HD Wallpaper Template

scottw714 · Jun 23, 2011

I started a new post because the other template wallpaper threads are not accurate. This template will not scale and has layers of both landscape and portrait home screen outlines. I also made a layer with the landscape icon grid for adjusting backgrounds to match icon placement.

I made this template through trial and error.

The template is in .psd format.
There are 6 layers.
- 1 Landscape homepage outline (Green)
- 2 Portrait homepage outline (Red)
- 3 Landscape Icon Grid (White)
- 4 Test border (Red) used to test borders.
- 5 Wallpaper Dead Space (Greenish, used to show dead space)
- 6 Background (Dark Grey)

To use in GIMP. After opening template, goto file, open as layer. make sure opened layer is between 4 & 5th layers. Align, turn off visibility to all layers but 5 & 6, then save as a png.

Upload to tab and use stock Gallery and stretch as far as possible.

Again, the green is dead space, it will not appear once loaded.

Here are a couple of wallpapers, not great wallpapers, but HD images to show the power of our screens.

I just removed the other images, they are too big, they can be found at the link above.

Great work, Honeycomb's useless wallpaper picker is my biggest complaint with it, this will be very helpful.

i was gonna use your template to make my own wallpaper, but I found the one you made with the record and it was pretty much what I was gonna make anyway, so I totally stole it! Seriously though, thanks a bunch! you are awesome.

Post an image or a link, and I'll make a wallpaper and post it. Has to be at least 1920x1080.
1920x1200 works better if you use portrait mode.

Glad to hear it's getting used.

Give me some thanks if you like it.

Much appreciated.

Some of the ROMs have different borders, let me know.

i found on my Iconia very strange behavior

ROM HV 1.2 with Richard's Kernel 3.4

I just took one of your wallpapers (i tried as well others) and put on my home screen and directly after that i saw small pieces of those green corners on my tablet in every corner - but only on the last left or right screen - in landscape - in portrait was ok.

But after reboot - green pieces where gone and the wallpaper looks great.

Strange.

Hi, Scott,

I have tried to use your template here but I'm not having any luck getting this to do what I want, I have attached the image would you be so kind as taking a look at it and if possible fitting it to within your template. I would like it to be perfectly centered so that if in landscape or portrait it is perfectly in the middle, with a light blue background on the image.

Thanks for looking at this.

No Problem

Hope this works, I took some liberties.

The easiest way to get an image is to open it some sort of editor and make the dimensions 1918 x 1406.

My template was for the original ROM, I have since change several times and for whatever reason, each ROM is a little different. I believe the template I used was right, but if not let me know what the issues is, namely some of the green is showing up and I will see what i can do.

If you like, hit the 'Thanks' button.

Scott

Those are all awesome. I do have some green... In Landscape, I have some green on the bottom in the far right and left screen. In Portrait I have green on the bottom on all screens

I also notice that when I expand the crop picture the interior lines do not match up to the edge of the green, should they?
Thanks

Harold

Wallpapers

I redid the book Wallpapers and created the beach wallpapers.

The beach ones don't work well because the focal point is not centered and the entire purpose of the template is to not rescale an image and lose definition, I am not really interested in doing something that can be done in Paint. Take 20 mins and figure it out, or better yet, take 5 mins and Google the right resolution.

nitodu · Dec 13, 2011

and this is the right resolution? 1920 x 1408??

thanks!!

scottw714 · Dec 13, 2011

Just load it then.

I thin the actual no scaling resolution is 1918x1406, but it won't matter fro that image because it's not HD.

Yes you are correct. The correct resolution of the wallpaper for the A500 is 1920x1408. Not sure where others are getting their information from, but the wallpapers that come stock with the A500 are ALL 1920x1408.

scottw714 · Dec 14, 2011

Damn kjy, wish I would have had that info long ago.

I got my dimensions by trial and error, using a magnifying glass to see exactly where the borders were, looks like i was off a pixel or two.

Thanks for the info and sorry nitudo for giving out bad info.

RJOent · Dec 14, 2011

you rock! thanks for this..

He he all you had to do was go into the launcher2.apk, pull one of the stock wallpapers out, and open it in Photoshop to get the correct Res.
