** Formerly known as Photo Grid/Frame Widget. Due to complaint of infringement for the trademark "PHOTOGRID", I had to rename it to Photo Frame&Grid Widget. Hopefully, it doesn't infringe any other trademarks. **
Besides, please uninstall any versions older than 2.83 before installing the new version (2.83) because a new package name is assigned and your Android device will treat it as a separate app.
This is my first Android app. Basically I want to replicate the grid-style photo widget from HTC so it can be used by other phones or in AOSP ROM.
I developed the widget and tested it on my HTC Incredible S. If you're interested, please install it in other phones of different brand and screen size. If you encounter any issues, please feel free to report here or give me a PM. Or if you have any request for new features, I'll also consider in future versions.
