MY|WEATHER animated icons contest

I'm glad I can announce that I just realized my new Today Screen's plugin: MY|WEATHER.
Read below: you can get it for free.
My program shows you:
- current weather conditions for any point on the Earth (thx to weather.com service of course)
- forecast prognoze for the upcoming week
- histograms of changes, temperatures, winds, humidities
- satellite preview of clouds moving in the animated sequence of the last 10 pictures (thx to bbc.co.uk service) Europe or USA views only
In many styles and display types. To change display content tap-and-move down or up over the plugin's screen. Or only tap to switch to another screen. More: you can turn on/off borders, backgrounds, bars.
You can even use "one-line" mimized style, to save the space of your Today Screen. In this line you will see only temperature, humidity, wind speed and a small icon to open satellite preview on the top of the screen for a moment.
On any Pocket PC Phone Edition, where you set GPRS or BT connection to the Internet, all weather data update automatically in the specified period. You decide how often you want to update (and how much pay for connection). A full update requests around 5kB for weather conditions and 15-25kB for every sat.image - but you can decide how many sat.images you want to use: from 1 (last available image) up to 10.

I open the contest to authors of animated icons. I give the fully-features licence of MY|WEATHER and all next updates for free,
to everyone who makes and provides a set of animated weather icons.
The set should cover all 51 icons for weather conditions (as it is know from weather.com service) and, at least! 10 animated icons inside.
Descriptions:
MY|WEATHER uses as animated icons the following files:
- image in .png format
- any number of colours
- any size of frame (but 50x50 is preffered because optimization)
- all 10 frames should be put in one row
- all frames have to be in the same size
- eventually transparent color is 255,0,255
- the name should be compared to one of static icon
- alpha blendiong is not supported now, but will be in the future
- used images must be copyrights free

Whether it works with PDA2K? Any of your programs does not work with PDA2K correctly.

specialy, MY|PHONE PROFILES (Lite) i bought it but it coz doing hardrest WTF. do u name this a software or Virus?? :evil:
befor u release any **** make sure that **** is work fine in ur XDA2 in addition dont say that **** works at -Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition- (LandScape Version) while u develope it in dummy rotate screen BASE.
i'm angry coz of ur ****s MY|**** MY|**** MY|**** :evil:
if u feel sorry of what u'v done go and make UPGRADE (FIXES) ASAP
or ReBack Our Money

No working
I just try this software for my MDA II OS WM 2003 SE and have some comments as the followings
1. To slow restart device
2. Bug- hanging when search local place
3. Incompatible, I have to remove late on
:twisted:

JGUI's software ideas are actually quite good, it's just that in practice they aren't very good when made into the final program.
Very often I've installed various JGUI today plugins only to find they cause soft resets and then when I try to uninstall them, it says it cannot find such and such a file...and this is just in Windows, never mind Pocket PC.
I have WeatherPanel on my today screen and never had an issue with it, bought it for that very reason.
Cheers

hey, JGUI, I would still love if you merged the current MY|CALENDAR with MY|PHONE and instead of Zodiac sign and population of earth (which I don't really care about) found in the MY|CALENDAR plugin, add signal strength and Network, as found in MY|PHONE. If you were to do that that would make one convenient and very useful plugin. I like the big display of the time and the calendar of MY|CALENDAR, but if you remove the zodiac and the earth population option, makes a empty space, that on the today screen is very vital.
Something like this (of course add shadows to the cellulat part also)

Still all this would work

sure
Yorch,
Finally it should be!
Right after I will finish MY|PLANS and MY|ACTIONS.
Still I wonder how to use the small size of screen to get all requested information at once. and the size will smaller... in the upcoming newest HP6500
Many/multiplied screens for today view, like spb plus or dashboard are not solution. Personally I don't want to make any action to change the view because I have to see something another. I want to view all at once. In just one blink of eye.
I play with many ideas.
BTW: the version with satellites previews is almost finished, just let me 2-3 more days for deeper tests.

I personally love My|SMS Messages.
However, i keep having problem auto refreshing when i receive message.
Sometimes, it does not refresh when i need to open certain programs to over write Today Screen, then My|SMS Messages will display.
Probably is my device got problem, however, very long ago, i did try out your older version on my older PDA, it still have the refreshing error.
FYI only.

