I searched and found links on how to make a live wallpaper from scratch, but I wanted to see if I could take a small video clip and loop it as a live wallpaper?
*EDIT*- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739512
Awesome!
try and take it frame by frame, then use one of those live wallpaper makers?

I guess you could, I just figured someone would know how to go from a video format directly.
Found the software to make it! Edited the OP.

Hi there,
i would like to create an Resident Evil Umbrella Corporation style theme for our droids, perfect would be an animated Umbrella Corp Logo live wallpaper.
Could anyone create a live wallpaper from this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzHcZabNGqw
Best would be if the Umbrella Corp letters on the left corner could disappear.
Thanks, would really be great
Download the video using any means.
Convert it to a bunch of images (pngs)
Use a batch rename program like (faststone) to rename em to 1.png,2.png,3.png....
Go in the nexus themes/apps section and look for my "Custom Lwp Script" or in market an app called Custom Lwp if i recall.
They both allow u to create lwp out of sequence of images.
Good Luck
Thanks for the hint
It gaves me 360 images in reduced quality, isn't maximum of images 300?

Hmm yes it is.
Either eliminate some while maintaining a smooth animation or get the app i was talking about from market "Custom Lwp" if i recall.

Reads the pictures from sd card, right? hmmm... not so good for card life, especially when running a desire hd rom which works half from sd, too.
i've notice that on the custom lwp it says that it must be the exact same size as the phone resolution but for live wallpapers like mariolive its scrollable would we be able to make scrollable LWP with this as well?
threads a little bit old but i was wondering if anyone knew how to convert a swf to individual png's frame by frame, searching google got me everything in reverse but nothing like i wanted

Quick version: no such thing.

and does anyone made it?
Actually pretty sure you can convert an swf to an avi and then convert that to individual pngs.
Avi to pngs can be done with gimp and the gap package.

Would drain your battery, but you can use Video Live Wallpaper.
Lets you set your own video as a live wallpaper.
as far as killing your SD Card, would you be able to push the files to your device internal storage?
Perhaps not, im not too familiar with your device.
Sorry if this doesn't work.
So I keep seeing threads pop up on wallpaper this & Wallpaper that.
I thought it would be cool if we started a thread on usable and favorite wall paper for the Gtab.
(Please keep this thread on track for the subject)
Here are two that I created quickly I had these made originally for my Hero, so I just increased the size.
Here are some Diamond plate ones.
And some more of the fur type
Fire and Ice
Shattered Screen
Android puzzle
Nice looking backgrounds, may have to try a couple.

Thank you for sharing .
Do live wallpapers count? If so there are three witch I've tried and work okay on this beast..
Super Mario Live
3D Matrix & Reloaded Live
Rotate Earth Live
Silhouette Live
Canopy Live
A couple dozen others I tried only showed/worked partially.
For regular wallpapers I've got a Martian sunset, the only panoramic view of Venus' surface from the Russian probe, a couple of Earth orbit and Earth's city lights from space... some anime I'll post them when I get home.
Yes Live wallpapers would count, post all wallpapers so everyone can check them out.
I'm not on my gtab right now so I can post the wps I have but I'd like to share this website where I downloaded some wallpapers. Cool thing about this site is, if you go to the website using your gtab, there's a process in there that will auto detect your wallpaper size. If you don't want it to autodetect, you can also choose the resolution you want. After you choose the size a preview will pop up and you can long press to save it or set it as your wallpaper. The wallpapers look great.
You don't have to sign up and there's some pretty cool wallpapers.

