The stock app will only allow you to browse in portrait and stream in Landscape. This app is for those of us who do not want to be limited to only these two views. This app will now allow for the screen to automatically rotate when you rotate your phone. Now you can browse in landscape and stream in portrait [if you want...]
The attached files are modified versions of the stock market V1.4.1
I have edited some xml files to allow screen rotation while browsing or streaming.
I have also altered the loading screens to GREEN, ORANGE, PINK, BLACK, BLUE, and the original Netflix RED.
The icons are created by me and correspond to the color of the loading screens. Nothing else has been touched.​

Sound is *way* ahead of the picture, but the sound is smooth (picture is losing frames).
HTC Inspire 4G

But maybe that's because my max CPU frequency is 384MHz.
I'll try it again at 1017MHz and let you know how it goes.

Greatest. Thing. Ever.
Ohhh, yeah... that's the ticket.
Greatest. Thing. Ever.
Yours was the first app to really work for me, and I tried about 4 different versions (none were yours, however). This afternoon, I was at a 245/768 min/max CPU setting, and would get audio but no video at all, with those earlier apps.
I guess I could retry a 'stock' one, but this is working, so why would I break it? Looks as great as one should expect on a 480x800 screen, too.
Nice, straightforward work from someone who knows his stuff. Awesome!
Now I just need to play with the CPU frequencies so I can get good video AND battery life...

lol thanks for the app, doesnt work on my iconia still but its always nice to see progress
btw, since the other thread got jacked to hell and back, any idea what error 12001 means ? andddd i like your "sorry we could not reach the Dblfstr service." love how you changed Netflix to you

Ok. Dumb question. What does rotation enabled do?
When I play something on the market app, it turns landscape when the show starts.
What does this do differently?

I need to get saltier with the CyanogenMod CPU settings. "POWERSAVE" governor and 768MHz gives an acceptable picture with some frameloss, so I need to just figure out what will still conserve power when I'm wearing the phone, but kick it up reasonably high when I'm Netflixing/Youtubing/DOSBOXing.
I also have yet to try it on 3/4G. Right now it's connected to cable through my WiFi (but I do plan to use WiFi most often so I don't run up a massive mobile data bill).

Oh, surprised that's a big deal to people.
Does the rotation work by your system auto rotate setting or does the app read the accelerometer itself?

Yes I did that for one reason only. Still the same error.
From what I can tell it has to do with the autmation.html, the text.js and the nrdp.js files. The automation is looking in the nrdp file for what the device is, and it is returning undefined. I have been looking around but nothing is staring me in the face as to how it can be resolved.
I run the script on my computer and get the same error. I will keep looking though.

The modification tells the app to read the accelerometer, opposed to being a hard-coded "landscape" and "portrait". It is a simple edit of some .xml files but it does the trick.
I believe IF the rotate settings are turned OFF in system settings the app will respond accordingly, I have not tested.
Edit: It is mainly for browsing in landscape (most useful on tablets), but I changed the streaming option too. I may enable rotation in browsing alone and leave streaming to fixed landscape. For those who are annoyed by the rotation.

Anyone getting service error .. using nexus 1

Love the Black! But I also get the 12001 error on my Thrive. The Keep up the great work man!

It allows you to rotate the app. I particularly enjoy the 270 degree rotation when I'm watching a movie with my phone charging.
Edit: I should have checked for updates before replying. I didn't see all the other replies to the question.

Open Camera is an Open Source camera app for Android that I've been working on.
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
Or install APK directly from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opencamera/files/
Open Camera is also available on F-Droid.
Homepage: http://opencamera.org.uk/
Code: https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/code/
Features include:
- Option to auto-level using accelerometer so pictures are perfectly level.
- All the usual options like zoom, flash, focus modes (including a "manual" mode to only focus on touch), focus/metering areas, exposure lock, scene modes, color effects, white balance, ISO, exposure compensation, video recording.
- Options for timer and auto-repeated photo taking.
- Configurable volume keys (take picture, zoom, or change exposure compensation).
- Optional geotagging, including compass direction (GPSImgDirection, GPSImgDirectionRef).
- Option to optimise UI for left and right-handed users.
v1.47.3:
Auto-level feature (from v1.48):
I want to make Open Camera better, so bug reports and feature suggestions are most welcome (either email mark dot harman dot apps at gmail dot com, PM, at https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/discussion/ , or leaving a comment here).
Also a request for help: one of the challenges I've had is the wide variety of different cameras or camera drivers on different devices, and sometimes bugs happen that I can't reproduce on my devices. In particular I've had various reports of problems on Cyanogenmod. If any Android developers out there are willing to help out with investigating issues on any devices/platforms you encounter problems with, this will help Open Camera become a better camera app and I would greatly appreciate it Or simply sending me a logcat may help.

