Similar to screensaver managers you'd find on other OS's? My preference is for it to randomise upon startup, anyone got any ideas? Is there a way to do it via Tasker?
Please bare in mind that I'm asking how to randomise live wallpapers, not standard, thanks!
There's an app called Multipicture live wallpaper. Allows you to choose a folder or album and lets you set things up. All you do is double tap screen if you want to change on the fly or let iit randomize on its own. This also puts a different picture on every screen. THE drawback is this app isn't ICS supported yet. It doesn't work on stock launcher. BuT if you get ADW launcher it works on that for some reason.
That's not for live wallpaper though is it?

Appreciate your guys time, but you're missing the point of the thread
I've used an app called Zedge on my Incredible2 and my Nook Color running Cyanogenmod 7 to download and set wallpapers and it has an option to randomize which wallpaper is displayed and change it automatically at an interval you set.
I haven't tried it on my TFP or ICS yet but I would recommend giving it a shot.

On my phone running 2.3 the lockscreen shows whatever wallpaper I normally have including live wallpapers. However, it looks like in 3.1 you need to choose a separate wallpaper for the lockscreen and it won't let me choose a live wallpaper. Does anyone know a work around for this?
I don't know it, but it would be nice to have!
+1 would like to know too!

Bah I was trying to figure this out myself!
Someone please figure this out
Even with 3.0 on the tab you got the live wallpaper on the lockscreen. The 3.1 update brought with it the (for lack of a better term) "dead wallpaper lockscreen".
All I can figure is that this must be their way of goading us into making custom roms...

Yes, while using the Desktop Dock in clock mode you get the currently selected Live Wallpaper. Can't find a way to get this on the lockscreen though. Perhaps 3.2???
My Xoom on 3.1 had live wall lockscreen so it can't be a 3.1 issue. While it's nice to have the option of separate walls, it would also be nice to have the option to have the same live wall across the entire device....you listening sammy?

Any update on this?
WidgetLocker doesnt look right on the tablet...
When I flashed the pda md5 in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119492) it worked perfect. Then I flashed Bonsai and it went back to no live wallpaper...
Got to be an easier way?
Also running Bonsai. It's annoying as it seems like the 'dead' wallpaper which is setup in the default settings actually overwrites the live wallpaper being displayed under the lock screen. The live wallpaper is there, just covered up.
Example: using Multi Picture Live Wallpaper, set the lock screen wallpaper to some distinct image, and the desktop to another image. The lock screen wallpaper will default to whatever is selected in the tablet settings. When you unlock, you should see a flash of the selected lock screen 'live' wallpaper which is displayed 'under' the dead wallpaper...
I played with settings in Multi Picture, but it doesn't seem to be able to override this.
If you keep access to the original Nook homescreen (stock) then when you longpress on it and click on wallpapers, you can install live wallpapers.
If you enable the live wallpaper from here, you can then see the live wallpaper on your other home replacement such as GoLauncherEX or ADW.
You must change the settings each time from the stock Nook homescreen.
I hope this helps you guys out if you were interested in running live wallpapers on your NT.

Nice find... I was getting ready to port android live wallpapers over, but this works fine.
***UPDATE***
Multipicture Live Wallpaper works great with this...
Exactly. Definitely wanted multipicture live.

Nice find, but if I'm not mistaken this will absolutely destroy your battery life -- given the screen size.
The nt supports lwp's anyway. I actually bought one frome the b&n store and the option appeared automatically to accommodate it.

I guess I don't understand how it works.
Do Live Wallpapers still keep consuming battery life when the screen is off?
On EInk displays any animation destroys battery life. It takes almost no current to maintain a static display.
Active displays like the Nook and Fire I would not expect a lot of difference in the display current draw for animations. The big deal here would be taking the processor out of idle to generate the changing display.
This would certainly be a fruitful area for a test. Love to hear the result!
And this is with the display on. Display off may shut down everything related to the screen.
Thank you. I was trying to figure this out. Should have known to look here first.
for the life of me i cant figure out how to add wallpaper to my nook tablet. it either stretches it or cuts it off. I'm sure its something I'm just overlooking but it's driving me crazy. thanks for the help..
Are you using the correct sized wallpaper? I don't recall the actual size but it's listed in Themes and Apps thread.

If you mean you don't want your pictures cropped like the stock gallery makes you do, I recommend checking out an app called QuickPic from the Android Market. The app is free and it lets you have better control of how much of the wallpaper picture you want to show.
I was looking for correct wallpaper sizes and stumbled across this site. Nice selection. And free.

I've been using the PicSpeed wallpaper app to both download and apply HD wallpapers. They have a pretty good selection of papers and using the app to apply the wallpaper changes seems to result, to me at least, to be much better resolution and cropping.
Excuse me if I missed it but I'm interested in getting my wallpaper cropped, panoramic, and scrolling as they did in my Galaxy S2 and Fascinate. I know some people are using different launchers to accomplish this. Which one and are they able to crop the wallpaper properly prior to setting it? I also have one other request. I need my live wallpapers to scroll as well since I have one that slightly rotates in either direction when panning thru my home pages. Why is this feature not included on the Note? I sure do miss it. Thanks for your assistance.

I was wondering this myself. I was quite boggled when I went to make my wallpaper my favorite TRON: Legacy wallpaper with LauncherPro and it was completely wrong.
I can get them to scroll when using ADW and Go launchers but it doesn't change the fact that we have to crop them in a portrait shape instead of a landscape shape like we want. Also, my live wallpaper will not rotate no matter what launcher I use. I'm doubting ICS will give us this option either. Maybe a custom ROM is our only hope Great, back to the custom ROM world of bugs...
Autosize DbD wallpaper set is the app you need to pick up to crop or fit a wallpaper correctly without having it enlarged.
Scrolling wallpaper works for me on the launcher called ashell
Both these apps are free and lightweight

Do you think this will allow live wallpapers to scroll? I have several that move when moving from page to page when used in my galaxy 2 or fascinate
If you use the skyrocket wallpaperpicker.apk (will try and post it up later)
it allows landscape selection.

I have some 1280/800 wallpapers that I would like to use but when selecting them you can insert the whole pic. You have to crop etc and then you can't see the whole wallpaper.. is there anyway to get my full picture on screen
Giving it some beans on my blue S3 Powered by CheckROM EvoHD™ V2
I use Multipicture Live Wallpaper, and choose the option to show the whole picture. You can have different pictures for each of your Home Screens, or just one across them all.

I had this problem too, but don't worry it will completely work. Thanks to lost sorrow who gave me lessons.
You don't open it from the app drawer. You open it by pressing to add the wallpaper and when it asks you to choose what app or wallpaper to open say live wallpaper and when you do it will ask if you want to open regular live wallpaper or the multilive app.
It will take some tinkering to learn to use he app but there's a TON of different settings and configurations to allow you to do everything under the sun. Personally, I set it to use one wallpaper image that doesn't change, so my wallpaper stays in place and the launcher home pages rotate on top of the one wallpaper. You can also have the wallpaper change at each homescreen or use one wallpaper that turns with home pages but stays the same image, etc.
PicSpeed and Tablet Wallpaper also do the trick. Same thing as above. Choose wallpaper in gallery and choose one of these programs to apply it as wallpaper. This has been answered several times in Themes section.
