[APP][1.5+] WebLiveWallpaper: set whatever you want as wallpaper or widget! (v0.98.4)

WebLiveWallpaper: Set content (galleries/animations/sites/cams from the web or local files/folders) as Live Wallpaper, live widget or as picture frame.
Create your personal show, create your own (animated) wallpaper with JavaScript!
Original first post:
I wrote my first live wallpaper today because I did not find something like it and thought it should not be too difficult to do. So here it is. I always wanted a real live wallpaper displaying something from the web instead of just a picture or offline animation. For me it is really useful because I can keep an eye on my favourite webcam over the day and decide to go there if the conditions stay or improve. A lot of other use cases should be possible ...
There is now also a picture frame app and a live widget included (also running on devices without live wallpaper support).

version 0.95.1 with editable xml quickselection data and new options
version 0.95

Noone else thinking this is a great idea?
This enables you to get an automated cycling flickr-Wallpaper, the National Geographic Pic of the Day automatically on your homescreen. Or the latest News-Picture, or your wallpapers from many image galleries. And of course webcams ... and so on. I think this freedom and possibilities is what makes Android so great!
New version with asynchronous loading, much improved website parsing. Still a lot to do (performance, widget, website redirects supported, better organisation of links and settings, ...) and so little time. But I really think this one has to appeal to some more people than just on a few sports-forums I read/post where people enjoy watching webcams!?!

I'll def give this a try!

this is awesome! thank you..

This seems a brilliant yet simple idea and seems to be well done. I will give this a try but its not realy for me as i dont have a data plan and only really use my wifi at home to connect so the updates on the pic would not be frequent enough.....maybe one day I will treat myself.
Thanks for your hard work

Def. bookmarked for later use. Very good idea.

New version 0.84 with optimizations and better gallery support
Loading is faster now (and you can enable a progress bar if you are curious/need to know).
I also added an option to dig into picture galleries (load the large version of the image which looks much better as a wallpaper on highres phones).
For the next update I am working on cycling the gallery pictures instead of using the most recent "best" one so there will be even more Live for more 'static' webpages.
New apk attached to first post!

Awesome. Thanks!

Version 0.9
Has a lot of changes (hopefully good ones) with the loading and gallery stuff and a LOT of options to set everything fine.
For example WIFI exclusive updating has been added! Also the quick selections have presets now to explain useful settings for your sites ...
Still a lot to do. Next will be password protected webcam/server access.

0.9.1 fixes some things
no more default WIFI-only enabled (red screen if mobile at first start)
fixes of parameters for some quick selection items
no more crashes with wrong/incomplete URLs entered by hand

0.91 ... watch xdadevelopers (or other website) live on your homescreen background
See last screenshot attached to first post It's a hack (web snapshot) I may regret/have to replace by something else later and not fast. But should be ok for a lot of use cases.
And a lot of more serious updates like a sorted settings menu, access to standard password protected servers/cams, better gallery updating with long refresh times.
Edit: v0.91.1 can now be opened after install/in market for all those people not knowing what a wallpaper is!

Taking a look at this on my sgs!!

Dev, you should have more confidence in patience, it's a great idea ;-). I typically wait until things hit the RSS, so I'm sure you'll see a little spike since it just came up in the past 20 minutes.
Good luck! I do have a question, have you judged the battery life impact? I did see the custom refresh rate option, but still I am curious to see what impact it had on both your idle and active battery life stats if you update as often as a regular widget since it'll probably download more data.
Suggestions: Be able to set up a schedule
Preferably with different settings for different days. For instance, M-F have it set to use pic of the day with an update every 24 hours, then on weekends have it set up to show a web/weathercam every 15 mins.
Also, being able to set it, instead of every X seconds, being able to set it to update maybe 3x on M-F would help out in a few cases. Example, to see a traffic or weather cam just before going to/from work.
Good luck, I look forward to seeing what you do with it, I'll let you know my findings.

all i can say is AMAZING
and also FOOTBALL scores as my live wallpaper FTW
come on you POOL!

Very nice. Works pretty well.
It would be real nice if you could get the picture to use the whole screen. Not sure if you are constrained by the site of course but I want to use this on my Archos 101 and it has a 1024X600 resolution so I get a lot of black bars.
Thank you for making this available.

Good idea.
How is on battery life though?

Very interested to see where this goes. Great idea IMHO. Subscribed.

Nice work.
Nice work. While trying this out, I ran across an issue. I accidentally the refresh time. If you enter nothing for the refresh time, it will force close (v0.91.2).

