Is the parallax effect you are referring to this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aub0glu20VQ

If so, this is actually a series of image files that are layered on top of eachother to create the effect, whereas images pulled from Reddit are only a single PNG/JPEG etc. My apologies for the wording, but the parallax mentioned in my app is the side-scrolling effect when swiping between home screen pages.

The effect looks great, but unfortunately I don't think that would be conveniently available for the app via Reddit posts. I'll update the wording in the app to avoid confusion.

About the crop option, I do have some features planned to allow more post-processing on the applied wallpapers.
[Android Apps and Games] romualdrichard:
Hi,

The parallax effect it this one. I mean the side-scrolling too. It'is not working with my phone. But, the parallax is working.
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
Interesting, I'll see what I can do to fix that - thanks for the feedback!

[Android Apps and Games] CAHbKA5567:
Leeco cool 1, rr 7.0.2 pie. Lockscreen wallpaper isn't changed along with homescreen. Please fix! The app is perfect!
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
At the moment, heavily modified Android versions like XiaoMi, Huawei, and a few others don't use a standard lockscreen so the app can't communicate with them. I'm testing some solutions and hope to find a workaround. Do other wallpaper apps like Google Wallpapers work for your lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] Dead_Dude:
Insta-buy on the app.

Any plans on releasing a 'paid only' version with no ad trackers?

I ask because I am prone to not remembering specific apps that are 'set it and forget it' like this one; I tend to reinstall all my paid apps on a new device.
[Android Apps and Games] CAHbKA5567:
Yeah. Please solve this.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

Also when I switched to google wallpapers to know for sure, the old reddit's wallpaper from homescreen applied to lockscreen after I switched back but they are still different because the new one applied only for homescreen again

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

This also appears for me when image is too wide
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
Thank you!

I don't plan on releasing a paid-only version of the app, but if it brings any reassurance the ad service is not initialized at all if the user has removed ads. Most apps usually just stop the loading of individual ads, but in this case, the app won't even connect to the ad service.
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
Thanks for pointing this out, can you send a bug report from within the app so I can look over your error logs? You can find it at About -> Report Bugs. If you're concerned about privacy, I'll only be able to view your device model and stack trace, so it's relatively anonymous.
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
It's been a bit since an update, but here's a preview of what's coming:
[Android Apps and Games] KollerEthan15:
Hi,

The app is great but doesn't work well on my xiaomi Mi8 Lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] djsolnok:
Auto rotate

Is there a way to get the wallpaper to auto rotate. My launcher flips everything except the wallpaper. Is there a setting in the app that I'm overlooking?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hey, it's me again. The lock screen status bar bug is still present. Are you aware? I don't want to bother you asking for ETA on a free app.
[Android Apps and Games] zohar_ml:
I switched to this wallpaper changer some weeks ago and I find it much better. The best thing is that I hardly get twice the same image, and the fact that I can easily select any image list.

Two things that could make this app even better:

1)	Set profiles by time. This way it can be easy to have NSFW images only at specific time frame.

2)	Allow swipe down to refresh the image history list. Many times I have the app at that list, and the only way to refresh now is to get out and in again.

Thanks for this great app!
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
These are some great ideas, I'll see what I can do to implement them. Thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] msegmx:
Nice app. It works fine, wallpapers rotate every hour. One thing though, I couldn't make the post filter work.

I want the wallpaper darker, so I activated the option but it doesn't have any effect. Is there something I have to consider first?

Edit: oops, it does work! I had to lower the default value of 75% to see the difference.
[Android Apps and Games] repulse:
Any plan to make an AndroidTV compatible version, to replace stock daydream wallpaper ?
[Android Apps and Games] loketa:
What amazing app, thanks dev.

I just want to notice that the app stops changing photos if the phone was offline when the next change happen when the phone still not connected.

Hope we can see dark mode soon and making next wallpaper pre-downloaded to make changing faster.

I hope u give us an option to see "Updating" notification only without the result response (Updated, Error).

Thanks again and have a great day/night.
[Android Apps and Games] Molitann:
Hello, I can translate the app into Czech language if you are interested. I just messaged you on reddit, posting here as well just to be sure.

The Wallpaper Blur Effect Bug on Homescreen

The most customizable wallpaper app, ever built, in my openion, is the RWC. Saying that, there's some serious bug issue when applying wallpapers, the blurr effect occurs randomly on the homescreen (With or without turning on the blur effect in settings). Please look into it. It's very annoying.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Damoedge:
This is a great app the best for wallpaper on android!

