Update 7/25/2102: I released a new version today guys. I added a fullscreen mode and a bunch of custom frames. Enjoy!
Update 8/4/2012: I pushed out another new version today. I added Non-Mirror Mode and made a few tweaks to the layout of the menus. There is now the ability to choose themes and I also added a dedicated link to NexusTablets.net in my info dialog. Snapshots coming soon. Hope you like it!

All the features work on Transformer TF101 but I've noticed black and white bars at the top and sometimes the bottom of the image. It varies in size depending on the view from what I can tell and remains there when changing frames and themes. I can provide pictures if you would like. Not complaining, just reporting Great job on the app.

Thanks Smithchipz! It was a bit of a pain trying to come up with a way to make the camera preview fit on every screen without changing the aspect ratio. I need to work a little on my code, but I need some time with different devices to figure out the the best way. Each device reports a list of camera preview sizes to my app and my app chooses the largest one(well it's supposed to anyway). I've noticed the way devices reports the sizes is different from phone to phone. My nexus7 lists the sizes in ascending order, the GNex in descending. It sounds like on the transformer, it's choosing a size that is not the largest. So far, I've only personally tested this app on the Nexus7 and the GNex. Thanks again and hopefully I'll get that issue figured out soon.
BTW: If it's not too much trouble, screenshots would be great. Thanks!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the app. If you have any issues, please let me know. I've had to rely on users to get all the bugs figured out. Thanks guys!

Thanks Kame_boy! I've sent you a PM to get more details.
Released the last update for this weekend, I promise. The kinks should be worked out.
Pushed a new update today. Snapshot mode for paid users and extra frames for free users! Spanish and German are now supported languages. Bug reporting has been improved. Thanks!
Minor update
Updated to include more languages. As of now, German, Spanish, French, Korean, and Japanese are supported languages. Enjoy!
2.1 is out! I've added zoom controls, a photobooth mode and a bunch of other stuff. Hope you guys enjoy it!
2.13 should be live very soon. I think the white/black screen bug that was affecting some users should be fixed with this update. This update brings support for 4.2 devices as well. Enjoy!
Back to work on the app! The new version (2.2) of Front Camera Mirror will split the frames away from the main app. This will result in a smaller overall size for the base app and will allow users to customize the frames that they want on the app by simply downloading the add on packs. I spent the day designing some new frames for the packs. I'm also looking into implementing a camera lag feature which would allow for a quick glance at the back of one's head. I will keep you all updated. Thanks!
Front Camera Mirror has hit 50,000 downloads this week. Thanks to everyone for all your support. The new version, 2.2, is now up on the Android Play Store. I will be getting the Amazon Appstore version up shortly. I have also been working on a website for wckd Dev if anyone wants to check it out. Thanks guys and, as always, let me know if you have any problems!
All new images for the app stores!
100,000 Downloads!! Pinch to zoom and pause mode added. Thanks for all the support guys!
How come such apps aren't made for Gingerbread? What possible ICS/JB components could this app require, that GB cannot deliver? Not being an ass, just wondering, really.

Sorry for the huge delay in response. I used a TextureView in the app in order to display the camera preview. Using the TextureView makes it very easy to manipulate the output (resizing, mirroring and flipping the image) and unfortunately it is only available in API 14 (ICS) and above. It could be made to work with GB, but I just don't have the time or a GB device to test with. Sorry.

Original first post:
I wrote my first live wallpaper today because I did not find something like it and thought it should not be too difficult to do. So here it is. I always wanted a real live wallpaper displaying something from the web instead of just a picture or offline animation. For me it is really useful because I can keep an eye on my favourite webcam over the day and decide to go there if the conditions stay or improve. A lot of other use cases should be possible ...
There is now also a picture frame app and a live widget included (also running on devices without live wallpaper support).

