Newbie: Powerstrip from screenshot thread? Opera Like homescreen w/ pics & Pinch/Zoom

Newbie: Powerstrip from screenshot thread? Opera Like homescreen w/ pics & Pinch/Zoom
Two quick questions form the title. Where can I find that longer Powerstrip from the Screenshots thread with multiple options? saw one that has 7 or 8 options?
Secondly: I like opera's homescreen, but it has no Pinch and Zoom. Sky and Dolphin have it, but the homescreens don't match. (Sky has the pics, but they aren't changeable, right?)
Finally, is there a live-chat room I could bug people on in the future?

SwitchPro Widget is the widget.

Thanks for that, getting it now. Any idea on the best homescreen?

HTC SenseUI does that homescreen pinch and will show you all 5/7 homescreens.

I was actually talking about internet homepage! I like the pics like Chrome/Safari have. Skyfire has em but its not customizable, Opera has it but has no pinch/zoom

Best homescreen is definitely LauncherPro. Has pinch/zoom and lots of speed and functions.

i think no one has a clue what you are really talking about lol

LauncherPro is incredible, I love it, BUT…lol
I'm talking about the internet (Opera/Skyfire/Dolphin)
The homepage on Opera/SkyFire is a nice image wall of your favs, only on Skyfire, that doesn't seem customizable. I'm looking for a browser like Opera with that great homepage, but with a pinch zoom feature.

Recommend a upload picture app

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good upload picture app. I would like to upload a bunch of my pics to a website for viewing at home and on my G1. I would also like it to have a automatic backup feature. Facebook uploading and etc are not important.

One of the best, I think

PicSay Pro is excellent, it has a export feature and you can send photos anywhere. PhotoBeam is good to, but options are limited. Here are some screenshots of PicSay Pro to see if this is what your're looking for, but if your looking to upload to a URL, then PhotoBeam Pro is your monster.

Dreamscenes on your hero!

Well I was fed up of not having any decent livewallpapers on my hero and stumbled across a livewallpaper called video live wallpaper.
This livewallpaper lets you play a video loop as a wallpaper, having just installed dreamscenes on my laptop, I put two and two together and thought why not.
After a few hours of trying various conversion formats I have found the settings to run dreamscape mpg's (dreamscapes must be in video format not dream.) as a livewallpaper on your hero, this looks really good and makes the hero look like its running really complex live wallpapers!
Anyway it works really well and is very stable and looks really good, so thought I would share it! If you check out the short video you can see a few running!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp3pNwQetds
If you want to do this you will need:-
video live wallpaper app (free from market)
Any video converter (free on download.com)
dreamscences in a movie format (google them) or www.dreamscenes.org
You then simply need to convert the dreamscene and run it with the live wallpaper app.
Ive found that the optimum settings for conversion that give the best look/performance balance are:-
Profile= customisied AVI movie
Codec= XVID
Frame size = 352x240
Bitrate = 12000
Frame rate = 15
You can tweak these values but be warned I found that if you go too high your poor old hero will start locking up, at these values I get no performance issues and battery consumption is on par with other live wallpapers, anyway enjoy
Oh and just to be extra nice here are the three from the video, ready converted for you to try if you can't be bothered to convert your own
View attachment Bokeh_xvid.zip
View attachment reactor_1680_xvid.zip
View attachment silky-dance_xvid.zip
(Oh yeah btw you need a custom rom to run live wallpaper on your hero, search development if you dont know how!!)
And just so you know, on my phone ADW launcher didnt seem to like this wallpaper so I swapped to launcher pro and it was fine!
If anyone finds any other cool dreamscenes, please feel free to add them to this thread to give people a selection to use.
EDIT...here's a few more I've converted
View attachment Underwater_xvid.zip
View attachment UnderseaHD_xvid.zip
View attachment 506581
View attachment Colormetry_xvid.zip
View attachment blueUV_xvid.zip

this is fantastic. will be trying this tomorrow.

nice ! I will try it soon !

Looks great, thanks!
...and BTW: I love the swing effect when changing home screens, how did you achieve this? What ROM are you using? Is it possible with CM6?

ROM is froyo 2.2.1 special edition final with fly kernel 12a overclocked to 710mhz
Transition effects are in the latest launcherpro release
In theory any ROM should work as long as it has the live wallpaper hack included, not sure how they will perform, maybe some will run better than others, if anybody feels like posting performance results on other ROMs that would be useful

Just found a site with lots of free dreamscenes to play with
http://www.dreamscene.org

No problem my friend, theres also some cool transitions on ADW launcher now as well if you like that sort of thing
And a little update for anyone trying the dreamscene videos, there seems to be so sort of problem with the video live wallpaper app, after a few days use it starts to really affect performance on my phone, am thinking some sort of memory leak (Im no dev so not sure really) stopping app then rebooting sorts out the problem.
Anyway I've emailed dev about it but if anyones clued up and knows what there looking at, then any input would be good

Hey!
I'm the dev of the VLW. I downloaded one of the videos of the original post and I'll be testing it on my device to see it anything weird starts occuring after a while.
Though I have the Desire HD so I might not have any problems. We'll see.

