Anyone have a “fish” status panel for Raph???

The “fish” status panel is really cool on the sony ericsson x1-- has any one taken a stab at porting or creating a similar app for the raphael???

I'm looking into it, a screensaver kinda thing.

Think of the possiblities,
Instead of fish you could do human figures in various states of undress depending on the status of the monitored process,
For the prudent or prude you could create an inverse process!
For the medical types you could have hospital beds with patients in various states of health,
For Christmas you could have santa coming closer and closer or getting bigger and bigger depending on status...
The possibility's are infinite!!!!!!

As i mentioned i'm working on a X1 fishpanel lock-app kinda thing for VGA.
But graphics aint my thing.

I have no idea what this panel is about... Can someone post a link pls? Google doesn't know the "fish panel Xperia" words.
I would like to know what the fuss is about and perhaps see if I can do something about it (graphicwise).

Shake phone to add food, cool aint it?. Xperia is never gonna get it since SE skipped the motion sensor.
Light sensor sensetive fish? colorchanging perhaps, or a day and night graphics feature effect.
And the water HAS to be motion sensetive aswell, im thinking about the beerapp.

Check out these video reviews for details on the fish panel:

http://www.gaj-it.com/2143/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1-launched-at-tent-london/
Basically here is a portion of a description from the last review:
"The best panel by far on the Xperia X1 was a panel of 1 black and 2 orange fish that would excitedly swim to wherever you placed your stylus on the screen. Sounds pretty basic and boring, but each fish did have a purpose. If the sound was muted, one of the orange fish would turn clear. If your battery’s getting low, one of the fish starts to turn red, and if you miss a call another fish will turn yellow . While at first the sound of an aquarium in your phone sounds like a waste of an application, the fish do allow you to guage your phone’s settings with just a quick glance at your “aquarium”. If you for some reason really don’t like fish, just give them a tap and they will go nuts."

i want this program 2
a program like this, with the future build in to unlock your phone???

Actually the fish function like this:
place a finger/stylus to the screen and keep it there -> the fish come to it
tap a fish -> it swims away (I know, animal cruelty..)
black fish -> turns to red when battery below 10% (too late to my liking)
skinny orange fish -> turns silver when sound is on mute/vibrate
fat orange fish -> turns to gold when there's an unread message (email or sms/mms)
clown fish -> appears when there's an unanswered call
..the fish have been individually named in the manual also: Japanese style names, like Ryumi etc..
They are actually very cool to show off, in a gimmicky sort of way. Too bad there's no way to alter their behaviour; for example the battery fish could have a broader spectrum of colors (gradually from black to clear/white for example).

When i realese (read if), i will use 3d models, this graphics is just placeholders for now.

Haha, very nice indeed I like them...

so how close are ya?

haha it's a start, keep developing!

I really hope something comes of this. I think it would be great to have a screen saver / locking app that had this ability. Has anyone posted the idea inn the diamond or general software forums?

me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very nice. it would be great to have such screen saver on the raphael.

hahaha amazing start. i would post up in the dev. forums too (more traffic more help lol more recognition)
watching

Rubix Cube active wallpaper??

Anyone know if there is such a thing? And if there is not, maybe a few people would be interested in making one? I think that would be pretty fun to have on the homescreen for a lil instant gaming action!

Guess not.....

i think its a great idea havent heard of one yet though would anyone be interested in making one

I like the idea too. But how would that work? So when ever the screen was locked you could rotate the cube peices but when a call came in or you unlocked the screen it would fade into the background and hold its position untill the screen was locked again...

that IS a good idea...

3d droid

Hi.
I'm modeling 3d Android for one website, so I'll like to share with you my current progress; this is not finished model: I have to change hands (I don't like them as they are now), make legs, and add some more details. I have just posed what I have till now in to some quick pose and make quick render, to better see how it looks, and what to change.
I the end, this will be animated character and it will be used for banners, logo, icons, animated intro for videos, and some wallpapers and maybe even for theme for mobile phones.

I'm modeling this in 3d studio max.
And here is one more small update; I have remodeled hands, so that now I have more wide range of movement with them.

Awesome work, the first face looks better in my opinion, but the second is more original.

I also prefer the darker face. There is more contrast and makes the eyes stand out more. Also looks happier. Good details there. It is very difficult to make "green skin" look good at best of times!

Tnx guys for comments.
Face is still something I haven't decide yet what to do about it; I'll have to make some tests with expressions to see what will work best.
Now, I have to make legs; i'm thinking about making them somewhat similar to hands, but I'll put wheels on them (they will be mostly hidden; there will be a gap like for hands, where wheel will come out), so that he will basically role around; i thing that he will look cooler that way.

Wet yourself with what???HUH!!!

Here is one more update; I still have some things to do, but is getting some final form.

Looks pretty sick, but I must say, when the legs are on their own, well.....

[Q] reading resources to make a theme

hey guys.. ive always had this idea for a theme in my head since i had my iphone 3g but never ended up following through because i hated the laggyness of the iphone 3g. now with my sgs i have no more excuses haha.
im new to this but pretty tech savvy. if any of you guys could point me to some reading resources to help me make a theme that would be great. what i had in mind was a green monochromatic terminal (NOT matrix) theme kind of a cross between:
apple terminal
www (insert the obvious ".") dataswamp.net/apple2eserialterm/apple_serial_terminal--modem_mgr-vt220_selection.jpg
metal gear codec
i.ytimg.com/vi/x9Kg9wM48Wo/0.jpg
gameboy dot matrix screen
static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Daily/2010/06-Jun/21/iPhone%20game%20of%20the%20day/GameBoyscreen--article_image.jpg
just a mashup of these vibes. i think it would look great with the look of the phone. its very nerdy yes but i love that look haha. im askin for directions to resources so i can see if there is anything i have to do or be aware of to make it compatible for different kernels/phones and so on in case anyone would want it too.. like i said, its my first time makin one! so any info would be great!
id like to completely change all the menus on the phone if possible, like dialer, status bar and drop down menu and anything i can change to a dot matrix/green vibe..
thanks alot guys!

Gear face Request

I know there are a few Gearfaces.com designer here so I have a request if someone is up to the challenge. I'm a huge RUSH fan and I'd love it if someone could do this.
Could someone put together this as a Watch Styler face?
http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120411195423/rush/images/2/26/Clockwork_Angels.jpg
I'd like it exactly as the image with those hands and the pearl in the center. I am terrible at this stuff but I could possibly Photoshop out the hands and supply just the background.
Edit: Oh would be nice if an unobtrusive battery meter were included, like down at the bottom as a thin black bar across the bottom or something.

OK, It's not perfect but I managed to clone-tool away the hands, and using some creative cropping got the center dot almost in the middle.
Result

Here's a quick go at it.
