Hi guys
I have seen alot live wallpapers in the market, lately, which I downloaded. "EarthRot", "Fireworks Live Wallpaper", "LivingColors" etc...
the problem is, that i just do not know how to "install" them. I cannot open them, and when I want to set them as background via: personalize/Background Startscreen/Gallery or Photos I do not see the files.
I searched the internet but all I've found was videos of working wallpapers and papers themselves, but no guide
I am thankful for any remark
Not supported on the Hero

to be precise they are not supported on sense.

actually to be more precise they just don't work well at all so are not included.
apparently the desire has been spotted running live wallpapers (although this is not released yet is it?)

Desire and Eris are two totally different devices, first of all Hero doesnt have 3D acceleration in its chip, the hardware lacks of OpenGL2 support and there isnt any OpenGL lite compiled for Hero yet. So no its not taken away, its related to the fact that Hero wouldnt be able to render live wallpapers properly!
you see i would love wallpapers on my hero and there are roms out there that have them CKdroid / aHero ect which i have tried and they are unstable but i have seen videos of the G1 running them and my girlfriend has a magic with them on (32B) so why cant we have them on hero on a non sense rom some magical dev please work your magic on this i would sacrifice sense for live wallpapers.
and yes desire runs sense and live wallpapersd but obviously it has the 1ghz snap dragon chip in therefore its much more powerfull than the hero
If you put Vanillain Rom (the non-HTCSense one)- which I did once just to check Live wallpapers - it DOES WORK on the Hero. The moving grass wallpaper was quite nice.
So those who say the Hero can't do it, it can so
Hero can't do it properly, that is what I was trying to say.
They don't all work and the ones that do don't work 100% as they should. They will cause more problems on your phone than they are worth.
And also all rom's that have live wallpapers at the moment (on the hero) can't run other 3d things like the new gallery.

Furry muff - I mean Fair enough.
i had Android on my HTC Touch Diamond as a little tester before i got my Hero and Live wallpapers ran on that no problem...
fond it very weird that it didnt work on the hero...
I think it is mainly down to not having the correct drivers yet, an issue that may or may not be fixed when we get a new official update.

Or it could be the fact that touch diamond runs on the successor of heros processor, MSM7201A while hero is running MSM7200A, which was released back in 2007, one year after touch diamonds processor, which have more 3d capabilities and better graphic rendering than 7200A.
Actually, heros processor family is the worlds most commonly used processor for touchscreen smartphones, MSM72xxx family
I was under the impression that, apart from running a Live Wallpaper supporting rom, the live wallpapers are all designed for different resolutions to the Hero's native resolution...?
could be way off the mark, but if someone could create a Live Wallpaper in the Hero Res, it could be a better starting point?? maybe replacing the Nexus/Desire native Wallpapers with custom "Hero optimised" ones, perhaps the performance would improve to a point that its "managable"??
The ported 2.1 roms that should support them do have some openGL support, maybe not enough to run the higher quality ones, but surely if the hero can manage the level of quality that 3d games demand (Neocore/Raging Thunder etc), with all the pixel shading and dithering, with Sense running in the background, surely it could manage some correctly designed Wallpapers...
Anyone got a clue on how to design Live Wallpapers?? i'll look into it out of interest in the mean time...

well u can pretty much scrap that.... after going through all the source for the 3d cube wallpaper, all i can find with regards to size is the following:
/*
* Draw a wireframe cube by drawing 12 3 dimensional lines between
* adjacent corners of the cube
*/
void drawCube(Canvas c) {
c.save();
c.translate(mCenterX, mCenterY);
c.drawColor(0xff000000);
drawLine(c, -400, -400, -400, 400, -400, -400);
drawLine(c, 400, -400, -400, 400, 400, -400);
drawLine(c, 400, 400, -400, -400, 400, -400);
drawLine(c, -400, 400, -400, -400, -400, -400);
drawLine(c, -400, -400, 400, 400, -400, 400);
drawLine(c, 400, -400, 400, 400, 400, 400);
drawLine(c, 400, 400, 400, -400, 400, 400);
drawLine(c, -400, 400, 400, -400, -400, 400);
drawLine(c, -400, -400, 400, -400, -400, -400);
drawLine(c, 400, -400, 400, 400, -400, -400);
drawLine(c, 400, 400, 400, 400, 400, -400);
drawLine(c, -400, 400, 400, -400, 400, -400);
c.restore();
}
i'm pretty sure that this is pixel positions, so resolution is not important...
maybe if we stripped away some of the more advanced functionality, we might be able to get nice animated wallpapers, or some with very basic extra features, such as viewing angle change or gps/time of day events without reacting to touch etc...
Live Wallpapers can be 2d or 3d, with access to features such as GPS, system clock, network connection, accelerometers etc... maybe if we drop the 3d, we can still have some cool wallpapers in the future...??

