[Q] Best HD Wallpapers APP

Wassup everybody,
Im here looking to see if anybody knows if there is any app that has HD wallpapers that fit well on the G2 withouth having it look a little weird or too close to the wallpaper picture. I know there is a lot of HD wallpaper apps in the market but, the thing is it all says the same but end up having wallpapers with high resolution or something that once you apply it as your background the wallpaper looks a little bit different but in a bad way like all... too close or not perfect idk how to explain it. But what I'm looking for is a wallpaper app that shows the wall papers full hd with the right fit and resolution just like the ones that are put in the Cyanogen mod wallpapers and that comes with the phone. Or if there's anyway I can edit the large pictures myself, meaning size and etc, please let me know thanks...

I use HD wallpapers. Free on Market. Has a good selection.

Zedge is a good wallpaper/ringtone/notification app. Not really sure how HD the wallpapers are, but they look great on my G2.

Why do you even need to do that? You can crop just about any photo in your gallery for use as wallpaper within Android.
Alternately, you can use most any photo manipulation software on your desktop computer to scale/crop the image to 960x800, then copy it to your phone. If you don't have any such software, GIMP is a good, free, open-source one.

Maybe a Black Wallpaper would improve battery life?

In super amoled light background doesn't really affect the battery.
Other than your really conscious about the battery life i suggest turning off the LV wallpaper and replacing it with black.

Actually it's been proven otherwise back in November.
Black vs White background at different brightness levels:

Look forward to you comparison!
Don't surrender to colors!

Amoled works almost the same as plasma. Each pixel illuminates.

And brighter images use more power. Sucks manufacturers are limiting power consumption on plasmas by reducing power on bright images.

Umm yeah, welcome to 2009. We all know black colors use less power than white on amoled screens.

^seriously.
Also, who spends so much time looking at their wallpaper (especially a boring, solid color) to notice any difference?

I put black wallpaper I got those ugly black spots in the screen. blah

I used to use a black wallpaper because hey, why not, save on the battery, right?
Then I thought about how often my phone is actually displaying my wallpaper and decided it's a trivial matter. It's only ever a few seconds before I tap on something on my homescreen and it goes away. If I was constantly reading info off of widgets, at length, I'd care about it more.
These days I just load up whatever picture I think I'd like to see every now and then. Although I did like the clear contrast of pure black vs the icons etc.
Edit: Also the test linked to in one of the first replies, worth noting that Minimum brightness, white image is only slightly worse than the black results. Brightness matters more than color. Dial it down and look at whatever colors you like best.

Pssst...download no wallpaper app from market. Its a true no wallpaper display.

I've never used anything other than black on any mobile I've ever used.

I use a solid black wallpaper, but not to save battery. I just like the way it looks.

For me black wallpaper does matter coz if i open my phone its like 2 seconds before i launch and app leaving the home screen. ^o^

I suggest you themes with inverted apps like mine if you really wanna save something, a wallpaper does not saves that much

Doesn't this happen due to a low res not pure black image being used?
I never had that issue, so unless something is wrong with your display I suggest trying a different image

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 .

Where to get Wallpapers?

I'm trying to get some nice blue and silver or red and black wallpapers for this device but I'm not sure where I can find any with the correct aspect ratio and resolution and such. Anyone know? Thank you!

It's real hit-or-miss, but going to Google can be a real time saver.
Go to Google images and insert the argument imagesize:768x1280 (search term)
Hope this helps

Excellent HQ nature wallpapers for the Optimus G...

http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/any/index1.html
Don't know how many of you know about this site, but it's got a great collection of HQ nature wallpapers, so I thought I'd make mention of it here. The thing I like is you can download them at 768x1280, the actual Optimus G resolution (most HD wallpapers come at 720x1280). Of course, you can use them on your desktop/laptop, too. The site's got some really beautiful images that you might want to check out.

Thank you. Now have a great image of the Carina nebulae as my lock screen wallpaper.
Can't figure out how to take a screenshot of the lock screen though...