I have tried this before. It's an excellent app that takes great pictures.
I'm already using snap camera so have no need for it, but it is better than pretty much all the other apps in terms of picture quality except for a couple.

Im not too big on comparing the quality of vids and pics between camera apps, to my experience its usually around the same. However, what matters is functionality and I must say this app is really nice. Buttons with quick access to the functions, etc. Especially "exposure lock" i like!
However, it seriously falls behind on the visual part. I know that in a sense it doesn't matter but it's always a nice way to finish off a good app.
May I suggest something in style with the Samsung S5 camera app? (http://i.imgur.com/iy5w369.jpg)
Functions on the left side for easy access with left hand and then shutter button + video/photo mode button on the right.
Another little thing, how about a seperate shortcut for videomode ?

I'd suggest a feature that I only saw in snap camera and Moto X camera.
the touch to capture.
instead of only focusing on touch, focus and take the picture

Thanks for the comments, some great suggestions.
* I like the icons being along the top myself, but I'll add an option to have them go down the side for people who prefer that.
* An option for touch to capture sounds a good idea too.

Can I clarify what you mean by this - there's an icon to switch between photo and video, or do you mean to change video resolution? Or something else?

Yeah, sorry, I was being unclear. I just mean in the launcher. A camera shortcut and a video shortcut.

That makes sense - have added it to the TODO.

Hi,
I just installing your camera and my first impression is :good:. It can detect wide resolution for my camera (16:9) where other competitor can't . For now I found bug related to save folder location, each time I open this setting app always tell path not found until I take one photo. Maybe because folder don't exists then app throw an error.
Anyway I didn't explore much this app but here some suggestion:
quick button to change resolution settings
quick button to change camera mode
Maybe HDR mode either software or hardware
Other suggestion will be added later :good:

Oops yes, that's a bug in the new file chooser, I'll get a fix out for that.
I want to have more accessibility to other options, though need to think about how to do this (more icons means more clutter / running out of space) - possibly having a fully customised GUI, or a swipe down for more options, or other ideas are welcome.
Hardware HDR should be supported if it's offered as a scene mode by the device; doing it in software is something I may do in future.

I vote for swipe gesture to open more options. We can have 4 directions for swiping
Thanks for pointing out HDR mode in scene settings

Half-press to focus of the hardware button continuously triggers focus, which doesn't steadily lock.
Xperia S with 4.4 aosp.

very nice app.ty for alternate download link from playstore.(we dont all use gapps).
peace
err on the side of kindness

Really loving all the app so far, here's a few ideas/suggestions
Double tap anywhere/press and hold to auto focus + take picture (this is by far the feature i miss the most from my windows phone life, maybe im not the only one)
Option to mute annoying sounds
more and more obvious GUI feedback (like for when switching from picture<>video)
circle inside the glass square doesn't look that well imhO the start recording/take picture should lose that visible square
angle line looks like an odd part of 3x3 grid (maybe its supose to be like that? i dunno, i know zero of pro-photo taking)
as a side note, at least on my device, the zoom scale looks inverted (at 0x bar it's blue, at 4x it's invisible)
i must say i really really love the option to controle the exposure from the volume menu, great idea
great work!

Hello, been using this for a few months, its one of the better camera apps, but could do with a few improvements (sorry to sound negative, I do like it!)
I d like:
An ISO shortcut, or option to add it, so you dont have to delve into the menus
Touch to focus and take a picture all in one, like Snap camera (already been suggested twice, so this seems the most popular request so far !)
Option to remove zoom slider - hardly any phone camera has optical zoom and digital zoom is 100% useless so I dont want it cluttering up the screen.
On my find 5 the camera button (the one you hit to take a shot) is surrounded by a square and it looks awful, so an option to change the style of this button would be nice (circle, square, pic of a camera, red, blue, white etc. I notice the screen shot in the first post there is no square though ?
How about a maximum no of icons you can have on the screen based on the size of the device, then user can choose what icons to have up to the maximum that can fit, so the amount of clutter is down to the user and the number of icons down to whats physically possible ?
I do like this app, but it is slow to take pictures, especially when stabilised, Snap camera isnt this slow whether youre using the stabilise feature or not, would be nice if it was quicker.
Was using the app with CM and did have some problems, using OmniROM now and dont seem to have them. Used to use Snap mostly, but that seems to have bugs on both CM and Omni, would like to remove it and 100% replace it with this.

