It seems like wallapapers that I find/download (even if they are in 800x480 res), look pixelated and not as good looking as they should be on my wallpaper. Anyone know where/how I can make my wallpapers look crisp/hd like the retina wallpapers on the iPhone 4?
Try searching for them in the android market.
There apps for this on market. I used zedge

Thanks for the replies guys. The HD wall papers I found in the market still came out pixelated and distorted when I set them as my wallpaper.
After some google searching, I found out that you have to double the width of the native resolution in Android phones that stretch out the wallpaper over a number of screens vs. one static screen.
For future reference, the Galaxy S2 (480x800 native), needs wallpapers at 960x800 res for it to look nice and crisp. Problem fixed, I'm in love with the S2 screen again =]

Is there any way to get a non sliding and non cropped wallpaper for the Galaxy S, manual way or via application ?
Its really bothering me that the wallpapers are cropped and ultra pixelated even if the crop box is set to the largest.. I mean there has to be a way around this aside from using another launcher..

960x800 is the size you need for the best quality background (.PNG). As for a non-sliding background, you have to use a launcher that has that option, LauncherPro would be the way to go (ADW if you prefer, either way).
What's the best resolution for wallpapers for my desire hd ?
480x960 as far as I'm aware is the best.
Also if you didn't know, when selecting a big as picture for a wallpaper and you get that box which you can move around to select what you want to display as the wallpaper, you can also resize it by dragging outwards at the corners.
I use 960x800 which seems to fit nicely across the 7 screens.
I used to have a wallpaper app on my Evo that allowed me to use wallpapers without having to crop them the way the stock wallpaper app does. It was called wallpaper plus but is no longer available. Does anyone know of an app like this?
I'm not looking for an app that downloads wallpapers, only that allows me to crop them the way I need or not crop them at all.
Thanks!!
It's not the size of your toys, its what you do with them that matters!!!
i use wallpaper wizardrii. not perfect, but has quite a few options

As long as it allows me to use wallpapers I download from the web or transfer from my Mac or PC. I don't understand why Android makes you crop just a small portion of the image. The Wallpaper Plus app I had allowed me to crop it so that it fit right without having to be enlarged and pixelated. I'll give the one you mention a try and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion
What I've been using since I got my Acer a500 last year is multi picture live wallpaper. It allows you to use 1 or multiple wallpapers and uses them in actual size. It uses minimal battery and is buttery smooth.
Good afternoon guys and girls who own this beautiful sexy phone! I have some problems with our device regarding the wallpapers. How do i put 720x1280 wallpaper that i download to be on fullscreen on our phone? Whenever i try to set as wallpaper it takes only a portion of the hd wallpaper and zooms and it looks like ****. If you did not understand what i mean i will try to explain better. Thanks mates!
You can use the app called "Crop wallpaper" from Google Play Store. We all know what You are talking about 'cause we all suffer this problem.

Homscreen wallpapers have to be 1440x1280. While lockscreen wallpapers are 720x1280.
On the other hand, there are 3rd party apps that let you use 720x1280 as homescreen wallaper without any cropping. I dont know the app but a similar topic was discussed here on xda before.
does anyone have a good source for HD wallpapers that fit our phone? Tired of using apps like Zedge and when you preview the pic it fills the screen, but when you go to set the wallpaper through the phone it forces you to crop the sides so much you only get about half the pic.
Thanks,
