Launcher reduced to the essential, intended for elderly people
What does this app do?

It registers as app launcher (that means it is called when the phone boots and the home button is pressed).
It lets the user decide if they want to call someone or want to watch images.
It reads the contact list and displays all contacts that have an image and a phone number (only the first number is used!).
Every contact is displayed as a large button with the contact's image on it.
On click either a call to the contact is initialized or the SMS app is opened to show images sent via MMS
In image-mode the gallery can be opened
Calling the ambulance is added on top of the list in the call-screen.
Language: English and German. (911 and 112 for calling the ambulance is translated of course)
Why is MMS used for images?

Because it is available everywhere and every phone has an app installed that can use it
Because it is the only way (that I found out) to direct the user right to the newest images
I recommend the use of QKSMS as a SMS/MMS app because it copies all images automatically to the gallery and because it's free.

Is it useable?
