Here is a solution many people are desperately in need of for the Kindle Fire. This is a side loaded .APK that DOES NOT require Rooting! The ever changing lock screen/wallpaper is obviously annoying to the vest majority of us. I have found two apps that can take care of this. They appear to be very similar but one is in (a) Google Play[Market] and the (b) other is freely available on the web with no login necessary and explains to the novice how to install in simple terms and pictures.
a) Wallpaper Change Kindle Fire by DPAPPS - (Google Play / Android Market)
and
b) My Kindle Wallpaper - to find it, Google --> "kindlecooltricks wordpress" and it was the 3rd in the list as of this posting. You should be able to easily find it.
Now to get everyone started, here are 20 desktop picture. What can you make and share ?
Here are a few more....
Enjoy and let me know what you think of the pictures and programs; as well as how it is working for you?
Thanks for the app suggestion. Happen to have pics zipped?

Thanks. I'm using My Kindle Wallpaper (the second one linked) and it's getting the job done.
thank you for this! i was getting so tired of the wallpapers that come on the kindle. Now everyday I just choose which one I want, and they are the perfect size!
None of them used my selected picture on 6.3,

Used the method you suggested and it worked. I kinda have a question, for a split second when I wake my KF, the default wallpapers that are built into the device show up before the ones I've saved for the DPAPP application. Is there a way that I can completely shut off the default ones?

thanks been looking into this for so long will have to put on my mother inlaws kindle tonight
sweet switching!
Great app! Someone earlier had tried to change my wallpaper to some crazy pic using settings, except this app automatically switched it back to my selection--I never even noticed the change; this is nice, people can't prank my paper! Unless they used this app/kinda obscure anywho
VERY appreciative, thanks for the post
dpapps didnt work for me at first as the pictures were all too big even at 1024x600 resolution.
i solved the issue by removing go launcher ex and then it worked
i then reinstalled go launcher and it still works great
apparently go launcher ex changed the default wallpaper settings on both sides of my kindle, the carousel and go launcher. hopefully this helps anyone experiencing the same issue
My Kindle Wallpaper is working great! My eyes thank you!

Hi,
I've been reading stuff here in this forums for quite some time now but I only became a member just now. I have a rooted note 3 and I deleted some of the systemapps including bubbles and phase beam. I downloaded Galaxy Live Wallpaper App just now and this is the only time I realize that Live Wallpaper is no longer working on my phone. I'm not sure if it's because I deleted the bubbles and phase beam file. Or if maybe I deleted something else. I also remember deleting a system app named live wall paper picker, something like that. I was wondering if you guys can help me solve this. =) Is there a website I can download these files again? just to get live wallpapers up and running again?
Thank you,
Hi, so I've been using this app once I had a Samsung note 3. Well it worked a few months ago but tried it today and its says it cannot open file. I now have an lg g5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13167693&postcou...
Can anyone fix this app or make a new one? I use beautiful widgets and would like it to work with actual weather. Thanks
Hey - just got my Nougat update yesterday. I am locked stock US Verizon. Had to do a hard reset to fix the Wifi issue. No I cant seem to find how to use live wallpapers. I am using the stock touchwiz launcher, so I only get the crappy Samsung store. Can you help me find Live Wallpapers to be able to apply them to my homescreen?
Thanks!

I would recommend switching over to the Pixel Launcher (found here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/pixel-launcher/pixel-launcher-7-1-1-3368800-release/pixel-launcher-7-1-1-3368800-android-apk-download/)
That way you can use the Google Wallpaper app which works pretty well.

Thanks - I ended up using Google Wallpapers on the stock TouchWiz. Still seems odd that Samsung does not provide a way to apply live wallpapers.
I found several threads about this issue that did get solved but it is not working for me.
I installed CM11 on my old phone and there is nothing newer for it. CM11 runs Android 4.4.4 .
I tried several live wallpaper picker apps and none of them worked.
If I install the app then I get the option in setting but it just crashes and does not allow to choose a live wallpaper. If I do as the thread suggests in the below link and this to just move the file to particular directory and change the permission and reboot then it would also crash.
[Q][CM9b1]Live Wallpaper picker.apk for my rom?
Hi, I'm using cm9 beta 1 I noticed that I can't use lwp as I can't find any opt to choose pictures other than from gallery Then I found out that i dont have livewallpaper picker.apk So, I found many lwp picker apk but I'm not sure which one is...

Can someone suggest a better solution?
I found a solution that uses a a stylish home screen with live wallpaper and it is satisfactory to me.