A question about the "auto-stabilise."
Stabilization (as in Optical Image Stabilization, or OIS) generally refers to a camera shake reducing feature. Is that what this does? Your description sounds more like auto-leveling than the traditional meaning of stabilization.

I honestly have only one issue with this camera, it's damn ugly. Other than that it works beautifully on my S3 running CM11. You are using standard controls, so themes kinda mess with your work. I would suggest spending some time on a look and feel that would make your app look more modern.

What about porting it for gingerbread? (2.3+)

I really like this! I have an older armv6 version of focal but UI is very difficult to navigate. This one fills the bill.
UI suggestions:
*Universal choice of <-|+> or slider. Really do not need both visible. Do not take space for both or unselected alternative. It is those sliders that make the iPhone camera a joy to use.
*Place all those potentially per-picture options up front rather than in properties (or set their defaults in properties): ASA, white-balance, color-effect, et al. Done this way on focal and cm11s camera.
*Focus region is settable on cm11s camera (in properties but would rather see up front as well).
*Option for powerbutton capture (focus and shoot).
*Option for normal camera-icon capture (focus and shoot). Previously requested here. I am kind of confused as to what is going on right now and can be surprised to see "taking picture."
*Generally, unclutter everything which is going on the screen on top of the view. Do not need all those numbers and boxes except where directly functional such as focus region.
Might be interesting and make for quicker shoots: continuous auto focus--more likely picture is ready when I press the button. I do not think anybody is doing this at present (but nobody else is fudging angles and such either!).

Thanks for this great job, could you include the exposure time regulation? ideally to photograph lightnings.
Best regards

Cool app from what I've seen in two minutes of tinkering or so.
I was wondering if it'd be possible to set 60 and 50 Hz anti-flickering from the app? I'm travelling in a 50Hz power region and some museum lighting gave me weird banding effects that I suspect was caused by this.

[GUIDE] Howto increase photo quality on Galaxy S7 & S8

Hey guys!
You may ask yourself at some point how the hell can it be that Galaxy S7/S7edge/S8 camera is so highly praised? If you are into photography and look closer at the taken pics you will most likely be disappointed.
Let's go through the critical reviews found by google:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][B]#[/B] Oversharpened photos
[B]#[/B] Overexposed photos
[B]#[/B] Oversaturated photos
[B]#[/B] Too much noise reduction[/COLOR]
Well, you are right, at some point. Let's take a look at my sample pic:
100% crop, unedited, S7edge, stockROM, stock camera, stock settings=auto mode
Ah yes, yes, I see it: oversharpened check, too much noise reduction check, oversaturated che... wait! no. After trying to get the best out of my S7edge camera, I think the main problem is by default samsung adds too much contrast. Here is how to 'fix' the camera:
Important:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][B]#[/B] These settings are made for S7 Flat and S7 Edge models but most likely will improve your S8/S8+ camera too. Exynos only!
[B]#[/B] Some settings require root access. Do it at your own Risk! Your warranty is void.
[B]#[/B] I'm not responsible for damage to your equipment.
[B]#[/B] Photo 'quality' is a very subjective, some people prefer keeping natural grain, some prefer cristal clear photos.
[B]#[/B] Sample photos are taken with two Galaxy S7 edge (one stock, one modified), both isocell sensor, at the same time to have the same lightning conditions.[/COLOR]
First, how it could be:
100% crop, unedited, S7edge, stockROM, Zero Camera Mod, Pro mode custom settings
Wait! 'Looks like ****, too' you think? Then this thread is not for you. Look closer and you will see this is a lot more 'natural'. The lower contrast will reveal more details, the lower sharpness won't look that 'plastic', the lower denoise will work well with it. Btw if you think the metal pipe looks now blueish... it has a blue tint in reality!
Second another example:
Before:
1/10s f/1.7 ISO320
After:
1/10s f/1.7 ISO640
Well, yeah there is a lot of noise now, but there is a lot of detail too, at this point you can reduce noise in photoshop if you like, but you cannot reveal lost details. Again, the lower contrast let's us recognize the shape of this subwoofer. You may ask, why higher ISO? I will explain later.
Third the settings:
First screenshot shows app by zeroprobe. Default settings are '5' for 'edge' and '5' for 'denoise'. If we lower each value, we lower sharpness(='edge') and lower denoising. You can try out other values (1-10) but the effect will be drastic and don't look good anymore. This app requires root and you can buy it here for S7/S7edge and here for S8.
Fourth the final touchup
... and the promised explanation for higher ISO and using auto flash: Use a polarization filter! No, not things like that:
{
"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"
}
This will work but to be honest it adds bulk, looks ugly and you have to always carry with you. So instead use this:
Yeah, just look at ebay (or elsewhere) for some polarization filter film manufacturer. Important, don' buy anything thicker than 0,2 millimeter because this will let too little light in and buy a self-adhesive one. Normally there will be some offer kind of 100x100x0,2 millimeter film.
Yes, you cannot adjust the filter if it is 'glued' to camera lens (easily to peel off if your are not satisfied), but you don't have to! This is not our goal (we have adjusted saturation already):
Instead this is your gain:
before and after (less reflections=more details)
You can now use flash because it won't introduce ugly glare (like on someones forehead):
before and after using flash without other light source
Another notice: Every 90 degree you rotate the film before attachement, other light reflecions will be filtered (0° and 180° is the same of course). Find the one that bother you the most and apply that way (just use a tripod while testing). The polarization film has to be applied on the led flash too but 90° off the direction you chose for the camera. That way flash reflections will be filtered.
This film, even it's only 0,2 millimeter thick will reduce the light coming in and therefore the software raises ISO and will make use of flash earlier but that's good now
So , have fun!

