New in Custom Live Wallpaper Creator 4.0 (May 23, 2016)

  • CHANGES:
  • Add support for Video Live Wallpaper
  • Replace previous ANT build system with a Gradle based one
  • Update Android SDK to the latest version

New in Custom Live Wallpaper Creator 3.3 (Mar 4, 2016)

  • A new year with a new version of CLWC. In 3.3, all Live Wallpapers now correctly display when the screen is rotated, and you can even lock them to portrait/landscape orientation only. Plus some other changes.
  • So starting with the new big feature, all Live Wallpapers will now correctly display when the device is rotated and you can even lock the orientation so no matter how you rotate your device, the image will always display in the chosen orientation.
  • Shake LWP Orientation Feature Preview:
  • Each of the Live Wallpapers will have the following new options (except the Matrix Live Wallpaper as that will always auto-rotate):
  • Auto-rotate – as you rotate your device, the Live Wallpaper will be rescaled and rotated to match the orientation
  • Portrait only – as you rotate your device, the Live Wallpaper will not rotate and will remain in portrait view
  • Landscape only – as you rotate your device, the Live Wallpaper will not rotate and will remain in landscape view
  • On top of that, we’ve also cleaned up the Rotate Live Wallpaper so that the black borders which were previously visible as the image was rotated are now gone.
  • Before and after preview of the Rotate Live Wallpaper
  • Finally, we’ve also made the following changes:
  • Optimised Animated GIF & Shake Live Wallpaper’s battery efficiency
  • Fixed bug where setting a background image and then changing it to a colour would not clear the previously set image
  • Minor text tweaks
  • Under the hood tweaks and optimisations

New in Custom Live Wallpaper Creator 3.2 (Mar 4, 2016)

  • More options! We’ve listened to you and have added more options to help you better customise the Live Wallpapers.
  • First and foremost, you can now alter the speed of the Animated GIF Live Wallpaper, so you can speed it up or slow it down.
  • The first option determines how often a frame is drawn on screen, for example if set to 1000 (in milliseconds), it will draw a frame every second. If set to 0, it will draw as fast as possible (depends on how powerful your phone is).
  • The second option determines which frame to draw. As the GIF is treated as a video clip internally therefore it has a duration so setting this to 100 means that the frame at intervals, 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 … up until the end of the clip is rendered.

New in Custom Live Wallpaper Creator 3.1 (Mar 9, 2015)

  • Streamlined Live Wallpaper build process to no longer require calling a separate file to start the build
  • Improved support for detecting an existing installation of Java (both 32-bit or 64-bit) and if one cannot be found, we use the one part of CLWC itself
  • Optimised implementation of the Animated GIF Live Wallpaper for improved animation performance
  • Updated Live Wallpaper build success and error messages
  • Added missing “uses-feature” tag to the Live Wallpaper manifest file, this allows the Live Wallpaper to be correctly filtered in the Google Play Store

New in Custom Live Wallpaper Creator 3.0 (Oct 27, 2014)

  • The newly redesigned CLWC 3.0 is finally here! CLWC always lacked a good design and with this release we hope to address that with this.
  • But that’s not all, we have made a number of other changes:
  • Some users reported problems with the APK installer, so we’ve made some tweaks to it to make it even better
  • Some of the Live Wallpapers have been improved and are now more stable and much lighter on battery usage
  • A little message is now displayed when you hover your mouse over one the Live Wallpapers explaining what it is
  • Completely redesigned and reworked the Settings area
  • As requested by many users, you can now set a custom package name in the Settings area
  • Another popular request was to be able to use your own signing key, which you can now set in the Settings area
  • When selecting images, a preview is now displayed as you select them
  • Fixed the “Fit to screen” scaling option
  • You can now set a version number for the Live Wallpaper
  • You can now set the “Background” option to “none” (Will simply display a black background)
  • Fixed an issue with the Live Wallpaper failing to build if you had special characters in the description
  • Removed the user guide (we plan on expanding the online support section)
  • Java is now bundled in, so you don’t need to install that any more
  • Many more under-the-hood tweaks and optimisations
