Pictures is a widget that comes with the launcher: one picture, or several that take turns every 10 seconds with a cross-fade (a tap shows the next at once). Android knows it as an ordinary app widget, so it is added, moved, resized and removed like any other, but the launcher draws it itself. That lets its frame sit exactly on the outer edges of the icons of the cells it covers and take the corners of the icon shape in use. Pictures are chosen with Android's photo picker and copied, scaled down, into the launcher's own storage, one folder per widget, so no gallery permission is needed. The widget's edit button opens the picker again; removing the widget deletes its copies. Launcher3's widget host view shows the launcher's own view for this provider and skips the views Android would send, and the cell container gives the widget its cells without the usual inset. The Smart Launcher import now turns that launcher's photo widget into a Pictures widget in the same place. Its photo is taken from the backup and handed to the widget when the owner taps it to set it up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <noreply@anthropic.com>
