Material Photo Widget

about

description

**Material Photo Widget** is as simple as it can be: a home screen widget to display your favorite photos. It is a free, no-ads, open source alternative for people who want to customize their home screen. * _Create a slideshow from your favorite photos_ * _Create shortcuts to open other apps_ * _Put your schedule on your home screen_ * _Your membership passes one tap away_ It's **easy** and **simple** to add a new widget with your photos. **FEATURES** * Choose photos individually or sync with device folders * Set an interval or schedule to create a slideshow and switch photos automatically * Your widgets are shortcuts — customize tap actions for each of your widgets, viewing your photos in full screen, opening an app or URL * Customizable borders, opacity, saturation, brightness, offset and padding to create your perfect home screen * 6 formats to choose from: Shapes, Square, Tall, Wide, Original and Fill * 28 different shapes **HOW TO USE** Open the app and tap "Create a new widget" directly from the home screen. Add your photos, choose the appearance and behaviors and tap "Add to home screen". That's it! You can also long press on your home screen, open the widget menu and search for "Material Photo Widget", then configure your new widget the same way. **MY WIDGET DOES NOT APPEAR** The app consumes very little power and runs on the background when needed (to switch photos, for example). Because it's rarely being actively used, it can be stopped by Android as the system prioritizes the most used apps when trying to optimize the battery duration. If you are facing this problem, remove any battery or memory restrictions from the app. You can also search for your device brand on https://dontkillmyapp.com and follow their instructions to improve the behavior of apps that mostly run on the background. Some phones can prevent apps from starting themselves after restarting the device, making the widget can appear broken. If that's happening, you must grant permission for the app to "auto start" through your settings or security app. **PERMISSIONS** * RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED — Required to restore widgets after a device restart. Some device manufacturers may block this by default. You might need to enable it manually via your device's "auto-start" or similar setting. * SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM — Optional. Grants the app the ability to update widget photos at precise intervals, ensuring they follow your selected schedule exactly. The app does not require any storage permissions. Photos, directories and shortcut apps are selected using the native pickers and stored within the app to keep data private and secure. There's no tracking or network communication. **Material Photo Widget** is an open-source project, find the code and submit feedback at https://github.com/fibelatti/photo-widget * Vectors and icons by Dazzle Ui (https://dazzleui.gumroad.com/l/dazzleiconsfree?ref=svgrepo.com) in CC Attribution License via https://www.svgrepo.com/ * Store listing screenshots were generated with https://screenshots.pro
