An APOD extension for Roman Nurik's gorgeous live wallpaper, Muzei!
Muzei is required for this to do anything! Get it here: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.muzei
Astronomy Picture of the Day extension for Roman Nurik's live wallpaper, 'Muzei'. By default it will automatically change your wallpaper to the latest image on NASA's APOD website ( http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ ) but it also includes the option to update using random images from the archives however often you like. You can also add any image you like to your favourites so they are displayed more regularly.
When you open the Muzei app and choose APOD, this extension will display the image title and the name of the person or organisation that developed the picture.
To use:
- Install Muzei from the link above
- Install this extension
- Set your wallpaper to Muzei live wallpaper
- In Muzei settings, choose APOD
- Press the cog icon to change your preferences

PERMISSIONS:
Network communication
- required to fetch images from NASA's APOD website.
Storage
- required for storing your chosen favourite images' web addresses in a plain text file, which you can find at '/sdcard/ApodImages/favourites.txt'.
- It is also used if 'Nexus 5 stability fix' (found in the Extras menu) is enabled. I found that Muzei crashed on some devices (Nexus 5, particularly) when handling images of size 640px*480px, so this workaround downloads the image to check (and, if necessary, alter) its size before passing it to Muzei to set as your wallpaper.
