Have spent a bit more time working on Live Wallpapers, and the newest one pulls your album art and shows it on the home screen, a bit like the screensaver OS X comes with.
Features:
* Accesses your Android album art library (if you see it in Music Player, you see it here...)
* Shuffle feature
* Compatible with LauncherPro
* Very fast (approx 0.5 seconds on first load)
* Smooth scrolling between screens
* Periodically changes individual covers
* Opaque setting to make pale text easier to read.
Update:
Thanks to the team of beta testers who did a great job helping me identify bugs and implement a few new features. The Album Art Live Wallpaper is now released to the Market for 99p, and a demo is also available for free.

Album Art Live Wallpaper
Album Art Live Wallpaper (Demo)
Free copies:
If you encounter a serious problem in the demo (for example, it won't load on your phone) and you work with me to fix it by sending a log entry etc, you get to keep a free copy. ;-)
Update v1.1 (16/07/10):
Just uploaded version 1.1 to the Market. Amongst other fixes this addresses an issue where incomplete album art collections resulted in a large number of grey Android tiles (missing artwork) showing on the home screen. The app will now make 10 attempts to find a replacement tile before giving up and moving on.
Update v1.2 (19/07/10):
Various bug fixes; possible solution for Droid users ("Use internal storage" option), greyscale rendering.
Download the demo below or on the Android Market. It's only 99p and took a huge amount of time and effort to get to this point, so if you like it, please buy it!
It looks snazzy enough, I wouldn't mind being a beta tester.
I would really like to try this out. I put a lot of music on my phone to listen to frequently.
wouldn't mind being a beta tester for you if you need anymore.
I would love to help test as well.
I'm in to be a beta tester for this awesome project.
an option to specify a folder from gallery will be awesome too.
PM'ed you mate

Sign me up! I love my music, and I would love seeing it everywhere else!
This is why i love the zune player on windows, i love seeing the all my album art as the music plays. Great idea!
sign me up looks great!
I'll be a beta tester!!
Still trying to find a 250Gb SD card to fit all my music on
Would love to be a beta!!! Sign me up!!!
only two testers? Let me be no. 3.
errh... waited to long, now I am not no. 3 anymore.
Anyway...
Are you guys just posting here, or pm'ing him? He did specify a pm to let him know. Just checking. Also, let him know about your phone, what kind it is(most likely N1 if you're reading this thread), what rom you're running(which I forgot to do, it's Cyanogen 5.0.8), and what kind of home you have, I'm sure he'd want to see a wide mix of home replacements to see if any of them have any issues.
+1 on picking the folder to display.
count me in this looks nice
I'm down for whatever...count me in.

also another idea would be to have this
as a background to the waveform live wallpaper
that would be sick when listening to music :]

Here's a great video demonstration made by rollercoastervj
Does it work on Android 1.6?
No sorry, only 2.0+ versions...
is this app in the market?
cant seem to find it
For some reason it seems it only can be downloaded from warez sites atm but since it's a beta I don't know if it would be against the rules to post it here???
I'm absolutely loving this app. Thanks OP!
I've been using it for a while and its great!! If this is beta I cant imagine how good the final will be. I bet you browse the same site as me

These are a few gripes I have with the app, the first one being the most important:
When going through the library of artists, once you pick an artist you are taken to all songs by the artist and not to a list of the albums by the artist. Sometimes when pressing the back button, the app closes to the homescreen instead of showing the previous screen. If you're playing a song and are browsing your playlist, album list, etc. there's no quick way to return to the player screen that shows the current song that's playing.

