The hero hardware doesnt compare to the iphones. The hero just got livewallpapers not to long ago do to just recently get android 2.1. Nothing compared to Vwallpapers, but as close as you will get. Its just a moving background.

Something with hardware like the EVO, Nexus One etc will be needed to support a feature like that.

If HTC would enable a separate GPU support this would be possible.

It would be a big battery drain on current android phones. If it ran at all times in the background. Or even for just short times, it would still.

I would think this would be doable on the Hero, or any Android device. It's not much more than using a GIF image as a background.

Then it wouldnt be Vwallpapers. I was googling the app, it can play mp4 and of course iphone video as your wallpaper. Here is a site that has some
http://www.thememyphone.com/thumbnails-155.html
Even people talking about the phone in popular blogs say it would be a big battery drain. Now on our htc heros thats a big issue.
We just got livewallpapers. Much less a video running in the background. While simultaneously moving and operating the desktop of htc sense.

yeah i kinow i have some videos on youtube showing with i was doing with v-wallpapers but i can't post them in here it keep tellimng me for spam reasons. I think if the hero can support livewallpapers i should be able to do it and yes v-wallpapers was a big battery drain but i had a car charger so i really didnt mind.

It should be doable. it is just showing a looping video. With out sound, if that is playing sound as well that would be really annoying.

How did it affect your battery life? I have to imagine your time between charges got drastically reduced.
I stopped using live wallpapers since it ate battery.

it was alright it wasn't bad as u wouid think i would say about the same battery life as when u use live wallpapers and keep gps on on the hero.But as i said as long as i had a car charger it didn't really affect me. I wish i could post my youtube videos to show just how nice this app was.

You can lower media's volume with the Android as well, it would be nice to have this on our phones bg.. and seeing how fast creativity flows in XDA it would be soon till someone posts it.. You can edit your thread as Dev for Live Anime Wallpapers and see if devs come and work together and make it happen..
Be Safe,

Live Watches (SE LiveView)

EDIT, 05/15/11:
Note: You will only care about this app. if you own a Sony Ericsson LiveWatch device!
v1.2
* Now with several more, aesthetically pleasing watch faces and hands
* Upload your own png file as /sdcard/livewatch.png (girlfriend picture, pet, etc.) -- Beware! The LiveView device is very picky with encoding, color set, etc.
* Flashligt! (Why not?) Click the select button, then touch the top border.

EDIT, 04/27/11:
Make sure you download it from the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.voilaweb.mobile.liveview.livewatches
***
I am going to talk about a plug-in I wrote for the Sony Ericsson LiveView.
However, if you guys wish to discuss development for that device or how to make it work better, this is also welcome because it is both intriguing and under-represented (and a bit maddening at times)
Anyway, I was flabbergasted when I realized that there isn't any straightforward "watch" plug-in for the LiveView so in a couple hours I figured out how to use the SDK and created one.
I am not releasing it yet and I will only make it available it there is interest for it and I get the appropriate permissions from the people whose art I have used for this proof of concept app.
By the way, more face and hands art would be welcome!
A few (terrible) screenshots:

My LiveView was sent from the website i ordered it from, today=) I would really such an addon=)
And i can make you some artwork if i get something to work with=)

Oh, that's good.
I hope it works well for you. The device losing its pairing can be quite aggravating.
On the other hand it is a breeze to develop for; actually simpler than writing a home screen widget.

A friend of mine got it last week and said that he had lost his pairing once since he got it set up.
To me no development is a breeze i know squat about programing
But as said i would love to make you some graphics you could use so that you can release this=)

^^
I just received a sms from my post office that my LiveView had arrived
and here are a little graphic preview of some artwork you might use(?) It shows the whole thing, background, minute hand and hour hand=)
I really think you should release this addon

Ha! I like it a lot, in fact.
Can you post it as three files as described at http://www.voilaweb.com/lv_faq#createtheme?
Oh, and I updated the OP with a link to the beta apk

Will do, Just have to make some minor changes as the big and short hand are the same. and also added some indicators on the clock face.
Edit: Also, will you support this addon? i mean like bugs and stuff?

