My second app!
This is a live wallpaper of Mario playing randomly generated levels. Every once in a while, a level ends and a new one begins. There are three themes for levels: outside, underground and castle. They appear in that order.
Have a look at wallpaper's settings! You might find something interesting there. Like the ability to change FPS, or to disable level background (making levels darker).
By default, this live wallpaper is in the playback mode. If you switch it to AI mode, it tends to waste a considerable amount of battery power because of the artificial intelligence, which is rather complex. The fact that the wallpaper is nice enough to be stared at for long periods of time, doesn't help that situation either.
By default, this wallpaper is set up to have a low priority. This is good, but not if your device is running a CPU intensive app. So - if the wallpaper is very slow on your device (something like 2 frames per second), consider looking at battery logs to find application(s) that waste a lot of CPU time.
And, at last, as all my work, this live wallpaper is donation supported too. So if you like it, consider buying be a cup of much needed cofee or a pizza.
See the video of how it looks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g58o9w0bg4
Issues? Read the FAQ in the next post below.
To get the live wallpaper, use this link from the android device, or this QR code:

Frequently asked questions - FAQ
I've downloaded and installed it. How do I set it up as a Live Wallpaper?
Follow this procedure:
go to your home screen
press the menu button on your device
select "Wallpaper"
select "Live Wallpapers" *
search and select for "Mario Live Wallpaper"
select "Settings" to see the settings or select "Set wallpaper" to activate it
(* if you don't see "Live Wallpapers" option in the "Select wallpaper from" menu then your device probably doesn't support Live Wallpapers)
What is the difference between "AI Mode" and "Playback Mode"?
Playback mode uses prerecorded plays, so Mario doesn't think but just "plays back" one of the 1000 or so levels from memory. AI mode makes Mario smart, and he will use artificial intelligence to complete the level. AI mode uses MUCH MORE BATTERY, and also might not work correctly on some older devices due to lack of memory and processing power.
I've turned "AI Mode" on and this wallpaper wastes a lot of battery. What can I do?
That's just how the Mario's artificial intelligence is, very demanding on the phone's resources. Turn the AI Mode off or if you absolutely want it, you can disable course background and decrease FPS to remedy the issue.
Why does this Live wallpaper require internet access?
It's to download and show ads. They appear in the Live wallpaper's settings.
I can't find this on the market. Where is it?
Your phone is probably unsupported. If you're sure that your phone supports live wallpapers, you can try manually installing with the APKs that are at the end of the post above.
I can't download the APK. My phone says "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone". What to do?
Don't download it with your phone! The default browser in Android doesn't support downloading APK files. Try this:
download AndroZip from the market. It's a file browser app
download the latest APK from the first page of this thread, do it with your PC
transfer the APK to the phone's SD card
on the phone, go to Settings -> Applications -> check "Unknown sources"
launch AndroZip, search for the APK on the sd card, and select it. You should be offered to install the live wallpaper
later when installed, go to home screen, press the menu key, select Wallpaper -> Live Wallpapers, search for Mario Live Wallpaper and select it
This is so cool! How about you theme it like this game? Or make another like this other game? Or maybe that game?
This is not likely going to happen because of copyright issues. The Mario Live Wallpaper is made from free and open-source material (check About in the settings) while any other game (even themes from Super Mario) are a no-go because the vast majority is proprietary and copyrighted.
This LWP is very cool. Thanks! How can I contribute?
In a number of ways:
by contacting me if you have any issues, not mentioned in this FAQ
by saying thanks
by buying me a cup of coffee or a pizza
OMG
this is awesome!
GREAT!
i really laughed when seeing it!
really really great ^^
do you know how many battery it takes?
whats happening when there is a fullscreen app launched? i assume than the wallpaper is stopped?
edit: maybe a random difficult level could be good, so that he sometimes uses 1 or sometimes 15 every level different difficulty? randomly maybe?
haha thats really cool!
It lags a little though for me when I flip between screens, especially one with a scrolable widget.
Thank you for share with us

Thanks!
On my device it usually shows 10%. Yes, of course, the wallpaper pauses when it's not visible.
Good suggestion! I'll consider it. Right now the difficulty is actually random between what ever you set and up to 3 higher. So if you set 4, the difficulty will be random from 4 to 7.

It's supposed to lag. This means that it gives priority to your home screen and widgets. It you don't like this behaviour, turn off low priority from the settings, but then everything will lag. As I said, Mario's AI is complex.
can't find in market even when scanning QR code.
this is ridiculously awesome.
Awesome! Thank-you. It would be great if you made a version based on Super Mario World 1...

Nice job! *10char*
Very sweet and surprisingly smooth with Launcher Pro.
I downloaded the .apk from the first post and I'm running it on cyan 5.0.8. For some reason Mario is off the right side of the screen, so I can't see him actually jumping over anything or doing anything. Is this wallpaper supposed to be used in landscape mode or is something wrong with my install?
awesome!
found on market on 2.1
The best!!!
simply brilliant !

