Using QR Codes to apply a wallpaper

  2. Point the camera toward the screen so that the full QR Code image fits inside of the Barcode Scanner view finder
  3. Once the Barcode Scanner app reads the code, you will be given the option to open the link in a browser window
  4. Choose open in browser
  5. Your browser app should open and load the image
  6. Click the link to download the image
  7. The download list will appear, and you will see the "Image_Title-ThemeAndroid.jpeg" or similar file being downloaded
  8. Once the download is complete, press once on "Image_Title-ThemeAndroid.jpeg" or similar file
  9. You will now be viewing the image in the built in gallery app of the Android OS
  10. Press the menu button and choose "Set as"
  11. Then choose Wallpaper
This method allows all images download from our site to be stored in the "download" section of the Android Gallery, allowing you to view/delete/or apply wallpapers anytime from your phone by opening the built in Gallery app.

What are QR Codesqrcode?

QR Codes are advanced 2D versions of barcodes.  Any Android powered device with a camera can read these codes if you have installed a Barcode Scanner app.

If you have not installed this app, we suggest that you do.  Many different mobile sites use these codes to direct users to content on their mobile device.

To install:

  1. Simply navigate to your Android Market and search for "Barcode Scanner".
  2. Install Barcode Scanner
  3. Open Barcode Scanner
  4. Point your camera at the image to the right.
  5. The Barcode Scanner app should read the QR Code and if you see the hidden message, you've successfully installed the Barcode Scanner app.

Android Wallpaper Resolutions

There are three popular screen sizes for phones that utilize Android OS:

  • QVGA (240x320)
  • HVGA (320x480)
    • G1
    • Droid Eris
    • HTC Hero
    • myTouch 3G
  • FWVGA (480x854)
    • Droid

You will see below all of our wallpaper images three QR Codes for each of these resolutions.  Our wallpapers have been sized to fit these resolutions and span across all three home screens.
