Hello everyone!
GifWidget is our home screen customization app that lets you animate a gif inside a home screen widget.
You can use any gif from your device or find more using the integrated Giphy browser. Also trying Google image search can be a good idea as you can search only for transparent animations there.
There is a free and a pro version of the app: the only difference is that in the free version you can use just one gif at a time (you can, however, use the same gif in many widgets e.g on different home screens).
I’d love to hear what you think of it.
Here’s the link to the free version the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mortisapps.gifwidget
Thanks for reading!
The new version now comes with a support for using external image picker and quickly launching the Google image search with options set to find transparent gifs.

Hi everyone,
For the last couple of weeks I have been trying find a wallpaper changer app that will change the wallpaper with a given time interval from a selected folder with the wallpapers inside.
I have tried a couple of apps but none of them are effective enough. By this I mean they just change the wallpaper. They don't mimmic sliding default wallpaper movement.
If there was an app that did this I would love it if it had the option of a fade effect when it changes the wallpapers.
I'd pay for a donate version of it if it had a library of wallpaper packs to download from like minimal, nature, scenery etc.
Can this be done as a live wallpaper or does it need to be an app?
Or do you know an application that already does it?
Thanks

Have you tried "WALLME" from NumericMe, heres the link for the lite ver.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.numericme.wallme&feature=search_result
For $ 1.40, the Full Edition has
● No ads
● More than 3 pictures sources allowed
● Grayscale display feature unlocked (save battery for devices with OLED screens)
● Double-tap and Notification-tap actions can be changed
● More special effect: reverse scrolling
Sound likes a live wallpaper which is similar to a slideshow. Users can change photos on their own
what about wiki wallpapers?
The one I use is called "wallswitch" .
Works fine and it slides the image like default so I guess that's what you look for.

I used wallswitch for a while it works fairly well.

WallSwitch was just what I was looking for. Thank you.
You might also like my WebLiveWallpaper (xda thread here) (possibly only the "Your Pictures" Picture gallery quick selection). Or if not maybe you can tell me what features to add to please your needs!
I played with an Acer at a local store and noticed that the various Home Screens have names, like "Entertainment", "Communication" etc (or something like this).
I'm wondering if it's possible to give each of the stock home screens a name so that I can organize apps into different categories. When scrolling from screen to screen the name would be displayed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
LongTrail.
the easiest way to do this would be to just use a custom widget maker (available on the market i believe) and just create a widget with the name of the category you want and put it on each homescreen. that would be the fastest way to accomplish this.
That would certainly work, many thanks for the suggestion.
There's an app Called desktop label I use, it might be what you need
i used an apps called Make Your Own Clock HD
it's free, and it got amazing feature to create custom text widget to do what u describe
minimal text
I did this on my Transformer. I used Minimal Text Widget to label each screen and then used multiple live wallpaper to give each screen a different set of wallpapers.
I have a home screen with weather/email info etc. and a link to browser.
A Tech screen with market and system stuff.
A Media screen with video/reading stuff.
and a Games screen with games.
I used desktop visualizer to make the icons on each screen look nice and folder organizer to make groups for games and emulators and such.
I can upload screens later but here is a link to something similar to what I am running except on the nook color.

Thanks Folks for all the help. I will take a look and see which idea gets me to where I want to be
I developed an alternative to hugely popular Multipicture Live Wallpaper application. It is more simple to use with fewer customization options but with some added features too.
This Live Wallpaper displays photos downloaded from popular 500px photography site. You can also use your local albums.
Photos can be displayed in following ways:
■ Multipicture - different photo for every screen
■ Collage - several photos arranged in a collage
■ Classic - one photo across all screens
Photos can be selected by several criteria:
■ 500px category
■ User tags
■ Current weather at your location
■ Color
■ Local albums
There are many customization options: change interval, minimal 500px rating, gap size, borders toggle...
If you leave double tap enabled you have a quick way to access preferences, immediately change photos and view or share the photo on which you tapped.
Package: com.cloudwalk.lwwp (for use on Play Store)
All feedback is very welcome!
nice work keep it up i m download now and try tell u soon any bug or other grate work
thanks for a brilliant app!
New version
I'm not able to change attachment for first post so:
I added more options so here is the new description and apk:
This Live Wallpaper displays photos downloaded from popular photography sites: 500px, Instagram and Panoramio. You can also use your local albums.
Photos can be displayed as:
■ Multipicture - different photo for each screen
■ Collage - several photos arranged in a collage
■ Classic - one photo across all screens
Photos can be selected by:
■ 500px categories
■ 500px author
■ User tags
■ Current weather at your location
■ Color
■ Panoramio
■ Instagram
■ Local albums
There are many customization options for each selection.
Choose actions for double-tap and two-finger tap:
■ Change photo
■ Change all photos
■ View photo in full screen
■ Bring up options dialog with more quick functions: change fit mode, share photo, open preferences dialog...
MC-Photo is also an application so same options dialog can be started through it's application icon.
'Static' setting - turn this Live Wallpaper into static wallpaper changer and get maximum possible swiping performance! (Works for collage and classic modes.)
***Warning: in this mode double-tap no longer works and you cannot view or share photos from the application.
Package: com.cloudwalk.lwwp (for use on Play Store)
All feedback is welcome!
And one question: is it considered a bad practice to also have an application icon for Live Wallpaper? Starting it brings up dialog with most useful options regarding LWP functionality - it's quicker than going through several screens (depends on launcher) to get to particular LWP preferences. And it is known fact that inexperienced users don't get that any Live Wallpaper app doesn't live trace inside Applications drawer by default and it has to be accessed through Live Wallpaper Chooser app. So I thought it would be beneficial to register LWP also as an regular App but I got an angry comment about removing it from app drawer anyway... What gives?
Great work!
Could you imagine implementing a Google image search functionality?
Could you add the option to exclude?, Either categories or photos_tags. Excellent work by the way. Thanks.
Update
Since my last post I added a lot of functionality:
Dayframe - start a slideshow of downloaded and cached photos
Integrated Photo Widget - re-sizable widget with captions, dedicated actions and save settings functionality.
Filters - Simple and fast photo filters that can give photos on wallpaper or widget special tone which can help to harmonize entire home screen.
Also many other updates and improvements.
Play Store id is: com.cloudwalk.lwwp and latest apk is in attachment.
Any feedback is appreciated!
Enjoy!