Here are some pretty cool wallpapers
The first two are from the anime Bleach, don't know if any of you read or watch the anime/manga. 1st is Ichigo in his new hollow form, 2nd is Ulquiorra in his release form.
The last two are from where else-space! 1st is an earth orbit shoot. 2nd a Martian sunset from taken by the Spirit rover. PS. Look at how tiny the sun looks like from Mars..
Look at page one I will edit my post and post some more.
i've found that wallpapers on the zeam launcher work pretty much perfect. the launcher is smart enough to resize it properly without having to zoom in much. needless to say, i'm sticking with this launcher from now on. only thing that it doesn't have for me is being able to save your configuration.
and here are a whole bunch of 1024x1024 wallpapers: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/apple_devices/ipad_1024x1024/
yea i know its ipad but hey, its 1024x1024.
I like this one
Anyone know where to get this wallpaper
would really like to find it to continue working on my overall theme
Thanks
aquarium free and aquarium donate work great.. Im using it on my tab right now.. love the turtle and the little treasure chest
I dunno if they made it, but I remember that wp from cyanogen mod Makto, you'll be able to find it on their latest rom.
Silly question, but...
Why is it that my tablet will crop images from widescreen to square when selecting an image as wallpaper?

i think thats an android limitation. not sure though because it does the same on my Droid, crops the pic as a square.

It does it for the side scrolling effect. For example on a 480x800 res phone which is normally in portrait you need to use a 960x800 sized image to avoid it being cropped (if you turn the phone landscape it crops the bottom of the image).
The best solution I've found for the Gtab is to use 1024x1024 images (heaps here http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/apple_devices/ipad_1024x1024/) and set them using the app Wallpaper Set & Save.
I have spent the last several hours downloading wallpapers from 4walled.org for my phone. The wallpapers look so nice on the computer, and I really wanted to start theming my phone with them.
So I've loaded up the 300+ wallpapers to my SD-card, and as I start browsing through them in the gallery, I have realized one immutable fact: they all look horrible. The gradients aren't really gradient, they're splotchy.
It was my understanding that this phone's LCD was capable of 24bit color? Perhaps it is not and this is where my woes are from. I have also noticed that .PNG backgrounds do seem to look better than the .jpg counterparts.
Any comments or wisdom into selecting backgrounds would be greatly appreciated.
I just looked at some of those images and they dont look that high quality to me. Maybe your monitor is older and made them look better than they are. Check here for some more. Maybe you will find some you like. http://wallbase.cc/start/
Look up "wallpaper set and save" on market, it will eliminate the color banding you get when you set a wallpaper through the gallery app.
Also make sure the resolution on any wall you get is a minimum of 960x800.

I use fish bowl photo which will also eliminate the banding. dodol wallpaper maker works great for setting portrait wallpapers too.

Thank you for that site, I always used Interfacelift.net. Nice addition.
I regularly raid DeviantArt for backgrounds and use Wallpaper Wizardrii to set the wallpapers. WW allows you to set a properly sized background without cropping.

Do you prefer that over the Fish Bowl Gallery? And does it support high-resolution images?

I've never used Fish Bowl. I only just started using WW today, but I would think that the no crop feature would only work on a wallpaper that was at or below the correct size for the display.
its all about nik.bot.nu thanks for wallbase.cc tho, another site to lose large chunks of my life too lmao
I get my wallpapers from socwall.com. Thats where I found my current wallpaper.
Thanks for all the links and the info! I will surely check those out!

This.
Wallpaper Set and Save will fix what you've described, including the gradients issues you've mentioned.

Has anyone thought thought that the end credit animated background of Alice in Wonderland would be an amazing live wallpaper. I'm sure it would be a paid one but it would be worth it....
I think that would be a good one also but it may get taken down from the market the same way Mario live wallpaper did.
Why not capture it, save it to video and use the video live wallpaper discussion here...
i will have to check it out the actual credits will annoy me thou.
Anyone have a video of it? If its not to complicated & i like it i can add it to my list lol.
To above, video LWP's suck....just saying.
I upgraded to the new OTA, and found that the smoke wallpaper I had was no longer included. Can someone pull it out so I can regain my favorite wallpaper?

If you like live smoke wallpapers, or live wall.p. in general you should try this apk = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartapps.simple.media.wallpaper.android
it lets you set up a video as wallpaper. Mp4 only, landscape mode only. You can get some pretty cool videos here=http://www.epicslowmo.com/free-clips/
( i used one of those videos for my home screen; will post more later)
Love the smoke wallpaper
Was there any other live wallpapers which were included?
