So, this is my first attempt at programming for android. Well, my first attempt at java as well. Regardless, I am pleased with the outcome and though I would share. As a father of four, I always like keeping a photo of my kids handy. The gallery is nice, but not for a quick, "Have you seen my daughter recently" situation. So I went to the market... Surprisingly I didn't find much. At least not much that did what I wanted. So, here is what I wanted and what I currently have.

Current Frames:
Issues:
Test it out and let me know if you find something else.
ToDo's:
Add additional frames
Add better support for hdpi devices. Need something to test with though.
As you can see it is pretty simple and straight forward. For me, it also does the job well. I have other ideas for it, feature wise as well as new frames. I am hoping to have time to implement them. However, I do have four kids so we will see. If there is interest, I might throw it into the market as well. For now, you can download it at the links below.
If you enjoy this app and want to support me it is available in the market for $0.99. It will always be available here free so don't worry. The QR Code below will take you directly to the market page. If you have bought it and enjoy it please consider rating it.
I would love to hear what you think and what device you are using it on if you have something other than a Hero. As it is, it was designed to support mdpi and android 2.1. Enjoy!
Updates:
FrameMe 1.3.5 - Several other memory related issues have been corrected. There is also the addition of a "No Frame" option when choosing your frame. An about screen was also added and available from the app drawer as well as the full screen image menu. Support for the Atrix's external sd card was also included.
FrameMe 1.3.3 - Added additional work-around's for the "out-of-memory" issues. Should most of the FCs due to bitmap creation and use. Hopefully you notice a difference.
FrameMe 1.3.1 - I am sorry 1.3.1 took so long to get here. There are some serious bugs in the Droid X gallery that I found in the last release. It took me a while to find a solution that didn't break all the other phones out there. Now 1.3.1 works on Droid X as well. (at least with my testers). I also added three new frames including one to go along with HTC Sense or similar design. Hope you enjoy.
FrameMe 1.3.0 - Okay, so a lot of you have been asking for a 2x2 widget and cycling of the image in the widget. Well, 1.3.0 brings all that and a little more. Not only was a 2x2 widget added, but a 1x2 and 2x1 as well. For those widgets using the directory option you can also have the displayed image cycle through images in the directory at a user set interval. Under the hood there has been several performance optimizations and that pesky Galaxy S bug is now dead as well. It should work on all the phones in the series. Also, landscape images are shows in landscape mode so you don't loose half the image. For now, that is about it. Again, I am sorry you have to redo all your widgets but it was necessary to support different widget sizes.
FrameMe 1.2.0 - Version 1.2.0 has had quite a bit of code rewritten. For starters the configuration screen now shows a full widget preview on your own wallpaper. The frame selection is now graphical and pressing menu when a widget is clicked provides an option to reconfigure that widget. There have also been some minor bugs squashed in the directory mode functionality.NOTES: Database has changed, please remove widgets before upgrading.
FrameMe 1.1.2 - Addition of several new frames. Directory mode was tweaked to allow the thumbnail image to be used as the first image when clicked.NOTES: For Directory enabled widgets, the thumbnail image will be in the rotation twice if it was selected from an image within the target directory.
FrameMe 1.1.1 - Corrected the memory issues in the directory option. It now can support unlimited images in a directory.NOTES: Images are loaded and scaled in real time. To improve fling speed size your images appropriate for your phone. It will work regardless though.
FrameMe 1.1.0 - Added the ever requested directory option. Now you can bind a widget to a directory on your sdcard and when clicked it will fling between the images in that directory. Thumbnail image is not required to be in that directory and still shows in the fling list for other non-directory widgets. NOTES: This modifies the database so you will need to re-add you current widgets. Also, it is easy to run out of memory when pointing to a directory with lots of images. It does resize though to help with this.
FrameMe 1.0.1 - Added the Rustic Edge frame & code cleanup.
FrameMe 1.0.0 - Corrected a few bugs with canceling out of the config screen without selecting an image. Removed the fling action if only one widget (image) is available. Code cleanup.
KidFrame 1.3 - Added a few more frames. Also made it so if you click on an widget to get a full size image you can now fling (swipe) and it will cycle through all widget images without having to close and click again. First image delays a little while it is processing and I am not completely sold on it yet. Also added my icon in the correct place for hdpi devices.
KidFrame 1.2 - Created resized thumbnails for display on the widget. This should help with memory resources and allow the number of widgets to be almost unlimited. Also added a third frame (was just playing with frames).
1.1 - Link above has been updated with the newest version: Code has been rewritten to us a database back-end. Configurations now are kept after a reboot. The selected image is now user cropped and resized so it should not limit the number of widgets you can add. Hopefully there will be more to come.
Great app. Thanks. I had an idea to fill a 4x4 screen with images of my family for easy viewing but using ADW the 6th+ widget fail to load. So I will go with 4-5. Cant wait to see what other frames you have in mind.

