files which can be used in the G Pro? Are there stock system dumps from LG for these phones (were they ever sold unbranded overseas?).
Attached are the two qHD versions I'm referring to.

One is shut down one is boot.
Both are 1080x1929....
Some times you can just edit the text in the desc.txt file from what ever resolution it is to 1080 1920
And the animation will resize to your screen. Oh don't forget to set permissions when you place these animations in your system/media to rw-r-r

Hi there, can anyone help with putting wallpapers on the Desire please?
I've got a few 480x800 ones off the web and copied them over to the DCIM\100MEDIA folder. When i browse to them on the phone and select 'Set as' wallpaper it will only allow me to crop the image and not have the full image as a wallpaper.
Cheers!
Have you tried expanding the green box? You can make it larger by dragging.
Yes but it only enlarges to half the size of the screen, is 480x800 definitely the correct resolution?

I realised this the other day when trying out other wallpaper. The problem is this. Although the screen is 480 x 800, HTC sense (or Android) makes the wallpaper wider to compensate for the 6 other home screens. You will notice that as you move from one screen to another the wallpaper moves along with you. So in essence the wallpaper size we need to be working with is.more like 900 x 800 or something. This is why when you try and crop it won't let you crop to a 480 x 800 ratio.
Although the moving wallpaper is a cool effect, it would be nice to stop it so that the background screen was always 480 x 800.
Ah i see, it's been bugging me for the last day or so!
Off i go to find some 960x800 wallpapers.
Cheers guys

960x800 will be perfect
Hello,
What is the resolution/dimensions of sliding wallpapper? ( similar to default wallpapper that you find on a new Galaxy s) because I want to make custom sliding wallpappers.
And what is the extension/type of the picture? and in which folder I should put it?
And What I should do different if I want to do non-sliding (Fixed) wallpapper.
Thank you.
would also like to know this?

I made a custom one meyself last night and it's a million times better than using the crop tool in Gallery.
For a none slide use launcherpro, it has a setting that stops the wallpaper slide if you want that, its in the preferences/appearance settings.
Thanks for the info, I would rather a non-sliding wallpaper.
Is there no way to make it a different picture for each of the 7 screens?

I thought of making a Live Wallpaper that did this (or just displayed a static image that didn't scroll) and fiddled with the SDK last night. Only problem is I suck at Java. If I could use Visual Basic I could have done it in about 10 minutes.
Maybe someone more competent at Android developing could take this idea and make it a reality.

Thanks everyone, but I tried 960 X 800 and used Gallary to set it like sliding wallpapper but it forced me to chose a part from the picture and I could not chose the whole picture.

I have searched and searched for a solution but my best find was this app:

haven't tried it yet.
i think it will not work with touchwiz, but might work with launcher pro

I found out that my mistake was making the longer dimension vertical while it should be horizontal. So the rotation of the picture for 90 degrees gave me the ability to select the whole picture as sliding wallpaper.
But what if I want to make non-sliding wallpaper that fit to the screen completely, what is the resolution for that?
um isn't it 480 by 800?
Because of the moving of the image when sliding to different homescreens it needs to be slightly wider, hence the 960x800 resolution.
slightly? thats twice the width lol
what file type do you think would be better?

480x800 is the actual resolution of the screen, while the sliding wallpaper is doubling the width so that the wallpaper won't stretch and display the at native resolution when you slide through the home screens.
When you got some image with high resolution (higher than 960x800), selecting that high resolution image and crop to fit by the wallpaper selector, it will corp and resize the image for you on the fly but it doesn't look sharp as those TouchWiz and Launcher Pro wallpaper which is resized and optimized the sharpness on 960x800, I'm going to crop and resize my favorie wallpaper on a desktop imaging tool.

I've made a couple of backgrounds in ps that were 960x800 resolution and then put them on my phone. Whenever I got to change the wallpaper, it has me select the file and then I have to crop the image. I'm aware that I can drag it out to make the crop zone large but it still only selects I would say 3/5 of the image. I've tried several different times over several different images and I cannot make it any larger. I'm using launcher pro if this has anything to do with it. Are you sure the resolution is 960 wide by 800 tall? Other than that, what am I doing wrong?
Would deleting all but 1 home screen make the wallpaper full-size/non-sliding?

It's what I use and is fine for both stock and launcher pro. When I chose the wallpaper the crop rectangle stretched to the wallpaper perfectly.
Hi. I tried 1280 x 1280 whoch I convert using samsung kies and the crop box fits 100 % and the wallpaper is perfect.
Hope this helps.

