[RELEASE] [APP] Diamond/Pro Auto Background Changer

[APP] Diamond/Pro BackgroundChanger

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 (Now includes 650+ wallpapers)

  Code

  http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431849

• 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.

everything on your device has it's own little drain of its own from your battery and this only runs in the background when your screen is on and i doubt there is any substancial battery loss that could be noticed from it.

Seriously. That guy got me all confused.

[scott8813]

i believe that he is saying (and correct me if I'm wrong) that he chose to try and use a different file directory for the program to pull the wallpapers from and now can't find his way back to the default file directory containing the original wallpaper files.

[jnuts5423]

thats exactly it. I flashed and reinstalled, but that file kevin somethin or another doesnt work either. I downloaded the wallpapers file. how do i get that file in the directory. theres no drop down option like the time option. tried storagecard/wallpapers etc. cant figure this out.

Oh okay... that makes more sense...

Well I havent had a chance to try tis yet, But if you go to the settings tab in the touch flo 3d interface, on that menu is an option for wallpapers (to change them etc) click on that and it opens up a directory for your wallpapers folder...

[jnuts5423]

I understand that. But how do I make the application change the wallpapers every 30 seconds. i figure the line that says directory would allow me to put the file of wallpapers in it, but thats not the case. My question is how do i make the wallpapers and the application work together?

[jnuts5423]

I still cannot figure this out. I dont understand why im the only one having this problem or nobody is using this. I downloaded the app of wallpapers. How do i get them in the file directory? if you open the app it has two slots. wallpaper directory and a time slot for how often you want it to change. WITH A DROP DOWN BAR. the wallpaper line has no dropdown, no option to search for a file, nothing except for space to type. ?????

[meansixx]

you have to type it in yourself, for example if u have the wallpaper folder saved in ur phone storage in your My Documents just type in \My Documents\My Pictures\Wallpapers that is it and check the box that says to change wallpaper every and set it the way u want it, then tap on change now. thats what it did. and it works.

[jnuts5423]
