Now on the Market!
9/13/10 - New update!
The Max version now supports album art! You can choose to skin the cubes with your album art. It will automatically cycle through all of the album art on your SD storage. I'm working on an update to support those of you with internal storage.

market://details?id=com.wallpaper.VRTunnelMax - Full paid version
market://details?id=com.wallpaper.VRTunnelLite - Lite free version
I've removed the apk from here. If you already have one of the test versions installed, please uninstall it and get it from the market. That way you'll be able to get automatic updates.
To Do List
Short term:
Possibly implement some sort of color cycling so that the cubes change colors while it's running.
Long term:
User selectable textures
Pulsing when music is playing
Custom models - imagine instead of simple cubes, it was a bunch of Android robots
Thanks to everyone here for helping out with the testing!
If you can, come join us at the Big Texas Android BBQ

Instructions:
If you've clicked on the about bar in the settings, then you've already seen these but I should include them here as well.
The tilting motion works best when the phone is in a relatively horizontal position.
Double tap the screen to re-center the tunnel.
Try tapping the cubes multiple times to change their rotation.
After watching the clip.. my mind in a daze haha. It looks reallyy good and i'm gonna try it out right now. How is it on the battery?
LOL, the 3D effect actually looks better in the video than in real life, I think.
As far as battery, I'm sure it takes quite a toll while it's on because the motion sensors are pretty power-hungry but you can turn them off in the settings if you wish.
I know this is the nexus one forum. But just as an FYI it doesn't work on my stock 2.1 telus milestone. All the cubes and the tunnel are white, regardless of the settings selected.
hmm, ok. Is the Milestone is the same as the Motorola Droid? If so, I can think of a few things to try for the next release...
nice testing now on cm6
pretty awesome so far. and pretty good for your first app
Can I test out this lwp?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I'm impressed! It shows a lot of promise and I'll enjoy seeing how this develops.
Thanks for sharing
Wow that is very cool!!!
This is the first cool Live Wallpaper
Have just downloaded and looking good so far. Am interested to see battery usage.
Well done. That's nice work.
WoW thanks you awesome i'm loving it !

Yeah their real close, cdma (droid) vs gsm (milestone) but I'm pretty sure it's the same gpu.
chopsui, great job! These other posts are too humble. I think this LWP is top notch!
You have managed to get a '3D' style live wallpaper to work! I think the more people that find out about this the more popular you will become. I would pay for this in the market! Watch how many people kang this from you! I look forward to more from you in the future.
Just downloaded and installed. Awesome work!
Very nice! I like it.
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm working on the Milestone/Droid bug now. I'll let you know when I have a new build.

It seems 2.0 is much closer than was initially thought. Wonder if this update is coming to magics and g1s or if it's only coming on new, higher res screen phones.

It looks great but from what is on display it doesnt look too heavy, like sense.
It's funny how things get leaked from HTC all the time and so early in progress
Really looking forward to this update.

Why is it that 32a users still havent gotten 1.6 and now we are already waiting for 2.0?

One of the pictures actually says "model: droid" so aparently you are right...
Looks like they finally hired some REAL designers to replace the freaking ugly icons android uses now.
Awesome
I wonder how long we will have to wait
ah this looks so sweet, im bored of 1.6 and there really isnt a hero rom that runs smooth enough on a voda magic. this looks much better, lets hope it get released for porting and is smooth!!
Can't wait for 2.0, I like what I see, the new icons are so much better. And finally multi-select in the email app! Hope there's a leak soon
How do we which of these are these are features of 2.0 which are features of the moto droid rom? The artwork, icons and lockscreen etc, for example, I bet they are not standard features of android 2.0.
Still looks pretty cool though! Someone needs to do a nandroid of it and post it here!!

It seems that Droid is a Google Experience phone and therefore Motorola could not have messed with the ROM.
I like some of the "squareness", it seems cleaner and less "bubbly". As mentioned by others, I'm concerned that some of the things I like are actually Motorola-specific, although it's mostly all visual stuff so I can see themes being able to mimic this anyhow if necessary. I bet the icons and the lock screen are Motorola's.
I'm a little ambivolent about the "driver mode" stuff. I don't know that drivers should be doing anything with their phones AT ALL while they are at the wheel. I think it would have been better to eschew that custom screen and just have optional use of voice commands throughout the interface. Then again, it's still legal to use phones while driving in many countries, so I suppose this was necessary to stay ahead of the competition.
that looks sweet. can't wait.
i just hope i see official support for bluetooth profiles like obex.
and also more video support for avi, mkv etc.
Hi all,
The past few weeks I've been working on a new live wallpaper for the Nexus One. Now that it's nearing completion, I figured I'd share it here and gather some feedback. It runs very smoothly for me, and has a ton of options. I put it in the Market a few days ago -- you can find it pretty easily by just searching for "clangen" or using the attached QR code.
Although I created my forum account some time ago, I apparently haven't been active enough and am permitted from adding URLs to my post -- maybe some friendly mod here can help me out?
At any rate, the screenshots don't really do it justice, so I uploaded a short demo video in ogg/theora format (should play out of the box in FF and Chrome):
http://plasma.clangen.org/images/plasma.ogg
You can also grab the latest build from the website:
http://plasma.clangen.org
If a mod can help me out I'll post some direct links to the latest builds in this thread.
Dudes not kidding, it is fast, very configurable, and most importantly looks pretty badass. Also comes with quite a few presets. Nice work man
This wallpaper kicks so much ass its insane! My favorite wallpaper. Other than the sperm one. XD
Absolutely sweet. Awesome work!
Awesome wallpaper. My screen transitions seem a lot smoother now with this running.
This wallpaper is simply ingenious! No other wallpaper has that much options. And the best thing: favorite settings can be saved!
This is great. It looks fabulous and the saving of effects is a great option to have. Good job man!
Downloaded
Installed
Played with settings
Saved a few
Set as wallpaper
LOVE IT!
Awesome job on this one!
I installed it, but it's really hard to see unless you have your screen brightness jacked up, which means it's going to kill your battery even more. Don't think I'll use it day to day.
Great job on it though.
this is finest live wallpaper i have used! YOU ARE THE MAN!
It just keeps FCing for me. I really wanted to try this too...

