Hi,
I have a little problem with the blinkfeed. Blinkfeed doesnt show any of my pictures. It shows news and social like I want it, but no gallery pics.
Two facts:
1) Yes, I activated gallery as an App, like I did with my calender (works) and Facebook (works)
2) Yes, the slider in the venom tweaks content ratio setting is at a high ratio.
(See the two screenshots attached)
The funny thing regarding 2) is, that if I set the slider for "news" and "social" to zero (so that local media is at 100%) blinkfeed will be empty except for calendar entries.
thanks for your help,
Rob

I will update this post later tonight with screen shots of my favorit widgets. I want this post to include peoples favorit widgets, a description on that or those widgets(sometimes pictures arnt self explanitory). Also what launcher you are using may or may not be neccessary.
Thanks, Thomas
P.S. I will update this in a few hours with my favorit widgets and descriptions on them widgets. Just trying to get the ball rolling already because its mid day here and widgets are a hot topic for people not using sense. Also mods if there is already a post like this you can delet this post.
I'm using the paid version LauncherPro Plus, and heres the widgets I like:
The People widget that LPP includes
Fancy Widget (identical to the htc time/weather widget)
Pandora Widget (pandora radio)
Pure Grid Calendar
Switch Pro (has about everything you could want to see and/or toggle on/off, including 4G, vibrate, battery % remaining, brightness, flashlight, wifi, gps, etc.)
Twidroid
Androidlet Photo Widget (lets you show photos from a variety of sources (think photo.net, pbase, webshots, flickr, picasa, sdcard, etc.) , rotates them based on set time you specify)
Also heres a cool little read:

I like what they wrote here:
Enter DoubleTwist. It looks like iTunes, runs on Windows and Mac machines, and syncs with most or all Android phones, just like iTunes syncs with iPhones. It slurps all of your music and video files from iTunes, and even pulls up your iTunes playlists. (If you're like me, this is of utmost importance.) DoubleTwist has Amazon's music store and Android's app market built in, and it even notifies you when you have music files that aren't compatible with it, because of Apple copy protection. It's not perfect, but it's a huge step forward for a platform that needs a better media juggler. Best of all, there's a DoubleTwist app for the phone itself, so you can easily find videos, albums and playlists. And did I mention it's free?

You mean Twidroyd? lol anyways, can i get a screenshot of LPP and fancy widget, also where i can find them as i didnt see them in the market.
widgets
I like the moreicons widget, so dope keeps any necessary icons on the home page. Running launcher pro w/ 3D, so I have no need for more than 1 screen!
Also have Divi Clock
I developed an alternative to hugely popular Multipicture Live Wallpaper application. It is more simple to use with fewer customization options but with some added features too.
This Live Wallpaper displays photos downloaded from popular 500px photography site. You can also use your local albums.
Photos can be displayed in following ways:
■ Multipicture - different photo for every screen
■ Collage - several photos arranged in a collage
■ Classic - one photo across all screens
Photos can be selected by several criteria:
■ 500px category
■ User tags
■ Current weather at your location
■ Color
■ Local albums
There are many customization options: change interval, minimal 500px rating, gap size, borders toggle...
If you leave double tap enabled you have a quick way to access preferences, immediately change photos and view or share the photo on which you tapped.
Package: com.cloudwalk.lwwp (for use on Play Store)
All feedback is very welcome!
nice work keep it up i m download now and try tell u soon any bug or other grate work
thanks for a brilliant app!
New version
I'm not able to change attachment for first post so:
I added more options so here is the new description and apk:
This Live Wallpaper displays photos downloaded from popular photography sites: 500px, Instagram and Panoramio. You can also use your local albums.
Photos can be displayed as:
■ Multipicture - different photo for each screen
■ Collage - several photos arranged in a collage
■ Classic - one photo across all screens
Photos can be selected by:
■ 500px categories
■ 500px author
■ User tags
■ Current weather at your location
■ Color
■ Panoramio
■ Instagram
■ Local albums
There are many customization options for each selection.
Choose actions for double-tap and two-finger tap:
■ Change photo
■ Change all photos
■ View photo in full screen
■ Bring up options dialog with more quick functions: change fit mode, share photo, open preferences dialog...
MC-Photo is also an application so same options dialog can be started through it's application icon.
'Static' setting - turn this Live Wallpaper into static wallpaper changer and get maximum possible swiping performance! (Works for collage and classic modes.)
***Warning: in this mode double-tap no longer works and you cannot view or share photos from the application.
Package: com.cloudwalk.lwwp (for use on Play Store)
All feedback is welcome!
And one question: is it considered a bad practice to also have an application icon for Live Wallpaper? Starting it brings up dialog with most useful options regarding LWP functionality - it's quicker than going through several screens (depends on launcher) to get to particular LWP preferences. And it is known fact that inexperienced users don't get that any Live Wallpaper app doesn't live trace inside Applications drawer by default and it has to be accessed through Live Wallpaper Chooser app. So I thought it would be beneficial to register LWP also as an regular App but I got an angry comment about removing it from app drawer anyway... What gives?
Great work!
Could you imagine implementing a Google image search functionality?
Could you add the option to exclude?, Either categories or photos_tags. Excellent work by the way. Thanks.
Update
Since my last post I added a lot of functionality:
Dayframe - start a slideshow of downloaded and cached photos
Integrated Photo Widget - re-sizable widget with captions, dedicated actions and save settings functionality.
Filters - Simple and fast photo filters that can give photos on wallpaper or widget special tone which can help to harmonize entire home screen.
Also many other updates and improvements.
Play Store id is: com.cloudwalk.lwwp and latest apk is in attachment.
Any feedback is appreciated!
Enjoy!

