WebLiveWallpaper: Set content (galleries/animations/sites/cams from the web or local files/folders) as Live Wallpaper, live widget or as picture frame.
Create your personal show, create your own (animated) wallpaper with JavaScript!
Original first post:
I wrote my first live wallpaper today because I did not find something like it and thought it should not be too difficult to do. So here it is. I always wanted a real live wallpaper displaying something from the web instead of just a picture or offline animation. For me it is really useful because I can keep an eye on my favourite webcam over the day and decide to go there if the conditions stay or improve. A lot of other use cases should be possible ...
There is now also a picture frame app and a live widget included (also running on devices without live wallpaper support).

Noone else thinking this is a great idea?
This enables you to get an automated cycling flickr-Wallpaper, the National Geographic Pic of the Day automatically on your homescreen. Or the latest News-Picture, or your wallpapers from many image galleries. And of course webcams ... and so on. I think this freedom and possibilities is what makes Android so great!
New version with asynchronous loading, much improved website parsing. Still a lot to do (performance, widget, website redirects supported, better organisation of links and settings, ...) and so little time. But I really think this one has to appeal to some more people than just on a few sports-forums I read/post where people enjoy watching webcams!?!

I'll def give this a try!
this is awesome! thank you..
This seems a brilliant yet simple idea and seems to be well done. I will give this a try but its not realy for me as i dont have a data plan and only really use my wifi at home to connect so the updates on the pic would not be frequent enough.....maybe one day I will treat myself.
Thanks for your hard work
Def. bookmarked for later use. Very good idea.
New version 0.84 with optimizations and better gallery support
Loading is faster now (and you can enable a progress bar if you are curious/need to know).
I also added an option to dig into picture galleries (load the large version of the image which looks much better as a wallpaper on highres phones).
For the next update I am working on cycling the gallery pictures instead of using the most recent "best" one so there will be even more Live for more 'static' webpages.
New apk attached to first post!
Awesome. Thanks!

Version 0.9
Has a lot of changes (hopefully good ones) with the loading and gallery stuff and a LOT of options to set everything fine.
For example WIFI exclusive updating has been added! Also the quick selections have presets now to explain useful settings for your sites ...
Still a lot to do. Next will be password protected webcam/server access.
0.9.1 fixes some things
no more default WIFI-only enabled (red screen if mobile at first start)
fixes of parameters for some quick selection items
no more crashes with wrong/incomplete URLs entered by hand
0.91 ... watch xdadevelopers (or other website) live on your homescreen background
See last screenshot attached to first post It's a hack (web snapshot) I may regret/have to replace by something else later and not fast. But should be ok for a lot of use cases.
And a lot of more serious updates like a sorted settings menu, access to standard password protected servers/cams, better gallery updating with long refresh times.
Edit: v0.91.1 can now be opened after install/in market for all those people not knowing what a wallpaper is!
Taking a look at this on my sgs!!
Dev, you should have more confidence in patience, it's a great idea ;-). I typically wait until things hit the RSS, so I'm sure you'll see a little spike since it just came up in the past 20 minutes.
Good luck! I do have a question, have you judged the battery life impact? I did see the custom refresh rate option, but still I am curious to see what impact it had on both your idle and active battery life stats if you update as often as a regular widget since it'll probably download more data.
Suggestions: Be able to set up a schedule
Preferably with different settings for different days. For instance, M-F have it set to use pic of the day with an update every 24 hours, then on weekends have it set up to show a web/weathercam every 15 mins.
Also, being able to set it, instead of every X seconds, being able to set it to update maybe 3x on M-F would help out in a few cases. Example, to see a traffic or weather cam just before going to/from work.
Good luck, I look forward to seeing what you do with it, I'll let you know my findings.

all i can say is AMAZING
and also FOOTBALL scores as my live wallpaper FTW
come on you POOL!
Very nice. Works pretty well.
It would be real nice if you could get the picture to use the whole screen. Not sure if you are constrained by the site of course but I want to use this on my Archos 101 and it has a 1024X600 resolution so I get a lot of black bars.
Thank you for making this available.
Good idea.
How is on battery life though?
Very interested to see where this goes. Great idea IMHO. Subscribed.
Nice work.
Nice work. While trying this out, I ran across an issue. I accidentally the refresh time. If you enter nothing for the refresh time, it will force close (v0.91.2).
Great idea
Think of busy parents whose kids are in a daycare with kiddie cameras...live feed of your baby !
Awesome app. Ive bben wanting something like this for a while. Maybe could add some battery saving settings. thank you !!!!!!!

