Two options -

Easiest - visit this page on your phone. Long press an image and it will ask you to save it.

Or right-click in your pc web browser and save to your hard drive, connect your phone and via usb transfer the image to the SD card and then access wallpaper via that method.

Early on I posted about G1 Wallz - I found another site I will trying Android Wallpapers section of Androlib It looks like it might have some good wallpapers.

Anyone else using Wallr to enjoy various backgrounds? My background library is getting big, I might need a new SD card soon.

I found this site that has high res wallpapers. It doesn't have the exact Android resolution, but if you download at Fullscreen 5:4, it works really well.

Did you try 320:480 as that is the G1 and most current Android devices screen depth?

One issue with this site, all wallpaper download with the same file name...I don't like that at all.

See, now, I wasn't sure of the resolution for Android, but yes, your absolutely right. Much better now that I'm not loaded with gigantic files for background images. Thanks.

Right that of course was the other result...large files to. For future readers, not every Android OS will be this resolution, so check your specs before you complain the background looks distorted. There is a spec for a larger and a smaller screen.

Actually, I jumped the gun, downloading from Interfacelift, the 320x480 option is a portrait orientation and not landscape. So it's more fitting an iPhone than it is a 3 screen Android desktop. But it is good to know your screen resolution to get the most effective wallpaper considering resolution and file size.

And of course...I just realized from your post that I too jumped the gun...Android (G1) works best with a 640x480 for a 3 screen android desktop. Of course I did check their site and they don't have one. But I am going to write them right now, directing them to this thread.

They have to be 4:3, which is rather standard.

No, the wallpaper can be in ratio other than 4:3, but the wallpaper setting tool limits it.

Try app "Home Screen Label", it can set images wider than 4:3 as wallpaper.

A great website to check out is Serious Wheels Classic, Sports & Muscle Car Pictures if you're into automotive wallpapers. I currently have an Aston Martin wallpaper.

You need wallpaper set and save in the Android Market- Best app for not distorting wallpapers and it is FREE- Chris

Why would you want the wallpaper to be a different res than the phone's native?

I'm fairly sure set and save also doesn't work for the droids resolution, because it resizes them wrong.

A quick Model and render of the android dude... I can do other 3d stuff if there is interest...

MOD EDIT: Please don't post images wider than the site. Either resize them before uploading, or post a link[/COLOR][/B]

That is great! I was just thinking when I saw this thread active in my email that I would like some new wallpapers. I am big one movies, nature, art. If you have have some good ones I will add them to my rotation.

Got a site? I like collecting good Android Wallpaper sites.