I guess, I will have to, yes

So, anyone go any feedback for me?

hey man.
i just installed your app from market and it's looking great.
i guess you can make a clock with digits or maybe a digital one.
it still disconnects but at least i have a watch
one other thing maybe you can ad an always on screen option

MrJay, first off, thanks for your feedback
The "always on" option would be nice but I invite you to think about this some more...say until your device dies on you because its damn battery is already too weak for the plug-in's current version
EDIT: OK I really don't want to sound negative. The device is really nice. I just wish it had better connectivity and battery life.
In fact, the tricks I read on how to force it to reconnect using AutomateIt, etc., end up sucking battery life like crazy.

The only thing i have to say about this addon, is that its a bit slow to update when i wake the screen. might take a sec before the clock shows the correct time.
Other than that, i love it

Thanks Marius.
Yes, I know about the 1 sec. delay it's due to sending as few updates to the device as possible, to improve battery life.
But maybe I could slightly alter this behavior for a "wake up" event.
BTW, I hope you guys are using the version from the market! It's free, but more likely to get updates than the one on my blog.

i stopped using automateit. it didn't do that much and yes you're right about the crappy battery life .
anyway keep up the good job. it's a nice to have application.

I ordered one of these devices today after seeing this post, fantastic plugin! this is perfect for when I'm at work, seeing as I work outside and don't have time to check my phone for any updates, much less the time. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Where can I order this I'm interested I live in California if that makes a difference

Well, Spitfire, so do I. I ordered from these guys: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E2V4NM and it was shipped from Florida.

Have you updated this with any new themes?
Ive been away over the easter and haven checked in here for about 2 weeks. also i've been flashing a lot of ROMs lately so havent gotten to hook up my liveview yet. Will look in to it today th0=)

Can someone make a theme like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib9GTkImEwQ&feature=player_embedded#at=20
(watch the video it has a bunch of different themes as well)

Awesome design. I fear that the LiveView's limited resolution will not be able to display something this complex, though. Not even something as good-looking as a TikTok

Sound Box
It reacts on a shaking and makes your phone act as a bell, drum, rattle, wind chimes and other such a stuff. It's a toy for fun. Some users noted that children also love it.
So shake your phone, have fun!
The goal
Actually the initial idea came from my friend. She said: it would be cool if you'll shake your phone and it will sound like a junk in a metal box or like a broken device. Totally broken. Later me and my friends came up with an invention to add a bell, maracas and more. When I started, the main goal was to make an app that authentically behave like a rattle, a bell, etc. I tried to get a realistic reaction to the phone shaking. Among other things, different sounds for different strength of shaking - just like real things. Hope I've succeeded.
Variations
There are two versions: lite and full. Lite version contains limited set of sound themes. For now there are small bell, darbuka and "digital" sound (simple sine harmonics). Full one is a set of about 20 sound themes. There are, in addition to lite ones, metal and bamboo wind chimes, maracas, rattlesnake, jingle bells, tin can with junk (yeah that junk from the initial idea) and much more. For now full version is paid.
Requirements
- Android 1.5+.
- No additional permissions required.
Notes
The application locks most of the buttons by default. You could switch it off: see Menu -> Settings for details!

Thank you.

Nice idea, Can i make a request? Can you include a guitar sound?

Yeah, why not. Actually there was an idea to make it possible for users to create sound themes by themself and share it with anyone. Right now I finishing my first game. After it possibly I'll made it.
Anyway I'll try to record some nice guitar sound and add it to the existing set.

C'mon guys, just tell what you think! Is it good? Is it bad? Is it boring? Just anything... How do you think, what would be great to add/change here?

Well, ok...

nice app!
the sound theme list is too short in the free app though..

I would suggest you to put a full version and let ppl try it out
Then, you lock the update after you have received all the comments and recommendation

nice app.
But i can't download the Full version via the QR code, and i couldn't find it on android market

great app with far reaching potential. needs more sounds though.

nice app. thx

Thank you all for comments and suggestions. This is what I needed.

