View Full Version : [APP] Diamond BackgroundChanger
kevinv2u
18th September 2008, 11:59 AM
I've written a small program that allows you to automatically change the background of your home screen. It works with TF3D only.
Why?
Because it's fun to see a different WallPaper every time you turn on your device.
What?
Diamond BackgroundChanger has the following features:
Ability to specify WallPaper Folder
I suggest you grab yourself a copy of this wonderful WallPaper Pack:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420906
Ability to indicate whether to change the WallPaper automatically or not
Ability to choose the interval for changing the WallPaper
30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, etc.
Ability to add the program to your startup folder
The program saves and restores your settings when restarted.
How?
Just download the attached CAB file and place it on your device.
On your device, tap the CAB file to install the program.
Note: Click YES if you get any warnings.
What Else...
You must click the "Apply" button to start the program.
You don't have to do this if you add the program to your startup folder ("Menu - Add to Startup").
You need .NET Compact Framework 2.0 to run the program.
Please, let me know what you think of it.

@kevinv2u
Hello!
Nice app and very nice idea from you!
Thank you very much for sharing with us and your work!
Downloaded and installed on my diamond! :eek:
But i think there is also still a little bug when the device goes to sleep mode and you wake it up with the power on button my Diamond most times do not respond to the touch screen!?? :confused: Like the touchs screen is locked?
After about 20-30 sec the touch screen then worked normaly...
I have the problem only when your program is running in the background... when not the touch screen works perfect when i wake up the device... :confused:
Maybe for your next version some comments and wishes from me :) :
- is it possible that the application starts automaticly when windows starts
- it would be better when it runs as an own process then as an programm in
background mode... because i think then it works also to change
backgrounds when the phone is in sleep mode?
Regards

I've already modified the program so that you no longer have to run it in the background. In the new version it will also work when your device is in sleep mode.
I've updated the attachment in the first post. Please, let me know what you think. I haven't had the chance to test it thoroughly yet.

Wow very fast! Thank you!
Iīve installed your new version! Looks very good! ;)
Now it works fine on my diamond, even the bug, i experinced after wake up the device from slleep mode, with your first version is gone!! No problems till now!
Real lovely app! :rolleyes:
One little thing, can you ad longer times for changing the wallpaper to your next version?
Maybe 7h, 12h and 24h??
Thanks

18th September 2008, 11:41 PM
THANKS great app. :)
Now i can put some photo's from my kids in it as a photo album
Maybe for the next version you could put an extra responce time in it like in the samsung phones, 20 and 30 seconds
That would make this great app a real screensaver.
from now.. your app is running on my diamond :)

I've changed the program a bit. Yes, again!
Tweaked and optimized it a bit, and added a feature to add it to startup.
@johnboywilson
Please, uninstall your current version. Then install the latest version.
Also, it only works on the Diamond (TF3D). Make sure that the path you've entered is correct. E.g. "\Storage Card\Content\WallPaper". Do you get any errors?

Ok i will try new one i hope it works as this is something i have always wanted for all my windows phones i have ever had. There are no errors and yes i have tf3d running. My path is Internal storage\content\wallpaper is this ok. The pics are listed in the panel below so i presume the path is correct.

does it drain more battery life?
I've had it running for over a day now, and it doesn't seem to drain my battery.
The program only runs at specified times, and doesn't keep running in the background. It only runs for a few seconds and then closes immediately.
If you let it change your background every minute, your battery life might be a little shorter, but then again, the program only runs for a second if needed.

I've updated the program.
This version should fix the null reference errors.
The program now shows when the background will be changed.
Please, let me know if it solves your problems.
As for the problem with the batti bar: that sounds very strange, as the program doesn't do anything with today items or whatsoever.

edit2: that means there is no loop after setup last wall it ends at default wall and it change it to default wall again and again and again...pls fix this its the only problem for me...

Yes, I will look into your problem.
If I understand you correctly, the wallpaper isn't changed when you have chosen the default wallpaper.
As for your other problem, I don't really understand you.
It changes your wallpaper, and toggles between the default wallpaper and one in your wallpaper folder?
Which version are you using? (Menu - About)
The first version only worked if you used your phone. The latest version also works if your phone is off.

