Is it possible to make a full album as a wallpaper and make it switch photos every 5 seconds
+1
or maybe to change wallpaper every day..
thats gonna be cool..
There's a free app in the market called 'WallSwitch' which would change your wallpaper automatically. I had it set to every half hour, it's a great application. Don't think it goes in to seconds, as far as I can remember one minute was the shortest, but imo that would get boring unless you have *loads* of wallpapers.
The WorldTour app does the same thing using images from webcams. They have cool ones like that of the earth that changes as time progresses.
yeah, i also use wallswitch, great for switching wallpaper. tried one other app (wallpaperchange or something) but did not understand how to make it work.
so for the time being, i just recommend using wallswitch
awesome thanks!

is there a way to have your home wallpaper at just 480x320 resolution where it just stays in the same place & doesn't scroll behind the icons? without using a home replacement app.
"wallpaper set and save" in the market

I am not sure what the previous post meant? You need to compile your own launcher with eclipse. When you download the source from git, there is a launcher.java file which allows you to change the number of homescreens. I am trying to figure out how to do the actual compiling. If you find out let me know.
I think I have this figured out. When I am able to make a 3 screen launcher, I will also do a 1 screen, and post it for you.
what he wants or wants to know, is if it can be set up to make his icons more from screen to screen, but have his wallpaper not move (now it moves a little bit left or right when you slide to a different screen.) I have never seen such a thing myself to stop this from happening.
the "wallpaper set and save" app worked perfectly. thank you
Wallpaper Plus
well you can use wallpaper plus but its a paid app but it works and you can also crop the selected image for the single screen and that'' leave it as one image but will suck in landscape since its cropped and wont strecth but i suggest it, works very well

what I do is, I take a 320x480 image and use wallpaper set and save app, and the wallpaper doesn't move just my 5 screens do, but I don't know if thats a possibility on the stock rom, I;m using CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1
what someone should do is make it to where itll show a DIFFERENT wallpaper for every screen...

that would be nice!!
Wallpaper plus does that for you.
Although the app isn't free lol
Maybe I'm missing something? Whenever I go to set a picture in my gallery as a wallpaper, it becomes ridiculously zoomed in and grainy?
I haven't had my phone that long but I've looked and I'm sure I'm forgetting to check something somewhere or something... anyone know what i'm not doing?
The picture I set as a wallpaper always looks fine in the gallery..
I believe android only supports 16 bit wallpapers. You are seeing color banding. I noticed it too.
ya but why does it zoom in on the picture? the picture included in the crop box isn't even all there

Have you tried holding the border of the crop box and expanding it as large as possible?
Also, the, "Backgrounds" app sets nice, clear wallpapers if you set them from within the app.
Wallpaper set and save fixed it for me.
go get a free app called flikie wallpaper and use that to set backrounds, even your own pics or whatever the pic may be, when the phone asks what program to use to set wallpaper, use this app ( you will see the icon there)
should help i have huge crisp wallpapers and love them

In order to get the wallpaper to look properly without zooming in on part of the picture, the picture has to be resized to 960x800, then the wallpaper will look sharp. Try this wallpaper and see if it works for you if it does then the issue is the size of the wallpaper your using.
Ok I just downloaded the wallpaper I uploaded but the size changed. So forget about the idea lol. Just take a wallpaper with a high resolution and use paint the resize it and upload it the your phone. Apply it as a wallpaper and your done.
I tried to both of those apps and neither let me set a picture saved on my phone. I tried making the crop box small, big, nothing works

