"I finally found the exact settings to make pixel-perfect wallpaper for your VX6000. This will allow you to make wallpaper that fills the whole screen, without the white borders on top and bottom. This is exactly what I do...

I'm using Photoshop

Make your images 120x131

Save it as a PNG file ... Interlace=None

Send the image to your phone with an e-mail to xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com

Open the pix message and save the pic

Change wallpaper - Menu 9,2,3,1 - It's in your Graphics Gallery

There you go! This is awesome! Now you can make perfect graphics and logos for your phone.

Hint: If you want something to be unobstructed by the banner and clock, place it between these horizontal lines: 30 pixels and 121 pixels."

First off this should be in the wallpaper section of the LG thread.
Second there is already a write up about it here that was posted around october.
And third they do not have to be PNG files only the simple BMP file at 120x131. And it will works just great.

This is all great, but unless I missed it who has posted a way to get the image on the phone without stretching it? On my old LG 5350 I did it so it made a white bar like a quarter inch at the bottom of the image only (a photoshop thing) so when you put it on the phone the extra white section would go under the menu/contact bar and that would make the proportions on the rest of the image stay the same..ill have to get the right settings and let you know.... for instance i have a pic of my fiance up right now and her face is stretched now using the 120x131 method.....

it all depends on how you extract the image that you want.

you'll either have to resize the canvas, resize the image or make the crop-lines the same proportion (120X131, 240X262, etc.).

if the image is too big to fit in 120X131, try making the crop-lines proportionately bigger. maybe, 200X211, then resize the image to 120X131.

if you want the image to stay small, resize the canvas. this should add space around the edge of the pic without distorting the image.

The reason that the 147 by 160 fits is that it is the same 'ratio' as the 120 by 131 image. But using a bigger size image like that makes the image take up more space on the phone than it really needs to. A 120 by 131 .bmp will take up just a hair over 47 KB. A 147 by 160 image will take up almost 70KB.

What I do is to first crop a photo to a 120 by 131 ratio, then I resize that pic to 120 by 131. I then save it as a jpeg to a folder that I keep just for pics that I have or will upload to the phone.

Then I use bitpim 0.7 beta 2 (1 will work also) to add the pics that I want to the phone and send (replace). The beta versions of Bitpim 0.7 will upload only the pics that are newly added or changed and they'll also automatically change the format from .jpg to .bmp on the phone, so that they'll just take up the screen space available for wallpaper.

i like these instructions more so than the other.

and saving as a .jpg or .png reduces the image to half the size of a .bmp

From the bitpim website...
http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/#download

Be sure and follow the directions there in regard to renaming or deleting your existing bitpim directory in my documents (if you are running a previous version of bitpim, which you should uninstall before installing the new version).