Looks like this may be a memory issue. If you resize your images manually to around 600 on the longest side you should be able to use as many as you want. I played around and had issues with camera images (5mp) not loading but smaller (640x480) images would just fine.
I will look into actually resizing the images for the thumbnails. This should help. Thanks for the feed back. I am glad you like it.
I'm glad I stumbled across this! Thanks much!

Yeah, I am working on the reboot thing. It is driving me a little nuts. I will update the original post once I have it figured out. Thanks for giving it a try.
I don't personally have a use for this sort of thing, but thought I would congratulate you on your foray into the Java/Droid world - keep up the good works, and enjoy raising them kiddos!

Thanks! It has been a hair pulling ride. I should start my 4 year old in java. That way it could be a family activity.
Nice! My mom will love this app. I will wait to tell her about it though until it resizes the pics to thumbnails. She'll want to dedicate multiple, full, screens to her niece and currently it looks like that's not possible without getting errors.

edit: It's working great. I have 7 loaded on one of my screens and no blanking out or losing images on reboot. Thanks. I love this app.
Any way you can make the crop box be the same dimensions as the screen so we can tell what will show up. with the current setup you have to center the image so it show when you open it.

I can, and I had actually tested it that way. The problem is that if you select an image based on the portrait view it never works correctly in landscape. With the 1:1 square, if you center what you want to focus on it works in both modes.
I realize that many people never use a landscape home (many devices don't support it) but many of us do. If enough people make the request, I can change it though.... or if you device doesn't support a landscape home screen then maybe I could make you a custom build... It might be a few days though.
Thank you, great job, working great on the evo.

That is great to hear! I was hoping it would work okay on the hdpi devices. I have limited ability to test outside of my own Hero. I am glad it looks okay. If you have the ability, I would love to see a screen shot from the EVO.
I am glad it is being enjoyed!
Hey, on you EVO does it have a custom icon or the little green android stock thing? I think I need to make an hdpi icon...
It is the stock icon, Here are some screens from the evo:
The only thing I noticed & im not sure if it is because of the evo's screen size or not, but some of the pic gets cut off, well not the full size pic you know, I have to stretch & center it when cropping...

Hummm bummer, I will get an update up that has the correct hdpi icon. I also have a few new frames.
Any requests for frames? Can't promise I can make them, but I can try.

Thanks, attachments wasn't working for me probably because I had some problems with javascript on my browser.
Now it's better
Thanks for this great app!
The ability to play multiple simultaneous sounds is a must have feature.
On my unmodified HTC Incredible running 2.2 the text is larger than the horizontal bar it is supposed to fit in, so the bottom of the text gets cut off. Or maybe the horizontal area is too small vertically.

Row had accidentally fixed height. Also noticed that board got unreadable when using line break.
Thanks
Doing some relatively bad thread necroing here, but I don't know that I want to create a whole new thread just for a suggestion or two...
A couple bugs (at least on my Samsung Galaxy S running stock Eclair):
When the screen shuts off from idling and you have a graphical soundboard open, the app crashes. This also happens if you lock the screen by way of the power button. This happened with the graphical Soundboard I was working with, as well as with a brand new, freshly created graphical soundboard (no sounds added, completely default settings). This does not seem to happen with a List-style Soundboard, or when you're up one level looking at the list of soundboards you've created.
When selecting files for either new sounds or for the graphics of those sounds, the font is too large for the row height and gets cut off at the bottom of any text. It's not unreadable, but the individual rows are hard to select. In actuality, the font size is probably okay, and the row height just needs to be increased.
Some suggestions:
In a Graphical soundboard, have an auto-align function like the main app window; something where you can set up how many rows and columns you want, and then arrange the sounds by that layout, in a grid-style layout.
Options for both Auto-arrange and manual arrange of the above function.
Create new graphical soundboard objects in a fresh space away from other items, so you're not creating new ones on top of each other. Possibly requires auto-arrange to be turned on.
Allow a default setting for the Name, Image, and Sound settings for a particular Soundboard so you don't have to set each one every time you make a new soundboard item.
I just want to say how AWESOME this app is. It lets me create EXACTLY the kind of soundboard I want, with a background pic, images for each sound, individual volume settings, you can play sounds overlapping or choose not to... It's GREAT! ...I just wish it was a bit easier to create multiple soundboard objects, and didn't crash from graphical soundboards. XD
Hope this is helpful!
It's not necroing. This thread is alive as long as I am developing this app. I'm developing this app until I state that I am not developing this app (on this thread).
Also please don't expect me to update this app if there are no suggestions or bug reports.
All posts to this thread are most welcome.