Great idea
Think of busy parents whose kids are in a daycare with kiddie cameras...live feed of your baby !

Awesome app. Ive bben wanting something like this for a while. Maybe could add some battery saving settings. thank you !!!!!!!

I added a video.
Is there any feedback ?

Tried it... doesn't recognise CBZ or CBR the two most common net comic formats
I'll unzip/unrar them and try again.

It definitely needs CBZ and CBR support.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

You are right. I will add support of cbz and cbr.
What about performance ?
Is it smooth (depending of your phone or tablet) ?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards.

Seems super-smooth. Will be happy to use it if you can add the CBR/Z support and keep it running as nice!
Although I am running on a Samsung Galaxy SII running CheckROM RevoHD v4 and the excellent DarkKnight v2.4.3 kernel... so most things run pretty smooth!

I added both file support : .cbz and .cbr.
Cbz (zip) is not cpu consuming so app is still smooth.
About Cbr (rar), it's no as smooth as before but still usable.
Don't hesitate to give a feedback.

Thanks, gonna try out my new Walking Dead Comics!

Thanks for the link! This works great on the Kindle Fire. The scrolling is kind of annoying at times, but it hasn't failed to open any file I've thrown at it yet. Is there an option to tap to turn pages instead of scrolling? If there is, I can't find it. If there isn't, there should be. Other than that this is a great comics viewer. Great job!

Thanks onestoploser for your feedback.
For now, there is no option to go next page (only by scrolling).
I will add an option for this.

Will test now on cm9 p1000

Sometimes it seems to scroll too far, like into the next page after the one I'm going to. Setting the velocity speed to none helps, but still happens on occasion. That's why I was wondering about a tap to turn the page option. Like I said though, this is a great app!

Huge 40+ wallpaper pack (specially made for Kindle Fire)

Hey guys, I spent a lot of time testing various wallpaper sizes/application methods and I finally put together my personal compilation of wallpapers downloaded for my desktop and cropped them down to the resolution that works best for the Kindle Fire. Included in the pack is a nice variety of automotive, art, scenic, skyline and bird wallpapers that I'm sure most of you guys will enjoy. All the images are high resolution and look awesome on the KF display.
To properly apply, either email them to yourself or host them on an image hosting website and open the image with your browser of choice. Then tap and hold the image until a pop up appears to apply wallpaper. The various methods of applying wallpaper in Android itself don't seem to work and compress/stretch the image. Hope you guys enjoy these!
Photo album here - http://s1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd400/vinson_matt/Kindle Fire Wallpaper/
Thanks or feedback is well appreciated!

Photo album link added for those that don't want the whole pack. Also makes it very easy to access and apply wallpapers via Browser.
EDIT: For whatever reason "apply as wallpaper" is not available in Silk Browser so the default Browser will need to be used.

Excelente! This was exactly what I was looking for. Nice work...
Cheers!

Hey guys I apologize I'm going to re-upload everything. I used the wrong width, will be fixed shortly.
EDIT: Fixed. Wallpapers will be added occasionally so keep that link in your favorites.

How do I install it?

The RAR file isn't installable, you just extract the contents.
The easiest way is to visit the Photobucket photo album and get the direct link of the wallpaper you want, copy/paste into web address and them tap/apply as wallpaper in Browser on your KF.

Are you rooted or using the stock OS?

List of features i will be adding(suggest a feature only if it is not in this list):
1. Ability to select different colours for the edge.
2. Ability to apply this to the lock screen only.
3 Ability to add a custom image instead of the black background.

Nice work man! Before other features I just want those discontinuities on upper left and right edges removed, please work on that.

What discontinuities? If you are talking about the darkening of the top left and right edges in the preview , it is not the app but an overlay of the Android system ( The set wallpaper text is written on it). It does not look the same when it is applied.
The previous version used to clip the corners but I have fixed it... If you think there is something else please show me a screenshot, so that I can understand...?

Using it on my Asus Zenfone 5z. Works perfectly.
Can you add Notch support just like that OP 6 wallpaper?

same thing as the other one in the OP6 thread, no option to set custom wallpaper, and it displays over the notch cutting a portion on top unfortunately

It's amazing :angel:

I have been wanting something like this for a while now! Thank you! I hope in the future you add more effect styles, much like the edge effects on Samsung software.
I see that you plan on allowing custom images too which is appreciated.
Can't wait to see where you go with this!

Can someone mirror it to AFH please? I can't download it on the link given for unknown reason. TYSM..

Thanks i will try it