All the features work on Transformer TF101 but I've noticed black and white bars at the top and sometimes the bottom of the image. It varies in size depending on the view from what I can tell and remains there when changing frames and themes. I can provide pictures if you would like. Not complaining, just reporting Great job on the app.

Thanks Smithchipz! It was a bit of a pain trying to come up with a way to make the camera preview fit on every screen without changing the aspect ratio. I need to work a little on my code, but I need some time with different devices to figure out the the best way. Each device reports a list of camera preview sizes to my app and my app chooses the largest one(well it's supposed to anyway). I've noticed the way devices reports the sizes is different from phone to phone. My nexus7 lists the sizes in ascending order, the GNex in descending. It sounds like on the transformer, it's choosing a size that is not the largest. So far, I've only personally tested this app on the Nexus7 and the GNex. Thanks again and hopefully I'll get that issue figured out soon.
BTW: If it's not too much trouble, screenshots would be great. Thanks!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the app. If you have any issues, please let me know. I've had to rely on users to get all the bugs figured out. Thanks guys!

Tried it out on a Galaxy Note and Galaxy S. Everything OK except the picture gets stretched out.

Thanks Kame_boy! I've sent you a PM to get more details.
Released the last update for this weekend, I promise. The kinks should be worked out.
Pushed a new update today. Snapshot mode for paid users and extra frames for free users! Spanish and German are now supported languages. Bug reporting has been improved. Thanks!
Minor update
Updated to include more languages. As of now, German, Spanish, French, Korean, and Japanese are supported languages. Enjoy!
2.1 is out! I've added zoom controls, a photobooth mode and a bunch of other stuff. Hope you guys enjoy it!
2.13 should be live very soon. I think the white/black screen bug that was affecting some users should be fixed with this update. This update brings support for 4.2 devices as well. Enjoy!
Back to work on the app! The new version (2.2) of Front Camera Mirror will split the frames away from the main app. This will result in a smaller overall size for the base app and will allow users to customize the frames that they want on the app by simply downloading the add on packs. I spent the day designing some new frames for the packs. I'm also looking into implementing a camera lag feature which would allow for a quick glance at the back of one's head. I will keep you all updated. Thanks!
Front Camera Mirror has hit 50,000 downloads this week. Thanks to everyone for all your support. The new version, 2.2, is now up on the Android Play Store. I will be getting the Amazon Appstore version up shortly. I have also been working on a website for wckd Dev if anyone wants to check it out. Thanks guys and, as always, let me know if you have any problems!
All new images for the app stores!
100,000 Downloads!! Pinch to zoom and pause mode added. Thanks for all the support guys!
How come such apps aren't made for Gingerbread? What possible ICS/JB components could this app require, that GB cannot deliver? Not being an ass, just wondering, really.

Sorry for the huge delay in response. I used a TextureView in the app in order to display the camera preview. Using the TextureView makes it very easy to manipulate the output (resizing, mirroring and flipping the image) and unfortunately it is only available in API 14 (ICS) and above. It could be made to work with GB, but I just don't have the time or a GB device to test with. Sorry.
CURRENT VERSION 1.5.2 RELEASED DECEMBER 7, 2014 - SEE BELOW FOR CHANGELOG AND DIRECT APK LINK
I would like to share with you guys an app I recently finished called Fresco. With Fresco you can view images posted on the Astronomy Picture of the Day website of NASA. Every image has an explanation written by a professional astronomer and every image ever posted on this website is available in this app (starting somewhere back in 1995) and the goal was to create a very polished, responsive, fast and easy to use interface while being very feature rich.

