Wallpaper Express out now!

Hi all,

After some months of diving into Kotlin & Android Studio, I just finished my app "Wallpaper Express" which is now available for download on Google Play Store.

I love photography and also love coding, so I tried to put both together and create a wallpaper app featuring my own image portfolio which I built over the last years. While other wallpaper apps just grab and show content from license free image sites, Wallpaper Express has a unique set of images. It took mesome time learn Kotlin/Java/Android Studio, but I finally made it.



Let me know if you like Wallpaper Express and if you see room for improvement:

Bookmarks in Chrome or any other browser

If a browser tried to copy my bookmark bar on a phone I'd have to be able to scroll sidewards to see more than a couple of folders, then open the folder and select the bookmark. Unless you only have a few bookmarks you are going to be using multiple clicks no matter what. If you do only have a few bookmarks many browsers will let you store those on a "start" page (so click button to open a new tab, click bookmark, done). I don't know about Chrome as I don't use that on any device.

I don't use bookmarks to save typing, I use them to save having to remember the full url (text completion doesn't necessarily find the right page in a site, even less propose it as the first result). So I think they have different purposes for you and I.

Anyway you say you want your bookmarks "from Google", so aren't you basically saying you need to use Chrome? Other browsers may sync with their own desktop versions, but they won't sync with Google, so if that is your requirement you are surely stuck with Chrome?

Umoveable home screen lock,unlock button

I think you are correct. However, after a changed to the Huawei Home launcher and uninstalled Microsofy Launcher it remained but was inactive. I chaned back to Microsoft Launcher and my Home Screen returned exactly as it had been, including the widget. However I was able to move the widget to the very top right of the screen where it is not a pron]blem, so the problem is essentially solved. Thank you.

where are all the files

thanks for the continuing reply Hadron, I got diskUsage, its interesting and shows a shocking 16.4gb of "system data" which would seem to be my mystery space usage, and not quite sure if I'm seeing the actual files in there on the right side brown colored lists of files.

its a bit confusing how to use this and haven't found any tutorials or how to use posts that explain much of anything

it seems once you select a category like "system data" it shows that it is selected by a white outline around the box but I'm not sure at this point if after selecting it, all the files that are in "system data" show up in the tan color section on the right, that is how it seems to work for other categories.

once I select "system data" there are 2 brown colored lists, top and bottom. there's a bunch of .apks and lots of files with no extension and no recognizable name but seem to be time stamps down to a millisecond like 2019_11_20_14_20_20_065 (yy-mm-dd,hh,mm.ss,ms) there are easily 000's of these

this lists are sorted (don't see any place to change the sort order) by file size, they range in size from about 100mb down to about 1mb, I'd say the majority range in size from 10mb to 1mb, some what hard to tell but maybe they could all add up to 14gb

I know I can delete the .apk files, but not sure about the files that have the time stamp for a file name.

don't see any way to do multiple deletes if those time stamp name files can in fact be deleted, it would be not be practical to delete them one by one

Help Moto G6 screen mirroring

I got a Moto G6 from Straight Talk. I like it but it seems to only support screen casting and not mirroring. It won't mirror on my Samsung TV. (My Galaxy S3 with Slim Rom will, however, so I know my TV works.)

I can't find a custom ROM to try on my G6, so before I give up on it, is there any way to get screen mirroring from my G6? Any solution has to not require an Internet connection because I live on a farm with no Internet. (I'm not interested in a lame sat Internet plan.)

My end goal: Be able to use my unlimited data plan to watch Netflix via screen mirroring so I can reserve my limited hot spot for other things.

Secure Folder 'Show Content' Notification Issue

Both occasions I've installed via Settings > Biometrics and Security

Interestingly it doesn't show under My Apps in the Galaxy Store, but it does show under my apps in the Play Store :thinking:

Current version says latest and is 1.4.01.63

when i do a search for Secure Folder in the Galaxy Store it doesn't show up

Interesting. I just assumed it was available in Galaxy Store. I don't use mine so afraid I'm of no help.
