QR code scanning on WhatsApp Web not working with Honor 8 Pro - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I am trying to connect to WhatsApp Web using my Honor 8 Pro.
It is not able to scan the QR code.
The square QR code is getting stretched in the scanner.
I even tried to take the screenshot of the code, stretch reverse, and scan. Still didn't work.
Please provide the solution.

from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/help/web-whatsapp-t3636025
i had to try many, many times... i think like close to 20 - 30mins, over a few days... what worked for me was to use the phone in landscape mode. so, if anyone having issues, do consider this. i think it's probably a camera implementation issue.

Other QR scanner apps are working fine and are able to scan the code properly. But, the generated string is of no use as it can not be fed to WhatsApp web. Need some workaround now .

Raziest(user) successfully using the whatsapp web ,
try these steps given by him
I mange to login mine by changing the DPI
1. Go to Developer Option (Settings > Tap 7 Times on Build Number to enable Developer Option)
2. Change the Smallest Width from 411 dp to 350 dp (350 works for me, try bigger or smaller value)
3. Switch to whatsapp and scan the QR code
4. Switch back to settings and change it back to 411

For me, the Smallest width current value is 360 and not 411. Is that correct?
Once it works by changing the value, should I restore it back to 411 or 360?

yes you can restore

Thanks, Venu. It worked.

Successfully scanned the WhatsApp Web QR Code:
Try these steps:
-- by changing the DPI
1. Go to Developer Options (Settings > Tap 7 Times on Build Number to enable Developer Options)
2. Change the Smallest Width to 320 dp (320 works for me, try bigger or smaller value). Keep a note of the original value.
3. Switch to WhatsApp and scan the QR code
4. Switch back to settings and restore the Smallest Width value

Thanks guys.
But do we have to do this everytime we want to access web whatsapp? Is there a permanent fix?

Another way is to increase the zoom in the browser to 175% or above. Try to start scan from the bottom of the code.

[APP] Shopping Cart v 5.3 available now!