I agree, that's a biggie.
I just upload a video of the app to youtube. It is my first video so dont expect pro stuff Just a video of fingering around with PowerAmp
Thanks for the great video, I learnt a few new things from it
This is definitely the best audio player I've seen on any mobile device, PERIOD!
this is really nice! TFS!
Although the widget could be better..and the home screen of the app could be made simpler but overall this is nice...
definitely nice to have SD folder view!
I winder how it would par with MixZing
Trying it out right now so far loving it good looking out great media player
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
I picked this up and I really like it so far. The ui is great even though there are a few oddities still. When selecting an mp3 from Astro it goes to the player but it doesn't play the file I just selected...the player comes up with the last song that was being played. Still messing with it though and it looks great so far.
i think one feature that would make this a killer music player... that if its possible to restrict musics off one folder (eg. "Music") in the root of SD... this way i dont have to listen to machine gun and other android game sound fx on my media player... veryyy annoying..!!!!
Hi, I'm developing a music quiz for Android and before I launch it in the Android Market I would like to release a public beta for testers and hear some feedback and suggestions from you.
The concept of the game is simple and nothing new. A song plays for 20 seconds and the user has to answer which band or song is playing.

The main difference from the apps that are available in Android Market is that UMQ does not use the music that you have in SD. Instead you can choose to play music from a last.fm username, a artist you love or from one tag available in last.fm. This makes the possibilities of playing UMQ almost infinitive.
The High Scores are powered by ScoreLoop and is Ad supported. The score is the time left.
Known Issues:
- In time when passing from 01 to 00 it takes 2 seconds
- It's only optimized for HVGA (320x480)
- Sometimes appears songs that are not related with the tag, or artist
- If the name as a & sometimes don't appear the text after the &
- Some state buttons images are missing
- In artist game mode sometimes it gets stuck, you have to go back several times to give force close or kill the app
- Some songs appear repeatedly in one game
- The Options button does not work
Each game of UMQ generates about 20MB of data, so it recommended that you use a Wi-fi connection.
All feedback are welcome and appreciated.
Donwload v0.2.3
Hope you like UMQ
Options button doesn't work
Hi!
On my desire hd, the options button doesn't work, when i listen to a song, press the back button, select a new artist, the whole program freezes, and the two songs play on top of each other. Also, when i have played the game for some time, the whole program just hangs and i get a force close message.
Anyway, Greate game!
hi,
i would be happy to test your game i own a htc desire Z.
Ill keep an eye on this thread. If you happen optimize for other resoulutions ill give it a shot.
thoughts
just played one quick game of it (got 13th place on the leaderboard)
fun game. would have liked a little more space between the band names. it ran well though and is a cool concept. especially once i get some more music on my phone i'm going to give it another go.
on a t-mobile g2.

Didnt want to type the whole link into my phone so i tinyurled it to dl it

Hi, I just downloaded your game on my nexus s and after answering a few questions the game crashes and I have to restart it.
Hope this helps!
When I first loaded up the game I chose play, then chose last.fm username and it foreclosed on me. restarted, just picked artist this time, chose snoop dogg, game worked fine but out of the 20 songs it played 2 of them twice and 1 of the three times. And 3 or 4 questions had two of the same answers. Other than that I love the game! great idea!
Edit-Plus I dont know if you have control over this or not, but try to choose a part of the song which doesn't involve the title, if possible.
beta
i will be happy to beta test this app.
original driod with froyo.
thanks
jesse
I'll be glad to test this out. I'll leave a reply later on

Fun! Nice work. I fired it up on my Vibrant and had a couple force closes, but it seems to be running now. I used the username function and artist. Both seemed to work well so far.
Hi, running a gingerbread rom on a Desire and working ok. Flaws seen so far, same potential answer given twice (ie not 3 distinct possibilities) and same song being repeated.Great concept and app though!
Works great on Droid X
will download/try/review tomorrow when i get the chance/time too! sounds good tho!
update: downloaded it and tried it...
1)options buttton DOESNT work at all
2)since I dont really use fm radio or tags or listen to music on my phone I cant seem to start the game...
which is kind of an issue
rooted g2 running stock rom
On my rooted Droid X I noticed that the options button does not funtion as well as exiting the program while in the game does keep the songs playing (kind of annoying). I don't use last fm so I didn't test that part. Also it seems like you'd want to filter out if two options come up that are the same song name. Other than that it works well.
I will test in my Galaxy S
absolutely love the app, a bit of feedback, some sort of notification or feedback for the user between songs to show the app is downloading the next song would b grrat, many times I thought the app crashed. other then that, very nice work, great idea. can't wait for more updates

