Do you think we will be able to add our own live (or dynamic) wallpapers to iOS 7? Its been a question thats been haunting me since Beta 1 release.
Got a tip for us?

Didnt Tim Cook say they were going to open up more iOS at at D11? Probably he was referring to something else.
I wonder if we will see a dynamic wallpaper for sale like they sell ringtones? Sony sells dynamic wallpaper for the PS3.
I think Yes, Dynamic Wallpapers could lead way to an iOS type "Theme" Store section in the AppStore. We still do not know what format Apple used for the Dynamic Wallpaper, it doesn't seem to drain the battery, and we have yet to see these on OS X just yet either
And two of them are kind of the same. just different colors

I mean you know how awesome it would be if we can install our own live wallpapers. Shoot I want Phase Beam Live on my iPhone. It would look great!
The panoramic wallpaper option still needs a little work. It pans too quickly when you move your phone around.
where are you getting the wallpaper from? I'm choosing a panoramic picture I took with the phone's camera.
Even with Parallax turned off the panoramic wallpapers still pan.
There is only 1 way to set a pano wallpaper. You have to go to settings app, choose Wallpaper, Scroll down to the section called 'My Panoramas'.
There.
If you go to your photos app and open 'My Panoramas' and click the button to make it a wallpaper, all you will get is the paralax effect.
thanks! works great! can I use others pictures or does it only work when I take picture myself?
Its works for most panoramas you find. However there are some which may have glitches. (ie the panorama will show up on only half the screen). Right now its hit or miss you just have to try them and see what works.
I hope so! Although I'm not sure it won't be impossible for third party apps to make these dynamic wallpapers themselves. Maybe dynamic wallpaper apps will pop up in addition to the normal wallpaper apps.