** version 5.3 available now! **
Information:
You no longer need to uninstall previous version(s) before installing the latest version!
If you have AppToDate you can use that to update the application to the latest version!
This requires .NET compact flash 3.5!
This supports Windows Mobile 6, 6.1 and 6.5.
Supported resolutions are 240x320, 320x320, 240x400, 480x640 and 480x800 in both portrait and landscape modes.
Downloads are in post 2 or you can use AppToDate to update it.
If you create your own language files please upload them to this thread so I can include them with the application!
Upcoming:
Add language support for configuration utility and save/open/browse dialogs. Currently only the main application supports alternate languages.
Possibly adding price information option per item (this would toggle-able by a setting).
Possibly adding finger gesture recognition for different things.
Possibly adding SMS support.
Possibly adding Today plugin.
Possibly add D-pad support.
Version 5.3:
New features:
Shopping Cart Companion - You can use this tiny application to easily create and manage lists (both standard and master lists) from your PC and transfer them directly to your device.
Fixes:
Optimized code greatly for larger lists. Opening a large list, e.g. 40 items per tab over 3 tabs opens in 5 seconds instead of 30. This has a huge impact on older / slower devices.
Version 5.2:
New features:
Shopping lists now have the typical elastic rebound effect when a list is scrolled beyond the beginning or end of a list.
Fixes:
The position of a shopping list no longer automatically scrolls to the top of the list if you click an entry that is below the "first page" of the list.
Version 5.1:
New features:
Save As menu option for new lists.
New setting to save a new list automatically.
New option under Settings/General/SIP. Show automatically when entering: Enabled, Enabled in Portrait Only, Disabled.
Fixes:
Exporting all marked items of a master list to a regular list doesn't work when using "mark all items".
Exiting from the master list without saving or anything says that the user tried to save the masterlist as a regular list.
Various errors with save dialogs not appearing and files not being saved.
Version 5.0:
NOTE: You will have to uninstall the previous version because of the name change! Otherwise you will have both applications installed!
New features:
Landscape for all supported resolutions. This is currently only within the main application screen, not the settings screen, save/open screens, etc.
New initial GUI upon start of application (enabled or disabled by a setting)- a "home" screen with more intuitive quick-launch buttons to access application features.
New option on long-press-hold over an item - copy item text to input field.
Language files included have been updated with the new entry above and need to be translated. When you do, please upload them to this thread.
A new setting to prompt a user to overwrite an existing saved cart rather than just doing it.
Application will be renamed to "Digicast Solutions' Shopping Cart" from "cRaCKwHoRe's Shopping Cart"
Fixes:
Intermittent application errors / crashes when deleting / duplicating items / opening and closing SIP.
Application not remembering last opened list.
Saving a list sometimes doesn't actually save it. This is fixed.
I am trying to prevent where a list of items scrolls back to the top if you are scrolled down and click an item.
Version 4.2:
Fixes:
Scrolling issue resolved.
Inability to add new categories/tabs resolved.
Resampled and resized images thanks to aiiro.
Version 4.1:
Fixes:
Opening a saved master list would cause an error. This has been fixed.
Installing the latest version of Shopping Cart will no longer overwrite your customized application settings with the default ones. They are now saved between versions.
Adjusted size of item container on different resolutions so that all items can be seen completely when you have a larger list.
Other:
Still trying to duplicate the "scrolling" issue affecting some users so that I can fix it...
Version 4.0:
New features:
Duplicate item (context item)
Rename item (context item)
Move item up/down (context item)
Check / uncheck item (context item)
Rename tab (context item)
Rename tab (menu item)
Add tab (menu item)
Delete all items (menu item)
Sort list (menu items)
Addition of master list functionality
Addition of Help screen
Addition of AppToDate support
Changed application installation location and registry location to "Shopping Cart" instead of "Shopping Cart v x.x" for compatibility with Sashimi and AppToDate
New setting for prompting user to clear cart
New setting to disable single-clicking an item to check/uncheck it. Disabling it requires a tap+hold and select from a context menu to check/uncheck an item.
Fixes:
Application now shifts/resizes when SIP is displayed so you can see everything (may add a setting for this, what do you guys think?)
Lots of new language items so language files will have to be edited
Tweaked some code and fixed a few memory leaks to make application faster overall
Saved lists are now automatically saved as Unicode files to preserve special characters.
Version 3.1:
New features:
Multiple resolution support - now currently 480x800, 480x640, 320x320, 240x400, 240x320. I only have a 480x800 device but on my emulators everything looks fine on the other resolutions. Let me know what you find!
Included updated/new language files posted to thread into cab file.
Fixes:
Saved cart being opened in reverse.
Version 3.0:
New features:
Multiple resolution support - currently 480x800, 320x320, 240x320. More coming...
Functionality to remove an entry altogether.
Tabbed cart lists to separate shopping carts for different stores.
Custom/enhanced save/open/browse dialogs. Default Windows Mobile ones are awful.
Context menus.
New configuration utility to change application settings, rather than modifying the registry.
Numerous new user-configurable settings and options via configuration utility.
Saving a list now retains the marked/unmarked status of a list when it is saved and re-imported.
New menu item(s) to check / uncheck all items in the cart list at once.
Fixes:
Slow scrolling issue.
Rearrange status and item list columns so longer items don't display over or behind the status checkbox.
Unicode character display issues with language files.
Labels no longer cut off in different languages.
Other:
Changed checked-item image to green checkmark to match "Manila" styling.
There are 15 language files now included, thanks to all the contributors for making the changes from the previous version. Old language files are not compatible with this release and will cause an issue when the application loads if you try to use one.
Had to temporarily remove color and strikethrough options for compatibility. Will try to add this back in for next release.
Version 2.1:
Fix startup issue for alternate language roms.
Remove scrollbars but still allow scrolling, to be more like other touch-sensitive scrolling applications.
Ability to customize the color of checked / unchecked items if MultiColorFonts is enabled.
Multiple language support.
Moved application settings into registry rather than .xml file.
Downloads
The files are below. Shopping Cart Companion needs to be extracted. It requires .NET 3.5 framework on your computer.
Also, here is a link to all the .NET 3.5 compact framework installation files.
You specifically need to have:
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab
NETCFv35.Messages.XX.wm.cab (where XX indicates your phone's language)
Hi thanks, that's really cool. I will use it as a to do list (I had raised this question a while back). It's not quite as good as getting it as a front page tab, but it will suit me fine. Cheers!
Fantastic, thank you.
Just last week I was thinking that it would be better to have a program that I could easy mark off what I have got. Now it is here. Cool
Thanks
Looks good...thanks!
Looking mighty fine crack . Lol @ forgetting cab file in first post.
/a
great work buddy.
Any one has ried on qvga?
Hey just tried this and on QVGA and it works but it seems that the spacing is slightly out compared to yours on the WVGA? Have a look
Apart from that all seems good!
great work, thanks!

