If you have browsed through several wallpapers and set one to see if it’s what you want, and after that you want to come back to pick an other picture, just press the home button once you have chosen the wallpaper, and hold home button for a second and release it, then choose the application from the Android task manager, that you will back to the exact picture that you where before press the home button.
As new features, now the application has a menu:

Service Settings
Once you click on it will be prompted with this screen :

Image above is from the HD version.


Where to enable a background service, you will need to tap on the check-box labelled “Activate Service” to start select those settings that you want. Then you can tap at the button Choose Pictures, to be taken to a thumbnail screen, where will be displayed all wallpapers and you will be able to select up to 10 of it.

To make the selection, it’s pretty simple, just swipe up/down to scroll through those wallpapers thumbnails and tap on those check-boxes to enable the wallpaper that you want be rotate as your background. When finished just click select to come back.








After selected and came back to the previous screen, it’s time to select the interval time, that it’s the time between wallpaper changes, this can be from 5 minutes up to 7 days. Once selected the interval just hit the back button to come back to the main screen and activate the service.
After you have selected all those options, just hit the back button that it will activate the background service. Be aware that in this version the application doesn't save these settings. This means that if you go again from main screen to the service settings screen everything will be like the first time, with all thumbnails to be selected. Though doesn't mean that the service it’s not running in background, but once you hit the back button to come back, the service will stop straight away.
The background services is very savvy in memory and with the battery, of course if you choose update the wallpaper at each 5 min it'll consume more battery than each day option.
If you click back button (and not the select) from select screen, will come back without save the selected state, means a plain back to the previous screen.
If you want to switch off the service it’s just select the Service Setting and hit back, without enable the service, doing this the applications will stop the service.

Gallery Settings
You will be taken to an other screen where will be able to choose the orientation for the application between just portrait to have landscape also and to select the size in % from the X axis, from the gallery pictures. That’s the one you see when scrolling from choose a wallpaper. After you have insert your settings, just hit the back button to save your changes.
To enable landscape orientation you must enable the button where it’s write Deactivated Landscape, that will change to Activate Landscape.
If you want to come back to the default settings, hit the Reset to Default button and back button.


Now the background services is part of Star Trek Wallpapers and of HD version as well.
That’s all, I hope that you have good times with these new features, if have any issue, doubt or ideas, it’s just drop a email to me that I’ll answer it as soon as possible, and “Live longer and Prosper”.

Updates coming till December

Hi,

At moment I'm working on three updates, one for DataSafe that this new release will be able to work with rooted phones, one new release of the Tactical Console where will have direction to the phasers and aft phasers and torpedoes, apart that will have two sort of torpedoes (Photon and Quantun) and for last in one update for the Star Trek Wallpaper, this so far will have the option to the user choose the size of the gallery to select those pictures, one background services that you can enable/disable and you will be able to choose among up to 10 wallpapers and with time frame from 5min. to 7 days to update the wallpaper, rotating it, and one that would make a lot people happy though all pre-paid ones not very happy, that it's the download option, that in first instance is make the application smaller and faster, apart that the application would only download those wallpapers size that fits to your mobile, like for one with less than 3.2 inches would be pictures quite smaller then the medium, high and extra large (tablets), and with that I could put more pictures than today that it's packed with all pics for three different sizes.
This one should come out soon, than DataSafe and for last the Tactical console, that honestly I'm thinking in stop with it, due Android fragmentation, doesn't work well in many handsets, even using the Android compatibility package.
If you have time to leave a comment could you please let me know if the download option it's a good option for you or not, because I'll use those comments to create the next update.
Thank you

Express User Guide: Data Safe

Data Safe it’s a Android application that enables you to encrypt any file that you want from your device. You can have different types and strength of passwords from 64 till 256bits. Today the version available doesn’t have support for ROOT devices, though soon it will have this feature and will be updated to Android 2.2, SD storage, and other emails available rather than just Gmail.

I’ll be available after you have created one password and logged in.

From main screen press the menu button.

There will have these three options:

Settings : Here it’s where you will set for what email you want to send the application information, and if you want send just the password, the source file, as attach file, both, and if want to delete the source file or not after conversion. This will generate a file in your Data Safe application folder with those options set, though it’s also an encrypted file.

To do it you just need to move your fingers up or down, and to go into folders or select the file, it’s just a tap, if the folder that you are going it’s a system or protected nothing will be displayed. Choosing a file to encrypt or decrypt, just tap in the file, and you will be prompted if you want use that file.

Clicking Return will come back to the folders browser, and Yes will take you back to the main screen with the path in the text field proper filled with the path and file name. If you wish you can also type the path that you want.

Once the file has been chosen those icons under will be enabled or disabled, this will depend of the file type, means if to encrypt or decrypt.

If you are decrypting a file, the chosen file will populate the original path automatically in the text field form To button, other else not.

Button To: Like the Button From, you will also be taken to a screen to browse through the system file to one destination for your file. In this folder browser, you can navigate just like the previous one, moving finger up and down, one tap to get into folders, though in this button you will not be allowed to select a file, just the folder where you will put your file, and to do it just hit and hold a little bit over the folder name, and the application will prompt you asking if you want to use that path to your file, like previous one, yes return and fill text field after the To button and as the above button you can if wish type the path, since that it’s a valid one, you must have read and write privileges to do that in that folder.

Icons:

icons

You have a locked pad lock, one open, other with two arrows making a circle and one with the open dor and the arrow point to it.

Locked pad lock: This button will let you encrypt the file, if it’s not encrypted already, using those from, to paths provided previously.

Unlocked pad lock: This button will let you decrypt the encrypted file, using as above the values into from, to text fields.

Two blue arrows circling: Will clean both text fields.

Open door with arrow pointing to it: Exit the application.

Three wrong tries and your password file will be wiped out from your mobile. If you remember the password, it’s just inserting again the same password, when starting the application. If you don’t remember but have received it via email, it’s just creating it once again.

Now, if you don’t remember it and don’t have set the application to send the password to the email. Then will not exist other way. What’s was encrypted will be lost. Doesn’t exist any sort of backdoors to re-acquire the password.
