I'm making Live wallpaper.If you have some animation and you would like it a live wallpaper Let me know.
Big thanks to Kangi26k for the Android Hands animation
To install copy it to your device, and install it just like any other apk.
I take no credit for the program to do this.
A nice HD shot of a total solar eclipse sort of fluxuating there would make a nice wallpaper.
Or (incoming geekout) a nice HD shot of a Stargate sitting there active.
A blinking Hal 9000 would be cool.
I'd personally like to see a Dalek. That's an android that demands respect.

Not sure if it is floating around somewhere, but maybe a LWP of a background that is clear water (the entire screen), but then when you touch it, it makes a reverberation across the screen
Just like the water one that comes with the phone, but no leaves and no tree background, just clear water
This is my first attempt at a boot animation. The only tools I used was Photoshop, Internet Explorer and a whole lot of patience.
It is very large right now, a whopping 32 MB...but functional. In retrospect, I should have stuck to less frames and tried to maintain the looping effect, oh yeah, and I probably should've snuck DESIGNGEAR's name in there somewhere! (oops, sorry about that).
Maybe with a little luck, I can clean it up a little later on. Let me know what you think.
Oh yeah, maybe someone in here could rig up an animated gif of this thing to serve as a preview?
Download
Photoshop can make animated .gifs. Just make each image it's own layer, and use the Animation pallet.
I'm liking it. Especially the AT&T burn effect.
screenshot please?

Looks really cool but I noticed that it indicates there is a battery and performance impact. Perhaps if it didn't take into account the orientation of the phone and slosh around the liquid the impact would be less.
that is pretty SWEET!
id pay for that too
Liquid Battery, while it may not look as good as the one you refer to, can accomplish a similar effect:

I posted in Xda Q&A with the .apk hoping a dev would be able to enhance the live wallpaper. The .apk works but the image is not so clear. WE are close to getting this wallpaper to the Thunderbolt.

I downloaded the apk and de-compiled it.
Keep in mind, I am not a Dev, I am a Graphics Designer.
I changed all of the images made some minor edits to the smali files and the xml files.
I changed the SDK Version and a number of minor things but I can't get it to work properly.
The problem isn't that it is in low resolution, it is not displaying the bubbles or the ice cubes.
I don't really understand why because it displays the water level just fine.
Like I said, I redone all of the bubble images and re-saved them, re-compiled the apk, signed it and installed.
I get the same results no matter what I do...
The ice cubes and the bubbles don't display, you just get a square white box in their place.
I hope someone picks this up, it is pretty cool. When someone that knows what they are doing gets hold of this it is probably something simple.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

I've done the same thing but so far I have got some of the smaller and medium bubbles working. Time to see if I can get the rest up and running. .

That's further than I got, the ice cubes would be a big improvement.
Someone in another thread stated that it looks like a big Styrofoam box, I tend to agree
I would have to agree with you gadget. I would be content with just the ice cubes working without the bubbles. I am excited to see at least some progress here!
I haven't seen a lot of good Screensaver sets out there for the nook touch, most don't even properly fit the screen, and I don't care for the two that come with it. I'd like to have this thread be a place where people can post theirs and get lots of awesome ones. The only rule I can think of is all pictures should be .jpg and have to be at 600x800 res.
Installing screensavers is as easy as follows:
Plug nook into computer via usb.
In the internal flash storage go into a folder call screensavers.
Make a new folder in here. Note: the name of the folder will also be the name of the screensaver/set.
Whatever pictures you put in the new folder will be added to that screensaver/set.
I'll start off with a clean version from one of my favorite mangas Elfen Lied! If you would like the non-clean (just 5 extra pictures) pm me.
I gathered a bunch on high resolution personal photos (family, pets, vacations), opened them in gimp, cropped them so that they were the correct ratio than scaled them down to 800x600. Lastly i converted them to grayscale. Some were landscape, some were portrait. If they were landscape i had to rotate them clockwise. The hardest part was trying to get the right ratio without cutting too much out.
They fill the whole screen and look great!

Well, don't forget about these sites for your NST Screensaver pleasure:
The Nook Wallpapers Pool
The Kindle Backgrounds Pool (these work just fine as they are all in exactly the same res as the NST backgrounds)
...and, of course, the ever-popular Nook-Look.com (with screensavers for both color Nooks and e-ink versions)
Lots to choose from.
This sounds stupid, but I'm still looking for other "dead author" pics of famous people... even living authors. I know that the B&N brick and mortar store has one of Stephen King that looks pretty cool. I think that style of portrait is pretty neat. Maybe someone can come up with a Photoshop filter or something to do that...

Anyone want to pack the kindle ones up into screensaver sets(as their already black and white)? And I know someones got to have made their own that they want to show off! Like ones' of their favorite authors or the covers of their favorite books? Drizzit anyone?
I throw some of them together myself
All credit goes to The Kindle Backgrounds Pool for the following files!
These were taken around the net, I can't remeber exactly where .
EDIT: Probably some where taken from nook-look.com...
Pair of Nook Simple Touch Screensavers
Bought my Mom a Simple Touch for Xmas; she likes flowers so I put together a 5-picture flower screensaver for her that includes the "press Nook button" graphic on the bottom. Also, made a light & dark version of the B&N Nook logos for screensavers. Hope somebody can use them.
I'm not really into all that screensavers, cause i dont let my nook rest xD
i like ukiyo-e pictures cause they tend to have high contrast
also check my current desktop, unfortunately my screenshot app takes screens in color ;D
Few of mine screensavers.
This one is awesome... to prank a nook owner.
Also my compilation of Eschers graphics. They look really cool on my nook
That's pretty sweet

