OK, thanks, that's really awesome!

What ROM are you currently using?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
i'm currently on the awesome Darky's ROM 10.1 but i think this is only for the SGS
[Android Apps and Games] rikardo1979:
cheers m8 ;)

will give it a try

:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] EXQEX9:
A very nice app! If you have a donate link somewhere, Ill be glad to send you some monies for it. :)

I do, however, have two nits to pick. I use the "next wallpaper" widget in conjunction with the "random order" option.

My first issue is that the random order of the wallpapers doesn't feel random. Sometimes I'll get the same 2 wallpapers a couple of times in a row. Will this continue to be a problem if I maintain my current number of wallpapers? I have 9 I think.

The second thing: Would it be possible to be able to set our own custom button for the "next wallpaper" widget? Not that I don't like the one you include with the app, I just want one that'll fit my home screen setup a little better. If this isn't possible, could there be an option to just make the button transparent? :)

I wish you the best of luck stranger. :)
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
i'm currently using the standard java Math.random() function so there's not much i can do about the randomness (though it might be possible that i set the interval not correclty and therefore the last wallpaper won't appear as often as the others, i'll look into that^^)

the widget is already customizable: just press menu while in the app and select "preferences". then you can select another icon for the widget :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks for adding the folder feature. :) I too am a 1000+ wallpaper person. I have a question I dont think was mentioned yet, what file types are supported?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
with the folder feature it searches for .jpg and .png files, but you should be able to manually add other types of images through the gallery by not using the folder function
[Android Apps and Games] EXQEX9:
Doh! Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] oreste191:
I am still getting FC when loading a folder with 700+ wallpapers on rotation or on screen unlock. Another weird thing I noticed is that my folder only has 717 files and the app counts 1425 (almost double). Should I break down the wall papers in sub folders 50? I am using these wallpapers: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985479

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] swee08315:
I don't think I'd use the timer for the wallpaper, but I do like that it's much quicker to change the wall paper.

I used to go through all the troube of putting my wallpaper into my launchers apk
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
i just uploaded a new version with some fixes. you might need to run the "validate database" option to eliminate corrupted entries
[Android Apps and Games] oreste191:
That update did the trick! No more FC. I hit delete all and reloaded the folder and its counting correctly and so far no FC.

Hi j4velin,

Not a bug but a typo - "Warning! Image is bigger then 640x480 px -..." should be

"Warning! Image is bigger than 640x480 px - ...".

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] wamphryi:
Just downloaded the latest update....I do not like the resize images "WARNING: This will overwrite the original files!".
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
well, you dont have to use it ;)

and it will ask you for the maximum height of the images and every image which is smaller than that won't be changed
[Android Apps and Games] wamphryi:
Ok...thanks for the clarification....I mis-understood the setting when I saw it automatically was prefilled with my screen height.

Would it be possible to have a toggle also to enable/disable it as a preventative measure so if i would have pics on my phone i wanted to use that are larger than my screen it will not resize them permanently?
[Android Apps and Games] ricky babalu:
First of all, thank you for a great app!!! I do have one suggestion: Is it possible to include automatic resizing functionality?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
mh that might get to complex. also i think it would annoy these 2000+ wallpaper guys if they had to choose wheather to resize or not on every image. and creating a resized copy of all 2000 images is also mostly a bad idea

normally the android system should automatically resize the wallpaper to fit your screen (at least it does on my system, using zeam launcher). but you can also use the "resize" option in the apps preferences, simply click your "menu" button while in the app and select "preferences"
[Android Apps and Games] :
I have a minor suggestion:

When you press the widget it would be nice with an onscreen notification saying that the wallpaper is changing. Sometimes I doubt if I really pressed the widget hard enough.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
should be done in the just published version
[Android Apps and Games] satanas17:
Hi,

Really nice app...would be great to be able to program a date for a wallpaper...

[Android Apps and Games] bgumble:
nice app, works like a charm.

could you please add an option to randomly change the live wallpaper?
[Android Apps and Games] _miha_:
That is not possible without user interaction. An app can only call the live wallpaper selection screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Chosen_on184:
This is a really sweet app. I was using the backgrounds app to change my wallpapers but with that i had to be adding to favorites.

Now all we need is a wallpaper pack thread
[Android Apps and Games] jetta20162:
I have the problem, that the wallpapers only change , if they are not visible (e.g. turn lockscreen off, or open and close a menu). I've not seen changing it live.

Edit: also the widget does not change the wallpaper live
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
please wait some seconds when it should change, it might take some time to load big images. also some home launchers might refresh the wallpaper only on homescreen change or something like that. solution in that case: change your launcher ^^

I can't add the whole folder, only single image file works. It shows xxx.JPG is not compatible image file!, but it does work when I select individual image. Please help!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
thanks for your report! the problem is, that your file ends with .JPG instead of .jpg but that should be fixed in the newest version (1.1.81) which i just uploaded to the market. it might take some time until you see the update
[Android Apps and Games] xlinkx:
Apparently this app doesn't like upper case .JPG extension.

