Best wallpaper size? - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

What wallpaper size should I look for to have a crisp clear wallpaper that all fits and scrolls with the home screens? 1280x800 don't look or fit that great so in a bit confused.
Also any sites or apps you guys recommend for finding wallpapers?

I'd be interested in knowing this too, I'm using my N7 in landscape with the tablet UI and no matter what I try it crops the wallpaper all to hell. Is there any way to get it to display the wallpaper properly in wide screen?

I like flickie, and I just discovered picspeed. Both in market.
+1 on your question about size. I'm not clear on that either.

yeah. if you want the exact size to fit all 5 home screens, it's 1600 x 1280. that's the size that shows up in the below file:
/data/system/users/0/wallpaper_info.xml

I hate scrolling wallpaper, I prefer an exact size image on each screen. Hope Multi-picture wallpaper works on the N7 (haven't got mine yet).

Image editing

Does an app exist that allows you to edit the size of an image? Like a wallpaper that gets cut off on the sides of the main screen. If I could change the size of the image it would look better.
Thanks

I usually just use Multi picture live wallpaper. It let's you fit the image to the size of the screen without cutting it off.

I wish I used lwp. But I can't find any good ones. Only ones I like are phase beam and nexus but phase beam annoys me because it doesn't scroll and nexus o wish I could change the background. Other lwp just always make my icons and clock and stuff hard to see or the wallpaper colors don't match my phone enough or something.

How did u make this wallpaper? Or where did you get it from? Really like it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I find my wallpaper stunning !
If you don't mind the background being a battery killer, I use Electricsheep. It's really trippy and all my friends comment on it the first time they see it.
I use static. I don't get enough benefit out of the live to justify the battery drain.

Go with static. The battery needs all the help it can get!

I bought nexus revamped pro from the play store and you can put other backgrounds and customize it to your hearts content. I like it especially as you can set it to just show a wallpaper after your battery reaches a percentage of your choosing - battery wise I still get 15-16 hours with around 3 plus hrs of screen time.

Everybody uses that YouTube tutorial home screen. Its becoming a lot less cool. I use the Galaxy Pack which is a dope collection lwp.

[Q] setting full resolution wallpaper

I was wondering how can you set a picture to be a wallpaper without cropping? I tried stretching the box but it just can't make the whole picture as my wallpaper.
Stock ROM, custom user.

If you are only going to use it in portrait mode you can download an app called wallpaper wizardrii. It will allow you to crop the picture for portrait only.

I've been struggling to find a way to keep wallpapers from looking grainy. I found that the resolution has to be higher than 1900x1200 because of the "cross" that android uses, cutting out and zooming on a picture. I'm going to give you guys a link to a pack that I have been working on that looks good on my tablet and DNA. 99% of the wallpapers look good. There are 2 that may not be suitable for work but they are nudity free.

To keep wallpapers from losing quality when you set them, use Image 2 Wallpaper. Great app.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper is great.
And you also have AnimGIF LWP for using gif files as wallpaper

If you wanted to go the manual approach just resize to 1280 × 720
