What if you have an approximately 16:9 (1.777777 aspect ratio) image that you want to rotate and turn into wallpaper? so it is not exactly 1080 width x 1920 height when rotated? If it is close, you can stretch the image and you probably won't notice that it is stretched. Solve for x.) To lessen the effect, you could resize the image for a three-pane setup, using dimensions 1215 x 1080, but the image would still look terribly smushed. If you squeezed this into the display, the image would look highly skewed, because the height would need to shrink to 607.5. The new dimensions are 1920 width x 1080 height. Let's say we have an image that is 1080 width x 1920 height, and we turn it on its side and squeeze it into the display.

Instructions for 1080 x 1920 image on LG G2: The Gallery tool allows you to select either single pane (more rectangular 0.5625), or three panes (more squarish 1.125).

When Android selects it as a wallpaper, it will trim blank canvas area and your portrait will fit beautifully, with no bluriness. So the best way to prepare an image for your phone's wallpaper with scrolling disabled is to create a new Photoshop document whose canvas size is one of the above listed resolutions, paste the image onto the canvas, and stretch or shrink the layer until the top and bottom edges touch the edges of the canvas, and save the image.
If you select a picture that is not a ratio of the above resolutions, it will first trim the top and bottom borders of the image first (if too tall), and then continue to trim the sides, resulting in super bluriness and loss of image data. When scrolling is disabled, 25% of the left border and 25% of the right borders are trimmed off.
Any resolution higher will not result in clearer images.

For optimal clarity wallpapers, the image's height should be the height of your screen and width 2X that of the width.
