Photo Frame Screensaver? - Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps

Is there any sort of photo frame app for Honeycomb?
I'm looking for something that can display say selected Picasa photos or something of the like that will just flick through them.
Basically, an app which does what those digital frames do. I would just use tasker to start the app up after a certain period of time

You can try JustPictures, it has a slideshow option , that I'm sure Tasker could start, and it accesses a few online photosites, including Picasa, and of course on board pics

multipicture live wallpaper.... it does just that....but i dont know if it uses picasa pictures....has to be on your microsd or ur internal sdcard.... dont quote me on that but i use it and it rotates pictures at whatever interval you specify

Exactly what I am looking for. I have tried a lot of things and I had it working perfectly to my uses in my previous android 2.0 tablet. I used Plug In Launcher or phoneweaver to launch photo slides, but any photo app would work well in this regard. I liked photo slide because it was simple. The key for me with a program launcher is that it would only engage after power was plugged in. Phoneweaver was nice because I could also set brightness to 100% and never lock the screen.
Enter the transformer, and now I have a problem that I havent been able to solve. Android 3.0 thinks that you are plugged into the wall when you attach the dock and no other launcher is aware of this difference with the transformer. I have emailed the developers of several of these programs and have not received any response about if they plan to code something specifically for users of the transformer.
Tasker was mentioned here, any idea if it supports the power plug properly on the transformer? Or some other suggestion?

Photos Widget

How does it choose the order of photos?
It seems totally random as it's not by filename. Anyone know?
Also, is there another full-screen photos widget app that works as well as HTC's but with more options?

full 'FULL' screen slideshow app?

I'm currently using QuickPic as my slideshow program, but the one thing I find is that the image don't show up 'full' screen, and I mean by hiding the bottom taskbar. Are there ANY programs out there will can do this (hide the bottom taskbar) and show images at full res of the tablet?
I'm really interested in this, too. Even some of the office programs like Polaris or Quick Office don't seem to have a way to view slideshows (like PowerPoint presentations) in a way that completely fills the 1280*800 screen.
Don't think it's possible. Probably something hard coded into Honeycomb because of the lack of hardware keys, but I could be wrong.
I have an idea how it could be helped. But I don't have time to write an app that does that - so maybe someone will. The idea is simple: rotate the screen to portrait, but show everything in landscape. That way you have nice 1200x800 screen resolution (because the stupid status bar in on the right, not at the bottom).
Also if you can - star this issue in Android bug tracker: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...=4&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
And this one maybe too: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15408 (but it's closed so probably noone from Google reads it).

Replying to a 2 year old thread with app recommendation....I'm going to just think your a shill. But you did make it obvious with your signature, so I guess just a evangelist for your app.
Since this thread is a live again. I use Digital PhotoFrame, because it's one of the few that support reading the photos from a network storage (NAS).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.wyseur.photo
I actually use it with my Touchpad Android4.0 so that it autolaunches (via tasker) when docked.

I purchased this app as well, it works great. How did you get it to autolaunch with Tasker?
I've been tying to figure out how to do the same thing.

I'm the developer of digital photo frame. First of all, thank you for buying the premium version. Some other user figured out how to autolaunch with tasker. I can't post the link yet (new user ...) but the title of the google group post is "Tasker, Digital Photo Frame Premium, and Autorun"
Anyway, the settings should be

Android Wallpaper System!?

How the heck do I set a correct 100% good looking authentic wallpaper? I've tried dual wide HD (2560x800) wallpapers, HD (2560x1600), (1280x800), and many other different combos, but I just don't understand how the Android wallpaper system works.
First of all, the "set as" function by the gallery is absolutely terrible. It only lets me select 40% of my picture and crops out the rest! WTF!
Next, i've tried alternatives such as the app "Wallpaper Set and Save" from the market, and sure it definitely looks a lot better, but it isn't able to do the perfect job either, the top and bottom of the pictures I have get cut off while the width surprisingly works well.
What is the correct way to get a good wallpaper on honeycomb!?

