Hidey Hole (Wallpapers for Gal

Hidey Hole is an app that aggregates wallpapers for the Samsung Galaxy S10 family of devices (S10/S10e/S10+), primarily those that are made to obscure the camera cutout (hiding the hole).

It will crash (wont-fix) on any other device!

I have no hand in the wallpapers themselves, those are made/posted by users in the /r/S10wallpapers sub on Reddit.
This app has a Reddit thread as well.

The wallpapers are synced from the /r/S10wallpapers sub every hour, and from Galaxy S10 Wallpapers every six hours.

------------------

Of course downloading wallpapers manually and setting them as wallpaper is easy, and do you really need yet another wallpaper app? But I personally also like to slightly adjust them. For example, I usually turn down the brightness a bit to make text on the home-/lockscreen better readable, so that feature is in the app. Other adjustments include contrast, blackpoint, and saturation.

The hole thing with these devices intrigues me as well. So I wanted to know if I could determine in code where they were, and auto-realign/scale images made for one model to another. While the cameras are close to each-other, they don`t overlap exactly, and this discrepancy shows when using an image made for one device on another (out of sync hole). Works pretty well on S10/S10E, leaves something to be desired on the S10+.
The algorithm is generic so support for more devices should be easy to add. (This idea is really what led me to build this, might as well release it now I`ve satisfied my curiosity).

As an example of the above, the height of the cutout on the S10+ is a little bit less than that of the S10. When using an S10+ image on the S10, you still get a curve of missing pixels below the cutout. This realign/scale feature slightly zooms and offsets the image, so the holes align.

Notes

The scraper takes all images from the sub that have a dedicated post that directly links to it. Only reddit and imgur links are currently supported. Minimum width is 640 pixels, and the aspect ratio has to be just right.

I might add scraping the comments at some point, but this is not currently done.

The category a wallpaper ends up in is decided by the flair of the post.

A lot of recent images include the phone`s frame. While those work fine on the exact device they were meant for, they do not rescale well to other devices. (And IMHO it doesn`t look good, but that`s just my opinion you are free to completely ignore).

Freedom!

This app is free, without in-app purchases, without ads, without tracking (other than popularity of wallpapers), but *with* GPLv3 sauce. The backend has sauce too!

Either leave a review on Play that I probably won`t read, comment in the Reddit thread, or submit to the GitHub issue tracker

Motion effect

Holey wallpapers don`t play nice with the motion effect. The app does not have sufficient rights to adjust this setting. To disable it, in your home screen, first apply one of Samsung`s wallpapers, which allows you to deselect Motion effect. Then go back to using Hidey Hole.

It can be done through adb shell with settings put system wallpaper_tilt_status 0.
