Bug: Lockscreen Wallpaper Changes

When the wallpaper is changed it also changes the wall paper of my lockscreen which is set to the wallpaper for my notifications. Is this normal behavior? If so can we get a toggle?

Ok just kinda did a noob thing. Just read a few posts and realized someone else was talking about a similar issue.

So here is what i want to do.

I want my reg wallpaper to change

without

changing the lock screen wallpaper.

Is this possible? and if so can we just have a toggle for it? I run AOKP so i can set my lock screen and notifications to the same wallpaper.

[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
the first option is on my todo list, however i dont have much influence on how your launcher scales the image. i'll see how this other app does it

as said before, i have no influence on which wallpaper gets changed. there is one method in the android api "setBackgroundImage()" which takes a bitmap and nothing else. and on my stock android 4.1.2 there is still no option to set the lockscreen wallpaper independant from the "normal" wallpaper. it's cool that some ROMs can do this, but if they dont offer an API for 3rd party apps to do the same thing, i cant do anything about that

have you checked "change wallpaper every ... min" or "change on unlock"?
[Android Apps and Games] blackhartct:
oh ok :( ill ask the rom developers about this to see how they do it
[Android Apps and Games] steelfatboy1:
Great app! I too, would like to have the wallpaper fit horizontally. Right now I use an app called "Crop Wallpaper" that allows you to select to use the overall image without cropping. Maybe you could use it to help figure out how to implement a similar feature in your app. Here's a market link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lpaper&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
[Android Apps and Games] steelfatboy1:
YOU DID IT! The wallpapers fit great now! I have now purchased the premium features and there will be a donation coming your way. Thanks for adding this great feature!
[Android Apps and Games] pepoluan:
Hiya!

So, one of my favourite personalization app has a thread in XDA... the things you learn each day :D

Bought the paid version already, so if I may ask: is it possible to do a multiselect of pictures to quickly populate an album?

Let me explain why I asked for that:

Currently, I get my wallpapers from Zedge. All images are stored in one directory. Some of them are bright, some of them dark. I want to add bright ones into a "Daytime" album, and the dark ones into a "Nighttime" album. But to do this, I have to go back and forth between this app and the gallery.

Now if only there's a way to do a multi-select...

-- xda app / Pristine No-Mod CM9b3 / DXKL1 baseband / GT-I8150 --
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
as far as i know, the gallery app doesnt support multiple selections yet and there is no common method among the file managers to do so. so only possible solution so far would be to put your images in different folders and then add them using the "add folder" feature
[Android Apps and Games] pepoluan:
I see... thanks for the explanation.

Unfortunately, moving the wallpapers out of the zedge directory will 'break' zedge (that is, it will think I haven't downloaded the wallpaper)

Oh well then. I'll just puff out me chest and takes it like a man :cool:

Hello,

Thanks for this great app.

I'm running it on a SGS2, ParanoidAndroid ROM (JB), Apex launcher.

I sometimes have the issue that the app is choosing the default Apex wallpaper, which is not in one of my albums (two active albums at the moment).

Anyone an idea how this might be possible?

I'd like to help to debug this, if necessary. If any more info is necessary, just let me know.

Thanks,

Joeri
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
i guess it's an out of memory error, but you can send me a debug log using the attached version and an app like "alogcat"
[Android Apps and Games] joeri_:
Thanks. I installed this debug version, I'll send you the log when I get the default wallpaper again.

I just upgraded to 2.1.2 on my Nexus 7 and now my wallpapers don't rotate on unlock anymore. It flashes black on unlock like its changing to the next wallpaper but the wallpaper stays the same. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same thing happens. Is there anywhere where I can download the previous version?

Stops changing Wallpapers

Hi!

First thanks for that great App!

It works like a charm on my Galaxy S2 but on my Asus Transformer TF700T after a while it just stops changing Wallpapers.

No error message, nothing.

Any Idea what the problem might be?

Kind Regards,

Martin.

no, but you can try the attached debug version and find out ;)
[Android Apps and Games] GunFirE:

grabbing images from picasa would require INTERNET permission which the app currently does not have. i'll think about changing that

hi

ive been using this app for few days now and im very pleased. good work. i have 1 request though. could u add the possibility to change wallpaper every x second and not only minutes? right now i have set to 1min cause its the minimum time. i tried enter 0.25min (=15sec) but it didnt accept.

anyway. thanks 4 this app :good:
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
except for killing the battery as fast as possible, i dont see any reason why anyone would need a new wallpaper every 15 seconds
[Android Apps and Games] PlayGhost2:
well... in older apps to change wallpaper thats what i used (15 sec). I stoped using those apps and switched to yours cause your app is the only 1 i found supporting scroll on JB4.2.2. I have a folder with 524 wallpapers xD...

and sometimes i use Live wallpapers running 30fps. batery is not rly an issue to me...