Screenshots:
Features
* View over 5800 images with a new one being downloaded every day
* Mark images as favorites
* View a random image with one button click (I use it to find cool pictures and stories, you can cycle through all images or your favorites)
* View a grid with image archive (with ascending, descending and random sorting)
* Full Text Search for images (e.g. searching for 'apollo moon armstrong' will show all images containing those words, the index uses Porter Stemming Algorithm)
* Double click an image to view it full-size and you can zoom it
* Set image as wallpaper
* Automatically set wallpaper to today's image as soon as it's downloaded (my favorite)
* Share images (via all channels available on your device)
Why it was made
For a long time I was used to a similar app called NasaImages, but it disturbed me that it had a sluggish interface, showed wrong dates and was not able to correctly show 'special characters' like ë and ß. Also i would have liked to set the wallpaper automatically when a new image was downloaded. I addressed all these issues and tried to create a very fast, very polished, simple and yet feature-rich 'replacement' app which is developed using the latest design guidelines. Fresco is the result
The name?
There's an image of two astronauts reaching with their fingers to one another like Michelangelo's painting in the Sistine Chapel (the creation of Adam). I found that image very touching and decided to use it as icon of the app. Wall paintings like the creation of Adam are called frescoes, so that's how I came up with the name (well, actually my girlfriend came up with it, so I guess I should say thanks honey ).
Why this post?
First of all, every developer wants to share his creation because he/she wants to entertain or help others with a problem he/she has had. For me it's no different, I love this app and everyday I wake up I can't wait to check the new image posted and I want to share my excitement with you guys. Second, this is my first serious attempt to create an Android app and I am curious how people think I've done so far. The app is completely free of charge, although it is ad-supported. This is because the images are indexed on my own VPS and that has to be paid and I hope to do that with this app and my future apps
Who am I?
I am a reader of XDA for quite some years now. I did not post a lot and I'm not active in a lot of boards, mostly the Windows Mobile Phone (pre 7) ones and Android/SGS1 boards from two years ago until now. My name is Jori and I live in the Netherlands in a small town called Purmerend (close to Amsterdam). I am a software engineer for a company that creates CRM software and in my free time Iove to play handball, expand my coding skills and spend time with my family.
Closing words
I hope you like (the idea) of this app and hopefully you guys can give me some feedback At least let me thank you for reading.

Good idea. I love the photos that NASA does. Already downloading!
I regularly change my wallpaper using this app. Nicely done!
On a sidenote: I noticed there's a Dutch site (apod.nl) that contains translations of the accompanying texts.

I checked it out and it indeed contains all all dutch translations going back to somewhere in december 2004. I will check out if I can index them too, shouldn't be too much of a problem and when done, the app can be completely in ducth too, which should be nice Thanks for spotting man!
nice app. thanks
Awesome app for switching my wallpaper daily. The quality of the pictures are great and the app runs very smooth.:good:
I'm only mildly interested in NASA's photos, but your app looks nice. Sad that you're the only reviewer on Google Play. I'll throw it a review after playing with it for a bit. Thanks for sharing. Nice OP, too, very well written and formatted. Wish they were all like that.

Thanks, there are some Dutch reviews too, but you won't see them unless you select 'Dutch' in the play store But I had actually thought the interest would be somewhat higher, doesn't matter though, even if no one will use it, it has been a great learning experience

Thank you and thanks for the compliment. I tried to imagine how I would like to see the post if I were someone else, guess that helped
I have got some feedback from some people and I started working on improvements. Those are now available in the play store (see OP for link).
The following things were addressed:
- Added a Dutch translation for images where available (starting from january 1st, 2005). Fresco will automatically select a language for you, but it can be changed in the settings screen.
- Every image has a unique id now (a code)
- At the image archive you can now select an image not only by date, but also by code
- You can now import (or merge) and export favorites
- You can open the source webpage of an image
- Added information about the source of the images in the settings dialog
And some images to indicate the changes
Fan of NASA. Fan of wallpapers. Now a fan of the OP. Nice work.
Suggestion, Post this app to the Nasaspaceflight.com (forums). I'd ask a moderator where to post an they are a bit harsh on rules at times.
Thank you for your contribution. Clean work.