NOTE:
your MY|Phone Profile Lite still not upgrade it yet (v1.0). all peoples tried it said that it suck because it hang the device when thay do softreset, so thay need to do hardreset to fix the problem. however, thay think your (MY|Phone Profile Lite) need to upgrade it. and thay need a support from jgui company. thay are human thay have a feel thay have paid.

not quite
I'm sorry but this is not a true what you said.
I have customers with XDAII, they use MY|PHONE PROFILES LITE without problems.
Alhought I understand I have to make more fixes to be compatible with this device more.
I'm very sorry about you problems. Maybe you use another program which touch settings of phone features. Maybe you should try to not use some specified features: like services on/off. Or maybe do not use ring sounds from external card? The Lite version hac no notification on-fly features. It just change resitry settings when you change Profile. Nothing more until you change it again.
I hope the next version will be more stable in XDAII.
Will be soon.

Cant get this to function
I really like the idea this of this plug-in. :lol:
but I cannot get it to work on my XDA II,
it will not complete the localisation even with PIE running in the background. :?
Is this my fault or is there some way I can get this to function.
:?
I spend a lot of time outside and some forewarning would be very very useful.

[Alt Design UI Concept] Pandora //updated 3-18

Here is the first in what will hopefully be a small project I am undertaking to improve some android app layouts and keep up on my graphics chops while I search for a new design gig. If people like this I will do some others and continue to post them here. Enjoy.
-Travis
The Issue:
This concept UI assumes that most Pandora users run the program in the background while they browse the web and take care of other business, which may or may not be true. I personally use Pandora often in the car and while commuting (or used to, haha awww). One thing that struck me about the app was it was almost as if the designers ignored many decisions that could have made it more user friendly.
Why would a designer place a row of buttons on the bottom of the screen that were small and hard to see at a glance (while driving, etc.), and could possibly be mistaken for the actual built in virtual keys on the N1 and other new phones? I also am somewhat confused by the placement of the album artwork as the most prominent design element, which I doubt anyone really looks at for more than 3 - 4 seconds.
Generally I thought the usability could be cranked up about 1000% by simple things like making buttons larger, and placing them far more strategically in the middle of the screen, replacing the less important artwork. In this version, artwork is in the background, blurred to give a more interesting texture than the normal black and adding a layer of depth to the UI.
Most of the button functions stay the same, with the addition of the bookmark song button. Action buttons (Play & Next) are larger, and set on opposite sides of the screen for muscle memory.
Song title and artist title have been changed to a larger size to be more legible at a glance. Hopefully this facilitates finding the song title you are listening to quickly, then with the other improved elements, just as quickly being able to rate it, play the next track, change stations, or bookmark the song.
Overall I think this would be a much more friendly interaction than the current version, especially for the listener on the go. Leave the love or hate below!

Yep, not all of us are blessed with dainty digits, and i found myself button mashing quite a bit...
Another thing I was thinking about was the addition of a status bar notification with button built right into the notification bar, so no need to hit the bar then jump to the program when you're in the middle of doing something else. I'll try to mock that up and add it to the OG post when its done.

i immediately thought of the new windows phone 7 design when i saw this. which is to say, lovely. secondly i have to wonder if maybe you should take this a step further in your effort to minimize the unnecessary elements and do away with the album art altogether. it struck me that if the cover behind it was too white or light in general it might make the keys too hard to see. instead take another key from the wp7 design and make them large white buttons on top of eye-pleasing color swaths like cerulean, a soft orange or red, hell maybe even randomize the colors.
anyways, i really love this idea and lament the state of graphic design in android, especially in contrast to that "i" device. we're getting the snot kicked out of us in that front.
hope to see this come to fruition.

Yeah, I can see where is resembles the WP7S start screen with the squares and light typeface...I tried to make sure I wasnt ripping off their media UI unintentionally, as I havent really seen too much of the 7 series stuff yet. Just seemed like the button scheme would lend itself well to a media player...hope its not too close, hahaha.
When I was laying this out, I had thought about making the entire scheme just black icons outlined in white to save battery power and dumping the artwork totally. Might comp a version like that out and add it to OP if I get some time today.

While I like the minimalistic big button approach I think that from a marketing view there needs to be some album art and or ad space on the screen. This interface works for a simple media player.

Theres ad space built into the bottom. Just like it is now on the real thing afaik. The G ad is a fake.

is it possible to build something like that into the notification panel? like is it possible at all? cause that would be nice...always felt that there should be some sort of task switcher built into the notification panel...one that can be switched left or right, and a long press gives a prompt to end the task.