Thanks for your great work on this project

I have noticed that the wallpaper will not change after some time passes by...the only thing I can think of on my system that is causing this greenify

Edit,

I uninstalled greenify and it works ok now, I only use greenify for Facebook and messenger so this must be some sort of bug?
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
Hi Loketa, thanks for reporting - it should postpone the update when the device is offline but I'll test it further in case there's another issue. I like the idea about an 'updating' notification, I'll include that in the 'Notification Options' section.

I believe one other person reported this, but I haven't been able to reproduce it yet. I'll look into it, but in the meantime, try toggling on & off the blur effect option and others and see if it might resolve it.

The app is quite fragile with some manufacturer versions of Android (Oxygen OS, MIUI), the system will sometimes kill the background service without warning. I recommend turning off 'Battery Optimization' for this app if you haven't yet. I've actually experienced this problem on my daily device (Oxygen OS) but not on my test device running pure AOSP.
[Android Apps and Games] lpchaim:
Hey OP, thanks a lot for the app, by far the best solution I found out there. Really appreciate all the options and thought put into everything.

That said, I'd like to report odd behavior with my tablet if that's alright. Works perfectly on my phone but whenever I apply something on the tablet, it seems some scaling oddity goes on with the main wallpaper that isn't visible on the lockscreen. It looks jagged and is cropped slightly differently, to the point it doesn't "align" with the lockscreen upon unlocking as it always does on my phone. No effects are checked in the app either. I've attached comparison pics for reference. It's a Mi Pad 4 so maybe a 18:9 quirk?

Thanks again, cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
I'll take a look at this, thanks for mentioning it - it does seem to be something with the lockscreen scaling, and I've also had a lot of reports and bug troubles with XiaoMi devices since they use a custom service for wallpaper managment. Viewing your screenshot, it looks like it has to do with the way the status bar is handled by the system on the lockscreen - it doesn't factor it in screen size like it does on the homescreen. In the meantime, try toggling the "Crop to home screen" option on and see if that makes the scales match for both screens.

--

To those who have PM'd or emailed me asking about fixes for the wallpaper not auto-updating after a few days, a fix is on the way but it'll take some more time. Google has overhauled their background service library recently, so the app will be transitioning over to that - it is much more consistent in testing so far.
[Android Apps and Games] lpchaim:
Much appreciated, thank you. I'll try that.

Oh and just a side note, my device is running LineageOS 16 right now so no MIUI quirks should be involved in this particular case.
[Android Apps and Games] CryogenLab:
great if you want specific meme images from reddit and such lol
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
The next update is going through some automated unit tests before it's ready for release. The background service has been rewritten entirely with Google's new Worker service, so it should be much more reliable (if not 100% of the time). A couple more highly requested features coming as well.

Also, updated the thread with a new poll, have a look!
[Android Apps and Games] the.senpai.king:
Mine did the same thing. I wish I read this before doing it.
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
I'm sorry to hear that this is continuing to happen, this type of crash is at highest priority. The issue I've reported on Google's Bug Tracker has been marked as 'Resolved' as this has been fixed in current Android versions. I can't confirm that this fix applies to all variants of Android besides AOSP stock, as some manufacturers run their own distributions of SystemUI in Android. (Issue thread: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/126331904)

The app currently has precautions in place to mitigate this problem, in collaboration with other developers, as this has been seen in various other wallpaper apps. If you have any additional details about what happened before and during the crash, I will ensure that it is tested for future releases and submitted to Google.

Once again, apologies for any troubles this may have caused you.

UPDATE 3.10 (Dec 26, 2019)

>> Play Store Download (Rolling out, may take a few hours after this post)

>> XDA Labs Download (Live)

• Rebuilt auto-update system - Now updates wallpapers more reliably

• Option to skip recent wallpapers to prevent duplicates

• Android Q (10.0) compatibility

• Improved sticky notification

• Fixed Quick Settings tile, and many other bugs

• More UI tweaks to prepare for future redesign

Extra notes:

- '1 minute' update frequency has been replaced with '15 minutes' for 2 reasons: Reddit API policy, and WorkRequest SDK limitations in the background service rework.

