I've been making my own. 960x854 seems to be correct resolution to not have to crop the image when you set it inside the phone.

Right on for the correct resolution size. I will make some wallpapers for the XOOM and Bionic and share them with you guys.

That's not right, the correct resolution is 1080x960. Resolution for Android wallpapers as a rule of thumb is if you have HxW, the size for the wallpaper is 2*WxH

Retired: Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Incredible, VZW iPhone 4 Black 16GB, HTC Droid Incredible 2, Motorola Droid Bionic, HTC Rezound, Verizon Galaxy Nexus, VZW iPhone 5 Black 32GB
Current phone: HTC Droid DNA, S-OFF, Viper 1.2

What program do you use to edit the resolution to 960x854???
In my future, there are no errors. Only...Syntaxx.

I second this. 1080x960 is definitely correct.

960x854 seems to work but if you scale it up to a height of 960 (correct background height) you will see that 854 scales to 1079. 1 px off.

EDIT: Photoshop is the best program to resize, but I believe MS Office Picture Manager can do it too...if you are on Windows

Question Wallpaper Guidelines?

Is there a certain guideline for creating wallpapers for the bionic? I've created wallpapers in the past for different devices and they look great, but they look like crap on my bionic. I've done some searching and it seems that a lot of people are noticing that too. Guessing its just a matter of the type of display the bionic has. Some images look great on the bionic, while some look terrible. So I'm wondering if there is some sort of specifics for how you create and save the image files to ensure they look great on the bionic's screen? Is it the image's pixel per inch? Is it the color profile? Is it the image mode as in RGB or CMYK? Or the image mode as in 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit? I'm trying to find the magic combo here.

Any help would be appreciated.
