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.

Lmao he just didn't link his subject. Here's the YouTube video.. It's not translated but I have to say, I'm loving the Feel UX lock screen. That is one think I definitely would love ported.

Looks Beautiful. Even though it's kind of basic when it comes to customization, it looks great.

You can accomplish this UI with the current apps on the playstore... Desktop Visualizer, Widget Locker, Multi Live Wallpaper and a little Gimp/Photoshop to make the wallpaper and some time... boom you have a very basic UI I think sharp isn't going to go anywhere with this.

I don't get why they put icons inside of squares. Its like putting an icon inside an icon which leaves you with a 3 column app tray. Think about all the scrolling you'd have to do.
The lock screen is cool and I'm sure the app store will have something similar soon enough.

Lock screen does look awesome.

its similar, use multi-live-wallpaper and set crop to "Fit to screen" (this is my version of it) if anyone wants it. I personally do not like this UI but I thought i would take a step toward what some ppl want. Ill make the icons 2mrw if you guys want em. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffkbkwgxqvm681a/FEELUI.rar Enjoy!

this is more than just a home screen transition.
nothing out there (that i have seen at least) gives you vertical scrolling on the home screen as well as horizontal scrolling.
also, the lock screen is more than just a widgetlocker theme. the clock wont be on the bottom, and it wont scroll, the lock screen wallpaper wont scroll, you cant slide the lock icon up, and get the options, you dont get the nicer looking missed call/mail/sms pop ups.
this goes MUCH further than just some skin.
I just read an article about this from The Verge and i'm intrigued. The developers created Next interface and seem to be onto something. They feel the desktop is an unnecessary step to get to the app tray. Fair point, why have a bunch of apps then hit a button to get to your other apps? In the quest to be pc-like, Android has a desktop and widgets. Great, but I do see the point being made here. Oh, and notifications were redesigned.

A full port would be amazing. It would become my daily for sure, it's so creative and the design and fonts and everything is so beautiful. I love clean looks.
Would love a port...but its not gonna be out for a while...considering Feel UX phones arent even out yet in Japan.

Very impressed with the slick lockscreen, but not so impressed with the basic UI otherwise. Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, adding lines in between rows of icons is not a feature.

IMO Galactic core is the best, but also I like Blue skies and Fresh leaves a lot.
Just bought True Weather LWP and it's definitely one of the most beautiful wallpapers I've ever seen. There also a free version for testing.
Nice Setting
Try My Beach HD LWP.:good:

Give "Mystic Halo" a go, if you like a simple dark wallpaper ..just installed it today..
Thanks everyone for so many suggestions!
i think the original is the best.:good:
Can anyone point me to a space/cosmology-oriented live wallpaper? I'd only use a live one if I could get something of that theme, would appreciate it, thanks!
Apart from the 'Galactic Core' one already mentioned, try 'Asteroid Belt Free' and 'Shadow Galaxy'.
'Quads' is awesome, although it can be slow in some situations.
City at Night
Microbes
Black Hole
Space Robot
Mario

Silhouette
Use Force Fields . You can put it on top of any image and it looks awesome.
Not only it is very light on battery , the fact that you can change the image keeping the live feeling is awesome.
Stripe ICS LWP
Currently I am using the Galactic Core one, which looks fantastic on the S3 <3 I have tried a lot of LWP but I get bored of them.
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!

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?

+++ 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...
If anyone comes across Galaxy Note 2 boot screen paper please post.

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

Hello, do you guys also noticed that sometimes screen transition is laggy? Is there any chance to get different ones, especially those which are not using 3D effects, like regular side to side plain slide? Of course without any different launcher.
I'm on GalaTab3 overhauled rom which is a bit faster than stock but still transition is laggy a bit.

I'm using T311 stock rooted.
It does lag a bit IF I swipe immediately after exiting an app or unlocking the screen. It only happens on those occasions.
Have you tried clearing your ram?
Sure, constantly. But this is not lagging at all in typical sense, I think it is just overdone animation. I tried othet launchers and I had to do unbelievable things to make it lag. Maily because I used regular slide side to side transition without any 3D effects. I also tried one launcher which had that new 3D glass effect looking like you turn big thick sheet of glass, and nothing!!! Works perfect.
I just need someone to create recompiled kernel, rom or something, but stock with plain screen slide animation instead of factory default 3d page turning one. Stock firmware is quite good just transition is crappy, reminding me of cheap tablets.
