Hi — quick update from me, the creator of ESEER 3D Live Wallpapers. I've been head-down nailing the Android app, crushing unsightly edge cases, and putting together a quick promo to show what the project looks like in action. Thanks if you've been following along — otherwise, welcome aboard. This is a small release but it's a good sensation.

TL;DR — what changed
Two releases since the last post ( Android app updates ):
1.0.14
Fixed memory leaks when scrolling through wallpapers / opening previews
Less wallpaper stutters when switching from the app → homescreen
Added a visible CUSTOM badge + Creator name badge for user wallpapers
Resized "DELETE" and "CLOSE" buttons so they won't overlap on small screens
Improved caching logic (safer reuse of bitmaps)
Fixed scene background color not showing in the gallery
1.0.1
Added Firebase Crashlytics for crash reporting
Updated settings page links
Added lazy loading for wallpapers (download on demand)
Why these changes were necessary
This release was all about quality of life and stability. A lot of users were running into OOMs or blank/black frames on transitions — that's a terrible experience for a visual app. I dug into bitmap caching and renderer lifecycle edge cases so previews are more snappy and live wallpaper handoff is more smooth. Creator/custom wallpapers are also finally getting the small UI love they deserve in the gallery (badges + buttons).
Including Crashlytics makes it possible for me to view real crashes (no PII) and iterate faster. Lazy loading conserves bandwidth and is useful for those on metered connections.
Promo + Product Hunt
I recorded a brief promo featuring the app and the editor side by side — that video helps explain the workflow: create on Windows → export → use on Android. If you like what you see, a small upvote / comment on Product Hunt helps a lot for discoverability. Thanks in advance: https://www.producthunt.com/products/eseer-3d-live-wallpapers-creator
Community
I made a subreddit for ESEER — drop by, share your work, ask questions, or propose wallpapers: https://www.reddit.com/r/eseer/
What’s next
Brief roadmap — simple and honest:
New wallpapers — more styles (synthwave / retro / minimal / animals / anime vibes) — I'll drip them in over time.
Battery & stability work — still on the plate. I'd like to squeeze more performance and eliminate sporadic renderer freezes.
Polish entry animations so they look the same on all devices.
Improve editor limits and small UX bits (FOV slider, export checks).
If any of the above needs are your concern (battery, specific type of wallpaper, or editor functionality), drop me a line — I actually read the feedback.

If you find a crash or stutter — send a log (Crashlytics will help) or ping me on the subreddit/support channel.
Try creating a wallpaper in the editor and tell me what workflows feel awkward — I want the editor to be simple for makers.
