Changing rotating wallpaper

**kssporty** · 01-12-2012, 06:37 PM

I am rooted and have GO launcher ex installed. I tried to change the wallpaper on my fire and it worked until it locked and I then unlocked it. Now I am back to the rotating wallpaper. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Which rotating wallpaper? Do you mean wallpaper that scrolls when you switch between desktops, or do you have a "live" (moving) wallpaper? (Like snowflakes falling or grass moving....)

The stock images that come with the fire and change everytime it is unlocked.

I figured it out using the newest kindle fire utility and locking the wallpaper.

This works:

Is there any way to do it that doesn't require root?

Not sure but you can always download GO Launcher and then try using the . I believe in there its under extras and then Lock Wallpaper, You will need ADB working though.

Yes, to do it with out root, look up "Rotating Wallpaper.apk" in Google and download it. You will have to side load it, but it doesn't require root. You do need to read the instructions, it has profiles that get set, but you just pick one picture and set that as the active profile. It also has a setting that makes the change after a minute, so sometimes if you turn the screen off and back on again right away, for a few seconds, (up to a minute), it will be one of the default pics until it switches to the one you set.

Apparently I'm an *****. I loaded rotating wallpaper, set up my file, set it to active and set the rotation at 1min. It changes it but as soon as I lock it it goes back to their crappy wallpapers and doesn't change back. I let it sit fir about 5 min

I was never able to get this to work.

the only way i was ever able to change my wallpapers was by changing permissions (ROOT Required) to the wallpaper file. Used ES File Explorer app to go into the directory. What a pain in the neck but the only method that ever worked for me lol

Seems we have conflicting reports of whether the rotating wallpapers apk works on the Fire. For those that it is working, are you rooted? If not, did you do anything special to get it to work? For those that it isn't working for, any idea why not? Just trying to decide if I want to give it a try.
