Issue with a blank (back wallpaper)

Randomly wallpaper changer will not change the background it will remain black, if I use the widget to select next it says applying in the toast message, but nothing happens, same if I change albums. If I select a wallpaper changer as the the background it shows up as a blank (read black screen), other wallpapers do work fine.

Now Wallpaper changes knows about all the backgrounds in each album and they all display thiumbnails and in the gallery. However I can not get it to apply them, most often when this happens I have to delete all albums and recreate them from sratch, but this last time even that did nothing.

I know the images are present on the SD card and they are seen by Wallpaper changer and that wallpaper changer is set in live wallppaper mode, but it appears that wallpaper changer is using a blank (read black) image for the wallpaper.

Finally in the newest version the widget for select next is not working for me, however is I use select album or select wellpaper it works fine.

Thanks,

ERIC

Feature request - Delete Function

I have what is (hopefully) a simple request. I have a large archive of wallpapers. Periodically, one comes up that I either don't like, or just doesn't look right as a wallpaper. I would like the ability to delete that wallpaper from my phone quickly and easily. Perhaps a widget that deletes the current wallpaper, or another easily accessed method. If it is a widget, it would preferably have a confirmation dialog to make sure I didn't delete by accident.

I absolutely love this app, and it is 95% of everything I would want. Thank you for all your hard work!

Edit - It could also be a button on the live wallpaper somewhere, with a toggle to turn it off for those who don't want it.
[Android Apps and Games] lkelemen:
feature request:show the name or date taken of the image on the wallpaper

Please add a setting to show the file AND folder name or the date the picture was taken (from exif data) on the wallpaper. The text position could also be selectable. Extra request: Show also the name of the city where the picture was taken derived from the geographic coordinates of the exif data (if exists). I have many pictures from many years back on my phone and don't always remember when and where I took the picture. There are pictures which don't have date in their names but as I organized the pictures in folders according to the year I took the picture so the foldername alone could be helpful.

Thanks for the great app:)

Bug report

I'm using the latest version on the Play store and the wallpaper keeps loading the second image I have set in my order. The strange thing is if I turn my tablet on and off right after the wallpaper changes it will follow the correct order. But when I turn my tablet off and leave it for awhile it will ignore the next wallpaper and load the second image again when I turn the tablet back on. I have it set to change the wallpaper after every unlock. This happens on two separate tablets that I use.

Bug Report.

I am having a very similar issue, mine just seems to use the first few, 2 or 3 wallpapers over and over (I have over 700).

I have been using WPC for quite a while now with no problems, and have made no changes on my end short of the update.

[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
in /sdcard. Either upload the log somewhere (here or at any file hoster) or send me a mail
[Android Apps and Games] Ferrian:
I'm not seeing any log files there. Is there a specific location it should be in?

[Android Apps and Games] Ferrian:
I'm still not seeing any log files. The file should be in the root of /sdcard right and not in any folders?

Also is it possible for you to upload the previous version? I want to see if the problem still occurs with that version.

[Android Apps and Games] N3wklear:
Well, this is most unfortunate... I've been using the app for over a year now but since the last update it has become completely useless.

"- force use Gallery app for adding cropped images"

This change has made the whole app completely and utterly useless, as the Gallery app is nowhere useful enough when the folder has hundreds of images inside. You cant sort the images or anything, like you can in other gallery apps.

What is really the point of this?

The app was working perfectly before this change.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
You can still add images through the "share" option of any other app
[Android Apps and Games] N3wklear:
Any reason why this was changed?

You can't crop the image through the share-function... Your app just receives the whole image and doesn't do what I want it to do with it.

You usually see added or improved functions when updating an app, you usually don't see one of the most useful functions being removed without a substitute.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
because it was a PITA to deal with 100 different image viewer apps, each behaving different and returning a different result
[Android Apps and Games] N3wklear:
So include it as an "as is"-function, since I'm sure it works with the most common ones. Or let the users enable it in the options with a warning that it may rash the app?

