Arrow [GUIDE] Auto switching "Custom" Wallpapers

First:

Go to "HP App Catalog" and install "Switcharoo Lite" *FREE*

Start the app and make your preferred settings.


Description:

Switcharoo stores all wallpapers in

Code:
/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.orbsix.app.switcharootouchdemo/images/wallpapers/

There are no subfolders for each categories !

It just uses the name i.e. "abstract" to seperate them in the list.


abstract1.jpg
...
architecture1.jpg
...
animals1.jpg
...
art1.jpg
...
cutesy1.jpg
...
flowers1.jpg
...
funny1.jpg
...
nature1.jpg
...
space1.jpg
...
technology1.jpg
...
textures1.jpg
...
transportation1.jpg
...


There are exactly 5 different pictures for each category available.
But there isn`t any limitation ... you can add as many pictures as you want :)


i.e. abstract1.jpg,abstract2.jpg,abstract3.jpg ...

If you want to add a picture to show up in animals category, just add a picture named "animals1.jpg" to overwrite an existing
picture or "animals6.jpg" to add an additional picture.

In this way you can add your custom pictures to any category.


How to:

Turn Developer Mode on

Connect Touchpad via USB to PC

Start WebOS Quick install -> Tools -> Send File -> add your file for example "abstract33.jpg" -> copy path shown below in destination

Code:
/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.orbsix.app.switcharootouchdemo/images/wallpapers/

That`s it !

Have Phun ;)

Thanks for this. wish there was a quick way of uploading the photos though.

Edit: nevermind. Installing Internalz and using it to copy/paste files more rapidly

It's quite painful to rename the files one by one, but it gets the job done :D

Still hoping for an application which can directly select folders of our own pictures as I have too many pictures I want to show in this nice display.