- Tasker users: Wallpaper updates will no longer consider network and battery conditions when triggering via Tasker, in case you wanted to override them.
[Android Apps and Games] Masamune3210:
Having a issue with the latest update. App refuses to change wallpaper unless triggered manually. States that the battery is too low even though the battery setting is set to off
[Android Apps and Games] Duskycub:
For me also on Android 10.3.0 basically unuseable
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
Thanks for the report, I've just fixed it - the patch is rolling out, it should show up in the Play Store a few hours after this post.
[Android Apps and Games] solid.snake:
Hello,

Here is a suggestion : as there is no more 1 minute update frequency, can you implement the possibility to Re-use cached wallpapers instead ?
[Android Apps and Games] Damoedge:
It would be great if you could still give the user a choice on the refresh time, ok so 1 minute is not possible because of android restrictions but maybe give the user a choice of 5 and 10 mins even at 10 mins we would see 6 wallpapers per hour ?

Thanks for your hard work on this project!
[Android Apps and Games] zohar_ml:
For a long time now I’m having problems with the schedule.

After some auto changes the app stops to update the background.

When I started to use the app the schedule worked good. But for the last few weeks it hardly works for 3-2 images and then stops. (this started before V3.1)

I have a OnePlus 5T running custom android 9 rom (DerpFest).

I set the app battery optimization to “not optimized”

I tested both 3 and 1 hour schedule time, with no difference.

Will be happy go give any needed log/debug to help fix this.

--------

I've did the following: wipe dalvik & cache and disabled the low battery mode in the app. Now it changed 9 backgrounds in 1 hours gaps!
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
Hey, thanks for reporting this, I'll look into it. Could you send the bug report from within the app so I can trace logs? You'll find it from the 3-dot menu in the toolbar, About -> Report Bugs. In the meantime, try clearing the app data, it's possible that there are some old settings conflicting with the update service.
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
A small preview of a long awaited feature:
[Android Apps and Games] zohar_ml:
Black is the new white!
[Android Apps and Games] Pjotrofsky:
Hi there, great app! But somehow all the image effect don't work on my OnePlus 7 Pro! For example whatever I do the picture is zoomed in (missing pieces off the edges.)

Am I doing something wrong or is it something with the phone or is it something with the app?

If you like I would like to try and translate the app in Dutch. If you can add me to the translation team?
[Android Apps and Games] Spaceboy60:
Doesn't update my lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] zohar_ml:
Is it history log is used to limit a picture to show twice in short time?

If it is, is it possible to make the log longer than 50 images.

I have a new image each 4 hr => 50 images in 8 days. I currently have an image I saw not long ago.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Pjotrofsky:
Can you include a (auto) picture download function? So that the pictures that the app gets from Reddit are automatically being saved.

Oh and can you add user feeds so you get pictures from specific users.
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
Seen a couple reports of this, I'll work on improving on catching duplicates.

I like these ideas, auto-download is planned once I can improve network reliability with the app. User feeds will probably come with official multireddit support (/m/ format), but may take some time while other issues get sorted.
[Android Apps and Games] Pjotrofsky:
Can you help me with these problems, I still have them!
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
Hi, I also have the OnePlus 7 Pro - I believe what you're describing is that the image is centered on the screen, only showing the middle portion. On the lockscreen, this is intentional to make sure that the image isn't stretched/distorted. On the homescreen, you can allow the wallpaper to scroll with your homescreen pages by unchecking "Crop wallpaper to homescreen" under "Image & Post Options". If the issue still occurs with this option turned off, you can also try verifying related settings in your system launcher (OnePlus Launcher, Nova Launcher, etc.). Let me know if neither of these resolve the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Pjotrofsky:
Ok, thanks for your help with this problem!

I've tested a few things:

Normally I use Nova Launcher as my default Launcher but for testing purposes I switched back to the stock OnePlus Launcher (which has the same issue)

I have checked the "Crop wallpaper to homescreen" because I have only 1 homescreen and don't/can't scroll through to a next one. If I add a seccond screen the wallpaper stays the same (as it should be since I checked "Crop wallpaper to homescreen")

Maybe somewhere my settings (in the phone) are wrong?

I've made some screenshots to make the problem a little more insightful:

The original wallpaper from Reddit (you see that the car has space next to it)

The wallpaper displayed on my OnePlus screen
[Android Apps and Games] Frog$kyWater:
Exactly what i needed !