It took this long before someone put out an honest 'first impression'
Personally, the live wallpaper has great potential - but it also is a battery hog. While most wallpapers eat about 2% of power this once takes at least 3%.
nice one !bravo
Original credit for the base animation goes to Sushiman0001. Thanks to Andrew101 for the Live Wallpaper Creator tool used to make this. My first attempt at a live wallpaper, so I tried to optimize for size, quality, and smoothness of playback.
Resolution set for Droid2 on "Large" and 20 FPS.
*note* I was too lazy to fix the naming on this, so it will show up in Apps/Wallpaper selection as "GITS"
Preview in attached jpg.
I don't think this got the credit it deserved...but THANKS!!!!!!! This is amazing work and I really like the creative thought that went into this.
Doesn't work on my Motorola Defy...sadly not even the preview.
doesn't work either on Nexus S...too bad
Doesn't work on the fascinate either.
works fine on DINC
skyraider 3.5
works on captivate and i love it! Thanks
Darn... I was gonna do this and you beat me to it Well done!
Thanks!! App is great. I set it to Big and 60FPS and although I probably won't be keeping it (because I like my static wallpaper), I still think it's fun!
Unfortunately does not work, Galaxy S.

Does not work for Galaxy S2
Doesnt work on DInc running Uber Kingdom 3.0
It installed fine but when I went to set it the preview doesnt come up and when I hit apply it just went back to my original one. Love the idea though.
Works perfect on the Echo.
Dang was hoping this would work for me, thanks for sharing.

Ho ho ho!
Winter is here!
Snow is all over the place. Why not bring it right under your fingers, on your own Android phone. Beyond Snowfall does just that!
Just shake it and the snow will fall all over your screen!!!

This is a fantastic app! I'd love to see this concept expanded into more weather and eventually a weather app.. Rain falling would be amazing! Quick note, while it runs on ICS the settings screen is tiny and not usable.

Hi,
Try to uninstall and reinstall the app. I have noticed a bug happening from time to time on the free version - in the next update I will fix this and also add the option to switch from shake mode to continuous mode.
Plese let me know if reinstalling it fixes the bug.

Actually I've spend a good amount of time on finding and applying different optimisations to lower the stress of rendering the overlayed snowflakes; from what I've noticed, on most phone models I tested the app on, the battery drain is barely noticeable. Of course, I have only tested it on a limited number of phones. Could't get my hands on the T989 to test on
Also the battery drain depends a lot on device model, number of snowflakes, if the timeout of the snow is set or it is running continuously, etc. etc.
I still got some improvements on the "menu" for the next update.
Thanks for the feedback!

I've been testing different configurations to see what works best, and this is what I've found.
I get the most optimal performance and least battery drain when set to run continuously, (shake turned off, no time out). It barely affects battery life although it still shows a high percentage in the battery stats - higher than the display, Android system, etc. but the actual battery drain doesn't seem excessive (weird..)
In any other setting, even with shake on, the system kills it after awhile (the notification icon disappears and everything) when the phone is locked/screen blacked out for more than what seems like ten minutes or so. The app then appears to "not work"but it is in fact just closed by the system.

Also, I did not adjust the size or number of snowflakes, used default settings.

Hello, I wanted to introduce PhotoDream.
It´s my first android development, and I wanted you to try and please tell me your opinion.
PhotoDream link
USA Flag effect
Draws
Love effect
It works from Froyo.
It has real time photo effects, it allows you to capture the desired photo effect in real time as you take the picture.
The available photo effects range from the typical ( black and white, negative, gray, colored, sketch, cartoon) to the not so typical such as stars, hearts, circles and flags!!!
Yes it allows you to mix your photo with your flag creating a national flag effect for your photos.
You can share your photos using facebook, gmail, ...
Sorry for my english.
Thanks !!
Help to download
It is one week from uploading and i can´t pass from 200 downloads.
It is hard.
It took me three months to develop, and I cannot afford paid advertise,
can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong?
Thanks.
The image effects dont look good im sorry but they dont.
Maybe you should try to make something that's a little easier...
Graphics applicationa are really hard to make as ypu can see.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2 JB
Thanks for your hard work, looks great..
Thaks everyone,
good and bad comments about the app.
I started working on it cause I did not know anything about Java, but I am a c++ developer experienced in working with image buffers.
Otherwise, the work i did was related to get some image features like pattern-recognition and so on, but was not oriented to user so my main failure is design.
I was born for code, maybe I don´t have designer point of view.
I will continue improving filters and i will try to do it better.
Any help about new filters you would like to appear would be brilliant.
What about real time?
Does it work well in your phones?
I have a 2 years Samsung galaxy mini with froyo and it works ok,
I tested it in almost all emulator´s configurations and was more slowly due to my machine is not as fast as expected.
Is real time effect slow or not?
Thanks
I like it! Its fun to play around with R thanks!
