Switcharoo (Random Wallpaper Switching) - Page 2

volcom45 · 07/30/2009, 09:26 PM

Hmmm, sort of frustrating.. I rebooted into Developer mode and installed via the Windows application and it still doesn't show up. What is going on for me and the guy earlier?

Update: well thats not cool, I just deleted an app and tried again and then it worked, are we really limited to a certain amount of apps? If so, thats just horrible!

NachoB · 07/30/2009, 09:31 PM

Silly question maybe, but are you guys that are having trouble installing it running WebOS 1.1.0? Some homebrews require this OS on the phone.

pacha248 · 07/30/2009, 09:46 PM

I installed with filecoaster and it's working.

One problem I've found is that it also uses pics from other folders not only the wallpaper folder.

cajunlibra · 07/30/2009, 09:46 PM

I am running 1.1. I keep it up to date by installing as soon as I hear about the update. It did finally install through filecoaster. Not sure why it didnt' just do it right away.

Bigchris · 07/30/2009, 09:55 PM

This is great... I installed with file coaster, no problem... I'm so glad this out, I've been waiting for this....

danoob · 07/30/2009, 10:04 PM

wanting this for a while. thumbs up to you sir.

Kaerey · 07/30/2009, 10:09 PM

Good Job, the need to immitate palm applications is what's holding me back on making changes to my Notification.

merrix · 07/30/2009, 10:12 PM

Thanks,

un_designer · 07/30/2009, 10:48 PM

Thx for this app! I have been wishing for something like this.

As someone mentioned earlier, there is a bug where images from other folders are being used as well, even though only images from the "Wallpaper" folder is supposed to be used.

A couple of enhancements that I think would be super useful would be:

1) specifying folder or folders to pull images from.

2) shorter intervals of image switch

Thx again!

andyckr · 07/30/2009, 10:51 PM

LOVE IT!!!

THANK YOU!!!

***suggestion: the only thing its missing is if you could chose the folder of the wallpapers rather than it picking out pictures from all your photos.

Prethorpe24 · 07/30/2009, 11:20 PM

i have been trying to get this hack running all day like you have no idea, my question is will the stuff i altered mess with this or other future stuff..... sigh, though i would like it on a 1 minute timer and that guy with the once an hour thing for time of day, that sounds pretty awesome

Yes and no. Its not a varaible palm put there, its just how much space they made in the partition where homebrew apps go.

looneyguy69 · 07/30/2009, 11:40 PM

installed with filecoaster with no problem... works great!!! thanks a bunch

jdale · 07/31/2009, 12:10 AM

This is awesome, thanks.

It works for me, I have the default folder name "Wallpapers". There is also a folder ".wallpapers", maybe it makes a difference? I'm guessing the wallpaper you have in use (and other you previously used) is stored in ".wallpapers" while everything in "wallpapers" can be selected.

My one request, which I think should be simple, is that when the random wallpaper is selected, check to make sure it's not the same wallpaper it was before. I only have a half-dozen wallpapers right now (since I didn't have a switcher...) and it often loads the same one I am already looking at.

Nightburn · 07/31/2009, 12:18 AM

Been waiting for this! .Thanks so much for making it !. My Pre now changes wallpapers like Windows 7 new slideshow feature. Awesome!

thebogman · 01:03 AM

Thank you for the app, I have been waiting for this. Nice job

Weeton · 07/31/2009, 01:25 AM

great app, filecoasted and coasting backdrops.

sixshooterz · 07/31/2009, 04:13 AM

Looks to be very promising! I'm going to wait until some of the suggestions (choose wallpaper folder, shorter time periods) are done before downloading. Keep up the good work!

MarkY · 07/31/2009, 05:59 AM

Worked for me the first time. Installed with Filecoaster using the default "Wallpapers" folder.

scrupul0us · 07/31/2009, 07:00 AM

Any chance we could have the option to pick from what gallery the images are pulled from... so instead of "Wallpapers" it could be "Rotation" or w/e we'd like?

Nice app otherwise, mimics the same functionality ultramon + vbs scripting + windows scheduler does on my desktop
