[Q] android 1.5/1.6 live wallpaper idea

[dreamwave]

This post is a question about the feasability of using prerendered live wallpapers on android 1.5/1.6, as they do not, in the stock version at least, currently support live wallpapers/backrounds.

This is just an idea, and I have no idea if it would work; but what if, instead of trying to actually render live wallpapers,
would it be possible to have an app that runs in the backround and just changes the wallpaper at a set interval to the next image in a folder on the sd card? The reason I'm posting this is because I don't have the knowledge or time to actually develop it; nor do I have the hardware that is needed to set up a productive environment for android development.

Does anyone who has viewed this have any knowledge of whether it is plausible? If it is, it would be great if someone were to develop it as an open source project/mod/possibly even an app.
