I have been using a hand built ListActivity as my AppWidget config Activity but to be honest it looks ****ty and doesnt fit in with the rest of the app. So i wanted to transition over to a PreferenceActivity. i made a stub of a PreferenceActivity that launches the layout just fine when it is the main activity. but when i try to change from my ListActivity to my PreferenceAcitivity i get no launching of PreferenceActivity when i launch my widget. all i get is my widget.

i did a refactoring of my xml files to change the instances of my ListActivity (GITextConfig) to my PreferenceActivity (GITextPreferences).

how can i use a PreferenceActivity as my config?

do i need to have a dummy Activity be the config with a button to launch the PreferenceActivity? cause that works just fine. its lame and shouldnt be that way... nvm that does not work... i just cant get a prefs activity to run from an appwidget
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
anyone? this is quite annoying... i know it can be done as other widgets like gmail unread count does this. at least it appears to have a preferenceactivity as the configuration
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
got it to work. i dont know what i was doing before but i think i had a little too much of a stub for it to work. after i implemented the appwidget id verification and created my PreferenceManger and overode the onBackPressed() method it seems to work.... :confused: happy and confused.

public class GITextPreferences extends PreferenceActivity {

private int mAppWidgetId = AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
PreferenceManager localPrefs = getPreferenceManager();
localPrefs.setSharedPreferencesName("GITC_Prefs");
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.gitc_preferences);

// Find the widget id from the intent.
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
mAppWidgetId = extras.getInt(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
}

// If they gave us an intent without the widget id, just bail.
if (mAppWidgetId == AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID) {
finish();
}
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// Make sure we pass back the original appWidgetId
Intent resultValue = new Intent();
resultValue.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, mAppWidgetId);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue);
finish();
}

}

Ok, so I have this issue with my phone and haven't seen a topic about it, so let's go.

My phone has a heating issue which is cause by an application that makes the cpu run constantly at 50% circa.

The strange thing is, that even though i close all apps via an task manager and system apps too, the cpu keeps on running. The only thing stopping this, is an reboot.

It happens a couple of times a day and i don't know what triggers it. I may be the app market? It happened an hour ago and i had only opened market, browser and gallery - so one of those triggered, I guess? As mentioned, it doesn't help closing all apps though.

Anyone else experiencing this? It drains the battery fast and overheats the phone very bad. I am running ke7. Thx
[Galaxy S II General] prodygee:
Theres a lot more running next to the apps you have opened. Most of these processes running on the sgs2 is bloatware.

I have frozen over 20 processes, which keeps my phone cool and makes batterylife longer. I've carefully tested if freezing would do any harm.

Try a different firmware, though it shouldn't happen in the first place.

[Galaxy S II General] sackynuts:
K have also freezed a lot of apps and im not the type of person who installs a lot of crap, so this is really a mystery [
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
How do you measure CPU?

Have no problem at all running stock and I didn't freeze anything. Good battery and never hot!

I use same phone company as you do and got my phone 2 weeks ago. So our phones probably came from same production batch (KE2)
[Galaxy S II General] sackynuts:

I called a private cell phone service and asked how much cost to unlock this phone and they told me about $ 80 to unlock this phone ... it is too much for me.Is there any way to unlock this phone with the USB cable and with help of some software ?

Hey Guys,

Prior to rooting, I averaged 24 hours of battery life from my DINC + Seidio 3500 battery. After rooting and flashing Skyraider 4.0 + HeyItsLou Kernal #8, my phone is super fast but battery life is awful.

I've done a lot of searching on XDA forums, wiki, and elsewhere for tweaks that I should do -- or battery mods for Skyraider -- but I haven't found any answers.

Your help is greatly appreciated,

Owen

Okay I did some searches to make sure this wasn't posted before but no real solutions were found.

