FOR THE USERS WHO JUST WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO DEMO:

Have you had an LG phone like the BL-40 Chocolate or the KP-500 cookie before with that cool 3d cube thingy, and wish you had the same for your android phone? Well, here's something that closely resembles that.
The chocolate had 2 home screens, and the wallpaper can be set differently for the two screens. When i bought the galaxy s, my very first android phone, i hoped that it had a similar thing, only now with 7 home screens to fill widgets with. Sadly, it didn't come with that feature (although the live wallpapers was a cool alternative).
And then i came across MultiPicture Live Wallpaper (free on the market) that let me set a different picture for each homescreen. AND it came with some AWESOME screen transitions. Also, you are not limited to just one picture, you can set a whole album to be shuffled for each homescreen. Cool yeah?
So i was impressed with that. Then I saw that launcher pro was having an update. In the newest version, Fede included some cool transition effects so I immediately updated and tried it out.
I don't know if it was fate or what, but the transition effects of the live wallpaper and launcher pro really work great together. Now my phone looks cooler than before!
IMPORTANT THINGS TO TAKE NOTE BEFORE TRYING THIS OUT:
Scrolling speed is different for the live wallpaper and the launcher, so i recommend playing with the minimum scrolling speed setting of launcher pro (launcher pro settings > advanced settings > minimum scrolling speed). If you find the wallpaper lagging behind your widgets/shortcuts, try setting the scroll speed to faster speed until they are in sync when scrolling.
IF MULTIPICTURE LIVE WALLPAPER FROM THE MARKET DOESN'T WORK AS IT SHOULD, OR IF IT LAGS TRY THIS OLD VERSION THAT I HAVE.

If this solves your problem good for you. If it doesn't, well it sucks to be you. LOL
people are reporting that in Darky's v9 this wallpaper doesn't work properly.. haven't tried it though since im in v8.1.. people on V9, please try the old version and report back if it works.. thanks..

If it's lagging, here are a few tips you could try.
1. Reduce pictures to your screen's size.. My screen is 800x480 so I resized my pictures to that size.. The file size of the picture may have an impact on the performance of the live wallpaper, so keeping it as small as possible may help speed things up..
2. Swipe your finger as slow and as short as possible.. I don't remember if I did this in the video, but whenever I swipe my finger, I do it slowly and my finger touches the screen for about half an inch.. This helps slow things down by registering a slow homescreen swipe..
3. Try less hardware intensive but visually unimpressive transitions.. My personal favorites are wipe, card and swap.. Wipe is the fastest for me..
4. Contact the developer and see if you could help out.. Im not the developer of the live wallpaper so I can't really do anything to improve it from a programmer's point of view..

BE SURE TO UNCHECK THE DISABLE WALLPAPER SCROLLING OPTION IN LAUNCHER PRO. go to launcher pro settings > appearance settings > disable wallpaper scrolling. Naturally if you leave that setting on, your wallpaper won't scroll.
YOU DON'T NEED TO USE BOTH THE LAUNCHER AND THE LIVE WALLPAPER. You can use a different Launcher on MPLW, and a different Wallpaper on Launcher Pro. But do take note that you can't have the launcher transition effects in a different launcher, and the Live Wallpaper transition effects in the live wallpaper..

Here's how to create the same setup
1. Download launcher pro. It's free and i believe the transition effects come with the free version.
2. Customize to your hearts content. Place widgets, shortcuts, etc just fill the homescreen with content so that you can see the effect.
3. Select transition effect. Press the context menu button while on your homescreen > preferences > homescreen settings > transition effect.
4. Download Multipicture Live Wallpaper and set it as your wallpaper
5. Set a picture for each homescreen. You can even set a whole folder to shuffle pictures from.
6. Set the transition effect that you want to go with your launcher pro transition effect. Press the context menu while on your homescreen>wallpaper>configure.
7. Enjoy!
Tip - go to launcher pro settings > advanced settings > minimum scrolling speed, then set it to 0.. it will slower the swipe speed (provided that you swiped your finger slowly as well)
Transition effects that go nicely with each other as shown in the video:
LP - Cube
MPLW - Cube
LP - Scale
MPLW - Swap
LP - Flip
MPLW - Swing
Not shown in video:
LP - Cube
MPLW - Wipe
LP - Rotation
MPLW - Card
Very nice effects. Thanks!!!
Ok im using a galaxy S with darkyys rom 9.0 and Voodoo 5.2 kernel.
Im using the latest launcher pro plus 0.8.3.
I download the app and go into setings and set individual settings for each screen, but when i go back to the homescreen it says no picture available please set picture on a black screen.
I cant double tap any of the homescreens to set a picture either.
I have noticed from some looking around that you have to go into default settings and pick screen type... but i have no default settings on my app or i cant figure out how to get into it.
Please help me set this up properly!!!

I heard darky v9 was buggy, that's why I settled for v8.1 ay the moment.. Anyway, I'm just your average android user, not a dev or anything but I'll try to help you out as much as I can..
First, can you post screen shots of your multi picture live wallpaper settings screen? I'll try to find a back up of my old version of that wallpaper for you to try.. I think the transition effects were included in the old versions..
EDIT: The link to the old MPLW is in the first post.. try it!

