palm to evo

[bluediablito]

hello all
i have switch from a palm pre to an evo 4g.
i can see the themes are coming
but i haven't had the chance to take any apps for a run.
one cool app that i had on my palm pre (really love) was switcharoo.
i was wondering if there is an app/hack that will switch my wall paper every given time?
and also how can i change my icons?

Just go to the android market and try different searches. I saw your post and went to the market and looked at "wallpaper changer" and already a few different apps popped up. I can not recommend any as I haven't tried them.

Happy hunting

Try Flikie Wallpapers HD, which is just like switcharoo(download off server). I has an add in program called Flikie Wallpaper Rotator Addon, which is free. I am using the free version of Flikie Wallpapers HD. The only difference between free and paid version is ads. For the Flikie License, it is $4.99 right now. You know how prices drop. But the program is pretty good. You need Flikie Wallpapers HD installed to use Flikie Wallpaper Rotator Addon. Besides the server it does let you use your own pictures.

thank you every one for the quick reply
hey dfine1966 thank you for the info on the app. unfortunately i dislike the whole idea of connecting to a server to download the wall paper but i can live with it (one main reason why i hate this is because i work for the mta and i spend most of my time underground)
and sprint at the moment is giving me problem switching over the palm pre to the evo... ( i have the evo in my hand. i guess i will try tomorrow once i get out of work)

thank you all once again.
one last question in order to add a theme do i have to root my phone?

I forgot to mention, the difference with Switcharoo and Flikie, is that you can download all the pictures at once from their servers, and it stores it on the SD card. So it is not trying to download all the time and pull from the servers every time. You make the choice of what pictures you want and then hit save to the SD card. They have all types of categories, but you download through the program. Go to AppBrain on the web on your computer. Look up Flikie Wallpapers HD, and see what it can do.

Here is the link:

Sorry I didn't explain more about the program earlier.

As a former WebOS user myself and having enjoyed the use of Chameleon, I've found GeoPix to be easier to use on the Evo. Unlike Chameleon which required you to set a default profile and then also various roaming profiles, I had my default and then added in one for while at the office so my boss didn't complain about me having a little beauty on my screen.
