Galaxy Nexus Wallpaper resolution

[daihard]

Hi.

I've been looking for a site that has wallpapers for the Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any place that hosts 720x1280 images, which I believe is the screen resolution of the GN. Some sites say they have 1440x1280 and claim that they are optimized for the GN. How does that work? I thought finding wallpapers would be a lot easier, but I'm obviously missing something.

Any help would be much appreciated.

On this forum go to galaxy Nexus extras and then graphics, a ton in there.

Both of those are the size of the wall papers for the gnex... The difference... Us with the wall paper being 1440 wide... In your launcher... The wallpaper will scroll side to side instead of just sitting there

Thanks guys. I went to the Extras page. They mostly have 1440x1280 images. So what's the deal with scrollable wallpapers? How can I set one without having to crop the image?

Thanks again!

Welcome to the forum,

What launcher are you running? Have you selected the option to disable wallpaper scrolling ?

There is a bit of an anomaly with the implementation of setting a wallpaper in 3rd party apps.

While the actual size of the screen is 720x1280, the softkeys at the bottom take up 96 pixels. This seems to be a point of confusion for the apps that can be used to set wallpapers.

With the stock launcher and any of the market gallery apps if you choose an 1440x1280 image it will make you crop it for height.

I have a gallery of images sized @ 720 x 1184 help yourself, links are in my sig

Thanks for the reply. I was using the default launcher. After Googling a bit more, I came across an app named Zedge. That works beautifully.

I'll check out your link too. Thanks for the info!

I can't seem to find the option to disable wallpaper scrolling anywhere in the Settings. Would you show me where it's at? Thanks again!

The stock launcher doesn't have that setting, I use GoLauncher, I believe Nova and ADW launchers have it as well

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the info. I am pretty comfortable using 1440x1280 wallpapers now, so it's all good.