Saved Cropped Images

I love this app.

Where are the cropped images saved? Is it a folder I can browse to?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
they should be at /Android/data/de.j4velin.wallpaperChanger/ on your external memory. note that this folder and its content gets deleted if you uninstall the app!
[Android Apps and Games] gkaravid:

Quality app, quick question, if i use the widget to change the wallpaper, does the time get reset?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
nope, i think not
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
great app, keep the good work! :)

few suggestions:

* can you make the albums list sorts alphabetically?

* pick an album on the "select an image" widget

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
thanks, i'll add these
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
The albums are sorted in the last update!

Thanks for that.

Please, can you sort the list when editing albums too?

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] euqiddis:
A suggestion,

Can you add teh option to change the wallpaper at a specified time (e.g. 7am everyday), as i find when I set the minutes it doesn't always change.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
well, if it doesnt work with "change every xx minute" then i dont see any reason why it should work with "change at xx". but also i dont see any reason why it shouldnt work :D

as long as there is enough memory to load the images and the images are readable (so your sd card is mounted) then it should change the wallpaper. i can send you a debug version if you want to know why it isnt working properly on your device

issues on Xperia X10a

Looks like a fantastic program; I found it through the Market and was attracted to its simplicity, modest resource use, and modest permissions. I'm stoked to use it, but I'm having an issue with my Xperia X10a (Sony's stock Android 2.1-update1). After successfully adding 21 wallpapers to my list, all I get now is the default Sony wallpaper. I did read through this thread, and I apologised if this has been reported/solved, and I missed it.

I do have a hint about what may be wrong: I wonder if there are some filesystem setup issues with my SD card. When I tap 'add cropped image' I get this message:

Error: Parent directory of file does not exist: /sdcard/Android/data/de.j4velin.wallpaperChanger/files/wallpaper_1.jpg​

Followed by the message:

Can not created file. Is your SD card available and mounted?​

No other apps have complained about the SD card being inaccessible. After creating that folder manually, I can create cropped images, but timed or manual wallpaper changes still don't happen.

Any further ideas about where I should look to troubleshoot this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
please send me an email, then i can send you a debug version with some logging. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] r0bsN:
thanks for this nice app. I was searching for a while for a wallpaper changer on android, and here is it.
[Android Apps and Games] Chosen_on184:
Ok i seem to be having a issue. It seems that it doesn't change the wallpaper at the given time i put. I had it set initally for 3 hours yet after i got to bed and wake up .. same wallpaper shows.

Decided to put it for 5 minutes and same thing.

I am using the Samsung Galaxy 2 for Tmobile. I have the wall paper stored on internal SD card

Also if i remember previous versions of your app had a save settings feature which once you clicked informed you that rotation list was started.

Now there is no save settings, and no notification that the app has started.

Again i am not sure if that was there previously but it would be great to add that back.

Has anyone else brought anything similar to your attention in regards to the app not working based on the times.

if i hit the widget it works, just doesn't seem to do it automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
you can restart the rotation by unchecking & rechecking the "change every X minutes" checkbox. if you write me an email, i can send you a debug version with some logging.

i often get similiar issue reports, but mostly it's because the images are not readable, the user has set a "dont change between ... and ..." interval or any other "user problems" which are resolved by looking at the log ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Chosen_on184:
Forgot to update you back on this issue. SEems i noobed it up and forgot to check the appropriate box:o

Thanks for the amazing app

Cropping Images

Just downloaded this app on my new Galaxy S III. Looks really good. A question: when I choose "add cropped image" it looks like I'm limited to square cropping. Is there a way to set the crop dimensions based on the screen resolution of the device?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
the app uses the getDesiredMinimumHeight() and getDesiredMinimumWidth() methods of the wallpaperManager class to set the aspect ratio of the cropping. so if your launcher (i think launchers set these values) want you to use a square wallpaper, it sets these values and you should respect that. some launchers provide an option to disable "wallpaper scrolling" and set the value to a rectangle then
[Android Apps and Games] craigkahn:
Thanks for the quick response. It's curious that when I open gallery and choose a picture and then choose "set as wallpaper" the cropping outline is a rectangle rather than a square. The aspect ratio is fixed, as it is in your app, but as a rectangle instead of a square.

Wallpaper Changer and Jelly Bean

Hello. I have recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (running yakju) to Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I then installed Wallpaper Changer (amazing application) but I have noticed that it doesn't seem to change the wallpaper on timer. I have the timer set to 300 mins (every 5 hours). This worked on ICS perfectly. I've gone 2 days now I have not seen it change on JB. The checkbox to change this is enabled and I do have 15 images loaded and ready. Could the JB update have broken it?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
though i'm not running an official JB version on my device, it seems to work without any issues. can you manually change the wallpaper using the widget? maybe you need to uncheck & recheck the checkbox once?
[Android Apps and Games] weddi_eddy:
I think I'm an idiot. It seems like ever since I posted that, it miraculously started working. I've changed nothing. Hrmm...Your support is amazing! Thanks and thanks for the app! It brings so much personality to my phone.