A while back I wrote a very basic utility where I could write a shopping list and use it on my phone to go shopping with rather than taking a piece of paper and a pen with me. I got tired of forgetting stuff LOL! I use it every time I go to the store. I just thought I would share it with you all.
You can manually type in items to add to the shopping list or you can type up a list in Notepad or something similar. If you want to import a list in the application just save the file as a text file with each entry separated by a carriage return (new line / Enter) and copy it to your device. Then, in the application click File and Open and browse to where you copied the .txt file.
When you tap an item (click it) it toggles strikethrough text style, in effect marking it as found
Attached are a few screenies.
I'm open to suggestions as far as modification and such. It is designed for and works for the Touch HD as far as resolution is concerned. I don't know about other devices as I haven't tested it on any as I have no others.
Also, it requires .NET compact flash 3.5.

You mean the home screen being where it shows the clock, your missed calls, voicemails, calendar events, etc. right? If so, I wasn't aware things could be added to that. If they can I could look into it.
saw your announcement in Dutty's area, and got it. Work like a charm, man, thanks. I have been looking for a super simple one like this for long
Simple and useful...
Thanks!!

Cannot select multiple files in File Explorer

Just found another problem with my TP2. I want to move some files to another location but I cannot select multiple files in File Explorer by draging the stylus to highlight them.
Is this behaviour by design or is there a bug on my device?
Shd be by default. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
I use resco for multiple file selections.
Simple.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:1
It works! Thx Monx!
No problem. If the avatar is you, what about gimme a simple kiss. if it not u, pls dont. i'm not gay. but ur avatar is really cute . sorry off topic. just cant resist
(you know i'm kidding)
I also was looking for this solution.
And indeed, it works.
But it introduces another problem: To switch between your mail account, you can swipe from left to right.
But after this patch, that doesn't work anymore
So I've put the old setting back.
@ronh
can u give more details about email switch by swipe mate?
in manila or messaging app? mine is just fine. maybe there is some tmob customization.

It's in the messaging app, not in manilla.
When you're in the messaging app, and you move your finger from left to right, it toggles between the configured mail accounts.
In mine TP2 for example: Outlook - Gmail - SMS (and then it starts over with Outlook.)
And although my provider is TMO, I have an unbranded Touch Pro2 WWE edition.
@ronh
Ok mate, got it, thanks (i always use navigation pad with raphael to do this)
Just for info, in wm6.5, we can swipe to switch between tab (iehone settings). So it cause a side effect in messaging.

Indeed, that's a problem.
The Xperia I had recognized if you are using the finger or the stylus. When using the finger the application scrolls and when using the stylus you can draw a frame to multiselect items.
Maybe that's possible with the TP2 too?

