Around a year back I found an automatic wallpaper changer that was able to randomly rotate pictures. But the nice thing is it was also able to do it with a fading transition effects between each rotation.
If I remember correctly it was an xml file, that required live wallpaper. I don't remember the specific of how I was able to make it work, however my phone was quite old and even though the transition worked, it was quite choppy. Recently i just bought a samsung s2 and want to try it again, but I can't find that thread after hours of searching. I regret not backing up that file.
So if anyone know of this or perhaps a new app that is able to do this, I would be very grateful.
You could try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mlevit.wallpaperswitch&hl=en.
Unfortunately this isnt what I'm looking for thank you though.
Try WallMe, I think that's the name. There's a free and paid version in the market, but the free version did everything I needed, including the fade transition. You have to change the settings for fade, it's set to zoom by default.
I now use MultiPicture LWP. It uses a different picture for each screen but also can pull from a folder. I like it better, but WallMe Lite seems more like what you are looking for.

huzzah! just what i was looking for thank you very much, I hope they add a feature to control the speed of the transition later on.

I've been using WallSwitch 2.0.2 (latest version) but it's buggy as hell, and the dev no longer supports it, or works on it.
Does anyone know of a similar app that actually works? I've tried a lot, but most of them suck.
have you tried zedge?
I used Wallpaper Changer from jvelin and Multi Picture Live Wallpaper, both work.
the paid version of pwall is AWESOME. i have over 200 wallpapers switching every hour from 9am-1159pm. you can have them change as often as you want, any time of day.
Yep i recommend you the paid version of pwall it's fantastic
I use Tasker. There's a how-to on the tasker wiki (which I can't link to) but it's a very simple setup.
I've looked around here for a while, but I can't find an answer.
I'm using a rooted Tab 10.1. I'm using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to set the five screens, and I have no problem with that.
I do, however, have a problem setting the lock screen wallpaper. I've tried changing it by hitting the + then going to wallpaper, I've tried changing it from the gallery itself, but nothing's working.
The tab flashes for a second as if it's changing wallpapers, but then when I got to the lock screen, the default one is still there. It's not a huge deal as it obviously doesn't affect how the tab actually works, but it's annoying that something so simple isn't working properly.
Any ideas here?
edit: and yes, I've tried setting the lockscreen wallpaper from within Multipicture Live Wallpaper. Still not working. :\
thanks!

On Stock Touch Wiz UX, you have two options when you change the wallpaper, it will ask if you want to change Home Screen or Lockscreen, you can have two different ones but it seems live wallpapers or "wallpaper apps" outside of Gallery can cause bugs in this preventing the wallpaper from changing or even displaying properly. Sometimes on mine when I change it, (its random when this happens too) is, the wallpaper sometimes gets cut off on the edges with a huge black crop, I have to switch to portrait and then back to Landscape for the wallpaper to display properly, I've noticed it only does it with Wizidrii Wallpaper app installed, it must do some sort of modification to the wallpaper settings that causes it, once I uninstall it, the wallpapers work perfectly fine. Using the multipicture Live Wallpaper could be affecting the Lockscreen settings preventing it from changing, what I recommend would be to try changing the lockscreen FIRST before using the Live Wallpaper your trying to set with the lockscreen of your choice.
I would try using just regular images instead of live wallpapers to see if that affects it also, a rooted rom could be the culprit too since custom Honeycomb ROM's are glitchy at best since Google never released its source code yet.
Should have mentioned, even when I use a normal wallpaper, like one that came with the tab, I still cannot set the lockscreen.
I'm using the default ROM, just rooted it.

Have you tried just going to Settings -} Screen-} ScreenDisplay... And changing the wallpaper from there?
I have perrty much the same setup your running except in not rooted. On a side note, I don't have any issues with setting my lockscreen wallpaper using any method. Could it have something to do with root?