Yeah, may be, I'm not sure (that somebody will shake the phone so far as to damage it). Anyways, it's not necessary to shake it too hard. There is a setting of the sensitivity in the application. But maybe you're right. Maybe I'll add a warning to the application's description. Just in case.

Sorry mate with respect have to give this the thumbs down, i was expecting at leaast 10/15 different sounds not just 3,my young son might like it if there were some cartoon noises but only 3 uninstalled..sorry.

i'll try.
seems nice

[Q] What's the latest version of Sound Enhancer?

Can anyone tell me what's the latest version of HTC's sound enhancer? I'm trying to get it working on a Samsung Focus S. It's dev unlocked and I'm able to load xaps, but when I open it most of the options are grayed out and I can't save any settings I apply. Thanks.

Hook it up to an external source or earphones, then choose Equalizer, you should now be able to tap on the selection bar and choose which per-set you want; simply exit and it will save. If you unplug your head phones or AUX source it will go back to grey (default).

I tried, but nadda. Multiple headphones and speakers, all the same thing. No change in sound (dolby and srs are the only options). Even if I change something, exit the app and then reopen it, it's back to no effects.

That sucks, I wonder if it's a dll or driver issue.

I read this just today, looks like it was pulled because it was crashing HD7 phones and it sounds like a new one should be out as soon as HTC can fix it.

Wow this is what I mean when I say that Windows Phone sucks compared to Windows Mobile, the lack of functionality. Look at the picture below remember this? Why can we have something as simple as this on Windows Phone? It sure beats the hell out of me especially whey they forced us to move to WP7 when they pulled the plug on WM and stopped supporting it.

I had tried the xaps on my Samsung focus. And results were exactly as you experienced. I also want equalizer and bass boost options on my focus. I am willing to donate $10 for this thing.

I posed this as a separate thread but no one seems to have any intrest. I have Sound Enhancer on my Trophy and it does the job but it lacks the ability to let one ajust their sounds, it just has presets and we should have more opptions. Maybe if someone posts this to a mod or something it would gain intrest, who knows how long it's going to take HTC to fix this.

Thanks for helping bring light to this sinister. I'm sad to report that I'm going back to my 4S for the time being. I've been carrying it around with me since I got the Focus to use as an mp3 player...and as fun as WP7 is to use, multiple devices makes absolutely no sense to me.

My phone is also a Trophy.
No one is mentioning that Sound Enhancer doesn't work with Bluetooth headsets either.

That's because Bluetooth on WP7 is a joke, You can't do anything worth while or useful with it except use your ear piece for phone calls.

Will check this out, thanks!

I've been waiting for an app like this since I tried Appy geek, and it's finally here
After a short test, I like it. It needs more sources though, is there an option to find them, just I can't see it, or is it left for future builds?
Push notifications would be nice, in the future, for now it's rather good as it is!
Edit: I have first posted, and then saw that you've already mentioned sources. For starters, I would add Auto Express and Autocar videos.
I'll keep using the app and give more info in the future Thumbs up!

Update notifications are working fine on my SGS4 (though I turned them off this morning).
Used the app during my commute this morning. Working great. Already shared a few links.
I'm thinking that it would be nice to be able to toggle notifications by feed. Say like I just wanted to know when Car and Driver, and Road & Track were updated, but not others.

I haven't got many posts, so I still have restriction when it comes to posting (and editing my posts) speed, sorry for confusing posts...
I didn't get notifications yet, but give it just a bit more time (it's possible that I've changed something outside of the app, so it could be my bad). I'll report on this again.
I'm sure plenty of people would be interested in tuner sites rss, so this could be nice to add, but it can wait (because that will probably demand special category if you put in many sources).
Also, if you need beta testers, I'm your man

I've tried the app on both tablet, and a phone, and it looks good on both. One thing surprised me - my phone has KitKat on it, no flash, yet it seems I've played a pure flash video from the app (it wasn't in videos section, but a part of the article).
