Wallpapyrus has following features:
1) Four wallpaper modes:
a) Normal mode with four styles:
1. iPhone - Wallpaper does not scroll just like iPhone and of course like many other phones.
2. iPhone with wallpaper switching - Wallpaper does not scroll with home screen but can switch after set duration, phone unlock or on double tap on home screen.
3. Android - Wallpaper scrolls with home screen like normal android wallpaper.
4. Android with wallpaper switching - Wallpaper scrolls and can switch after set duration, phone unlock or on double tap on home screen.
It's not that normal mode after all. What do you think?

b) Chain - Different wallpaper on each home screen. Either set individual wallpapers for each home screen or set folders as wallpaper source. Ultimate option for theming.

c) Collage - Collage of wallpapers. Brings the feeling of randomness and chaos on your wallpaper.



d) Animated wallpaper - the coolest of the lot - an animated slideshow of wallpapers. See it to believe it. Don't overuse it. Other modes are also entitled for the same respect.

e) 3D Effect like Deepend app of iPhone - turn phone to see effect

f) Use boot animations as live wallpaper. Just unzip boot animations in a folder and put that folder in sd-card. Choose that folder in app. If multiple folders are selected boot animations are shown at random.



2) Wallpaper layout modes (available in normal mode only):



i. fill screen
ii. fit screen
iii. fit height
iv. fit width
Now don't get limited in your choice.

3) Set folders in sd card for wallpapers. Multiple folders can be selected and sub-folders support is also available. Wallpapers are selected randomly. For Normal mode (iPhone and Android without switching) wallpapers can be set from gallery or file manager apps - just like with normal wallpapers. Use “set as wallpapyrus” instead of “set as wallpaper”.

4) Wallpapers switch either at set duration or on phone unlock. Double tap to change wallpapers is also available.
Its the best wallpaper changer / switcher in the market.

5) Get cool pics from Flickr and your friends’ Facebook pics right on wallpaper.

6) Show/hide date, icons for facebook and flickr pics on wallpaper for easy identification on wallpaper.

7) Filters for color, brightness, saturation and contrast. Wallpapers look the way you want them.


8) Wallpapyrus does not run in the background but only when the user is on launcher. It goes to sleep when the user opens an app or locks the phone. For example if you don’t use your phone for a day wallpapyrus would not run in background and kill your battery. So the effect on cpu and battery is very limited.

9) Memory usage depends on screen size – less memory usage for small screen phones like Samsung galaxy ace, htc wildfire etc. So no worries for low ram phones.

10) All these features are made easy to use and organise by "Settings Wizard" and help button on each page of the app. It could not be easier.




Of course, more is coming....
Finally its upto you to decide whether wallpapyrus is worthy of what it claims to be. Your feedback by way of emails is imperative for improvement of existing features and addition of new features. Use "Email developer" provided in the menu for easier communication. If your language is other than english just send mail in your language - developer will use google translate. So don't hesitate.

If you like the app, share app with your friends by using "Share app" option provided in the menu.

Things I am working on:
1) I have one little problem. Wallpapyrus has default wallpaper after reboot with text "Wallpapyrus". I have to set wallpaper again and again when I am rebooting. Can you look at it please? - Bugscze - solved
2) First, thanks for the app. Really impressive. I'm not sure if it would work with a Live Wallpaper implementation or not but I would love to see schedules for wallpaper switching. For example...set the app to use one folder for Monday during the day, and then switch to another folder for Monday evening. Another example would be to use one folder or image for weekday's and another folder or image for weekends. Pwall, a non Live Wallpaper app, has this functionality, but the image quality on AMOLED screen's isn't the best. - solarus2011 - I want to give you option to save each and every setting in a profile; not just folder - so its taking late.
3) This gray scale filter is really cool! Plz make more like sepia, rainbow, android green, orange sunrise, etc. I think that's makes this app very unique. - solved ;-) And don't forget an image quality option in, mhh, 3 steps? - Andrzej - - yet to be solved
4) Currently I can only select top level directories to display images from it. My images are all in subdirectories on my external SD card and there are also some directories among them I don't want to be displayed by Wallpapyrus - Karsten. - solved

Nice application, congratulations. Maybe you should think of another name as this one might be misleading as there is a DroidWall app in the market, which is well known.

A lot of enhancement since my last trial. But my personal opinion:

1. when double click and changing the wallpaper, there's an extra orange screen which is annoying. Its better to show the current wallpaper until the next is loaded and displayed
2. Could I hide the top left icon please?
3. bug? double click to change wallpaper. Notice the center position of the wallpaper. Then swipe to another page and the wallpaper will shift to right side a bit (Go launcher here)

Thanks.

1. the orange screen is to notify the user that double click is registered. Now i will change it to current wallpaper and show wallpaper change notification on the current wallpaper itself. Is that ok?

2. I will give option to hide icon in next update.

3. Is wallpaper scroll on in settings? kindly check.


You can ask for any customisations you want. I am always eager to hear from you.

I am looking into the problems.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
1. Since user will see the wallpaper changed after double click, its unnecessary to state the notification at all in my opinion (and its stated in setting screen already)
3. Maybe I stated not clear enough or happen on me only. First load a new wallpaper and note the center position. Swipe to another page and then swipe back to the original one. The noted location of the 'center' is shifted to right edge. This only happen on the newly loaded wallpaper for the first time.

All wallpapers are 960x480 in size for scrolling and launcher is Go Launcher Ex if these matter.

Thanks the good work so far

1. When i tested the app on a folder with 500 images, it took 1-2 secs to change wallpaper. So i provided the notification so that the user does not lose patience and double clicks unnecessarily.

2. you are dead right on the problem. thank you for pointing out. the problem occurs when you double click on a page other than the centre page. may be you have an even no of pages in your launcher. i am going to correct it soon.

App updated with requested changes:

2.0.1
- new Wallpaper layout mode - fill screen
- option to hide image-source-icon
- No orange screen while switching
- Now wallpaper loads with correct offset.