Any feedback is appreciated!

UPDATE
Hi again,
Since last update Google removed my app from Play Store so I had to upload it with different id: com.cloudwalk.lwp
Notable update is inclusion of Google Earth imagery as a new photo source. Photos are fantastic - you probably saw some of them because they are used in official Android Marshmallow.
All feedback is welcome!

Thanks for kind words.
I'll have to check about that 'static' option. It's been long since I implemented this and not many people seem to use it anymore so I don't get much feedback.
Be sure to explore all options, there should be something for everyone's taste. It also features a nice photo widget, also with many options an assignable actions.
What are your suggestions about UI? How it could be better? I presume you have something like Muzei in mind? Yes, it's nice and fancy but somehow when I was thinking of implementing some custom preferences screens it felt kind of pretentious. I was probably wrong not to do it...
Anyway, I don't think it would help much - I just cannot achieve virality effect although most people that stumble upon my app seem to be very happy with it. Ah, such is life...
Material design is good and it might attract more people / i choose static because i have widget which color changes with backround wallpaper so when i uncheck static it gives the colors of your icon and i want colors of the wallpaper
This app allows you to have as many touchable areas (triggers) on the screen as you want and each trigger allows you to open different sidebars depending on the touch gesture on it. Everything in this app is persobalisable.
Special features:
arbitrary number of apps, shortcuts, widgets or folders to a sidebar
arbitrary number of handles
many triggers to open a sidebar (slide up/down/left/right, click, double click, long press)
personalize colors, sizes, transparency, use icon packs and much more
Action Folder - clicking it directly opens the first app in the folder, swiping on it opens the folder
Action Sidebar - the trigger does not open a sidebar but directly start an app or a shortcut
Sidepages - page that shows your apps and allow you to fastly search them with the T9 predictive keyboard
Material Palette Colors - fastly select material colors
Quick Colors - fastly select colors that match your current wallpaper (material palette method to extract the main colors of your current wallpaper)
Supports resent apps and blacklists on all android versions
Planned features that are currently developed:
sidepage with direct widgets on it just like a real drawer and freely positionable apps, shortcuts, widgets and folders
integrate contacts and allow them to be search like apps on the all apps sidepages
...
Any feedback is appreciated and feature requests are welcome.

Tried the app - good
I tried the app; very good. I am on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S, 10.5", running on a SlimLP Android 5.1.1. The store would not let me download the app, stating it was not "compatible" with my device. I downloaded the file to my phone, backed it up, and installed it unto my tablet. I seems to be working fine.
Nice app, great bunch features and configuration. Endless possibilities. This app deserves more attention.
See it in action.

Excellent tool. Still thinking to get the pro but I suggest the following:
- Selection by sliding, without lifting the finger (Glovebox´s app style)
- Improve the floating widget because widget is not responding smoothly
Thanks.
I am really liking this so far and I plan on buying. Everyone should install this app and play with it for a few days, don't dismiss it too quickly it is very nice. Good job dev. Thanks
I installed the app yesterday and it is really great, congratulations on your app @prom85 :good:
I have some ideas to further improve the app, maybe you like the ideas, too:
1. Possibility to open sidebar/sidepage with a shortcut without having to use handle. A fast workaround would be allowing to set the width of a handle to 0dp.
2. Possibility to adjust the size of a sidebar/sidepage. I would like to have a sidepage with minimum size to see all my favorite apps on it. Therefore it would be great, if the sidepage would decrease its size if I decrease the number of rows/columns. A fast workaround would be increasing the maximum dp of possible padding in all directions to 1000(?).
3. I think I found a little bug: I use custom rom with navigation bar and I open sidebar/sidepage with a button on the navigation bar (via shortcut) and most of the time it works well. But sometimes not only the sidebar/sidepage opens but also your app opens in background of the sidebar/sidepage. The problem is, that I don't know why or when the functionality switches to "open both: app and sidebar/sidepage". Maybe you can have a look at it.
Last but not least I have a question: Is it right that I can use with the pro version icon packs AND change in addition the icons manually that don't look nice with the icon pack?
With kind regards