Maybe it is related to OS build features or AKU changes.
Surely by disabling that reg key you're pretty much switching touchflo off?
So scrolling of anything in any WM apps (contacts, text messages, emails, calendar entries) will no longer work without using the scroll bar?
I just checked stock shipped Raphael (SEA 20764) OEMDrivers rgu, the value is set to 1 by default. And yes, messaging still scrollable to switch email account
I can still left< >right scroll between email accounts after this tweak.

after this tweak can you make a zoom to photos with stylus or rotate photos...????
You mean in photo albums? I have never been able to do either, even before the tweak.
I can double tap the image to enlarge it, or use the slider at the bottom of the screen to zoom in.
In any case, the inability to group files together in File Explorer is more of an issue for me than being able to rotate a photo (can always turn the phone 90 degrees instead), and the registry tweak has fixed that.
Very strange, just tried it again: With the patch --> no swiping, undoing the patch --> swipings works.
Too bad, I'd loved to have the best of 2 worlds like Mesquire...
(I guess she looks the TP2 lovely in his display )
Hi all,
The easy way to select multiple files in Explorer is the Windows way of selecting multpile files. Just press CRTL on your keyboard (you have one ) en select the files you want... It's Windows isn't it?

so weird! My TP2 suddenly lost it even with this set to 1
already tried rebooting: still nada.
UPDATE:
on further investigation, I found I can select multiple files only in some folders, e.g., root directory of the storage card, My wallpapers, Templates, files and folders directly under My Device, Application Data, Program Files...
but not files directly under My Documents, whether under My Device or storage card
UPDATE #2
The only way to have the ability to select multiple files in any folder AND keep left< >right scroll to switch email accounts is to set the it to 1, but not reboot. If I reboot with it set to 1, it behaves like the above.
Right now I have decided to set to 1 only when I need to select multiple files with the stylus, and change it back to 0 thereafter, or before a reboot. What a pain!

True
but I prefer doing in portrait - if I open the keyboard to use its CTRL key, the screen switches to landscape mode.

[Ideas] Bada Modifications.

I would like to hear your ideas for Bada modifications, what things do you want to see done to Bada?
Everything and anything goes! (within reason)
My wishlist.
-
Delete some unneeded "Icons"... because I can remove Facebook, Twitter ...
But few JAVA Midlets are somewhere protected against remove.
I was able to delete jar, jad, Icon but Icon still there in menu
Where is the Database entry to clear?
Preinstalled Widget too...
-
120 Apps Limit...
Hmm, there are other ways to replace ... BUT why 120 Apps are Maximum?
-
Developer signed Apps are only 1 possible to activate...
bada SDK Samples for instance...
Via Broker.exe Install seems more then 1 work at the same time... Why?
And how to expand to install more then 1 App at same time.
-
Filemanager bada App with Access to internal Filesystem.
I'm sure that Samsung will not allow this on their Store... but is it possible.
Someone told their are no APIs to access internal folder...
maybe invetigation of apps_compressed.bin will help to find "Commands"...
-
Folder delete in internal FS
I can create folder with PSAS, but can't delete. They are writeprotected.
More ideas hopefully later...
Best Regards
well for instance i wanna change the keyboard to either htc or iphone.... this one is too crammy like congested.... wanna have a spacious potrait keyboard......... and with universal setting like if i wanna activate predective text it should apply everywhere... not just in messages........ and it should always stay on..........
secondly i wud like to see more UI modifications beyond just themes...... like changing the status bar or the way notifications occur and stuff........... custom roms maybe... variety is a good thing...
I'd like to see:
Ability to create widgets or widget like apps using system parameters..
For eg: GPRS data, browser bookmarks, setting wallpapers etc..
Customization of the top Notification Panel buttons.
Filemanager Drag and Drop to move files and folders
A memory cleanup application.
Big Aspect sized thumbnails for videos.. now we cannot distinguish videos in thumb view.
More Right click options in files/folders - i.e., Click and Hold to show Menu options to Move/Copy/Delete/Rename/Open with/etc..
I'd like to see shortcuts (with names) like on Android and continous autofocus in the video cam !
My ideas or things I want in Bada
Here are my ideas :
1. Ability to replace whole UI like Android.
2. Folders in Menu.
3. Text-reflow in Browser.
5. Unlimited Menu pages and Home screens.
6. Unlimited SMS storage (why you want to restrict us to 1300 on a SMARTPHONE )
7. Sending Group SMS to any number of people (can be very useful for certain type of
businesses. Did u think about it Sammy ?)
8. Auto-hide of Notification bar and Lower bar after certain amount of time or on Tap.
9. Different Wallpapers on every home screen.
10. Better animations.
11. Smaller icons. 4x5 grid with an option to change to suit consumers' taste.
12. Notification Drop down to have buttons for APN, Brightnesss.
13. In-built Backup-Restore app for all phone data. User should be able to select to what he
wants to backup or restore.
14. Highly efficient GPS. (I would not like to buy a BMW whose tires I have to fix. I have
paid for it, btw.)
15. Better Facebook(with chat), Twitter and IM app atleast Gtalk. Current one plainly sucks
16. Various bugs in Messaging to be fixed.
17. Select all and Mark as read option in Email app.
18. Universal availability of Social Hub Premium.
19. A little better sound output through speakers (it is based on personal taste only )
20. Text-reflow and Pinch-to-zoom in Email app.
21. Soft buttons for Menu and Back.
22. All applications to have Exit button.
more to come.................
Out of all these I have already solved 7th but then everybody can't make changes to the file system.
Yes, I do love Bada and its potential. Its simplicity is killing feature
Thanks !
I think user experience would benefit by implementing GPU acceleration in UI and browser as in IOS and Windows phone 7.