Hello everyone! New to the forums here and JUST rooted my Aria over the weekend. In my personal way of giving back I'd like to make available this sweet Omnislash live wallpaper I put together. In order to use the wallpaper, you need the app LWP Creator from the app store. If you can't find it in the app store for what ever reason you can alternatively navigate to this webpage:
http://www.simproduction.com/lwpcreator.html
on your phones browser. Then click the link ownload me (Android only link)
This will take you to the application in the market. Download and Install.
Next you'll need to download my Omnislash folder which simply contains the live wallpaper frame by frame in .png format. You can download that here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/orzyp29tk2w2rd9/omnislash.zip
After you download the folder, unzip it and move it to your phone's SD Card.
I recommend putting it in the Download folder on the SD Card to make it easy to find but you can put it anywhere you like.
Once it's on your SD Card disconnect your phone from your computer and let the SD Card remount on the phone. Then, on the main screen on your phone, tap and hold on any blank area. As if you were adding a widget or application, and scroll down to wallpapers on that menu.
Then scroll down to live wallpapers at the bottom of the next menu. If you don't see the live wallpapers option the livewallpapers.apk is not installed on your phone. If you need help installing that just post, I or someone here will help you.
In the live wallpapers you should see an option called LWP Creator. If you do not see this option you do not have the LWP Creator app installed (See above). If you do have the app installed, tap the LWP Creator. There should be some yellow text on the screen talkin some nonsense about folder paths. Ignore that.
Tap settings on the bottom right. In this menu make sure "Sd card?" is checked which it should be by default. Then tap folder path just below it. Navigate to where you put the Omnislash folder on your SD Card. After you find the folder, tap it.
You should now see several files named 01.png 02.png 03.png etc... Select the third option on the bottom of the screen called select all. There should now be a red X next to all of the png files. Now tap Submit, the left option.
It will now take you back to the main settings screen. Here you can edit the framerate of the wallpaper and the Placement and Sizing. I just set the frame rate to 60 fps and that looks nice. It still looks nice on lower frame rates and lower framerates are more battery efficient.
Then on the Placement and Sizing option, select Middle (No resizing). After setting the options tap the back button on the phone and you should see the animation playing! If so tap the set wallpaper button on the bottom left and watch as Cloud Strife rapes face behind all your awesome apps. If you didn't see the animation you did something wrong and need to read all this again -.-
I hope who ever uses this enjoys it, I know I do. And thanks again for all the people that helped me make my Aria as awesome as it should be,
Enjoy!!!
Here is a link to the video I used to make the wallpaper. The wallpaper plays from 1:02 to the end of the video. It does not include the little screen that the person put in that video if you happen to see that when you click at 1:02...

Since no one has commented id like to be the first to say that its amazing great job i just wish there was a way the images could fit the whole screen

First off, thanks for the reply! I was beginning to think there were no FF7 fans on here... heresy I know... Secondly, it does in fact hit the whole screen! Return to the LWP Creator via the method explained above. When you enter the settings screen, look for a scaling option. I made the wallpaper to fit perfectly in landscape mode, I'm guessing it's not fitting because you use your phone in portrait mode, I still have all of the original files, I guess I can also upload a portrait version, will post a link soon. Thanks again for enjoying it!
Ugh, nevermind... Sorry, but resizing the video for portrait mode makes it stretch in an ugly way. It's basically the same as the normal wallpaper viewed in portrait mode, only stretched vertically a bit more, still has black bars on the top and bottom... Unless you REALLY want it I'm going to hold off on making it...
If you're using CM6, R01, you could do what I do and use the phone in constant landscape mode. The ADW allows for the actions on upswipe and down swipe motions on the screen. I have my phone set to only 1 home screen, so no scrolling.
Then, I have the 5 ADW action buttons over on the right, they also have no background and look very nice. (click link for pic!)

Then when I slide down, those 5 disappear and 5 new ones appear with the faded black on the right. (click link for pic!)
http://www.mediafire.com/i/?9p09c9d6con9297
Then sliding up on the home screen brings up my app drawer. (click link for pic!)

Also, I have the Power management widget with a transparent background off to the left. This setup makes it very easy to get to any of my apps without the need of multiple home screens, plus, the omnislash LWP looks amazing. I'm also running dumfuq's OC kernel at 806Mhz. This runs the wallpaper incredibly well, (plus it allows for 100% super nintendo emulation with sound! (doesn't help with PSX very much though -.-)) Check out these pics!
I really hope people, especially FF fans, check this out. From one fan to another, this came out REALLY well, and it's by far the best final fantasy wallpaper out there, and believe me, I checked...
Also, if you're feeling particularly lazy... feel free to post a youtube URL along with the start and stop times of a live wallpaper you'd like and I'd be happy to get it for you. They will be formatted to work with the LWP Creator app with the instructions provided in the first post. Try to pick short clips, for example, the omnislash wallpaper is about a minute long, the LWP Creator allows for 300 total frames, this allowed the video to be about 9.5 frames per second. The shorter the video, the more FPS, more FPS, the better it looks.
I look forward to your requests!
Yea i use my phone in portrait mode but no prob man i love the wallpaper.