Hi guys, I want to present you a brand new version of Lapse It written from scratch and now it's NATIVE, you can capture really astonishing time-lapse videos with your device
For those who don't know, Time-Lapse is a photograph technique that is useful when you are trying to capture gradually changing events, such as growing plants, the movement of clouds, or the rising and setting of the sun. When played back at standard frame rates, events occur rapidly onscreen and otherwise undetectable patterns emerge, and that's what Lapse It allows you and your phone to do.
You can download it for free in Android Market, or you can visit our website and have more information at lapseit.com
Features:
• New native version written from scratch
• Powerful rendering engine based on LibAV
• Well designed UI improving visual and usability
• Capture resolution up to 720P on the full version
• Cool effects applied while capturing or before rendering
• Capture timer based on time or frames
• Render as MP4, MOV or FLV
• No restrictions for capture length or frames
• Video trimmer
• Easily adjustable settings
• Upload directly to YouTube, Facebook and many others

I'm here to say that the app got a Sound Track feature, passed 50k installs and was chosen as a featured app by the Android Market Team.
You can find it here:

Thanks
Looks pretty cool! Will give it a try when I get time
Someone tried it?
Thanks
Just to remind everyone that didn't tried the app yet, it's being a very successful app and we are receiving awesome feedback from users.

Hello guys the app has now more then 300k installs, we just released another great update, now Lapse It has a Stop Motion mode and support for Holo and ICS Themes, also we not support 1080p rendering and full sensor capture.
Those who doesn't tried it yet, you can for free at:

I'm really liking you're app. I'll post some videos I took when I'm on a pc.

i installed the app towards the end of the day so I didnt get much time to play with it when I had light. I have my car dock attached to my window to catch the sunrise in the morning. i'll let you know how it turns out.
Thx very good apps
I would like to see some results
Someone?
Really awesome app. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and it was totally worth it.
It does take a long time to render stop motion movies but that's understandable.
It has a lot of very useful options, is very intuitive and easy to use and produces beautiful results.
If you want to see some results just go to youtube and search for "lapse it video". There are plenty of options to watch.
Congratulations on a very good app!
Strange that Im just hearing about this now. Gonna try it out.
just bought it, you can say thanks to XDA's twitter
Your apps is great, thanks a lot !
Market says that it is not compatible with my device. Samsung Illusion SCH-i110...
This is a must have even if I dont like to capture pics!

thnx for sharing
This is a great app, made a few videos with it, but I dont have a tripod for my SG2 so i am stuck filming from up against my window. Looking to get some kind of stand before continuing.
a nice feature to have with music editing would be to have a fade in/out option. couldnt find any apps on the market that do it. Also the audio I added to one video seemed to loose quality on the encode.
sum of my attempts