This is exactly why there are "Duplicate sound" feature on sound options. If you are sure that this feature doesn't fit your purposes please inform me and I will consider making "default sound" feature.
Notice that duplicating sound makes it exact duplicate, so you may not notice that there are two sounds one on top of the other.
I have both bugs fixed by now. I will get back to your other suggestions when I have more time. I will be updating my application asap.

I think that particular one was just a "User Education" issue. XD I haven't tried seriously playing around with it yet since I'm at work (and already spent enough time the other day messing with it while at work, LOL), but even so.
For me anyway, my suggestions were just things I felt would make the experience even better, but since it's already GREAT, they're just kinda "meh, whenever you get to them." Very happy to see 1.07 so quickly though to fix the issues, I'm just beaming now, this app is entirely too awesome.

Hello I used Mikuz unlimited soundboard app creator to make a custom soundboard, i got everything created and sounds assigned and icons, and the project name is in green, and now I am not sure how to post it up for people to share and try out for free any help would be appreciated.
can this be uploaded to the market? or how does that step work?

Make sure to read "Sharing board" topics on help.
It can not be uploaded to the market.
To share your board on internet I would suggest you to make it zip file on computer or on your Android device.
(Make sure to zip folder named as your board, not content of it, to make this simpler for receivers.)
You can upload it to Dropbox (you can use Get Shareable Link feature), Multiupload or similar file sharing services.
You can also send it directly to friend using MSN etc.
If you are sure everything on it is 100% legal, you can post it here and ask me to include it on 1st post. (I will upload it to my server if I accept it.)
Mikuz,
This is a great app...really like it.
You asked for suggestions, so here are a few:
Include the ability to pause or stop a sound by touching the sound a second time, instead of having to hit settings, then pause.
Include the ability to create a "stop all sounds" button.
Include the ability to have different images for each state of the sound (stopped or idle, playing, paused)
Include ability to set additional sound preferences per soundboard (like a preference to pause/play on corresponding clicks, or stop sound on second click)
Anyway, thanks again for this cool app...I really, really, really like that I can use it to play entire songs, and not just tiny files.

Good suggestions, thanks.
I'm wondering if it would be better to select if you want to always play, pause or stop sound on second click per sound rather than per board.

I think you mean like a normal sound but it would stop/pause all playing sounds. Good idea.
Hi there, I was looking for an App like this a long time and now finally found yours meeting most of my need, so thanks a lot!
I played with it a little yesterday and came up with some ideas I would like to mention here in case it could be easily implemented.
First I was wondering if the already existing Dropbox-Implementation could be used for importing sound and images as well. Now I would put sounds into Dropbox, open Dropbox on Android, chose what I want dowloaded for the Soundboard, switch back to the Soundboard and then for each file click through to the Dropbox-Folder to add it... Using the internal Dropbox-connection this could be done much easier and faster... (Or am I missing something already there?)
Second about importing Images: I would like a button to automatically set the size to the original dimensions of the image instead of having to tap these in manually...
I was very happy to find, that I could switch to landscape, as I use a tablet that is not very nice to handle in portrait-mode... Really nice App
Ah, and are there any Soundboards shared by users yet?
Sorry it took some time to answer but I'm quite busy and probably won't develop until january. (Though you never know if I get excited enought about it.)
If you want to copy a file to a board using the current Dropbox implementation in the UnlimitedSb then you should: upload a board to the Dropbox, copy a file to the board's Dropbox folder and then download the board from the Dropbox.
The current implementation is ment to have a copy of a board in the Dropbox. Copying a file is possible but not handy.
Browsing the files in the Dropbox to copy a file to a board folder is an interesting idea. I don't use the official Dropbox app much but I think that it should be able to handle the same thing decently.
I will see what I can do when I have the time. I should also see if I can improve the Dropbox support at some point. I wasn't able to do everything I wanted since I was using an early version of the Dropbox client.
Nope, haven't heard of any publicly shared boards yet.
Good news soundboard enthusiastics, there's a huge udate coming!
I will rebrand this app since Android 4 will be required and the update will really impove this app and make it more useful.
It will take some time until it can be released. I feel like I should release it already since it's so much better than the current version but I really need to make the experience complete for a good new start.
You will notice when the new version is out if you take a look at the 1. post. Now let's all make sure we got some sandwitch prepared on our desks.
PS. If you figure out a good name for a soundboard app you can PM or email me. Just make sure it's something rather under 10 than 20

This is made easier in Boarder. You can put a sound to Apps/Boarder/<board name> directory in Dropbox and then download it using Dropbox implementation for Boarder.
In Unlimited Soundboards everything that doesn't exist in board directory in Dropbox would be removed in download operation. This is optional in Boarder and there will be dialog promoting the cleaning operation.

Not sure If you refer to the last value of dimensions or bitmap size as the original dimensions.
However, I changed the values above text fields to represent the original size of the bitmap. I added a button after the fields for reverting the size to what it was when the dialog was opened.
This change will be included in following releases of Boarder.

