Yes, this is my Approach 1. For that you also need to know the size, at least roughly. But it does not look nice because I can only assume the correct size so it will get stretched unevenly. Just using the emulators for 2.1 and 2.3 using the WVGA resolution I have a change from 480x678 to 480x633. Using other home apps can provide even extremer differences. Round corners are not round anymore, etc.
