Its the begining of a new way of building beautifull wallpapers that u can actually bring to life. Now that's Insanely cool If that's a word?.........lol

Theres 2 live wallpapers on the market Digital Rain and some duck 1. They both work on Manups 2.1.

Where do you see that someone has it working with 2.1? I only see them getting it to work with 2.0.1.

Does anybody have or is there a way we can get the live wallpaper from the Nexus? I want the grey screen that has the colored blocks that move up and down.

theres one in market called starfield
http://uk.androlib.com/android.application.com-discoverdroid-starfield-pDCp.aspx
or type "live wallpaper" in market for more like duck hunt where you shoot ducks

I bought the blobs live wallpaper, I actually find it quite nice (looks some what like a concert laser) also seems less stressful than the star field.
Id say its worth the $1.26 (.99 pounds)

I bought Rainbow and Bokeh. Might just be in my head, but Rainbow seems to be the smoothest running LWP on my G1 in terms of causing lagginess. Bokeh seems to eat up more memory or something because switching homescreens gets pretty choppy.

[Q] will there ever be live wallpaper?

Hi, I am new here and I think that the progress you have made is truly astounding however, I was wondering whether in later releases, perhaps if it becomes more stable, if you will ever add live wallpaper support. this would be an excellent feature to include in a final release. Just wanted to know...

I can allready use live wallpapers, but there is no 3d rendering so it is SUPER slow..
When good rendering is possible, we get nice live wallpapers

I knew it would be slow, but thanks for the reply.
and how do you do it (I wanna design a real simple one). Whenever I install one, it doesn't give me the option to put in Live Wallpaper.
IDK but it would be cool if it was fast/faster.

It is build in my android rom.. I'm using the one from LENINred with HTC Sense

[REQUEST] Could anyone create this livewallpaper? ( for Umbrella Corp. theme)

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?

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.

New FREE 3D Launcher-Regina

Hey guys, there a new 3D launcher available called Regina. It looks really amazing, and puts SPB mobile shell to shame. Best of all, its FREE!!!!. ill test it and post a feedback very soon. in the mean time do give it a try
"Regina 3D Launcher
A launcher that uses pure 3D graphics has arrived.
Regina 3D Launcher has exciting and dynamic 3D effects for your pleasure.
Browsing workspaces, creating shortcuts, and removing widgets have gotten a little bit more fun.
And that's not all, we have more great features that you might be interested.
Now experience the excitement and fun you can have with all the cool features in Regina.
Video demo of Regina Launcher can be found on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXhtxecPHr8
* Highlighted Features
- Intuitive 3D workspace browser
- Separate wallpaper for each workspace
- Secret workspaces where you can hide some of your app shortcuts and widgets for your privacy
- Regina widgets (full 3D widgets)
- All widgets and shortcuts can be positioned freely without much restrction in workspaces
- Uninstall apps from workspace directly
- Pleasant visual effects
* Notes
- First of all, select "Version x.x.x" item in Regina Settings menu and update all app in list.
- Supports Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and tested on Galaxy Tab too.
- Live Wallpaper is not supported because of performance issue.
- Because Regina 3D Launcher is pure 3D graphics, your device must have a decent graphics chip to gain usable performance."
EDIT: Here's a video of some of the other improvements that the developers are working on:
http://www.youtube.com/user/NemusTech#p/a/u/2/HQu53fuzarE

first impressions are really good. the transitions between home screens are brilliantly fluid. the flipping of the digital clock is smooth most of the time but sometimes it does get a little choppy, but its easily overlooked. some niggly bugs, but they are easily overlooked. excellent eye candy. not many add-ons yet, but the available ones are brilliant with superbly smooth transitions and good animation. unfortunately everytime u launch an app ie text messaging, and go back to your home screen, it takes a while (ie a brief lag) before u get there. slightly annoying, but its nt sthg tht'll make u uninstall this otherwise magnificent launcher.
the weather application does not have very many cities yet, but im pretty sure all these minor things will be fixed in newer updates. the menu is a horizontal style transition with numbered pages, as opposed to the standard android style vertical scrolling. the translucent menu means the home screen is visible in the background...a rather nice touch
the theme application has some very pretty wallpapers to it. sadly though, i cant seem to synchronize the theme of the home screens with the lock screen, and unfortunately i cant seem to use the wallpapers that are already on my phone for the home screens. not a major issue, but a lil annoying.
all in all, i think for a free launcher, it certainly gives launcher pro, and SPB mobile shell, which are both paid apps a run for their money.
there is also word that it is open source, for themes and such, so devs take note
Final Word: in my personal opinion, i find this the best launcher i have used so far. and i do hope that the updates and bug fixes will be released sooner to make it even better.
EDIT: This application is especially brilliant for people looking for a good launcher but are unable to purchase applications from the Android Market due to the fact they come from countries in which google does not distribute applications just yet: ie Malaysia, Indonesia, China etc.

