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.

Any feedback is appreciated!
Enjoy!

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!
Wow this really a great live wallpaper alternative to muzei with even more options the app works great for now all missing is a decent UI But i when close the app from recent apps it unchecks the static WP option

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

Hi there! I have released a new app, it's my first app. It's a wallpaper app but it's the only one of its kind. I won't just paste the description from the Play store, but a quick summary of what it does is:
It randomly downloads wallpapers (from the wallpaper site Wallhaven) based on tags that you select and sets it as your background wallpaper. It refreshes at a specified interval.
Thanks for reading, if you're interested to try it, you can get it here: Endless Rotating Wallpapers - any feedback welcome. I have put in a fair bit of effort to make this but I will cop any criticism
