This is the app (called "LWP+"), and I've shown here the video that I've published there:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.lwp_plus

At first I was happy about what I created on the video, but then I thought that it looks more like a tutorial here, instead of maybe focusing on what's the most interesting. Surprisingly, ever since I've published the video, it actually got quite some views already (29 after 2 days), despite the fact it's a bit of a niche app. Still, I think maybe it can be improved.

I want to know what you guys think about the video (which has audio, BTW).

Here's about the app:

It's a live wallpaper app, that has these features:

1. Allows showing color/image/animation/video as content (users choose the file from the file system). No special effects so some users that complain about the dimming/zooming effects actually like using it. Users can also choose whether it should scroll or the type of automatic cropping.

2. Allows (some) control over the Material-You colors of the OS, as it lets users to choose the colors to report the OS about what's on the wallpaper. This means that like on Android 17, users can choose the colors they want (if the OS supports it) despite the content not matching it.

3. Setting of double-tap to lock the screen. Some launchers don't offer this, so I added it to the app too.

4. Some extra flags that (on some devices) should affect colors further, such as black/white text and/or black/white icons on status bar and/or lock screen and/or launcher.

The app is completely free, ad-based. Users can remove the ads including by just watching full screen ads. Originally it was created to offer dark-theme on devices as it wasn't a toggle on the OS settings, and was based on the colors of the wallpaper.

RedMagic 11 Pro.
Android KLWP-KWGT-customized.
Debian/Wayland as a second system.
Forked an Arch/Wayland tablet APK, rebuilt it around Debian and adapted it for smartphone use.
Magic Key launches Debian instead of Game Space.
Plus ES-DE with around 14 emulated systems and custom system telemetry.
At this point, I’m not sure whether I bought the device to set it up or to use it.

Hi everyone, here is my current home screen.

I’ve been experimenting with a different kind of screen-time app for Android.

Instead of blocking apps or showing another warning popup, Stop Swarm gradually adds small pixel-art invaders on top of your screen as you use your phone.

You set a daily screen-time goal. As you get closer to the limit, more creatures appear. Some walk across the screen, some stop in the middle, and some hold tiny STOP signs.

The overlay does not intercept touches, so the phone remains usable. The idea is to make excessive scrolling progressively harder to ignore without completely locking the user out.

The current prototype is Android only, fully offline, requires no account, contains no ads or analytics, is based on a daily screen-time goal, and is designed to stay lightweight and unobtrusive.

CheatCode Launcher is controlled almost entirely by gesture-based "cheat codes". You assign combinations of taps and swipes to apps, shortcuts, actions, tasker tasks, start timers, or whatever else you want.

The idea is that the more you use it, the faster it gets as muscle memory builds. I've been using it for a few months now and have around 40 codes memorized and 0 icons on my home screen.

For things that you don't necessarily want codes for, there's still fast searching as well as collections and after shortcuts. After shortcuts are links you can apply to a specific app that show up once that app is closed. For example, when I close Google Photos, links to Create New Instagram Post, Lightroom, and Message Wife pop up.

Context-based themes are also included, which allow you to set rules for when themes automatically change. These can be based on day, date, time, media playing, specific app notifications, charging, and many more.

I haven't changed my phone theme in like 7 years, but as soon as I saw this photo I knew it was time. https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1vncaxe/i_captured_the_solar_eclipse_from_a_cruise_ship/

I went from a very colourful neon theme to this very minimalist black and white one that I enjoy for the moment on the Z fold8.

Hey everyone!

I recently released Nocebo Launcher, a free Android launcher built around a rotating home screen instead of the usual static grid.

I originally designed it for myself around eight years ago because I wanted something comfortable to use one-handed on tall phones. You can flick the spinner between apps, customize its animations and haptic feedback, place your own sticker in the center, and adjust almost every part of the layout.

Some of the main features:

Up to 20 apps on the rotating layout

• Custom center stickers, including GIF support
• A draggable four-direction gesture control
• Traditional home-screen pages for widgets and shortcuts
• App-drawer folders and drag-and-drop organization
• Search, widgets, deep shortcuts, and Private Space support
• Icon packs and individual custom icons
• Dynamic wallpaper blur, including animated wallpapers on supported devices

Earlier this year, I rebased the project on Lawnchair and prepared it for public release. It is completely free and collects no user data.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback, especially about what you like, what you dislike, whether anything feels confusing, and whether you run into any problems on your device.

What it does: My wife and I take tons of great photos on vacation, but most of them never see the light of day. Inspired by Photo Shuffle on my wife’s iPhone, I built EverShuffle to bring that same experience to Android. It finds your best photos, crops them for your screen, and automatically shuffles them as your wallpaper, all privately on your device.

Key Features:

• Automatically rotates wallpapers hourly, daily, or on demand
• Intelligently finds standout photos and crops them for your screen
• No sign up need, no ads
