Good work
Hi, I've installed. And I very like your QR Code and effort to install.
I really like your design. And the way how you did the first tutorial.
I've installed, clicked on my images from gallery and created first art.
I am from Switzerland and in case you did good work on icons, there is absolute no language issue. Very easy to understand. When I saw the first samples of Acolart I was impressed.
And I like that you have not implemented ads. Please keep that. I will keep your app on my phone!!
My recommendations:
1. Don't ask for rating on first time. Keep in mind, on first time user can do serveral things wrong and has for example not perfect library. What he is rating is not what you need.
2. When you ask for rating, ask if he has any problems before you want his rating. If he has problems, ask if you can get his suggestion and not go to rating page on this point. Your rating are worse just in the case you are asking wrong, not in case the app is not good.
3. The Save-Methode should be change. That is bad. Use Windows methodes and move to a "next page". And more important, move back to main view after the image has safed. And dont ask for "Back to select another language"? The app crashed because I did not select something quickly at this question.
4. You should register the app as "Editor" in Windows Phone. That is important to allow user to click the app after he has made any picture and look at his gallery.
If you need help, I can assist you (WP developer too).
I ratet 5 stars. Keep that way you are working on it...

Where can WE get it?
UPDATE: neverming! You hyperlinked...
Pretty nice
I couldn't use it because a lot of tiles I have are not in the database. It is a really nice concept an I can only see it getting better.
Sorry, but this would be a nightmare for developers.
Even though I like it from a user point of view.

Hmm. Can you elaborate why is it a nightmare?
Live tiles are already a nightmare as MS brings more accent colors to the mix. You need to find colors that would look nice on all 20 (you are left with either white or black). If you make tiles shift colors like that, then they lose a lot of their usability, because info displayed on them will not be readable anymore under all circumstances, and developers can;t do squat about it.
This is why most apps don't use a live tile or if they do, they do not use dynamic backgrounds, which kinda nullify your theme as colors will be hard coded.
If your app has a live tile with a transparent background, meaning you are using the theme colour, you will be using white colour for your live tile info. I think this is pretty standard and every app is doing this. I dont think app developer skip the live tile due to trying to cater to theme colours, but rather they have no meaningful info to show. As long as you are using the standard white colour, you have nothing to worry about readability. The users will ensure the custom theme they use will allow them to read the live tile.
Just an update.
New Skinery update has been released
- Added Viber, Wikipedia, Social Scout, Facebook JDB, Alarms, Basic Calculator, Accounts, Location and Lockscreen apps.
More apps are coming online every week so do not get left out! Contact us to get your app integrated: [email protected]
They can always using a flip tile to chow info even with hard coded stuff.
The fact is, live tiles are a bit of a challenge for developers and many (trust me i am a developer myself) choose to skip this because it is way too tiresome for them. Take for instance CNN: it doesn't have a live tile when it has quite a lot of meaningful info to show.
I love the idea cause in IMO the start screen really sucks as far as looks go. It need a settings menu though for more options like deleting and whatnot. Not that in a Dev or anything. Nice app though.
Amazing app!