Noone else thinking this is a great idea?
This enables you to get an automated cycling flickr-Wallpaper, the National Geographic Pic of the Day automatically on your homescreen. Or the latest News-Picture, or your wallpapers from many image galleries. And of course webcams ... and so on. I think this freedom and possibilities is what makes Android so great!
New version with asynchronous loading, much improved website parsing. Still a lot to do (performance, widget, website redirects supported, better organisation of links and settings, ...) and so little time. But I really think this one has to appeal to some more people than just on a few sports-forums I read/post where people enjoy watching webcams!?!

I'll def give this a try!
this is awesome! thank you..
This seems a brilliant yet simple idea and seems to be well done. I will give this a try but its not realy for me as i dont have a data plan and only really use my wifi at home to connect so the updates on the pic would not be frequent enough.....maybe one day I will treat myself.
Thanks for your hard work
Def. bookmarked for later use. Very good idea.
New version 0.84 with optimizations and better gallery support
Loading is faster now (and you can enable a progress bar if you are curious/need to know).
I also added an option to dig into picture galleries (load the large version of the image which looks much better as a wallpaper on highres phones).
For the next update I am working on cycling the gallery pictures instead of using the most recent "best" one so there will be even more Live for more 'static' webpages.
New apk attached to first post!
Awesome. Thanks!

Version 0.9
Has a lot of changes (hopefully good ones) with the loading and gallery stuff and a LOT of options to set everything fine.
For example WIFI exclusive updating has been added! Also the quick selections have presets now to explain useful settings for your sites ...
Still a lot to do. Next will be password protected webcam/server access.
0.9.1 fixes some things
no more default WIFI-only enabled (red screen if mobile at first start)
fixes of parameters for some quick selection items
no more crashes with wrong/incomplete URLs entered by hand
0.91 ... watch xdadevelopers (or other website) live on your homescreen background
See last screenshot attached to first post It's a hack (web snapshot) I may regret/have to replace by something else later and not fast. But should be ok for a lot of use cases.
And a lot of more serious updates like a sorted settings menu, access to standard password protected servers/cams, better gallery updating with long refresh times.
Edit: v0.91.1 can now be opened after install/in market for all those people not knowing what a wallpaper is!
Taking a look at this on my sgs!!
Dev, you should have more confidence in patience, it's a great idea ;-). I typically wait until things hit the RSS, so I'm sure you'll see a little spike since it just came up in the past 20 minutes.
Good luck! I do have a question, have you judged the battery life impact? I did see the custom refresh rate option, but still I am curious to see what impact it had on both your idle and active battery life stats if you update as often as a regular widget since it'll probably download more data.
Suggestions: Be able to set up a schedule
Preferably with different settings for different days. For instance, M-F have it set to use pic of the day with an update every 24 hours, then on weekends have it set up to show a web/weathercam every 15 mins.
Also, being able to set it, instead of every X seconds, being able to set it to update maybe 3x on M-F would help out in a few cases. Example, to see a traffic or weather cam just before going to/from work.
Good luck, I look forward to seeing what you do with it, I'll let you know my findings.

all i can say is AMAZING
and also FOOTBALL scores as my live wallpaper FTW
come on you POOL!
Very nice. Works pretty well.
It would be real nice if you could get the picture to use the whole screen. Not sure if you are constrained by the site of course but I want to use this on my Archos 101 and it has a 1024X600 resolution so I get a lot of black bars.
Thank you for making this available.
Good idea.
How is on battery life though?
Very interested to see where this goes. Great idea IMHO. Subscribed.
Nice work.
Nice work. While trying this out, I ran across an issue. I accidentally the refresh time. If you enter nothing for the refresh time, it will force close (v0.91.2).
Great idea
Think of busy parents whose kids are in a daycare with kiddie cameras...live feed of your baby !
Awesome app. Ive bben wanting something like this for a while. Maybe could add some battery saving settings. thank you !!!!!!!

Initial impression is that its very confussing and difficult to use... it took me a while to work out what I was looking at. Don't get the widget folder as it negates what a widget is. I do like the potential concept, but this really needs a lot more thought into user experience.
To start with look at changing the folder controls to make them easier to select.
This is a very original approach and I'll going to watch this one with interest...

