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.

So you didn't understood what we just said? I said this again, download wallpaper 1080x1980, This is FULL wallpaper format for lock screens, go to Personalization > Lock Screen > Album and select that wallpaper. Click Thanx.

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.

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 :
http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/any/
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

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
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.

I used firetiger's method, worked perfectly. Thanks guy!
currently when you choose a picture from the gallery and make it a wallpaper you have to crop most of the picture to fit the box, which is usually half the size of the picture..
there has to be a way to make a picture just fit full screen? even if there is a black bar on the sides or top?

Hey
Hopefully some photoshop pro's can give me some advice.
I have noticed that the size for wallpapers are 1600x1280 or 800x1280 but i have been trying to make the dark pie theme wallpaper fit my note, now i have set it to the above sizes, but it just looks awful once i set it.
First time photoshop user but it seemed quite easy to set the size you want in "IMAGE" but i am having a hard time getting it spot on for some reason.
Anybody be so kind to correct this for me, i will attach the image file. i was told psd file can be edited better or something which i also have but its like 60mb!
So appreciate any help or tips also.
Thank you.
Hello.
I'm not too sure but have you noticed when you select a wallpaper it has this blue grid (rectangle) box?
That might have something to do with it.

do you mean when you import it to photoshop? if so then yeah when i import the psd it does, but if i import just the image file it does not. I will try and find someone who can teach how to set it correctly. Very difficult to do but i am sure its easy for the pros in photoshop lol.