Good job, this works well. =)
can u make one of the live wallpaper on the htc flyer.. send your replly at my email..
[email protected]
hey, this is very cool. great job! love seeing creativity!
I know there was another thread similar to this, but this is getting kind of annoying. Android seems to assume that your device is portrait and when setting up wallpaper, this is apparent. The majority of wallpaper I've tried have been cut off one way or another, most annoyingly is the one I wanted to try today. Absolutely unusable.
http://content.wallpapers-room.com/...com___Matte_Wide_by_SaizenMedia_1680x1050.jpg
When I saved the image, looks perfect. When setting it up for wallpaper, the sides looked to be cut off, no problem. That's tolerable. When I actually applied, I barely got the top half of the image.. lol
I know android isnt really built for tablets just yet, but there has to be a better way.. if someone has an idea and I have to write an app for it myself, I'll do it... lol I can't be the only one bothered by this.
Actually i kind bothered with a similiar question.. i read wallpapers should have 1024x600.. then i made some of my own. NOW i cant apply them. Stupid androind always asks me to crop them, so they look horrible. Dont know how to apply a simple wallpaper. Anoying...
Thank goodness it's not just me!
Was having the same issue, but thought it was just me. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why all of my images looked borked up whenever selected as wallpaper.
Download multipicture live wallpaper from the market. I use this and am now able to see high res wallpapers in their entirety. You can set it up so that each time you swipe between home pages a different photo is shown but I just have one photo as my background.
Hey guys. For a while I was using a wallpaper that was actually two wallpapers, half on one side half on the other side, and 2 homescreens. What this did was let me have a "different" wallpaper for each homescreen.
I am completely redoing my homescreens with widgets and to make it overal more informational/functional. I will now have a total of 4 screens, I might stick to 3 screens if I get rid of my calender/agenda widget.
The problem I'm having is when I make a wallpaper with 3 or 4 images of the same size as the screen, when I go to set it, it forces me to select an area based on that aspect ratio... I want to get rid of it, so I can use a wallpaper that's 3 or 4 "screens" wide, and use 3 or 4 homescreens. That way when I scroll over screens it has a different background.
Is this possible? with either forcing the picture manually somewhere? or with an app of some sort?
Thanks in advanced for any input!

You just need to shrink the image down to the right size.
Thats the point... I don't want to have to make it the aspect ratio it wants me to. I have a picture the size I want, but when I want to use it, it cuts off extra on the side that I put there on purpose in an effort to make it appear that I have a different wallpaper for each homescreen.

Its not the size that you want if its cutting off the sides.... lets toss some logic into this.
There is a live wallpaper that does what your looking for, its called multi live wallpaper or something similar to that.
How do you know what size I want. I'm telling you what size I want. And I want it for a reason. Try reading through both my posts.. I can't see how o can dumb up my goal any more that what it is...

I've already told you what you need to do. Use it or don't, I don't care.
I believe Android limits the maximum resolution to 2x width of screen resolution. I'm not sure as I have no experience with other screen sizes and Android. Increase would require some depth of code manipulation that may result in more RAM use than would be practical.
I'm talking out of my ass here, but really, if Google thought the idea would have been practical, they probably would have implemented it to begin with, or in one of the many updates Android has had.
Maybe request the author of whatever 3rd party launcher you like make it an option. I'm sure the launcher programs can be written at the very least to place images over the home screen.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
This will allow you to have a different picture for each screen.
You could also try something like Flikie. I am not sure if it will manage images greater than 960x800 in resolution. Never tried it. Might be worth a shot
Went with the Live Wallpaper thing. Thanks for that input!
