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.

yes I've used all these and many more many times over including the cool ones that dont work due to incompatible resolutions like vr tunnel, seeds of life, circuit board, pano planet earth rot ect...you have to work your mojo to get them to stick and they often wont stick forever (just turning off your screen will cause many of these to revert back to your last static wallpaper) but they can be made to stick long enough to impress your friends. the ONLY live wallpaper I've tried that absolutely will not work is Silhouette. It does a funky split screen stuff that just wont behave no matter what. none of the samsung ports have ever worked on my phone either.
Thanks! Got some of these installed! Anyone else? Some really good ones there!
Marc
I was wondering if any of the aquarium LWP's worked. I tried the two aniPET ones, and they don't work, but the idea of having a virtual fish tank on your screen is kind of cool =]
Oh, and this one works too. Its the one I'm using right now. SMB FTW!

Edit: just installed the New York Giants one from WebApse. I don't know if the other one worked (from SilentDesign I think), but this one does. Even though the Giants have been done since week 17...still gotta love it =]
Can anyone tell me where I can get these and how I install them ?

first phone must be rooted and loaded with a rom that support live wallpapers (most froyo and eclair roms at this point). All the ones I listed are directly from the android market and most free.
It seems hit or miss which work and which don't some of those on the list didn't want to work on my phone.
Peace

some may have been updated to higher resolution, unsupported openGL (beautiful widgets weather for one) but for the most part all should work. I'm curious to which ones on the list didn't work for you.
thanks for this list. been hit and miss for which ones work on my rom. but good resource.
any that have updated to OpenGL ES wont work or wont work well:
Beautiful Widgets (old works great but if you dont have it backed up cant get it)
Nexxus Revamped (same. old works great, new is OpenGL ES)
list will probably get larger. do NOT do update if you see the update includes OpenGL ES (both the above describe in update description).

I second this. It would be a great addition to my gallery and a nice change.
Hey guys! I recently competed in Round II of the "Last Call for Google IO" challenge for Android which had us develop an Android version of the HTML5 countdown clock that is on the Google IO Homepage:
http://www.google.com/events/io/2011/
I threw it on my G-Tab when I was done developing it and I liked it so much I thought I'd create a live wallpaper from it, but change it from a countdown to Google IO to just displaying the system clock.
Trying to get a feel for how many people would actually use it. I've attached the standalone app I created so you can try it out.
Please let me know what you think!! Thanks,
-teleK
It's interesting, but would like to see more options on it.

I made that in 9 hours for the challenge. I barely finished let alone had time to add any options.
The Live Wallpaper will have options.
I like it! Good work!
Id rock this if it were available in a full live wall paper

It would be an awesome lock screen wall paper..
Different colored balls maybe, amount of balls, maybe you can even add in different types of balls for a paid version? Like for sports fans- they can choose a baseball or basketball etc...If thats even possible LOL
Pretty cool. Some options I'd like to see:
1. Ability to change balls (color, size, shape)
2. Ability to change physics (gravity control, bounce speed)
3. Ability to interact with bouncing balls (move finger and cause them to change as if I actually bumped them)
4. Location on screen for date/time
5. If possible, have the balls interact with the icons/widgets on the screen - bounce between around as if they were real objects
Sorry for the Delay
Sadly I was not one of the 10 Android winners for the contest. However, I have finished turning my submission into a Live Wallpaper with the system clock and stuck it on the market.
I'm very happy with it so far but this is only the beginning. I plan to add accelerometer support, and a couple settings options as one of the other posters requested.
And who knows, if it sells well enough maybe I can afford to buy an I/O ticket from someone on eBay. So.... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? Go buy my app and try it out!!!

Hello folks,
I've been looking around for a couple of games for the Nook STR. I've got several "slow movement" games to run properly: sudoku, reversi and gobandroid.
Is there any other recommended game? A RPG maybe? Maybe card games?
One Word - Samurai II.
[ Joking - sorry =( ]
Stop the spamming of the NOOK COLOR Themes and Apps forum.
There are areas for deviceces without own forum.