Views
I think this is a great idea, and easily implemented too. All the developer has to do is to add another view to their app, and allow a radio button choice in the preferences. The majority of the work is done in the initial view that was setup. In the preferences there could be a Standard interface, and a selector for a Distracted or Disabled or Fat Fingered (call it what you want) interface, which redraws the screen to be better used in another environment. I don't use Pandora, and as such don't have the app installed, but, could someone link this thread into the comments for the developer? Possibly they will get to work on it for the next version.
Regarding the Notification area having separate buttons, I am not sure, but I don't think the current OS Stack can handle that, though its an innovative target to shoot for in the future. Maybe someone better patent "a method of adding interactivity to notifications" so that it isn't usurped and forbidden even though this post would relegate it to obvious status.

I actually emailed this thread to the dev. I got a polite message back, but they didnt seem very interested in the idea. But they are big players, and I am only one guy with opinions so that understandable.

betatesters wanted :)

Hi, I have created a simple app that visualizes your SMS inbox as a cloud of words (size based on word usage) - currently I seek for few users with 2.2 device for beta tests. Please check Visual Words at Market (free) and report your experiences in this thread. Thanks for help!
PS. The app may behave strange depending on your SMS inbox size and content - if you see blank black screen only please try clicking the screen to change visualization settings (check on the app webpage for details).

Only Froyo is supported? Sounds like a fun app to toy with a little.

Niice idea , yeah i'll beta test if you want't

ill beta test too if you want. angeldelaguarda [at] gmail(dot)com

I installed and played around with the app. It has some entertaining possibilities. Some things I noticed..
(Nexus one running rooted eViL 1.15)
-Words are tiny.
Suggestion: Show words that are used the most, maybe even bigger words based on how often they occur. (Doesn't seem to do that at this point.)
-Some times it includes the (1/3) (2/3) parts of the messages.
Suggestion: I'm not really a fan, perhaps removing them would bring a little more polish. Not a really a big deal though.
-Words do not fill the screen.
Suggestion: I have over 400 text messages but it only fills just the corners of the screens. There is a HUGE black area in the middle thats not doing anything, would be nice to try and fill the screen as much as possible.
I'm still playing with it, I'll let you know if I come across anything else.
Some screen captures:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanks for the test - I am quite surprised that all words seem to have exactly same font size ... I think/hope that changing the scale to logarithmical in options and clicking then when it displays the screen touch it according to the instructions below should help:
* Top left will decrease the number of words while top right will increase it (starting at 500, increase by 20%, decrease by 10%, 5 words minimum).
* Bottom left will decrease the font range, bottom right will increase it (starting from 10pt to 60pt, increase by 20% decrease by 10%, 6pt to 36pt minimum).
* Center Left will decrease the logarithmical scale, Center Right will increase it (making the “scale curve” more steep). It requires plenty of clicks - changes are relatively slow at the beginning (increase with each click though).
please check by clicking - increase word count few times (upper right corner) and increase font size few times (bottom right corner).
thanks for the comments on (1/x) - I have a list of words being removed will add few of these.
For all others willing to test - the app is in the market - look for "Visual Words" - feedback is highly appreciated - make sure to touch the screen to change the settings.

Increased and decreased font size, and pretty much messed with UI to get it to break, everything seems like its working as intended.
(This was what I was expecting with the first image of words.)

Thanks for the effort on testing - I will surely look into what can be done to have the right scale from the very beginning. (not very simple as the inboxes across the globe will vary significantly)
Second point on my todo list is giving the user ability to fliter words (I do have a small "filter list" but looking at your screenshot I see much more, and it actually will be language dependent) ...
Third will be the sender filter I think.
Thanks again and I hope you had fun playing with it.
PS. posting a comment on Market that it actually works will help to countermeasure the comment I got from initial version where there was no option to scale via user interface...

Added a comment to the market, also marked the other as unhelpful since it's no longer valid.
Keep it up

Seems to work as intended. I must be thick, but I don't understand what it does...I mean, I do...but I don't see how this is going to benefit me.

I'd love to give this a test, how can I get hold of it? PM me if possible.

This concept seems like a good idea for a livewallpaper. Ill beta in a minute downloading now (if it's not gonna work on any phone it wont work on mine) and post a logcat if applicable.
Edit: Works well on HTC Dream with modified lcd density, added review and marked unhelpful one as such.

