[Q]GIF as wallpaper?

So, I've seen that LWP aren't exactly "smooth", but that got me thinking.
I don't need interactivity in my wallpapers, I just want them to move
So I tried setting a .gif as a wallpaper, but it doesn't move past the first image.
So the questions is: How can you set a .gif as a wallpaper (so that it moves)

You cant

Are you asking about the wallpaper scrolling between homescreens. If yes, GIF wallpapers also scroll.
And the color quality of GIF will be low.

No he wants moving wallpaper (with animations) but not "live", in other words he wants to put animation as his wp, so it moves, but you cant interact with it.

There was an app that did this. It created an "Empty Livewallpaper" and allowed you to put your animated GIF in it, essentially doing what you are looking for. However, it seems to have been pulled from the market. (Obviously, the reviews were not that good)
It's the closest I can think of. More details here:

well wally was removed from market but i found an app called animGIF livewallpaper 2 but, unfortunately you need live wallpaper support so if your looking not for interactiveness on custom roms but just for the looks of a gif id suggest getting that and getting a live wallpaper compatible rom.

[Q] Any scrolling wallpaper app with slideshow feature?

Any scrolling wallpaper app with slideshow feature?
So it could display highest quality scrolling wallpapers without reducing, or cropping, but also could auto change the wallpapers every X minutes or hours?

Are you talking about something like the HOX? When you change from a main screen to another the wallpaper scroll a bit, is that what you're talking about?

I do not own HOX, but scrolling wallpaper - we already have that on SGS3, just we set 1 photo for it to show.
What i want is to auto change the wallpapers, so I select a folder with wallpapers and it does the job

wallpaper changer on playstore do the job

Hi thanks so much for the app, I love this wallpaper changer!

There is a Thanks button for that

Multipicture live wallpaper is the best I have seen, you can set it so a different wallpaper comes up on every home screen, and you can chose set pictures for 1 home screen and cycle through a folder for the others! They cross fade into each other which looks great as well

Scrolling wallpaper feature is useless if you want to have different wallpaper on each screen

Wallpaper App?

I used to have a wallpaper app on my Evo that allowed me to use wallpapers without having to crop them the way the stock wallpaper app does. It was called wallpaper plus but is no longer available. Does anyone know of an app like this?
I'm not looking for an app that downloads wallpapers, only that allows me to crop them the way I need or not crop them at all.
Thanks!!
It's not the size of your toys, its what you do with them that matters!!!

i use wallpaper wizardrii. not perfect, but has quite a few options

As long as it allows me to use wallpapers I download from the web or transfer from my Mac or PC. I don't understand why Android makes you crop just a small portion of the image. The Wallpaper Plus app I had allowed me to crop it so that it fit right without having to be enlarged and pixelated. I'll give the one you mention a try and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion

What I've been using since I got my Acer a500 last year is multi picture live wallpaper. It allows you to use 1 or multiple wallpapers and uses them in actual size. It uses minimal battery and is buttery smooth.

HTC One Wallpaper Size

so I've been on the internet, and everytime I find a wallpaper from the HTC One, they're only 1080x1920 instead of the typical 2160x1920, which is the wallpaper size for the DNA and S4 and other 1080p phones (obvi double the width necessary to fill the screen), which means they can't be uploaded to Zedge without warping or letterboxing them, and it also means it could be hard to find wallpapers on Zedge if the One doesn't support 2160x1920 wallpapers. Whats the deal with the wallpaper size, anyone know?

AW: HTC One Wallpaper Size
The one wallpaper size is 1080x1920, Sense did not allow wallpaper scrolling atm, so you need an height of 1920 pixel and a width of minimum 1080...
one'ed

You can get scrolling wallpapers with a different launcher,also I am sure that Venom Viperx team will do them scrollable in Sense like they did on OneX,so better keep both 2160x1920 and 1080x1920

Same here I am using Apex and I tried all the settings but my wallpaper is not scrolling really annoying, before I thought I am the only one, can someone help what's wrong with wallpaper scroll

Did you try with ADW launcher?
Also can you uninstall blinkfeed with Titanium Backup?
Perhaps this app is preventing wallpaper scrolling with non-sense launchers.
Worst case scenario is to wait for a MIUI/CM/Carbon rom or Viperx

I had this problem as well when I first got my phone.
I am using the Nova Launcher and while I know it should work right off the bat there is an issue that needs to be tweaked. If you go into these scrolling settings you need to tell it to force the scrolling and then it goes to the normal action that we're used to.

i use 768 X 1280 pixel since there is no scrolling i get best quality with this resolution.

You will get better quality with 1080 x 1920 as that's the resolution of the one.
The resolution you are using is 720p which is still going to be good as at this small a screen the difference won't be that obvious.

Even with 3rd party launchers wallpaper scrolling doesn't work. The only work around I found was using this live wallpaper: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.imglivewp&hl=en
But for normal non-scrolling use, 1080x1920 is the best to use.

[Q] Zoomed wallpaper

Hi,
Not new to XDA but new to this section. Bought a 10.1 yesterday and so far I am happy with it apart from 1 thing. Whenever I set a wallpaper it gets zoomed in. Even when I chose in Nova Launcher that it should be static. I know why it zooms coz it needs to fit the wallpaper so it scrolls.
Is there any way to get the wallpaper to look like it looks in the gallery?
Tried Wallpaper Wizardrii but can't get it roll the way I want it to.
Also tried Image 2 Wallpaper and same as above.
Also Zedge and Kitty Play won't play ball either.
This is super annoying.
Suggestions?

I think I might have solved it myself.
In the gallery when you do "set as" I chose Nova Wallpaper. Then it shows as a static wallpaper in its correct size, no zoom.