[THEME] Opulence - One-Click Downloadable Home-Screen

PrecieUX: Opulence is a one-click-applicable home screen decoration pack for BuzzLauncher users. Even if you have never used BuzzLauncher before, you can easily apply this beautiful home screen on your own device (whichever phone it may be) with a few clicks. If you do find it appealing, how-to-apply procedures are prepared for you at the bottom of this post.
Before moving on, please watch the teaser video I've prepared for you. I took time and care producing this video, so please watch in HD!
As the video read, certain privileges are available to only a number of special people. . . people like you. Opulence will bring the luxurious life-style that you deserve to your phone.
Ground up photoshopped matching pixel-to-pixel accuracy, tile-icons boast elegant details in even the phones with the highest resolution available in market today: Full HD (1920 x 1080). Designed and developed using Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4, Opulence is compatible with devices with other resolutions such as but not limited to HD (1280 x 720) or WVGA (800 x 480). Do not worry whether Opulence is going to look the same on your phone, because BuzzLauncher will automatically adjust layout and size of icons for your phone, whichever screen-size or resolution it may have.
Opulence is composed of 3 tabs: Main, Media and RSS. When you're in each of the three tabs, bottom of the tab you're in will glow to indicate the tab you're in. To switch to a certain tab, simply touch the tab you wish to switch to. Switching tab-to-tab is simply gorgeous: it feels like turning on a light-bulb by pressing on it.
The first tab of Opulence is "Main". Graceful widgets intuitively deliver to you information regarding date, time, your schedule, location and the weather. It has never been easier to see the important information so conveniently and so tastefully. Bottom third of the screen has short-cuts to the most necessary functions of your smartphone: downloading new applications, contacting your friends through social network services (folder containing short-cuts to different apps) and using your telephony services. The bottom dock is constant in all 3 tabs. Left tells you the percentage of battery you have left, and right tells you the time. Pressing the "Apps" icon will summon your phone's app-drawer that has all of your applications.
The second tab is your playground. It is worth a lot to live up to tight schedules, but sometimes you should enjoy good music or watch sensational movies. A big album-art of the album you're listening to decorates your second tab, so this tab will be automatically personalised to you individually according to the music you prefer. Without having to leave your home-screen, you can control your music player using the stylish control-icons already prepared for you. The Internet icon connects you to Google Chrome (but the short-cut can be directed to another application if you prefer another browser), and the Multimedia icon is a folder that contains apps most frequently used when listening to music or viewing your pictures and videos.
The third tab, as its name implies, has a gigantic RSS reader widget. Just pull out your phone from your pocket and unlock; the information you want to read will be updated and ready for you. (Press the bottom right corner of the RSS widget to add/remove RSS feeds). If the website you like does not support RSS, you can also choose to make bookmarks to your favorite websites and store them in the Bookmarks folder on the same screen.
To have PrecieUX: Opulence as your home-screen, please follow these steps:
* for convenience, you can choose to access http://www.bluepremium.co.kr/entry/PrecieUX-Opulence-Global. Then you can simply press on the following links.
1. Download and install BuzzLauncher by Buzzpia. Link: http://goo.gl/zSTxU
2. Access PrecieUX: Opulence homepack page: http://goo.gl/THRmS
3. Press "Download"
4. After applying Homepack, you can apply icons as you wish by downloading the icon pack for Opulence from the following link: http://bluepremium.co.kr/attachment/[email protected]
5. If you like Opulence, please take a minute to press the "like" button on Buzz Launcher. I've thoroughly explained the process in the following link.
http://bluepremium.co.kr/236. 1 minute you spare for me will mean a lot to me. Thank you.
Thank you, and enjoy your opulent life-style.

[WATCHFACE] Pixels Watchface

Hi XDA guys,
Let me introduce you my second watchface for Android Wear, available on Google Play for free.
This is a very simple watchface, no useless stuff, no useless draws, no useless feature. Only brighting dots on a grid which represents the time, the wear battery level (as a gauge on the left of the screen), the mobile battery level (as an inverted gauge on the right of the screen), and the date.
A very nice animation is showing each time a digit has to change. Also a smooth and discreet glow animation is showing on leaving ambient mode for interactive mode.
Note that this application is fully optimized to save your battery life, only one computation per minute !
Retro and futurist at the same time, let be seduced by the lot of available colors for the brighting dots and the "non-brighting" dots.
If you dislike the square pixels, try to set the "dots style" to round in the settings (from wear or mobile companion app).
It could be adapted for square wears if the "arc gauges" hurt your eyes : simply set the battery style to "lines".
Many formats are available for the date, for each taste
Free on Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.yochi376.dotswatchface
Can you please keep me informed if any issue occurs, or if you have some more requirements for this watchface ? I will be a pleasure to develop this watchface for you.
Here are some previews :

