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.

Sorry if this is a repeat.
I have been playing with wallpapers on this nook since I got it around Christmas Time. I always give up before I fix issues with cropping, quality, etc. I found a program called "Wallpaper Plus" and it works like a charm. You open the program, search for your images in the gallery, set it and forget it.....
Nice. I've been using the hack with setting wallpaper while in landscape. So far that seems to work for me.
I just use Wallswitcher, plus it changes every N minutes which is nice.
Just tried this....works great!

The HD Rare Black Wallpapers from the market work beautifully on the NC. I wanted black and white because the color wallpapers all have a lot of grain in transition areas (I'm not sure if it's the NC or android that doesn't seem to support 32bit color)
What I founfd to work best is, find a wallpaper that is 5:4 aspect ratio with a height of at least 1024px. I then use QuickPic to set the image, either in portrait or landscape works the same.
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.
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.

Welcome to XDA - As a noob here, you are granted one favor. This was it. Next time all you need do is search.

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.
Hi all...
I bought one of those touchpads for $99 and finally got around to loading CM9. Very happy with it but having problems with wallpapers. TP resolution supposed to be 1024 x 768, but wallpapers that size are way too large. If I understand it properly, it may have to do with different dpi for WebOS vs Android. Any tips please?
Thanks in advance.
there's no option to apply wallpaper without cropping so I use picseed from the play store to apply wallpapers and it works well for me...hope that helps.

Thanks, will try.
Two options for setting wallpapers without having it zoom in are multipicture live wallpaper and I believe wallpaper wizdrini(I may have misspelled that, lol). I've used multipicture live wallpaper and it makes the wallpapers look much better that the default app does. Haven't tried wizdrini on the touchpad yet, but it gives fine control over exactly how the wallpaper will work on my other tablets, it should work for the touchpad. If you try it, please let me know how well it works.
Wallpaper wizardrii works pretty good and has more options for cropping or not.

hi, i've been using HP Touchpad Wallpaper Applier available on Google Play. The difference of image quality was huge. I'm not sure it is compatible with every Android versions but you should take a look !

EDIT : it was working perfectly when my touchpad was running CM9. i've not tried it yet with CM10.
Hey guys,
Was wondering if any of you know how i can get a full screen wallpaper for my Z2, since i tried the app Wizard (weird name after) and now im using Wallpaper setter.
Wizard did not work and wallpaper setter, at it's best cuts the notification bar and half the buttons of the dock.
Tried googling 1080x1776 wallpapers instead of 1080x1920 too, to no better result.
Wanted to change, since the stock wallpapers make for a crappy homescreen, since it is already a washedout screen (i come from a note 3, so probably it's just my opinion).
P.S. Was wondering if you can use any method to not crop the images on lockscreen too
Thank you
I use this to crop them perfectly. Even gallery images, just use this to set wallpaper.