hi guys ... yes i just found a way how you can have a fixed wallpaper as a background
there is a live wallpaper by the name of droid x live paper or something it has an droid eye .. now here when u apply that in the settings u have to select the desired background.. lightning type- none, choose eye - none.. show particles- un tick this... and you are good to go.. now you have a wallpaper that wont move when you move the screens ... and if you know how to edit images.. make an image with the size 960 x 800.. but it will only show the first half ie 480x800 so keep ur image on the first half of the image..... i have attached a few wallpapers which i created may be you can understand what i m saying by looking at it... and i have also attached the apk file of the live wallpaper( this apk is not the full version, u can buy it from the market if u like it)
(the whole credit goes to the maker of this live wallpaper)
does anyone has a better idea than this to have a fixed wallpaper like in other mobile phones ?????
Tried this and got it to work half way, I made a 960x800 canvas and just placed a 480x800 on the left portion upon applying it using the livewallpaper the image quality is degraded seems like the phone is doing something to it.
I ended up making a 960x800 canvas and a blank space of 249 pixels to keep my image centered.
I cant believe why it such a trivial thing to do on andriod/touchwiz... also why hasnt any dev made an effort for a non sliding and really good scaling/cropping wallpaper app ?
I think TW Launcher is your problem. I'm using LauncherPro and its just a tick box to stop the wallpaper moving
I know some others also choose to use ADW Launcher instead of TW and that probably also has that tick box. Maybe that's why the devs haven't bothered?
I would suggest trying one of the above alternative home screen launchers, they add lots more options and can be used for free. If you don't like either just remove them and return to TW
I think you can have a non moving wallpaper using multi picture wallpaper app (please google for the app, I am unable to paste links) by setting the same picture for all screens and setting an appropriate transition method.
Cheers.

This one is golden its very very close to perfect!!! All it needs is just a better cropping quality on some pictures!
This one is very good, but lacks of quality when doing the downsize:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-galmoori-wallpapereditor-FzCp.aspx
And this one is usable, but unlike the below one you have to provide your own jpg at the correct size (480x800) instead of choose and crop your image from your gallery. Some error when rotating the screen though:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-promevo-wallpaper-mywallpaper-BixF.aspx
In my opinion, the first solution will be the best IF the author update the application in order to fix the downsize quality.
Or you can make your own live wallpaper. There are scripts but i think they are difficult for the low user. We just want to choose a picture, crop it and use it, don't we?

Im thinking of looking for the best resize batch for my wallpapers, I currently have about 2,400 in rotation and I need to batch resize em xD
I use Sense on a Desire Z (HTC G2) and i bought an app called WallpaperPlus, which allows to select single or multiple pictures with the size of the screen.
The problem is the quality loss is important when cropping images.
After i apply a single fixed wallpaper with this app (bad quality when from a highres pic), then i use the default wallpaper picked (from Sense) and Tada! the crop zone is no more 960*800 (horizontal) but 480*800 (vertical) with a lot better quality (quite perfect!)
The only problem is when i reboot, i have to redo this because somehow the wallpaper goes back to 960*600, an zooms in the center of the 480*800 walpaper previously set.
Just to say that it must not be difficult to change the crop zone form factor, since this app does it somehow. When i have spare time i will look further into this.
Hi
I have gotten a working bootanimation.zip and it worked 100%. But i edited it so that it would fit even better for me but after i edited it it just wouldn't open. I created the edited bootanimation with the Boot Animation Creator but it's still just a black screen.
Plz can any1 check it out?
What am i doing wrong?
All i did was removing some letters and adding "HTC quietly brilliant" logo and then saved the pics but they were saved in indexed colors so i then had to resave them in RGB mode. It then said it was in RGB/8. After that was done i was able to make the bootanimation.zip with the creator and then i just pasted over the old desc.txt into the zip.
Can any1 tell me what i did wrong?
Here are the not-edited version that is working
and the edited that isn't working
Thanks alot in Advance
EDIT: I just read that in order to make it work there has to be no transparency. I don't know if there was transparency but I will try to remove the alpha channel and see if it changes anything.
What are you using to save the edited pictures, as could be wrong bit depth. I think pngs need to be 24-bit (can't remember off the top of my head). I know Paint.net (nothing to do with MS Paint) will let you save to different bit depths - Gimp probably would as well.

I also read that the 8-bit/channel in rgb is the same as 24-bit color depth in pgn. I'm doing it all through Photoshop. I will try also in paint.net if it doesn't work.

EDIT: There is one thing that bothers me. When i extract the working bootanimation photoshop says that all the pics are not in rgb mode but in indexed colors. Then im wondering how come the bootanimation is working then?
EDIT 2: Well i solved the problem by comparing with a working pgn bootanimation. I saw that the working bootanimation had Layer 0 instead of Backgroung and so i put my pics in Layer 0 and then it worked but was slow. After that I used a program to reduce the size and then I put the pics into Layer 0, RGB 8-bit/channel again and then just hit save and the bootanimation was reduced with more than 1 mb and the bootanimation isnt slow anymore but its almost perfect.

I am not sure that I actually understand what you are asking. You are asking how to change the image size in pixels without changing what? If you are trying to reduce the size of the animated gif/video you will probably need to use a program that will edit each frame. I am not familiar with Faststone photo resizer to know if it will edit frames of an animation. I use photoshop to make my splash screens and boot animations so I may not be much help to you. You may consider "Gimp" its a free photoshop type app that should help with editing frames of a gif. Here is a tutorial I used to make my first boot animation and it gave me the basic knowledge to get me started.

Once I get all my frames finished I also use Boot Animation Factory to assist with making it a working bootanimation.zip:

Ok, I think I may understand now, I believe what you need to do is put that image that is 287x176 on top of a background that is 480x800. When you use only the image that is 287x176 when you boot up the image is "stretch to fill in the screen which will make it look terrible. One other thing you can try is making the dimensions 287x176 in the desc.txt, not sure if that will work because I have never tried to use a smaller image. If you would like you can send me a pm with a link to the image and I will see if I can add the correct size background for you or see if I can give you better instructions.