Often only shows black screen on HTC legend.
The dock icons are too big and there is hardly any customization possible.
But it is a really interesting idea and different from other launcher. I'll stay tuned.

Unless I'm missing something the only place to add widgets is in the folder at the top of the screen. This limited the use of widgets... for example if I add a 2x2 clock thats all I can see and use unless I expand the folder. This is compounded by the difficulty in using the folder controls. Widgets are supposed to provide quick and easy access and viewing of apps and info you use most, currently this is lost in Claystone... If you could make widget use a little more traditional it would go a long way...
Like I said previously though the whole user experience would be vastly improved if you added larger controls to the folders making it quick and easy to expand/close etc.
Like ms_green says the dock is a little large and it makes the screen feel a little cramped.
A very short review, sorry for being blunt:
* On my Droid Incredible: great, now applications are even smaller/hard to read. UI is not very responsive. Toolbar buttons are too small but making them any bigger would mean even less real estate.
* Tablet: Ooooh now you're talking! The layout makes much more sense, especially in landscape mode. This is actually getting closer to WebOs' take on multitasked UI.
I think this app has a great future on tablets.

This is great!!! VERY GOOD!!! the concept is amazing
things u might want to improve:
The loading speed of panels are slow. Even opening the appdrawer takes no less than 3 seconds, not to mention browser etc
When u scroll vertically but a bit sideways on a panel it just pops u into another panel, very excruciating
Panels. seriously, all u can have is a home panel and a widget panel? i want to make my own (not just folders) for example media, games etc
"items" u can add. to be honest all there is is file explorer, browser and youtube (not to mention the youtube one really sucks). U need more of these "items", but i understand this is a beta
lol no offense
I could see this possibly having potential on a bigger screen, like a tablet maybe. But as it stands things feel too cramped on my 3.7 inch screen. Also things are a bit slow atm.
It's an interesting concept, but implemented in a moderately confusing fashion. The widget box resizes widgets oddly, making things look bulky, etc.
Great idea, though.
Opening the inbuilt contacts force closes the app for me.
But apart from that, a brilliant concept! I can't wait for new additions! Great job

You can create more panels ("folders") as well, you can copy and paste any item in any panel. In our next drop we are going to make it simple by adding applications to the "create" menu.

Great app! Very unique, I love it! Keep up the good work my man
Hey,
great idea!
Taking screens and analyizing colors seems to work for me, but upon saving and sharing, app crashes .
(replace 'xx' with 'tt', since i can't post links yet)
Log for save-crash:
hxxp://pastebin.com/9FhrUMNc
Log share-crash:
hxxp://pastebin.com/XB3U6xVE
Suggestion(s):
- change camera overlay (the bright rectangle in camera view)'s size, so that it reflects the number of pixels being analyized. (e.g. 1px analyzed: only cross, 144px -> 12*12 rectangle, 2500px = 50*50rectangle (you get the point )
- make color values selectable (text), so you can copy/paste them somewhere else.
Besides that, great concept, icon is ok aswell .
Cheers!
EDIT:
almost forgot:
phone: Samsung Galaxy S2
android: 2.3.3

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback and the logcat! I'll look into the issues you're getting. I assume you are using a different locale than en_CA or en_US (as it appears you are from Germany), and that's where the share issue is coming from. I was considering having the size change for the overlay, I think that'll be a definite feature now.
As for the save error, I'm confused. The logs don't appear to be showing me anything. Everything seems to be going fine and then suddenly my Activity is force finished. I'll need to do some more investigating in that department.
EDIT: The share logcat confuses me as well, even though I'm sure I know what the issue is. I think the developer of your ROM has set the log level to very low.
Yep locale setting seems to be the problem. After switching it from de_DE to en_US saving and sharing are working fine.
Seems like everything from verbose upwards is being logged, i could give you a filtered log if needed?
(Fyi it's the stock rom if thats any helpful)

That's alright. If changing the locale solved the issue, then the locale is the problem
Would you be so kind as to post some screenshots of the app in order to entice users?
Thanks!
I'll try to get some screenshots as soon as possible, unfortunately my phone's battery exploded. I have a new one on the way and it should be here in the coming days. If anyone else would like to post some screenshots they're welcome to!
(I've tried to take some through the emulator, but they don't work because a) I'm testing a camera-oriented app on the camera-less emulator, and b) the camera uses a surface which updates while the screenshot is being taken so they end up breaking.)

