This is my first android active opengl 3D wallpaper. Its tilt sensitive and when you touch the wallpaper it causes a ripple effect in the blocks. I have some options to remove the random z axis movement and two different block textures.
I’ve only tested it on my nexus one, and I’m looking for feedback(ideas) and how it runs on other active wallpaper enabled devices.
Thank for trying it out.

Version update 3.2.3
Added grid rebuild effect when wallpaper comes back in view. Can also be disabled in settings.
Reduced app size, project cleanup and changed some textures to jpgs.
Version update 3.2.2
More work on gallery image selection and the image is now better aligned with texture.
More work on movement code, hoping this corrects the grid position errors
Version update 3.2.1
Rebuilt with target OS 2.1 and lowered texture size to help reduce FC's.
Latest version 3.2.
- Added gallery image clipping, to better size image to grid.
- Uploaded app to market.
Features and effects for version 3.1
- Sticky finger effect (item can stick to your finger and fall back down)
- Disable accelerometer option, saves on battery
- Optimized touch selection.
- Made changes to gallery image loading. Reduced memory footprint and better scaling. (still in work)
- Homescreen page position now tilts the grid.
- Worked on landscape mode. (still in work)
- New preference settings.

Why it asks permissions for Storage and Phone calls?
I have installed it on my HTC Desire and it seems to be working fine.
obvious question is... how's the batterly life since it uses the sensors?

I'm looking into why its wanting those permissions, because the only one I use is ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER for object selection screen buffer writing.
Also I'm working on custom texture selection, which gives you the abillity to use any picture for the textures.
As for battery life, my wallpaper stops running when its not in view so that should help battery life.
Version 3 updated, many new features and effects, see first post for details.
Added video preview see first post for link.
Looks very nice.
cool idea, but it needs higher quality images to start. maybe some additional settings to tweak the users experience?
Looks cool. going to give it a try.
How to remove this??????
for my dext it's tooooo heavy
can't find any way.. hmmm
edit.
es file xplorer can't find it but standard app remover yes... sorry (however nice app )
So I downloaded the app for my HTC Desire and sent it to me through mail. I installed the app and it said that it was installed. But I can't seem to find the app anywhere in my app list, anyone knows why?
I tried this out, it seems to be pretty cool, but on the Droid X it seems to tile images. Maybe it is set to work with a certain pixel size image and tiles them if they are over that size?
You can remove this when you go to settings --> Aplications --> Manage applications --> All
it should be in that list

It's a live wallpaper, not an app. You set it as a wallpaper. That's why the thread starts with [Live Wallpaper]
Hehe.
Very cool. Woul love to pick an album, rather than just a single picture from my gallery. Perhaps picking a set number of pics would be ok, also.
lwp
I have never had a problem installing apps before, some reason with this i get an error saying that no app can be found to install it. Any ideas?
im a noob to all of this.. what steps need to be taken to get this onto your device? galexy s, vibrant to be exact
Its a cool live wallpaper its just makes my nexus choppy as hell, also I dont like the fact when you restart your phone and have a custom image the screen comes back on all white. Otherwise its pretty damn cool.
Very nice concept mate, works flawlessly on my SGS
I have just published a new live wallpaper called Node Battle.
https://market.android.com/details?id=rolf.livewallpaper.nodebattlefree
This is freeware version with no settings to set. It's pretty nice even without it, but if you get paid version, you get settings which makes it much more flexible on what you can do with it.
Known bugs, once a while when newly installed it doesn't show any nodes. Best way to fix it is change to other live wallpaper then back to this. May take few live wallpaper changes to turn it on. Still currently researching why.

