How about a LWP that takes a user specified animated GIF and shows it as a live wallpaper? I'd look into making it myself if I had the spare time.

There ya go, we have an app name and idea, someone code it up
Another cool thing should be to use a video looping as live Wallpaper...I've search any app to do that, unsucessfully...

Cool... but what about battery life?
Video looping as live wallpaper. Would be GRE. I had a first Gen iPhone and jailbroke it to make of do the same. The only thing though. It ate the battery life. Lol
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I actually think GIFs would be worse for battery life than videos would be.
Flash would be better than Gif !
I don't think it would consume a lot battery because some LG/Samsung s phone have it.
There is an app called Kwall live Camera which shows the camera view as your wallpaper. Very cool to show off but will chew through your battery in a matter of minutes
I've got Silhouette LWP, which is slightly more complex than an animated GIF, on my N1 and still get ~ 19h battery life. Keep in mind that the LWP should only be running when the Home screen is showing. I definitely think this is do-able without too much battery impact, if done right.
If anyone manages to make the app, it would rock!
I'm currently trying to program a video loop to become live wallpaper.. google has a nice tutorial but it does not use images..

call me sad but every time i see his damn sig i have to look at it for a few secs! captivating
I dont know why, but the videos are laging for me :S Without doing anything the fps jumps from 10 to 20... even after fresh phone reboot and ticking the smooth video option...
Try killing some apps. I know that Timescape and Skype are the 2 major apps that lags the video, without them running, my video runs smooth with all the other uses.
so how do we create our own walls/videos like that?
how can i create live wallpaper like that ?
sorry, i get it
it's on youtube link
1. Download Video Live Wallpaper and install it.
2. Choose it as your Live Wallpaper default.
3. Press preferences.
4. Press "Video file or directory" to choose a video file. (It has to be in *.mp4 format though)
5. Enjoy your favorite video as your background!

yer same here my battery goes down fast with the live wallpapers i tried lowering the display and still it drops im using one called thunderstorm best i find so far free and paid version there but im gonna go back as well to plain wallpaper not worth the battery drain
my battery is suprisingly good. i lose maybe 10 percent every 5 hours or so. but as for wallpapers, im using the one with the asian girl cleaning the screen.
i get a bit of lag now and then but it fixes itself after a few seconds and runs fine after that. usually happens after closing a game or sometimes facebook app.
plus the girl looks like my gf which she found hilarious haha
any sugestions to dl good lws??

I have tried the aquarium wallpaper and I like it more than the grass or mario live wallpapers.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I have a few live wallpapers that I really like and I can never decide on which one to stay with.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any kind of program that will allow me to set up and select from my live wallpapers and have it switch like every 24 hours or something?
TIA,
Whiteice
Good question..........Wondering this too.
yes i have seen it i will try to find it and let you know but it does excist:
ok so type "multipicture live wallpaper" that has a different one for each screen and its free
nd I cant find the original one I saw maybe u like maybe u hate maybe an asteroid hits earth
Great Idea... someone with the skills should make a slideshow wall paper app... I'd pay some money for it

Thanks Dozenboy. I think this program is to take different still pictures and cycle through them as wallpapers.
I am actually looking for something that will cycle through the multiple "live" wallpapers I have.
Thank you for your help,
Whiteice
It's not a live wallpaper but wallswitch is a good app.
well im not afraid to admit it but im super lazy atm and was wondering if anyone could post some video game wallpapers hd prefered also if theyd fit the size of the tablet itd be great you can either post pictures of them or a zip file containing them would be AWESOME.. and some abstract/random wallpapers would be good too please and thankyou in advance
Have you looked at Wallbase because they have a lot of everything including gaming wallpaper, you just have to know how to search for it.
I second that, wallbase is great.

If you are using the stock browser you can long press on an image and select "set as wallpaper". It will auto crop if necessary, the result is just as good as if you cropped manually or sometimes even better.

There is an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and it will crop very little of your image and most of the image should show. It's very useful and a lot of the forum members here use it.
Rooted my Fire and installed CM7. I am trying to install wallpaper but i cant get the size figured out. When i go to set the jpg as the wallpaper it is making me draw a box around an area and the box is smaller than the jpg. The wallpapers that come with CM7 work and look great, but i cant figure out the size of the screen for wallpapers i want to make. Thanks
Something like 960x800 (default Zedge wallpapers size) worked for me.
Take a look on that pack.
Around 40 wallpapers from there, simply chosen by me.

can you get the zedge app on the amazon app market?
Can't tell you, I'm on CM7.
Try simply search for "Zedge" or if you can't get it through Amazon, try to sideload it. Apk for you is right here.
The app is free, so nothing criminal, I think.
It looks like the wallpaper size is actually 1024x600
I'm having an issue installing wallpapers. I'm trying to pull them from my gallery but it keeps re-sizing.
Is there some trick to keeping the original size?

This appears to be the same problem i am having. The gallery is making me re-size the pic.
Same thing for me it forces me to resize and the quality turns to crap
No luck. I tried .jgp and .png files. Tried all kinds of different sizes and it still makes me crop it......
Have this problem with Gallery too.
Only option now for me is 960x800, at least looking not so low-res.
I tend to stick to very simple Live Wallpapers or none at all due to how fugly any image file tends to look
anyone come up with a solution to this problem yet?
this stupid problem ... I too annoying.
I just set wallpapers through PicSpeed Wallpapers. When it asks you to resize, pick the portrait box and it looks good
Sent from my Samsung Fascinate on the XDA app
If you search google for a wallpaper that is 2048x1600 or something huge like that and use it on CM7 it works out looking great, at least it did for me.

You can do this with WallBase. make sure whatever wallpapers you want(whether they be from your pc or downloaded on to your Kindle) are in the "saved" folder of the "WallBase" folder. You don't even have to resize it. It also keeps all the images high res.
