    you're right, the resolution of the screen is 854x480. but the home screen sides left and right, so to fill that entire area up, you need to use an image that's 960x854. when you open the image in your gallery, set it as your wallpaper, then tap the box till you see the arrows and drag it out so it's max sized. that should give you the full 960x854 wallpaper.

    I'm using GDE as my home app. I have downloaded several wallpapers. Some of them have text or an image that should be centered to look good. However, when I apply that wallpaper with GDE, the text is off centered when looking at the home screen. How do I correct so that it displays properly on my home screen? Not so concerned with the other screens and how they look, but for example; I have a Droid Eye wallpaper, that I'd like to display on my "home" screen with the eye and DROID text centered on that screen. Help!!

    THANK YOU!!!! I was going out of my mind with the"crop" screen. This concept should be stickied in the background gallery.

    just remember that if you do not have at least a 960 x 854 pic it will not have that hi-res look that everyone wants... and everyone please stretch out the orange box on the pic when you set your wallpaper... if not it will not be 100%.... pm me if you have any wallpaper/theme questions

    Thanks for the info glad there are people who really know what they are talking unlike the sales employees at Verison. When I went to go try it for the second time I was trying to figure out how to get steet view with compass mode and they all didnt know what the hell I was talking about lol. It took the main rep 20 minutes before he figured it out and was looking online as well. Thats very sad that they didnt know one of the basic features of the GPS which has been on android for a while now.
