What is your favourite wallpaper? I've had varying experiences with wallpapers I've used on the Hero, some look good some don't.
What wallpapers do you use both for the lock screen and the home screen? This is my current lock screen wallpaper:
And my homepage wallpaper is from Vista:
Maybe we could all post/share images of our wallpapers which we think work rather well? I've also found that a plain black background looks pretty good on the homescreen too.
I use these.
If anyone wants the full jpg pm your email.
I took these photos. Views from my window btw.
Currently using these ones (as attached).
Also attached a shot of how my home screen looks with the 1st wallpaper.
There are some great ones here :

What resolution are we actually supposed to be using for our wallpapers? Am I right in thinking its 620 x 480?
I know the screen res is only 320 x 480, but theres 7 parts to this screen, heard a roumer that they had 50px moved when sliding from one side to the other (150px on normal android)
Just found out its 640 x 480, close
You can use any size image, when you choose a wallpaper you are presented with a box which you can change the dimensions of to have it scaled correctly. The actual aspect ratio would have to be equivalent to 640*480 to avoid having to crop part of it though.

It appears from your third picture that you have fitted you Hero with a protective case. Would you mind telling which one it is? Thanks
Sorry for the off-topic
Love the martien one thxz....and do any of you know what kind of flower the second one is....maybe a lotus ??

Hello guys! U may try the application from market called "wallpapers" made by Mabilo android team. U can find there a lot of categories of wallpapers and u can download and save in to your phone if u desire.
I can't wait to get my hero on the 11th....can't we use the g1 wallpapers..?
Here's my lock screen (default size 1920x1200):
I needed to choose a dark background due to the default white font from Drizzy's lock screen.

I thought I was the only one who arranged his apps in the top and bottom rows only. I no longer feel special
So I keep seeing threads pop up on wallpaper this & Wallpaper that.
I thought it would be cool if we started a thread on usable and favorite wall paper for the Gtab.
(Please keep this thread on track for the subject)
Here are two that I created quickly I had these made originally for my Hero, so I just increased the size.
Here are some Diamond plate ones.
And some more of the fur type
Fire and Ice
Shattered Screen
Android puzzle
Nice looking backgrounds, may have to try a couple.

Thank you for sharing .
Do live wallpapers count? If so there are three witch I've tried and work okay on this beast..
Super Mario Live
3D Matrix & Reloaded Live
Rotate Earth Live
Silhouette Live
Canopy Live
A couple dozen others I tried only showed/worked partially.
For regular wallpapers I've got a Martian sunset, the only panoramic view of Venus' surface from the Russian probe, a couple of Earth orbit and Earth's city lights from space... some anime I'll post them when I get home.
Yes Live wallpapers would count, post all wallpapers so everyone can check them out.
I'm not on my gtab right now so I can post the wps I have but I'd like to share this website where I downloaded some wallpapers. Cool thing about this site is, if you go to the website using your gtab, there's a process in there that will auto detect your wallpaper size. If you don't want it to autodetect, you can also choose the resolution you want. After you choose the size a preview will pop up and you can long press to save it or set it as your wallpaper. The wallpapers look great.
You don't have to sign up and there's some pretty cool wallpapers.

Here are some pretty cool wallpapers
The first two are from the anime Bleach, don't know if any of you read or watch the anime/manga. 1st is Ichigo in his new hollow form, 2nd is Ulquiorra in his release form.
The last two are from where else-space! 1st is an earth orbit shoot. 2nd a Martian sunset from taken by the Spirit rover. PS. Look at how tiny the sun looks like from Mars..
Look at page one I will edit my post and post some more.
i've found that wallpapers on the zeam launcher work pretty much perfect. the launcher is smart enough to resize it properly without having to zoom in much. needless to say, i'm sticking with this launcher from now on. only thing that it doesn't have for me is being able to save your configuration.
and here are a whole bunch of 1024x1024 wallpapers: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/apple_devices/ipad_1024x1024/
yea i know its ipad but hey, its 1024x1024.
I like this one
Anyone know where to get this wallpaper
would really like to find it to continue working on my overall theme
Thanks
aquarium free and aquarium donate work great.. Im using it on my tab right now.. love the turtle and the little treasure chest
I dunno if they made it, but I remember that wp from cyanogen mod Makto, you'll be able to find it on their latest rom.
Silly question, but...
Why is it that my tablet will crop images from widescreen to square when selecting an image as wallpaper?

i think thats an android limitation. not sure though because it does the same on my Droid, crops the pic as a square.