I don't agree... The Nook clearly deserves a forum more than most of the devices that have been crowded into those other forums. Not only that, the Nook is pretty much a Nook Color under the hood =\, so optimizations in the Nook Color could possibly be brought over if the devs or future devs are made more aware of what's going on with it.
Besides... Every Nook Touch topic i've seen is labeled with [N2E] not to hard to avoid =|
Chess works great! It is almost as if it were meant for it all along. I am surprised frankly that B&N didn't bundle a few little board game apps on the Nook2 in the first place.
Also, Akinator (guessing game) works as well.
Tic tac toe!
Tic tac toe works with a friend using Freenote!
Okay, the Nook running Freenote only serves as scratch paper to play the game, but nevertheless it worked.
alchemie with textmode and tap to combine is playable too
The sudoku app Andoku Sudoku ( com.googlecode.andoku ) has fairly little flickering.
Has anyone found a sudoku app that is even better suited for the Nook eink screen?
Please name specific apps (not just types of apps). There are a whole lot of chess apps so getting details on one that runs well on Nook saves time.
This is the chess I tired:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.chess
Games working on my Nook Touch:
Crimson Fields
Andoku
Four in a Row HD
Find it on the market
Tried some, but most of them has some level of ghosting:
Working so far:
- Klondike
- Reversi free
- Nemo picross
- GObandroid (to play Go! - very good)
- Super Sudoku
- Klondike free
- Dark nova (used to love Space Trader on my old Treo)
Still looking for a viable RPG - I guess Eye of the Beholder ou Bard's Tale style would work.
andoku
I have andoku running, but cannot access the check puzzle feature. Suggestion?
Never mind ..went to andoku 2. Works fine
Nethack and the Slashem variant are both great for the nook! Maybe its a little to retro for some but IMO you can't beat a classic like nethack. There's your rpg
tried nethack, but the screen was too darn small. Will try slash'em!!! Thanks
Here are some other great games:
Slitherlink.
Curvy (For two colored puzzles you have to set the second color to the middle between white and black).
Droid Fish. One oft the best chess engines with a very nice sleek design, perfect for the touch. Cuckoo engine with very low setting is great for kids learning chess - it makes a lot of mistakes
Shift. Black and White! Sadly almost unplayable without multitouch. Edit: Search for v1.2, works great and is maybe the only platform game working on STR
Search for "Simon Tatham's Puzzles" in Market. It is great.
tried nethack, but the screen was too darn small.

@apeine: Map volume up/down to sidebuttons --> zoom in and out
Thanks for the tip, gogolo2. Will try that! My buttons are already mapped.
Does anybody know where I can download FALLEN REALMS? It is a free app, but I couldn't download it through market, even though it is an android 2.1 version app. Tried all non-official download sites, but almost all of them lead me back to android market, and looking for "fallen realms apk" took me to almost 35 sites that I couldn't get anything at all.

Why not download it on your phone then back it up... and side load it to the nook.
Are you comfortable in your own skin? Is your phone comfortable in its skin? Rate this thread to express how you deem the skin on the LG V20. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it adds just the right amount of features, it's visually pleasing, and overall it's additive to the experience. If this is a Nexus phone (you didn't think we hand-wrote all of these prompts, did you?) then use this rating to indicate how the latest version of Android looks to you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I love LGs take on Android. I see some room for improvement but I'd rate it 7 out of 10.
I moved from a rooted G3 and immediately missed the Google Now launcher, so I threw that on. I should probably give LGs skin a shot before I change over completely.
I didn't much care for the LG skin. Then again, I was stymied by the lack of an app drawer which I now know is a setting adjustment away. I'm using the Pixel launcher now. I'm more comfortable with that having been a Google Now launcher user.