That would be pretty nice actually, just change the background when a new text message is received... humm...

Once I fiddled with the corner touching I was able to get a nice picture.
My suggestions:
Auto detect screen size and render at an appropriate size by default.
Provide an OSD with buttons for the adjustments (similar to zoom on stock browser)
Default to logarithmic scaling.
Provide a spinner to let us know the application is doing something.
Run the calculation in a background thread as to not block the UI and possible cause a Force Close prompt.
Ran it on some friends phones with equally awesome results. All that's needed is general UI polish and you'll have a really clever application.

what does this do?
I am down for beta testing but aside from guessing it has something to do with txt messages I have no idea what this app does...can someone explain?

Sure, I'll do my best.
Visual Words reads the words from the SMS messages on your phone and places them on the screen in no particular order. When you touch the center of the screen a different set of random words will fill the screen. Press in the bottom left corner and the words shrink, bottom right, and they get bigger. (Some words are bigger then others when they are used more frequently, so over time, you could be able to see which words you favor in your text vocabulary.)
This application is merely entertainment, just more of a artsy kind of entertainment. This isn't something that is going to do your math homework for you, or complete your project deadlines.
But at this point, who knows where playground is going to go with this, the code itself has to be pretty interesting if nothing else.

Thanks that was a very good description of the app. I think seesmic was doing something similar to this in their pc client for twitter.
So is this an app that you open and then it has those effects or does it run in the background and you have words floating around your screen all the time or does it just pop up when ever you get a txt message...how does it work?

I like it
I wonder how big the word viagra would be if it worked on email.

i would like to be a beta tester for your application it looks really amazing.

Right now it's only when you run the application do you get to play around with / look at the words.