This will change how your TF uses wallpaper.
I was able to fill the screen to proper preportions a photo of my wife, then set it to not slide. My 5 screens flow by as the picture stays still.
This free app will help you do so much I think it's worth a shot.
Agreed, MultiPicture Live Wallpaper but please, next time do a SEARCH before you post. There are literally dozens of topics dedicated to this aspect already.
Please help keep the forum clean.
I've tried that app before, the thing is, I want my wallpaper to "pan" across the (3) homescreens I use, it's just that I want it to do so while having the correct aspect ratio. I don't want one static image for each homescreen.
u can use an app named Wallpaper Wizardii , U can find it in the market

New to android, concerns with HTC One S [feedback report (long))]

I'm posting here because this community might share these concerns
HTC One S
Edit: Device is Stock, ICS Sense 4
Carrier: Virgin Mobile Canada
As most reports, its best to start with praise, but since I don’t want to make this long, I’m just going point of the negatives (sorry htc).
Hands down this is the best phone I have every used. Aside from a few learning curves, I have successfully transitioned into the android environment with minimal setbacks. I'm honestly very impressed with how good the user experience is.
FACEBOOK Widgets doesn't show latest posts (fail)
A good example is the Facebook widget. The widget will only show posts hours old unless I open the Facebook app and refresh the news feed. This defeats the purpose of having a widget for quick access to information. The widget doesn’t update in real-time (notifications are not pushed) and the interval to check for updates seems very sparse.
Browser menu does not always appear (Landscape mode) (fail/concern)
When you scroll you sometimes get the menus to appear (they slide in from top and bottom), others times it does not appear. Sometimes when you scroll fast, or slow. It seems to appear whenever it feels like it, making it difficult to get to the menu when you want. Though, I can always scroll to the top of the page.
edit: see it in action here: youtube. com/ watch?v=hSYRYCO5ytU#t=08m20s thanks moonrock
Message notifications (concern)
I really like the notification tray at the top of the screen, it provides information about downloads, pending transactions, new messages, etc., I use multiple chat clients (gchat, whats app, yahoo, sms). It would be nice if a new message would stay at the top for a few seconds so I can click it and immediately switch to it, instead of having to go home> swipe down> select message.
edit: I can just swipe, no need to go home first (unless it's full screen app). thanks edscholl
Indication LED (concern)
The flashing led works fine, but since it is embedded deep into the shell of the phone, you will not see it when its sitting away from you at an angle. I understand its to keep the phone sleek, and its something to adapt to.
Dropbox sync (concern)
The Dropbox app includes the option ‘Turn on Camera Upload’. This works great! The problem is, if I delete a photo from my Dropbox, it remains on my phone, and vice versa. So they are not in sync, and I can't find a solution.
edit: I tried Dropsync, and picked up the pro version to sync multiple folders. Sense 4 stores multiple files per image (thumbnails, preview, actual picture) in a series of folders. Deleting the files doesn't update Sense 4's image library... Great tool non the less! thanks pbelcomp
Vibrating touch (concern)
This is a really cool feature to provide tactile feedback, and it works very well! I have had it enabled for the keyboard, and I’m concerned that it may be hard on the motor or rattle the phone. Each keypress causes vibration. When typing a long messages, the vibrate will go on/off as long as I type. I’m sure this causes wear that is not necessary? Just a concern if its OK to use like this.
Home screen widget real estate (4x4 virtual grid) – would like to see 5x5? (concern)
With the screen resolution becoming higher, and screen size larger, it would be nice to have more room for icons and widgets.
edit: there are 3rd party apps that help with this (Apex, LauncherPro), thanks moonrock
Display quality (praise):
I first had issues with the jaggyness of small print, enough that I was worried it was going to be a problem and give me headaches. The fact that if you look closely, you can see as what I describe as ‘space between the pixels’, which is caused by the PenTile subpixel pattern. Example found here:
After using the phone for a few days, I’ve actually come to appreciate this feature. I’ve noticed the screen has become much easier on the eyes and extended use is very pleasing. I really like it!
Task switching (suggestion)
Yes there is a dedicated app switching button, but the smooth scroll and inertia makes it difficult to select the app you want (especially if your choice is right beside your current app, you need to slow down and get it just right). I suggest limiting inertia to slow swipes. Also maybe in the future, a shortcut to switch back to the previous app, a 3 finger swipe could switch back-forth between background apps.
Camera (suggestion)
This thing is brilliant! Only feedback would be to preserve the existing chosen effect. If I want all my pictures to have ‘vintage cold’, When I quit the camera and go back, it resets to ‘no effect’. Maybe this is a feature not sure.
Last but not least,
Menu: Keyboard click sound (suggestion)
Looking for sound ‘click’ when typing on keyboard. Is not in settings>SOUND, rather I found it in: Language & Keyboard > HTC Sense Input. Not a big deal, just a suggestion to include it in ‘settings>sound’ under ‘system’.