How do you like the Pixel Launcher? I had to go with Google Now launcher (coming from a N-6P). Wanting to try something else though...
I give an 8/10 to the themes. I Wish they have done at least about 200+ themes before actually adding that to the setting. Then again,,,, it is better than nothing. Think about it as a CM theme store but very limited (probably "yet") maybe after a couple of weeks they allow others to create new themes, or they themselves do a couple of 100+ more

I miss the cards page. You can get it by tapping the "G" twice. Accessing the app drawer means tapping a carat near the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, it's the same as Google Now.
I'm intrigued by the Google Assistant available on the Pixel. I trying to cobble together bits and pieces of it. If we can get root and access to build.prop, we can get most of that feature.

So I actually have the cards page on my V20. I just went with the Google Now launcher. And in terms of the assistant, I downloaded ALLO & it has G Assistant built in now. Or at least a "preview version" of it. It is pretty awesome too!!!
(I realize that taking a clip of the cards page doesn't show that it is an actual page of my "home screens" but it is all the way to the left like it is on Google Android N.)

I did the best I could to take a screen shot of how I have the Cards page all the way to the left of my home screens like on clean Android N...
3 themes!?!?!?!? Cmon man.
Ok, on the stock launcher is there anyway to change the grid size? Its an option to change it in the "regular" home but not the "home and app drawer"
Just got my V20 and I'm trying to give it a review.. Definitely a step up from the G4 G5 and V10.. Probably the best they've done.. The user interface is no longer cartoonish and has a much more sophisticated look to it.. The phone itself feels sturdy but still sleek. It went through 60,000 qc tests and it was also given a high military grade for strength.. They moved the volume buttons back to the side and I'm having a lot of trouble adjusting. The rear button design was perfect and genus.. They took away a couple of apps I really preferred, but they're take on what Google is wanting these manufacturers to start putting out, is awesome. It's the closest they've come to perfecting a blend of Lg originality with Google's streamlined material design. So far I'm very impressed. The Quad Dac damn near blows my speakers out in my Mercedes which has a Harmon Kardon surround system. Think about that, a phone blowing out a top of the line surround system.. Crazy to think how far we've come since Nokia. The camera I'll play with as the days come, but the only thing I don't like about the ui is it could use a tad bit more color and the notification menu could use a little contrast for separating cards.. Also where did smart notice and their stock calculator go. The LG calculator had an option to review history which I used frequently. Overall I'm pretty pleased having had every flagship of theirs excluding the G5..
New to LG. My first phone with lg is this v20.
The OEM skin needs a lot of work. I'm getting used to it.
I was going to slap on Nova but I'm sticking out. Thus far not bad.
Options for app drawer are in setting (initially I was not too thrilled with no app drawer and having apps on the main screen, that is apple boring)
There's no posting for DAC. But I'm very impressed. The earlier poster mentioned how the Mercedes speaks got blown, I have to check it out on my car stereo, I'm still using BT.
Over all loving the functioning of the phone.
Coming from note series, I do miss the stylus.
OEM has a screen shot app I just wish it was more versatile like the note 4 series stylus with cropping and drawing and sharing. With the OEM screen shot it seems there's multiple steps in getting the shot then cropping and then writing on it and then sharing it. Maybe I'll have up get use to the steps.

if you were looking for more themes and customization, just use the lg smart world app. should be able to download it on your phone via the browser.

I thought it was awful, too. Then I found the Capture+. It's great. Works very, very well. It's in the pull down, or can be added to the home buttons or second screen in display options. Play with it for a few minutes
No bad ****er
I've always preferred Stock UI over OEM Skins, especially Touch Wizz or Sense UI, and i would never get a chinese phone such as Huawei or XiaoMi just for their Chinese iOS looking version of Android they design... So i'm pretty much happy with LG UI, installed Nova Launcher to get a more "next to stock" experience. Love the theme engine and Bencze Themes, theming is much more complete than Xperia's themes for instance.
