Paperize

Releases

• Sep 26, 2026 4.2.0
  Paperize 4.2.0 improves wallpaper reliability, album management, and live rendering. - More reliable imports and folder refreshes, with cancellation, progress, and failure feedback. Temporary provider outages no longer remove library entries. - Consistent home and lock schedules across restarts and manual changes. Rapid settings edits preserve the latest album selection and pause state. - Better static wallpaper sizing and FIT/STRETCH rendering. - Smoother live wallpaper transitions, correct pending-image handling during fold/unfold, and improved OpenGL cleanup and memory use. - Improved sorting, album deletion, accessibility, and animation preferences. - Data-preserving upgrades for older library databases and a simpler internal architecture. Install the attached signed APK to update Paperize.

  ## v4.1.1 - Fixed manual changes triggering an immediate extra automatic change by deferring the next run for the full interval and preserving it across settings updates. - Added Simplified Chinese translations for setup, settings, wallpaper controls, notifications, and accessibility labels, with Android app-language support. - Corrected the privacy notice to explain that Paperize displays its own notifications and does not read notifications from other apps. ## New Contributors

  ## v4.1.0 - Added a Set wallpaper action to image previews, with separate home, lock, and combined home-and-lock targets that preserve each screen's scaling and effects. - Reset the affected automatic countdown after a successful manual change from Paperize, its launcher shortcut, or its Quick Settings tile. - Added live-wallpaper intervals as short as one minute while the wallpaper is visible, with lifecycle-aware pausing and timer resets after manual changes. - Replaced the undersized status-bar asset with a dedicated notification icon. - Updated Paperize for the Android 17 SDK and refreshed Kotlin, Gradle, Compose,

• Aug 7, 2026 4.0.3
  ## v4.0.3 - Kept scheduled static changes in the device's natural orientation, even when a landscape game or app is in the foreground. - Rendered FIT, FILL, STRETCH, and NONE against one physical display panel to fix black canvases, excessive stretching, zoom, and inconsistent home/lock alignment. - Restored centered static FILL behavior by default and added an explicit horizontal scrolling option for users who want wide wallpapers to move across home pages. - Added a persistent pause/resume control that keeps selected albums intact, while leaving manual static and live wallpaper changes available when paused.

  - Removed the unnecessary network-state permission and unused network image loader. - Updated Hilt and the coroutine test library and expanded rotation, scaling, scrolling, pause/resume, static-effect, live-renderer, and scheduler verification. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/Anthonyy232/Paperize/compare/v4.0.2...v4.0.3
• Jul 30, 2026 4.0.2
  ## v4.0.2 - Reloaded the current live wallpaper at native resolution after fold, unfold, surface-size, and scaling changes without advancing the wallpaper queue. - Made adaptive brightness update the wallpaper already on screen and removed the brightness dip that could occur halfway through live crossfades. - Kept live vignette shading continuous across large images split into multiple GPU texture tiles. - Prevented a delayed effect-slider save from overwriting a switch or other setting changed immediately afterward.

  - Restored the launcher app shortcut for gesture apps and other launchers, with automatic routing to the configured static or live wallpaper engine. - Added the missing daily album refresh to live schedules and hardened boot recovery so valid jobs are restored without duplicates and stale jobs are removed. - Removed two unused legacy serialization and document-file dependencies from the release package. - Expanded device coverage for every static effect and verified synchronized, independent, manual, live, and reboot scheduling paths. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/Anthonyy232/Paperize/compare/v4.0.1...v4.0.2

  ## What's Changed * This is a complete rewrite of the app. Most features have been carried over, some have been removed, and some have been added. * I have added support for live wallpaper mode but it is quite experimental right now. * There will probably be a lot of bugs, hence I am marking this an alpha per-release, but do try it out and report any bugs (otherwise they won't be found!) * All settings and configurations have been completely wiped and reset. If you encounter a crash when starting the app, please try to reset the cache and app data and reinstall (if updated from another version) and let me know. NOTE: There WILL be bugs. Please report them! NOTE: Only English right now, localization will be added back later.