Hi all. @TigerCourage on AF I play with the camera settings file "CamSetting.ini" in folder "Registry" can be seen with the program "sTune" (I started some new options "IntelligentAuto" I do not know what does). There is also an option to focus on video recording "RecordFocusMode" from "0" to "2" default "0". Try setting but do backup before (right click and copy).
Try my sample file

Hey how you copy a file because the file copied to the phone is only by drag and drop. If you are able to copy my files when you start the camera will see the icon "sA" without restarting the phone. Otherwise the effect of the settings I have attached the file with changed sound of shooting

Yes I copied by drag and drop and I've seen your "sA" icon at the beginning but the continous autofocus is nowhere to be seen...
Is there anyway to save camera shoot images in uncompressed format so that the quality of captured images will be maximum?
I would like to have a "fast-access" GPS button - next to the mute button ("green" menu). I'm really sure that this function will be very popular!

I would like to have more keyboard languages (with T9 or whatever it's called on the Wave).
I have seen a friend of mine with a Wave from Vodafone, and he has 30+ langage/keyboard optinons. On my wave (normal German FW) I have about 10. No Cyrillic characters, no Chinese, no Arabian...
How am I supposed to use the full functionality of such a wonderful phone if i can't write an email to a friend /business associate in Russia for example.
I could grump about it a few more pages, but the essence should already be clear
P.S. AFAIK the languages are stored in the CSC flash file, so it's not so easy to "just add" some in, but I hope someone from samsung might also see this and think about it.
Android.=D
If i where a moderator or administrator i would ban that guy for inciting flame wars...

Registry edits

First i want to thank Heathcliff74 for the root tools that the samsung focus to be able to access these parts of the registry and write to them, we were not able to reach or do before. Also want to thank Julien Schaps for the registry editor, and also his other apps. Also thanks to Reddragon93 for His advance explorer.
Thanks to XBOXMOD and others in his findings with parts of the registry edits and tweeks as those as well works for samsung.
I thought it would be nice to have a thread for samsung registry edits and how to. So everyone share your findings as you do or add one thats not here.
SMS SOUND TONES
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SMS
and change the value data in sound:
value data: \My documents\My Ringtones\xxxxxx.wma
For those with NODO
select the ringtone in settings, rintones & sounds, that you want as SMS and goto HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\......Ringtone "0" folder and copy the value data, then go paste that into the value data for the sound for SMS. Then go back and select the phone ringtone for calls in settings that you want for phone ring.
If you dont have NODO just create the correct path in SMS sound \My Documents\My Ringtones\xxxxxx.wma

These changes may impact the card stability issue but mine still remains stable. But i think in my experience it saves on battery and i also can tell a difference with the speed, i have no lag at all and seams to be a bit quicker!!

im using omnia7 but still the sms still not working everytime when i insert the path of the custome ringtone. and check the ringtone setting it will go back to NONE ....
Yes it will show none in the settings menu, but it changes the path that it selects for the SMS tone. Just send yourself a txt and you see. It will be possible for it to show up in UI maybe when file is able to be added to windws folder I think.

