I'm looking into it, a screensaver kinda thing.

Think of the possiblities,
Instead of fish you could do human figures in various states of undress depending on the status of the monitored process,
For the prudent or prude you could create an inverse process!
For the medical types you could have hospital beds with patients in various states of health,
For Christmas you could have santa coming closer and closer or getting bigger and bigger depending on status...
The possibility's are infinite!!!!!!

As i mentioned i'm working on a X1 fishpanel lock-app kinda thing for VGA.
But graphics aint my thing.

I have no idea what this panel is about... Can someone post a link pls? Google doesn't know the "fish panel Xperia" words.
I would like to know what the fuss is about and perhaps see if I can do something about it (graphicwise).

Shake phone to add food, cool aint it?. Xperia is never gonna get it since SE skipped the motion sensor.
Light sensor sensetive fish? colorchanging perhaps, or a day and night graphics feature effect.
And the water HAS to be motion sensetive aswell, im thinking about the beerapp.

Check out these video reviews for details on the fish panel:

http://www.gaj-it.com/2143/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1-launched-at-tent-london/
Basically here is a portion of a description from the last review:
"The best panel by far on the Xperia X1 was a panel of 1 black and 2 orange fish that would excitedly swim to wherever you placed your stylus on the screen. Sounds pretty basic and boring, but each fish did have a purpose. If the sound was muted, one of the orange fish would turn clear. If your battery’s getting low, one of the fish starts to turn red, and if you miss a call another fish will turn yellow . While at first the sound of an aquarium in your phone sounds like a waste of an application, the fish do allow you to guage your phone’s settings with just a quick glance at your “aquarium”. If you for some reason really don’t like fish, just give them a tap and they will go nuts."

i want this program 2
a program like this, with the future build in to unlock your phone???

Actually the fish function like this:
place a finger/stylus to the screen and keep it there -> the fish come to it
tap a fish -> it swims away (I know, animal cruelty..)
black fish -> turns to red when battery below 10% (too late to my liking)
skinny orange fish -> turns silver when sound is on mute/vibrate
fat orange fish -> turns to gold when there's an unread message (email or sms/mms)
clown fish -> appears when there's an unanswered call
..the fish have been individually named in the manual also: Japanese style names, like Ryumi etc..
They are actually very cool to show off, in a gimmicky sort of way. Too bad there's no way to alter their behaviour; for example the battery fish could have a broader spectrum of colors (gradually from black to clear/white for example).

When i realese (read if), i will use 3d models, this graphics is just placeholders for now.

Haha, very nice indeed I like them...

so how close are ya?

haha it's a start, keep developing!

I really hope something comes of this. I think it would be great to have a screen saver / locking app that had this ability. Has anyone posted the idea inn the diamond or general software forums?

me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very nice. it would be great to have such screen saver on the raphael.

hahaha amazing start. i would post up in the dev. forums too (more traffic more help lol more recognition)

[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.

3d droid

Hi.
I'm modeling 3d Android for one website, so I'll like to share with you my current progress; this is not finished model: I have to change hands (I don't like them as they are now), make legs, and add some more details. I have just posed what I have till now in to some quick pose and make quick render, to better see how it looks, and what to change.
I the end, this will be animated character and it will be used for banners, logo, icons, animated intro for videos, and some wallpapers and maybe even for theme for mobile phones.

I'm modeling this in 3d studio max.
And here is one more small update; I have remodeled hands, so that now I have more wide range of movement with them.

Awesome work, the first face looks better in my opinion, but the second is more original.

I also prefer the darker face. There is more contrast and makes the eyes stand out more. Also looks happier. Good details there. It is very difficult to make "green skin" look good at best of times!

Tnx guys for comments.
Face is still something I haven't decide yet what to do about it; I'll have to make some tests with expressions to see what will work best.
Now, I have to make legs; i'm thinking about making them somewhat similar to hands, but I'll put wheels on them (they will be mostly hidden; there will be a gap like for hands, where wheel will come out), so that he will basically role around; i thing that he will look cooler that way.

Wet yourself with what???HUH!!!

Here is one more update; I still have some things to do, but is getting some final form.

Looks pretty sick, but I must say, when the legs are on their own, well.....

Last Call for Google IO Submission

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

Thanks, glad you like it! I will upgrade to Live Wallpaper some time this week and send you a link to download

Cool beans! Thanks, I would love to have this as a live wallpaper too!

Great, thanks!!
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!!!