Thanks for having a look at this for us, would be nice to use this as an every day live wallpaper......and yeah I reckon the desire hd will cope slightly better than our little old heros hehe

Very nice work!
When I get home from work I might try this on my Desire HD too

Very nice!!!!!

[WP] Get your Xoom HQ Wallpapers here!! [+]

These are NOT taken/made by me.
All I did was find them, center, cut (change ratio for xoom) and upload.
If you want me to add a wallpaper that you found, leave a post here, and email me ([email protected]) the wallpaper in highest resolution you can find.
How to set a wallpaper on Xoom (for newbies):
Left-click on any wallpaper here. Once on the hoster website, left-click it again (don't right click - save!)
When you see the full, big version of the wallpaper, only then right click - save image.
Connect Xoom with a microUSB cable to your PC.
Go to My Computer and you'll see "Xoom" in a minute(no drivers needed)
Double click Xoom, then "Device Storage", "Pictures" (or wherever you want to save them)
Copy the wallpaper(s) there (if they are in zip, make sure to unzip them first)
On Xoom, log-tap on home screen, tap "Wallpapers", then "Gallery".
Tap the folder where you've saved the wallpaper(s) ("Pictures" for example). Tap on wallpaper.
Drag the corners of the clue rectangle to engulf the entire wallpaper.
Tap "Ok" in upper right corner.
I'll be adding more if you guys like these.
Thanks to klone96 for adding the official XOOM wallpapers.
Enjoy =)

HD Wallpapers from the Market does not work on my Xoom. I installed it, but when I go to open it it does not work at all. Did you actually get this to work??

This is strange.
If you try and open the HD Wallpaper app in landscape, it closes instantly but if you hold the Xoom portrait style, it works. (at least on mine).
Try it and let me know if it's the same on your end.

nice, thanks.

Yup, that is exactly the case. I think I read somewhere that the dev was notified and he is apparently working on an update.

my problem is that i can never set an wallpaper in the center of the screen. im pissed about it

It is working on my wifi xoom. Not sure if it was updated in the last few days or not. I searched "tablet" and it was in the results.

yea, but the nice thing is they are vector based, & you shouldn't be worried about pixels anymore

What? Photoshop, a bitmap application, works with vectors? Explain this to me. I am stumped.

Photoshop Touch is bitmap = pixel based
Adobe Ideas is Vector based.

I got the Photoshop last night and was so impressed by it I bought collage this morning and proto an hour ago. The cloud integration is amazingly fluid and easy to use. The implementation of google image search built in saves a lot of time from having to first download from the web to your os and then upload to photoshop.Collage has an amazing feature whereyou can crop any image straight from the [email protected] This is a high class set of apps that can bring out the inner artist in anybody.

I watched this video a few weeks ago -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89hej8N1Me0
I was so impressed by that and the preview video on the Adobe site that the minute I got the email saying it was available, I purchased it without hesitation. The only limitation is that it can only save files to 1600px. Excellent app!

as far as I get it, the photos & stuff are (of course) pixel & not vector, but while working it processes vector for selection & things, I found it really damn precise if it's not vector

I was disappointed to find out that Adobe Ideas wasn't a mobile version of Illustrator which I had thought it would be, I read "vector based" in the description and was stoked, but found out it was just another drawing application that can transfer over to Illustrator as a vector...not quite the same thing. I wanted point manipulation on the Xoom...would have been really bad ass to do my vectors on a tablet anywhere.

I was reallylooking forward to using photoshop but since it cannot open local files its pretty much a huge dealbreaker for me. Once they add the ability to edit local PSDs ill be jumping right on it..

you can both open your .psd in tablet & opening your .psdx (new format for adobe PS touch) in your pc.
here is how
but few people reported when opening .psd formats in tablet, all the layers are flattened. (for me, it happens only for heavy .psd files)

I know you can do it from the "creative cloud" but I would like to do it from local files like SD card or flash drive.. that would be nice

P.S an option to export to different formats directly

I'm assuming you guys have used Sketch Book Pro? That has a pretty decent PSD export tool (which works with dropbox which I prefer and where all the rest of my stuff is). I agree with the different export ability too.

I got it and it doesn't seem to be working for me