Beautiful nifty little app and enjoying the translation option to Dutch. Just bought the in-app ad-removal!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the nice words, really appreciate them! I checked out the website you mentioned, but it seems they would only post it as advertisements (and although it's pretty cheap, starting $50/month), I don't have that kind of funds (at least not yet). So I think I have to at least postpone that

$50 a month is not a fair rate for which to share a free app with space enthusiasts. I would just post it, and if they delete it, accept it and move on. If they delete the post, they're probably not as interested in space as they claim to be.
Also, I think an option to request setting wallpaper would be appropriate. The other day, it automatically set a pretty lame picture as wallpaper. On its own it wasn't lame at all, it was comparing planets' size (or mass). On its own it's a good picture, but it's a graph, and not really a good choice for a wallpaper. They also regularly post stereoscopic (i.e. 3D) images that would make poor wallpaper choices. I've actually taken to disabling the automatic wallpaper and checking it every couple days, and changing my wallpaper if the new one warrants it, so I suppose that is just as well.
I second your thoughts on the automatic wallpaper selection (had the exact same experience with the graph wallpaper).
Also, today I tried the app on a nexus 7 running android 4.2.1 and it just crashed on launch (I sent the crash report to Google hoping that it will eventually reach you). So I was wondering whether you could add support for nexus 7 devices.

Ok, so I typed a complete answer in like 20 minutes and previewed it to check it for errors and guess what? Windows 8 decided to reboot because it installed even more bugs on my computer, ...sigh... Have to retype it again, hold on, will take some time, since I have to go to work now first

Good point, I'll try to check it out later today again. I'll post the results when I have done that .

During the development of the app this has crossed my mind several times, but I could not come up with a good solution. Now the app is live, I too think not all images are suitable wallpapers, especially the ones you mentioned. However, I still like the "unattendedness" of automatically setting the wallpaper, so I have given it some more thought and I think I have come up with a (partial) solution for this "issue".
1. When a new image is available, it will be automatically set as wallpaper
2. A notification will be created with two buttons (revert to previous and randomly select from favorites)
3. Clicking on one of the buttons will directly result in a new wallpaper being set (thus without any more interaction)
4. Clicking on the notification (outside of the buttons), opens a screen with e.g. 10 randomly selected images which you can then set as wallpaper with one click (with or without the possibility to crop).
This is open for discussion for me though, but I think it would be quite cool as I described

