[REQUEST] Cyanogen Pin Toy Live Wallpaper - Nexus One Themes and Apps

Okay, so I'll try to explain this the best I can. I think it would be cool if a live wallpaper dev could make the standard cm 'nexus' LW into a pin toy type display. For explanation purposes lets say the squares get brighter up to the part of the letter, are brightest at the letter itself and then go dimmer away from the letter. if you Google 'PIN TOY' you'll know what I'm talking about. So basically you wouldn't see a 'lead' square going across the screen but instead you would only see the trail up to the part or 'square' of the letter and then a trail for a few squares going away. I thought this would be cool if we could make the word Cyanogen or maybe just cyan or something... anyways do you think we could make this happen?

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.

Official Tennis Rolex Analogue Clock

I need some help here....
I hope I can get the Official Grand Slam Tennis Rolex Analogue clock for the Cookie Monsters 1.7.x mod. I love watching tennis and one of the things I see and like is the official Rolex clock/timer. It has the analogue Rolex clock as well as the ROLEX name placed between the 2 Logos below the clock. On the right side you find the Digital Clock to show the time elapsed for the match being shown.
I am hoping that someone could please make that same clock for me either exactly as it is perhaps with Digital part being for stop-watch or on the right it can display the weather condition.
Unfortunately I have been unable to trace a wallpaper or high res image of the exact same clock but I hope that the clock modifiers here might be having something similar. I have attached a website screenshot showing the clock which is very close to the actual clock/timer in Rolex sponsored Tennis tournments especially the Grand Slams. An image of the Clock at a tennis court is also attached.
Thanking you in advance......
Anybody who can help
What exactly do you need... the watch only (dial plus gold bezel) or the green housing around, too?
The clock alone (again, dial plus bezel only) takes little time, plus the green housing a little more...
As a sample, the easy mix...

I will do both versions then... you will have the choice, as with the whole housing, the clock itself will be quite a bit smaller...
Will post the result soon!

Here we go...
A "full" version of the Rolex Tenniswatch.
It is done for Cookiemonsters Home Tab 1.7.
To install, just copy the cab to your HD2 and run it, then soft reset.
As the clock layout brings offset positions for the dials, please note that the file which contains
those positions is replaced too. Please also see my comment below how to go back to the original
layout and clock.
*IMPORTANT*: To uninstall, please use the attached cab which will restore the original analog
clock from Cookiemonsters Home Tab including the original position of the dials!

Thank you very much for the Tennis Rolex clock. I already installed it and enjoying.
Is it possible to adjust the clock so that the top part does not protrude above the background that contains the clock and the weather. Similarly there is a big gap on the left side which shows a blank area which I believe would be better if occupied by the clock. What about the Second hand? Is it possible to have it. And finally maybe we can consider the clock hands to be a different colour - Golden maybe or even red......
Edit...... I attach the screenshot for easier understading of the clock that I wish can be moved a bit to the left and also a little lower so that it can align or look better with the box for clock and weather. Thank you. Tic Tac or is it Tik Tok ......
For some reason screenshot cant upload. Dont know why. Will try later

Well, I just kept the clock as close as possible (and resonable) to the outdoor picture in your opening post... no seconds hand there, but of course, it can be added without huge effort. And, the color of the hands can also be changed quite easily, too.
Since the overall design of the clock is not really an exact square (the original layout is 256 x 256 pixels), some space (at the left and right side) is actually transparent.
Any modification of the positioning will take a little bit longer as the offset of the hands requires some changes in the coordinates of the layout file.
A picture to show what your exact requests are would definitely be helpful, even though I can indeed imagine what you mean, but I may be wrong...

Indeed you made the clock exactly as I wanted. What I mean is the positioning of the clock in the homescreen once it is installed. I was just wondering if there is a way it can be pushed a little to the left and slightly lower for better alignment. I guess you and me are talking of the same thing but I am the problem coz I dont know exactly how the clocks are done.
I have changed the homescreen image format and hope I will now be able to upload...... Here we go
One last request sir...... As you try make the requested features of the clock could you please put some gold on the clock bazel (i believe thats the name for the ring round the clock?). Sorry if I sound greedy but I promise I wont make any more intense and time consuming requests

On real Rolex watches, the crown from the logo is sometimes in gold, too... would you like to have that in gold?
The bezel I took was a picture of a real Rolex spare part... in gold, actually, but I will take care to enhance a bit...
Some waiting time for you is given though. Until the end of it, please enjoy your "beta" version!

No worry, my friend, I am just checking what is possible and what not...
As of now, I know how I can change the size to match your requests, but some more research will show me if more can be done...

Perfect
By the Way TicTac I have this Rolex flash file I wonder if its of any help. The clock, bazel and face could be useful but I have no idea. Please have a look.
Here is the result of some trials.
Unfortunately, there are some hair lines at the border of the clock graphics (above and to the left of the clock, see picture). Will try to get rid of those...
Attached is the cab for this clock. It will only look nice for the analog clock plus weather layout, maybe you can live with the looks of digital/analog/weather combination, too...
The Rolex crown has become golden, there is now a seconds hand.
Again, to uninstall, please use the cab which I added with the first draft a few posts earlier.

