[APP][4.2+] Daydream Launcher

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!

Thanks for the nice comments, guys.
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 ).
Have fun, XDAers!

tl;dr: Daydream Launcher has been updated. Daydream Launcher Plus has more features, and I will continue to take feature requests.

Would it be possible for this to launch daydream after a while of the phone being idle?

Great suggestion! I will try to work this in there. Should it start when the screen goes to sleep naturally (set in Display Settings) or defined by this app?
Thanks!

Just suggestion, but maybe attach the apk to the original post?

Thanks for the app I was looking for something so I could leave poweramp on and not get image burn in, like a screen saver, which this does -though I notice I have to turn off screen timeout (presuming in all modes one needs to?)
Thanks
Edit: just changed my "car" profile in my profile settings to screen timeout "never", so that I guess easily enough solves it

Thanks, I am working on adding some settings, and I'll fix this, too. I just got really busy last week.
Hopefully, I'll update it by the end of this week.
Thanks again!

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.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have tried both Daydream Launcher and Daydream Launcher Plus on my Sprint Galaxy S4 running stock (rooted) 4.2.2 (MDL), and each time I launch the app it crashes and never runs. Any chance of getting this to work with the GS4?
Thanks.

[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.

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!

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.

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.

D.M.A. Navi Watch - Clock face integrated with Google Navigation

Hi
My application just passed certification process and wanted to share it with you.
This application is available to download for free on Samsung Gear Apps. Just search for "navi watch".
Imagine you are exploring new city or just going somewhere. To be most efficient you use Google Navigation to get to your desired place, but when you are in unknown area you need to look very often in your mobile to stay on path. During nice sunny day your screen brightness on mobile needs to be set on 110% to be able to see something on the screen and your battery discharges very fast(sounds familiar?).
Showing turn-by-turn navigation instructions directly on clock face eliminates the need to launch separate application every time when you look at the watch when navigating on your route. Turn-by-turn instruction with navigation image will be right there when screen turns on.
No need to waste battery on the mobile with screen on all time while looking for directions and keep your mobile in your hands all time, keep your mobile in safely in your pocket/bag and all navigation instructions are delivered instantly on your wrist.
How does it work?
It is integrated with Google Navigation using its notifications and it is necessary to grant notification access to "D.M.A Navi Watch" to be able to see turn-by-turn navigation instructions from Google Navigation directly on your Gear.
After that just start navigating to desired place on your mobile using Google Navigation and follow the navigation instructions on your Gear.
When you are not using navigation, the clock displays date and current weather information with beautiful animated icons. Display, font, colours are all configurable from the application on your mobile.
--Version 1.2
Fixed missing navigation instructions on Android Lollipop
Fixed screen not turning on before turn for some users
Added experimental support for Here maps
Here maps now works, but I don't recommend it. To get notifications on the watch, you need to make sure that the application is running in background.
Second issue is that when the screen is off, Here maps does not send navigations instructions after some time and you need to wake you phone to get current navigation instructions.
I'm working on fixing this, but hopefully Here maps will fix it on their side, I don't want to wake the phone automatically.
--Version 1.1.1(attached below)
Fixed vibation alert compatablity with latest Google Maps
--Version 1.1
Improved clock design
More and better navigation images
Added vibration before turn
Added display on before turn
Added battery icon
AM/PM or 24h time syncs with the device
Compatibility with Gear S
Share button - Don't forget to rate and share :good:

Quality word, if I had to say something, I would request a little bit more space between weather and date on the screen. But it is very nice work, this is now my watch face thank you !!

I searched for it and I don't see it... do you have a link for it??
update: Nevermind...found it... lol

Thanks for the feedback, I agree, it will be fixed on the next version. I was also thinking to put the date on top or bottom, what do you think?

Well, date and time together make sense to me, so I think it is cool like that. thinking maybe you could add battery percentage in a corner and bluetooth icon in another to know it it is activated or not (both possible to deactivate). I was not asking too much but you seem to ask for work so here are my ideas ahah, thanks for asking! I generally like to have as much information as possible on the watch when I turn it on...

Pedometer in another corner ? ahahah

Currently im working on more subtile display of the battery percentage, but yes BT can be added too(also configurable).

Thanks for your work !

I did notice that 12:05pm does not fit the screen. Most of the "m" is off the screen to the right.
Thank you!!!

Not able to find the app in Gear App Store
Is this app available for US. I am not able to find the app in Gear App Store

Wow. This is one of the most game changing, useful, and well-made apps released so far.
Thanks so much.

I am going to try it out. Although, it would be nice to have the option to have it be separate as I like my watch faces and don't know if I want to change it every time I want directions, but does sound like a good idea. Good job!!!

Thank you all for feedback.
About the watch face and navigation, due to limitations on Tizen, currently it's not possible to have app that overlays on top of others(or I'm not aware of) like I did on my android application for the end of the world(search for "Doomsday - The last rain" on Google Play).
If it was separate app you would need to launch it every time when you look at your Gear during navigating on your route and that is what I'm trying to avoid, that is the reason why I added the weather widget. More options like app shortcuts or calendar events will be added in later versions.
Don't worry, I will think up something regarding custom watch faces.