I recently just flashed the Continuum ROM on my Captivate and for some reason I cannot get Facebook photos to apply themselves to my contacts like it would before. If I view the contact individually, it shows their photo but if I call them or text them, it just shows the generic android photo. Any solution to this?

Thank you.
[Captivate General] theevildevil:
I also faced the same problem after flashing Cognition but only one time.

I removed the Facebook Account from "Applications -> Settings -> Accounts and Sync" and added it back . That worked for me.

So on my previous version and on 1.141.07, I am seeing a couple of apps missing that I cannot get to download using the Market or Appbrain.

"Bank of America" and the standard "Amazon" app.

Any ideas on this guys, can you all see them, maybe it is just me...

There are many apps we don't see based on what our tablet reports to google. See this all the time with custom rom for my phone.

The solution always seems to be to modify the build.prop to report different info to google.

I may play with the file this weekend.
[Acer Iconia A500] xendrome:
Well the funny part is I had both of these downloaded prior to having to return my unit and exchange it for a different unit due to a Micro SD card slot problem.

Same version/build/kernel. Now on the new one, I can't see these 2 apps.

I've been reading and watching the progress of VegaComb on the Vega tablet. It looks good, seems to be a touch farther along than Bottle of Smoke. Are any of our talented porters/devs looking at bringing that to the gTab? I forget how much had to be changed to bring VeganTab to the gTab, but if I remember right it was minimal. I'm not a porter or a dev, so just curious. I might should have posted this under Q&A? If so, I apologize.

I made this little app called Wallpaper Changer which comes with a widget to let you change your wallpaper with one click.

Simply add the wallpapers to a "rotation list" in the app and then you can rotate through your list with a single click on the widget. Additionally, you can also activate a timer which automatically changes your background image on a predefined time interval. You can also chose to enable the timer only when connected to an external power supply, though I haven't felt a significant battery drain with an interval of 30 mins yet.

If you don't use the timer, then there's no background service running or something, so it shouldn't affect your battery or performence in any way. Therefore it might take some seconds to actually change the wallpaper as the images are loaded only on demand.

[Android Apps and Games] worker1:
This looks cool. I was thinking about something like this today. I'll check it out. Maybe you could add an option to change the wallpaper everytime you lock or unlock the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
thanks for the suggestion, i will implement it in the upcoming release :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mano1982:
Looks good & promising :) Nice job
[Android Apps and Games] slyk2203:
thanks very nice idea... I missed it on my desire s.

It would be great to have the option to add a whole wallpaper folder (not single wallpaper ... if you have more then 10 wallpapers.... )
[Android Apps and Games] WiredPirate:
Agreed. I already have a folder like this for a similar app.
[Android Apps and Games] nospam:
+1 for "Add folder" feature
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
ok, convinced :D i'll look into that...

edit: done. click 'add wallpaper', then select an image in the folder you'd like to add. the app will now ask you if you want to add just the selected image or the whole folder
[Android Apps and Games] nospam:
thank you :D

updated and tested on Wallpapers folder, added all 50 pics. thank you so much j4velin :)
[Android Apps and Games] GrandAdmiral:
I am so getting this. Thanks bud. :D
[Android Apps and Games] worker1:
Can you make it so if it is set to "0" it doesn't change the wallpaper automatically (for if you do the lock/unlock)

Can you make it so it changes on phone lock so you don't see it change; when you unlock it's already a new wp?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
if you uncheck "enable on boot" and never press "start rotation" then it shouldn't change your wallpaper automatically but just on widget click or on unlock (if you enabled "change on unlock").

changing the wallpaper before the unlock is a bit more complicated as the app has to change the wallpaper on screen off then. and to get screen off broadcasts, the app has to run all the time - which might drain more battery
[Android Apps and Games] Flashern:
Nice app, I'm digging the widget!

I get force closes when I add a folder (maybe it's because it has too many pics in it - about 700..)

After adding the folder I also get force closes when I go into the app.

