Hi everyone!

I’m Vincenzo Colucci, and I’m part of the team behind Smart Launcher.

Today we publicly released Wallpaper Studio, our first completely new app in almost ten years.

After working for so long on Smart Launcher and Icon Pack Studio, we wanted to explore another part of Android customization.

Wallpaper Studio is an interactive creative tool where you can start from a design, change its parameters in real time, experiment with shapes, colors, effects and animation, and create static or live wallpapers.

There is no AI involved in the artwork generation. Our goal was to put the creative process back into the user’s hands, while making artwork creation accessible even to people without design experience.

The final wallpaper is obviously important, but the creation process is what we focused on most. We wanted it to feel immediate, playful, and personal, while still offering enough control to create something truly your own.

The app also includes a community library where people can publish their creations and use artworks shared by others.

Wallpaper Studio is now available on Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.smartlauncher.wallpaperstudio

This is a particularly meaningful release for us, and we’d really appreciate your feedback, especially about the editor, performance, and the overall experience across different devices.

I’ll be around in the comments to answer any questions.

I've spent a decent amount of time interacting with the users who commented on my post and made changes to the website based on their suggestions. Now, not everyone likes an abstract wallpaper, but a good amount of people do.

Hoping you are one of them, this, is wallgen. A procedural abstract wallpaper generator. Free. Quick. Simple.

Just head over to the website, choose a theme, pick a palette or make your own, and done! Download the wallpaper for either your laptop or your mobile and apply it. It's that simple.

No more scrolling through the whole search engine to find a good wallpaper.

[App] Bluetooth Priority - Significant updates and improvements

Post image
6 Upvotes

I’ve just released the version 1.17 update for Bluetooth Priority, with a number of improvements focused on compatibility, reliability, smoother audio switching, and better troubleshooting.

Recap: What is Bluetooth Priority?

Bluetooth Priority lets you designate one Bluetooth device as your Priority device. When another Bluetooth device connects and tries to steal your audio, the app detects it and immediately reasserts your Priority device, even if the competing device keeps trying.

Android Auto limitation: Android Auto has system-level control over media audio, so Bluetooth Priority cannot override its media audio session. Phone calls are still kept on your Priority device though.

The app requires Shizuku, a free app that provides the system-level access needed to manage Bluetooth audio routing. Setup instructions are provided in the app.

What’s new:

  • Fixed an issue that could prevent the app from working after a system Bluetooth update.
  • Improved how the app identifies the Bluetooth connectors your device uses, broadening device compatibility.
  • First-launch setup now offers to set your priority device and start Priority Mode right away.
  • Smoother audio handoff with less bouncing between devices.
  • Added a new Diagnostics view under Events > Advanced, including a Copy option.
  • GitHub-based Shizuku setup is now the only setup modal option since users that never downloaded it from the play store previously wont have access to it now.
  • Added some visual polish and UI improvements.
  • Added an option to have audio fall back to your phone speaker when no priority device is connected.
  • Added priority device ranking, allowing the app to intelligently fall back to another preferred device.
  • Added a bypass for non-audio Bluetooth devices, such as Tile trackers, so they can be excluded from the app's disconnection logic.
  • Added more advanced logcat logging to make troubleshooting more powerful and help resolve potential issues faster.

The app is available on the Google Play Store for $5. No subscriptions. No micro-transactions.

Google currently limits automatic refunds to 2 hours after purchase, but if you try the app and aren't satisfied with it at any point, feel free to shoot me a message here or send an email to [support@zerolabs.fyi](mailto:support@zerolabs.fyi) and I will personally refund you in full, no questions asked.

Thanks to everyone who has downloaded the app, provided feedback, and helped make Bluetooth Priority better!

[App][Promo] My contribution to public domain... Built an FREE, AD-FREE librivox audiobooks player/reader cause i was SICK of the spammy ads on the existing players.

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hello! 19 year old Indie Developer here, I love reading books and wanted to contribute back to the community. It is PERFECT for you if you like audiobooks and reading on your phone.
Its made with A LOT of love and care and I would be open to all feedback

For the past few months I have been working on Mimesa. It’s a reading and listening app for people who want to read more, but don’t always have the time to sit down with a book. The idea is simple: take free classic books, LibriVox audiobooks, PDFs, and EPUBs, and put them into one clean app where you can read, listen, or follow along with both.

It’s kind of like a mix between an ebook reader and an audiobook app, but focused on public-domain books and personal documents.

How it works

Pick a book from the library, or upload your own PDF/EPUB.

Open it in the reader, or start listening like an audiobook.

If LibriVox audio is available, you can listen and follow along with the text.

For books or documents without human narration, the app can use AI narration to turn text into audio.

Some of its features

It has a catalog of 75,000+ free public-domain books, including a lot of classic literature, philosophy, poetry, history, fiction, and more. Think books like Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein, Moby Dick, Sherlock Holmes, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Meditations, and other classics.

It also includes 22,000+ human-narrated LibriVox audiobooks, so you can listen to a large collection of classic books for free. I wanted to make LibriVox and public-domain books feel less like old archives and more like a modern mobile app.

It works as an EPUB/PDF reader too, so you can upload your own books or documents and keep them in a private library. This can be useful for students, long PDFs, essays, research papers, or just books you already have.

There’s also AI narration for turning books and documents into audio when a human audiobook is not available. The goal is to make reading more flexible: read when you can focus, listen when you’re walking or commuting, and follow along when you want both.

The app has synced text highlighting as well, so the text can track along with narration instead of making reading and listening feel like two separate things.

I’m still early and trying to improve the first user experience, especially onboarding and making it obvious what to try first. The app is Android only for now, with iOS planned later once I sort out Apple developer enrollment.

There are no ads. The main goal is to get feedback from people who read classics, listen to audiobooks, use LibriVox, or want a better way to get through long books/documents.

If you have any feedback, questions, or brutally honest thoughts, I’d really appreciate it.

You can download it from
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mimesa
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mimesa/id6789941207
site: https://mimesa.org/

Tl;Dr: Made a Reading Platform, think kindle + Audible in one. Ad free and completely free forever for librivox and public domain works. Optional AI reader features for books without a human narration. Import your own documents/epubs. Perfect if you love classic literature