Any feedback is appreciated!

UPDATE
Hi again,
Since last update Google removed my app from Play Store so I had to upload it with different id: com.cloudwalk.lwp
Notable update is inclusion of Google Earth imagery as a new photo source. Photos are fantastic - you probably saw some of them because they are used in official Android Marshmallow.
All feedback is welcome!
Wow this really a great live wallpaper alternative to muzei with even more options the app works great for now all missing is a decent UI But i when close the app from recent apps it unchecks the static WP option

Thanks for kind words.
I'll have to check about that 'static' option. It's been long since I implemented this and not many people seem to use it anymore so I don't get much feedback.
Be sure to explore all options, there should be something for everyone's taste. It also features a nice photo widget, also with many options an assignable actions.
What are your suggestions about UI? How it could be better? I presume you have something like Muzei in mind? Yes, it's nice and fancy but somehow when I was thinking of implementing some custom preferences screens it felt kind of pretentious. I was probably wrong not to do it...
Anyway, I don't think it would help much - I just cannot achieve virality effect although most people that stumble upon my app seem to be very happy with it. Ah, such is life...
Material design is good and it might attract more people / i choose static because i have widget which color changes with backround wallpaper so when i uncheck static it gives the colors of your icon and i want colors of the wallpaper
Is there a tweak that allows me to access my actual gallery instead of the really crappy Facebook photo picker that groups all my pics? I'm tired of scrolling through thousands of photos to pick one instead of being able to use Quickpic to choose my photo comments.
Ask it in the question section :')
Hi All
I hope I'm asking this in the right subforum.
Basically I have got a new Note3. And I'm after two widgets, don't know if they exist haha:
1. Picture Frame Widget
Basically the standard picture frame widget would work, as it displays a constant slideshow of pictures which is what I want, the issue is that I use QuickPic gallery app, and the standard picture frame widget opens the standard gallery app (which is terrible lol) when you touch it. I want a widget that I can determine which gallery app is opened when the widget is touched, so I can set it to open QuickPic instead.
2. Process List Widget
Real simple widget that just displays a list of the currently running processes, ideally there would be sorted by RAM used, and ideally it would have a kill tasks buttons, but I would be happy with just a list to be honest.
Thanks
Does nothing like these exist?
All, in Wallpaper Carousel settings is a line "favorites" that allows obviously to add pictures......any idea how to do this, cannot find any respective folder to add any pictures.
Thx for your support!
As far as I understand the concept, It's not meant to show local photos.
Open the wallpaper carousel application, not it's settings.
Lock your phone, then on your lockscreen, swipe right, select wallpaper carousel, then you see the actual wallpaper carousel app, that looks a bit like Instagram (in chinese).
There are thousands of photos and categories. Each photo has a heart icon. If you press that heart icon, this photo will be added to your favorites.
Later in the lockscreen settings of MIUI under wallpaper carousel, you can select which categories it should show, one of the categories being your favorite photos. Those are the ones you liked by pressing the heart icon. Not local photos in some folder.
