[Q] Change background wallpaper on Nova Launcher - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi..
Anyone know how to change the background wallpaper on Nova or any launcher for that matter. Any time I attempt to do it through external apps or a gallery app it fails.

+1....I have this question also. So far the only way I can get a new background is to use a 3rd party app.

Here's what I have found to change the wallpaper (for ADW Launcher EX) but I believe it should work for any launcher:
You need to have ES File Explorer, and Wallpaper Changer (both are free and available in Google Play)
Launch ES File Explorer
navigate to folder containing wallpaper
(image thumbnails are displayed) tap on an image
("Complete action using:" dialog should appear) tap on "ES Image Browser"
(image is displayed) tap on the handle to display softkeys
tap on "menu" button
tap on "Set Wallpaper"

I'm using kindle wallpaper change from the play store.

That worked, great. Thank you.
Wallpapers seem very pixelated though. Even though when viewing them through the gallery they are crisp

did not work
I tried that and did not work.... help??? thanks!

Download "Gallery ISC" from playstore.
Return on your launcher
Long press
Wallpaper
And choice Gallerie ICS for beatiful and full screen wallpaper
For live wallpaper :
Download LiveWallpapersPicker
Paste the apk in "/system/app/"
Wait 30s, return to your launcher
Long press
Wallpaper
And choice Live Wallpaper

LiveWallpaperPickers does not work
Live Wallpaper does not have a selection to choose a live wallpaper. Is there a certain version that will allow that?

[Q] How can set wallpaper for Appscreen

how can I change the appscreen wallpaper. It's black in default and I wonder if i can change it with a photo like in iOS 4.x.
Do you mean your wallpaper? Or the background for your app drawer? For the app drawer, it depends on your phone/rom or if you're using a home replacement.
For your home screen wallpaper, you should be able to hit menu from your home screen and select wallpaper from there. You can also go into your gallery, find the photo you want as your wallpaper, and press and hold on the photo for about a second. Select "Set as" or "Set as wallpaper" from the options shown.

[Q] Live wallpapers don't work because I am an idiot?

I can't get any live wallpapers to work. I'm 99% sure it's my fault.
Problem:
I download a live wallpaper (eg Multipicture Live Wallpaper) from the market. It downloads fine, and appears in my app drawer. However, when I try to select a wallpaper (longpress screen -> wallpapers), the only options I get are "Gallery" and "Wallpaper Gallery". There is no "Live Wallpapers" option.
Background:
I believe that my Note was the Netherlands version, came with some apps that I didn't want (Buddies Now, Digilezen, Samsung 3M widget, etc).
My Note is rooted, and I installed Titanium Backup. I did delete some of the things in this list, using Titanium Backup and an apk list that I found (forum won't let me post the link to the list as I haven't posted 8 times).
I didn't do a backup or backup anything I deleted (stupid, I know).
I suspect that I removed an apk that is required for getting Live Wallpapers to work.
As a test, I've tried installing an apk using Astro as well as ES File Explorer, (Buddies Now - I know I definitely removed this one) and neither program could install it.
Questions:
1) Can I re-install the apk that I removed?
2) Which apk is needed for Live Wallpapers?
3) If I can't install the apk using Astro or ES File Explorer, can someone recommend another method?
Thanks.
If you're trying to use a live wallpaper on the default launcher. you're doing it wrong.
Press the 'menu' button when on the desktop (thats the bottom left button on your device) then press 'Wallpaper' then 'Live wallpaper' It should appear there. Good luck
are you sure you didnt remove the livewallpapers apk?
I agreed with the above answers.
1. Recheck the "Live wallpapper" by: On the home screen, press hard menu key, sellect Wallpapper --> Live wallpapper -> Choose 1 suitable one.
2. If #1 not work, maybe you have uninstalled/disabled file "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk"
Try to find on web the file for Galaxy Note and test if it works, ex:

[Wallpaper] Oxygen OS 3 bootanimation as live wallpaper

Set oxygen OS bootanimation as live wallpaper. Tested on Redmi 4x. Should work on any Android phone.
This is the first time I'm sharing something. And I'm not a native English speaker. So, pardon me for any mistake.

GIF Live Wallpaper Setting. Sets GIF to live wallpaper
How to set:
Download the GIF file from this link: Oxygen OS 3 GIF file Google Drive link
Download this GIF Live wallpaper Setting App (Aka Simple Wallpaper) from play store This app needs internet connection to work but sets high resolution wallpaper.
OR
Download this app It works without internet connection but compresses the gif therefore sets low resolution wallpaper.
Open the Simple Wallpaper App and tap on the icon labeled as "GIF" (as the first screenshot below).
Then tap on the upper right corner of the GIF file you downloaded to select it and tap on the tic mark (as shown on the second screenshot). It's necessary to tap on the corner , not in the middle.
Now change the "speed" option from Default to "Max" and tap on the zoom out button to have a better view. ( I prefer taping 4 times) Then select the tic mark at the bottom-right corner and confirm by taping on "OK".
And the wallpaper is ready on your Home screen.
To use the other app that works without internet connection see the last screenshot
Screenshots are in this google drive folder

wallpaper option opens themes app

I can´t change my lockscreen now.
I´m not sure what I did, but now when I press the wallpaper option in settings, it only opens the themes app. It used to open a different menu where I could choose the wallpaper for the lockscreen or the homescreen.
