I've got an idea recently what if I want to see pictures from the places not from the person. Unfortunately I didn't find any good implementations of this simple idea. To tell the truth, I had found two projects but I found them too complicated and not really serving the simple idea Stick to the place and have your updates.
Here is how my implementation works. First, you have to subscribe to any area you want to receive notifications from:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Notice that after area is selected you'll be asked how often you wish to receive notifications from this particular area.
Basically, that's it. You may have as many subscriptions as you wish.
When new picture is made in this area you receive a notification.
In order for system to satisfy users there should be some way for the new pictures to populate the service. And this way is making one picture when user opens this application where ever he is located at the moment. Making any street view picture for the user shouldn't be a problem. Besides, it's not about art.. it's only a snapshot of what is actually surrounding you at the moment. To avoid annoyance on app start I added friendly option to skip making a picture. Obviously there are some situations when it's not convenient to make a street-view picture although user is curious to see what is this notification he received about.
Anyway, when picture is made or not you're getting an access to the map with all markers. Any new notifications will be put on map automatically and there's no need to make any new snapshots.
Also there's a way to filter markers in case you want to see only a certain markers on the map:

I'va just made a program which displays a large image on the top of desktop, while someone is calling, when I missed someone's call, or got text message.
This program tries to find the image with the name of Caller or Sender phone number. If this image exists it is displayed. Default notification is hidden at this moment.
Please visit www.jgui.net/mynotification/ for more details and screenshots.
Ok. I know, I know... to use this prgoram, you have to create a special image for each necessary Caller number.
It takes time, but what's the impressed effect you can get. On the above web page I've written brief desicriptions, how to make a fine picture.
This program runs and looks identically in Windows Mobile Professional and Standard (Smartphones) devices. Any screen size and orientation.
I've realized this program as free trail version for 3 days.
But you can use it all the time for free.
It will work afterward too, but it will display the image only one time per day.
(Next call or message will just display with default notifaction.)
this is displayed while someone is calling
this is displayed when you've missed someone's call
this is displayed when you've got text message
If you think, this is a good idea to collect users images, as default to universal using in this program, I will do. Please share your opinion.
I can promise to give a free registration code for creators of the best images.
(pocketgear and handango possibilities will be available on the end of upcoming weekend, if you really have to use these vampires :-( )
not that I plan to use it, but the idea is simply great
Cool...
Great Idea JGUI, Its much better than seeing that dumb symbol on the status bar when you have a missed call.
Will try it out as soon as i get home from work...screen shots might get me in trouble if i open this page again in office
Hey guys, I hadn't intended this to be my first post as I could swear I already had an account but it appears not. Anyways, I wish to share this with you lot both for your enjoyment and for feedback, etc.

Google Play Link - edit - because I'm a n00b I cannot post links, So either search Play store for note-ification or wait a bit while I get more involved here and can then post links.
As I have said, this is my first app so please don't give bad review on Play, let me know what you found wrong and I will fix.
Thanks again for looking and I hope some of you find it really useful. I know I do!

Description
Details wrote on pieces of paper? Important dates escape you? Constantly forgetting important details? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, then PassNotes is for you!
PassNotes is a new note/memo storage application for Android. This app allows you to keep all your information in one safe and easy to manage location.
If you are asking yourself "Well, my phone already has a note/memo application pre-installed. Why would I need this?".
The answer is that PassNotes has a user defined passcode that is set once you start the app, and needs to be entered before you gain access to your notes/memos.
"Surely, writing the things I need to remember down and checking them once in a while is a viable option."
Sure, writing your important dates, details etc down and checking them is a way to remember them, but, you don't carry these pieces of paper around with you all the time. Whereas you are always carrying your phone making PassNotes easily accessible and secure wherever you are.
Download PassNotes and never forget that important piece of information again.

Let's face it, we all have contacts that nobody seems to care to stick your friend's picture on. Then, what's the point of having these (reserved empty space for profile photo)?
It's definitely not cool to have a list of Alphabets.

Now, the solution to this is to rip their photos from......where? Of course, it has to be the most active users messenger app - WhatsApp. Truth to be told, it is and statistics don't lie (ehhh).
Well, the biggest issue with WhatsApp is it's tremendously "secured" that it offers ZERO API to the public. Hence, it was quite tricky and difficult to figure out a solution to rip the photos from the app.
Although, I'd manage to be able to collect the photos from the platform automatically, it definitely wasn't the best experience out there. Technically none, until someone else decides to do something about it, which I hope the company will.
Let's take a quick glance at the review and description of the current apps that offers "Contact photo sync" features.
"* WhatsApp (semi-automatically: contact pictures have to be downloaded in WhatsApp manually, the rest is done by the app)"
- Source: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.michaelflisar.socialcontactphotosync
That suck. Big time.
I know it may not be a huge deal to some of you, but every time I look at my dialer I knew something has to done.
--
Anyway, I need a few of community members to test out the extension (Chrome only) that I've created before it's ever going to be released.
You will need to have a computer, a cable, Chrome browser and to install an extra app that aid the process to sync the photo to the contact.
Also, to throw in an extra question, can root technique solves the problem by intruding WhatsApp, the app itself? Will there be a miracle?
Did you ever wonder which words you use most in your WhatsApp chats or who the most active person in a group chat is? Or maybe you want to know if there are any weird surges in your message activity at a certain time or day.
If those are questions that keep you awake at night (or if you just like colorful graphs) then this is the app for you.

Please let me know what you think of my app, all suggestions are welcome. I would also really appreciate reviews on Google Play.
Excellent app mate, are there any possibility to see which sentences or phrases are repeated in the chats?
Sent from my XT1042 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Glad that you like it, that's always nice to hear.
As for the sentences and phrases, while it would theoretically be possible to add such a feature, it would require a lot of computing power (at least a lot more than a modern smartphone has) to do this in a reasonable amount of time. As you might have noticed it already takes a little while to analyze larger chats and this would make that time even longer.