Thanks for your work on this app, liking the regular updates as well.
Hey, Welcome to the thread which contains some apps rha have material design.
First i want say that this thread doesn't contain any Google Apps(Gapps).
So Lets go
1.Action Launcher 3 Here
Sure, there’s the Google Now Launcher if you want the Googliest home screen possible, but Action Launcher gives your phone or tablet a Nexus-style look with more customization. There are plenty of icon pack choices and the QuickPage, which is a custom home screen you can get by swiping in from the right edge.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.Cabinet Beta Here
It’s had a long go in beta, but Cabinet is a pretty stable and desirable file manager with a slick, material design look. It uses the floating button well, letting you create a new remote connection, folder, or file.
3.Swift keyboard Here
SwiftKey has gone all-in on with themes, with choices ranging from the minimalist to the ridiculous (Frozen, anyone?). On the material design, front, however, there are two excellent keyboard choices that match the new design of Google’s keyboard but add in more functionality. They’re $0.99 each, but well worth it.
4.Field Trip Here
Field Trip is a clever app for when you’re traveling or just out and about and want to discover more about what’s around you. It will ping you with details about restaurants, sites of historical snippets, or other places that you wouldn’t normally pick up through just a Google search or perusal of Yelp.
5.WEATHER TIMELINE Here
It’s too rare to find a great “Android only” app that shows off the best of the platform. Weather Timeline has done this with its weather application. It also has excellent Android Wear implementation, pushing out weather alerts and putting the forecast on your watch. It’s only $0.99, so grab it and support great development efforts like this.
6.NUMIX CALCULATOR Here
The stock Android calculator does the job, and it too has a new material theme if you’re running Lollipop. But if you want something that looks great and has a few more features then go with Numix Calculator Pro. It saves your calculation’s history and swings in with additional capabilities when you swipe through the keyboard.
[/SIZE]
7.Source News Reader Here
Feedly is still undergoing a material redesign, so while you’re waiting, or if you just want to explore another alternative, check out Source News Reader.
8.LUMIFIC-Pic Gallery Here
Lumific is a beautiful photo gallery application for anyone that isn’t happy with the stock photo gallery app that comes preinstalled on their device. While there are many great features within Lumific, one notable feature is the ability to order photo prints from Lumific through Snapfish by HP. Now you can have any photo taken with your camera printed out to keep and to share. Lumific also takes similar photos and recreates them into GIF images automatically, and it now integrates with Dropbox to sync photos for backup.
9.PLAYER FM PODCAST Here
Podcasts are a great way to consume the content you love if you don’t have the ability to read it, and Player FM Podcast adds in loads of useful features for anyone looking to start listening to podcasts. To start, it’s cloud-based, which means you can listen to it across devices. It’s also equipped for offline playback so you can still listen to stuff even without a data connection. You’ll also never have to worry about not being able to listen to an entire podcast all the way through, since play history will let you resume from where you left off.
10.NOVA LAUNCGER BETA Here
Nova Launcher Betas include new features and fixes before they are released to all users. However they also are not as well tested and may not be as reliable. Betas are best for people who don't mind when things temporarily break a little bit.
11.WHATSAPP (MD)(OFFICIAL)(BETA) Here
If you've been waiting for that special day when messaging app WhatsApp could be updated with the Material Design of Android 5.0, the good news is that day is here. You won't find this update in the Google Play Store yet, no matter how hard you try.
great! thanks

God job man, my only choice for the music love!
Really like the YouTube search option, makes finding and sharing tunes a breeze!
I have few suggestions though:
Media Scanner to rescan the external SD card so the player can discover the newly downloaded content. The native scanner only scans the card at boot up.
Rotation support, I really dislike when apps don't support landscape orientation. First of all, landscape offers wider view for which comes in handy to see long song names and second, it's rather annoying having to rotate the phone every time when switching between apps that have different rotation support.
Now playing open window options availablity, can you add a favourite button and direct YouTube song search there so switching to the current playlist section is uneeded?
Otherwise this is one of the very best music apps there is and I would love to throw you a little donation, specially if you could implement some of these suggestions! ?
Looks good. But need folder and storage option searchs. Otherwise works great. Would like rotation as well but these are just suggestions. Good job
The app always crashes if I rotate the screen when the app is onscreen. I'm running Lineage OS on Galaxy S5.
Howzit...
What's the chances of adding a feature where I can select which folders to be scanned for music? And also a share option for media?
Otherwise it's looking good.
Hey, folks & devs!
I'd really like to know what's going on with development of this fine app? XDA Labs says it's removed from the repo, hopefuly not for good. Maybe devs decided to move elsewhere?
Anyone?
