Default [Q] Screen Size

I'm trying to re size some pictures for back ground on my REVO. Does anyone know what the dimensions should be? Also is there a size limit on the jpeg?

Thanks All.

All you do is come on here and piss and moan about how crappy this phone is yet you do absolutely nothing constructive. The so called "sorry" resolution of 480x800 is correct and is exactly the same resolution as the thunderbolt and droid charge, not to mention most every other 4.3" screen phone out on the market except for the htc,sensation.

If you don't like the phone do 1 of 2 things, 1) sell it and get something else so you can piss and moan on there boards, or 2) shut up and do something constructive. Complaining is not going to encourage the dev that is here and working, and it sure isn't going to bring in others from the outside. So complaining and running others off is not going to help your "sorry" phone get any better, and you are going to be stuck with it the way it is.

i'm already stuck with it and i've been doing everything i can to make this phone better, including verbally supporting the dev that we have (funds will come later upon completion of the RevoToolKit - there's your constructive jargon for you). i'll do other "constructive" things when the time comes and when i feel like it.

also, that resolution IS sorry. it has been out for phones since the original droid x. you would think a "flagship" phone for LG like the Revolution would have more out of the box. the droid x2 has a res of 540 x 960, you can't compare our screens to the charge or any samsung phone for that matter (it's the same res, but sam's is obviously better), and even the original droid has a 480 x 854 (i'd look for more, but i think that'll suffice). my main gripe about this phone has always been about the screen.

i chose this phone over the tbolt because the battery lasts longer. i chose it over the charge because it's faster and it looks better than both phones. THERE. i said some good things about it. happy? the screen still sucks.

never knew that consumers couldn't be unhappy with the product. SURE i'll just shut up about it. news flash: devs go where they want. doesn't depend on what one person thinks about a device. besides, you have plenty of people on this forum happy about their Revo. why can't you just let me be unhappy about mine?

to the OP: like i said 480 x 800. screen size is 4.3 (not that it matters). you can make it bigger, but in order to show cleanly as a background, it has to be the same aspect ratio.

If you aren't using static wallpapers, and the wallpaper scrolls with the screen, the resolution of the width needs to be doubled to allow for the scrolling... so try 960(w) by 800(h).

I am ok with you not liking it, make yourself a thread about it, but don't go into every thread to piss and moan about it. The guy asked a question, not for your smart ass "sorry" comment. A simple 480x800 would have been plenty.

It's let go, and don't worry, I know it's not my fault. Now how about we work to make this phone the best it can be.