Make sure you have the path correct in SMS\ sound: Value: \My documents\My Ringtones\xxxxxx.wma if you are creating the value. It works i promise, try a reset after making the edit. Being able to have it in the windows folder will only allow it to show up in the list selection i do believe.

Someone noticed the cxscreen (in local machine/drivers/display/primary) value is set to 640 ??

So shouldnt cxscreen value set to 800 ??

It is in the windows folder listed as mologo.file
I think i may have the HD video resolution to be able to set higher, but havent tried to play video on computer yet to see if its full screen....will try to do that tomorrow and see how it works.
Im curious Lucas , once we have file system access (Focus) , with the mologo file , would you be able to change the file completely or would you have have to use the name mologo (even with a different picture) ? I mean personally I dont even want the screen to show up , giving me a faster boot!

[Q] Is it possible to create a picture widget that changes the picture randomly?

Is it possible to create a widget that will draw images randomly from a designated folder. I've been searching to see if someone has done something similar to this but it looks like the closest I can get is using the images as an iconset although I still don't know how I would have Zooper pull the images randomly (I want to add to the folder occasionally). Is this something that I could do by adding in Tasker?
Any ideas?
I currently have an image widget on one of my homescreens and the way I do it is as follows:
I basically add each photo as a bitmap: So you add a bitmap module and then you navigate to the photo you want in your device gallery. After choosing your photo, you need to add advanced parameters that will control the bitmap opacity at a certain time during the day.
[bo][/bo] is used for bitmap opacity
#DH# is used for local hour during the day (0-23)
my conditional is set up as follows for my first photo.
[bo]$#DH#>=16&&#DH#<22?100:0$[/bo]
What this means is that if the current local time on my device is between the hours of 16 to 22 (4pm to 10pm) then set the bitmap opacity to 100%, else set it to 0%. You can theoretically set this up to have a max of 24 photos (one per hour) each day that continually loops. Mine is set up in intervals of 6 hours (4 photos total) but I plan on changing the values to allow for more.
The next one would be:
[bo]$#DH#>=22||#DH#<04?100:0$[/bo]
Notice I use an OR statement || versus an AND statement && because the value goes from 0-23 and if you used an && here the image would never display because of the conflicting conditional.

This is a good website that outlines conditional statements in ZW.
I'm assuming this is sort of what you are going for with your widget? It's not really "random" per se but it gets the job done. Not quite sure what you could do involving tasker.

I was thinking about doing exactly this or possibly applying weather conditions to various pictures also. It doesn't really look like it's possible to add a random factor but this should do the trick.
Your steps are exactly what I needed.
Thanks

There is mathematical function you can use called rand...
Izzy Lamantia helped me out with this ...
The random function provides a number between 0*1, like 0.866390265. Let's say you had 10 pictures (named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.) you wanted to randomize on the hour:
$#Dm#=0?(int(random()*10)$.jpg
So again, on every hour a random number will be generated, multiplied by 10, and return it as an integer 0.866390265 x10= 8.66390265, as an integer 8.

So I would need to label the images: 1.png (I'm using png's), 2.png, 3.png, etc...?
Would the limit then be 10 images? If I wanted to use more than 10 images I could x 100 but then I'm guessing I would need to assign each image a range, if n >= 25 and n < 30 then x.png and so on. Can that be done?
Also, I'm a little unclear about how bitmap absolute path works. Is there a specific folder that I would need to put my bitmaps in? Looking at this example it seems that I can pick any folder I want.
It's awesome to hear that this can be done. I just need to work out the details now.

