Hi @Flyview cool concept. You asked for feedback. I think you should allow the transitions to be slower 2 seconds is to fast.
I don't really understand the seconds of the transition is it random ?
You might want to show a small overlay as a tutorial on first start I found the one tap to pause which is nice and the two tap to like, but I liked a picture without knowing what the 2 tap would do and I don't know which one it was
I'd like a go back feature too, if you see a picture and right when it disappears you notice something but you can't go back, so just a see previous like a swipe right.
Living in Paris I learned with your app that most pictures on instagram are of the Eiffel tower
Getting a blank screen many times.

It will show a new picture whenever there is a new one available (up to minimum of every second), this will be configurable. I have to think of a good way to show previous pictures. I was thinking the old ones would become scrollable below but if someone new comes to the app they may think it's like Instagram where the point is to scroll down. And yes, intro overlay should be added as well. That's awesome about Paris haha!

What mode are you in? Are you watching a tag or area?
Sent from my Nexus 5
good idea, but this is what I get right after connecting. no access to anything!
btw does it work with gps only or can it localise based on network?
Cool idea but I think the suggestions above are a must. Keep it up man

Hmmm that's not good. Do you have Google apps installed? What's your Android OS and ROM? It'll work with whatever location provider is available, GPS is not necessary.
Do you mean "Google apps device policy"? no
I run 4.4.2 on Asus A86 device
@Flyview nice app i have few suggestions
1. Ability to select the distance range for nearby pictures
2. Ability to click the user of the pic uploader, which takes directly to their profile so that we can follow them.
3. Custom picture refresh time.
4. Add an overlay which has buttons to Pause/Play Previous/Next buttons.
tried uninstall, reinstall and login.
there is an error warning warning telling me i have to enable cookies in my browser, or disable private mode? then this blank screen all the time. only way to reach login page is uninstall/reinstall

Oh ok that makes sense then. You need to enable cookies in Chrome (or whatever browser the Instagram login page is using). Otherwise LivePics can't log you in to your Instagram account.

well i checked and cookies are enabled in every browser installed: default, chrome, firefox, opera. not sure witch one instagram is using. will dig deeper in settings.
Same problem, I only get a white screen. Running KiKat on a stock TMobile Note 3. Tried clearing data. Hangs on login screen usually, then it will give the login/cookies error message. If I get past that, back to white screen. Tried uninstalling, then reinstalling - same results.
04/14 - update installed this week - fixed the problem - working fine now.

So do you ever see the screen where you enter username/password for instagram or does the message come before that? A screenshot would be great!
error message appear after login. then blank screen.

Using Nova:
Get into the home widgets selection, add a Nova widget of type Activity, then scroll the list until you find Settings, expand it and scroll up to the Battery item. Select it.
There you can also find all the possible shortcuts.
(I've translated the menu items from my Italian version)
Trying to add App Mgr using Nova Activities. Doesn't work. When I click or hold the setting it opens App Mgr but doesn't add it to home screen

To be honest , not sure. I just kept trying normal processes for adding widgets, then choosing nova activities, and under settings there are a ton of options for apps/app mgr, I kept trying different ones and one stuck.
Can not use for nova launcher.

I could be the dumb but which in the list of Settings shortcuts did you choose in QuickShortcutMaker to make the shortcut to the resolution changer?

Thanks for this.
The only thing that worked for me (Samsung S9+, Android 8.0.0) was the Nova launcher. QuickShortcutMaker went through the motions, but didn't actually put a shortcut on the home screen.
The Nova launcher works a treat, but why do Samsung oblige me to replace their launcher within the first half hour of owning their otherwise very nice phone?
I always switch on "Do not disturb" before going to sleep, as I use my phone as an alarm clock, so need to leave it switched on, but of course don't want alerts all night. As you can imagine, the last thing I want to be doing when I'm tired is effing around with settings, so having a shortcut to DND is essential.
The other shortcut I created was to the "Change Home" setting so I can easily switch back and forth between Nova and the "Samsung Experience" whenever I want. And you know something's going to be dodgy when they call it the "Something-or-other Experience"
Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!

it may be necroposting..but I'm having this exact same issue on android 10..I'd be infinitely happy with some sort of widget for this task...
theres a way to do it via the widgets screen when using nova launcher..I cant remember the exact steps for it.
Hi all,
I have a couple of strange issues using Google calendar on my HTC u11.
1.
When a press new event button I see a 'flat' interface instead of classic one.
See screenshots attached please.
On my Nexus 7 (same accounts, same calendars, same application version) all appear normally.
2.
I cannot swipe to delete event. Swipe gesture doesn't work.
On my Nexus works perfectly.
I tried of course to clear calendar data, install fresh but nothing.
Latest Google calendar version installed of course.
Recently updated ota 1.27 but the same.
Anyone is experiencing same issued?
Thx
Not sure what you mean by flat interface, however just created an event and can swipe to delete and short swipe to tap trash can to delete. Both ways work just fine. Im on Sprint 1.28. and latest as well.
All works normal for me. Leedroid.