I was running DamageControl V1 Rom and just switched to Fresh's 2.0b. The first thing is you have to hae a 2.1 Rom on your phone. You have to disable Rosie (HTC Sense) as the default action when you press Home and install either Helix Launcher or push the Launcher files for the Nexus One to your phone. I have done both and Live WallPapers work with both. Not all, but some do..Hopefully HTC is working on a way to incorporate LWP's with Sense UI. After flip-flopping between different launchers and using some other android phones, I really do like the Sense UI, but I also like some animations that are in the Nexus One.
I have it working fine on my VanillaEclaire 3.3 Rom. It's a little laggy, but not annoyingly laggy.

Im Confused about how Device Resolutions work .
i mean like all new htc ppc devices have a 2.8" lcd yet the resolutions are diffrent like the htc touch hermes kaiser gene they all Qvga 240x320 but diamond also 2.8" but it has VGA how does it work.
the one Asus Smartphone has a 2.0" screen but its QVGA or but the HTC 310 and ipaq 500 voice messenger and maybe mpx200 are QQVGA its so flipin confusing.
So is the resolution set through registry or drivers or what? I read in the typhoon section of a Wm6 cooked rom being able to make the htc typhoon resolution to QVGA.

The device resolution is built into the actual screen. The resolution is the number of dots that are found on one row or column of the screen. QVGA has 240x320 dots that make up the screen matrix. VGA (at least) doubles these numbers to 480x640.
If you see devices that have the same SIZE screens (2.8"), but different resolutions, that means the DOTs are different sizes. A VGA screen will often have smaller dots than QGVA, and as such, better resolution that looks clearer to your eyes.
One can use software to emulate a lower-resolution screen on a higher-resolution device, but not vice-versa. So a VGA screen COULD be made to appear as a QVGA screen, but not the other way around.
Hoping this doesn't muddy up the waters for you even more,
-pvs
in simple terms.
qvga (240*320) will consume same amount of graphic memory be it 2" screen or 2.8" or 3.5" or 1 square kilometre!
lcd screens are built with fixed amount of pixels, but density varies with size and resolution.

Its True what they say knowlage is power so people who dont know are mislead when the told a device is 262k or better thanks man
I have both of them here until I am able to sell the Tilt.
I am willing to take requests on features anyone wants to compare between the two and do some controlled tests.
1What are you wanting for the tilt?
2our accountant just got his PRO and he is in love with it. but he didnt let me play with it. is it fast and clean????
I really like the flush screen.
That looks stupid in comparison to the tilt.
Does it even have a touch screen? Smartphone = no touch screen right..
either way this phone fails when pitted against the might TILT..

Keep telling yourself that.
Maybe it works for you because you DON'T use;
1. Camera
2. Video
3. Keyboard
4. Internet
I suppose if I didn't use that stuff I too could just keep the Tilt
That said. I don't want to turn this into a Kaiser bashing thread (there are enough already)
I want real comparisons that people are interested in when shopping for a device to replace their current device.
To be honest you had no reason to start this thread...
I use the keyboard, internet and camera all the time, (well camera sometimes).. The kayboard is way better than the one from the treo I have before, the intenet works swimmingly on the tilt, and the camera is on a cell phone.

Uh, you FAIL if you can't even remember that Palm started the PDA w touchscreen revolution (not counting the Newton) with their formerly ubiquitious PalmPilots and such, and they started the touch-screen smartphone revolution (with Handspring) with the Treos.
Palm FAILs because they've made poor choices for the last 5 years based on MBAs instead of Engineering degrees.
The fact also that Palm always had instant screen rotation, and never a problem with their screen drivers unlike HTC's software attempts (albeit Palm uses HTC hardware and the Treo Pro is HTC made) makes it a really good WM6.1 Pro alternative to HTC's crippled, flashy, current releases.
Treo Pro even has better IE scrolling which means 2D acceleration. Some people enjoy being able to text with one-hand that's not a Blackberry, and it's a world 3G phone (which most other phones aren't).

