Still turns a Meta Portal into a local photo frame with USB and browser uploads, named albums, customizable covers, and automatic settings.

Download and install

Download still-0.11.0.apk below. You only need Google SDK Platform-Tools, a USB data cable, and a Portal with USB debugging enabled; Android Studio and a source build are unnecessary.

Connect the Portal, approve USB debugging, then run with ADB on your PATH:

adb devices
adb install --no-incremental -r still-0.11.0.apk
adb shell am start -n com.portalframe/.MainActivity

adb devices must show device, and installation must print Success. For Windows/macOS/Linux setup and troubleshooting, see the installation instructions.

Included

  • USB FAT32/exFAT import, local-folder import, and temporary Wi-Fi uploads with an address, QR code, and upload code.
  • Progress on the Portal and browser, including receiving/copying and preparing/saving.
  • Named albums, independent copies, 1–4-photo cover collages, previews, and storage usage.
  • JPEG, HEIF/HEIC, PNG, and WebP; rotation, orientation filtering, crop-to-fill, and preserved proportions when appropriate.
  • Complete shuffle rounds, slideshow timing/transitions, clock/date, IP-based weather, and ambient-light nightstand mode.
  • Settings save automatically without a Save button or saved notification.

Compatibility and verification

  • Android 9+; tested on an Android 10 Meta Portal at 1280 × 800 / 800 × 1280. Portal firmware must permit USB debugging and sideloading. Other devices and HEIF codec variants may differ.
  • This is a normal signed APK with app and WebView debugging disabled. It exactly matches the build installed and tested on the maintainer's Portal.
  • SHA256SUMS contains hashes for the APK and SIGNING_CERTIFICATE.txt; the latter records the APK signer's public SHA-256 fingerprint. No signing key or personal photos are distributed.
  • The signer matches the prior installed Still build. Use -r to retain albums/settings. Builds made from another signing key cannot update it in place; do not uninstall to resolve a signature mismatch if you need to keep your private library.