N1 on CM7.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
yeah, that's because the app runs out of memory when loading preview images for 700 files :D

i haven't though that someone would like to add that many images... i guess i have to split the previews in diffrent "pages" to fix that. be patient :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flashern:
Great, looking forward for it. 700 isn't that many again, is it? :D
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
well, you seem to like changes ^^

as a workaround, it'll now only show preview of the first 50 images. so you should at least open the app again ^^
[Android Apps and Games] Flashern:
Brilliant!
[Android Apps and Games] cabessius:
Why don´t you just put an option to completely disable preview? I already know the images that are in the folder.

EDIT: Loaded a folder with 696 images without problems, set to change on unlock. Change takes 3-4 seconds after unlock, but I guess that´s normal. Gonna try later with a 2000+ images folder. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
omg you don't want to see any wallpaper twice, do you?^^
[Android Apps and Games] cmsc:
Great! I'm looking for something like this but for the lockscreen wallpaper, maybe its posible to add this feature to the to-do list?

Feature Request - RSS Feed

Hi j4velin,

I have been using the app for a while now and absolutely love it. I know a little while back someone brought up the question about adding an RSS feed as an image source, and I believe you were concerned about battery drainage issues. Do you still feel that way? If so, how significant do you think it would be? I just feel that there are so many feeds that I think would work amazingly with your app.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Thanks so much for all your work on this great app!!

Its worked perfectly for me with NovaLauncher, but I've now switched to the stock touch wiz. Now the photos won't resize when I change the settings. They will not 'fit to page', they always appear zoomed in.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
the required image size is determined by your launcher app. if touchwiz just wants really big images, the app has to zoom to deliver really big images
[Android Apps and Games] lucasdean:
Recently I'm having problem, that timer doesn't work.

Changing on unlock works, but I prefer timer version.

Is it working for everyone else?

If so maybe it is related to liquidsmooth mod...

Blank wallpaper

After a wallpaper change, the desktop wallpaper that's displayed is sometimes blank. If I use the widget to repeatedly change the wallpaper to the same image, it sometimes displays correctly, sometimes blanks the wallpaper and occasionally displays one of the default wallpapers (the tree in a stormy field). I believe the wallpaper images are sized correctly and another wallpaper changer always displays them correctly.

Asus Transformer TF300, Android 4.2.1

================ post edited below =============

Some additional info: Android 4.2.1 has a new launcher. I tried reverting to the 4.1 launcher and there seemed to be an improvement. When I went back to the 4.2.1 launcher. I still sometimes had blank wallpaper but where previously at least 50% of the changes resulted in blank wallpaper, I'm down to maybe 15% or so. Also, if I open the Wallpaper Changer app when the wallpaper is blank then immediately close the app, the wallpaper is correct and is no longer blank. I'm baffled.
[Android Apps and Games] shrimants:
I'm finding that after having downloaded a bunch of wallpapers from zedge, the app doesn't want to scale images correctly. it zooms in and the wallpaper gets all blurred and pixilated. can there be some sort of cropping algorithm selection for when we have multiple wallpaper resolutions and not all of them fit the aspect ratio of our device?
[Android Apps and Games] M-B-P:
Issue with scaling.

You've made a very useful apps. I've tried out several other wallpaper changing apps, but the others lack in some key features.

Until recently it worked fine, but now when I use it I am also having trouble with the scaling, especially in landscape mode. It zooms too far in no matter which option I choose for scaling in preferences. Please take a look into the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] shrimants:
Yes, it should be noted that in the past, it used to fit as much of the wallpaper (width) as possible within the set number of homescreens. Now, it seems like its not doing that anymore. Previous versions worked fine.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
Sorry, guys, but the app scales to the dimensions requested by your launcher application. On some launcher you can enable or disable scrolling wallpapers etc. and these options influence the requested image size
[Android Apps and Games] shrimants:
do you know exactly how the launcher settings affect how wallpaperchanger sizes images? that way we could have some predictability.

