Feature Request: Animated GIF wallpaper support #113
Comments
I am not sure if it is possible, the app might be too slow for a smooth animation. I will check when I have some time. |
I did a quick test and it seems to work smoothly on my phone. Did you already have specific GIF wallpapers in mind? If so, could you upload them here or send them to me (cuzi-android@openmail.cc)? I would try to create a test .apk with the GIFs included. The whole graphical interface of the app is currently made for handling static images (i.e. bitmaps), so it will be a lot of work to add support for selecting a GIF from the gallery. I don't want to do that before I am sure it really works smoothly. Adding the GIF directly to the .apk for testing should be quick and easy. |

That's good 😂 I wonder how it affects battery life though, but that's hard to measure. And I never used a animated wallpaper before, so I don't know how they usually affect battery life. |
I've been wondering about the battery too. I don't have any tools to measure that, sadly. Doesn't seem to have a major impact on the battery so far |
It is now released in the normal version on F-Droid and Google Play. I looked at the battery usage over 48h on my phone: In the debug version, with your GIF on home-screen and another GIF on the lock-screen. The app now appears in my Android settings in the battery usage list. It is listed as |
Hello :)
As it is in the current F-Droid "1.4.11 (43)" release, you can load a GIF image as a wallpaper, but sadly it doesn't animate. Is it easy to implement? If it's viable I would like to request it 🙂
