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.

Just a quick suggestion to android devs who may want to make a buck or two!
Make a live wallpaper that pulls weather information down every hour or so and sets the background to that animated weather. The goal would be to get it working the same way as the HD2's animated weather backgrounds do.
I'd code this myself if I could, but I'm a little bit on the coding-challenged side. I'll type a few lines of code regardless and see what I can do.
If someone did this elegantly I would definitely pay for it!
EDIT: The developer of 'Beautiful Widgets' has said he's working on exactly this. When paired with the Beautiful Home Widget, it will display a live animation of the current weather based on what the widget's weather is.
nice idea... i wud buy it too

I wouldn't.... All I'd see is rain!
No, sounds really clever and frees up screen space as no widget required!
Whoops, posted in the wrong forum. Sorry!
Oh very nice! Not an original concept, but it is an interesting thought! I would love for this to be done.

No it's a blatant ripoff of the HD2 UI. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be sweet though.
There's a few live wallpapers in the marketplace at the moment that are very close to this idea. One switches the background based on weather to a static image of your choice, and the other pulls down Flickr pictures around your area of the current weather.

That would be LOVELY !! I would defenitly pay for that. I hope someone takes up this idea and make it happen !.

Just to add to this idea, it would be cool if the "live weather" background would use the screen itself as a "window" where raindrops would splash on it (when it's rainy outside). When it's sunny, it could also use the compass and accelerometer to (roughly) identify where the sun is and show glare circles that point to the direction of the sun.

That sounds amazing but all those sensor reading and screen updates are gonna sting the battery I would think.
Any updates?

great stuff. i am kind of hooked up on the live earth wallpaper bandwagon, but the weather wallpaper sounds exciting. keep on it
after using the weather live wallpaper on the desire
i would really like to see this for aosp
edit - pushing the htcweatherwallpaper.apk doesnt work
Subscribed as well... If this thing releases and works, it is going to kill my wife and her iPhone...
sounds like something from HTC
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..

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.

How the heck do I set a correct 100% good looking authentic wallpaper? I've tried dual wide HD (2560x800) wallpapers, HD (2560x1600), (1280x800), and many other different combos, but I just don't understand how the Android wallpaper system works.
First of all, the "set as" function by the gallery is absolutely terrible. It only lets me select 40% of my picture and crops out the rest! WTF!
Next, i've tried alternatives such as the app "Wallpaper Set and Save" from the market, and sure it definitely looks a lot better, but it isn't able to do the perfect job either, the top and bottom of the pictures I have get cut off while the width surprisingly works well.
What is the correct way to get a good wallpaper on honeycomb!?

This will change how your TF uses wallpaper.
I was able to fill the screen to proper preportions a photo of my wife, then set it to not slide. My 5 screens flow by as the picture stays still.
This free app will help you do so much I think it's worth a shot.
Agreed, MultiPicture Live Wallpaper but please, next time do a SEARCH before you post. There are literally dozens of topics dedicated to this aspect already.
Please help keep the forum clean.
I've tried that app before, the thing is, I want my wallpaper to "pan" across the (3) homescreens I use, it's just that I want it to do so while having the correct aspect ratio. I don't want one static image for each homescreen.
u can use an app named Wallpaper Wizardii , U can find it in the market
I use Poweramp pretty much religiously. One thing I love about it is that the background changes based on the colors of the album art you're listening to at the present time to an abstract type of thing. I didn't know if there was an app/theme/rom that had a setting that made your default phone background for home screen or lockscreen just like the player? I've looked everywhere & haven't found one but maybe I'm missing something. At any rate, if someone were able to make that a theme or live wallpaper or something that you can dl, I think it would be fantastic. I know I'm not the only one that would love something like this lol. If not is there anyone that has an idea of something similar I could dl?