You should only have to briefly scroll downwards for the URL bar/menu to pop up at the top, not all the way to the top of the page.

It is a one way sync - you take a photo and it is auto-uploaded. You have to choose at that point what to keep where.

Use a 3rd party launcher (Apex, LauncherPro, etc) - You'll be able to change the grid size and resize your widgets accordingly.
You came from an iPhone didn't you?

Blackberry, app switching was easier, and indicator light was more useful IMHO. But the typing is way better on this device
Hm, I see what you mean re: the browser via this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSYRYCO5ytU (browser is at 7:35-ish)
You could also try a new browser (ex: Chrome) if you don't like how the built in one doesn't work how you like. Another "solution" would be to pinch to zoom out to quickly be able to get back up to the top.

your general heading is wrong. widgets certainly can update real time (clock widget for example). apparently, the facebook widget doesn't update as often as you like is the real problem (don't know as i don't use it). i'm sure there are others that you can find that might.

Interesting, I have since added the widget again, yes facebook is enabled in Accounts, and freshly synced. Facebook app is freshly updated, and friendsteam app is freshly updated, and the widget will not show the latest post. infact it keeps returning to an older post (4 hours ago) (2 posts ago it seems). I don't know why, can't tell why.

Same problem...tried everything to get it to sync normally. Only uninstalling updates and clearing data and cache seem to work as this returns to stock fb setting. Then issues with contact images not loading. Also tried disabling sense app and running only market version.
Mine is also updated and last sync is 21 hours old for the widget. I also tried a fresh authorization from fb with HTC sense and nothing.
It does not update even if I force fb to refresh or force sync under accounts.
I have since wasted enough time on it..now that Facebook is going to build a phone with HTC, hopefully they can get sense to work as it should with fb updates installed. You are not alone..Google sense and fb for more info.
It just don't work right..still awesome phone though!
Lol reading the OP made me all nostalgic thinking about the first time I used my Android phone back in the G1 days. Things were tougher then. We had no on screen keyboard, no dock shortcuts, Facebook app still sucked, and had to walk uphill in the snow both ways. But it was still the greatest phone I'd ever had

[APP][2.2+] Gainos Fresh Wallpapers / DayDream - Auto-changing images from Flickr

OVERVIEW
When I got my Nexus 4 phone, I wanted to take full advantage of the high quality screen and set a gorgeous wallpaper on it. But I realized that no matter what wallpaper I set, I always get tired of looking at it quite quickly. What I really wanted was a new beautiful wallpaper every time I would pick up my phone. And that's why I created the app Gainos Fresh Wallpapers. It selects a random photo from Flickr's Explore stream and sets that as your wallpaper at regular intervals. I have mine set to change every hour.
APP HIGHLIGHTS
Images are selected at random from the 'Explore' stream at Flickr. This app is not affiliated with Flickr in any way.
Remembers last 10 wallpapers so you can go back and choose one you previously liked.
Choose to change the wallpaper as frequently as 10 minute to as slow as once every week.
Enable Daydream mode on JellyBean+ devices to start screensaver when device is docked.
Share images with your social networks.
Works well with tablets and phones. For high resolution displays a higher quality image is downloaded.
Choose to download new wallpapers only over wifi to save cellular bandwidth.
Minimal interface that stays out of your way. Just start the service once and forgot about the app.
HOW TO GET
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=li.muhammada.gainos&referrer=utm_source%3Dxdadevelopers
Amazon AppStore: https://amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=li.muhammada.gainos

