Your resolution in landscape mode is 1280 x 800. That will fit perfectly. However if you rotate to portrait then your image may not fit anymore. So if you make it 1280 x 1280 then it will fit, but some part of the image may be cropped. If the image is just a simple pattern you may not see the crop.

Thanks

Height 800 pixels, Width 960 pixels, DPI 218
This is the actual dpi of the screen so you will get best 1:1 reproduction of the image.
The width being double is for the scrolling effect that Android has.
If Touchwiz does not do this, I haven't used it enough to know. Then make the Width 480 pixels.

Thanks for, not many good ones there though.
Anyone know where can good wallpapers for our Nexus, the default ones are poor.
Could anyone tell me the wallpaper size for the Galaxy Nexus? And maybe post up some good ones/links to good sites for HD wallpapers?
Cheers
I'm looking for a plain black one in case anyone can point me to one already made. I heard a black wall paper helps conserve battery power.
I'm just trying some wallpapers at the moment, and it's as annoying as trying to find one that fits well for a honeycomb tablet :/
And yeh with SAMOLED screens, darker uses less battery.

It seems like the existing wall papers have a size of 960 x 853 pixels.
I created this plain black wallpaper.

I don't know why the stock Wallpapers were released at that Res as they have to be upscaled to fit. Wallpapers for Native Res will be 1440x1280 if you want nice crisp HD.

Crop to 1440x1280 for your phone.

If I want a basic plain all-black wall paper, what format should I save it as? I know jpg works, but is there maybe a format that uses up less resources?

Plain black png will be considerably smaller I'd imagine.
I made a couple of fractal based wallpapers at 1440 x 1280, both using a black background. The second one is fairly dark, for those who want to conserve their battery without going completely black.

I don't think thats correct. It's a 720 screen so the native resolution would be 1280x720 (widescreen)

The resolution on one screen would be 720x1280. Across five screens it's 1440x1280.
The same as the old standard being 480x800 vs 960x800.
Hey guys, what's the correct dimensions for a wallpaper to fit on the Galaxy Nexus.
I know the screen is 720x1200 but I tried that resolution and the wallpaper won't fit the whole screen, thanks.

1440x1280
Im sure others have noticed this in the past with pretty much all phones.
Why is it you always have to crop the pic when you make it a home screen wallpaper, even if its the same resloution as your display?
Example. the optimus screen res is 768x1280, why cant i have a wallpaper that size??
It crops the pic to a size around 600x800 , for arguments sake.
or for example , if you have on scrolling wallpaper why not a pic thats 5376x1280. This would be one full size 768x1280 pic for each of the seven home screens.
are there any apps/hacks to fix this.
just doesnt make sense, maybe im missing something.....
side note - i dont have any paint programs on my pc at the moment so i cant verify what dpi the images im using are. nor have i checked in the past, now that i think about it. it may or may not have anything to do with the issue
Thoughts?
I put in my own wallpaper - the image needs to be 1440 x 1280 for this phone. Are you talking about adding wallpaper for each of your home screens? If that's the case, check out MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. Yeah, the 1440 x 1280 image is cropped a little bit all around, no clue why. Same with my PC monitor - if I size wallpaper exactly to its dimensions it never comes out precisely right. Always have to compensate for that, depending on which sides gets screwed up.
After getting access to the factory wallpapers, I have found they are sized at 1536 x 1280 from LG . Odd size I know.
That is what I have created mine at and they work perfect without any cropping.

it's 1536 x 1280 probably because it's 1280 tall, and 2x 768 wide to account for wallpaper scrolling
If it's 1536 x 1280 then why does my 1440 x 1280 on the phone end up being cropped shorter on every side?
Like I said, that's the size of the factory wallpapers. Give it a try. 1536 x 1280. This is the home screen size. You will crop the sides for the lock screen.
Nah, 1536 x 1280 still crops off both sides and the top. Bottom is fine. Also tried multiple sizes to well below the given screen size and they still don't come out exact.
I really don't care, just wonder why this is.
Odd as that doesn't crop for me. Gives me the option to crop, but doesn't actually crop anything.
After going through a bunch of resolutions and aspect ratio wallpapers found here
http://topwalls.net/category/abstract/page/3/
Ive decided that the aspect ratio seems to be close to 5:4. It does still crop the edges but only slightly.
Resolution seems not to matter only the ratio. I've tried pics greater than 5000 x whatever and they work fine.
At the moment I'm using the Fullscreen 5:4 @ 2560 x 2048 and they look great.
Got my PC and paint programs back up and running.gonna see if I can find the exact aspect ratio and resolution size
In Photoshop I started to figure out what the precise figures were, but even when I loaded up goofball ratios and/or dimensions much smaller than the screen's 1280 x 786 (like 400 x 300) and then on the phone chose full width, the sides were still truncated. At that point I said - screw it.
Recently got this tab for the high resolution screen but have been disappointed by the Facebook app the pictures are pixelated and videos any way to load them higher resolution ???

The Facebook app is actually designed for phones. They haven't created a tablet style version of the app yet, so you're better of viewing things in portrait mode on Facebook or try and use the website rather than the app.
Pictures are automatically compressed and loose quality when they've been uploaded to Facebook so that maybe a factor although it pretty much comes down to what the other user (who you're viewing the media from) is using to take pictures or video's and how they're uploading them. It looks perfectly fine on my Tab S.
Just because your screen is a resolution of 2560 x 1600 this doesn't mean that when a person takes a 1920 x 1080 video it will look any better than on a 2560 x 1600 screen. It should actually look a bit worse as it's 2x the pixels of 1920 x 1080 and thus your tablet is having to use 4 pixels for every one pixel that would be used on 1920 x 1080 native screen. This makes images look slightly more blocky when they're not the native resolution of the screen, though this problem is harder to see on a tablet screen due to the size of them. It's hard to describe but I've done my best.
The main area's of advantage you'll get out of a high pixel screen and the AMOLED is from better colour reproductions, clearer UI and better looking webpages/books when reading.
Hope this helps If it does give me a thanks!
And here I thought I was the only one with Facebook video problems. I am glad to know it was not my tablet acting up.
