[Q] Slideshow wallpaper - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[REQ] Picture Display Widget

I like to use ADW launcher. Unfortunately I also liked to use the HTC Sense picture widget that displayed a picture and when clicked took you to the picture gallery.
I have not been able to find an app that satisfactorily emulates the HTC widget.
Could someone make one?
The only requirements are stated above. That it displays a single picture that when clicked takes me to the picture gallery. You can put in more options like a slideshow option or whatever else you can think of. As long as I still have it only display one picture.

I have tried this one. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to really take me to the photo gallery it just opened the picture viewer where I could only see the one picture in the widget. If I could get it to actually open the gallery where I could view other pictures and open up the camera, then it would be worth it.
I would also recommend turtle photo frame from the market. It does a slides with the widget that pretty cool. It has white and black bordered widget too which means it goes with about everything. Check it out.

heres something i figured out, that will probably suit your needs. i used launcherpro plus which lets you resize widgets, but also allows overlapping them. placed a 4x4 turtle photoframe widget, then re sized it to 3x4 then placed the gallery and video icons and resized the widget back to 4x4. clicking the picture switches to the next or i can click the buttons on the bottom to go to their respective apps.

This is interesting. I might do that until a better widget comes along.

[Q] Fill screen with wallpaper?

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!!

[Q] Thumbnail Bookmarks Widget

Hi.
I was looking for a widget that displays your bookmarks as thumbnails right on the screen. Found two - Live Bookmarks and Visual Bookmarks.
The first does it's job alright - it updates bookmarks as I change them, though it doesn't display them right on screen - first you have to click on the icon.
The second, however it looks just as it shuold, does a crappy job when it comes to settings. It doesn't refresh my b-marks properly, and settings doesn't really work the way I set them to be.
Do you happen to know any other app that might do the job I need done?
Or maybe you could make one?
Regards,
Wojput

stock gallery question

hey, guys!
I've owned several htc devices before and really liked the way their gallery was set up to view the pics without breaking them down into folders. Is there any way to make the stock gallery look like that? (just pictures organized by date they were taken, not separate folders those pics are in) Or maybe download an aftermarket app? I've tried quik pic on the note, but that app didn't have those options.
Thank you!

The stock Gallery application should have a drop down menu in the top left corner that lets you sort by Album, Location, Time (taken), People and Tags.

Can I remove entire home screens? Can I make folders in drawer mode? Where are photos

I can't seem to be able to remove all the extra homescreens so I have to remove all the shortcuts on them one by one. I also can't seem to be able to make folders in the app drawer as any kind of movement on the icon immediately tries to place it as a shortcut on the home screen.
Failing that, what suggestions do you have for alternate launchers or has that feature not been properly implemented yet?
Also why aren't my Google photos restored from online backup showing up in the gallery app?

You can set alternate launchers as default without any issues (need to use navigation buttons instead of gestures by default but there's a workaround) on v3.16 / v4.13.
I use Poco Launcher and these features are supported in that.
The gallery app has a weird sorting order as well that you can modify in its settings, however, if you can see your restored photos in Google Photos, I would recommend changing the default gallery app as well. I use Gallery Go but I think Photos works as a default gallery as well.