I'm planning to make it possible to choose hybrid mode (portrait and landscape). Hybrid board would react to changing the orientation of your device in listening mode.
Landscape and portrait would, however, be completely separated and only share the same board folder and listening session. This means both must be maintained by their own. There could be feature for copying sounds from orientation to other, making maintaining a bit easier.
This will not be included in a while and can be expected in Boarder after release in Android Play.
Clockr v1.5.1 is now available from the Android Market.

What is Clockr?
Clockr is a simple home-screen widget that displays the current time in a readable text format.
While it is simple in design, it is packed full of customisation options to make it look just the way you want it to.
Why did I make Clockr?
I have always been a fan of minimalism. I like to have a clean home-screen. Since there was no other widgets available that presented the current time in a way that I wanted it, I decided to make my own widget.
Will it work on my device?
At the moment, Clockr is supported on all current devices running 2.1+. Soon I will have support for earlier versions of Android, but I haven't been able to test this yet. It was designed with a 480x800 screen in mind, but this isn't to say it wont work on other sizes (again, it is something I haven't tested).
Where can I get Clockr?
Clockr is again available as a free download from the Android Market. You can find it by searching for "clockr".
QR code, its click-able if you are on your phone (thanks to Wallla and excedio for helping me out):
I hope you enjoy my widget!
Thanks
- xaffron (One More Clock) for his help with services and his nifty notification trick.
- zappatilias (BattStatt) for the initial inspiration and for the Color picker suggestion!
- ralfoide (24 Clock) learnt a lot by studying his code.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I use this widget? Every time I click the icon it just brings up a stupid information screen.
A: Scroll down to the next post, I have provided a simple guide to installing Clockr/Clockr Evolution on your Home screen.
Q: Why does a clock need permission to read phone state?
A: Apparently it doesn't, this has been removed in the latest versions available on the Android Market. If you are being asked for this permission by my app, you are using an older version, please update. - Thanks zappatilias
Q: Some other clocks don't use a service, why does yours?
A: Clockr will only use a service if you enable "Force Update". If you are having problems with the clock going out of sync, you might need to enable "Force Update" as most people suggest this is the best method. In fact I have tested Clockr against other similar clocks using Watchdog real-time profiling and I have found Clockr (With Force Update enable) to be one of the most efficient of all of them in regard to actual CPU usage. I encourage you to test this yourself, you will be surprised at how little this app uses.
Q: Why does it put an item in my notification bar if I select "Force Update"?
A: Since Android 2.0, there have been changes to how services are handled. To keep a service from not being killed by the Android OS, you need to set it to run in the foreground. Since a clock widget needs to be constantly updating itself every new minute that passes, we don't want the OS to kill it off at the wrong time. Now, by setting itself in the foreground, it doesn't mean it's actually working any harder, it just means that when the OS decides to kill off services, it will leave it alone.
In the old days (pre-2.0), it was possible to start a service and flag it as "foreground" and that was it. To do the same thing now, Android requires that a notification is shown to the user at all times. I've hidden it as much as possible (thanks to xaffron for his suggestions), but if you don't like the idea of a notification sitting there, you can switch "Force Update" off.
Q: When will you add this feature...
A: At the moment, I am working on including many features. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them in this thread but I can only work on so many things at once, I am only human!
Q: Why don't you respond to my complaint in the market.
A: While I do read every comment on the market, if you have a bug/issue, it is best to write about it here or even email me via the email address on the Clockr Market page (which is: [email protected]). Please try to provide as much information as possible, I'm not psychic. If you can include what phone you have, which rom (official/custom) you are using, how did the bug occur, what were you doing, etc... it will help me greatly to find the problem.
Q: Will you be adding support for App2SD
A: No. Please stop asking, you're making yourself look silly. App2SD does not and never will work for widgets.

How to install the Clockr Widget on your homescreen
NOTE: This isn't the only way to add widgets to your Home screen, but it is one way that is easy to explain.
FIRST STEP
You need to start from your Home screen. This is what a basic Home screen looks like:
It has widgets and other things that you can move around.
You need to make sure that you have room for Clockr to be installed (It does take up a whole row of space).
SECOND STEP
Press the "Menu" button on your phone so that this pops up:
Now you need to select the "Add" option (the one I have highlighted).
THIRD STEP
Now this dialog box will pop up:
Select the option to add "Widgets" (highlighted in the image).
FOURTH STEP
Now a list of available widgets will appear:
Select the Clockr widget that you wish to install.
FIFTH STEP
If you followed these simple steps, Clockr will now be added to your Home screen:
If you tap on the widget, you can then change any of the custom options to make it look how you want it to look.
Hope this has helped you, if you are still having trouble, let me know!

