Magic Fluids is a beautiful fluid simulation that you initiate and drive with your touch.
It enables creativity and allows to relax and enjoy smooth fluid motion.
Key features:
- Highly configurable fluid behaviour and look
- 10 configuration presets - if you're lazy
- You can save your own presets
- Multitouch controls
- Smoke and water animation
- Thousands of particles moving with the fluid
- You can pause the animation anytime and save screenshots
- You can use Magic Fluids as a regular app or as a Live Wallpaper
- Highly optimized, multiple quality settings for wide range of devices
Fluids of multiple colors mix and create beautiful patterns. Particles are a great addition to visuals.
It features two animation modes: smoke (classic) and water. The second one is not really a water - it's a little fake (as everything in computer graphics anyway), but behaves really differently than smoke - pressure and movement propagate through in a real liquid-like manner.
It has lots of configuration options and a great thing is, you can edit options and see changes instantly, because settings window AND fluid simulation are visible and active at the same time.
You can set fluid amount, fade speed, color palettes (or random colors) and a few more. The same for particles.
It also has mutiple fluid presets that present configuration diversity, if you don't want to manipulate settings manually.
There is a possibility to save your own presets, too.
I spend quite a lot of time on optimization. Add multiple quality options and you have an app that should work great on a wide range of devices.
I've added QR code to make it easier for you to find my app.
If you have any questions or comments, I'll be happy to answer.

Very nice work just had a play around and have already set it as my permanent wallpaper. Definitely need a top notch phone to have at full quality settings. Very beautiful.
Good job!

Thanks a lot for your comment!
Guys, I'm looking for more feedback and suggestions, since I want to make Magic Fluids better and suit you as well as possible.
I've added more and better quality screenshots and QR code. Searching Google Play for "Magic Fluids" gives correct result on the first position too.
This thing is sick! Seems like it doesn't kill battery like normal lwps! Thanks.

How many cores can this app make use of?
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and I wasn't able to put the quality as high as I'd anticipated. I know the 4412 isn't the most powerful chip available anymore, same goes for the GPU, but I thought I could do better than, "The Jury's Still Out" with no paint, full line particles at minimum lifetime and size.

Thanks for your comment.
App uses as many cores as you have. The highest settings however, are not supposed to work well with any of the devices currently available. They were rather thought to serve as the "Holy Grail" of performance. But you're already the second person disappointed that can't use highest settings on their high-end devices, so I might remove one or two of them.
This sometimes crashes my Galaxy Y making me remove the battery, then it corrupts the partition.
What am I doing wrong?
Am I overheating it? (This app makes it a bit hotter)

Hey,
thanks a lot for your report. What do you mean by corrupting the partition? I hope you didn't lose any data!
I had some issues on my Galaxy Y some time ago during development, but I was pretty sure they were gone.
You're not doing anything wrong. The general problem is immense segmentation of Android devices along with multiple system versions, both stock and custom. It's basically impossible to make it work on every combination device + system under the sun.
But - enough moaning. What system version are you using? Does it happen only in wallpaper mode? If so, does it happen in any specific situations, like changing orientation? Would you be willing to install debug version of the app I would send to you and make some effort to crash it again and send me the results back? (it would probably mean extracing some file from sdcard and sending it to me - I'm not sure yet, since I don't have such version yet )

Im using the 2.3.5 default firmware.
It corrupts the partition because I remove the battery with the system on, but nothing important.
I think this is caused by the heat, it always happens when the device is hot.
Also, one thing I noted:
-Red screen (It turns back to normal after a few moments, probably because of some OpenGL problem).
Also, if you want, you can send me the debug app.

If it happens to you with other apps as well, then it's probably possible. App squeezes as much as it can from the device. I might add some optional FPS limit, but on not very strong device like Galaxy Y you probably don't have much FPS anyway, unless you're using first or second quality setting.
I'll think about this for a moment and I might contact you. Thanks a lot for your help!
One more important question you missed from my previous post.

Happens in both modes.
As i said, it seems to be a heat issue. Since it works for some minutes, then stops the cellphone, thus making me remove he battery and corrupting the system.
Also, thanks for the quick awnsers! A+ dev and support!
EDIT:After some more testing, it seems to be the wallpaper mode.

Sorry for taking so much time to get back to you. Guess I might lose that good grade.
However, I might have some good news. Magic Fluids is updated to version 1.1 and one of the features is framerate limit option, which might (or might not) help for overheating issue.
Full list of changes:
- Added automatic drawing sources - it's great for Live Wallpaper!
- Added two new presets that show automatic drawing in action
- Added framerate limit option for battery saving
- Fixed bug with saved images showing in Gallery with delay
- Removed highest quality setting, since no one was able to use it anyway
Check it out on Google Play!

