How about a LWP that takes a user specified animated GIF and shows it as a live wallpaper? I'd look into making it myself if I had the spare time.

There ya go, we have an app name and idea, someone code it up
Another cool thing should be to use a video looping as live Wallpaper...I've search any app to do that, unsucessfully...

Cool... but what about battery life?
Video looping as live wallpaper. Would be GRE. I had a first Gen iPhone and jailbroke it to make of do the same. The only thing though. It ate the battery life. Lol
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I actually think GIFs would be worse for battery life than videos would be.
Flash would be better than Gif !
I don't think it would consume a lot battery because some LG/Samsung s phone have it.
There is an app called Kwall live Camera which shows the camera view as your wallpaper. Very cool to show off but will chew through your battery in a matter of minutes
I've got Silhouette LWP, which is slightly more complex than an animated GIF, on my N1 and still get ~ 19h battery life. Keep in mind that the LWP should only be running when the Home screen is showing. I definitely think this is do-able without too much battery impact, if done right.
If anyone manages to make the app, it would rock!
I'm currently trying to program a video loop to become live wallpaper.. google has a nice tutorial but it does not use images..

*Updated: Added more icons and .psd file.
I wasn't intending on making a thread for these, but i got quite a few PM's about them, so instead of replying to everyone, one by one, i decided to post it here...
What is PolaDroid??? Polaroid widgets that are arbitrarily designed to overlap one another.
I use Desktop Visualizer (large) to set up the widgets. I also recommend using Launcher Pro Plus to re-size and place them.
Included Icons:
Browser
Camera
Contacts
Email
Facebook
Fantasy Football
Market
Music
Spades
Text
Tools
Twitter
Video
Voicemail
Weather
*Bank of America
*Favorites
*Games
*Navigation
*Froyo (for whatever reason)
i will add more icon if enough people request similar ones
now for the screenshots:
hope you guys like them

yes, if you want the overlapping you HAVE to use launcher pro PLUS.
use desktop visualizer (large) as the starting point.. get the icon on the screen and re-size to a 1x1 icon.. then when u get a few of them on the screen placed where u want, expand each icon and they will overlap..
Very nice. Thanks.
Is there a psd in there? if not can you upload one please?
Thanks bk718 !!
Love, love, love the icons! I set up one screen with three on it, looks awesome! I'll keep checking back to see if/when items are added =)
Gorgeous
This is awesome ... Thanks.
BTW, can you tell me your LP settings? (number of rows/columns, etc.) And what is the font using here?

5 rows, 5 columns.. but you could use just about any number of rows and columns for different setups..

[Moved fom http : // forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?p=9261880]
Hi everyone,
I'm very new at this site and not sure if it is the right place post the thread but anyway.
A friend of mine and I are especially interested in cooking Cookie Home Tab widgets. We are located in Russia and primary doing iPhone development but I have some win mo relevant experience.
We got a few things working like google search and notes.
As for now it is buggy and design is ugly=)
We'll continue our work and finally I hope will release a widgets pack.
I'd like to get some help :
1. Please vote for widgets that you like most of all
You can post Android or Yahoo widgets links for reference
2. We are looking for a designer who can make it all look better and work on skin packs
I will put it all together at my site next week.
Please let me know your thoughts
I would appreciate any feedback

I like the idea. Will take a look from implementation perspective.
It would be great if you can workout some screen shots for "Alarm","Search" and "Quick Notes" in "windroid" look and feel.
If you need any help with skins for the widgets then I'd be happy to help.....

Yes but it is a very small button and it comes with digital clock which is unnecessary. Also it is hard to tell if the alarm is on or off by looking that button.

Right now the widgets that are in progress do not have any skin at all.
It is just an input box for search and white area for notes.
I'd like to get some ideas for design.
It should be simple, intuitive and follow general manila look and feel.
I would appreciate any art works for now.
We can make a simple voting and choose the most popular to apply.
However I'd like to provide several skins and layouts for each widget in future.

I hope we would get some visual presentation for the alarm widget.
Please feel free to post any suggestions.
The implementation looks pretty simple if we gonna use standard alarm to grep some data. I will take a look and get back to you soon.
Any chance of getting a hold of the basic image files you have? just to get a feel for the dimensions and what goes where??

How do you go about installing this? Do I just drop on my SD card?
I would love if there was Pandora here...
By the way, what's the name of the wallpaper you're using, it's great!
EDIT: Sorry, no need anymore, I found it here: http://customize.org/wallpapers/54543 (For people that want it in HD)
Awesome!!! Where can I find that clock/weather widget?
Having problems installing. When running the apk, installer tries to replace Pandora, I choose yes, then it states application failed to load.
Anyone else experiencing this or know of a workaround?
Update: Simple uninstall and install apk resolved error.
Sorry for the late response,

try the BETA version seems to work well
How do I delete some cities ?
Is it possible to Create widget 4X1 thanks
I'll give it a try. I'm still looking for the perfect weather app.
My only deal breaker when it comes to weather apps: Clocks. I hate clock widgets. I hate weather widgets that have clocks on them. I can't understand why they are so prevalent. It's torture.
Looks, nice however got a nice bootloop when trying to pen it on the n7 2013 running L. Is it only good up to kk?
Option to delete a city appears when you long-press a city
Question about addition of a city in the database:
I wanted to add the city "l'Hospitalet de l'Infant" in Spain, and added the request on the website. But I had some difficulties to understand how to find its geoname-id (even I read the forum). I finally found it, and added it, but maybe you could add in your forum a simple way to get it, for people like who don't know
Else all is ok, widget and wallpaper. It's very nice.

To delete a city follow these steps

2. Long tap on the location you want to delete.
A popup menu to appear.
3. Choose Delete from the menu,
No, widget 4x1 is not available yet.
Stay tuned!

As soon as it will be resolved the location should be available on Android and iOS.

YoWindow is not supporting L, unfortunately so far.
That's because of a piece of C++ code that crashes by an unknown reason.
We don't have a device to test L on.
So that's kind of a problem.
I hope to take care about it after the release rush is over.
Thanks for reporting anyway

Thx, there is nothing urgent, of course.
Can I suggest you something: on the widget, there is no option to update its parameters directly. Could we imagine to have a "parameter" icon on the widget?