Future version releases will have basic options to change text color, size, background and other necessary things. I just wanted to get this released so people can stop asking me about it. ^_^
Can't wait to see what you can make out of it!
Added some mods. Uploaded to here, and on my blog's downloads section
Zehro and Hollywooder thanks for all your efforts!!
looks like an awesome app, just now added to my screen its much better than tjam in my opinion!
Looks cool, I'll try it out later.
Oh, how about localised versions? One thing that always bugged me about Tajm is that it is only English and am/pm, I'd very much love a widget like that that reads e.g. "ZwölfSiebenundZwanzig"

I hope to be able to add this soon.
I'm still very new to Android Development, just learning my way around. At the moment, I am working to provide a configuration screen that allows you to change font size, font color and also add a background image (similar launcherpro dock). After this, I think localisation will be my next goal.
Man, I was totally lurk-stocking the Nexus boards waitin for this. Great work man, thank you!
Freakin' awesome! I use it on my EVO and it looks nasty! I love it!
You know what would go good w/ this? "Dater" "tuesdayNOVEMBERtwenty-fifth"

it would be cool if it were possible to install all three mods as separate widgets rather than having to replace one after the other when trying to switch between mods
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm glad people are liking it, hopefully you will like it even more once I improve it!
The reason it updates a bit slowly is because I didn't want it to be a big drain on battery life. I can always change it so it updates more frequently, but for my first android app release, I didn't want people screaming at me because my app is killing their device. =P
Tonight I have been trying to workout how to get this configuration page to work properly. As soon as that clicks in place, you'll be able to switch font colors and all the other things easily.
I do plan to make other widgets in a similar style (I like the idea of dater, but the name... sounds a bit like a dating service! LOL). Right now, I'm just trying to focus on getting this configuration screen working and then it will be easy for me to apply my application to other ideas.
For now, I gotta sleep. Its after 2am here and I have to work tomorrow! >.<

Look great!

This works really well and I love the interface. My only gripe so far is that it's not obvious when the background is transparent. It would be great if it was checkerboard instead of white (like in the layer view).
Also, I'd like to see support for images of different sizes and zooming too if possible! I know this is likely to add to the complexity of the app, but really think these are features you need.
It is the best painting app for android so far imo. But I think it needs a landscape image size, a better paint fill, and an option to have the cursor slightly above your finger so that your finger isn't covering it. But the number one thing it needs is the fill. Filling an object makes little white outline of the color.
Btw I'm using HTC g2 and it doesn't lag or anything, runs very well.

You can pinch to zoom at the moment if that's what you mean. Different images sizes is definitely on my feature list, including landscape canvases.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! Yes, landscape is a top priority feature. I'll be adding offset drawing too. You're right, the fill bucket does need some work.

I just spent the last half hour playing with this on my EVO. Definitely something that the Android world is lacking!
As I use this app more and more in the hour, I realize how much I love it and I can give a bit more critisism. I now don't really care about the fill tool as painting it manually is a lot more fun and gives a nice texture.
I also think the eraser and brush should have seperate setting, so a big feather brush for erasing, and the normal brush for painting. There was more things I realized but can't think of them right now, I will edit this post when I remember.

OK, it's on my list of things to do next. Keep the critique coming if you think of anything else! I want to make this the best painting app on Android.
Great picture by the way. I like the shading. Have you tried playing with the filters? Emboss is quite fun for extra texture.
Gonna give it a test now
Great!! Used it on the Atrix, it works really well! Needs a bit more accurate drawing & erasing (as it was suggested a couple of posts earlier), your finger covers the line as it is now. Will post more ideas soon.
Great potential!!
thanks, awesome job mate!
i don't have to go back WinMo to get all nice drawing apps
works very fast and fluid on HD2, running MIUI 1.4.22.
size isn't an issue on 4.3 inches
maybe "menu" button features could be ipmlemented in bottom bar with "drag up" gesture much like music player on miui if you know what i'm saying.
anyways, excellent for beta, get it to market with final polish i'd shure be willing to pay couple of $$ for it. and offer free verion without layers forcasual users, with ads.
keep up with great work!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd love to have an extra toolbar button for the menu because I know from app reviews that some users don't know where to look for extra options. I want to make sure all the features are easy to find.

Thanks! That's roughly my plan. I think it'll be best to have layers in the free version though so people that haven't used layers before can get a feel for how useful they are.
Loving this
Super fast and accurate on my Vibrant. Love the gestures. Drawing tools are neat and the filters are fun. Options are all easily accessible.
Took a minute to figure out how to delete a layer (tried long pressing on the layer). Wanted to save the image with a name - not just save it generically. Also, duplicating an image could be nicer if I didn't have to open the image to "save a copy."
Very awesome drawing app! Can't wait to let my kids play with it, too.