I'll really appreciate your feedback and suggestions!
Thanks!!
Hi guys, any issues to report?
Just installed it. Interface is clean and simple, very nice!
I don't know much about Flickr, but would it be possible to choose different "genres"? Such as scenery shots, cities, beaches etc..? That would be be a fantastic addition.
Apart from that, it seems to work exactly as described! I'll see how battery life is affected over the coming days but I don't think it'll be an issue
Great work! :good:
P.S. Check the XDA Portal in a few days
Glad you liked it!

First of all, thanks a lot for the app! It's a great idea. I just have a couple of requests:
Let's say I have the app refresh every 10 minutes and I leave my phone idle for an hour. It downloads all 6 wallpapers and wastes bandwidth for no reason rather than waiting for me to see the wallpaper before going to the next one. Could you change the app to prevent these useless downloads?
If I don't like a wallpaper, is there a way in the app to skip this wallpaper? Could you make a widget to skip the current wallpaper?
Hello great app, a save option for saving wallpapers to phone will be great!
The auto download on wifi only toggle is missing on the Nexus 7 with 3G (tilapia).
And it seems to get pretty low res pictures for the Nexus 7 as well, not sure if it's better on the N4 because the screen is so much smaller, and my eyes ain't perfect.
Awesome
hi alinium, awesome app bro. just downloaded. works great on my S2. Thanks and good luck.:good:
for oficze
well this is nice
Thaaaaaaanks, but..
:highfive:Please give as the opition to choose wallpapers from galery:highfive:
Great app and nice job! Simple, clean and compact. I had been using foxsaver for years before they changed it all for the worst. It used to work like this and now its been whittled down to about 10 pics per week. At a point it updated pics every 3 minutes and rarely repeated itself. I still have a foxsaver cache of over 1000 pics that I use with other wallpaper switchers but I am sick of those pics already.
Yes, after looking at the same 1K pics for over a year you will get bored of them too. Kinda explains marrage and divorse, or getting bored of your favorite foods and past times, if you think about it. The human brain needs changing stimulii to keep it satisfied. I feel like I got back the old foxsaver here. Very nice. I missed the "fresh" new feel of constantly changing wallpaper and now its back on the stack.
*****************************************************************************
I found one problem and have another request. First problem is when you upload a pic to your dropbox, it has the SAME NAME as previously uploaded pics. In order to upload one pic you have to overwrite another you've already uploaded. Each pic should have a unique name, every time, every day, every week, etc. I should never have to overwrite a pic with another pic. And there is no way in your app to name the pics. They are named whatever flicker calls them so you will probably have to change this.
My request is to be able to save pics to local SD (or internal memory if I choose). There is no option for that in the share function.
Thank you for the initiative!!

Hi Chaoticaa, thanks for your interest in the app!

Click to collapse
It's designed this way so that you can see a new wallpaper whenever you go back to the home screen. If it waited till you were on the home screen before downloading a wallpaper, you would have to wait a while to see the actual results. Its very likely that you would have actually navigated away from the home screen by the time the wallpaper changed.
If you are concerned about bandwidth, you can use the option that only auto downloads new wallpapers over WiFi, or use a longer interval. I have mine set to 1 hour and I find it pretty good as I get to see a new wallpaper almost every time I pick up my phone.
If I don't like a wallpaper, is there a way in the app to skip this wallpaper? Could you make a widget to skip the current wallpaper?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can go into the app and press the big green button to get a new wallpaper. You can also re-select any wallpaper from the last 10 you had. I have plans to add either a widget or a low priority notification (or maybe both) which will let you do the same without having to go into the app in a future update. Also, in case you get some embarrassing wallpaper, you can long-tap it in the app and select 'Remove from History'.
When I first downloaded it I was using my Galaxy S3 which is running an AOSP AOKP ROM, however when I downloaded and tried it out on my Galaxy Note 2 which is running a Touchwiz ROM I don't see how to set the app to set both the Lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper. The app just sets the homescreen wallpaper.

