Default [Q] Change Kindle Fire Wallpaper

I already tried modifying the permissions of the file located at "data/data/com.android.settings/files" to :
. Owner : Read, - , -
. User : Read, - , -
. Others: -,-,-
The problem is that, i can't event SET a new wallpaper to it.
I tried to give me full permissions so that i can set a new one, and them, change the permissions to avoid the stock change, but i can't manage to make it work.

Any idea of what i am doing wrong ?

I've tried this, and i realized that only a few images actually "work" as wallpaper, the other ones just get ignored and the wallpaper picker doesn't allows me to select them as a wallpaper.

I click on them, and the picker prompts me again to choose an image, with no error message.

Do i have to make them "fit" the screen so i can select them or any resolution will work ?

make the file permissions writable and change the wallpaper. then go back to data\data\com.android.settings\files\wallpaper and remove the write permissions. your wallpaper will not change at that point.

Default Fun with wallpapers

So any idea what app or apk or daemon is changing this wallpaper all the time / is there something we can modify so it will work as expected? I think I'm going to have a hard time trying to convey to people that they need to change file permissions just to KEEP a wallpaper.

Someone mentioned in another thread that the framework.apk handled this, just not sure on the technical aspects of that.