It's no fun losing a lot of users for something so easily fixed!
[Android Apps and Games] N3wklear:
If you don't plan on ever bringing it back, is there a possibility that you could upload the previous version for all of us who preferred that one?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
try this one
[Android Apps and Games] John6:
Can't add images above 8MB

Is there a reason why I can't add images above 8MB? To slow on older devices? Platform restriction?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
The app would most probably run out of memory when trying to load such an image as bitmap
[Android Apps and Games] N3wklear:
Nope, didn't work. The app crashed with even the built-in gallery app when trying to crop an image. The previous version let us crop images even with the QuickPic app...

Hi j4velin

I use wallpaper changer a long time now and it's a really great app and works flawlessly. Thanks for that wonderful piece of code.

To improve this app I have to make you a suggestion for a new function or premium function (yes I would pay for that with pleasure)

Have you ever thought about profiles like per day/hour based and/or location based profiles?

So you can run specific albums at specific times or locations like work or home and switch automatically between them.

I would really appreciate to have such a function and i know that would really be a lot of work which could be paid for as premium.

Just think about it.

Regards Elveneleven
[Android Apps and Games] Oohhlala:
Bro, im using this cool app. I very like " change album " function. However in my opinion this will be better if this app have one shortcut to select album i want to show quickly because if we have many albums, " next album " shortcut is not usefully. And one more suggestion. Its about schedule rotation, for example in the morning (or period of time) it will show album 1, in other time it will shows album 2....

Sorry for my bad English. Thanks for cool app
[Android Apps and Games] Chosen_on184:
I have a question,

How do I stop it from changing wallpaper after every reboot ? I thought that it was supposed to stick the wallpaper until I manually changed with the widget but it seems it randomly changes the wallpaper by what looks like a schedule even though i do not have one set and after every reboot it changes as well.

Frustrating because I have wallpaper I like and want to keep for a few days but then it just randomly changes it or if I reboot I lose it and have to go searching through the folder for it

Anyone else experience this ?

Also if you go to the event option and uncheck all the dates the app force closes .. I think that is where the random changing bug is located

Quick question. I don't see the option to add photos from Google Photos. Is it because there are no internet permissions? But I see the following on the app store:

WHAT'S NEW

[MENTION=1246899]j4velin[/MENTION] I hope you plan on releasing a fix for this app on marshmallow (6.0.1) It's really one of a kind and I've been using it since kitkat but I recently upgraded to marshmallow and found out that everytime i try to add a folder into an album nothing happens. 0 images added 0 images deleted. then that album gets deleted. then i create a new album, add folder same thing happens.
[Android Apps and Games] drmilosh:
See if the permissions are set for the app and try again..
[Android Apps and Games] ch!no:
[MENTION=4356002]drmilosh[/MENTION] tnx for that info. it worked, initially. but when I created a second album the app acted again as if permissions were disabled. i checked and permissions were still enabled. so now i try disabling/enabling permissions. went back to the app and now even the first album that got created initially lost its content (shows 0 images) and just like before i can't seem to add any folder to an album, the only difference this time is that permissions are granted for access to sd and location.

i uninstalled and reinstalled, enable permissions then boot up app, added folder to default album, success. created second album, added folder, unsuccessful. but i found out that adding single images work, i think there's something wrong with the add folders. as soon as i use the add folders, every album disappears except for the default album.

Issue with external storage

Hi J4velin,

I've been a happy user for a while but since 4.5 I'm running into a problem.

I store my wallpapers on my SD, but since you've released the version that uses the Android storage access framework i get an FC when adding a wallpaper to an album.

I was able to use the log so I hope you know what's wrong.

I have an LG G3 D855 running a custom AOSP ROM MM6.01 AND Xposed. This has never been an issue before though.

Also, how can you add multiple wallpapers in one action from a gallery app? I change ROMS quite often and Titanium backup does restore the app, but the albums don't show the wallpapers anymore (though not empty) and I have to rebuild them manually.

[Android Apps and Games] JavaMocha:
If the app is configured to change the wallpaper on a certain interval, will it do so even if the device is locked or its screen is off?
[Android Apps and Games] techguyone:
Umm , is this abandoned ware now?

