Anyone know how and where you can get wallpapers to fit on this amazing screen i cant seem to find any . all the 1280 x 720 just don t fit corectly and look bad .what am i doing wrong ,any help would be greatly appreciated .

wrong size. look here http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en....,cf.osb&cad=b

Cheers for that is fits perfect now and looks razor sharp I thought it was 1280 x 720 resolution phone so why the strange resolution ?

Dunno really. The guys in the theme and apps section had it all figured out.

Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app

Isn't the s3 resolution 720x1280? Where the width is smaller than the height???

I think it's cause, when you have more homescreens, there's more space for pictures, meaning there's virtually more pixels if you add the homescreens together.

If you used a 1280 x 720 picture just for one homescreen or the lockscreen it would fit perfectly.

Check my siggy for wallpapers for the GS III.

1440 x 1280 is the correct size (if you use scrolling wallpaper.)

Nice one

Is there anyway to download all of them without having to do it individually ?


EDIT: Never mind, just finished scrolling through to the last page and found the .ZIP with all of them

Since this link also comes up when Google searching this issue, I will correct this misinformation here as well.

Make your image 1280x1280 NOT 1440x1280. If fits perfectly. The cropper has a predefined proportion. It is square.

If you have a 1440x1280 wallpaper it will still work, you'll just have a little bit of the left and right edges of the image cropped out.

Look at your GS3 default wallpapers that come with the phone. They are all perfect square images. And when you pick an image to make it your wallpaper, notice the cropper is a perfect square. It is not some wide proportion made for 1440x1280.

Using any launcher other than Touchwiz. 1440 x 1280 is the PERFECT size for the GS3 and ANY other phone with 720p screens.

I don't have any bits 'left over' in my crop box.