Hello
I have tried all the ver you have provided, but the wallpaper doesn't change. There is an indication that it will change, windows indicator, but the wall paper stayes the same. I have tried to make a new directory called Storage card like mentioned above, but this does not help either. I get no error messages. I have tried to put it in the startup folder but also without results.
Then I deleted the Storage card folder and the error message mentioned above occured. I guess therefore that the path is correct.
I have also hard reset my device to make sure that there is no problem with other applications innstalled. Same problem... it will not work...
Or could it be that the default wallpapers doesn't work. I have not downloaded other wallpapers because I wantetd to try it out first.
My ver is
ROM 1.93.409.1.NOR
ROM date 07/11/08
Radioversion: 1.00.25.05
Protocol: 52.29.25.12H
I would reallly like this applicatioin to work so that I can use my pictures of my newborn daughter as wallpapers.... with your application :)

Please, uninstall the current version and install the latest version from the first post. Let me know if you still have any problems.

3.during 3minutes EXACTLY it change 6 times in row to default wall so it looks like nothing is happening except WM wait cursor during changing

If you click the "Change Now" button, does it change your wallpaper?
Also, what kind of files do you have in your wallpaper folder? (JPG files?)
You don't get any errors, e.g. "Unable to change wallpaper" or "Directory does not contain any files"?

I only have JPGs in my folder. I've checked by trying to change the folder name to something random, then it says there are no images there, so I know the folder name is right.
I just get a blank background image, whether I change manually or not.

Hi,
I love this program is really nice, but I have a small question:
It seems to change the wallpaper all the time, also when the device is in standby (eg at night) So why do not add the possibility of changing the wallpaper only when we put the screen ON for Save the battery?
I think many people would use this like that :p

2nd October 2008, 01:45 PM
I have a big problem with this latest version. It prevents TF3D from loading up on switch on or if the phone is connected to an Active Sync PC. The only way I can solve it is doing a red button reset. Turning the phone completely off with power button doesn't solve it which I would have thought would have.
When it is up and running it appears to work fine although in one instance it defaulted to the TF3D squares and no amount of manual changing using the programme would change that so I had to reset again.
Is it trying to load up before TF3D and therefore confusing it?

I have 0.5 version of your program. Sometimes it cannot load a wallpaper from the folder I give it. For example I set a folder with 30 wallpapers all in jpg or png format and set to change them every 1 minute. And sometimes it works, sometimes does not, leaving just a black screen. I checked all the files in wallpaper folder - they all work and can be seen on my Diamond. Why then your program cannot load it? Maybe it has some restrictions I do not know about?

man very good program but it has one problem. I now want NOT TO CHANGE the wallpaper because i like one, and i want to keep it for some time, but, your program is starting every time the phone starts, and change the wallpaper every time. How can i make your program not to work automaticly every start up?
I even uninstalled it, but it still try to run it at start up, and bringing a error message. How can i solve this? Thanks ,

This was a great idea and I love that it uses so few resources. I'm having 2 issues. I only have three pictures in Internal Storage/Content/Wallpaper. They are currently all JPG files and are all identical size. The program is running on a Sprint Diamond. It is currently set to change every 30 seconds. It rotates 2 of the pictures but not the third. The third picture never appears. Instead, it seems to rotate the default wallpaper along with the other two.
So here's what happens: picture 1, picutre 2, default (black) wallpaper, picture 1, picture 2, default (black) wallpaper and so on.
Default wallpaper is not in my wallpaper folder. I went to "settings" in TF3D and changed my default wallpaper to the missing picture. That picture then appears as wallpaper until the rotation starts. Then the missing picture disappears and the rotation goes back to picture 1, picture 2, default (black) wallpaper and the third picture does not come up in the rotation. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the third picture. It was a png and the others were jpg so I converted it to a jpg but it didn't help.
Thanks again for this great little program. Sorry the above is so long but I was trying to be clear.
ocbizlaw
21st October 2008, 06:57 PM
Okay, I resized the picture again and it seems to be working. It's odd because the picture was 640 x 480 and was a png file. I converted it to a jpg then reduced it to 120 kb and it works fine. It also stopped rotating in the default (black) wallpaper.
Thanks again for a wonderful program.