I will change calendar app awaiting a fix ever if it's a Google calendar bug in some situations
After a lot of experiments, finally I discovered what is causing the issue.
It's an app called Nougat Quick settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.simonesestito.ntiles
It need accessibility permissions to allow it to create custom tiles in the quick settings bar.
I have contacted app developer that confirms this bug.
Once disabled accessibility permissions, Google calendar works fine but custom tiles stop working.
I hope this is useful to others having similar issues.
BTW Ty all for your support.

You can get custom tiles with shortcutter by @LeeDroid mate. Try it out. It doesn't interfere with any other App like GCalendar

I also have Google feed enabled and didn't found any option in launcher settings to change or disable it.
I would like to know how to turn this on as I also just have some smart assistant thing when I swipe across.
I've changed to Action Pixel launcher to get the Google feed enabled but I feel that none of the launchers i've tried so far are as smooth or responsive as the stock ColorOS launcher.

Yes, i'm sure. But I think it may depend on the operator's branding. My phone is branded for Vodafone, perhaps Oppo does some things on their request.
Can you pleas show us the feed?

This is an animated gif, not a picture. If you can't see animation, try to change your browser.
Very curious to find out if installing the launcher version from devices with Google Feed will enable it on devices without Google Feed. Can someone with one of these regional/branded devices check the version number of their launcher?
On certain Huawei phones it was possible to enable the feed by ADB disabling HiBoard. Unfortunately disabling Oppo's feed with ADB does not enable the Google Feed.
The version number is visible in the screenshot in the attachment.
..i have color os version 7.2 (11_A.30) and google feed is only available as a choice (option) in smart assistant settings, simply swiping from left to right opens assistant and you have to choose ( predefined ) from settings ( icon on the top right hand side )
Having the same trouble. Clueless here. Anyone had the same issue and fixed it? Oppo A72 here on Android 10 coloros 7.1
Switched off the Google news feed but when I swipe from left to right, I still have Google but its blank.. anyway.of changing it to another app or switching it off completely?
Hi,
I found a way to "disable" the Google feed without installing another launcher.
If you hide the Google App in the Privacy Settings, when you swipe left, nothing happens. The icon at the bottom which indicates how many pages there are is still visible but honestly it doesn't bother me much.
Hopefully, Oppo will add the option to hide the Google Feed page.
Cheers
Hi. I have an issue with Whatsapp. It has all the permission s available, so does google contacts. Ut for some reason the chats in what's app shows just numbers, not contact says..anybody came across the fix?
It's permissions do make sure you've set EVERYTHING there's stuff like Modify And Create Contacts and other similar ones this depends on
To fix manually in the meantime just go to the main screen, go to send a new message, then the three dots & Refresh
Go to settings - Accounts & Sync - Whatsapp - More - Sync now
That seems to work

That was done. Refreshing it did 5he trick. Thanks guys.
Cool!
If it persists after a reboot check permissions again (this gets very boring on the Chinese rom) but refreshing always brought it back for me.
Enjoy
The easiest way to fix this is go to privacy setting and look at behaviour of the apps, specially the permissions that WhatsApp tried to get and was restricted, or returned blank. Then set that permission to allow always.

Thing is, the fix is not permanent, I need to do it every few minutes. That's ridiculous
Why, I fixed mine once and it has never gone back. Have you checked all permissions, network restrictions, notification and battery settings and then go to compose a message, press on the 3 dots and refresh. You must be missing one of these things. Get yourself on to the EU ROM, you don't get this trouble. Good luck, you will crack it.

I am also on the Chinese rom and just fixed the permissions, marked autostart and excluded from battery saver. Everything works permanently.

The best way to do all this is not to look individually but search "battery" or "permissions" in settings. The layout isn't always great so I'd recommend searching for words instead of just scrolling through

Many thanks for this. I picked up a transparent Mi 10 Ultra a week or so ago and had this issue after flashing the Xiaomi.eu stable ROM. I could refresh the contacts within the app, but it would only stick for ten minutes or so. So far these settings have stuck.....
