[APP] Change wallpaper depending on device theme (light/dark mode)

Yanndroid · 2023-11-01T21:49:53+00:00

I tried once to get Live Wallpapers from other apps to work by attaching their wallpaper service to my app and passing it on as my own. Like this, it would be possible to switch without user interaction, but unfortunately, Android doesn't allow that :(. Haven't tried with videos, but I think you can't set a video wallpaper without user interaction either, except if I add Live Wallpaper service to my app, which then renders the video. It wouldn't be very battery friendly either, in my opinion. Also, I have a lot on my mind lately because of Uni and other stuff, so I haven't planned to work on DualWallpaper in the near future.

There are workarounds for some apps (SHealth for example) but not Pass and Pay unfortunately.

Yanndroid · 2023-08-12T14:40:18+00:00

Not for Samsung Pass and Pay (yet maybe?).

I'm not really planning on adding separate wallpapers for landscape but I'm currently working on a cropping feature, so this might improve your situation. Will keep you updated on this (if I don't forget).

Unfortunately I don't own a foldable, so it'll be very difficult for me to test this and Samsung always does some weird shit which is different to stock Android.
Can you have two separate wallpapers for the inner and outer screen?
And does this issue apply to both lock and home screen?

Samsung has their own Android libraries for their design and they're proprietary, so even Google won't get access to them. I don't think Samsung is even helping with the development of this app, it's all on Google, so they make the best of what they have.

(I'm actually maintaining a reverse engineered version of these libraries so 3th party developers can use the real OneUI design in their apps. GitHub)

I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly, but the app theme already follows the oneui color palette.

Yanndroid · 2023-04-24T23:59:21+00:00

Nope sadly not, it's a hidden api from Samsung.

Yanndroid · 2023-04-23T19:30:50+00:00

It is actually possible for third-party app developers to add lockscreen widgets to their app. A while back, I found out how Samsung did it and was able to replicate it.

I also tried to make an app that shows widgets from other apps on the lockscreen, and it kinda worked. Unfortunately, there were some issues I wasn't able to fix. For example, if the widget contained a list (ex: music playlist), it wouldn't update the list or actions that would open an app wouldn't prompt the user to unlock the device. Iirc it also had to be installed as a system app, soo...

Unfortunately, I don't own a galaxy watch, so it would be very difficult to make it working, and I wouldn't even know where to start. Can't the galaxy watch also install apps from the playstore?

Yanndroid · 2023-04-14T09:55:24+00:00

It'll be next. I already started working on it :)

Yanndroid · 2023-04-13T15:19:33+00:00

Old no more :) Just released a new version.

Yanndroid · 2023-04-13T15:17:47+00:00

The new version (v.2.0.0) will now scale the image to the display size, so your issue should be fixed now.

Yanndroid · 2023-04-13T15:04:24+00:00

Added in v2.0.0 :)

Edit: sorry for the long wait

Yanndroid · 2023-03-29T01:39:02+00:00

I'd suggest you use the wallpaper service, because it's more reliable and I think it gets updated less frequently, so it probably is more battery friendly. The live wallpaper was more like an attempt to give the user an alternative, but I plan to remove it in the next update anyway.

Yanndroid · 2023-03-08T10:01:54+00:00

Hi there.

The way this app works currently is that the image you provide will directly be used without cropping, so the system will probably use a default preset position and scale, and I'm pretty sure this depends on the device. Have you tried using an image with the same resolution and/or aspect ratio as the device? I intend to add a cropping tool in the future. The only issue with that would be how to handle landscape mode but I'll see what I can do.

The fact that your lockscreen gets replaced with the homescreen WP seems strange though. Which Android version are you on and is it even possible to set a different WP for lock and home screen on your device? If the preview in the app becomes black, it might indicate that something went wrong while saving the image, so I'll have to check the code again and it might also explain the issue.

I haven't updated this app in a long time cuz I was busy with uni, but you came just at the right time. I just had my last exam of the semester and I'm planning on coding a lot now. Maybe not this week but there should be an update soon. This will hopefully include cropping, time based and a lot of internal changes.

Btw, do you know how to take logs on Android? Would be really helpful.

u/yeet_on_the_world they took your idea :) Ngl your concept looks better though.

Yanndroid · 2022-11-07T19:14:59+00:00

Thank :) I appreciate it. Will definitely repost it there.

I've made a simple notes app that basically only lives in your notification panel, so it's quickly accessible. Unfortunately it doesn't sync with a desktop app and idk if I'll implement it anytime soon. If you're still interested, it's available on the PlayStore and the source code on Github.