The view should align with homescreens. If you're in the center homescreen, Mario should be at the center.
He might be shifted to the right in the live wallpaper preview mode, since that is the "zero" position.

I used it for awhile, while on my D1 and really liked it. Now that I have my X I am loving SPB Shell. But, it is a good launcher.
It is available also in the Market, so you ensure actualizations.
Quite nice launcher. What i did not find is how to change the apps launched, like sms, mail, contacts etc, as i use not to standard ones.
Is there a way to contact the author to ask for features? In the web page there is no contact option

Must Have Apps for the Note 10.1
Due to popular demand via PMs, I've decided to add a slot to this thread to display some of the best games we can get on our Android device.
As with the app list above, if there's a great game you'd like to be added to this list, let me know and I may well add it in
1. Pool Break Lite - If you like to play pool, snooker, billiards etc. on the go then this is a great app you. There are a few different variations to play in either single player or multiplayer online mode and even more variations if you buy the pro version.
2. FIFA 12 - This game speaks for itself. It's the latest mobile version of the FIFA franchise and is easily the best so far, with it showing vast improvements. There's a load of different cups and leagues to play through and with great graphics with no lag in the slightest.
3. World Series Of Poker - Probably the best game from EA (in my opinion). If you like to play poker I totally recommend this game. You can play Texas Holdem and Omaha in either cash games, tournaments or play for a WSOP bracelet as the main prize. Guest mode is now available for no login from Facebook is needed.
4. iAssociate2 - This is a good choice if you prefer a bit of a brain tester. iAssociate2 is a word association game you have to figure out which words and phrases are associated to each other. Sound easy? Give it a try and you can soon find out differently.
5. Need For Speed Most Wanted - Another brilliant addition to the EA family, Most Wanted finally brings one of the best racing experiences to Android. It's a brilliant game all round but the only thing it's lacking, in my opinion, is 'free roam' mode. But apart from that, it brings brilliant graphics and flawless gameplay.
6. Grand Theft Auto III - Grand Theft Auto III was a crime game which changed the future of gaming and is amazing to play on the go with our Androids. The full console game with great graphics, full features and surprisingly no lag considering it's such a huge game. Countless hours of gameplay, HD quality resolution and visually stunning graphics make this a must for our devices.
Must Have Apps for the Note 10.1
The idea to add widgets into this thread aswell was an idea taken from Goku80 and I hope you lot like it.
So, the list in this post is strictly for widgets. I'll add some widgets myself as a base, but as always feel free to suggest some of your favorite widgets and they may make it into this list.
1. Beautiful Widgets - Beautiful set of Widgets containing clock widget, clock and weather widget, weather widgets, date widgets and toggle widgets with skins/themes support!
2. Fancy Widgets - Personalize your Android home screen with highly customizable clock widgets, weather widgets, home (clock & weather) widgets, forecast widgets, and more with lots of customization options.
3. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) - If you enjoy customizing the look of your homescreen then this is pretty much a MUST HAVE app for you. It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like. However you want it, you can make it with UCCW.
4. Desktop VisualizeR - Here's another really useful widget if you love to customize your screens. This gives you the ability to make shortcuts and widgets with any image you specify, rather than just the default logos. You can also use this app to give apps a custom icon of your own, which is handy if your icon design doesn't currently exist.
5. Minimalistic Text - Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way. It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable throughout.
6. Eye In The Sky Weather - This is for all those who like their weather clean, simple and beautiful. The app includes 12 of the best weather icon sets and the ability to add your own icon sets.
+1 AirDroid. Airdroid is an absolutely fantastic app. No cables required.
Here are a few to take advantage of all the screen real estate:
Google currents
News360
Flipboard - only configured to operate in portrait mode.
S-pen
Sketchbook Pro - great for the artist in all of us.
Music Apps:
These music players also take advantage of the screen real estate. Both are paid apps.
Ubermusic
Zplayer - only configured to operate in portrait mode
Camera
Paper Camera - great effects and simple interface and operation.
Glimmr - Best flickr app available. Thanks to XDA member brK3

I don't actually have the Note. I just figured it would help you guys out a bit, so I can't actually know if some of these apps will work or not.
Can anyone else confirm that Bar Shortcut doesn't work? I can then remove it from the list
I'll also update the list soon, once I've had something to eat