Ouch! That should certainly not happen. I did try it on the emulator with the same specs and that worked (except for the layout, but that will be addressed). I also tried it in an electronics store where I live (lol) and that worked too. I have seen some crash reports, so I will be addressing them, my question for now is: did you experience this issue after it was correctly started once, or doesn't it start at all? I will try to reproduce it again in the emulator. I am aware of an issue that sometimes occurs after you re-focus the app after a long time of inactivity, that issue has been solved, I'm not sure if your issue is related to that.
On a sidenote I have been working on indexing the NASA image of the day images too. I will add those in Fresco too, but the only question is: when you have the auto wallpaper feature enabled, which one will be selected?
Your solution can work, but maybe it's too complicated. I like the random idea. Maybe show the new image (JB expanded notification) and say "Set, Random, Pick". Set makes it your wallpaper. Random takes one from your favorites, like you said. And Pick opens your favorites and lets you pick one. Set and Random crop for you, where Pick would let you crop it yourself.
Full disclosure: I'm actually rocking the live wallpaper from GO's neXt Launcher, though. (The launcher is $15.99 -- ouch! -- but the LWP is free. Not plugging it, just saying. But I will go back to space wallpapers sooner than later, I don't like what LWP's do to my battery. And GO stuff is kinda terribad anyway, but this one at least looks nice.)
500 Firepaper provides a live wallpaper and a daydream showing you the latest images from /r/EarthPorn throughout the day.
You never need to look at that boring old wallpaper again, or search for hours for a nice new one. This app will show you quality photographs from all over the world - different ones each day!
NOTICE: This app switched from using the 500px API to showing images from Reddit's /r/EarthPorn sub, as 500px is shutting down their API. Please read the statement on my G+ page - https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/W52tb4kp8zN
Configurable options include the refresh interval, brightness of the images, oversaturation, and blurring.
Please note that high resolution imagery and animation takes quite a bit of memory, so obviously this app is aimed at high-end devices.
If you are a Muzei user, 500 Firepaper also presents itself as an art source to Muzei.
FAQ
What does buying Pro get me?
I've already made all the features available to you for free. Supporting my developments is optional, but certainly appreciated.
Why is there no save feature ?
Not allowed per API terms
Three finger tap to go to the next image doesn't seem to work, what now ?
On some devices (like the HTC One) you need to put down your fingers one-by-one.
Why does this use so much RAM ?
High-resolution imagery takes a lot of memory in uncompressed form, and multiple buffers are required. But fear not, should your device need the memory while the wallpaper/daydream is not visible, the memory occupied by the app will automagically be released and repurposed.
Can the cached images be put somewhere else, like on my sd card ?
No, they cannot.
Do you want a balloon ?
No, but thanks for asking.
Notices
This application uses the Reddit(tm) API and is not endorsed or certified by Reddit or Reddit Inc. All images (c) their respective owners.
No personal or private information about you or your device is collected or transmitted by this app.
Why ? (you can skip this if not interested)
So this really isn't anything special and probably nobody cares about it. But here it is anyway.
I actually started writing something a little bit like this years ago (which was called Firepaper) which had loads of advanced options, but due to Android 2.x and the constant fighting with memory limitations, I never released anything. Then past February I thought about doing something with 500px, and wrote a lot of the code, but for some reason never finished it. This weekend I had some time to spare and didn't feel like working on any of my usual apps, and I was annoyed with the Nexus 5 wallpaper, so I finished this up (this is something I actually want for my own phone).
There's other live wallpapers and daydreams that do similar things. But due to the nature of background syncing, caching and transferring images I didn't really feel like trusting somebody else to get that right, and not drain my battery when I need it most or rake up the data charges. Not that I'm convinced I did it right, but it works for me so far

Thanks guys. Thanks for the crash reports also. Seems live wallpapers and daydreams are handled slightly different across devices and I mostly tested on Nexus 5 and Nexus 10.
I've already fixed a couple of crashes, and some trouble with daydreams specifically on S4/Note3. Play should update in a few hours.
Keep the crash reports coming, and don't forget to mention such details as your exact device and Android version, and if possible provide a logcat.

Installed on N5 & N7 2013, and for now, works like a charm Thank you.
Great app, uses quite the amount of memory though (up to 102MB now) on the N10. Also annoying that even with a static live wallpaper like this, the scrolling still becomes choppy on the N10...
Exactly what I wanted! There used to be an app on the market with changed the wallpaper periodically from images from 500px, but it stopped working a long time ago Now this is even better Btw, working fine on official Xperia Z Ultra
App works flawlessly on Xperia z1 aswell. This app is really neat.
I got feature request but i'm not sure if its even possible to create. Do you think it would be possible to make the live wallpaper set the picture its currently displaying as the lockscreen wallpaper aswell? Would be neat to have the same wallpaper on my lockscreen aswell. :laugh:
Anyway Chainfire great work as allways, Keep up the great work!

That sort of memory use is to be expected when working with high resolution imagery (and Java, heh). It shouldn't become much more than that though.
I don't really see it being choppy on my N10 but my homescreen is pretty much completely empty. The N10 isn't that fast graphics wise due to it's ridiculous resolution, and unfortunately live wallpaper drawing are not hardware accelerated unless OpenGL is used, which is a whole other world of hurt waiting to happen (development wise) and quite overkill for this purpose.
Maybe I should make an option to disable the parallax in the stock launcher, that should speed it all up a bit.