!!! NOW FREE IN THE MARKET !!!​
This is a LiveWallpaper app based on the Nexus LiveWallpaper from Google, but with full controls over everything you can imagine giving you full control over this wallpaper without the need of a themer or developer to modify it for you.
This is an FAQ/Instruction type post which outlines the capabilities and controls of Pl3x Wallpaper 4.x
Why would I stop charging for this app and give it out for free? I've learned that people love free things, and are more apt to try my works if I offer them for free. Later down the road, when I publish more apps I might throw a paid app back out there.
Now on to the good stuff! How to work this thing!
The Wallpaper Items:
There are 3 main parts to this wallpaper, the images. We'll cover those first, as the rest of the controls dont mean squat unless you pick these images wisely.
The Background Image
This one is quite obvious. Its the actual wallpaper of this application, and is automatically resized to 854x960 for you (will upscale/downscale from there for different devices automatically), so you can feel free to use images from your Camera's save folder. If you use an image that is not in this 854x960 aspect ratio (8:9) it will automatically be stretched and skewed to fit. (better ratio/size controls will be introduced in v5)
The Sprite Image
The Sprite is the "square dot" on the Nexus LWP, or the Circle 3 in the above left screenshot. It is a small image, at only 64x64. You can use larger images if you want, they will be automatically resized to 64x64 for you. Just be careful of stretching/skewing!
This image is very special, as its not used straight up as you might expect. Google uses their private API named RenderScript to modify this image heavily, giving it a "glow" effect of a light. In that regard, it acts just like an actual light. White would be the brightest of all colors, while black is technically no light at all so it doesnt show up at all (black is transparent). Darker colors are effected by this too, as they appear to be more "See through" or "opague" than brighter colors because of this rendering effect. I have tried many times and many different ways to disable this effect so we can use black as a Sprite color, but sadly I keep failing. As I progress in this project, I continue to dissect Google's RenderScript API (which is not documented at all) looking for a way to allow dark/black colors.
The Trail Image
This image is the long trailing color behind the sprite that slowly appears to fade out to nothing. This is also a fairly small image, but it is NOT in the size you would expect. It is 128x128 and a simple gradient FG->Transparent. I usually dont change this image, and dont recommend changing it either, but I hate limiting people on their controls, so I have included it in this app.
The coloring of the trail is the same color as its sprite it is attached too, and also goes under the same RenderScript effects as the sprite.
The length (or size) of the trail can be adjusted, shorter or longer. The width can also be adjusted smaller or wider. However, its not as simple as it sounds. The two are somehow tied very closely together, and I havent looked into the equation to figure it out yet. Play with the settings until you find what suits you best.
The Controls:
Selecting an Image
Selecting an image is really simple. Just click on Background/Sprite/Trail at the top of the main screen to open the Image Selector screen.
Here you will see a list of folders to visually navigate through. Clicking on folders will open them, pressing the back button or "[parent folder]" will go back a folder. Pressing back on the root (/) directory will close the Image Selector screen and return you to the main screen.
If a folder contains any images, they will be presented to you at the bottom of your screen in a Gallery View. Scroll/Flick through this Gallery to select your image. The Gallery populates itself and caches thumbnails to your SDCard. You can clear the cache at any time, instructions for that are down towards the bottom of this post.
The Image Confirmation screen will show you a small, resized (if larger than screen) preview of the image you just clicked on. Click the Set button to set this and go back to the main screen. Click Cancel to go back to the Image Selector screen to pick another image file.
The Color Controls
There are 4 colors that can be adjusted to anything you want. Have them all the same, or all different. Its up to you. All 16.7 million colors are available to you.
There is a row of 4 large, colored dots. Click on one to bring up a color wheel. Drag your finger around the wheel until the center dot displays the color that you want. Or you can type in the Hex # if you want. Click that center dot to set that color. Do the same for all 4 colors.
Number of Sprites
This allows you to set how many free floating Sprites there are on the screen.
Max Number of Sprites on Tap
When you Tap on the screen (not in preview mode) 4 Sprites shoot out in all directions from where your finger is. You can have so many Extra Sprites on the screen at any given time. The default is 20, so after 5 quick taps it stops drawing extra Sprites until the previous ones disappear offscreen. Raise this to raise that limit.
Speed
This is the set speed of how fast the Sprites are moving across the screen.
Speed Variance
Notice not all Sprites move at the same speed, some slower, some faster. This setting controls that. It is a Variance control, meaning it goes both high and low of the set speed. If speed is 5, and variance is 2, then your sprites will randomly be set at speeds between 3 and 7.
Max Redraw Offscreen Delay
This is how long the Sprites stay "alive" while offscreen before they are redrawn.
Trail Length
This is the trail's length control.
Trail Width
This is the trail's width control.
Allow Tap
You can allow the Tap that was mentioned previously or not. Jus tuncheck this and taps ont he screen will no longer draw extra Sprites.
Menu Button Controls
The following settings are found by pressing your device's Menu button.
Color Schemes
I have included the standard color schemes that can be found in CM's Nexus LWP mod, plus a few more (more will be added with each version). These are a named set of 4 colors, predefined in the app. Select one from the list, and the colors will automatically be set on the main screen. You can then decide to use these colors, or modify them with the above mentioned Color Controls.
Load Defaults
This will simply unset any custom images you have set, and restore all slider/checkbox values to their default preset values.
Clear Cache
This clears the Gallery View images from the cache located on the SDCard
------------------
If you have any issues at all with this wallpaper app, please report the bug to me in PM, and as a temporary fix try clearing the Pl3x Wallpaper data.
*Currently this app is ONLY for Froyo HDPI devices. IF you cant find it in the Market, then your device is most likely not supported.

updated for v4 paid

Here are a few Sprite images I've put together for ya'll to use (remember, black is transparent )

And here is a custom trail to get your imagination juices flowing

Updated for FREE version.
I've downgraded the paid version to free!

[APP][ROOT[4.4+] Color Changer: Recolor screen and set gamma

Color Changer adjusts the screen color in all apps. Needs root, of course.
Free version: Google Play.
Pro version: Google Play.
Free(!) pro version 1.12 for Android 4.4-5.1 only: sideload.
The free version lets you change the screen to red on black or to green on black, as well as to invert the screen (either in regular colors, or in green or red mode). This is nice for maintaining dark adaptation. The free version also includes color blindness support modes (you already have them if you have Lollipop, but they might be useful for colorblind Kitkat users) and gamma adjustment.
You can also have a widget for changing colors and it includes a Tasker plugin.
The Pro version gives a bunch more pre-set color themes (black and white, amber, sepia, mono sepia, no blue), as well as custom color settings (R/G/B/saturation), and quick color changes via the notification area.
Color Changer may slow down games by about 20% (exactly to the same extent that the stock Lollipop color reverse and colorblindness settings do), but seems compatible with all apps I've tried, with the exception of Chainfire's CF.Lumen (which does similar things but installs a persistent driver; CF.Lumen works faster with games, but for my purposes I prefer ColorChanger's interface).
Color Changer is a successor to my GalacticNight app which did mostly the same thing, but GalacticNight was only for some Galaxy phones and without the custom settings.
Do not turn on the "start on boot" option until you've tested the app thoroughly.