Thank you very much. This new one is very close to the real thing. I agree with you if you manage to get rid of the two gaps mentioned it will be much better. Dont know what you can do for the gap between the line separating the clock and the weather. Can the green background and the logo below be extended towards that side? Just a thought.... No pressure sir. Once more, thank you buddy.

[Q] My video for a Homescreen Launcher proposal

I want to create a new launcher and ive been reading the internet for tutorials and been messing with google app inventor but it just hasnt been working out.
im limited to design work and the idea is in my head but i need help with someone who knows how to code. heres a rough draft i did a few minutes ago to show an idea of what i want. theres still a lot of features i want to show but i didnt feel the need to put them all in this little sketch video.
if you like the idea and want to work with me, we can team up, u can message me in my inbox.

Hey, that looks pretty awesome.
Couple of questions though.
1) Is that a widget your intending for the centre of each screen, or is it the only place you can put icons?
2) Is the gap at the top and bottom being reserved for anything?
3) The dock bar at the bottom is showing differant icons on each 'screen'. Intended? Are they screen independant or do differant screens show differant icons?
4) What design reason is that large 'apps' rectangle at the bottom? Is that being filling by something else?

[Q] Simulate screen images?

Greetings-
I couldn't decide weather this belonged in "general" or "Q & A".
Correct me if I am wrong.
This question seems so simple, but I have always wondered how it is done...
How are screen images simulated on advertisements for phones and ROMs?
(Not video commercials, but actual "photos")
For example, a carrier has a poster display of a new phone. The Home screen, apps, etc are all superimposed on the phone on the poster.
Another example are banners/advertisements for ROMs.
Lets take the Virtuous Unity 2.35.0 ROM thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115312
Look at the top banner... none of the phones displayed are shipped with Sense 3.0, yet they all display the Virtuous Unity ROM.
Is it just phone images taken from websites, and screenshots carefully pasted on top in Photoshop? Special attention to resizing and display borders/placement? Or is there another, easier, and more professional looking method?
As I am writing this, I feel so dumb (answer: "duh, photoshop")
But the simulated images always seem so natural looking and perfectly placed!
/rant
Thanks,
[::AP::]
duh, photoshop
At least in 99% of the cases.
You can even catch some big guys ****ing up their photoshop, i.e. "Phone App" on the display of an ipod touch advertisement.
edit:
Haha found it
One could also probably take a screen shot, put it in fullscreen on another phone and photograph it with that.
But that doesn't look as clean and good as a fully photoshopped one .

AHG! I feel so dumb! Lol.
Alright...I just didn't know if there was some fancy alternate method.

And the iPod Touch thing is funny...
The reflection/glare is always the same on their photos...even when lighting angles don't make sense....

Will you Marry me? [APP] Geeky Love

This is inspired by robo4130 geeky way of professing his love for his soon to be wife. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771509
I thought about making an application that does a similar thing, without having to bother about a LWP. Gratz btw robo.
The app has most of the functionality I was going for, but the UI needs a huge revamp.
Current features :
- Add a name to the message
- Add up to four lines showcasing your love
-- Each line is separately added
- Add a personalised message
--Default is 'Will you marry me?' , but this can be changed to 'Will you go out with me?' etc
- Option to add a personalised background
- Set the app to display your message on application startup
If you guys like it, I could add in sounds and UI changes and some wallpapers included in app.
I have narrowed down most bugs, but if you find any, please post here.
I tried to it out on my samsung infuse running cm9. It works well. If i understand the concept a person goes in beforehand and sets it up with their words. Then when you are ready to show it you start the app then press start and the words appear on the screen?
I understand its a basic start but its a good start you have going. I would definitely like to see some ui enhancements and some sound. Maybe even let you pick a chopped mp3 sound. Or include a couple premade sounds that are timed with when the words appear on the screen. And a live wallpaper effect for a background would be neat too.
I did notice that it displayed the text in the upper left part of my screen. Any way to get it centered in the middle?
Good luck and thanks.

Thanks very much.
I will try to make the UI look nicer Inshallah.
Main problem might be sounds. Firstly, I am not experienced with SFX and I have just a faint idea of where to find them copyright free. I found a neat website but I am not sure if it will have the sounds that I'm looking for. I wil probably use specific tracks and not unique effects because they are easier to find.
If anyone has any that I can add, it would be much appreciated.
Secondly, timing I think is crucial. I will try to make it spot on. I would love to hear/see a lovey-dovey song playing in the background while a dude sits on his knees and hands his (soon to be) wife an Android phone with those 4 magic words displayed on the surface
Regarding the text placement.
That is just temporary. So many times before I have made an app and have thought of posting but have always given up due to laziness and my short attention span.
I nearly went to sleep mid way so decided to post as is.
I hope to have 2 options. One. display in the middle. Two. Display it diagonally.
I could also make option to add hearts, roses, chocolates etc. Anything that raises the odds of getting the right answer
