Hey folks,
Does anyone here know what the name of the Fire HD wallpaper app is? After rooting my Fire, I disabled a whole bunch of system apps/bloatware and now I can't change the wallpaper (going to settings>display>wallpaper doesn't do anything). I'd hate to have to enable each one of those apps one by one to find out for myself.

I think it uses Amazon Photos to set the wallpaper. I use Nova Launcher which allows you to set the wallpaper without using Amazon Photos. You can also download Google's Wallpapers app and that should work... hopefully.
Default action is change Home and Lockscreen wallpaper using "Amazon Photos".
You can use third party apps to change Home wallpaper. (CameraRoll, QuickPic, etc)
Lockscreen wallpaper only can change by "Amazon Photos".

Thanks for the responses. I got the wallpapers app to work again but it's still having no effect on the lock screen wallpaper. Every time I turn on the screen, the lock screen app displays an Amazon stock wallpaper by random.
Disable the Special Offers on Lock Screen. (Only for japan)
Then you can set the lockscreen wallpaper using Amazon Photos.
Register and login to amazon.co.jp account.
OR
Do not login and set the language to Japanese.

I only had luck changing the lockscreen wallpaper with Amazon Photos. I do believe there is another way but I can't verify it since I have the lockscreens on both of the rooted Fire HD10's I have disabled and just use the Gravity Screen app

Has anyone else downloaded this Launcher, and messed with it?
I downloaded it tonight, and I love it. Check my screencap.
It allows 5 apps to be put on a menu bar, allows you to select the number of home screens you want, and allows the home screen to go sideways.
I really like it, let me know your thoughts.

Sounds just like LauncherPro Beta. except with LauncherPro my notification bar is hidden, and i have a glass dock under my five shortcut icons. gives it a slight OS X feel, which i love. =o)
EDIT: also with LauncherPro you can set the speed that the app drawer opens. a useless feature that i really enjoy having.
how are the animations? The stock evo rom doesn't have the zooming in from middle when launching an app, but launcher pro does. I love this eye-pleasing feature. Does Zeam do this aswell?
Animation is great. Apps slide up from the bottom.

ok, just downloaded it... its aight, the default animation for the launcher is the "fly in" visualization, but it is not the smoothest. The slide option in preferences is much smoother.
But to all who want to know, when you tap to launch an app, it has the normal(semi-outdated) slide animation (apps slide in from the right), but launcher pro has the "zoom in from center of the screen" animation, which is great. It also fades your current app through the middle when you hit home to return back.
i'll be stickin with launcher pro, more options in preferences and overall great usuability and awesome graphics (3D apps menu available via advanced preferences)
maybe Zeam will pick it up a notch, i like the concept alot (especially the dock bar), just wish the dev could implement the launching animation of apps.

I have a bunch of wallpapers that are the exact size for TF, but when I go to select them, TF asks me to crop them. After setting a picture as wallpaper, the wallpaper picture looks zoomed-in. This even happens to the stock pictures that are in the TF gallery.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I have the same problem here ...
I tried different resolution but the result still the same.
Go download Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market,
then when you're in gallery click on the share icon on the top right and choose wallpaper wizardrii and tell it to set as scrollable. Your images should look perfect if the pictures are in fact large enough.

MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
I use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to make the images fit the screen. I usually download 1280x800 images and they look really nice.
Wallpaper slideshow is what iuse
I tried wallpaper wizardii and while it kept the size...without cropping...it would glitch while changing orientation...it would take a second or two to "settle" after a few weird little sizings...I couldn't deal with that and also no wallpaper ever looked as tack-sharp as the stock paper....even if it was large enough...

Did you reboot after you installed wizard??

Nope....Maybe I'll try that.
Nope....same thing...it kind of "readjusts" itself after orientation....not acceptable.
I DID notice one thing....it seems (and I could be wrong) that if you go to a pic on the web and choose "set as wallpaper" it doesn't crop anything....if you download the pic...then choose to use it as wallpaper..that's when you have to crop.
Which picture are you using??
I don't seem to be having that issue but yes you're right. Pictures from the web work right away but the gallery app wallpaper setter is what brings up the cropping.
I believe they're going to make changes to this in 3.1

Good! looking forward to it....
Well..I tried Multipicture live and it works great...the pictures come out sharp and not cropped...
BUT....
When reorienting screen....they "fade in" and don't stay.
It appears to be by design...is there some way to turn this off in the MP software?
Try 1920x1280. (Yes 1*2*80, that's not a typo. )
Anyone else try the new GameBox launcher? It was available for me in Galaxy Apps. Basically Game Launcher on steroids as it's an actual full-blown launcher that acts as a front end for all your games and incorporates all the Samsung game tools. Looks pretty, but I can't see using it as a full time launcher. I do have it set as a swipe action in Nova Launcher so I can access it by swiping the app drawer button.

It's not an app, it's an actual launcher. I use it like an app though by setting it via a shortcut through Nova Launcher.

Go to "Settings", "Applications", "Default Applications", "Home Screen", then select "GameBox" and hit the home key.
I have the S7 (non edge model) and was able to find and download this the other day on the Galaxy apps site but today I cant find it. is anyone else having this problem or was this originally intended only for the edge users?
*edit* never mind I found it on the google play store. it's now listed as an app that is not available in my country!
Thanks i use apex and made a icon of the app like you and it works perfect!!

here's one I just made. it's a crop of some 4x5 slide film I took some years back.

Hey,
Just got my s8 as everyone has and had a question about wallpaper. Thought someone could chime in here if it works the same for them. It might be a nougat thing because I'm new to that also. So I have a specific home wallpaper and a seperate lockscreen wallpaper. When I turn my screen on, I see my home screen wallpaper clearly. I swipe for my pin pad and I see the lockscreen wallpaper as a shadow behind the pin pad. Once I enter the pin, I see the lockscreen wallpaper clearly for like a second and then my home screen. Is that the way it is supposed to work?
Thanks.

On mine I get the lockscreen first, until I unlock and then it goes to homescreen after unlock, unless I open with fingerprint, here it goes from blank straight to homescreen.
