      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi DEV Community! 👋&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm Seung, an independent developer from South Korea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've been working on &lt;strong&gt;LUMITICK&lt;/strong&gt;, an Android app that turns your home screen into an animated clock experience using Flutter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea started with a simple question: &lt;strong&gt;What if your phone's clock could be more than just numbers on a screen?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I've built
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LUMITICK currently includes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🕒 Animated analog and digital clock live wallpapers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🎨 Customizable clock faces, hands, and backgrounds&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🌍 World clocks with multiple city time zones&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;📱 Analog and digital home screen widgets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🖼️ The ability to create clock designs using your own photos&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✨ Special animated clock themes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What has been challenging
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the most interesting challenges has been making the clock behave consistently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A clock might look perfect inside the Flutter app, but applying it as an Android live wallpaper introduces additional challenges.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've been working on keeping the clock hands, animations, and time settings consistent between the app preview and the actual home screen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm also testing battery consumption, animation smoothness, and compatibility across Android devices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a solo developer, there are many things I can't fully test on my own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  I'm looking for Android beta testers!
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LUMITICK is currently in Google Play testing, and I'd really appreciate feedback from fellow Android users and developers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm particularly interested in:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Does the live wallpaper work correctly on your device?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Are the clock hands and animations smooth and easy to read?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do you notice unusual battery consumption?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do the widgets and world clocks work as expected?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What would you improve before the public launch?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to join the beta
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 1:&lt;/strong&gt; Join the Google Group to get access to the test:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://groups.google.com/g/lumitick-beta-2026/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://groups.google.com/g/lumitick-beta-2026/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 2:&lt;/strong&gt; Using the same Google account, join the Google Play test:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.lumitick.app" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.lumitick.app&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some optional designs and widgets use rewarded ads. The app currently supports English and Korean.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can also find development updates on Instagram: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/lumitickapp"&gt;@lumitickapp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is my first Android app project, and I'm still learning and improving it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even a few minutes of testing or a short comment would mean a lot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for reading! 🙏&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially from anyone who has worked with Flutter, Android widgets, or live wallpapers.&lt;br&gt;