Hi. That's great! Entire wallpaper module was rewritten, so that's probably it.
Before the update however I had to exclude some devices in Developers Console - Galaxy Y, Ace, Pocket, Mini, because a few people reported really serious problems with them, like device going into bootloop. The update probably fixes this, but I haven't had the courage yet to enable those devices again.
Did you installed the update through Google Play? I was curious whether excluding a device from supported devices after someone downloaded it, will allow him to install further updates.

Hey now,
I was fed up with the privacy violations, bloat, instability, and general stupid functionality of Android browsers. I decided to make my own. Introducing...
Naked Browser
TRUST: Right permissions with no spying.
SPEED: No bloat, including minimal GUI candy.
FEATURES: Crash restore, undo close tab, one finger zoom, infinite tabs, and more.
FREE: As in no cost. Not even any ads.
Here's the web site: http://nakedbrowser.com/android/
I've been working on this for the past few months. I've been quite meticulous when trying to focus on speed and avoiding bloat. As a result, it isn't the prettiest app in the world. However, please know that most of my effort went under the hood. Stability and a rich feature set mean more to me than eye candy.
Interesting concept. Must say, its REAL FAST
Inspite of all this, I would just advise some UI enhancements, thats it. Else it is a nearly perfect browser.
Oh, forgot to mention but the icon looks kind of old, how about adding a new trendy one? :thumbup:
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
It looks ok, though I cannot use it with this GUI mate... Looks fugly...
Would be the perfect browser If ui were tuned up a little bit... Will keep it installed to check for any updates
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks guys. I'm really happy to read that it's real fast and it would be the perfect browser.
I focused as close to 0% on the UI as possible. Honestly, that was a goal. My top priorities were speed, stability, and functionality/features. In fact, unless I forget something, other than the blue color I added the entire UI is based on function alone. I even resisted adding the button icons but it actually took time to read the labels to figure out what to do so I added them.
I even wanted to go with the generic default "andy the android" application icon but instead opted to draw my own globe from memory in about 3 minutes in GIMP. So, it's not an old icon! It's new!!! ;-P And obviously I'm no illustrator.
The UI shows my dedication to making it function properly rather than look beautiful. It's like Apache or something. The interface isn't beautiful--just a config file in Apache's case--but it works like a champ. Sometimes when you focus first on the way it looks (Microsoft?), you end up with a pile of doo doo. I prefer it to look crappy but run great. Later it can look and run great.
Anyway, thanks for checking it out. I'm still improving it so keep it installed if you like. You might find yourself using it, you might end up thinking it's beautiful, but either way it will improve.

Hope to see next version if possible maybe with modern icon
Keep the good job

Thanks for the app, it loads fast and i actually like the UI, it's kinda cute :angel: . Any plan for urlfilter like in opera mobile, so I can block ad locally?
Really fast browser! The UI is sooooo sick!!!
But I found that the bookmarks and history on the start page are not support unicode languages, such as Chinese...
And is there a history page? Seems not. I can only access to history on the start page...
If there's a history menu or it can show the history inside bookmark page would be nice.
The rest is fantastic!

Yeah, right? It’s cute! Sure. Anyway, I would love adblock but it isn’t easy. I do not access transferred data so I can’t tell what’s an ad. I can imagine a few ways to access the data and filter it, so I’m keeping it in mind. Pro version.

I made some small tweaks so the next version might look a teensy bit better. If there’s anything really odd like labels that aren’t on buttons then let me know. Otherwise, I’m focusing on my goals for the app and “make shiny” is not at the top of the list right now.
Many people say that it looks horrible, and I agree. However, they need to know that I’m focusing all of my time on features, speed, and stability. Adding some graphics or making a more complicated UI are just going to take me away from working on stuff under the hood AND slow the browser down/eat up RAM. I have a little background with cars. First let’s get it running, then we can paint the thing. That being said, any feedback is encouraged so just keep it coming!

Ever wanted to launch that fancy Daydream screensaver easier? In your Android 4.2+ device's settings, you are only given the options to launch Daydream while docked or while charging.
Now, there is an easier way simply to launch Daydream, right from your home screen, no matter if you are docked, charging, or neither. Just press the icon, and Daydream will start.
I have heard a few people ask for such a shortcut, so I made this; if you have any suggestions or problems to report, please let me know. Also, this is ad-free and requires no permissions.
Google Play link: http://bit.ly/XuPPmv
Also, if you want the source, I will look into putting that up somewhere, too, but it really is a simple shortcut application.
Last thing: if anybody wants to make the feature and/or promo graphics for the app on Google Play, post them here, and I will probably use them.
I hope this shortcut helps somebody out there!