I'm on darky 9,0 Voodoo same as you and all works perfect. Maybe You have some options on check LP>Appearance Settings> disable wallpaper scrolling I think that option must be unchecked
I have this on and MPLW dasn't work
*FYI* You can use this with other launchers or if you can't find the setting inside Launcher Pro to set the transition (I HAD THIS PROBLEM THE SECOND TIME AROUND) This guide will help you. If anybody is using a different launcher like me I use ADW EX you might not be able to see the transition setting inside the launcher settings. You can still set this transition. While setting multipicture live wallpaper you can go into the settings before you actually save the wallpaper, scroll down to Drawing Settings and select your desired transition under Transition Type.
Before exiting I go into each individual screen setting for example Screen 1 Settings and click on Type of Screen then select Single Picture, Select desired image from gallery and then continue to do the same for Screen 2 Settings untill I have done all of my home screen wallpapers *BE SURE TO HAVE SCROLLABLE WALLPAPER ACTIVE IN YOUR SETTINGS ELSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO USE MULTIPICTURE WALLPAPER ****OP you might want to place all of this information in your 1st post***
Amazing! wow, thank you for sharing.. love it.. Thank you!

Well technically it is a live wallpaper, and live wallpapers are not tied to a launcher (at lest MPLW isn't) so yeah, you can use it with other launchers. But the point of this post was to show that the new Launcher Pro version's new feature are these transition effects, and those new effects go pretty well with the transition effects in MPLW..

It makes it seem like you need to use LP due to the nature of your original post. I was just clarifying it for the interested parties.
I have Darky`s v9.0 and it works great. Thanks
I installed the older version and it works fine now.
It loses the settings though if the phone is switched off and back on.
Ive set 5 different wallpapers to 5 different homescreens, disabled scrolling, but my wall paper isnt switching when i cange home screens, with or with out transition effect aplied in either mplw, or launcher pro plus . any ideas???
nvm .......

That was a typo. You should leave the disable wallpaper scrolling option unchecked.. Sorry about that, I corrected the instructions..

Hey everyone. This is my second android phone and its been a very long while since my first android.
My question is I'm trying to use my own wallpaper for home screen but it forces me to select one thats enough for 5 panes. Unfortunately I want a single image for all panes and don't care for the large image scrolling they have. Is there any way to use a single wallpaper for all my home screens?
I'm very new to android all over again with ICS, so any help would be great.

Only way to do it is to create a wallpaper in full resolution and put five seperate pictures on it...

You'd have to use a different launcher, as currently a fixed-position wallpaper isn't an option for the stock launcher. You could try LauncherPro, which allows you to disable wallpaper scrolling, but it hasn't been updated in a long time, and while I haven't seen any issues with my very limited testing, it hasn't been designed with 4.0 in mind.
check out multi live wallpaper. You will love it!

Ive been using this app auto resize wallpaper on 3 phones you just go to your gallery find the pic hit the share icon select auto resize wallpaper it looks like a female ninja lol and it resizes it for you. It sometimes makes the pics go on all the screens usually when the original looks like a landscape style pic but mostly it makes the pics fit on one screen so when you go through the 5 screens its on one and doesnt move.
I found a few hiccups but mainly it works great. No need to ever try to open it. It works right from the share link above the picutre your viewing in your gallery. If for some reason it makes it too big just go back into gallery and redo the process. I love it beats the hell out of cropping.

So I'm having "Wallpaper" issues.
I select the image from my gallary and I have the option to either
a) make it span multiple windows/frames or
b) I can select the portrait image and its stays the same on screens (or its supposed to).
When I select option "b" it also ask if I want to make that my lockscreen image too and I say yes.
When I go back to my home screen the wallpaper is enlarged/zoomed in and I can't get it to set correctly. However my lockscreen wallpaper looks perfect like its supposed to. Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix this?
Edit
After some more playing around im finding its launcherpro causing the issue. Funny though when i use that on my sensation it doesn't have that problem. Any suggestions?
Had a similar issue. Search the market for an app called dodol, it's pretty easy to figure out from there.

1. choose a live wallpaper for both home and lock screen.
2. go to gallery and choose a plain wallpaper and set it for only homescreen.

It's not working it saying it will be also the photo for the Lockscreen
I don't that is possible maybe with a special app?
I am trying to get some wallpapers to fit, when i view them they look good for the screen, but when i set them as wallpapers they get realy messed up.
I tryed alot now including apps that should resize them to fit etc.
the wallpapers i try to use is from here:

Only ones i get to work are the wide ones that are very rare.
Is there a way to fit the other wallpapers you see there, the tall normal ones ?
Hope someone can help!

I think I know what you're talking about. It's a problem with the way ICS and JB handle wallpapers.
I found that using wallpaper wizardrii or multipicture live wallpaper will do the trick.

I tested crop wallpaper from play store, and selected the part i wanted to use as wallpaper, clicked set wallpaper and the picture is still stretched out and don`t look like how i selected to crop it.
Something is messing up the pics by stretching them.
Also tested the first mentioned app and that one dosen`t work eighter.
Any more ideas i can try ?
Wallpaper Wizardrii is what you need. Press 'Set' and choose 'Crop Portrait'.
if all your looking to do is set a static wallpaper and not have it scroll with screen swipe then you can only enable this on a third party launcher. Sense has a permanent wallpaper scroll and thats why it stretches those pics for you. I recommend apex where you can set static non scroll option.
Alternatively, as mentioned by first reply here, multi picture live wallpaper will also do the trick so long as you set the source folder to contain the ONE wallpaper of choice because sense forces the wallpaper to change automatically to another on screen swipe. If you only have one in the selected source folder, it should just swipe to the same paper of your choice. I may be wrong.

Sorry that was also a no go..
Must be something that stopping me to crop the pictures, could be some function in my ROM or ST(suite Tools)
Not sure how i should solve this, maby reflash without Suite tools.
I also use apex launcher with wallpaper option set to fixed when I want my wallpaper not to scroll