Man, you just go to /Windows/StartUp folder on your device and remove program from there manually by deleting appropriate file.

A bug some of you also might run into today: After the DST change the schedule was out of sync with the local time. This was causing the software to permanently run, thus blocking my PPC. I finally managed to access the program and untick the schedule box, but it wasn't easy. Hooking the PPC up to my PC as a USB disk helped somewhat.

for those of you who are getting the problem with pictures not showing up (showing the default background) i found that it had to do with the file names. i believe it doesnt recognize pictures that have names starting with numbers.
not entirely sure, but i just renamed them all to a random word and it fixed it for me.
great program :D

Uh oh, most of my wallpapers are numbered. Any plans for a fix or should I start renaming?
Also, I've got my wallpapers on the storage card and this may be the problem. Right before the wallpaper changes, I get a spinning beachball for a couple of seconds (I'm assuming this is the program starting) and then nothing for a couple of seconds and then it changes. Any way to get that beachball to not pop up? Also, would it be possible to make the transition smoother so that the current wallpaper fades out and the new one fades in?
Super great little app. Thanks!!!

Very cool software. About to try it on my Touch Pro.
One thing I'd love to see is the ability to set a schedule for certain folders of images so it can apply them based on certain circumstances. So I could have it cycle through one folder during work hours, a different folder in the evening, maybe another one on the weekends, etc. So I can have the cooler, less professional photos (anime, pin-ups, etc.) during weekend hours, cleaner work-friendly photos during work days, etc. Just a few user-definable time-frames where I can point it to different folders for each.

I've written a small program that allows you to automatically change the background of your home screen. It works with TF3D only.
Why?
Because it's fun to see a different WallPaper every time you turn on your device.
What?
Diamond BackgroundChanger has the following features:
Ability to specify WallPaper Folder
I suggest you grab yourself a copy of this wonderful WallPaper Pack:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420906
Ability to indicate whether to change the WallPaper automatically or not
Ability to choose the interval for changing the WallPaper
30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, etc.
Ability to add the program to your startup folder
The program saves and restores your settings when restarted.
How?
Just download the attached CAB file and place it on your device.
On your device, tap the CAB file to install the program.
Note: Click YES if you get any warnings.
What Else...
You must click the "Apply" button to start the program.
You don't have to do this if you add the program to your startup folder ("Menu - Add to Startup").
You need .NET Compact Framework 2.0 to run the program.
Please, let me know what you think of it.
Version History
v0.5
-Bug Fixes (null reference, directory that doesn't exist)
-GIF/PNG files can now be indexed too
-Ability to change WallPaper manually
v0.4
-Indicator that shows when the background will be changed
-Fixes to ChangeWallPaper function (might solve null reference errors)
v0.3
-Fixed bug: 4 hours was actually 4 minutes
-Added feature: Add to Startup
-Added some extra intervals
v0.2
-Does not require the application to be running in the background
v0.1
-First Version

great program, installed with no problem at all. took me about 30 secs to realize i need to manually type in and designate the location of my wallpaper file that i made.
i have it set to 5 minutes so that i can have a good look at the wallpaper pics i got....really nice.
there is that windows style hour glass that comes up...but it doesnt bother me at all and is only there for about 2 seconds just before the wallpaper changes.
i actually have it going on just the home page and so far i think i will prefer that. if you decide to update the file and make it so that it can be on all pages, please make that an option so that we can choose to have it on all pages or just the home screen.

I agree completely. Its a nice piece of software.
Now i can see all my girlfriends photos like a slideshow.
Anyway, one small problem, sometimes the program reloads the same pic, but in
a wrong size...it shows a wrong pixel size, a little stretched and the black TF3D background comes through. I will post a screenshot later.
Thanks again for the tool.