Got the same problem with Overcome Rom installed, can't change the lockscreen wallpaper, tried all ways, via Gallery, Settings, Multi Live Wallpaper, it simply remains the orange stock one, only if i try it via MLW after unlocking the device the selected wall flashes for a split second....anyone got an idea about that?
Having the same issue with Task's ROM. I can change the regular wallpaper fine, going it settings-screen and changing there does nothing. It goes through the process but when you return, nothing has changed. Even rebooted after changing to see if it needed that and I can't change that paper.
I'm not sure what triggers it, but my wallpaper will be full screen, then all of a sudden it'll just be a square in the middle, as in the sides get cut off, if I rotate it, it usually goes back to normal once it's horizontal again, but it randomly does this and it's driving me so crazy. It's rooted and I'm running Starburst... I've been searching for posts about this but I can't find anything, helpppp. SO annoying!
It doesn't seem to matter what launcher I'm using either.
Same problem for me... Any idea for fixing it ?
To be honest getting wallpaper set on this thing is way harder than it should be, I still haven't worked out a good way to do it. It just ends up cropped, or fugly, or both.
Way harder than it needs to be.
I can get a nice looking wallpaper cropped and everything, but when I'm doing things it randomly gets cut off and looks like crap.

Yeah I just saw the same thing happen.
So how does everyone get wallpaper to show up without it being cropped? Do you need to download WP larger than 1280x800 so that it can be cropped down to that, or is there an app that'll do it? I've tried several but none seem to work.
I have a thread here discussing how you correctly size a wallpaper to fit your tablet.
So far I've worked out how to do it for ADW Launcher, which selects wallpapers the same way it does for Android phones but I need to look a bit more into TouchWiz.
Other than that there are a number of apps that offer you more control over your wallpapers.Firstly there's MultiPicture Live Wallpaper which allows you to set different images on each page of your homescreen.
Secondly there's Wallpaper for Tablets which lets you set a different landscape and portrait wallpaper and will correctly display a 1280x800 image without cropping.
Last, there's Wallpaper Wizardrii but the controls are really poor and it doesn't offer you anything that one or other of the first two apps I linked-to can't do.
To begin with, I'm far from new to Android, just new to Samsung and the Note.
Also - I know I'm not the only one with this problem but I haven't run across a solution yet. I can take and image I want to use as a wallpaper and, on the lock screen and the Touch whiz home screen and it looks exactly like I want it to. But, since I'm one of those folks who dislikes the fact that I can't swap out apps on the TW launcher bar, I slap my own launcher on the Note to make it mine again. Unfortunately, then comes the annoying part.......
Whatever photo I put up as wallpaper looses resolution and seems to explode in size so that only about 1/4 of the original wallpaper/ photo is visible and what's left is very blurry. I know this isn't limited to just one launcher - I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro, Nemus, Go Launcher, Holo, and a few more I can't remember the names of right now. And they all give me the same problem.
So far I've changed the format of the wallpaper photo to .png or .jpeg and back again, tweaked the size and resolution of the picture, dug through XDA and a few other forums fort wisdom, and used harsh language on my Note - all to no avail. So, can anyone tell me what I'm missing or if there's any hope for me at all? I'm rooted stock 2.3.6 and would prefer, for various reasons, to stay that way for now. But, at this point I'm willing to consider options if all else fails since I'm getting quite annoyed by this.
Thanks for any help/ insight!
Use the Quickpic app to set the wallpaper.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

I've been trying for days now to make some live wallpaper myself. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739512 and messed around with the script on there. It's working on and off. I don't know why it doesn't work all the time.
I managed to make a working Dell Streak live wallpaper. It works on my Streak. I have to adjust the fps in settings because the standard of 20fps is way too slow. Also adjust the size in settings because standard it's set to small.
I've also search everywhere on a good tutorial on how to make live wallpaper, but all I can find is stuff on how to code it so it generates circles and stuff like that. Not on how to use video or image files. Can someone tell me where to find a good guide on this?
Below is the live wallpaper I made. (It's the same one as the bootanimation I made, just to test it.)
Check the video to see what I mean. I'm not sure if this is possible with normal live wallpaper. It will probably move way too slow.
I'm using Video Live Wallpaper in the video.
