I want to be able to change wallpaper over a fixed amount of time using wallpaper changer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.wallpaperChanger&hl=en and also have different wallpaper for landscape and portrait using this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.livecubesfirst&hl=en \
Is that possible?
I believe you will need the source code for the first application, as for normal (portrait) settings, it will cycle through your selected images. But you want to have a different wallpaper for landscape so you will need to implement a feature in the code. Basically you will need to add a selector for landscape mode wallpaper. And apply the function when your device is changed to landscape it changes automatically.
You can try and look for an app that does this. But I doubt there is much you can do.

I was wondering if you could have a wallpaper as background and a different one for the start menu instead of using the same image?
Yes, you can, in fact many themes use different backgrounds for these.
You can change wallpapers in some theme editing program (search the forums, i don't remember its name), or simply replace the files in /windows dir:
tdywater_240_320.gif is the portrait mode wallpaper for the background
stwater_240_320.gif is the start menu background for portrait mode
tdywater_320_240.gif is the wallpaper for landscape mode
stwater_320_240 is the start menu background for landscape mode
Actual size of portrait images should be 240x294, and for landscape ones 320x214.
You can also use the same image for both landscape and portrait mode. then it's size should be 320x320, and its name tdywater.gif or stwater.gif (without dimensions in the name). If you try to use such image, make sure that you remove the landscape and portrait ones from /windows.
All these images should be in.gif format.
is there a way to have the main background wallpaper animated? i know thers the s2u2 program that allows its background to house gif's but for the main wallpaper is it possible? i tried setting the background as a gif file but it didnt work any help?
I dont think it would be able to handle it..They have to be still images.. plus it would kill your battery life...
Not to be mean, but this belongs in Kaiser General.
Yes. HOWEVER, The ability is not native to WM. You'll have to use a today screen plugin that will allow for Flash themes.
There are a few programs/plugins out there that will allow you to create/use flash animations & themes with embeded falsh animations for your today screen.
Search for Animated Today or Flash Themes & Flash Themes Generator.
Hello,
I wonder if anyone knows a program that can change "Lock-Screen"/Start wallpaper ? It should be able to open folder of wallpapers and that user could set time - "how often to change wallpaper".
Most of Wallpaper Changers / Switchers can change only Today's Screen wallpaper.
I need to to change wallpaper of Locked screen, for example once in a hour.

As long as it's changing the standard WinMo background then it will work just fine, the lock screen just uses the standard WinMo background for it's own. That's why it's the same as the screen that's behind the start menu.

I mentioned that most of software change only Today Wallpapers, but not "Lock-Screen" / Start wallpapers. Yes, Lock-screen and Start Menu wallpapers are the same, but is there software which can change it periodically ?
Anyone? I want to know too!
there is:
"BG4allTAB" or "background for all tabs" which makes the home tab background picture background for all other tabs (at least in manila 2.1)-not lockscreen.
there`s also "Jmz Lockscreen Changer v2.0" which is background picture changer for wm6.5 lock-screen.
hope this helps...
Im using this software on my touch HD (wm6.5) but it should work on HD2 also
this is for manual changing of walls, not automatic (periodically).
Is it possible to have a slideshow in the background of the homescreen or as screensaver?
**bump****bump**
Auto changing wallpaper
I've seen some software on the XDA forum that auto changes your background images by selecting the folder you assign containing all the images you wish to use.
Haven't used it personally, but seemed like a good idea as most of us are used to doing this same thing on our desktop OS's. Would be nice to see this feature built into CHT, as it seems such an issue having the correct size now and assigned image for all tabs and lock screen etc
[^_^]
thanks for the reply fazz, so there is software that is able to do that. I use SPB shell atm and I can set one picture, but I'ld rather have a slideshow in a box on which you can edit the size
any news regarding this item?
****BUMP***
Is this a possibility on 3.2 (hopefully soon 3.2.1) without root ?
To put it simply I'd like a lockscreen with a lot of color and a home screen more subtle and stylish
AFAIK, not with the stock lockscreen (at least I couldn't find the setting).
However you can try this software: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&feature=search_result

You can use Multi Picture Wallpaper (Free). Configure the LV to show a different image on the lockscreen. It can be a static image or a slideshow gallery.
not quite... :/
As it turns out, multi picture live wallpaper doesn't quite do what I want it to..
I am missing the opportunity to scale the picture, the standard definition is to have the same image copied on each screen - I simply want my standard picture(which is made for the tablet) and keep the normal movement and cropping.
And then of course the other picture as my lockscreen picture (and it would be nice to be able to crop/scale it)..
A friend of mine told me that WidgetLocker didn't work on his tablet ?
So didn't really want to buy it in case I couldn't make it do what I wanted before the time limit.