Great App ideia, will follow this one up close congrats man
this is a great app idea but fc's on my droid incredible. i would love to have this app too.
Problem parsing the package

Post added to the XDA front page. Hope this gets your great app some exposure.
Shoudn't you have some way to calibrate the colors with a graycard? A color is highly dependent on the light that is emitted on it. A red object in daylight will give a diferent color than the same red object in fluorescent TL light...
@dirtsky are you using the en_US or en_CA locale?
@marko! I would suggest trying to redownload, I haven't heard of this issue as of yet.
@willverduzco thanks! There have been 300 downloads since last night thanks to the article!
@michaelarnauts I'm aware, but the thing is, LifeDropper is designed to capture colours as they are seen. If you see a colour under light, LifeDropper is viewing it in the same light.
An update that fixes the saving/sharing FC (due to locale) is now in the first post.
Wow, wonderful application! Working great on stock Droid Incredible... Few force closures now and then but still very useful!
@Cellulah is there any way you could provide a logcat for the FCs you're getting?
This is really cool. I bet someday you could do live updating with histogram data in the camera view!
Sent from my Thunderbolt das BAMF remix
@rycheme glad you like the concept! Awesome idea! I'm looking into doing capturing without having to take a picture (like Barcode Scanner).
Remember, if you like the app, mash the share button!
The next update will include linking to the currently under-construction LifeDropper site for the share feature, so the link at the end will be a link to your colour.
i'm sure i'm not alone on this... I'd really appreciate it if my camera could focus on the middle portion before taking the picture....
i would also really love this if there was a way to calibrate this stuff... maybe print out
100% cyan box... 100% Magenta.....100% Yellow... and whatever other colour might be necessary...
by the way ... this is an amazing App!!!
If it comes to the market ...i'll definitely buy it...

Nice app. I like the clean UI.
Nice app, has a lot of potential!
Keep Going!
Good work, keep going
Tried a few similar apps like this one in the past... Definitely like this one the most. However, one feature that I wish was added is the ability to add our own, custom icons. Will that feature ever be included in the feature?

I missed this post, sorry for a late reply...
Well, I appreciate your help but right now I'm not thinking about translations. It would probably help me and more people would probably use it...
But...
I have lots of features planned and lots of releases will come in the near future, it would be a pain to maintain translations done by other people. I would have to wait for them to finish their translation before being able to release a new version.
For now, I want to avoid that. When the app reaches a more mature state, I'll think about adding a couple more languages.
Again, thanks for your help anyway.
Is there any updates for this app?

I'm looking for someone fluent in Spanish to help me with the UI translations along with the Google Play page information.
Is anyone out there fluent in Spanish that uses my app and wants to help me out?
I am close to releasing my Image Editor for Android called ImageFactory.
I am thinking of releasing a version without SPen libraries on the Play Store and another with the SPen libraries (much larger) on the Samsung App store.
Any ideas on if this is a good idea?
The SPen libraries really add to the size of the app.
Anyway, the app is a Photo Editor with paint tools, filter tools, and multiple floating layers including Image Layers, Text Layers, and Vector Layers.
The SPen support includes hover emulating moving the virtual mouse (a float brush icon that is see through when trimming layers) and uses the button on the pen to emulate left button/right button by click, letting you change from fore-ground color to back-ground color, as well as toggle between trimming layers by brush and untrimming layers by brush.
It supports large heap (meaning huge multi-mega-pixel images).
It has an image surface on the left, a toolbar on the top right, and a scroll pad/mouse pad on the bottom right.
It only needs some more icons and a little more debugging.
Any interest?
UPDATED: 12/16/2012 with latest version
UPDATED: 12/24/2012 with latest version with bug fixes and improved help
UPDATED: 12/30/2012 with possible release candidate with more features and bug fixes. View source of vector works, 2nd click on edit text now brings up soft keyboard. Toggle pan view and trackpad put on edit ribbon.
UPDATED: 1/1/2012 extended beta good till march, took out full screen so title bar with menu button shows. menu has undo/redo zooms trackpad or panview.
UPDATED: 1/6/2012 with fixes to properly stopping background thread (which caused problems on 2nd+ runs) and added action bar with undo and zoom in/out icons

