I would like to ask to community to help out in a request to a developer.
Some of you many not know that the 3d Gallery app on our phones is NOT present in all 2.1+ android devices. While the Gallery itself maybe present access to Picasa is missing in some Sense based roms.
There is a fix for this being developed and is available in the market under the name, 3D Gallery. Here is where I would like you help.
At present the dev is doing nothing more then trying to make a clone of the gallery. He has just added Picasa access, but you will need to give the app your log-in details. This is not something that many users are willing to do as Picasa generally speaking is tied to the users main account.
What I would like to see is the dev give access to Picasa public galleries through username alone along with the ability for full access if both user and pass are given. Granted you will not be able to upload if user and pass are not given, but thats not really a big deal.
I think the one thing Google overlooked with the 3d Gallery was the ability to view albums you mark as favorites in your account. This app has the ability to give us this function, we just need to let the dev know that we want it.
This would be the PERFECT way to share wallpaper with each other, without the need to actually take up any storage on the phone itself.
I know Im not the only one that wants this, so please help out.
Send a copy of the following petition to the devs email address.
Email: support at flikie dot com
Copy petition below
I fully support the petition to add access to selected Picasa public albums inside of your 3D Gallery app. Access to said galleries should be entered through username alone and/or full web address.
Adding the ability to view public galleries gives us the perfect method to share wallpaper in a way that does not require using the phones storage.
Thank you for considering our request.

So was I wrong? Does no one really care about this?
I have tried all of the gallery apps with access to Picasa and they all have drawbacks, the main one being no ability to crop the image when setting as wallpaper.
Let me know Im not alone on this.
Why would you expect anyone here to care when then app they want came included on our phones?

Seriously? Did you bother to read my post past the first sentence?
The point is to add Picasa public folder browsing to the gallery. There are NO phones that come with this feature built into the Android 3d Gallery. There is little chance that we will see Google add this feature anytime in the near future. Since the dev I mentioned above is building a clone of the Android 3d Gallery there IS a good chance we can get HIM to add this feature.
I expect people at this forum to participate and not just take.

Hi everyone! Thank you for your help in getting CM up to a flawless standard! We are now almost ready to deploy CM 1.5 - it will include MMS blocking, Class0 auto replies and many other new and very cool features.
We need your help now to iron out any remaining bugs before we embark on a daemon rebuild. Please download the app from the market and get testing! Here are the issues we want to address specifically:
- If you have problems regaining 3G after the telephony restart. This should have been fixed. If not, please try "Slow radio restart" in Debugging and report your results!
- Issues moving list priorities on Light or Dark theme. Again, if you have issues, please switch to the other theme, try again and then report back.
- Notification color schemes. We are interested if the new notifications comply with the majority of frameworks.
Thank you in advance for all your great work, this ultra-awesome app is as much a child of yours as it is of ours

This is a fully functional application. However, after a 24 hour demo period it will start nagging you to buy the Key, which will remove all nag
screens and timeouts from the interface. The nag screens are pretty light though, so users who dont want to spend can live with them.

Downloading now to see what we have...
So? Anything to report?
"Just as with Root Call Blocker, Motorola seems to have a knack for releasing crappy proprietary radio drivers that cause connectivity issues when working with our native daemon."
Damn them, they should really work around your little app. What nerve!
My little app is the best app of its kind asshole.
Any issues to report with 1.2?
By the way, for those that dont know we released an app called SwitchMe that will, among other things, give you EVEN MORE PRIVACY:

Your app would be the best app of its kind if it had a built in private chat style sms. But since it doesnt I left to using RCB for the muted/ignore call function and Extreme Call Blocker invisible for everything else. That muted call function is what sets your app apart from the rest in my opinion....everything else you have is just regurgitation....which makes the app way more complex than it has to be.
And the daemon thing is an issue but worth it to have some radio troubles a couple times a day in exchange for the mute/ignore function you have. The only other MAJOR issue with your app is your attitude.....you support your apps but your responses are extemely disrespectful when they dont need to be. But halfdriven was also being an asshole for no reason about your app!!
We already have private SMS mate! Its just virtual - add the "Make private" action to your list, long press on the list to sweep the system logs and that's it. You can chat through your SMS app and dialer of choice and the app will move all the logs into Call Master.

I will try it again.the l fast time I tried it the sweep action took a while and was not consistently removing private texts....but that was several revisions back....I'll give it another go....thanks.
That's not possible. It ALWAYS works. It may simply take up to 15 seconds. You don't even have to have the messenger open.

Should I remove root call blocker before using this?
Its not necessary. But you should at least disable it.
Updated OP - impressions please!!!
This thing is rock solid thanks very much
Thanks, but what about my questions in the OP?

Im confused, do we need to purchase this app in order to test it out? If you need testers why would you make them pay to test this app? I looked through the thread and didnt find anything addressing this issue.
Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on the Flyer have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, bes sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well

SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.

Hello,
installed - actually without doing a nandroid ;o)
profile switching seems quite cool - how much is these things split up?
So if i use a profile to kids and one for work ?
can these be password protected?
If you buy it - could you provide screenshots of the lock screen?
else everything seems quite nice here

Hi guys! I would really appreciate some feedback regarding the new lockscreen!
Anyone at all?
i don't see much use for this app in my daily life. i don't share my tablet with many people and the ones i do share it with no not to **** with things they don't understand. Maybe useful if i wanted to switch between honeycomb and ICS ROM's but i don't know how much value that has
May be useful for rom testing

There are plenty of uses!
- lock your account away securely when youre away by logging off -
- use a profile to e-read without any apps at all to drain the battery and different clock settings
- perform all private messaging in another, password protected profile
- test applications
Theres something for everyone
well, I am interested in using this app on my 8.9, as I share my tablet with kids.
But I got it yesterday, so need some time to find a way to root and backup first.
PM me if you still need testers.

Hi, just installed SwitchMe to my new GT-P7310. Using rooted Stock Rom (A3.2). I have the free version (1.5.3.0) with two profiles and everything seems to be working as expected. I'll continue the testing and report if I'll encounter bugs or some other unexpected behavior. Thanks a lot for this great app!
Thanks, enjoy! Also, if you have suggestions, do let me know. I want to keep improving this one, its a favorite
I noticed that since 5.1.1 or (sometime around it's release) when I download an apk or an update from playstore, I am shown a list of service, broadcast receiver, activities, etc. with toggles. I am not sure if this is a result of one of the apps I have installed (like cm security, my android tools, amplify) or if it is just a new policy on google play. Anyone else see this? Is there a guideline as to what if any can be toggled and why I should/ should not mess with it. I've been reluctant to mess with anything up until now b/c I am not sure what this is. Can anyone direct me to a guideline thread or shed some light on it for me? Thanks in advance.
I've included some pictures of what I'm describing from a recent Dolphin upgrade from playstore.

someone can correct me if im wrong, but i believe i read somewhere thats some new features to help make users more aware of the permissions they agree to in more detail.
i dont recall it mentioning as in depth as the receivers, but it may have. for the most part, you really dont want to mess with those, otherwise the app could partially or completely stop working properly.
what you can and cant turn off is really going to be a case by case basis. i have tried doing some of that before, and tbh, its generally not worth the effort it takes to figure it all out. the battery gains are usually minimal to non existent. only thing some what useful is disabling the ad servers.
your really better off not touching any of those, unless you have a rogue issue you are trying to rectify.

That was just an example, it does that for all apps downloaded from Google play. Apparently, it is to disclose permissions required by apps more thoroughly. At the time that it I posted, it was a relatively new feature and I was wondering about it.
