Description

500 Firepaper provides a live wallpaper and a daydream showing you the latest images from /r/EarthPorn throughout the day.

You never need to look at that boring old wallpaper again, or search for hours for a nice new one. This app will show you quality photographs from all over the world - different ones each day!

NOTICE: This app switched from using the 500px API to showing images from Reddit's /r/EarthPorn sub, as 500px is shutting down their API. Please read the statement on my G+ page - https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/W52tb4kp8zN

Configurable options include the refresh interval, brightness of the images, oversaturation, and blurring.

Please note that high resolution imagery and animation takes quite a bit of memory, so obviously this app is aimed at high-end devices.

If you are a Muzei user, 500 Firepaper also presents itself as an art source to Muzei.

FAQ

What does buying Pro get me?
I've already made all the features available to you for free. Supporting my developments is optional, but certainly appreciated.

Why is there no save feature ?
Not allowed per API terms.

Three finger tap to go to the next image doesn't seem to work, what now ?
On some devices (like the HTC One) you need to put down your fingers one-by-one.

Why does this use so much RAM ?
High-resolution imagery takes a lot of memory in uncompressed form, and multiple buffers are required. But fear not, should your device need the memory while the wallpaper/daydream is not visible, the memory occupied by the app will automagically be released and repurposed.

Can the cached images be put somewhere else, like on my sd card ?
No, they cannot.

Do you want a balloon ?
No, but thanks for asking.

Comments on 500 Firepaper for Android

★★★★★ This app brings eye candy from a Reddit thread. This app is BRILLIANT! It correctly fits the wallpaper across desktop pages - I can't even do that MANUALLY on my tablet. This app rocks. This is awesome. The original version: Used 500px which has a world of beauty, and this app BRINGS IT!

★★★★★ I love this app, but it appears most people don't read anything about an app before installing. Chain fire and 500px have had some disagreements in the past, and it now appears they've killed his API key as he suspected they would, so it no longer displays pictures. Maybe it was a mistake (as has happened in the past) maybe deliberate. I will leave it installed for a while yet to see which one. 500px are an org not to be trusted.

★★★★★ Updating my review for 2020. I still absolutely love this app, and it seems like there's a lot more new wallpapers. I am always amazed with the photography and it's breathtaking. Using this as a daydream screensaver is just the icing on the cake. As I said before, a wallpaper app cannot get better than this.

★★★★★ Does what it says, and I love it Edit: It works "too well" and a lot of the wallpaper sites have blocked the app, This isn't an app fault or Chain fire's fault. I'm keeping the 5-star review up, but unfortunately this app has been nobbled by "external forces"

★★☆☆☆ One of my favorite apps. Excellent photos. Wish there was an Xmas category to top it off...edit. Not sure what's happened but somethings changed suddenly no images and just earth porn available... Not sure what's up but uninstalled

★★☆☆☆ Dev abandoned the app. Remove it from the Play Store

★★☆☆☆ Not sure how else to contact the developer, but it's incompatible with my Pixel 7 Pro, I'm going to guess maybe it's 32 bit and the P7P is 64 bit only. Please rebuild 64 bit if possible.

★★☆☆☆ New wallpapers are not coming. Daily wallpapers app is better than this. At least that can give me all new wallpaper every day. Set the time and it will change wallpaper every day.

★★☆☆☆ Dguddhduddydhyhye9t94rryffuufufhrfudfdfgutt total ratan the same thing happened in my bit, fgg to same following link of battery hire us days happen ftp fgg to help for a couple, ď to get to see if the charge level of detail of the family of four of them 8l to get to see if the charge at least I am good day.