4th November 2008, 07:05 PM
ok, i got a couple of questions and requests for the next update...if there is going to be one.
1) does the program go through all the files within the specified folder? i have a mix of .jpg & .png files (717 in total) and wonder if the program will cycle through them all.
2) is there a way that the next version could have an option to either pick images in a random shuffle (repeat & or non-repeat) or continuous loop.
3) is there a maximum number of images that the program can cycle through? as stated i have about 717 different images in .jpg or .png and i don't think it is going through them all, i see a lot of repeats as well.
**again, thank you for all the hard work. this is absolutely one of my favorite programs on my TP so far.
***EDIT: i figured why all my pics were not being shown. i added a huge file of images after i had already got the program going. it seems that it didnt acknowledge the new files and was just cycling through the ones already there. i uninstalled the program, soft reset, re-installed, soft reset...and now its giving me all the images.
note: i have a ton of images that start with a number and it is showing them as well.

/Internal Storage/Content/Wallpaper - is a default Diamond directory for wallpapers.
What I expect to be fixed in the future:
1. Beachball not showing up when wallpaper changes. Because it shows up on top of ANY application I run on my Diamond.
2. Custom time intervals.
3. File names starting with numbers fix.
Looking forward to 0.6 version.

Guys, I also had problems to get this nice app working - it showed approx 1/10 of pictures..
but...
NOW I KNOW where the problem was! You must rename your pictures resp. extensions to lowercase!!! (JPG -> jpg)
I did this now and I have no more blank backgrounds or little white squares I had!
I have only jpg pics now so someone should try it with other ext.
Maybe the number-bug should be verified,too because maybe you were successful
just because when renaming you also changed JPGs to jpgs :-)
I have Raphael with Ellite RC3 but I don't think this bug is device specific.
So maybe version 0.6 should be born :-)

I must admit it, this little piece of app is on of my all time favourite! ;)

i still have 'the default wallpaper bug'
no numbered files, restarted the device..
Ditto. Not sure if I can supply any more information. Application set to change very 30 seconds for testing. This is the order I go:
-Set wallpaper via settings tab
-Launch Application, set directory, set time, hit schedule button (show's it'll run in 30 seconds), hit change now.
-Close Application (by tapping on "Ok")
-the wallpaper has changed
-wait 30 seconds... "beachball icon appears", wallpaper changes
-wait 30 seconds... "beachball icon appears", wallpaper changes
-wait 30 seconds... "beachball icon appears", default wallpaper
After this it seems to be random if it'll pick another wallpaper or if it will stay on the default. Even going to the settings of the application and manually hitting 'change now' it still won't change off the default application.
I don't have any images that begin with numbers. Any other suggestions?

Strange - as the developer didn't respond I tried this again - I have 1300 wallpapers (I downloaded a big archive :-) ) and copied it to my storage card. Then background changer sometimes changed background but most times there was only a small white box and no picture. After this I changed all filenames (and extensions) to lowercase and from that moment it works perfectly. Be sure to check lowercase from your phone.

I have enjoyed this on my AT&T Fuze for the past several months. Energy released a ROM that uses TF3D2, based on the HTC Rhodium, yet to be released. Since TF3D2 uses a different set of manilla files, this program does not seem to be completely compatible. Is someone working on an update?

In current xboxmod TP2 Manila with v1c fix (and also using showaco's alltabsbackground 2.2), this prog works like it always did. Don't know why you're experiencing problems... :(

I have installed the .cab file to my phone and added to my startup menu. The problem I'm having is when I open this application and press the "Change Now" button, I get a message stating "The specified directory does not contain any files." Does anyone know what the correct WallPaper Directory should be? Currently the WallPaper Directory is \Intern geheugen\Content\WallPaper\ .

Hi, I uninstalled the program via ActiveSync. But after I restarted the phone, there is a notification error saying that it cannot execute the program (I guess I had set it to start program everytime I turn on the phone). Does anyone know how to fix this? What should I do?

do you have an italian/wwe/fra/../ rom? you have to change "Intern geheugen" with the term wrote in your diamond. For me is "memorizzazione interna" because i've an italian rom ;)

Hi all
i have a Htc HD, and i am running the new ROM 1.56
i have installed the Analogue and small flip clock mod and i have Diamond Back ground Changer v0.5 installed.
problem is when i press the power button to wake phone up i get this some time, not all the time.
http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6619/screenshot1ewq.jpg
when i go into setting on back ground changer, and press, change now, it goes back to full screen.
http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1616/capture001uuv.jpg
it does not do it all the time.
i have notice that someone else have had the same problem but there is no reply on a fix. can any one help.
i know it is not a ROM issue as it was doing it on the previous ROM as well.
thank you in advance

Hello! I've been using this app all the time, on 6.1 TF3D custom roms. Now I have a WM6.5 custom rom on my diamond, and I dumped TF3D for titanium (my choice, whether good or bad). Is there any way to have the titanium backgound (wm6.5 standard background, I guess) change with this app or anything else?