It does it for the side scrolling effect. For example on a 480x800 res phone which is normally in portrait you need to use a 960x800 sized image to avoid it being cropped (if you turn the phone landscape it crops the bottom of the image).
The best solution I've found for the Gtab is to use 1024x1024 images (heaps here http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/apple_devices/ipad_1024x1024/) and set them using the app Wallpaper Set & Save.
I have spent the last several hours downloading wallpapers from 4walled.org for my phone. The wallpapers look so nice on the computer, and I really wanted to start theming my phone with them.
So I've loaded up the 300+ wallpapers to my SD-card, and as I start browsing through them in the gallery, I have realized one immutable fact: they all look horrible. The gradients aren't really gradient, they're splotchy.
It was my understanding that this phone's LCD was capable of 24bit color? Perhaps it is not and this is where my woes are from. I have also noticed that .PNG backgrounds do seem to look better than the .jpg counterparts.
Any comments or wisdom into selecting backgrounds would be greatly appreciated.
I just looked at some of those images and they dont look that high quality to me. Maybe your monitor is older and made them look better than they are. Check here for some more. Maybe you will find some you like. http://wallbase.cc/start/
Look up "wallpaper set and save" on market, it will eliminate the color banding you get when you set a wallpaper through the gallery app.
Also make sure the resolution on any wall you get is a minimum of 960x800.

I use fish bowl photo which will also eliminate the banding. dodol wallpaper maker works great for setting portrait wallpapers too.

Thank you for that site, I always used Interfacelift.net. Nice addition.
I regularly raid DeviantArt for backgrounds and use Wallpaper Wizardrii to set the wallpapers. WW allows you to set a properly sized background without cropping.

Do you prefer that over the Fish Bowl Gallery? And does it support high-resolution images?

I've never used Fish Bowl. I only just started using WW today, but I would think that the no crop feature would only work on a wallpaper that was at or below the correct size for the display.
its all about nik.bot.nu thanks for wallbase.cc tho, another site to lose large chunks of my life too lmao
I get my wallpapers from socwall.com. Thats where I found my current wallpaper.
Thanks for all the links and the info! I will surely check those out!

This.
Wallpaper Set and Save will fix what you've described, including the gradients issues you've mentioned.

I usually go with two homescreen setups, but I'm playing around with a one screen setup. The problem is, I can't figure out how to get a custom wallpaper to fit right. For two homescreens, 960x800 fits perfectly. But when i try 480x800 for one screen, it only lets me use 480x400 of it.
What's the deal?
You can create a wallpaper 960x800 than paste the 480x800 wallpaper at the left or in the middle of the 960x800 wallpaper. I'm not really sure left or middle but I think this will work.
There's this app called wallpaper wizardri on the market? It resizes the picture to fit the screen and you can disable scrolling if you want. It used to be buggy, so I stopped using it, but this was a while back and has probably been fixed.

The wallpapers for Z1 are for example 960x800 .JPG (this is how I do and what I use), it will be impossible to select this wallpaper format without to crop them because they are made for landscapes. To select a full image without crop them for Lock Screen you have to use 480x800 .JPG format (480x800 you will crop just a little bit) or bigger one but you have to keep that scale! This is the solution. Try.

Sorry Proff but you don't make any sanse. Do not matter which format you will use for lock screen, if not for some quality which is good with 480x800, to not crop the pictures he has to understand to download the wellpaper in different scale to do it like he like.

Haha I don't make any sence.
Coming from a guy who tries to explain by using a totally wrong picture size to begin with.
Only way the guy is going to get a picture that is not stretched or pixelated is using 1080x1920 or bigger (ratio on 1080x1920 is:
Height is 1.777~ larger than width. That's why you say you only have to crop a little with 480x800. the ratio there is 1.666~.
You can have a smaller image than 1080x1920 and no crop, as long as you have the same ratio.
It will still look like sh**t.
Please don't tell me a stretched and cropped 480x800 is going to look good:silly:
And again, why do they have to be jpg?
Shazaib! What size is the image?

Without me he will never know what is all about because I did what I should to let you explain how it's work.
Anyway I just like JPG, that's all, and of curse have to be the right ratio, in my words I say "scale".
What I saying is all what I do, is not invented, so here is my lock screen with 480x800 format and to me look good.

I know, buy he didn't understood anyway, so 480x800 or 1080x1920, (NOT 1080x1980, sorry my bad!) he have just to choose which he want to use and go via Personalization > Lock Screen > Album. At last @benziii said the right things as well so I just said this again, even if with different format.