I don't use the Samsung app store since it is limited to Samsung devices, so would appreciate having the compatible version with the Samsung libraries on Google Play, as well. Otherwise it won't be on my short list. Many thanks.
great !
but please not the samsung store ..
It's limited to a very few countries ..
I think it is better to put it in XDA forum as a triad first.
we can be ur tester
idea ?:good:

It's actually close enough to being released. Maybe I will do a version good till the end of the year.
I've been working on on android for a year but on windows for several.
I am thinking of making it free but with an in app purchase to unlock layers.
What do people think?
I also think the ui is worth trying to protect. Maybe a patent.

Since the spen libraries are so large, I don't know if want to release just the one version. Maybe I can release two versions on the App Store.

Definitely release both versions, just please release it through Google.
Can you make a portion of the screen like the bottom half ignore the hand while keeping the working area free to move around and zoom in and out with buttons. I seems that should be much easier than trying to work with palm rejection?

I feel like that would just mean the app won't utilize the difference between the spen and capacitive stylii. I mean, the whole reason I stopped using my adonit jot was because I didn't like having to keep my palm off the screen, or only leaving my palm on one part of the screen..

It would allow the app to be used with devices that do not have the palm rejection of the GNote10 and since the palm rejection does not really work that well even in S-Note it would offer an improved writting experience with the GNote10. The S-Pen will always write better than any capacitive pen even the Adonit Jot Pro which I also have and like but not for the GNote10 because of how much better the S-Pen is.
ID say play store for sure for both versions . Maybe a beta here on. Xda before final release. Also ID say make a free version with as many good features as possible then an unlock version to unlock only the most advances user features not everyone might use....

I am thinking i am going to try to build a beta this weekend and put it up here. Probably with all features except with an expiry date and maybe take out saving in jpeg and png.
How do i post the file if i do it that way?
Then the releave version will be free but with layers requiring an in-app purchase to unlock.

I'd still allow saving png or jpeg in beta but go with an expiration date ... then for your final version I'd maybe include 2 layers or even 3 in free but allow many more in the paid version. Maybe a few other advanced features can only be included in the paid as well

Just an idea for you on the palm rejection bit. In lecture notes you can basically turn off inputs other than the stylus for certain (almost all) tasks. I find this to work really well actually. Currently the only things i allow touch inputs on are the tool bar items. I prefer this method personally as i have had palm rejection issues in apps that only reject when the pen is in range.
That's my idea.

I have a custom file format that keeps the layers seperate that i plan on leaving in. So you can still save your work but i dont risk losing future sales.
Maybe the free version will allow layers but not let you paste them (for when saving as a jpeg and gif).
SO MANY DECISIONS! This is why i am having trouble releasing this on the market! (that and icons).

Lol, you may have to re-think the layers and pasting bit, the note can take excellent screen shots!

I'm constantly disappointed by the amount of developer interest in android tablet apps. iPad gets all the love. That's why I'll support any developer who makes good apps for Android.
I'll be the first to buy your app when released.
But please make a vector graphic app

I have a version ready to release as Beta!
But... i cannot seem to get Proguard to let me build a release version with the SPen libraries!
I keep getting an error about samsung.sdraw.CanvasView missings fields android.text.Layout$Alignment ALIGN_LEFT and ALIGN_RIGHT and void setCursorColor(int).
I found a page about this on samsung's board but the fix has no effect for me.
I don't know what to do. Has anyone ran into this problem before? Who do i contact for more support?
Does anyone want a beta without the SPEN functionality?
