Awesome Live Wallpaper

[rsarno]

I'm curious as to how you figured out where to divide the picture up in the seven parts so that it looks like one when you scroll. Can you give a quick tutorial or can I send you a picture to do for me?

If each screen is 480x800 just keep capturing at those dimensions

I think I understand. Just take those "pieces" of a whole picture that are 480X800 starting from left to right, and crop each one where the last one ended?

If you have Photoshop it is fairly easy to do. Photoshop allows you to add guides to the image which makes cropping a breeze. Just divide the image into 7 segments (using a new guide for each), then crop. Name each of the images numerically (i.e. sunset1, sunset2...etc), and save them on your phone. Once you have all 7 images, go the MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, select settings, and then Screen Type. It will prompt you for each of the 7 pics. Then hit return twice, set wallpaper and you are good to go.

Thanks, I had no problem using the pictures that Stupifier posted in MultiPicture Live wallpaper, it's pretty self-explanatory. I just wasn't sure of the cropping procedure. I don't have PS on this computer. but I have other picture editing programs that I can try with.

Thanks again!

@Musky

Ya, I pretty much did what all the others are suggesting to get the picture cropped/split right. Pretty much the same process....

Hope to see some other people post some cool Wallpapers!

Nice WP! Thanks a lot.

 

[coco savage]

seems pretty cool

when you hit home button twice to zoom out, does it show the little images of the new wallpapers? or is it transparent like it is now?

bump for this

They have a "translucent" background, but I think it is adjustable from what I see in the settings.

When you zoom out it just shows the background you were viewing last

Has anyone used this for a few days and noticed any bugs? I'm not sure if it is related to this App...but I think it might be. It seems that on some random occasions when I unlock my phone, my screen will be on screen 6 or 7....when I never even use/access those screens. It just...sort of puts me there.

Anyone else notice similar behavior? Pushing your phone to some random homescreen when you were never there in the 1st place? I don't wanna knock the app till I can get some confirmation from other users who have used it for a few days now. Please comment

I have not experienced this issue (but I have only been using this app for about 4 days now).

Wish there was a way that the dev could create a template that would automatically load the sequence of images (instead of having to load each picture separately). For example, have an input box where you could browse to the folder with the images, select the first image in the sequence (i.e. sunset_1.jpg), and the app would load the rest of the images (based on a format like _2, _3, _4, etc.). Would make things a lot easier when trying to load a sequence of images. Would also make switching images a whole lot quicker for those of us who like to switch images every few days.

In reference to using Multipicture Live Wallpaper, does anybody know if it's possible to have a live wallpaper (Such as the terratime globe) for 1 screen, but have static images for the rest?

I've been trying with no luck!

It's a new bug in the Sense UI's latest two versions. I've run into it while writing my own live wallpapers... if you hit Home after starting an app from a different screen, Sense doesn't tell the wallpaper that it needs to move back to the Home section.

Other launchers have similar bugs, plus others. For instance, not telling the wallpaper that you've changed the number of homescreens, until you do an orientation change as well (landscape to portrait, etc).

Grrrr.

AFAIK, you can only have one live wallpaper at a time. I suppose you could write a custom launcher that started a new one on each page, but the delay would be nasty