I've used the app for quite some years now and it works superbly.

Now we have albums though, would it not be possible to allocate time frames for each one. For example, a Day album containing bright wallpapers, and a night one for dark ones where you may not want a bright home screen.

assuming of course that this hasn't been abandoned,I haven't seen any dev action since 2016 so it might have been.

If it has, can anyone suggest an alternative, that allows this type of action.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
Nope

[Android Apps and Games] techguyone:
I cannot specify my daytime album to only run in daytime hours, ideally it would be nice to specify hours for designated albums like 10pn to 8am for night time, and 8 am to 10 pn for daytime for example.

I know other wallpaper changers do this, but none are as good overall as yours, it would be nice if you consider adding in timeslot functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] roseyhead:
Feature request - Tasker integration

I'd love to be able to change wallpaper, control my albums and so on through Tasker. My ideal use case would be to create a Tasker profile to change the wallpaper every 30 min and then put a toggle in my notification center quick settings to enable/disable the profile, say when I hit a wallpaper I particularly like and don't want it to change again in half an hour.

Some other possibilities include rescanning folders when Tasker detects a new file, album switching based on current wifi network, automatic switching to a different folder full of landscape wallpapers when the device rotates and so on.

Edit: I guess I can do all of that with the AutoShortcut Tasker plugin since what I want is mostly covered by app shortcuts anyway :)

the wife and i have noticed an issue with the latest version of wallpaper changer (on play store) with android Pie.

she has a pixel 2, i have a 2xl. we both have wallpaper changer installed and are both noticing an issue where the notification shade seems to be disappearing when being swiped down, immediately after an unlock. it might be worth noting we both have the option to "switch wallpaper on unlock" enabled. it also seems like pixel launcher may be crashing and restarting during the shade disappearing. i have tried to get video, but it does not happen all the time, just some of the times, and its kind of difficult to get a recording of it.

i have since uninstalled wallpaper changer to test, while the wife still has it enabled, she still is having issues with the notification shade disappearing, while my issues seem to have gone away. we both love the app, has been working well for 4 years now for both of us.

hopefully this is something that is an easy fix. if the dev needs more info, or anything, feel free to let me know, i'll be more than willing to help however i can.

Recursive folder

Is there a way to add a folder to an album, and all pictures in subfolders as well? (Recursively?)
[Android Apps and Games] FuciMiNaKule:
Hey, after long time usage of this app I encountered a problem, I did a factory reset of my phone and now when I try to select this app as a wallpaper it doesn't offer the option. When I try to enable it through the app itself it says that it can't find live wallpaper settings and that I should do it manually (which I can't because the app doesn't show up in the wallpaper selection) or to set it to static mode (which does nothing as far as I can tell). I have Nokia 3 updated to Android 9, no root.
[Android Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
I've just started using this app and it is pretty wonderful.

I only have two issues, hopefully they can be sorted out...

2. When I add new folders to my phone, they don't appear in the app, even if they have images in them... any way to force an update?

Your wallpaper changer app was perfect but has stopped picking up images if the selected folder contains a .nomedia file.

This has been an issue for weeks.

Please, please, please please please, fix !
[Android Apps and Games] twinko:
Do you really think there will be an update for this app after 8 years without any change?

Just delete the nomedia file.
[Android Apps and Games] lazarus_mub:
Without any change in 8 years? The most recent update to the app according to the Play Store was March 2023. So yes I do hope for a reply and a fix.

Removing the .nomedia files means images in those folder will appear in other apps, which I don't like. This used to work perfectly but stopped working about 6 weeks ago (Cruriously this lines up with the date of the most recent update). I'm guessing it is a bug.

Really like it, pretty much exactly what i've been looking for.

Can I make one suggestion? The option to randomise the pictures when switching or using the widget?

It appears to follow the order displayed when switching. I have quite a few pictures, but think I would eventually start to memorise the order. Plus it's a nice feeling picking up the phone without knowing which one's next. Or keep clicking the widget till I find a random one I like!

Then it would be perfect :D! Apologies for being picky...