I was having some trouble getting this working but I finally found that there needs to be an extra set of parentheses.
$#Dm#=0?(int(random())*100)$ which give me a 2 digit number.
Now... I either have to pick 100 images (and label them 0-99, or is it 1-100?) or find a way to give the images a range.
If I have 2 separate widgets using the same parameters and drawing from the same folder, will the random number be the same or different in each of the widgets?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you
You would need 100 images and label them 1-100 if your multiplier is 100. You would need, say, 123 images and label them 1-123 if you multiplier is 123 i.e. $#Dm#=0?(int(random())*123)$
In my experience, the number generated is always different even if two random functions are performed at the same time although there is always the possibility that it will occasionally be the same.
I can't seem to get the widget working.
Here are the parameters I'm using $#Dm#=43?/sdcard/Pictures/Pics1/(int((random())*10)).png$.
Ignore the 43. Whatever time it is, I just add a minute so that I don't have to wait long to see if the widget will update.
I thought it might be the file path so I tried a few others:
/storage/sdcard0/Pictures/Pics1/
/emulated/0/Pictures/Pics/
Any ideas?
is it possible to create a picture
I had tried it many times but that does not work out
Not sure if OP is still wanting an answer to this or not. I'm still working on getting this perfect but hopefully this will help someone.
Create a folder on your sd card and put 10 jpg's in there titled 1.jpg through 10.jpg
Create a Zooper Widget and add a bitmap layer
do not choose an image, instead select Advanced Parameters and insert the following code
/sdcard/full path to image folder/$#Dm#>0?(int((random())*10)))$.jpg
If the above is correct then the example box should list /sdcard/full path to image folder/*.jpg
What does this do? If the minute is greater than 0 it will generate a pseudo-random number between 1 and 0. If you have set Zooper to update when the screen is off then you will want to replace the ">" with "=" so it only updates once an hour. You can make further adjustments by using Dh for hours rather than minutes. As stated above you can increase the images by multiplying by 100.
I wrote it like I did because I don't let Zooper update while the screen is off. If I changed the image on the hour it would likely not update the image because I would have to have my screen on at the beginning of each hour. As it is, it changes the image every 10 seconds or so whenever I have the screen on.
I am open to other modifications of this so I can keep Zooper configured to not update when the screen is off, and only change the images every 10 minutes or so.
Also, you may want a fallback image so you have something to display while you wait to whatever condition needs to be meet in order for Zooper to generate the random number.

I did the above, but had to add an extra parentheses before the word "int" to get it to display properly in the example box.
/sdcard/full path to image folder/$#Dm#>0?((int((random())*10)))$.jpg
However, when I save and exit out of the Zooper, it still just shows the default "folder" icon. I have it pointing to 1-10.jpg in a folder called "test" on my internal SD. I also tried the code in the advanced parameters of an existing picture I had on my widget, and it didn't do anything either.
HA! Figured it out. What a dummy I am. You have to put the b tags first
[*b]/sdcard/full path to image folder/$#Dm#>0?((int((random())*10)))$.jpg[/b]
(without the asterisk I couldn't get it to show since it's the same code for "Bold" on the forum)

If you have pictures 1-10 and you use random times 10, wouldn't the only picture that would get displayed be picture 10 (which is when random equals 1, times 10).
Or is the value for ((int((random())*10))) actually limiting the random numbers to be 1-10?

I actually have 66 pictures and the number increases everyday, since they're pictures of my boyfriend and he's constantly sending me new ones... or we're taking new ones etc. LOL I just change the number it multiplies by as the pictures increase.
I'm not sure if number one gets displayed... I could however rename picture one to 67 so there's never a problem. Since there's so many its hard to tell.

You should be able to do this with tasker/zooper integration. I have a weather radar image that I download via tasker. Due to how zooper buffers images I haev to change the filename each time I refresh the image. The new alternating path to the image is passed from tasker to zooper. First time is w1.jpg, next time is w2.jpg. This idea could be extended for images in a folder.