Hi ppl,
I was looking for an app like this, that the only thing it does is to change the background and nothing more (ie. S2U2 that does this and many other stuff).
Well this is great, and I only have a couple of questions before I try it...
1 - Does it work on Xperia (WVGA)?
2 - Does it support 800x800 stretched portrait and landscape wallpapers?
Once again nice app...
Regards,

kevinv2u,
This is the best wallpaper changer I've used out of all apps that are available but there a couple of things I want to point out. The wallpapers are zoom in after the images are changed. Also, it doesn't change the wallpaper in landscape mode. It'll be nice if you can implement the "Fit to screen" feature. Thanks for this app. Hopefully those features are included in the next release.

I have tried many times to redirect the path to point to, but it keeps telling me no files are present. i downloaded one of the picture packs to try it out and it does not work. i am kinda new to windows mobile6.5 so if you could give me an example on what the path should look like, that would be great. here is what i put in \\MyDocuments\Breathtaking - that is what i thought the path was. the folder is in my My Documents folder and the folder is named breathtaking. any help would be great.

I have been using this for months with no problems. I take a week from California to Indiana for a week and now this does not work.
Some time it will put up wallpaper, but when I run a program it changes back to the default. Usually, it simply does nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and even changed the location of the wallpapers and it does not work.

Nice program, but I have a problem with it. Sometimes it only showes me a black background. I checked all pictures and they all work on the phone.
whats the problem?
Edit:
I deinstalled the app and reinstalled it after a softreset and now I only get black backgrounds! I applied it to change every 30 sec, but it is always a black background.
what can I do?

I tried different sd cards, a hard reset and a complete uninstall/reinstall, so I had the idea of using different pictures. I had 735 pictures. I deleted them all, and put back ten pictures and it works perfectly. I then added pictures back, ten at a time until I found a set of 25 pictures that break the program. These pictures seem normal and open inside the phone in the picture viewer.
I don't know, but I suggest you delete all your pictures and re-add them in groups.

I am using S2U2. I a hard reset with the same card and the same picture set and background changer will still broke. I did a full restore with sprite backup and deleted all the pictures and re-added them and it now works, even with S2U2 :D

Change the file name of all your background pictures plain text letters or words. Remove spaces, numbers and such.

Hello to everyone,
Eventually this program works only when names of the photos are in lowercase and without numbers. However, this rule must be applied to all files, otherwise application seems not work correctly. Doubtless it’s a very strange behavior!!
Summing up, I am wondering if the developer of this great idea is eager to continue this program, because I didn’t see any post from him for a long time. However it’s a pity that he isn’t in mood to share the code of the application in order to continue someone else his project.
Regards

Hello Everyone,
I have tried file rename utility and renamed all wallpaper files with lowercase and lower case extenssions JPG-->jpg.
And it works....!!!
The thing is when you rename file from mobile it will create file with uppercase extenssion and when the wallpaper changer finds file with uppercase it starts showing default black wallpaper...
Please use following free file rename utility and fix this issue finally...

Please take this blog futher and post cool wallpapers now...

Please let me know if anyone know this developer and we must try all to keep this thread active. It' s a great application and it's a pity to put aside this try

One more annoying issue
Few days ago I noticed that my Diamond open and close directly its monitor one minute before new day come, namely at 23.59.. Scheduler with one day frequency, is my selection for automatic background change.
It seems that application do something and awake my device. When scheduler has been disabled, the behavior of HTC Diamond was correct at 23:59 and it didn't open, so this application is responsible for this issue.
Any suggestion are welcome.
Regards
