How to use:

This is a widget for your homescreen (desktop). To use it, please follow these simple steps.

For newer versions of Android (e.g. 4.0), you may drag and drop a Nice Simple Photo item from the Widgets tab of your app list to the home screen. You may refer to this demonstration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXAWx7gsJ-o

For older versions (e.g. 2.3.3) you can long press (i.e. tap and hold) on any empty space on your home screen, then select Widgets and choose a Nice Simple Photo item.

Different items correspond to different widget sizes.

Tapping the widget will open the configuration screen. You can configure the widget and browse the photos which are in the same directory of the currently selected photo there. You can add more than one "Nice Simple Photo Widget" to your home screen and each of them can have its own unique appearance settings.

*NOTE* If the photo does not update properly, please exclude this widget from any task killer app that you might be using. You can also try to remove this widget from your homescreen and add it back again, and see if it solves the problem.

I've had this app for years to keep a 2x2 widget sized pic on my homescreen. For the longest time, I would have given 4 stars with my only complaint being how easy it was to accidently change or remove the pic. But good, overall. Recently, however, I set a pic and it disappears when I wake my phone back up. I have not been able to rectify this. As such, had it not been for my prior good experience, this is now a 1 star app.

Not so simple after all. Initially worked great, but frequently would lose the set path to my pictures. Recently, won't do random play at all, or change pictures on tap (as set). Simply stays static on the first picture in the selected folders (so, seems to access the folder!). Tried uninstall-reinstall-restart a bunch of times, still not working after lots of fussing. Will delete app and look for another. Any suggestions (something actually simple, and reliable, please)? I'm using Android 9.0 (Pie).

Something has changed, and now the words click to set up are stuck in the middle of my page, after no problem for over 2 years. My picture is where itvwas always been, I haven't changed anything, nor tried to place a different picture. I want the dumb words off the middle of my screen. I may have to delete app to accomplish that. I need a remedy!
