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!

[Rom] Could use some help with increasing Nexus 7 Text and System Fonts size.
Have tinkered with the user available settings in Display and Accessibility, but having old eyes, I could use larger system fonts.
I tried to increase the dpi, but apps and desktop start looking bad at anything over the default 213.
I am running 4.1.2 rooted and have CWM recovery .and would not mind changing system files..
Any help would be appreciated.
Use a font installer and change the system fonts to something to your liking. ROM toolbox has one built in. You can probably find one in the Play Store.

This should probably be in Q&A...you would get more responses.
Most of the CM based ROMs (including AOKP and the like) have a font size control in the display section of settings. Pretty sure it is a CM thing and not in AOSP. It used to be in a separate app in the GB era but they merged it into settings with ICS. It does pretty much exactly what you are looking for. I have just started with reading glasses in the last few years, so I can deal with tablets, but I use it for my phone.
Is that what you tried? It works pretty well in my experience.
There is a new app will create FlipFont apps for you from any *.ttf file on your device.
I cannot post links yet but really wanted to share this information...
Search Play with "Font Style Maker for FlipFont" <-- Name of the app.
Either add the fonts to your device's storage and open the app or send them to your email and open the attachment on the phone. This is the easiest way to create FlipFonts from any font found on the internet. No more need to ask others to create flipfonts for you!!
I am really excited to see this app. It will be a huge improvement to the FlipFont users.
For those who don't know...
FlipFont is a "program" embedded in the TouchWiz interface on Samsung Galaxy devices. This app will only work on devices with TouchWiz and the FlipFont capabilities. Good Luck and happy font creating!
app crashes on my s4 mini while searching fonts
I did a little research, for the font to be recognized, it must be digitally sign. Here is how to do that, i will try.

Until 4.4 I used to set Roboto Condensed system font by simply editing a couple of lines in system/etc/fonts.xml but now on Lollilop the file is different and I can't find any method to do it that doesn't include a third party Apps.
I think is lame to use third party Apps to set a variant of Roboto since it's already included in the system, plus I tried Fontster and the font they provide clearly is bugged/modified.
Any help? Thanks in advance.
Bump.
Jrummys toolkit has tons of type faces. Get it and it has I'm using it