Hi..it's a great app..just tried your beta version..it works well. I am yet to find a serious bug.
I have tried Tasker action as per your instruction ..it works well except for the minor aspect that every time I enter or exit an app that has color change tagged, app screen of "color Changer is flashing before the launch of actual app.
For example...if have put an action to change screen to "BW" when I launch flibboard. Now when I launch flibboard from home screen instead of opening the app directly, I am getting a flash of color chnager app screen.
Possible to fix? Thanks again for this nice app..

The way I'm implementing Tasker integration right now is by launching ColorChanger, and, yes, that results in a flash of the app screen. I think that the way to get around this is for me to write a proper Tasker plugin. I haven't done that before, so I don't know exactly how easy it is. I am not sure I'll get around to this before the initial release, though I do really like the idea of doing this eventually. Thanks for the report.
p.s. When reporting issues, please tell me if you're using 4.4 or 5.x. ColorChanger works very differently on the two operating systems.

I now included a full-blown Tasker plugin. If you use that instead of the old method, you will avoid flashing the app screen. (On 4.4.x, you will still get a flash of weird color, as in every Color Changer change, because of how the app works.)

Thank you for fixing it so fast! I am still staying on kitkat so may be I can't use your new plug in yet..but it's okay ..it's very manageable
I am finding your app very useful ..as I read a lot on my phone, this is helping me to save battery and easy on eyes..

To clarify: The plugin does work on Kitkat. It's just that on Kitkat, whenever you change color there are two color changes with a short pause between them.

Yup..yup..I got it..I am using it on kk..I am just saying that flash of color Changer is okay to manage ..
On a separate note..didn't find any other bug so far on kitkat ..

I've officially released 1.00 on Google Play.

How much interest would there be in gamma adjustment? It might not be dynamic: it might just be a single setting per boot.

The gamma setting facilities are current available in the pre-release beta here. Press the Settings icon in the app to access them.
Lowering gamma to 1.8 or so may help some devices with black crush problems (near-black colors disappearing).

nice

I've updated the beta test version that sets gamma to fix various bugs.

something like battery saver.

You mean like the Samsung black and white mode?
Yeah, except that Color Changer won't save batteries in black and white mode. (In fact, I don't really know why Samsung made their power save mode be black and white. On OLED displays you can save power by turning off two of the three RGB colors, but if you run in black and white all three RGB colors are there. Maybe the GPU is used less heavily in black and white mode?)
It MIGHT in red or green mode, though it depends on the device (Color Changer makes the GPU get used more heavily).

I posted a new beta which fixes some bugs. It's also about 0.5mb smaller!

This might be my favourite app ever! My S4 has a slight green tint to it compared to 'clean' displays like the Moto G and it bugs the hell out of me at night - this is exactly what I've been looking for!
One thing - it's rather hard to compare the effect to normal in the app using the pictures - would it be possible to implement 'floating' sliders which display only the slider and the app underneath - ie Chrome with lots of white - just like the brightness slider does on Lollipop?
Thanks for your great app otherwise, I'll try it out tonight!

The Lorem Ipsum picture in the app has a lot of white. I was hoping that between the pencils, the LARPers and Lorem Ipsum one could calibrate well enough.
Unfortunately, I can't do the floating thing very well because of technical details of how Color Changer works (which is, admittedly, kludgy on 4.4).

Version 1.05 is now released on Google Play. Includes gamma support, improved landscape interface, lots of bug fixes, etc.

I posted a new version. The free version now includes amber mode permanently. The pro version now allows naming the custom modes when you edit them. Easier than remembering the numbers.

I've just updated the free and pro versions to include an Outdoor mode, which makes everything oversaturated (kind of like the outdoor mode in the camera on some Samsung devices). By default there is no button for Outdoor mode (to avoid clutter) but you can access it from the new extras (three dot) menu which lists modes that don't have buttons. In the settings you can also activate the Outdoor mode button.
The extras menu will probably be generally useful as a way of avoiding clutter.
