Just an idea I had was to make it so your wallpaper is your camera, I have no idea why I wanted this but I thought it wood be pretty cool.

There's an app in the market that does exactly that. I can't remember what the name was but i tried it out for a couple days. I wasn't comfortable having the camera in a constant on mode and it was battery thief.

i believe the app you're thinking of is c-thrufone

This probably owns your battery.
The camera is already a battery beast. A live wallpaper would kill your phone in just a couple hours.

I think before you do this you should try turning on your camera, and leave it on for an hour, checking your battery before and after seeing how much drain you'll be actually facing.
Bugless Pete put one out.
Apparently it was something google built but never finished. And it only works in landscape mode.
It's called... *looks through "Purchased" in market*
"SeeThrough Live Wallpaper."
I bought it more or less to donate to Pete, along with a paypal donation I had done earlier. Of course he never showed his face again in the EVO forums.

Tweetdeck is out of beta and Tweetdeck 1.0 is available in the market and installs on the x10 and perfoms quite well..... (actually just installed it)
Here is the link to the blog post form TD
Make sure you increase the polling time in settings, the default time is set to 2 min.... or its a huge battery sucker i guess....
I haven't seen any issue (battery drain) with the 3 min. timeline update but I'm only using it for twitter though. But so far I'm loving it before TD I was using Twicca.

Thanks for the info. Read of the battery drain in the comments section of the TD blog, so assumed it as a battery drainer. Gonna reduce my polling time as well,
What is the advantage over twicca/seismic/touiteur?
Have facebook and twitter through tweetdeck updating every 3 mins. I can't see any battery drain or anything out of the normal battery wise

Me neither, best thing it is free and without adds. Works very well on my phone without battery drain.
Before I tried this I used tweetcaster. I like the way you can set up that app to your likings, but with tweetdeck I like the way the pics are shown.
For the moment I will use this one...

Yeah I like the way it shows pics as well no need for a plug in like twicca only thing missing that I noticed is twitter longer but not really a big deal something they can add in later.

Yep this is one of the best among there and after some continuous usage I can confirm that there is no heavy battery drainage which is a big PLUS for TD....

they are flip transitions by wowthatisrandom (i think if not im sorry)
what you have to do is put them in the system/framework/frameworks-res.apk/res/anim in your rom
heres the thread you can download them from here
the one for the lockscreen is lock_screen_enter or maybe lock_screen_behind_enter

from what i've heard, they're cool for like a week then they just get annoying and viewed as little more than a battery waster. kinda like live wallpapers i guess, but moreso in my opinion. you can get it with sound too; ie lightsaber power on, lightsaber power off

I don't see how this can be compared as a battery waster like live wallpapers. Those are actual running services and consistant animations over long periods of time. This is merely a transition animation that runs and terminates only when pressing the sleep button and lasts for half a second. The worst this would do is kill like 1 or 2 minutes off of your total battery charge, unless you are locking and unlocking your phone every 10 seconds.

The Flip animations do what you are explaining. There are bounce, fly and fold as well and these only seem to work with the menu's.
Flash it and check it out.
I dont think youre understanding. The video is showing a cool animation when the screen turns OFF. Youre talking about transition animations in windows flipping around. I used redemption and it does not have this in it.

Its called Regina launcher if u pull and hold down it goes to a.carousel like 3d view of ur homescreens
Its not laggy or slow by any means comes with a weather.clock widget that is veryyyyy nice
And ripple lock is a honeycomb imitation lock that goes well with it
Just for.those who want something new

Ah, I played around with that home launcher, really new and awesome idea. For some reason it was a bit laggy for me, not sure why. And I was getting annoyed by the 3d switching screens thing. But all in all, anyone who wants a change, that's a cool home launcher

Ok, I took a look and I liked it...I wanted to love it...but came away with the feeling that it wasn't quite fully baked. It definitely does things differently and I'm keeping my eye on it. A bit more development and polish and this could end up on my phone full time. If you are looking for something different you can't go wrong by taking a look.

can anyone either make me a app that makes the camera flash a notification light or point me in the right direction on how to make it myself? I am not very good at coding but I'm willing to try to learn. I know a little java and html, although it's been a while for both so i doubt they will be much good to me. Thanks!
you try noled yet? its pretty nice and almost (almost!!) makes me not miss having a notification light.
Or just maybe make the lights on the buttons below the screen go off......

this would be awesome however I think its only doable through some custom kernel work which isn't possible as of yet since imnuts and other kernel devs have no source code

How is Noled on the battery though? I tried it on my fascinate and it seemed to eat through the battery. This has been almost a year ago though.
NoLED will slightly lower your battery life, but it's the only option we have right now. We just can't get true BLN without the source code.

It does eat your battery because it unlocks your phone. That said, it does have the option to stop itself after a set time frame. I'm never away from my phone for more than five minutes, so that works for me.
I have the proximity sensor setting on for NoLED and it saves the battery a ton! The screen stays off when it's in your pocket or holster and shows the notification as soon as you take it out. NoLED is honestly the best app I have on my charge. I love seeing the icon of the notification rather than having to remember what app was yellow or blue!
BLN seems pointless on this phone. The back light on the buttons is too weak to even notice it during the day. Which I did enjoy BLN on my fascinate, but seems like it wouldn't work very well on the charge.

That's not at all true if you're indoors. The button backlight is plenty noticeable even under fluorescent lights, and would be even moreso flashing.
I could be wrong but I believe this (BLN or back LED flash) is only possible through some custom kernel work, and since we have no kernel source code yet it can't be done... your best bet now, at the cost of battery life, would be noLED

Ya it is a custom mod for a kernel. Could be cherry picked into the froyo kernel source from neldar's github.

NFL Mobile; I am on the same boat...
better camera app and louder incall volume.
Just remove the AOSP Camera and replace it with the MIUI camera. It is much better.
Also I agree getting NFL Mobile to work would be awesome!
I hate to say it but if Verizon is going to charge for the NFL app ($10 a month) I have a feeling the need for it is going to decrease.
On the other hand I would pay you to get Network Location working. That is the only thing that keeps me from AOSP. There is just way too many things that need it. Also, I agree with above poster, might as well just replace Camera with MIUI camera. Much, much better.

It is missing all of the sense stuff that I love.
A clock/weather widget that works like Sense (location changes as you do and does not have to be set.)
Better MMS (Bubble type/conversation)
Better Email client (I've tried all the others, I like something that integrates with the calendar and contacts better)
Sense 3.0 based devices all have this....which is why I keep coming back to it.
While I know there are apps/launchers that do some of this, the reason Sense is my choice is because it does all of this out of the box without apps.
I do like Launcher Pro's people widget and calendar widget set to agenda....that's the reason I bought it over sticking with ADW which I know DT likes!
Android Pro Widgets IMO kill the sense Widgets... they are sweet. I aftereffects, the Cam is lack luster... but I am working with the time I have to port the Sense Cam.

I just deal with it. Cm7 1.5.2 had great battery life everything since 1.6 and the recent 1.7 is pretty bad for me. Like maybe 4 hours of usage. I can get about 18 hours a battery with absolutely no usage. I loose Bout 50% over night.