Thanks guys for your positive feedback

Hi Redbred, it's not so hard to make these kind of images. I'm currently using Gimp. Use the deformation tools for the "parallaxe" effect on a real watch. And for the "mirror" effect, just copy-past your image in a new layer, apply a vertical mirror transformation, then add a "layer mask" on this layer, and finally a gradient on this one.
Here's a simple tutorial (in french, sorry !) http://www.clubic.com/telecharger/logiciel-retouche-photo/the-gimp/aide-astuce-tuto/faire-un-effet-miroir-avec-gimp-14872.html
Hi guys,
Lots of evolutions has been released in the last version on Google Play
Could you help me to have more reviews / feedbacks ? I really want to make it as perfect as possible !
Thanks again for your support,
Anthony
Luv it! So great! Thx.

Fantastic EMUI Features and Where to Find them

The EMUI has evolved for several years and is getting stronger and more user-friendly day-by-day. For heavy smartphone users like me, I know basically every small feature of the system, however, I found some of them particularly useful. Today I’m going to share with you some of the less-noticeable features which help me every day.
The most easy-to-use to-do list
How many of you keep the habit of listing to-dos? For procrastinators like myself, I found it difficult to get things done if I’m without a TDL (“to-do list”). And here is when the to-do of the EMUI Notes app got discovered by me!
I know some of you might wonder, there are tons of TDL apps on the market, why should I use a stock app? I’ll tell you why: easy to use and simple to maintain! You just go to your Notes app, or add a To-dos widget on your screen, and you’re good to go!
The To-dos is very straightforward yet useful enough: just add your to-do and set a timer or a location (or not), and mark the importance (if needed), and it’s done! It’s so fulfilling to cross items off, and feel the happiness of getting things done!
Multi-screen collaboration
When you talk about EMUI’s amazing features, the one feature that cannot be missed is Multi-screen collaboration.
When I’m at work, or when I have a low battery, I don’t want to raise my phone too constantly in case my thoughts are interrupted. Therefore I will enable the [Huawei Share] on my phone, and put it close to my Huawei laptop. And bang! My phone screen will appear on my laptop, and I don’t need to stare at the small phone screen anymore! I can look for files, reply to my messages, and even answer my calls on the PC!
A super cool and super-easy way to manage files
This one is not that different from the second feature. It’s actually included in the "Multi-screen collaboration" feature, but it’s so convenient and useful that I have shared with everyone who uses a Huawei phone and a Huawei laptop: File cooperation!
Just go to your phone storage and find any files which you want to view or edit. You can click it directly and start editing it on your laptop; or, you can just drag it out to a PC folder!
And, don’t worry about the screen-on time will drain out your battery. Once you start operating the phone on your laptop, your phone screen will automatically go dark, saving battery for you!
Ring-tone maker
I don’t know about you guys, but I am a person who simply hates the ringtones which come with the system. No offense to the ringtones and to those who use them, it’s just a habit of me.
If you happen to be one of my kind, you will be truly grateful for this feature: ring-tone maker!
Just download the music you like, and play it with the Huawei Music app, where you can find a small bell icon. Tap on the bell icon, and you are free to define your own ringtone!
I know some other music apps might also support this feature, but those apps sometimes cannot set 2 different ringtones for the 2 SIM cards I have. So in the end, it’s the Huawei Music app’s ring-tone maker that wins my heart!
These are the 4 small lesser-known tricks that I found truly useful for my daily life. If you haven’t tried them out, try it now! I'm also trying all the new features on my recently purchased Mate 40 Pro! If you want to know about EMUI tricks on the new flagship, leave a comment and let me know! See you next time!

General Product Review | OPPO Reno8 5G | OPPO Ambassador (Part 2)

Continuing from Part 1.
3. Best ColorOS Features
There are so many personalization features in Reno8 5G, and these are the ones that I like and useful to me.

