Wallak is an open source android app wallpaper app. What makes this app special is the fact that you can easily change the source of the images and provide your own wallpaper source.
Wallak is a fork of the open source app Wally. Its name is also a variation of the original app name. In the Arabic language adding "ak" is like adding a possessive noun which makes Wallak mean "Your wall"!
In it's current state Wally gets its source of images from a Firebase backend which I have built. I have gathered a nice collection of HQ photos from around my small country Lebanon.
- Collection of high quality photos from Lebanon
- Easily save, share or set photo as wallpaper
- Automatic Daily wallpaper change feature
- Fast and efficient loading of images
Wally is a gradle project built with Android Studio 0.8.x. To get started, import the project in
Android Studio by choosing the build.gradle located in the root folder.
However, you might notice that it won't build right away. This is because you have to provide it
with/generate your own release- and debug keystore. The debug keystore can be generated the same
way as a release keystore. Put the release- and debug keystore files in a directory of your choice
and reference them in a local.properties file in the root folder of this project.
To change the image source and make Wallak read your own source you need to edit 1 Class only which
is the "CustomDataProvider" following the below path
wally\dataprovider\src\main\java\com\musenkishi\wally\dataprovider\CustomDataProvider.java
Each function in this class includes comments on how it should be changed.
You can check for example new_source_tutorial branch where a new image source is implemented. The work done on this branch is explained in the tutorial article found here.
Wally is divided into multiple modules; Models, Data Provider, and the main module Wally (UI). This architecture allows a project to more easily expand to other platforms (e.g. Android Wear or Android Auto).

Musenkishi for making the app open source. He did all the work. Wallak is just a small variation