Stock camera, stock rom

Looks really good. Please provide additional infos: Samsung or sony sensor? ISO? Shutterspeed? Edited in any way?

S7 edge exynos. Camera on auto mode and absolutely no edit. All my pics are great for me. Here's another one.

It is good that you are satisfied and not so demanding. To clarify things, your last pic for example is blurry and there are many S7 /S8 camera reviews that confirm my listing of flaws. No need to doubt my efforts by only posting pics in auto mode.

An interesting idea with CPL filter. Won't such one go off after some time (or rotate)?
Are there more examples of CPL on\off at darker conditions, in-door, party ect?

No, since it's self-adhesive like every scotch tape. The mentioned second galaxy S7 (without any modification) in my guide belongs to my wife. After releasing this guide I apply the same filter on her S7. Therefore I am not able to produce before-after-shots. This 'idea' is maybe new to smartphones, but many professional photografers use flash light and lens with CPL filter, this is why wou will find example pics about filtering light reflections all over the web.

Then just shot one photo in auto mode and the same scenery in 'pro' mode again with my settings to have a comparision. If you are a noob then leave the app by zeroprobe aside and just try 'pro' mode (follow the guide and click on the pictures). Your last pic looks good enough (since S7 camera hardware is superb) but at same time heavily postprocessed by samsung which leads to a overall artificially look (too much contrast, too sharp).

Okey. Is it known more - less how much ISO higher is with film on? Is it drastic change?

No, in comparision one level higher (for example without polarization filter ISO 160, with polarization fiter ISO 200 =one step)

Come somebody please suggest me some polarization fiter and where to by in Germany?
Thank you!

Hi koboltzz, thanks for your post!
I also experienced that, especially in darker conditions, the standard image processing of my S7 makes it look a bit blurry and poor in details. I will definitely check out the zero camera mod. About the polarization filter... Isn't it a bit of a problem when switching between portrait and landscape mode? Each angle the picture is recorded in will filter different light. So, I imagine I would be stuck in using e.g. landscape mode because I like the filter effect and when using portrait my pictures are darker (or noisier because higher ISO) without the desired effect?
Attaching the filter on the flash with 90 degree rotation basically adds up the filters in both directions, doesn't it? This sounds like a great strategy.
Your example pictures with the tiles clearly show how all these reflections are eliminated. But the picture gets pretty noise. I guess it is the combination of higher ISO, and less post processing? This starts looking a bit too noisy for my taste.

I know what you mean about switching between portrait and landscape mode but I can calm you down Since the filter effect on daylight applies only to light reflections in a specific angle to the lens, there exist no problems taking pictures from people or buildings in portrait or landscape. Anyway the best way is to leave the resolution at 12 MP 4:3 therefore you have always a almost quadratic picture which you can crop 16:9 afterwards. So you can decide which is the 'right' rotation before taking the picture and won't have any disadvantage.
Keep in mind, 'darker' is visually not what the filter is doing and the effect on iso is negliable since it's only one step higher (the camera app rounds, means if shimmering between ISO 613 and ISO 635 the user still sees "A 640"). Attaching the filter on the flash will turn the direction of emitted lightwave by 90° and that way the filter on the lens is able to filter the reflections (which are again turned by 90°).