You can use the share button in the app (turquoise colored button), to export the currently selected wallpaper to other apps on your device. This way you can save the picture somewhere on your phone.
You can also long-tap on a wallpaper thumbnail and then tap 'View Wallpaper' to see the original image on Flickr. You can then save the image from that website. Please be mindful of the image owner's copyright though - however its usually ok to keep the images for personal (non-commercial, non-promotional) use.

That's a good catch! I am hiding the option for devices that didn't support 3G. But Android doesn't provide a good way to detect these devices. So I was checking if the device supports phone functionality. However, it looks like tablets like yours will fail this test even though they support 3G functionality. I'll look into finding some better way to detect which devices have 3G capability. Look out for it in the next update

As for the resolution, the size of the images downloaded is related to the display size. The image size picked is always one that's larger than the screen's dimensions. However, care is taken not too choose something ridiculously larger as that would just be a bandwidth hog. Sometimes Flickr might not have the correct sized image, in which case a smaller resolution image has to be downloaded. But most of the time, you should be getting a high-res, crisp image.

Thanks for trying out the app IvanAugustoBD! But I wonder if you're missing out on the point of the app. As elfaure mentions in his post, the idea of the app is to keep providing a fresh stream of images to keep your visual senses stimulated at all time. This is hard to do if you keep seeing images from a pre-determined set. The advantage of using Flickr is that you get an endless stream of new gorgeous images.
Having said that, I realize that some people might prefer seeing the same set of images e.g. if it is pictures of their loved ones. But truthfully, this sort of feature is very low on my list.
If this is truly what you want, you might be able to find other apps in the store that cycle through images in your own photo gallery. But I believe you will have a better experience using Gainos than those apps.

I feel like I got back the old foxsaver here. Very nice. I missed the "fresh" new feel of constantly changing wallpaper and now its back on the stack.

Right on! This was my main motivation for making this app.

I found one problem and have another request. First problem is when you upload a pic to your dropbox, it has the SAME NAME as previously uploaded pics. In order to upload one pic you have to overwrite another you've already uploaded. Each pic should have a unique name, every time, every day, every week, etc. I should never have to overwrite a pic with another pic. And there is no way in your app to name the pics. They are named whatever flicker calls them so you will probably have to change this.

This should be pretty easy to do. In my next update I'll make it so that the images have unique names. I'll probably use the current date/time for the image name.

My request is to be able to save pics to local SD (or internal memory if I choose). There is no option for that in the share function.

The share function is handled by the Android system itself. It does looks like they don't provide any functionality to save images directly to sd card. I'll take a look at what other possibilities exist. For the time being, you're best off saving them to some other app like Dropbox or Google Drive.

When I first downloaded it I was using my Galaxy S3 which is running an AOSP AOKP ROM, however when I downloaded and tried it out on my Galaxy Note 2 which is running a Touchwiz ROM I don't see how to set the app to set both the Lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper. The app just sets the homescreen wallpaper.

I've had a few Galaxy Note 2 users complain about this issue. They all seem to be using Samsung's TouchWiz. I looked into it and found out that Samsung has modified the Android API functionality in Touchwiz so that the wallpaper changing function only changes the home screen wallpaper. In all likelihood they have a separate function for setting the lock screen wallpaper, but it is not documented any where and Samsung has said that they do not make it public either. So the way it stands right now, there is no way I can fix this issue.
