What is the image size and resolution I should prepare images for Codename One?

I'm putting some images into Codename One but they don't look nice. I'd like to ask some generic questions regarding using images with Codename One.

Say, if I have a splash screen which occupies the entire screen on portrait mode, what is the image size and resolution I should prepare the image file? That is, this is the big size and would fit on a large device without pixelation and automatically scales down on smaller devices (using Multi-images).

I guess once I get the advice on the image size and resolution, I can prepare images in their starting big size, and let it scale down proportionately to smaller devices.

Since there are many devices out there with different screen sizes and DPI/PPI, you can't keep up with the biggest size and resolution. For instance, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has a screen resolution of 1440 x 2560px while iPhone 7 plus has a 1080 x 1920px...generating images of these sizes will increase your app size tremendously.

As a personal preference, I keep my original image resolution at a maximum of 800 x 1280px and I ignore Very low, Low, 560, 2HD and 4K when I'm generating Multi-images.

HD will be used for any screen size above it while Medium is used for anything below it. Using this, I never noticed any pixelation on the real devices and I've tested on both devices I mentioned above.