That assumsion is incorrect (in context and spelling.) That is the old definition. Clearly you don't like change because your stuck on your Kaiser as the best device ever.
However, if you were paying any attention to the windows mobile world you would have noticed that with the introduction of windows mobile 6.1 the definition of touch/non touch was denoted by 6.1 professional/6.1 standard.
Now please stop getting off topic. If you can't help it then do not post in this thread again.
Just passing through gentlemen...I just wanna ask lewcamino a few comparison questions....
1. How is the overall responsiveness on the touchscreen of the treo pro?
2. If you have TCPMP (latest build), how does the treo pro score on it's benchmark?
Thanks!!!
I was also thinking of switching my tilt for a treo pro too. That said,
1. Does browsing on a smaller screen bother you, I'd think on a screen substantially smaller it would get annoying?
2. I actually like the keyboard on the tilt, but I want a keyboard I could comfortably type using one hand, is this possible on the treo pro?
3. Responsiveness of touch screen, I hate the touchscreen on my tilt.
4. Have you tried the gps? I feel like its the strongest point of my tilt.
5. Would love to see a camera comparison.
I know some of these concerns are primarily objective, but i'd still like to get your opinion.
why compare the two, other than both being touchscreens with WM 6.x and querty pads, they are not in the same league... why downgrade your screensize, keyboard size and camera?
The phone I have is an HTC Kaiser.
I think the Treo Pro has two main advantages:
1) Transreflective display. I think HTC really screwed up putting a normal TFT in most of the Kaisers, display performance is poor outdoors.
2) More resolution - the square display is pretty nice.
3) More stylish & less bulky. I think Palm know about good aesthetics.
It's not enough for me to switch from the Kaiser I have now, but I think I'd probably have gone for the Treo Pro just for the outdoor-suited transreflective display (not bothered about the camera, I have a proper one! )
I know its not out yet but I have been thinking about changing to the Diamond 2. Specs/Info http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchdiamond2/overview.html
As far as I'm concerned, the 5mp camera is useless given no flash of any kind.
Also with the increased screern size, it will suck battery like crazy. The battery is only slightly bigger then the standard Diamond so I dont think it will last very long.....
But still, I'm kinda itching to get it, what's ur opinion?
**** Sry guys, found the other post on this topic... MOD PLS DELETE THIS POST> THANKS *****
Please see the other thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483277
The diamond will most likely NOT need the flash...since it is a f/2.8 equivalent lens. It has a larger aperture and is thus able to draw in more light than most lenses. We have yet to judge its performance as it would also depend on the ISO. With camera optics, 2.8 is getting into the realm of professional lenses.
Same Qualcomm chipset. No way any more. I guess I will wait for Snapdragon chipset or look for a Marvell based one from HTC or other vendors.
Do you guys believe we will someday have the new Sense interface from HTC Hero for the Blackstone?

The famous multi-touch feature is there aswell.
The Hero looks awesome, but the screen is kinda small.
i was reading up on this on my rss feeds and the article i read said they that are thinkin about possibly porting this over to the windows mobile side which would be nice
in a way it reminds me of pointui a bit but if your lookin for something along those lines for windows mobile right now then ponitui is there
The Sense UI (or as HTC terms it, "user experience") riding a capacitive touchscreen offers a people-centric approach to managing your information that is absolutely dreamy at first blush -- though it shares a lot of TouchFLO heritage. In fact, HTC promises to have a very similar Sense-branded experience for Windows Mobile.
Usually, a new HTC device means new GPU drivers and a few tweaks, but now, we could get a whole new UI! That said, we'll have to wait for a WVGA HTC device with this Sense UI before it will look half-decent on our blackstones.
Half the juice on our phones is taken up by Windows. What would be awesome is if we can port Android. Another interesting thing to note is that Hero has a capacitive screen so I'm guessing it'll be a better experience (with multi touch). All said I can only drool. Wishes and regards to all the great chiefs
I think it includes a software multitouch system, because comparing specs of both devices, in the Screen we see:
HD: 3.8-inch TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive screen with 480 x 800 WVGA resolution
Hero: 3.2-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 320x480 HVGA resolution
I know that Hero have multi touch because I saw it at the video presentation.
Let's hope that's true

There is a setting in launcher pro that you can keep the wallpaper centered. Its in appearance settings > disable wallpaper scrolling. This way you can make a wallpaper for the res of a single screen

Well take the screen resolution of the captivate 480x800 and then just triple width. Adjust as needed as you test. Pretty simple math.

Well just try something and then see the results and then adjust accordingly
it's be awesome if you could change the shape of the crop piece in the wallpaper picker
then you could have 3 different backgrounds.
I have found that an image of 960 x 800 pix is the best resolution for the wallpaper cropping tool no matter how many home screens l am using. my guess is you wil want to play with your image until it looks right at that resolution on three home screens.
Number of Screens Does Not Matter
It is my understanding that the number of screens you have has no effect on the resolution of the wallpaper.
The only thing that changes is the rate of scrolling. The more screens you have, the slower the scroll rate, fewer screens increases the scroll rate.
That said, there is no specific resolution for a 3 screen layout vs. any other number of screens.
The phone's (general) optimum resolution for wallpaper is about 960 x 800. So any photo or picture will fit best on the phone if you pre-configure it to that size.
Of course it's best to start with a photo that is larger than that and then either crop it down or resize it to the smaller 960 x 800 dimensions. Increasing the size of, or zooming, a smaller photo up to the optimum 960 x 800, will usually degrade the quality (and clarity) of it.
While 960 x 800 is considered optimum, you can put other sizes on the phone too...you'll just lose a small portion of it, or blank space will be added depending on how you use the wallpaper crop box.

Of course it's best to start with a photo that is larger than that and then either crop it down or resize it to the smaller 960 x 800 dimensions. Increasing the size of, or zooming, a smaller photo up to the optimum 960 x 800, will usually degrade the quality (and clarity) of it.
perfect answer, 960x800 here i come
While 960 x 800 is considered optimum, you can put other sizes on the phone too...you'll just lose a small portion of it, or blank space will be added depending on how you use the wallpaper crop box.
