-
Install and set as your live wallpaper.
-
Double tap a blank spot on your home screen to load a different random background (behavior is configurable in the settings).
-
Check out the background chooser (accessible via the settings) to make a custom background playlist!
-
Click on a thumbnail once to preview it. Click it two or more times to check/uncheck it.
-
Every background that you check will be included in a custom wallpaper "playlist."
-
If you only want a single background to display, clear all the checks, and recheck the one you like.
-
The "Select All" and "Clear All" methods are included (press your menu button or check the action bar) for your convenience. :)