I tried it on my Gear 2. Navigation is working and also showing the text in german. But I do not see the data and the time anymore only the weather is showing up. (I use 24h Setup)
Do you have any hint for me, please?
Update -> after reboot of Gear2 the time apears but still no datw

Also, I was thinking, if you make the weather forecast temperature smaller and put it on the left of the screen, you would have room for one shortcut for an app, woud that be possible ? I'm curious.. thanks!

Very nice app....thank you! Any way to use the clock on 12 hour instead of 24 hour setting? I can't a way to change that so far...I'm stuck on 24 hour setting. Again...very nice app! Works like a charm!!

[WIDGET][FREE][4.4+]Fibonacci Clock Widget

Just finished my first released Android App. It is a Widget version of the Fibonacci Clock, found on Kickstarter.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.thebillington.laxe
I've also built a web app that does the same thing, using Javascript:

Any feedback is very much appreciated as I'm not particularly great with material design. Also if anyone has any tips on how I can market a free app, that'd be most helpful.
Cheers,

This post saved me from reinventing the widget! I've got the Android wear watch face!

That's awesome. Strange, we brought them out on the same day!
Unfortunately I don't have a wearable so I can't check it out, but the app looks really good

very interesting app.. thx..
just a minor finding..
the vertical spacing among the "squares" are a bit too broad (might be due to my apex launcher)..
the spacing in the play store screenshots looks much better..
can anything be done on this?
[edit]
one more thing..
the time displayed is using the round-to-the-nearest-5-minute-mark algorithm..
that means a display of 11:00 is in the range of 10:57:30-11:02:29 (just guessing on the seconds part..)
this is a bit non-intuitive to calculate..
could it be changed so that a display of 11:00 actually means 11:00:00-11:04:59, i.e., round-down-to-the-nearest-5-minute-mark approach?
anyway its just my opinion, and im not sure if there is a publicly recognised definition to display the time in fibonacci sequence..

very interesting app.. thx..
just a minor finding..
the vertical spacing among the "squares" are a bit too broad (might be due to my apex launcher)..
the spacing in the play store screenshots looks much better..
can anything be done on this?
[edit]
one more thing..

Thanks for the feedback! I am trying my best with material design, but I have noticed that the clock does look slightly different on different devices. Because of the way I've done my XML layouts, I have no idea how to fix this, but I've been racking my brain. Hopefully in future the widget will look more uniform on all devices.
As for the rounding, I hadn't even thought of an alternative being used. Guess I just assumed 2:30 either side would do the trick. I will definitely include a 'round-up, round-down' option in a further update. Thanks for the suggestion!

Fun app !!!
For me, squares are refreshed at HH:M3:12 and HH:M8:12

The app is set to refresh every minute. I need to streamline my code so that it will refresh every 5 minutes exactly. However I'm still unsure of the differences of using the AlarmManager. I'm currently using the AlarmManager.RTC, which as far as I'm aware prevents the app from waking up the processor, meaning the app will wait to update rather than wait the phone from sleep.

That's awesome. Strange, we brought them out on the same day!
Unfortunately I don't have a wearable so I can't check it out, but the app looks really good

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback! Too much of a coincidence for us to put up the app on the same day!

Who makes Custom watch faces??

Hi guys,
So I've just recently got a gear s3 for Christmas and wondered if anybody makes custom watch faces? I tried but can't do it lol, I need a lot of training in using the program and a lot of patience!
I have a few ideas in mind and a couple of images of like incorperated into them if possible but I a different colour,
I'd like it to be very similar to the picture attached using the logo attached to replace the one in the picture, i would also like the dials and accessories to compliment it in either a silver of something other than Good, also is it possible to make it a precisionist type watch face?
Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated
P.s it won't let me upload images so I would be able to email them to whoever would be able to help me
Many thanks in advance

Look in the play store and download watchmaker app. Then join the group on Google plus. Someone there would probably make a face for you.

I just got the watch a week before Christmas and I am finding it hard to find a perfect watchface also. I know with apps such as Facer and WatchMaker you can create your own watch so it might come to that. I went through so many pages of watches and I am so indecisive its ridiculous haha. Most of the watch faces show alot of S-Health info which I dont care about, especially the completely inaccurate step counter.
This is pretty much what I am looking for...
-Shiny Silver in color (preferably)
-Analog Clock with Roman Numeral numbers (White numbers with silver outside, only want this to be shown in AOD and nicely dimmed)
-Small digital clock on the bottom center
-Weather info somewhere on home-screen (top center, when pressed takes to weather app)
-Watch and Phone battery percentage info somewhere on home-screen (maybe right and left center?)

I managed to be able to make something like what I want and it's not that hard once you get your head around it.
It's the watch maker gear app from Samsung, it's free to download and does take a little time to get used to, I can't upload pictures but I can pm you what I have made to date?

In GWD yes you can. I don't have any experience with the Facer or Watchface Maker (but I can't imagine those programs not being able to)