I'll have a think about how names can be assigned to files without annoying users with pop-ups each time they export a file. What was the reason you wanted to name your file? I could add a menu option that lets you give your painting a title and exported files could be named after this. Would that help?

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Works great on Xoom except Xoom is more of a landscape device and no landscape support yet, other then that its very nice
Works well on Acer iconia A500 on 3.0.1 - great paint app!
CURRENT VERSION 1.5.2 RELEASED DECEMBER 7, 2014 - SEE BELOW FOR CHANGELOG AND DIRECT APK LINK
I would like to share with you guys an app I recently finished called Fresco. With Fresco you can view images posted on the Astronomy Picture of the Day website of NASA. Every image has an explanation written by a professional astronomer and every image ever posted on this website is available in this app (starting somewhere back in 1995) and the goal was to create a very polished, responsive, fast and easy to use interface while being very feature rich.

Features
* View over 5800 images with a new one being downloaded every day
* Mark images as favorites
* View a random image with one button click (I use it to find cool pictures and stories, you can cycle through all images or your favorites)
* View a grid with image archive (with ascending, descending and random sorting)
* Full Text Search for images (e.g. searching for 'apollo moon armstrong' will show all images containing those words, the index uses Porter Stemming Algorithm)
* Double click an image to view it full-size and you can zoom it
* Set image as wallpaper
* Automatically set wallpaper to today's image as soon as it's downloaded (my favorite)
* Share images (via all channels available on your device)
Why it was made
For a long time I was used to a similar app called NasaImages, but it disturbed me that it had a sluggish interface, showed wrong dates and was not able to correctly show 'special characters' like ë and ß. Also i would have liked to set the wallpaper automatically when a new image was downloaded. I addressed all these issues and tried to create a very fast, very polished, simple and yet feature-rich 'replacement' app which is developed using the latest design guidelines. Fresco is the result
The name?
There's an image of two astronauts reaching with their fingers to one another like Michelangelo's painting in the Sistine Chapel (the creation of Adam). I found that image very touching and decided to use it as icon of the app. Wall paintings like the creation of Adam are called frescoes, so that's how I came up with the name (well, actually my girlfriend came up with it, so I guess I should say thanks honey ).
Why this post?
First of all, every developer wants to share his creation because he/she wants to entertain or help others with a problem he/she has had. For me it's no different, I love this app and everyday I wake up I can't wait to check the new image posted and I want to share my excitement with you guys. Second, this is my first serious attempt to create an Android app and I am curious how people think I've done so far. The app is completely free of charge, although it is ad-supported. This is because the images are indexed on my own VPS and that has to be paid and I hope to do that with this app and my future apps
Who am I?
I am a reader of XDA for quite some years now. I did not post a lot and I'm not active in a lot of boards, mostly the Windows Mobile Phone (pre 7) ones and Android/SGS1 boards from two years ago until now. My name is Jori and I live in the Netherlands in a small town called Purmerend (close to Amsterdam). I am a software engineer for a company that creates CRM software and in my free time Iove to play handball, expand my coding skills and spend time with my family.
Closing words
I hope you like (the idea) of this app and hopefully you guys can give me some feedback At least let me thank you for reading.

Good idea. I love the photos that NASA does. Already downloading!
I regularly change my wallpaper using this app. Nicely done!
On a sidenote: I noticed there's a Dutch site (apod.nl) that contains translations of the accompanying texts.

I checked it out and it indeed contains all all dutch translations going back to somewhere in december 2004. I will check out if I can index them too, shouldn't be too much of a problem and when done, the app can be completely in ducth too, which should be nice Thanks for spotting man!
nice app. thanks
Awesome app for switching my wallpaper daily. The quality of the pictures are great and the app runs very smooth.:good:
I'm only mildly interested in NASA's photos, but your app looks nice. Sad that you're the only reviewer on Google Play. I'll throw it a review after playing with it for a bit. Thanks for sharing. Nice OP, too, very well written and formatted. Wish they were all like that.

Thanks, there are some Dutch reviews too, but you won't see them unless you select 'Dutch' in the play store But I had actually thought the interest would be somewhat higher, doesn't matter though, even if no one will use it, it has been a great learning experience

Thank you and thanks for the compliment. I tried to imagine how I would like to see the post if I were someone else, guess that helped
I have got some feedback from some people and I started working on improvements. Those are now available in the play store (see OP for link).
The following things were addressed:
- Added a Dutch translation for images where available (starting from january 1st, 2005). Fresco will automatically select a language for you, but it can be changed in the settings screen.
- Every image has a unique id now (a code)
- At the image archive you can now select an image not only by date, but also by code
- You can now import (or merge) and export favorites
- You can open the source webpage of an image
- Added information about the source of the images in the settings dialog
And some images to indicate the changes
Fan of NASA. Fan of wallpapers. Now a fan of the OP. Nice work.
Suggestion, Post this app to the Nasaspaceflight.com (forums). I'd ask a moderator where to post an they are a bit harsh on rules at times.
Thank you for your contribution. Clean work.

