I found this awesome movie manager for anyone running Honeycomb at the moment. Michell Bak, the developer, said he is working on a version for GB and Froyo as well. Check it out if you haven't already.
Thanks!
Yeah, it is pretty slick! I will probably get the paid app when I get more titles on my tablet. I have noticed that the widget does not load the images until the app is opened...does ths happen for anyone else?
Purchased my copy of app
This app is awesome. Really makes my tablet complete when its movie night with the wife. Visually it looks amazing and functions very well.

Here we talk about themes and applications for the upcoming Moto Xoom!
Beeen messing with a 7' galaxy tab for the last couple of weeks, and have noticed only one non scalable app that doesn't fit the tablet, and that's engadget.
TweetDeck, and any of the main news and weather apps work and look fantastic. So can;t see why they won't fit 10'
This thing looks awesome already so i cant wait to see what the devs whip up to FURTHER increase the awesome. haha
I was pretty excited to hear Monster Madness ran well on it! Maybe the Sony suite might bring us some other ps3 quality games!
Existing apps in Android Market

kindly share your experience.
Thanks.
SpeedX updated for the Xoom can't wait to see how that plays.

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!

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 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

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

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!!!!!
Tested and works on the fascinate.
I personally like the miui app better but you might enjoy this. Looks like the image gallery lol

Edit: seems to take up alot of resources..see what you think. I get lag when using it..you might not.

Love the app. But i've tried many times before, this phone just does not handle it good. It ruins music with skipping/studdering. Which is surprising because its fine on the inc. But you cant even play music and load a webpage. Its just a cool looking thing but will definitely require a more finalized build to make it even acceptable
agreed.

I recently got CM7 on my Aria, and was really looking forward to running the LWP from the Verizon R2D2. Wow what a let down! I really didn't think much of them tbh, so I went looking to see what I could put together with what was out there.
Grab an app called "Video Live Wallpaper" and throw the Avi inside this zip on your SD card for use with it. I'm working on a DS trench vid as well... Enjoy.
Yeah as a owner of the R2D2 the live wallpapers arent great. But i havent found any i really liked the were worth having on all the time.
awesome, to the max
Anyone find a good fantasy football draft app they like? Not having much luck finding one that takes advantage of the tablet size screen. Looking for one that also support auction style as well.

I will say that I admitedly didn't use my draft app for anything other than keeping track of the players who were taken (only because I didn't think of using one until we were 5 picks in so I didn't look for any specific features, but I found and liked "draft punk" which was free. I guess look at it and see if it has the features you want.