Ps. I guess this means it works for JB.

Work with LAN Shares

Nice app! Could you make it works for folders on LAN shares?

And I would like to know if the albums feature means the app can load a list of multiple folders?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] k4syx:
Any chance for adding an option to change lock and home wallpepers at the same time?

(this can be set on HTC devices by selecting for lockscreen "use the same wallpaper as home", but there's nothing like it on Samsung devices (i.e. Galaxy Note, stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM) therefore only home wallpaper changes :( )
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
sorry, but supporting non-local images isnt on my todo list. albums allow you to put your images in different albums so that you only rotate through images from specific albums instead of all etc.

you can add multiple folders without the albums feature

as there is no option for that on stock Android, i can not support this. some manufacturers like HTC might have implemented a method in their ROMs, but i have no idea if it's possible for user apps to use these methods
[Android Apps and Games] k4syx:
Thanks for the info!
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
i'm using the widget "select wallpaper".

when i press on the widget, all the images on the list are loaded.

if i want to select another wallpaper, the images are loaded again.

it's possible to cache the pictures for faster loading?

[Android Apps and Games] dikime:
Hello :)

First of all, thank you for making this great app. Among all the similar ones I tried, this gotta be the smoothest and most reliable one out there. Reads all wallpapers in my image folder, plus the way change interval is determined (input vs. choosing set values) is a really nice touch.

I noticed all the comments about lag when changing wallpaper and I saw this "issue" being dealt with in another app by changing the wallpaper on screen LOCK. That way when the user turns on the screen again, the new wallpaper is already there hence no "lag". Could you please implement this option if possible? The other app is using a background service and I don't know if it's possible to do this without it.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
yes, thats the problem: to get the screen off events, you need a background service running until the screen goes off. but i might implement this as an additional option

[Android Apps and Games] grappapapa:
Hi,

even though the question has been asked before, I´d like to ask it again - mainly, because it hasn´t been answered and because the issue annoys the hell out of me.

I´m currently on a Galaxy Note running stock ICS. What really gets me is that when using this app, my high resolution wallpapers get cut down and I loose the "scrolling wallpaper" effect I like so much. Would it be possible to implement a style picker for either fixed or scrolling wallpaper? That´d be great =)

Regards,

Chris
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
that depends on your home screen launcher. I tested it against stock launcher and Apex and did not loose scrolling effect on either of them
[Android Apps and Games] grappapapa:
Then, my system doesn´t like me. I´m using the stock TouchWiz on the latest LRQ (ICS 4.0.4) release for the GT-N7000 Note, only non-stock thing is that I´m rooted. I get my wallpapers from wallbase.cc, so most of them are high resolution (talking something like 1920x1080px minimum).

When choosing a wallpaper from Quikpic or the gallery, I can choose between the two modes.

Funny story, I tried it again while typing this, and guess what, first it works like a charm, but after some time it changes to fixed view. So my guess is that it´s either something on my phone or ...well...really don´t know.

Regardless, thank you very much for the hard work, lots of effort, fast support and finally the cool app =)

Regards,

Chris
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
okay, dont know if it works with that. first thing i do on my Samsung devices is to get rid of TW
[Android Apps and Games] grappapapa:
Yeah, usually all Android devices get Custom ROMs or other means of heavy customization (I´d be all over MIUI on the Note, but it´s not official yet). The Note is the first device where I do not feel the need to mod, ROM or do other stuff to it - apart from rooting it. Even the launcher feels good! Guess then I´ll have to live with it for the moment ;)

Thx again! :good:

Regards,

Chris

Hi J4velin,

Any idea whether you will implement a function where you can you rotate different batch of pictures depending on the time of day?

I think this functionality will be useful because I'd like to rotate a set of wallpapers while I'm at work and then a different set while I'm off from work...

Also, can this app pick up folders that are hidden from gallery?

Thanks!

j4velin,

So is it possible to change wallpapers from hidden folders (I don't like Wallpaper folders showing up in Gallery app).

Also, is it possible to have two sets of wallpaper to change from depending on time of day?

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
just create a .nomedia file in that folder and it shouldnt appear in the gallery any more. you'll need a file manager then to add images to the app

no, that's not (yet) possible. you can create two albums and change the from one to another using the "switch album" widget, but there is currently no way to do that automatically at a specific time with the app

Very nice app. I'm testing here. This looks cool.

Feature suggestion

I love this app! I have two suggestions that would make it my all time favorite.

1 - automatic image scaling. Just let me pick something like - 'fit horizontally' - 'fit vertically'. No stretch, just scale to fit. I use another wallpaper app called 'wallpaper changer 3', which does this perfectly with its 'no gap' scalin option. Unfortunately, the rest of the app is not as wonderful as this one.

2 - A widget (or something easy to get to) to let me delete the current wallpaper from my phone. I have a 'large' wallpaper collection - 18k images, and periodically I run into one that I just don't want as a wallpaper. It would be great to have a quick, easy way to delete a poor image.

Thank you for all your work! Love it!
