High res backround

jjairal · #1 (**permalink**) 03-26-2009, 03:54 AM

Does anyone know a way to keep the resolution of a pic u set to the backround. Seems to ger blurry everytime i add it compared to the way it looks in the picture viewer.

Make sure it's 480x640. If it's smaller or larger than that it will resize it and look blurry. If it's too small you might have to find a better image.

Try these:

yeah thats the res ive been using but when added as a wallpaper it still seems to blurr it up maybe a higher than the normal 480x640 will work better

I've noticed that if youre using TF3D it doesn't actually use 480x640 pixels do to the curtains at the top and bottom...so maybe a square picture will work?

yeah what ive been doing is resizing the pic to about 480 x 500 and adding the bottom part as a white empty space to fill to 640. i can see the whole pic fine none is cut off but looks slighty blurry not as sharp as i see it in the photo album.

I notice the same thing. I have a bunch of wallpapers at 480x640 and they're definitely blurry when used as the wallpaper, but if you look at them in the photo viewer they're sharp. I'm running grooveROM 4 (wm 6.1 with HD manilla). I'm not sure if I noticed this on the Stock Sprint ROM or not, never paid that much attention.

My pictures look nice and sharp on mine.

Here you go:

Save this template and add your wallpaper into it, and then use it as your wallpaper. It will be cropped right and look great.

Have to give that a try. Thanks

It's still not as sharp.

Screenshot inside photo viewer (the one I was using before putting it in the template above):

nevermind the weird overlay part on the bottom, was using it to darken the bg below the slider bar on the bottom of manila.

Does this have something to do with using HD Manila?