Nope...well.... yes, the tiles picture without reflections is noisier because the camera was already modified as described in first post therefore I've reduced noisereduction from 5 to 4

Brilliant app! (Use low Edge/DeNoise settings.)
Just rooted and installed zeroprobe's app. It's unbelievable—congratulations! The smeared noise-reduction was driving me crazy; I'd say that my S7 Edge can now hold its own with some of my reasonably expensive M43 and APS cameras. Advice: set the Edge and DeNoise at fairly low numbers: I use 3 and 2. Then, if needs be, sharpen and adjust noise in Lightroom or Photoshop. If you want to get quite nerdy about this: apply deconvolution sharpening in Lightroom (with sharpening detail set to 100, or close); then process the image in Silver Efex Pro: you'll get a stunning monochrome file.
Sharpening can go higher; I wouldn't set the DeNoise any higher than 2, or you start losing detail.
From what I can tell, the same sharpness and noise settings are applied in both Auto and Pro mode. I get great results with either. Thus far I haven't fooled around with any of the other parameters—I think it's probably unnecessary, as long as you're willing to do a bit of processing after the fact.

[APP][8.1+] LWP+ - customized Monet colors

Starting from Android 8.1, when you set a wallpaper, the OS might change its colors based on it.
On Android 12 and above, it got more official as "Monet" feature.
Sometimes though, what you get might not be what you'd wish to have.
This is why I've made this tiny live wallpaper app:
With this app, you can stay with your own wallpaper and still have more control about the colors.
APK mirror:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/androiddeveloperlb/lwp-live-wallpaper-with-customized-colors/
ApkPure:
https://apkpure.com/lwp-live-wallpaper-with-customized-colors/com.lb.lwp_plus
{
"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"
}
The app allows you to manually set which colors you'd like to request the OS to use.
This means, for example, that even if you have a relatively yellow background, you can still (if the OS allows it) choose to have green colors.
For now the app is very basic, so only features are:
1. Ability to import your current wallpaper, and have more control of it. Alternatively, you can import a different one, or animation, or just a solid color.
3. Ability to have a double-tap-to-lock device.
4. Ability to choose which colors to request from the OS.
5. Some experimental flags.
How to use:
1. Make sure that in "Wallpaper & style" setting screen, it is set to use "Wallpaper colors" and not the manual "Basic colors". Choose the first option there.
2. In the app, optionally choose content to be shown. You can choose the current wallpaper as an image (as long as the current app isn't set as the default live wallpaper). If you choose an image as content, choose how to crop it for portrait and landscape mode. You can also choose to do it automatically via the toolbar action items. You have to choose it for both portrait and landscape mode. Other types of content work a bit differently.
3. Optionally choose to double tap on the live wallpaper, to lock the device. If you have a rooted device, you can choose that it will turn off the screen instead.
4. If you wish, you can (try to) set which color to use for the OS, which on some devices will change the color of the navigation drawer, volume bar, etc... It might change colors on other apps too, such as the launcher. Do note that it might not work this way on all devices, if at all. Read more about this matter below.
5. Set the app to be the live wallpaper of your device. This is the most important step.
For the custom colors (or the colors of the wallpaper) to be used by the OS and other apps, turn off the display, to let the OS check out the new colors.
That's it!
FAQ
Q: What's with the different colors? What are they for?
A: The app only requests the OS to use the colors. The OS is the one to decide what to do with them, if at all. Same goes for other apps in case they check the colors.
The meaning of each of the 3 colors (primary, secondary, tertiary) you can set depends on the OS alone.
For me, changing the colors have changed the volume color and the quick-settings tiles colors.
On different devices, the colors can mean different things. It can change a lot on some devices, change a little on others, or change nothing... The purpose of each color you choose depends on the OS alone, and on the apps that check the colors.
This is why I can't add description of what each of them do.
If you think this is a bug on the app, please try any other live wallpaper that tells the OS about which colors it uses, such as Muzei . There, set the background to be completely black, and see if it affects the OS UI.
Q: How can I know if my device supports dynamic colors?
A: On Android 12 it is a bit rare to find devices that support them, and only on Android 13 it began to be more widely supported. In order to find if your device supports it, start by changing your wallpaper (normal wallpaper images, not a live wallpaper app) to very clear colors, such as pure red, pure yellow, pure green. Then turn off and on the display/device (to let the OS re-generate the dynamic colors based on the wallpaper). After that, you should notice on various places on the OS that the colors have changed, or at least on apps that support it, such as Gmail.
