Detailed app info

This application records information from your phone without your explicit permission. Depending on the version the application may record:

  • the time you viewed phone background and the state of the background
  • accelerometer readings and physical activity inferences from this data

Some may have concerns about the battery usage of this application. We believe the battery drain from this program is hardly noticeable; further analysis and detailed info can be found on the wiki page dedicated to battery usage analysis.

Devices Tested Usable:

Believed to be fully-functional unless minor issues are noted.

Unusable Devices:

Issues with these devices render the application unusable.

  • Devices with small screen resolution (background is not yet scaled properly)
  • Devices running < Android 2.1 (application manifest does not allow it, possibly can be run, but has not been tested)
  • Huawei Fusion 2 U8665 (does not support live wallpapers)