Massive data usage

I had this app until i realised that it was the cause of a massive spike in data usage. It flattened my data for the month in 2 days the data shows under android OS and is caused by the android OS backup system which also backups your wallpaper and uploads the pictures via mobile data usage as soon as they change. The is problematic for 2 reasons. 1st it uses all your data and in places like South Africa Data aint cheap at all. 2nd because its always using 3G and or WiFi to do the uploading it results in massive battery drain. This is also a part of new android OS so this cannot be fixed by the app developer and there is no option to specifically unpick wallpaper backups.

Google has recognised this as an issue (issue 40447 in fact :crying: ! ) though see https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40447
[Android Apps and Games] _miha_:
There are apps like mine that have somewhat the functionality like this as a live wallpaper - thus avoiding the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Mobe1969:
I'm a newbie here, and only been on android for a few weeks. Xperia Z.

On this app, just a couple of Qs. Both the dev page and Google play talk about a Widget for changing wallpapers. And even shows a Widget Config screen. I have the application icon on my phone, but I can't find a widget setup screen.

Also, I find it hard to figure if it is running or not. When I installed it, I set the options, and nothing happened. Something like a simple button like "change now" to boot the process off would be nice. I tried hold click on image to set a wallpaper that way, see if it would start it, and it set the wallpaper, but not using my crop settings (it was filling height, rather than width/full image). So I figured that was not the same. Eventually it seemed to start changing automatically and showing the notification at the bottom of the app (next change in). But it was difficult getting a read on if it was actually doing anything.

It looks good though, and if it stays I'll donate. I've tried a few, and have had issues with them possibly causing choppy audio playback.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
i'll add a "live wallpaper mode" in the next version to avoid this. didn't know that they were actually backing up your wallpapers o.O

just like every other widget :D please google "how to place a widget on android" or something if you dont know how to place widgets.

easy: if there is a check in the checkbox before "change wallpaper every ... min" then the app changes the wallpaper every ... min. if there is a check before "change on unlock", then the app changes the background when you unlock your device. if there is no check in those checkboxes, then the app wont do anything

Image position

Hi,

I have image position set to fill. When my portrait pictures are displayed, the top and bottom of them is cropped but landscape pictures are displayed fine. However, if I change image position to fit then the portraits look good but the landscapes are too small and there is empty space above and below them.

Is there any way I can rectify this problem?

Thank you

P.S. I like the app.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:

[Desire General] Donnerwurm:
I would love to see HTC switching to a strategy of openness. HTC could really get ahead of competitors by opening themselves for custom themes, roms and kernels. Image how awesome it would be to one-click flash custom roms and themes without loosing warranty. Imagine switching kernels through HTC-Hub or something linke that :) Experienced users would be able to test and share experience if there would be a rating and reviewing feature that unexperienced users could rely on. HTC would really benefit from this kind of opennes in mid- and long-term.

Being able to customize roms and themes and trying different ones is what i do love the most about Android. It's really bad that this openness is only available to experienced users who accept loosing their warranty.

my current, rhod400, has currently developed the problem of the screen dying when the keyboard is slid out, too. ...has only been ten months.

so, presents my question.

what should i do next?

1. tear the rhod400 down and repair?

2. buy another rhodium?

3. buy an hd2 and give up the rhodium's lustful keyboard?

My stock music app seems to have started rebooting my phone after about 5 minutes of listening. The phone will then kept resetting itself until I power it off myself.

Strangely it seems to randomly move one app icon from the application menu half the time it reboots.

It's only started happening today and there are no issues when I use Winamp to listen.

There's no change to my phone over the last few days and the music app was fine until today.

Google didn't seem to bring up any useful info, any ideas what's causing it or how to fix it?
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
WOW and I thought I was going crazy with my phone :)

This morning alone, I was trying to have myself some music, and the phone freaking bounced like 4 times during 20 minutes.

I have 2 suspect combinations of conditions when this might happen. Both include of course the stock player running:

1) The setting is switched on that mutes the phone when you turn it face down - I suspect it has something to do with the reboots

2) The phone is manually switched to Airplane mode, or there are some rare issues with signal (I am in New York City, signal is the worst here)

Did you by any chance have any of these 2 when your phone bounced?
[Galaxy S II General] bisoner:
I have this too. I use poweramp as my music player and have no issues. Using stock KE7.
[Galaxy S II General] wizardofoz85:
I've got the face down mute thing on but I always lock the screen when listening to music and it's never caused issues before.

As for the signal, it happened to me at home where I have great signal and then again when I was at the gym, where the signal can get a bit ropey but not in the area I was in when I experienced the problem.

I can't really think of anything that might have caused it. It's not a huge issue for me yet but if out starts affecting other music players then it'll really bug me
