I've tried a half dozen wallpaper changers already and can't find one with the simple features I want.
1. chooses wallpaper from a folder
2. displays them randomly (can be every time I unlock or after a time limit)
"WallChanger" comes close, but the order is not random, it keeps showing the first few files in the folder.
Every other app either doesn't work with KF, doesn't override lock screen wallpaper, or crashes outright. I'm not really willing to flash a new rom and I'm content with Go Launcher (which has its own wallpaper system but it doesn't play well with KF). So does someone have a simple APK that can handle this?

Hey guys, is there an option to fill the screen with the wallpaper like in Windows? The Cropping thing is annoying me. If not, what's the proper width/height for 1 screen? I really wish there were a way to get a live preview at least if there's no fill screen. Lately all I've been doing is increasing canvas size and adding black bars in photoshop. Works most of the time but then there are some pics that just need to be resized properly.
I you have an app that changes your wallpaper automatically when it picks the wallpaper you want it will fill the screen with that wallpaper without cropping it.
If you want just that one picture as your wallpaper....what I did was pick the picture I wanted and put it in its own folder and in the settings of the wallswitch app, I chose it to use wallpapers in the folder I put the picture in. So since that was the only picture in the folder, it became my default wallpaper. OR you could wait till you catch your phone when it picks the wallpaper you want and turn of the auto feature in the app.
hope that helps!!
I finally found a live wallpaper that I find useful. MultiPicture Live Wallpaper allows you to set a different image for each homescreen. This lets you make better use of pictures of family and friends. It has other features, including using a folder to display your pictures at random, transition effects, and changing the wallpaper with a double tap of the homescreen.
You can set a default image and settings and then change the image and settings for each screen. If you want a screen to act as a slideshow you can set it as an album or folder screen and then set the selection order. If you have double tap to change turned on you can change the image just by tapping on the screen. No more opening a gallery app to show off your pictures.
If you use a home replacement that lets you disable homescreen background scrolling make sure you turn that setting off so that the images will change when you change homescreens.
This app does increase battery use, but I can still make it through a full day with my phone. YMMV.
Love this app. Many wallpapers on my device and never bored!
I am having problems trying to setup my wallpapers on my kindle fire.
It is at the moment a little weird.
This is what hapening:
1. I try to setup a wallpaper. Pick Rootexplorer, choose the file and the wallpaper does not change, but i am redirected to the home screen of my launcher
2. Same as above, but, i am not redirected to the homescreen, instead, i am prompted again to pick a app to choose the file again (eg: Galery, Rootexplorer or QuickOffice ), and after i pick the file again, i am prompted again for choosing an app ( endless loop)
3. Sometimes, after i pick a wallpaper it finally changes, but not to the one i just picked, it picks a wallpaper that i tried to set like 10 "tries" in the past. (DAFUQ)
4. Sometimes, the wallpaper changes, but its rare, very rare.
Considerations:
1. Yes, i have set the permissions correctly allowing me to write the wallpapers file
2. Stock Rom, rooted, 6.3
3. The resolutions of the wallpapers are not the same, i have tried different resolutions and none of them are working 100% of the time.
Any help ?
Thanks!

Come on!
I just use this app to change my wallpaper:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS53YWxsLmNoYW5nZXIiXQ..
Didn't bother doing the permissions or whatever I needed to do to change it. With that app you can use any res you want as long as it is at least 600x1024. I only have a single home screen so 600x1024 images are perfect for me.
I'm using 3000x3000+ resolution wallpapers but on CM7, but can't install any wallpaper on stock rom.
I will try that out.
Thanks
EDIT: Still Not working.
I can only see a black wallpaper with a fire icon.
1. Enabled it
2. Pick Single Wallpaper from "Downloads" folder located at my "SDCARD".
What am i doing wrong?
I use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.srsdev.wallpapers
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using XDA
I might have missed how to set this up.
I want a photo slideshow from my picture library folder, one that randomly picks the pics.
How can i set this up?
There are many apps for the same on playstore.
Ok, if there are none by default, any recommendations?

Moderator, is this a right place to post?, this should be in G3 Q & A, Help & ............., this is the right place for G3 themes and apps only.
Try the Muzei live wallpaper from the store... instead of random art you can have it use your own photos and can even choose to fade and/or blur them if you like. Nice app.
Thanks. Have tried Muzei and it is a nice app. Cant find out how to change the image quickly though, seems the shortest time is one hour.
I recently installed google play store and started installing apps and noticed the icons in the fire phone carousel aren't high quality. I read about using APK Icon Editor and tried using it to repack apk's with a higher resolution icon but for one the device selection doesn't even list the fire phone and 2nd i tried repacking apk's a few times by clicking on different icons sizes like 624X624 and installed but still the icon is blurry. I have even re-sized the icon in the program and tried that way and when installed still doesn't work. Does anyone know of a way to do this on the fire phone so Google apps look like they belong on the phone?
I second this request.
blurry icons
Those blurry icons are driving me nuts!! I have playing around with apk icon editor and have been able to get youtube and the playstore to display a high quality icon but now they crash when I try to open them. I chose All Models under the device menu and then the xhdpi (624x624). All the rest don't do anything to the icon in the carousel. It's a start!
That's better than nothing. I'm going to try that too
i hate the low res icons
amazon dev sucks
Have you tried this method?:

I definitely haven't. Interesting. I'm going to try it out. Did you do this and it worked?
No I haven't, but seems to make sense and should work as far as I can tell