Closed, read why

I want to introduce my new image editor bevore I will release it on F-Droid and Play Store. The app is fully Open Source. And needs no unnecessary permissions (only write on storage to save the edited pictures). It's lightweight (< 5 mb), clean, easy to use and nice looking.
Features:
adjustments: brightness, gamma, saturation, ...
filter: sepia, monochrome, invert, poster, comic, ...
add text: add, resize and rote text
crop: crop, rotate or flip the image
Privacy:
permissions: only "read and write on sd-card"
dependencies: no Google dependencies
sending user data: no user data will be collected and send to any other servers.
"FOSS Image Editor" doesn't have permission to use the internet
To achieve this, I'm using several libraries (see in the About --> license dialog). I will only add new features, when it doesn't make to much trouble. In the best case there's a library to achieve the implementation of new features. So please test "FOSS Image Editor" and give your feedback. The Open Source Community is depending on users, who share their experience.
Changelog:
### v 0.3:
- new: custom crop
- new: hide app icon from launcher
### v 0.2:
- new: warning when overwriting original image
- new: changelog and license file on Github
- updated: help dialog
- improved: quality of saved pictures
- fix: remain original file extension
Regards
Gaukler Faun

Here are some screenshots:
Thank you. This is indeed simple, clean, and very useful.
Would you consider supporting PNG ? Now they can be read and imported, but the output of the edited image is JPG.

Thanks for the feedback. At the moment I'm on vacation, but I will look when I'm back home.:highfive:
Warning - critical bug:
If you save a picture at the moment, it will be saved only in low resolution. So don't overwrite your original pictures. I'm on vacation so it will take a while until I can look into the issue. I updated the OP.
Some of my holiday pictures have now a size of ~ 150 kb. Therefore they had a size > 2 mb.
Update v 0.2
The saving issue is now solved. Thanks for your patience. Download in the first post.
Changelog v 0.2:
- new: warning when overwriting original image
- new: changelog and license file on Github
- updated: help dialog
- improved: quality of saved pictures
- fix: remain original file extension

It seems, that the image you want to open isn't scanned by the media scanner. Here a few questions:
This happens always, when you try to load an image via the build in menu?
With every image?
Dies it also happen, when you "share" the same picture to the editor?
Does rebooting the phone solve the issue?

Thanks for the quick reply. So, answering every question.
# Yes, always, any image, jpg and png, any path, opening from the menu.
# Yes, also shared from another application, file manager or image viewer.
# Working with the smartphone and it's my internet connection right now with hotspot for several devices, so I can't restart it. I triggered just a media provider restart if that was the purpose of your question, but did not change anything.
Edit : There's one one way it will not crash. If I pick using Android's default file picker ( the one part of the OS, DocumentsUI ), then it works.
Edit 2 : It works with Ghost Commander, too. So I guess it works depending on the application. Problems with FX file manager for instance and Simple Mobile's Gallery.
Feature request: Could you add a freeform draw option? It would really come in handy.
Thanks

That's strange I've no of this issues on my side. I also use Simple Mobile's Gallery. I'm on OREO.
Is anyone else facing this issue?

I just tried it several, but had no luck. I'll try it again, but not in the near future.

When sharing from Simple Mobile's Gallery ( any image, any path ) there is no crash but I always get a 'Could not load image' error in the editor. In the log I only see this :
Code:
System.err
at de.aosd.fossimageeditor.MainActivity.handleImage(MainActivity.java:367)
... I tried with Android 8.1 and 7.1.2. Anyway, the editor itself works fine. I wouldn't worry about supporting every possible file manager and gallery application out there.
Could 2:3 / 3:2 ratio be added to the crop options ?
Or alternatively / in addition, be able to specify pixels in width and height ourselves, maybe. With the free option is guesswork now.

At the moment I'm working on my browser. But the alternative suggestion sounds good. I'll implement it. At Monday school starts again (with a lot to do and the next vacation will be at Christmas). So if I forget it, please remind me.

Yes, I follow progress on that too. Thank you for considering it ! I'll try to remember it myself, make a note somewhere to check around Christmas.
Edit, January 20th : I guess this last post became the reminder note.

Thank you for this version. I have been testing and see two issues consistently repeating.
# The cropped images are degraded, noticeably, in quality, compared to the originals. ( Is this the same bug that happened on an older version, maybe ? )
# The crop specifying values doesn't really respect the values given. I try, say a fixed 720 pixels cut for instance, but get 913 pixels ( or some other random number ) in the exported crop.
I've tested both jpg and png.
Hi, some questions:
Is It possible
- determine jpg compression rate when saving an an image?
- determine wether to keep/change/delete EXIF-data when saving an image?
