About SatelliteDust APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This app is a 3D graphics environmental software which changes appearance according to received GPS and QZSS satellites.It utilizes OpenGL ES 2.0 to draw a simple geometric object at the center and dancing shiny particles around it.
These particles represents signals coming from satellites. As more satellite signals your device catches, the more particles will be drawn. They are trapped around the object and keep moving until they run out of their lifetime.
This app does not do anything practical. Just keep staring as the particles move and whirl around.
At it's very initial stage, the app does not have any adjustable settings yet, but future versions will have more setting parameters.
To obtain the almanac to decide the expected locations of the satellites, this app makes use of an API offered by JAXA (qz-vision.jaxa.jp). That's why this app requires network connection. And it also requires low-resolution and high-resolution location service to receive signals from the GPS and QZSS satellites.
The author thanks to the following sites/people for detailed explanation and codes regarding the calculation of the satellites location from the almanac data.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