[Lock Screen Magazine]
I will have a different beautiful image to look at every time I need to unlock my phone. For me, it’s like having a surprise. Also, I can access some news and information related to the image and I don’t need to unlock the phone to access it. If I want to, I can add my own photos to the carousel wallpapers.[Always on Display]
It is interesting that I can add text and image to it. I can put a reminder for other people not to touch or play with my phone
[Google Lens in Camera and Photo Gallery]
Another awesome feature embedded in phone’s camera and photo gallery. As we know, we use google lens to find information on something from an image. Usually, I will need to access the Lens app and work from there. But this time, the Lens icon has already inside the camera and photo gallery. So, I just view the photo from the gallery and press Lens icon, VOILA! The information related to the photo is there. Efficient! Love this!
in Camera app​In Photo gallery​Result and tools to search further​
In terms of productivity, these are really helpful :
[Multi-screen connect]
It provides seamless connectivity between my laptop and phone, no more cables needed. Moving my files is as easy as select, drag and drop. I can control my phone from my laptop too.
Since Reno8 5G doesn’t have an SD card slot, at certain period, I will need to move some of my files from phone to laptop.
(in Windows 10, drag and drop might not work, so after files are selected from the phone, click send and choose multi-screen connect)
[One-handed mode]
There are instances that I have one hand occupied. And, at the same time, I need to respond to urgent text or access other function. This feature comes very handy to that situation.[Flexible windows – mini mode]
This is useful when I need to work on two apps at the same time[Raise to wake]
I just raise my phone and it automatically brings me to the lock screen. No double tap or pressing side button.[Partial Screenshot]
Before this, I need to crop the full screenshot image if I want to use partial of it. With this feature, I can skip one step. Effective!
I am glad to know that OPPO goes beyond to provide security and protect the privacy of smartphone user. Enable these features are a must!
[Pseudo base station blocking]
In Singapore, we have DNC (Do Not Call) service to block incoming calls and SMSs from tele-marketer, but it does not always work for fraudulent calls/SMSs from scammers. This feature will provide a shield by intercepting messages/calls from counterfeit numbers used by criminals. It is important for me to enable this feature because I am so tired receiving spam calls and messages.[Require password to power off]​
This feature is very straightforward. If my phone gets stolen, I still have time to locate it[Privacy Dashboard]
This is like a compilation of which app use what function related to permission given to the apps.
Sometimes I do random a check for location and camera.
I don’t want to see any app with no permission using these two functions.
If I want to change permission for certain app, it can be done from here as well.
Cool features that I am not using (for now) but it’s worth mentioning because they are so awesome and might be useful for me one day.
[Smart notification hiding]
If you feel annoyed by your close one who likes to peep/check your phone when there’s notifications, this feature will save you. If the front camera detects someone other than phone owner is looking at the phone, the content of notification will be hidden. How cool is that?[System cloner]
System cloner will create a separate system for certain app and a separate password is needed to access it. It’s like having 2 rooms with 2 keys in 1 place. I like to have this option, it might be useful for me one day.[Retouch appearance in video calls]
I was intrigued when I found this in settings. When using video call, of course I want to be in my best look. And the Reno8 5G has a setting for that. Currently, it’s only working for Facebook Messenger. Hopefully, it will be extended to other apps, e.g. Zoom, WhatsApp, Instagram.
[Air Gestures]
This is actually a very awesome concept since scrolling through social media has been a part of daily activity. Scrolling without even touching the screen, that is what Air Gestures about. Front camera will detect your palm and flick your palm up or down to scroll.
Air Gestures experience has not been smooth for me. Sometimes the palm motion is not detected so I need to put it at a little odd angle for the camera to detect.
As I said before, this is a very awesome concept, but improvement is needed.

To be continued in Part 3.