Thanks I'll test this

Funny u said its a battery killer I never noticed any significant difference with my battery life. Perhaps u were fiddling around with it cuz of how it looks and animates the transitions?

i just noticed there is no landscape support which is quite sad. hopefully the devs of this app will fix tht in future updates.

This home replacement looks just fine! I like it very much. The almost best feature is "hiding" shortcuts and widgets - very useful!

Very nice launcher and the widgets look really nice! Would you consider putting the widgets on the marketplace to be used with other launchers?

You can find the weather widget, calender and to-do list on the marketplace already. If u search for more products under the devs name you would locate it. However you need Regina launcher to be able to use those widgets. Regina widgets will not work with other launchers.

from what i hear this particular launcher is open source. so you could very well design your own widgets

I tried it...but it was slightly slower than Motoblur and LauncherPro. It is ok to live with but gets annoying after a while.

Nook Color CM7 Wallpaper size

I did a little searching on the forums but havnt come accross a post that has the correct size for a wallpaper size that wont look all pixelated and terrible when applied. ive tried 1200x1024 and even 1900x1024 it all looks pretty bad. Any information would be awesome! Thanks

No offense but didn't look to hard. The VERY first page of Themes and Apps section has the thread your looking for, with all the details you want. In a nutshell there is no REAL resolution, but that thread has the solution and it works very well.

my bad i searched in General and Q&A i didnt think it would be in themes.

No worries, if you could see my face that was typed with a smile. We're all here (well most of us anyway) to make this awesome device more usable for everybody, i don;t mind helping at all. Didn't mean to come off rude if i did

Give Multi Picture Live Wallpaper a try, free in the market. Has worked 100% for me.
Rodney

Install QuickPic (free) and set wallpaper with it. It'll keep the image nice and sharp.
example: http://k.min.us/ib6DuE.png
It's also a great image viewer, faster than the gallery and easy to exclude certain folders.

Agree with previous post. Greaet app.

Quickpic does a good job for Portrait wallpapers but fails badly at Landscape. Ive tried everything possible on the nook for a locked landscape setup and the best result ive had was gathering a ton of pictures, slapping them into a folder, then selecting that folder inside a app called Wall Switch from the market, and just keep switching till a razor sharp one shows up.
I know its not a proper method, but after a while, at least one of them shows up super sharp and high-res and looks amazing. Wish i could be more precise, but thats all i got.

I love what you did

Eozoon, I wish you had posted how you arranged such a nice looking layout. Does anyone know what he used? I would love to know.
*EDIT* I found out where the battery and disk widgets come from, if I find out anymore I'll update my post.
Calendar widget
CPU widget
Folder icons
Battery % widget => Mini Info
disk usage widget => Mini Info
Toggle widget
Launcher/theme

I forgot what the clock is might just be beautiful widgets. Sorry I used to know but this ins't much help.
The cpu widget is SetCPU.
Not sure about the others.

Calendar widget - I assume you mean the clock? That's Simi Clock, I also use Simple Calendar Widget for the actual calendar in an other homescreen.
CPU widget - SetCPU
Folder icons - Simi Folder
Battery % widget => Mini Info
disk usage widget => Mini Info
Toggle widget - Widgetsoid
Launcher/theme - ADW, default theme, I think. Wallpaper from Wallbase.

Thanks for the info. Now I can get mine looking spiffy.

Search on the market for an app called "Image 2 Wallpaper". It's given really clear images and allows for different scaling options.
