[Q] Looking for 2 Apps - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm looking for an app to set any .swf file as a wallpaper on my xperia x8 if it's possible ?? as even w910 and many other old phones could set .swf flashlite files as wallpapers and screensaver ....
and
Is there any voicemail app for android phones ? which will auto record the message of incoming call (voice) so later you can hear it ?
Thanks

Swf files are moving images, right? So it's like a live wallpaper, but from what I've learned, Android isn't programmed to apply a swf as a wallpaper. So you must make a live wallpaper to resemble that swf file.
Android is just programmed in a different way.

and how to convert swf files into live wallpapers ?

Two applications
Games
vedio calling

I don't care about flash games, I have made some custom flash animations of 320x480 of my names and etc.

You can't just convert. You need to build it from scratch in Java.

HTC Nexus one feature questions

Hi! All. I'm interested in the HTC Nexus one but need clarification on some of its features. Been finding on the internet but still can't get any info about the following issues.
1) Can it set different profiles such as General, meeting, silent, etc, like nokia?
2) Ringtones -
Incoming & Message:
i) does it have a limitation on the duration of the playback like only 10 or
30 seconds limit like the iphone & sony ericsson phones or it can
playback the whole mp3 file like nokia without cutting the song halfway
due to playback limitations.
ii)Can we use our own mp3 files to use as ringtone?
3) It runs on Android 2.1. i've read that it supports Live Animated &
interactive Wallpaper. Does it support also GIF, flash or mp4 animated
wallpaper? i don't need the interactive part just want to download
animated files & use it as wallpaper.
4) Any lag issues when switching or selecting applications?
Appreciate everyone's help in answering the above questions. Thx in advance.

Can set to silent. Not sure about everything else. Come to think of it, I've never checked, though I came from a Nokia too.

No limitation. Yes, you can use your own mp3 files.

Er, no. The live wallpapers use their own format.

Put your own songs/tones in mp3 or ogg format, the whole song/tone will play (out of box)... Use market apps for features like fade in, etc.

Live wallpapers are interactive and use the Andorid 2.1 framework to judge interactions... it is bound to the framework... if you want custom live wallpapers, you can develop your own or ask someone to...

[Q] Why cant my N1 view the animition of a .gif picture?

It really grinds my gears that my N1 cant play the animation of a gif picture while I am viewing it in the gallery. My brothers samsung behold can play them and even add them for a contact's picture and still play the animation when he gets a call from that contact.
I know what you mean. My Hero would play gifs in the gallery and so does my friends Captivate. According to the specs the Nexus One supports the .gif format and they play fine in the browser. Weird.

Yeah i know, i just posted this in case any one knows of an app that will make it play outside of the internet browser.
I believe android lacks support for gifs.
Havent seen a single android device that could view gifs. Ya it sucks
For playing animated GIF:
1. Download Opera Mobile (non Opera Mini)
2. enter in the address bar
file:
3. Select your gif
It works without HTC Sense

[Q] Animated GIF Player?

I got an animated GIF of an Android beating on an Apple with a bat but it runs like crap through the gallery app preinstalled on the Captivate (at about 1fps). The Irony, is that the IP4 plays it perfectly. It looks like an issue with the Gallery app as it played fine on other androids on their built in photo viewer. Is there a setting to make it play better, or a better app to do it?
Thank you

Can we use .swf (flash) wallpapers on our I9000 ?

Hello all- Does anyone know if there is a way we can use flash (.swf) wallpapers on our homescreen on the I9000 ?
I do not mean the lockscreen but the next screen (I use no lock anyway).
If we can use live wallpapers such as WP clock which tell time, I imagine there must be a conversion tool which can convert .swf files into whichever file live wallpapers are ??
Does anyone know ?
I do have some amazing flash wallpapers which contain some gorgeous clocks and it's a shame if we cant use them on this great mobile.
Cheers, LL-
Not so sure....
Trying to open a swf file, I get a pop-up telling that "File type swf not found"
highly doubt so, live wallpaper is an .apk, it's an application itself, natively Android doesn't support .swf file as live wallpaper, unless some developer out there manage to capture the swf, convert it and create a new .apk on the fly within the mobile, but I didn't see such an application so far.
OK Cheers for that guys.
I managed to open an .swf file in "my files" and it shows up but the clock portion of the wallpaper does not keep time, just a mish mash of lines instead of the time itself.
Cheers again, LL13-

Video artists and hobbyists

I have an app with over 200 looping videos which can be used as a live wallpaper with the Video Live Wallpaper app.
I made most of the videos myself.
Now my question is, would anybody be interested in making some looping videos? I've seen some excellent bootanimations that would look great as a live wallpaper. And it would be nice to share your stuff with a wider audience.
If anybody is interested, let me know. I have my own server for my app and all videos are hosted on the server.
I have attached the free version of my app. (You'll also need Video Live Wallpaper, available free in the Playstore, or any other app that can set a video as live wallpaper).