Beautiful nifty little app and enjoying the translation option to Dutch. Just bought the in-app ad-removal!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the nice words, really appreciate them! I checked out the website you mentioned, but it seems they would only post it as advertisements (and although it's pretty cheap, starting $50/month), I don't have that kind of funds (at least not yet). So I think I have to at least postpone that

$50 a month is not a fair rate for which to share a free app with space enthusiasts. I would just post it, and if they delete it, accept it and move on. If they delete the post, they're probably not as interested in space as they claim to be.
Also, I think an option to request setting wallpaper would be appropriate. The other day, it automatically set a pretty lame picture as wallpaper. On its own it wasn't lame at all, it was comparing planets' size (or mass). On its own it's a good picture, but it's a graph, and not really a good choice for a wallpaper. They also regularly post stereoscopic (i.e. 3D) images that would make poor wallpaper choices. I've actually taken to disabling the automatic wallpaper and checking it every couple days, and changing my wallpaper if the new one warrants it, so I suppose that is just as well.
I second your thoughts on the automatic wallpaper selection (had the exact same experience with the graph wallpaper).
Also, today I tried the app on a nexus 7 running android 4.2.1 and it just crashed on launch (I sent the crash report to Google hoping that it will eventually reach you). So I was wondering whether you could add support for nexus 7 devices.

Ok, so I typed a complete answer in like 20 minutes and previewed it to check it for errors and guess what? Windows 8 decided to reboot because it installed even more bugs on my computer, ...sigh... Have to retype it again, hold on, will take some time, since I have to go to work now first

Good point, I'll try to check it out later today again. I'll post the results when I have done that .

During the development of the app this has crossed my mind several times, but I could not come up with a good solution. Now the app is live, I too think not all images are suitable wallpapers, especially the ones you mentioned. However, I still like the "unattendedness" of automatically setting the wallpaper, so I have given it some more thought and I think I have come up with a (partial) solution for this "issue".
1. When a new image is available, it will be automatically set as wallpaper
2. A notification will be created with two buttons (revert to previous and randomly select from favorites)
3. Clicking on one of the buttons will directly result in a new wallpaper being set (thus without any more interaction)
4. Clicking on the notification (outside of the buttons), opens a screen with e.g. 10 randomly selected images which you can then set as wallpaper with one click (with or without the possibility to crop).
This is open for discussion for me though, but I think it would be quite cool as I described

Ouch! That should certainly not happen. I did try it on the emulator with the same specs and that worked (except for the layout, but that will be addressed). I also tried it in an electronics store where I live (lol) and that worked too. I have seen some crash reports, so I will be addressing them, my question for now is: did you experience this issue after it was correctly started once, or doesn't it start at all? I will try to reproduce it again in the emulator. I am aware of an issue that sometimes occurs after you re-focus the app after a long time of inactivity, that issue has been solved, I'm not sure if your issue is related to that.
On a sidenote I have been working on indexing the NASA image of the day images too. I will add those in Fresco too, but the only question is: when you have the auto wallpaper feature enabled, which one will be selected?
Your solution can work, but maybe it's too complicated. I like the random idea. Maybe show the new image (JB expanded notification) and say "Set, Random, Pick". Set makes it your wallpaper. Random takes one from your favorites, like you said. And Pick opens your favorites and lets you pick one. Set and Random crop for you, where Pick would let you crop it yourself.
Full disclosure: I'm actually rocking the live wallpaper from GO's neXt Launcher, though. (The launcher is $15.99 -- ouch! -- but the LWP is free. Not plugging it, just saying. But I will go back to space wallpapers sooner than later, I don't like what LWP's do to my battery. And GO stuff is kinda terribad anyway, but this one at least looks nice.)
Hi Guys,
I've doing an open beta testing of my first launcher app. The APK is attached at the end of the post.

I'm creating this thread to invite anyone that have interest in using Android launcher app to get some user experience feedback and post it here for me. Please also test if it has some bugs, the phone manufacturer/model and which ROM you're running are all needed very much for me to fix them.
Sorry, for now is English only, soon I'll put back the other languages.
People always need to use smart phone with one hand while driving, working, drinking coffee or eating something, and the large screen smart-phone made you very difficult to use at that time.
OF Launcher used newly design with longitudinal slide, one finger will touch things easily. Users can slide to open multiply drawer with customized wallpapers which will get an unprecedented visual experience.
OF Launcher shows your apps at the bottom where you can touch them easily, without icons and widgets cluttered your beautiful desktop. Then, an amazing thing will happen. You can set your own pictures or even stars’ posters as app folders’ wallpapers, which will be shown on your phone screen totally, and these personalized wallpapers will make your phone stylish.
Rather than spending a long time in other old launchers with all your 10 fingers, just swipe and slide to manage your Android with one finger will be a better choice. The quick access app drawer let you get where you need to go comfortably. 10+ desktop gestures allows convenient access to your favorite apps, system settings, switches and all your phone widget with just one hand. You can add more folders and arrange your favorite apps to always be within your reach.
APK is available here:

