About ActivePhoto Widget

This app creates homescreen widgets that display pictures of your contacts which also work as contact shortcuts. You can create albums that feature up to six pictures, and assign them one or two ways of contacting someone. Then just touch the frame on your homescreen at any time to instantly reach your friends or family by your chosen method.

Note: I have reports that this app does not work with some devices. You should try the free "LITE" version first to ensure that it works on yours.

Supported contact methods:
- call
- text
- email
- view contact page
- quick contact popup
- no method

The app offers ten frame sizes, including a large 4x4 widget which can be helpful for visually impaired users.

Now featuring two-link widgets: choose left/right or top/bottom split, and choose a different action (or even a different person) for each half of the widget. This could be useful for a picture of a couple, or a call action and text action on the same frame.

Formerly known as "Clickable Picture Frame".

Permission information:
CALL_PHONE,
SEND_SMS: these are needed to enable the corresponding contact methods.
READ_CONTACTS: needed to present a contack picker during configuration.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: needed and only used for saving and restoring backups, and for temporary storage during picture cropping.

I paid and used this app for years on multiple phones. It is one of my favorite apps and now it won't let me add the picture to make the button. It keeps asking to make sure that there is enough memory space. There is I have checked several times. I loved this app soo much and I'm so sad that it doesn't work for me anymore.

But this is still the best app for asop android or any other android for having pictures in your home screens. I don't even use the link options. I bought it just for the simple use of pictures. Everything works great when I have tested it though.

I love this app! It is a great way to display photos and albums easily. Any chance it will be available on tablets? I can't install on my nexus 7. Nice work though.

Worked perfectly fine before but I just tried to change the picture I was using, and it told me that it could not save and I didn't have adequate SD Card space. Help?

A70%
by A####:

My only problem is that every time I restart my phone, the Widgets wont load. They display the error message "problem loading widget". I'm on a Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S for AT&T) using the GO Launcher with the gingerbread OS.

by Q####:

I'm not big on buying apps, but this one was definitely worth the small cost. I just wanted a simple way to display a large picture of my boyfriend that I could then press to message him. Seemed simple enough but this was the only widget that actually did it.

I was after something exactly like this, and was pleased to find ActivePhoto Widget. A recent update has made it even better too - adding more than one photo to get a slideshow is a great feature. I just had to buy it!

Can't direct dial ussd number like *123# :( Also maybe you can add other shortcut functions like opening playlist, bookmark, apps etc ( just like shortcut function offered by android, but with photo ) :) ussd dial bug has been fixed

Been using this on various mobiles for months. Latest update. (1Oct) deleted all my frames!!! Please fix for future updates.

P70%
by P####:

It's the best dollar I've spent in years! This widget should just be built into Android because it's a must have widget! The ability to make your own contacts homepage makes it worth every penny by itself! The only suggestion I have would to add an option for using different frames. Either way I'll be recommending this widget to my friends and it deserves more than 5 stars in my opinion! Thank you dev for this awesome widget!!

Great find for me!

Q70%
by Q####:

Every time I restart my phone, all my clickable pics show a blank box where the picture once was. So then I have to redo them all. If I hadn't paid for the app I wouldn't care but I did, so it's quite irritating.

Q70%
by Q####:

I am very pleased with this app. I am able to add pictures of my important contacts as Widgets and customize them as desired. The developer is even open and responsive to feature suggestions! Highly recommend this app.

W70%
by W####:

The only feature I would really love to have is the ability to back up preferences and settings, I hate having to reset 6 widgets every time something happens like switching roms or launchers. It really does work very well otherwise

X70%
by X####:

The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a regular frame like this so I went looking for one. I like the idea of clicking the picture on one side or another. Thank you!
