When I set new wallpaper, it lasts only until the next sleep. On waking, the default ADW sequence of wallpapers resumes. I can re-select the wallpaper and it will again persist again until the device sleeps.

I've tried:

  • Locking the desktop - doesn't lock the wallpaper.
  • Upgrading to v 1.3.3.56 - same behavior
  • Restarting ADW after setting the wallpaper - the wallpaper persists, but still only until a sleep.

How can I make it stick?

ADW.launcher EX 1.3.3.1
Kindle Fire 6.3.1, not rooted
Android 2.3

  • Are you using ADW presets?

  • No, at least I haven't intentionally invoked any. Are you suggesting them as the possible cause or a possible solution (and how)?

  • I guessed it as possible cause.

It appears that Kindle Fire is designed to restore its wallpaper on every wake, and that to prevent it, you have to have rooted the KF, and use a file manager to remove the system's write permission from the new wallpaper file. See this article on xda-developers forum.

I just found this free app, My Kindle Wallpaper which does this simply and easily, no root required. D/l & install it, and point it at a photo or a folder full (on the KF, not on the net), and get your favorite background photo or cycle through several (one per wake-up, the way the stock software does). Works perfectly on my original KF with KF v6.3.1.