Two years ago, the company was able to get a seed fundings $70000 as a startup. However, it’s too difficult to have someone believing in launching something amazing and win lots of fan’s love from Google Play. So this program was stopped many times. However, with many people’s help, OF Launcher come out finally.
One finger control features:
- Hold wallpaper to edit your current folder’s name, apps and wallpapers
- Slide left/right to open drawer, slide again to enter manage page
- Create new folders in manage page, click folder name to delete or hide it from prying eyes
- Sometimes when the folder name keeps bouncing, it means there are more apps in the folder
- Drag icon right/left to open drawer
- Drag icon into Create Folder to create a new folder
- Drag icon up/down then hold and wait, you’ ll be sent there
- Long tap icon-> move -> hold for 0.7 sec to launch floating slider!
- Long tap an application to rename, delete or uninstall it
- Widget: Weather forecast widget, Music widget, shortcut widget, settings and more

It's an awesome concept for a launcher...I know it's in early stage but still I would say it need a lot more refinement.I am running it on a Redmi Note 3 with official MIUI Dev ROM version 6.12.15.
Some suggestions from me
1. Please add icon pack support for the launcher
2. Support for system animations
3. Try not to use in-built music player, make it as a controller for the player that's running.
4. Make the side menu on both sides work by edge swipe. Feels better
5. Option for custom app groups
6. You may provide widgets in the wallpaper area which are related to the current app menu/app group eg. On home group it may show weather and time or something (news feeds maybe) in the same way music shows music control social may show social feed (I guess you get it now )
7. If the above request is done, the menu on the right will be free for your awesome imagination.
8. Provide option for live wallpapers in even though it's in the area where wallpaper is, as KLWP+OF launcher will do wonders.
considering bots? like google asistant
Consider not using Google for only download. Till then I cannot use willingly

APK update.
Hi
Here is OF Launcher APK shared on my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9ysdhkEPKVKU1pPTXNZdmdmSUE
Sony M2 Aqua - EagleXperience (based on 5.1.1) with locked bootloader & xposed
So far I LOVE this! It's perfect in terms of being customizable but not overwhelming. (I often waste lot of time planning out a homescreen only to tell myself I'll get to finishing it eventually.)
I pretty much agree with the above comment (icon packs would be cool; more widgets, though I like the way they look on the hidden side menu, etc.)
1. I like the wallpaper that shows up when the launcher first starts up, the black/orange space one, but can't find it in the folder wallpaper picker. Can you make that one available?
2. Other than the home folder, the app drawer isn't functional. I tap on any app and it says "unknown" (screenshot won't attach). They do open from the home folder, though. (Also can you make the "trending" and pandora box fully hideable?)
3. It takes a while for newly-downloaded apps to show up in the launcher.
4. Allow non-google engines in the search widget. Connect the music widget to the media player app.
5. It seems to use a lot of space, especially for how simple it is, but I haven't scrutinized every other launcher to compare, so maybe it's normal.
I'm not on Facebook, so I can't join the group. But I'm happy to continue giving feedback/usage statistics to help you out.

2.Will it make your phone crash or slow?
Let me know the problems’ details, so that I can check it and improve OF Launcher in the next 10 work days. I will focus on solving this kind of problems. Thank you in advance.
no longer can find app in google play. Am I missing the updates? Also is it possible to maybe group apps in a small folder that could be placed on picture area on top of each app folder. An if so can it be an optional to show same said mini folders on top of all main folder pic rather than have to make same mini folder for on pic on each main folder.Also maybe instead of making it compatible with icon packs. You could just make an option to change Icon picture to a personal gallery pic you can resize.Love your launcher. Willing to pay up to 20$ just to keep add free. Also not sure if it's been mentioned. But on samsung s7 edge you can't put same app in different folders.Automatically removes from previous folder once added to a new one.I think you may of fixed this but also notice when switching from hd,to fhd,or wqhd apps start disappearing.Once said resolution switched and kept on for a day said appsdo eventually return.Thank you again for hard work. Sould be top ten launcher 2017.
Good job!

Hey, I've update a new version. Please have a try and give me some feedback.
Launcher settings backup ?
Would you be able to add backup option for launcher settings. Whenever the app crashes, i ll have to redo all the settings. Instead it would be easier to restore from backup
Thanks

Just installed. I must say it's a very fluid launcher. Keeping a clean home screen with the draws sliding out is real nice. Great job! Looking forward to the future updates.
