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...

[REQ] Live Wallpaper Request - Google UK Logo Inspired

has anyone here seen the google uk logo? the one that is composed of multicolored balls that can be disturbed or agitated by the mouse.
google.co.uk
it could be a nice live wallpaper.
-multicolored balls filling up a black screen or a color customizable background
-balls wiggles in place
-can be agitated by touch
-optional:
colors of balls that will appear can be customized
interval for color changing can be adjusted
Saw that earlier awesome isn't it
it would make good a live wallpaper...
and to clear things up it's not only on google UK.
+1 to this. Imagine even if it was simply the word "Google" as we're using Android phones I think that would be quite fitting.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
hoping someone could do this.
The Google logo is back to normal now, I think I could take a stab at this as I am learning Java and my demo paper (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=133197) is relatively similar. Anyone know where to see the Google logo again, I never saw it the other day when it was out, just heard about it.
Just did some thinking and did a proof of concept for myself, made a single dot that reacts to touch... should be easy to make lots of dots do the same and do other things.
here's one from youtube.

Usable Wallpaper Thread for Gtab

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 dont understand how to make wallpaper fit....

Hello xda I have been out of the android department for a while. To be exact its been since December of 2011 and since than I have been a member of the iOS family. I have recently gotten back into the world of android with a galaxy s4. Unfortunately I have run into a problem that I used to all the time when I had my old htc evo. The wallpapers do not fit. They are always zoomed in. Regardless of the crop it zooms in. Some launchers allow the scrolling effect which if you scroll the five slides you see the whole wallpaper but I am not really looking for that. I was more hoping to see the whole wallpaper at all times (like I do on iphones). I have seen post about different wallpaper apps that can crop the wallpaper to fit right but unfortunately those are not working for me either. They always zoom it to far out and half my screen is black while the middle is the wallpaper. I just dont get why this was an issue almost 3 years ago and it still is....

This is very easy to do depending on your launcher but the instructions also vary depending on your launcher, so what launcher are you using? I personally recommend Nova. Do you also have a specific wallpaper? If your wallpaper isn't made to fit (ie 1920x1080) then som if it will just have to be cropped.
You can also try Wallpaper Wizardri from the market.

Question Interactive wallpapers gone ?

No, i dont mean live wallpapers as they are today - video footage.
I used to have nice wallpapers on old phones (S1, S2) that would react to touch - signals spreading via pcb traces from finger upon poking the screen, rings in water surface growing, strange cube undulating landscape, etc, etc.
There was even a wallpaper i could play with - some sort of bacteria growing wallpaper, where upon poking the screen you spawn life, that needs to feed on other spawns of different colors...
Gyro activated wallpapers, sound reactive, touch responsive - that sort of thing.
Yeah, yeah, battery life... dont care
All i find now is "look at this aerial night new york footage" live wallpaper... bleh. Just got S21 Ultra and well disappointed in wallpapers...
#EDIT1# Ha, found my old microbes.apk live wallpaper, the microbe feeding thing Still works on S21 Ultra...Noice... And its from ICS gen...oof... i feel old...
