Live wallpaper apk generator - Nexus One Themes and Apps

I wonder if it is possible to make a program that would generate a live wallpaper apk? all you have to do is supply the animation of your choice and it will generate the apk to install. I know there is live wallpapers in the market; however to make your own to your liking is extremely hard from what I researched. just an idea.

I would love that!

I think after viewing the document for how to make a live wallpaper its kind of very hard..

I wish they would translate it so that most people could at least attempt to make one.

This idea is very nice..to bad the thread died...

What kind of animation would you supply?

Could somebody supply the source code of a live wallpaper so i could have a go at it with eclipse? (Not the one with sdk)
Thanks

REQ: Matrix code

Hey guys/girls,
Ages, I tell ya. Ages!
Been looking for realistic animated code wallpaper for my HD2 for so long now.
I know it must exist but I just can't find it, or at least a animated code wallpaper that doesn't look ghetto.
Can anyone help, point me in the right direction, or put one together? I'd pay for the latter to save myself plugging away online any longer.
Please and thanks!

No-one has yet discovered how to create animated wallpapers for the HD2 (or they've not told anyone, if they have!)
The ones that you have seens have simply been the stock animated wallpapers with the images changes. The actual movement has been exactly the same. Someone did one that they called a "matrix style" wallpaper, but it unfortunately looked nothing like the matrix rain.
Until we know how to code the animated wallpapers, you're not going to get this unless you use a UI that allows animated gifs as wallpaper.
I would love a full sized animated wallpaper. I must say I love wallpaper. I really dont like all the icons on the HD2. I use Spb Shell and keep the main screen free of icons. It's just like Android.

Lockscreen Wallpaper Collection

I'm not a good developer. I wish I could contribute in that respect. But I made a few wallpapers so I thought I could share this with you guys.
BTW, can anyone point me to a good lockscreen/wallpaper rotation app (my idea is to get a bunch of lockscreens and rotate them every time i turn on the phone)
edit: looks like the Hardy png I submitted got converted to .jpg, which looks horrible. Here's the better version of it on ImageShack:
You will need to add a http before the thing I'm about to post because new users aren't allowed to post links.

Hi again. Here's the rest of them. Had to wait 5 minutes and post twice to get around the max 8 attachments They're all formatted so that they don't get blocked by the default SenseUI lock info bar. If you guys have a clear lockscreen for 2.1 ROMs (mainly DamageControl... does it matter them ROM, Android version, or base?)
If anyone is wondering, I just did this real quick in Photoshop - first find an image with vertical appeal (rotation is an option to achieve this), scale the height down to 455 pixels (image size), then crop the width (canvas size) to 320 pixels. Easy peasy.
Here is one I created. Enjoy

Edit: I can change the background color if someone wants.

you can use lockbot, just load your images onto lockbot and then you can have your lockscreen wallpapers plus either iphone, eclair, flan, type slider. and then you will see a new one everytime you unlock your phone. its doesnt always work for me lol. but it does most of the time.
awesome. thanks, both of you.
I have just been using photos I put on my phone for background and lockscreens.....
Is there any easy way to recover a lockbot wallpaper from a nandroid backup I made before wiping and reflashing to DC? I obviously don't need Lockbot anymore now that I have the Eclair lockscreen, but I really miss the cool lockscreen glowing-droid image I used to have.
I guess I could reinstall Lockbot & redownload the wallpaper since it's still in my market list as a purchased app, but where would the wallpaper image itself be stored? Also, if anyone knows, are Android apps all totally self-contained universes, or could Lockbot screw up my now nicely-running phone in ways that would persist after uninstalling it (kind of like how you can smoke a brand new copy of Vista badly enough to need reinstallation by trying to install a 10 year old copy-protected game)?
The wallpaper should be on your SD card under .lockbot. That is where all themes are stored.
This is gonna turn into another porn thread shortly.
I absolutely love the calvin and hobbes one from the first post. absolutely beautiful
Thanks op. Nice pictures. I like A most.
OK, so I switched to Lockbot and now I don't need to raise the pictures so high anymore. I remade the ones that are now too high and attached them. I also made a Flan-style theme in Lockbot called "MiniFlan" that's designed to show off wallpapers more than tell the time (the clock and date are really small). Attached is a preview of what it looks like. You can download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YJ8IFWLE
Note: This theme contains a crapload of lockscreen pictures too. If you want to get just the lockscreens but not the theme, download the theme and look in the "bg" folder. You'll find almost all of the lockscreens I use right now. There are 69 of them and I love them all.
Err you know what, Lockbot is really not playing nice with my phone. I think I'll uninstall it soon.
Here are a few I collected around the web. Some are common ones but a few are unusual. I have quite a few more.
Let me know if you want anymore out of my collection.

Widgets animated gif?

So I made my Homescreen too look like WP7 but I was wondering is there a way to have animated gif widgets?
Have a look at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html if you have no experience making widgets. It's possible to make one that's animated by breaking the gif apart and making the widget one big ImageView that's constantly being updated with the new frames, but it might have adverse effects on your battery. I don't think it'll animate on it's own if you simply supply a gif as the drawable for the imageview.
aww man I think making widgets is way beyond my scope I would definitely try it maybe I just got into the whole rooting and flashing roms like a week ago =P but thank you for the reply
No problem, dude. Check out a book called 'Professional Android 2 Application Development' by Rito Meier if you want to take a crack at developing android apps. It's a pretty good book and goes over most of the "fun" stuff (includes widgets, live wallpapers), as well as the basics. You should probably read some Java tutorials beforehand if you've never done any sort of programming, since the book kind of assumes you know that. Good luck!

Dark Pie-UI

Would be great if someone can come up with a zip file for this....so that we can just flash it
I don't asking for the whole theme in a package for myself but I'm searching for the wallpaper correctly sized for the GNote. I've seen on mycolorscreen someone who shown the theme on GNote (as I'm a new member I cannot post outside link but the name of the theme on the website is dark-pie-ui-for-galaxy-note), but I can't find the wallpaper on the web. I'm pretty sure there is more than one person on the world who have done the resize correctly.
I've tried on Photoshop to do the trick, but it's looks ugly and/or not in place to fit the widget location on top... I'm nearly begging you to help to find this awesome wallpaper. I already ask the guy on myscreencolor via comment but I'm note sure his gonna see ...

[Q] How do I find and edit a live wallpaper .apk?

I've located the ASUS MyWater live wallpaper and I want to edit it to look like bourbon instead of water. Can any of you offer advice on opening the .apk and making the necessary changes?
Or, if you're interested, feel free to do it and post it if you think you can do a better job. I'm good with directions but I'm still just a novice.
Thanks in advance
