Senior Launcher
APK
What does this app do? * It registers as app launcher (that means it is called when the phone boots and the home button is pressed). * It lets the user decide if they want to call someone or want to watch images. * It reads the contact list and displays all contacts that have an image and a phone number (only the first number is used!). * Every contact is displayed as a large button with the contact's image on it. * On click either a call to the contact is initialized or the SMS app is opened to show images sent via MMS * In image-mode the gallery can be opened * Calling the ambulance is added on top of the list in the call-screen. * Language: English and German. (911 and 112 for calling the ambulance is translated of course) Why is MMS used for images? * Because it is available everywhere and every phone has an app installed that can use it * Because it is the only way (that I found out) to direct the user right to the newest images I recommend the use of https://f-droid.org/packages/com.moez.QKSMS as a SMS/MMS app because it copies all images automatically to the gallery and because it's free.