I know this is no excuse, but I have been really busy. However, I got going this week, and have looked into adding more features.
The popular request seems to be for the daydream to start when the screen becomes idle. Well, I have included that, kind of. Some of the features I have added were hard to do, given the way that daydream was set up by Google. There will be a Daydream Launcher Plus app for 99 cents on Google Play that includes many new features and will help to further my development. Also, the current free app will be getting a minor performance update. I hope you enjoy whichever app you choose to use! And, I love all feedback, good and bad (but constructive ).

I know this is an older post but wanted to point out that modern led screens are very very hard to burn and it would take years n years of a solid non moving image to burn in, long after you would have retired most phones. Have you ever seen an image burned into any phone?

I have the Samsung Captivate with the Super AMOLED screen. Apparently some image burn in can occur, as I set power amp music player screen to not turn off when playing, and after not even that much use (maybe more than i realized), leaving it on in the car sometimes, now when it's a solid screen, such as solid grey, I can lightly see the buttons (play, rewind, fast forward, etc.) burned in, so wanted to avoid further burn in.
Great app
I just try it and can say that is great app. It is be more better if you make that daydream app start when screen in idle. That be perfect. Thanks again for your work.

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.

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!

Ahh excellent! I'm still using the app, looking forward to the update!
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would love to resolve the force close issue, Can you tell me if you are rooted or not?
Anyone else getting force close while using color picker?

I can't understand why you get so little feedback for your app!? It works like a charm on my Nexus 5 and it has a great design. Thanks!
Looks interesting!
Works like a charm
I used the apk provided (version 1.6). All tools provided work well on my N4 :good: . Non rooted and running vanilla android. Particularly I love the compass. So simple and functional. No issues with the color picker too. Those having issues with the color picker can try using the apk provided in one of the previous threads in this conv. Also, try restarting your device once. Restarts work like a charm in resolving most issues.
This app help fix SIII Gyroscope accuracy or just let me see the sensors?Please can you add calibrate or i need to send my SIII to repair?
Hi,
Just bought the Pro version as I am impressed with your work
Do you plan to add multi-core infos (activities, frequencies,...) ?
Is there a way to record all the infos ? Live or in background ?
It can be interresting to record infos (bearing, GPS, Gyroscope) in, for exemple, CVS format.
A possible use would be recording a car race and get stats by lap
It could be usefull too to record frequencies of CPUs.
I tested all functions and all work flawlessly on my Xperia Z (see details in my signature).
Just noticed it is possible to stop sampling by touching the screen but cannot resume sampling the same way...
BTW : if you need translation in French, feel free to send a list
BTW (bis) : Congrats, you made it to XDA Portal !!!
I am working on a recording feature but it will take some time as my main priority currently is for fixing bugs on some devices and optimizing for tablets.
Also stop sampling is a way to review the sensor values on tap however it is impossible to resume the values from there tapping again to resume will reset the graph to initial values so that why I didn't integrate it.
Thanks for your feedback.
Great app! It will replace my 2-3 app I am used too.
Could it be possible to add a black font option (amoled-battery-use-wise)?
Thanks
very cool
I just started using this, very nice. It works on my galaxy tab 3 7.0 with Goodness ROM but not on my HTC ONE running ViperOne. The HTC is where I really want to use it but it uses a custom kernel. I will send them a message about it but I dont know how much they will do, they are some busy people working on a great ROM. Nice app for anyone who never has enough information about their device!

Maybe people dont know about it. I just happened to read the article on XDA which I almost never do. Also a lot of people are using custom kernels. If they get the message about contacting rom developer they may not go any further. I am not sure what needs to done by the developer to get this app to work with their custom kernals but it would be cool. Im sure they get tons of requests.
Maybe something else could be causing the issue on HTC one with custom kernel?
There shouldnt be a issue with app not working with custom kernels.
Anyone else can confirm if they are able to use to use the app with custom kernels?
App works great on custom rom and kernel. Also using xprivacy and we'll obviously app needs access to sensors but no problem or fcs. Haven't used color picker yet (kinda not sure what it's for but I'll just play around I just downloaded it) great work!
Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks
What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.
Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?
I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.

It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.
I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.
