EDIT: I have the 8.9" version. I figured it would be the same on both... Guess not.
I have Nova launcher installed, and I installed a gallery app but every time I choose a wallpaper it crashes the app...
Is there a way to set a wallpaper from an image on the device?
Do you have the ICS Galllery apk installed? That is about the only one that works with mine. Also, wallpaper apps work with nova/apex/adw/go.

I do, it always crashes when it gets to the crop part :/
Probably should have specified that I have the 8.9" version.
I have the same problem on my 8.9.
Search the play store for an app called "kindle fire - wallpaper change" it works like a charm.
You will still need "ics gallery" to look for the wallpaper you want after launching kindle fire wallpaper Change. Just select do not crop.
Also don't use the stock photo app to select your images. For some reason they come out blurry if you select them with the stock app instead of the ics gallery.

Look no further than "Mulitpicture live wallpaper" on the market, it will make this right.

Install the gallery.apk moving it to system/app changing permission. Then long hold on desktop and click wallpaper / gallery. Then pick one.

Anyone know if any third party launchers will work on the Fire HD 8.9? Like Nova, Apex, or Go...just wondering at this point. Haven't got mine yet!
many people use third party launchers.
the thing is that we got lost root after firmware update from amazon.

7.2.2 working with root 7"
7.2.2 now rooted using this method:

And so far, i have Go Launcher HD working great.
Chameleon, ADW and APEX not working yet, force closing, but may be something i've not configured correctly.
EVERY launcher I've tried so far worked, it's just important to make sure that there are no spaces in the filename when you put the file into the system folder I've noticed that by taking a close look at the launchers, which used to crash immediately, and got them working by removing the space in the filename.
I personally prefer using adw launcher 1.3.3.8.

Yes all launchers I downloaded from the play store so have worked. You just need to convert it to a system app. The short of it: move apk from /data/app/ folder to /system/app/ folder, then reboot

Has any one gotten beautiful widgets working right? I'm rooted and have the play store and nova launcher working. But every time I try to place a widget it just says Beautiful Widgets has closed. Widgets from other apps work just fine.

Working fine on kindle fire hd 7" 7.2.1 running beautiful widgets version 4.10.4 on nova launcher version 1.3.3

On my rooted KFHD 7 (7.2.3) using the widget picker found on this forum and Go Launcher Tablet edition, the standard beautiful widgets FC; the HD edition of BF do work but they don't scale nice, the 4*2 clock seems to need at least 3 rows and the whole width of the tablet.

I'm having the same exact problem. Let us know if you get it figured out - I'm working on it now as well. Thanks!
No progress on my part. I tried moving the APK to /system/apps and changing the permissions, but that didn't help at all.

I couldn't get it working so I tried out HD widgets which works quite nicely instead. Only catch is its not compatible with this device on the Play Store. I had to sideload it.

Hi,
I am the developer lead of beautiful widgets.
Just to say, the best place for troubles with our apps is our support website : support.levelupstudio.com

Hey guys,
i dont now if this is the right thread to post it.
i just got my kindle fire 10.2.4 version. I didn't root it and installe the adw ex launcher. It works perfect until i try to set up widgets. After i press "widgets" simply nothing happens. I tried the AppWidgetPicker apk. then i can see all my widgets. After i choose one it says "AppWidgetPicker" closed and nothing happens.
I read that is becaus you have to copy the widgetpicker apk to system->apps. If i try that, it says "copied" but if i look in the folder afterwards the apk. is not there. Is there any other solution? I just want the widgets on my adw screen.
Thank you!
You have to be rooted to put files in system/app/ folder.

My current ROM (CyanogenMOD 7.2) came with QuickPic replacing the stock gallery, as many ROMs do. However either I don't know how to use it, or the app is crap, because everytime I try to apply an image as wallpaper using QuickPic, it comes too stretched, even if the image is the exact resolution of the Ace (320x480). Can someone tell me another gallery that behaves like stock? Or if I can get the stock one again?

If you want the cm-gallery back download the official cm7.2 and extract the app from it and paste it in system/app/(here) and give it tge permission rwrr
I personally never had problems with quickpic..are you using the latest version?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
In my opinion Quickpic is the best gallery app I have ever used.. But still if you're having problems do what Blackbox421 has suggested..
Try using Gallery ICS app..
If you already have the wallpaper that's resized for your ace, cropping it would only make it look worse. Drag n adjust the box that appears on the image when you choose to set a wallpaper & see to it that it covers the entire image. Now set the wallpaper.
Quickpic is the ultimate app. You do not know how to use it.

We need to keep clean General Thread!
Quickpick is the best but you can try Fish bowl Photo Gallery, F-Stop Media Gallery, DroidIris+ and Pictarine too
Also you can try wallpaper changer by j4velin.