From the manual tutos on my sig.
Hi all,
I'm coming from and SGSII and I'm in the process of trying to setup my One how I like it. There's a few things troubling me though.
-The blacks of the screen don't seem especially black and it seems there's no way to adjust the contrast. The whole screen seems a bit flat/grey
-The menus are black text on white, I much prefer the white on black of the SII
-The scroll 'brakes' too quickly as your finger comes off the screen, it's like sliding something on sandpaper as opposed to ice. There's no 'mega scroll' flick
-I've had to download a task manager killer but I cannot end google+, gmail and googlemaps. I don't want them.
-The icons on my SII are a lot better
-I'd like the notification bar to be black
-On the SII I have gps switched off but weather apps still work, with the HTC gps has to be on.
-I'm going to have to root this phone to get adfree aren't?
I'm using nova launcher so a lot of things are similar but those things above are really bugging me. I've googled all of them and had no luck so let me know if I'm missing anything.
Thanks.
I didn't read your whole post but to get white text on black you are going to have to go with an inverted Rom, like d3rp or 42One I am sure there are others but those two come to mind.

Thanks, I might hold off on rooting for a while.
The main thing I wanted to check was that I wasn't missing an obvious settings and that the screen was working properly, it's VERY flat and grey compared to my SII.
Overall it's doing a good job but the screen is going to have to take some getting used to.

-The blacks of the screen don't seem especially black and it seems there's no way to adjust the contrast. The whole screen seems a bit flat/grey
This is the difference between AMOLED and LCD. The contrast on the One is pretty much the best available on a phone LCD, but it is still an LCD, and cannot match the black levels of AMOLED.
-The menus are black text on white, I much prefer the white on black of the SII
The menus on the SII are white on black because white is a very expensive color to display, battery-wise, on an AMOLED screen. Inverted roms, or themes, will fix this for you.
-The scroll 'brakes' too quickly as your finger comes off the screen, it's like sliding something on sandpaper as opposed to ice. There's no 'mega scroll' flick
Depends on the app you're using. If you're speaking about within Sense (settings, app drawer, etc) then yeah I guess, but I'm not sure why you would need the long scrolling in such short lists.
-I've had to download a task manager killer but I cannot end google+, gmail and googlemaps. I don't want them.
Uninstall/disable them via settings>apps or kill them with an app.
-The icons on my SII are a lot better
rofl
-I'd like the notification bar to be black
Theme
-On the SII I have gps switched off but weather apps still work, with the HTC gps has to be on.
-I'm going to have to root this phone to get adfree aren't?
You had to root your S2 to get that too.

Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated. Much as I feared the about the screen. It's a shame, I do really like OLED. Those are the two big things now, the screen and lack of centre button. It's stupid because most apps now have a black bar at the bottom which takes up about 10% of the screen for the 'options' button. A button would be much better. If it had those two things it would be the perfect phone in my eyes.
Makes sense about the menus, I checked out the 42One rom and it looks pretty good. I spent yesterday getting everything set up so I'm going to wait to root and flash.
The scroll/flick behaviour is a bit different but some lists do have a 'mega-scroll' so that was me I guess, I'd still prefer it if it was a bit looser.
I found the only option was to disable certain apps, I guess I won't be able to get into removing stuff until I root the phone.
Maybe I should have said i don't like the stock icons, I still prefer the SII one but have since downloaded some icon packs so we're all good there.
On my journeys I saw someone had written a little program to guide you through rooting your phone so I'll have to find that again. I'd also like to backup my stock setup in case of warranty issues further down the line.
Thanks again.

You can use the HTC Logo as menu button. But you'd need a custom kernel that supports that.
AMOLED displays are usually very over saturated compared to IPS LCD displays. But IPS will give you a more accurate color and truer whites and blacks.

The HTC logo doesn't have a capacitive sensor, the "logo button" feature actually uses the first row of pixels immediately above the logo as a button.
Not trying to attack anyone here, just want to make sure that the information is explained a bit more.

Yep, it's the tradeoff you made when you picked LCD.
If its any consolation, displaying white on your S2 actually caused the display consumption to go up drastically (sometimes double the power required) while on LCD the screen uses a much more consistent amount of power. The whites on your One -should- appear as truer whites, while yes, the black will be more washed out.

Useful to know, thanks!
Thanks for the input, being brand new to HTC I'm still learning what's available.
Ideally I like Nova so I'd like to keep that. I'd like the general menus to be white text on black BG, I can clean things out with Titanium and stop ads with adfree.
From what I can tell I'm going to need to root the phone and then install a rom.
Are there 'pre-optimized' roms? Are there any Roms which are basically stock except for the colour flip? Can I get 4.3 in there as well? That middle button would be great too. My SII came with swype, I miss that.
I've found instructions on rooting but a little unsure which rom to go for, konfuzion's suggestion of 42One looks ok but I don't know what's out there, supported and up to date.
If you have any more thoughts they're always welcome
I'm gonna need some help on this guys.
I'm in the UK on the EE network, can I download any rom or do I need a specific 'EE' one?
Do I need a rom if I just want superuser privileges and a reversed/inverted menu? (also be able to install titanium backup and adfree)
I think I can handle the rest of it.
Thanks.
Well you most likely have a gsm one so you wouldn't want to flash anything in the sprint one section. And seeing as your gsm i believe there are a few roms over there that are 4.3