That's up to the lockscreen, I'm not going to implement anything specifically for that. On Android 4.4, the lockscreen actually shows you the LWP as well.
I think parallax effect not working but well pics are awesome... thnx :good:
LG Optimus G Pro E988
stock LG (rooted) ROM 4.1.2
Any feedback about battery consumption... since i have a travelling job i stay away from the charging point have to look at battery consuption
Edit: I don't know why but wallpaper changes with every auto rotation + in landscape mode size of wallpaper doesn't fit full screen. There is a black strip in the left (actually upperside) and right (lowerside) of display ...
Parallax effect not working on N9005 and why when I exit the setting after pressing the shorcut to setting, it will not get back to the app?
works prefect in Samsung galaxy S4 mini.... except from the first crash. Thanks a lot for your whole work!
It works flawlessly without any crash on Galaxy Note II, Android 4.3 (Touchwith). Great work as always Chainfire. :good:

Swipe down to refresh is already in the "features to be added" list. Next release will have this done. Also photo uploading will be available in next release. There will not be much options in the Lite version (this) but there will be some nice customizations options in the pro version. BTW, I removed the apk from download section by mistake. Coming back online soon. Don't know why xda says: Missing or incorrect project info....
Download app using the link in OP. XDA's Download section is displaying some errors...

Avast has been blamed some time ago for spying users using adware... try with other antivirus app. I just scanned my whole system and AVG Pro says nothing found... The app uses simple WebView to display 3 tabs only. Nothing else. I'm available if any moderator wants to get my project and check the code. And BTW this project is going on github soon...
EDIT: I just installed Avast antivirus and it says my Wi-Fi (home router) can be dangerous just because it wanted to scan the Wi-Fi connection. Maybe that's what it wanted to say... You should click on that notification and let it scan...
EDIT 2: I attached a screenshot. Please check it. These are the results from Avast scan. It says that there are two issue in my Settings. 1- Debug USB is active 2- App installation from unknown sources is enabled. LoL try to scan...
Updated to v1.2 with some important changes. Check the first reserved post for changelog.
Hello everybody,
I'm really excited about this app. I want to thank you all who gave it a try . The number of users has increased significantly beginning from the first day, 27/05/2016 at 4:51 PM Europe time. Today it's 30/05/2016 13:31 Europe time and we are counting 210 users. That's awesome. 210 users in three days on my first app is really satisfying . A big thank you to all of you guys. You are awesome :*
Important update coming in next days (hopefully in the next 2 days)
Which new features will be added?
※ Dark theme should be added
※ Some settings stuff should be available
※ Some none used lines of codes should be removed to reduce app side
※ Some performance tweaks

Stay tuned

I hope it won't take a lot of time to implement all these functions. Next week I will clean up everything and try to send the update before next weekend. Mean while I will send a minor update to introduce Drak Mode, G+ and Tumblr in the PRO version and Dark Mode in the Lite version...

Great! Ohhhh, but I want Tumblr, what if I buy the PRO version now, will the purchase be available for the next improved version with all the other functions like changing tabs, etc?

Well, combining Lite and Pro and introducing in-app purchase to unlock features sounds something really hard to me (by hard I mean these requires a lot of work) which means I'm not sure if I will make that available.
I think it's better for me to keep both versions separate. And it's better for those who already bought the PRO. If I remove the PRO version and create just one with in-app purchases than it will be a hard process to move these users to the new version with all features unlocked and the process will be hard. Frankly, I don't even know how I will deal with that process... So now, betraying my own words, I think you should go ahead and buy the PRO version now.
The PRO version will receive significant updates and will be improved better. And yeah next major release (probably before next weekend) will have the tabs rearrangement but I'm not really sure to make it work before next weekend.
Hopefully on this Sunday I will release a minor update of the PRO version with G+, Tumblr, Dark Theme.
It's up to you to decide when you will buy it...