Elixir wants way too many permissions for me.
IMHO a absolute must have is share 2 copy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taroid.share2copy
Hello, everyone. I have decided to make this thread so that I can share some of my favorite apps with everyone in this community.
But there is one condition. NO SUPER POPULAR APPS.
I haven't posted apps like PowerAMP and Flipboard and Swiftkey. EVERYONE knows about these apps.
The purpose of this thread is to make everyone aware of new apps which are largely unheard of. Apps which are not so popular. I was too tired of seeing numerous lists full of apps I already knew about.
So, here's my list (You probably would've heard of some of these, but I guarantee, not all of them ) -
1) Atom Launcher- A great launcher with many options for customization while maintaining a minimalistic look. I personally recommend Typo Black Theme to go along with it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dlto.atom.launcher
Typo Black Theme- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dlto.atom.theme.NamuSModernTypoBlack
2) WordWeb - In my opinion, THE best dictionary out there. Why? Because its offline. Doesn't require an internet connection!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...3b3Jkd2Vic29mdHdhcmUuYW5kcm9pZC53b3Jkd2ViIl0.
3) Wallbase - I've tried 'em all and nothing has helped me find better wallpapers than this app. And most of them are full HD.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jaXRjLndhbGxiYXNlIl0.
4) LyricsPlayer - This app shows a notification on the status bar when you're playing music, clicking on it automatically searches for the lyrics and displays them.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5jYXJsb3NnczkxLmx5cmljc3BsYXllciJd
5) Holo Compass - The most minimalistic and cool looking compass around.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.surix.holo.compass&feature=search_result
Here's another - Field Compass Holo
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.fieldcompass
6) Circle Alarm - A holo themed and minimalistic alarm app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50amVhbm5pbi5hbGFybSJd
Here's another - AlarmQuick https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.kinst.jakub.alarmquick
7) Node- Just a super cool live wallpaper
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zdWZmaWNrLm5vZGUiXQ..
8) Pimp My Music - This is great for fixing up the ID3 tags in your songs and for finding all the right cover art.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImF1LmNvbS5waWNrdXAucG1tIl0.
9) T.E.A.M. Battery Bar - This displays a coloured bar on top of the status bar showing the battery level (remember MIUI?). A must have for me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.batterybar
10) Active Lockscreen - I think this is one of the best lockscreens out there.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jZWxsdGljay5sb2Nrc2NyZWVuIl0.
11) ConvertIt - Another holo themed and minimalistic app, this one is a unit converter.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5kcmlua2RyYW5rd2FzdGVkLmFuZHJvaWQuY3Z0Il0.
12) Phone Addict - This great little app counts how many times I check my phone. Over a period of time, shows the day I checked my phone the most times, the least times, and how often I check on average.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wYW5kdXRlY2hub2xvZ3kucGhvbmVhZGRpY3RmcmVlIl0.
13) Llama - For me this app is a MUST HAVE. I'll explain how it works. Basically, when you're at home or at work, your phone is getting signal from multiple cellphone towers nearby. What this app does is remember these towers and triggers certain profiles when they are in the vicinity. So, when I reach home, my phone automatically turns silent and when none of these towers are in range i.e. when I'm outside, it automatically increases the ring volume. You'll have to let it scan once, of course.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rZWJhYi5MbGFtYSJd
14) Godville - This is a super simple game. You are God and you create your hero and lead him on quests etc. Superb time-killer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nb2R2aWxsZWdhbWUuYW5kcm9pZCJd
15) Plasma Sound HD - This is a super cool app which lets you create music which is visually stunning too. Try it out yourself.

Drywall is a wallpaper management and Dashboard combo, an open source alternative to Google Wallpapers. The app consists of 3 pages. A wallpaper management page, a featured page and a wallpaper category page. The app is designed to be a utility for wallpaper management and a custom homebrew built dashboard for wallpapers. I was alittle bored of other open source dashboards because well, who keeps an app installed in their device that just holds wallpapers. Your gonna download the one you like and be on your way.
The Device Page shows your current wallpaper. From this page, you may adjust the offset, blur it, clear it, or set a custom image as a background. The Dashboard is also smart enough to count all of the items currently available to you so you as a user can compare the change and variation in content over time. The app has a default count but as you start to browse, the counts will increase or subtract and the dashboard will keep track of this.
The Featured Page just show cases a specific category to the user.
The collections tab works the same way. These wallpapers can also be downloaded for personal use. Drywall will also find any other wallpaper providers installed on your device for other uses.
These wallpapers are loaded via RSS rather than JSON. Reason i use RSS because i use the Title, Description, Author, and Image strings of which RSS usually provides so it works for me.
Majority of my collections will be forked from Unsplash.
Usage
You are more than welcomed to use the code for any other projects but just credit me where needed. EX: Custom Roms, fork into launcher projects, implement in wallpaper Dashboard project or repackage as your own. Link here for reference.

I am very grateful for any help if anyone want todo a pull request.

Latest update is now live. Available on xda labs and Google Play. Source code updated on github.
Il be working on an update for this soon and as with every update, a new collection of wallpapers will be added to the categories.
The goal of Drywall is to become the open source alternative to Google Wallpapers. To offer the same features, plus some.
Todo list for next update
-Add a category to list currently installed live wallpapers
-Revamp splash screen to material design
-Dependency updates and AndroidX conversion
-Maintenance to wallpaper customization

-Add crop support to custom wallpapers
Feel free to contribute to the project on github!

Released an update yesterday.
This update migrated the application to AndroidX, updated dependencies and a slight revision to the user interface. Users have already noticed a huge difference in performance and wallpaper rendering.
I wanted to build a category for live wallpapers with my own interface but I haven't figured it out yet without tapping into mirroring.
Il be working on updating the seasonal category soon and bringing uo some new walls soon. I think a notification system is in store soon.