I'll try disabling scrolling wallpapers and see how that affects image rendering. I'm using trebuchet on cyanogenmod 10.1.3.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
yes: the launchers sets the desired width and height of the background and WallpaperChanger uses these values to resize the image. How the launcher app gets its width and height values depends on the launcher
[Android Apps and Games] shrimants:
I switched it to not scroll wallpapers and now it seems to be scaling almost correctly. seems like my wallpaper doesnt extend up into the status bar, so by default a little bit of it gets cut off. not a huge deal. Sucks though, that i cant scroll my wallpapers if I want them displayed correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] xshunin:
Oh I am also having problems with that automatic resolution. I am using the stock Sony launcher and I want the wallpapers to scale to the height of my phone, which is 1920px.
[Android Apps and Games] tabnnaj:

Cropping Aspect Ratio

I absolutely LOVE this app, but every once in a while, trying to crop images to add as wallpapers goes from 9:16 to what looks like 4:3. I have looked into my launcher settings as well as the app itself and can't see anything that would have triggered the changes.

I can't post a link due to creating a new account, but you can go to imgur slash kivfN6u.png

[MENTION=1246899]j4velin[/MENTION] 1st of all thanks for this amazing app! :good: but i've a little issue.i am using samsung galaxy y duos which is a dual sim phone.when i change my wallpaper it shows me an option to change it for sim1,sim2 or both (screenshot attached). but with this app i am only able to change my sim1 wallpaper.i want it to be for both sims.screenshot attached for better understanding.

now my req is to implement an option for such dual sim users so that this app can make change for sim1,sim2 or both sims.it should be a separate option which only dual sim users with such wallpaper changing behaviour will use it.hope it will be not so hard for you.

p.s. i use default samsung gallery app to change my wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
i've faced another problem.when i crop the images & set them as wallpapers in your app,the wallpapers are a bit pixelerated.i've made same images as wallpapers using default gallery app but without any problem.screenshot attached for comparison between your app's set wallpaper & manually set wallpaper using gallery.my screen res is 240x320.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
thats not possible, as there are no official APIs for handling different sim cards on the same device

the app resizes your images if they're too big or too small and that might resolt in a poorer quality. try to make your images the exact same size as your launcher requests the wallpaper size
[Android Apps and Games] SoreGums:
Excellent app until I restart my phone :/

Once I restart my phone I have to do the following again to get it be excellent.

- settings > apps

- wallpaper chager > clear data

- settings > display > wallpaper > home and lockscreen

- setup again from scratch

Is it possible to force something to do whatever "clear data > start again" does when the phone restarts?

Thanks :D

Nice app :)

I have a suggection. if you put an option to set the time for each wallpaper change instead of the regular timer interval (eg : 5:00 am to 10:00 am...), it will be much better.. if you do then we can have different wallpapers at different times, ie; at morning, noon, evening & night..
[Android Apps and Games] SoreGums:
Never mind, fixed it by upgrading to the Nexus 5 and 4.4.2 - excellent app.

btw if you are looking for a bunch of pretty pics for a couple of bucks hit up interfacelift, spent AUD2 on 192 "1080x1920 Android" (2160x1920 actual size so they aren't cropped or shrunk/enlarged on the Nexus 5) wallpapers.

Portrait photos rotated 90 degrees

Great app!!

Any way to fix it so my pictures taken with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 & Note 10.1 2014 edition in portrait mode show up in portrait mode instead of being rotated?

As I understand this issue, Samsung stores all pictures as landscape, with the rotation stored in the exif file.

The picture shows the proper rotation in some apps but not others.

For example, the pictures show correctly in gallery and in quickpic but not in wallpaper changer.

I am pretty sure this issue affects all Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets sold recently.

Here is the bug report: http://j4velin-systems.de/bugtracker/view.php?id=360

Update: 2014-03-14 "will be fixed in the next version"