If you've noticed the change, it means your device supports dynamic colors.
If not, either your device doesn't support it, or you need to change something in the settings of the OS to have it enabled.
Q: I choose some color, but it's not used on the OS and other apps, or the color becomes different. How come?
A: As I wrote, it all depends on the OS (and other apps), of what they will do with it.
Android might choose a "Pastel" color based on what you've chosen, which didn't happen in the past. That's why I've reported about it here, hoping they will go back to showing the real colors you've chosen.
Recently Google also created a website explaining the change to this "Pastel" colors, here.
Q: It works fine, but after a few hours/days, the OS goes back to the default wallpaper and/or colors. How come?
A: It seems this issue exists for some OEMs, such as OnePlus and Xiaomi, and that it's not just for my app, but for many live wallpaper apps.
Try to search about the problem over the Internet for your specific device.
For example, if you have "Redmi K20 Pro", you can search for "Redmi K20 Pro phone wallpaper back to default", and maybe one of the solutions that works for you will be there, such as setting the wallpaper only to the home screen, or disabling/removing some built-in wallpaper app.
Q: Why doesn't horizontal-scrolling work for me?
A: It works only on launchers that support it, and have it enabled for them.
On Nova launcher, for example, it exists, but you need to enable it there.
Q: What if I want a different wallpaper for lock screen?
A: You can still do it. Choose a normal wallpaper photo (using your launcher, not my app) for the lock screen. Then choose my live wallpaper app to be of your home screen.
According to my tests, the colors of my app should be the ones that define what's being used, and not the photo you chose for the lock screen.
If you wish to still have your previous live wallpaper, you have some choices:
1. Request the developer of the live wallpaper to allow customized colors.
2. Update to Android 9.0, where you can choose the theme.
3. Record a video of your current live wallpaper in full screen, as sometime in the future (I don't know when) I plan to allow to view videos in addition to images and animations.
Q: Can I use a different live wallpaper , while using this app?
Sadly, you can't use 2 live wallpapers at the same time, especially not one that hosts another.
This app is a live wallpaper, and Android allows to choose only one, and it alone will be shown.
That being said, it could be nice to have 2 live wallpapers at the same time, one for the lock screen and one for the home screen, just like of normal wallpapers.
This is why I've put a request for such a thing, here. If you wish for it too, please star it and optionally cast your opinion about it there.
Q: Is this app consuming any battery ?
A: If you choose a photo as the content, not at all. All it does is draw the photo. No animation needed, so no CPU is needed after that.
If you choose animated content, it will take what is needed to show it, but of course only when you can see it. It won't be using any CPU/GPU while the live wallpaper isn't showing.
Q: I can't download, install, or use the live wallpaper. How come?
A: You have to have at least Android 8.1, and the OS must allow to use live wallpapers.
For example, many say that the device called "Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1" can't use any live wallpaper, and it seems this is a known bug on the OS for this device (reported here). I don't know if Asus will fix it.
Q: Why are there multiple ways to lock the screen? Which should I choose?
A: If you use a secured lock screen , you should use root or accessibility, because using admin will cause the unlocking request you for the unlocking method you've chosen (password, pattern, ...).
In all other cases (swipe, no lock screen...), admin and root should be fine.
Q: Monet was introducted on Android 12. What about previous version?
A: Originally the app was actually meant for Android 8.1 and above, to try to get dark theme no matter which wallpaper you've chosen. There was even a video of it, here.
Over time, as dark theme was a part of the OS, the colors that you've chosen barely changed anything, but now on Android 12 they are useful again, as you can see that they might even affect other apps.
Q: What about the status bar color?
A: There are already various apps that change the color of the status bar to whatever you wish. Here's one for a black status bar :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nachonotch
And one that lets you choose the color:

And one that lets you choose even a background image:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firezenk.ssb
Q: What about the nav bar?
A: There are apps for this too. Here are some cool ones:

Written on this post.

This is perfect! Thanks for the time and effort!

I've found a bug that is related to choosing a new photo (it doesn't get updated).
I will fix this soon.
In the meantime, you can clear-data of the app.

Published a new version with the fix of this issue.
Annoying that after all this time of testing, I still had a bug...

Mind sharing the source or at least the wallpapercolors implementation? I've been struggling to make it work on another app. Thanks!

