A2DP Volume vs Simple Frame
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
A2DP Volume
Automatically adjusts the media volume on connect and resets it on disconnect. This is done so that stereo streaming audio can work properly. Intended primarily for car Bluetooth systems. It can read out text messages using Text To Speech (TTS) services while you are connected. Each paired Bluetooth device or virtual device (home dock, car dock, power connection, or headset plug) can be configured to your liking. There is a manual on the website. A secondary feature is the ability to capture location information so you can find where you left your car. The location can also be automatically captured when exiting Car Mode on your Android device and read by any app that understands GPS data.
Simple Frame
Displays images in a folder as a slideshow with 12 transition types to choose from. Meant to find a use for older unsupported devices that are just sitting around. Accordingly the app does not have any networking features since these old devices are often inherently insecure. Supports local files only. I suggest transfering the files from a computer using a USB connection. Features: - Display pictures of a local folder in a slideshow - 12 slideshow transitions - Customizable time before changing picture - Option to scale the pictures to fit the screen - Can randomize the picture order