Btw, the app design is simple and classy, love it

I face no issues, it works quite good
[Android Apps and Games] sajgon338:
Not working for me. I get toast about downloading image and then nothing happens...
[Android Apps and Games] Blueqq2:
great application I recommend
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
You're right, thanks for clarifying. I can add the option to fit the image into the screen, although you would have black bars on the top and bottom due to maintaining the original image ratio (most users prefer not to do this).

Could you provide more details? (Device/OS version, subreddits, error messages, only from auto-change or manual change)
[Android Apps and Games] Pjotrofsky:
I'd like that, if you make it an option everybody can choose what they want.

btw, my offer to help translate the app into Dutch still stands!
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
Sure, I'll add the option although it may come in a later update since I'm wrapping up the next one.

I've shifted priority away from localization for now but I'd still gladly appreciate translations. I've added Dutch to the translation project here: https://redditwallpapers.oneskyapp.com/collaboration/project?id=15655
[Android Apps and Games] cmohan0004:
I have enabled scheduled settings for every one hour , it works great but is it possible to set a time duration when wallpaper won't change/fetch, like during night time while sleeping.
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
This feature is ready, it will be in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] tplocic20:
Hello guys :)

This app is great. Until now I was using ifttt and this is miles ahead :)

I have two suggestions:

1. Allow to add option to show shadow at top of image. It will improve status bar visibility (I think nova launcher had similar option)

2. Allow to save image as favourite and it will not be favourite from history (or be kept in separated space).

Why? Because sometimes there are less good pictures and it could be nice to go back to the favourite one :) (yes I know I can simply refresh wallpaper, but somehow I'm always coming back to that one picture)
[Android Apps and Games] akafoxter:
More details on notification

Hi! Love this app! Neat and clean. Use it all the time. Can you please make it so that the notification shows which subreddit failed to produce a wallpaper? So we can change the settings or delete the subreddit accordingly. This is the only issue I have. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] kris_95:
Love the app, only having one problem, it mostly changing to old used images and only after selecting new wallpaper 15+ times I'm getting a new one. Even skip duplicate option is on. Please fix this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Poubelle.Grise:
It would be nice to be able to go to the image history page in the app and swipe to delete images. Right now it's all or nothing regarding image delete. Selectively deleting would allow one to save favorite images and have a personal choice of up to 50 images to chose from and use based on mood as needed. Thanks for a great app! :D

Missing downloads folder

Hello, first amazing app. Best, app ever.

Now the problem, I am trying to track down the downloads folder, but it seems that I just can't find it.:(:confused::crying:

I checked the "Internal Storage/Pictures" folder for the "RedditWallpapers", but the folder doesn't exists (should I create it? If I reinstalled the app would it create it?) I also checked the "Downloads" folder.

I also tried using the folder icon on the "image history" screen, but it doesn't do anything. When I long press it says "Open Downloads Folder" (are those instructions or is the button supposed to actually open the folder? Can the long press toast actually provide the location it is supposed to be, maybe I can use my files app to go there myself?)

--------

*Device model: chiron Mi MIX 2 (lineage_chiron)

*Android OS Version: 29

*App Build: v3.11.1:f

--------
[Android Apps and Games] chibichuba:
The app should create the folder if it doesn't already exist, as long as the app already has Storage permission granted. If you're coming from a previous app version, double-check the permission in case it was disabled again. Another possibility is that since the app actually writes to 'getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)', on certain devices may actually be on a different storage partition such as 'SD_CARD/Pictures' or similar.

Thanks for the suggestion for adding the path to the toast, I'll go ahead and improve this functionality as well as check if there are any bugs with finding the storage path.
[Android Apps and Games] classicLoner:
Yes "storage" permission is allowed.

Is single pressing it supposed to open it?

Because right now it just as if it is non-responsive.

Can it create it if it doesn't exist and then open it?

________

In terms of the folder icon, any chance you are open to some functionality suggestions.

In terms of functionality it would be amazing if it had the following:

Open the folder in gallery app (user doesn't have to find it, can also create if doesn't exists)

Set the destination (User can change or create folder if doesn't exists)

Adding the "set destination" gives the added benefit of some customization and take care of any weird scenarios (could be a pro feature if you wish)

Possible idea: If pressing icon brings up a drawer (menu) from bottom, with the 2 above options.

(The above is a much bigger change and is not as simple as updating the toast)
