XDA Gallery - Beta Extension

Are you a fan of the XDA Developer forums? Do you find yourself looking through lots of \"screenshot\" type threads? All those \"What's your wallpaper\" or \"Show off your homescreen\"? Are you tired of clicking through page after endless page of posts just to look for the images? If so then this app is for you!

Install the extension which will add a small icon in the top right corner of your browser and just go browsing XDA as you normally would. When you find yourself on a thread with lots of images just click the new icon and a new tab will open that searches the thread for images and loads them dynamically.

No more clicking through page loads, just scroll down and it'll fetch more images for you!

Kyle Venter (ID: 000000a27452c5c1) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/03/2013 Awesome idea, when this extension is smoother it will be perfect. Sometimes it does not load the linked to wallpapers, a little slow and a little jittery. Not yet perfectly stable but one of the best ideas I have seen in a long time. Well done and thank you for your brilliant idea.
