Why we need read sms and internet permission

Q1: Why Picturen need permission to read sms?

ANS: Let me explain about this. Here is a use case:

1. You received a MMS message with photo, and you have download it.

2. You can see clear photo in native Gallery of your device. (Sorry, Picturen Lite doesn't support this feature now)

3. You can see your photo in native Gallery.

4. You may want to set this photo as your wallpaper. So you press menu->set as

5. Choose stock wallpaper option as your cropper for wallpaper

6. And you will get an error!!

7. If you back to step 5 and choose cropper of Picturen Lite (the last one)

8. You will get cropper and give you a beautiful wallpaper

That's why we need read sms permission, that's the way to make your MMS photo can be used for your wallpaper or contact icon. 

You may ask: Above demo is about MMS not SMS. 

Yes, but there is no permission called read mms in Android. 

Q2: Why we need internet connection?

ANS: That's because we support uploader let you upload you photos to Picasa web album.

We apologized that there is misunderstand about read sms. 

Hope this article can explain about this.

Thank you^^