Sure.
Inside your class that extend WallpaperService.Engine, When you decide the color have changed, call :
Code:
if (VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.O_MR1)
notifyColorsChanged()
And then in the function onComputeColors , you prepare the WallpaperColors object.
You can create it from CTOR, from Bitmap, and from Drawable. Your choice.
According to my tests, I think Bitmap is the best, even though I wanted to use the CTOR.

Thanks, it seems the WallpaperColors api is kinda broken, creating a new WallpaperColors object with the 3-parameter constructor doesn't work well, building it from a bitmap does the job. Thanks a lot!

Does this require root? It does nothing on my non-rooted nexus 5x (tried clearing date, restarting). Background doesn't change to pictures chosen via the app and choosing colours doesn't change anything.

Doesn't require root.
If you wish to set the custom colors, you have to enable "use custom colors".
The whole point of the background, is that you can choose whatever you wish, yet when "use custom colors" is enabled, it's your choice if you wish the notification drawer will be dark or white (assuming it works on the device&OS).
On Nexus 5x, it should work fine. I've tested it myself.
If you wish, I can make a video to show how to use it.

It might be no harm, if not's too much trouble for you and if anyone else is as dense as me .
I thought that I just needed to set a photo as a wallpaper as normal, then use your app to set custom colours. I didn't realise that I needed to set the wallpaper as a live wallpaper via your app to get the custom colours to set.

A live wallpaper can only work for you if you set it...
That's true for all live wallpapers...
Sadly the only way for the system to use customized colors, is via a live wallpaper, as far as I know.
If you don't use a live wallpaper, the colors are automatically set by the normal wallpaper instead.
But I will think about creating a video.
Shouldn't take much time, as the app barely has any features.

OK I've published a video as a tutorial for this app, available via the app's page on the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.lwp_plus
Hope now it's clear how to use the app, and how to (request to) make the notification drawer to be dark .

I've updated the app with a new version, that allows you to choose which part of the photo to show on the live wallpaper.
You have to set both portrait and landscape, and you can use the automatic choosing, as it worked previously.

So I can't use another Live wallpaper (e.g. Moab) via this app?

That's impossible in current Android versions.
How would you want to use 2 Live wallpapers?
One for launcher (AKA "home screen") and one for lock screen?
If so, this could a nice idea, but sadly there is only one live wallpaper that can be set on Android for you.
I've decided now to request it, just because it could be cool:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/74056699
Please consider starring it and optionally put your opinion there. Maybe you can write a better explanation or better idea than what I've written.
The only thing that you can do, is set a simple background to the lock screen, and a live wallpaper for the launcher.

It works . Thanks.
Too bad you can't choose a live wallpaper from the Google Wallpapers app

The Google Wallpaper app has live wallpapers of its own.
I can't host a live wallpaper within my own live wallpaper...

I wanted to be able to switch the Status Bar, Lock Screen, At A Glance and the Launcher's Fonts to a dark color. I've been trying to get this one particular wallpaper dependent feature of android with your app but it doesn't seem to work properly. I know your app never promised this feature but I don't get why doesn't it work. Take a look at the attachment.
dropbox.com/s/2avpkhqq69asyz0/Screenshots%20O.png?dl=0
-With a Solid White Wallpaper (from the wallpapers app) it changes these elements to dark.
-With Light or Semi-White wallpapers it doesn't work (It creates ugly shadows behind the Elements and Fonts)
-I thought that applying a white background with your app and then the live wallpaper on top should of worked but no.
However, I would understand if you don't wanna put time into this. Or if it's just not possible.
But if you can do something I'll be very grateful, I think it would look very nice with some light wallpapers.

[App] Energy Bar - a pulsating Battery Indicator! [Special Curved Edition for S8]

UPDATE: New version EB_CD_1.4_BETA is now up on Google Play Store. Download now! Please leave a rating on Google Play Store if you try the App, your feedback is very valuable!
NOTE: The App is tested on Samsung Galaxy S9 so far, for the looks. If you have a Galaxy S8/S8+/S9+, please post some pictures as a feedback. Thanks!
Greetings! I made this special Curved Edition of Energy Bar for Galaxy S8/S9/+. Look forward to hear community feedback on this.

Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might have instantly recognized the thin colorful line(s) in the above image. And for the new Android generation, introducing Energy Bar - a pulsating Battery indicator!
Energy Bar puts a thin line on top of your Status Bar whose length corresponds to your device's current Battery level.
Got a full charge? The line will cover the whole width of your screen.
Battery depleting? So will the length of Energy Bar.
After several iterations (thank you for the feedback, early testers), the App is now feature packed:
Energy Bar can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to cover the entire status bar
Energy Bar puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
Energy Bar's origin can be configured as left/center/right
Energy Bar can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
Energy Bar can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
Energy Bar could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient
You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
Energy Bar as a cool pulsating animation whenever a power source is plugged into your device
There is something about visual over numbers that keeps you and your device's battery level in sync with just a glance. You may find it intuitive/effective/stylish way to read the battery level, let me know what you think

Hi. I'm on Galaxy S8+ (Japanese version SCV35) but I'm getting an error saying I'm not on a supported version.
Not rooted. On stock. Any ideas?

Same issue here

It looks great, my only grips is that the bar is vey uneven around the curve edges. I'm super OCD about these things though.

it looks good, but careful, it might burned-in.
for example the left part, assuming it's full bar, the area between 0-20% might stay the same at all times, which could lead to burn in.

Thanks! And yes, there is always that possibility. Hopefully switching up the color intensity or even the color itself from settings and changing the 'origin of the bar' will be helpful. I will look into if there is anything I can add/change to avoid any potential burn ins.

if OLED can't get burn in, i will definitely use this, it just looks great!
maybe you can look to Samsung or Google how they handle burn in?
because as you know, even signal icon or battery icon can get burn in over time.

Sure! Here are a few shots of what I mean. What mainly bugged me is that there isn't the same amount of space from the edge of the screen in areas of the curve, some pixellation, and how it curves inward at the bottom of the status bar (which is what I think may be a source of the unevenness). I don't know if these are possible to fix, but thanks anyway!
Sorry for being so picky, I hope this helps.

I agree, if the bar tapered off just at the bottom of the status bar it'd be great. At full thickness it still sticks under buy a bit.
Also @jagen2 what are the "donation" amounts? There's no currency listed in the unlock page...

Hey Guys! The pixelation I am afraid is not fixable without some performance cost. Now about the uneven thickness, I am not quite sure if I understand what you mean.
The Bar curves along the physical curve to meet at a sharp point where the phone's physical curve ends, so naturally the distance between the physical curve and Energy Bar's curve will keep on reducing to meet a sharp point.
I did consider making the curve end at the bottom of status bar precisely, but it didn't look 'good', moreover, it made more sense to curve Energy Bar and take it as far as where the physical curve seem to end.

Please click one of the options, a pop-up from Google Play will appear which will list the price in your local currency.

UPDATE: What's new?
EB_CD_1.2_BETA:
* Adjusted the curve at left corner by 1 pixel, because every pixel matters!
* Fixed issues with 'Status Bar' mode - portrait to landscape switching/auto-hides.
EB_CD_1.2.1_BETA:
* Minor Bug fixes
Hey Guys! If you try the App, please leave a review on Google Play Store, it will be really helpful, thanks!

Paid for the unlock cuz I love the gradient effect, everything looks great.
Had an idea for a charging animation though.
So when the bar comes in and hits the end of the battery level maybe make one it so the bar travels thoughout the entire bar (as a little "blip") twords 0%, cuz that would help with the burn in since it'll add a little animation to the lower end (under 50%).
Cuz I know I for one never let my battery drop under 20% so that bit of the bar is always there.
Also, could you make the background transparent? Samsung sets some apps with a white status bar which turns the text grey and unreadable

Hey, this looks great. I wonder why you didn't release it for S7 Edge (and maybe S6 Edge) also. Is there a technical reason or didn't it come to your mind?

About S7 Edge ?
It's a shame not to give the S7 Edge, after all tb has curved screen!

This is really cool. Any chance of a note 8 compatible one as the note 8 curves differently?

It works on every phone, not only Samsung, with or without curved display. That's an overlay with rounded corners.

Very nice app (literally)!
However, when I first read the xda news, I saw pulsating as an option. But after I installed the app, I can't seem to find the pulsating option.
Maybe we have a different understanding of the word.
I really wish it does pulsate or twinkles or even dims and brighten up in circulation. Hope you can understand what I'm saying. As this will help with the burn in problem too.

Edit: I see now, pulsating is an animation when charging. But what I'm suggesting is that the whole bar pulsates, and not necessarily only when charging, can have it on all the time, to help with burn in.

Great bat where can I downloaded because in Google play says that can not because I have a s7 instead of a s8!

I guess it does, but the author has locked it in Google Play on S8,S9, Note 8.
