Massive EVO wallpaper collection. Over 1800! (Updated: 2/4/11)

Yep. It's the one I use. I go between that and live Nexus for when I'm showing off the phone or just feeling something different.

where could one find that wallpaper?

You might want to try Socwall.com A lot of dark ones under abstract. That's where I got my current one. There are also plenty that are simpler than mine of course.

Wonder if there's a widget like this?

Curious to know, after looking at the demo video for Windows Phone 7 (or windows mobile 7 whatever), is there some sort of widget we could put on our screens, or has anyone heard of one, that can show off our recent calls? I think that would be handy indeed. I'll do some more searching but I didn't see anything yet, if I find something, I'll be sure to edit and update this post.
Thanks

lol thats the first thing that I thought but hey.
to the OP all you have to do is hit "phone" on the rosie bar and it will bring up all recent calls.
I'd like a widget like this too.
yeah yeah yeah, it may seem stupid but let's put this into perspective....."dildroid"? Need I say more?
Anyway, yeah dude, seriously....would it have killed ya fingers to type out the extra letters?

Looks like the guy wants to copy something that was demo'd in a winmo7 phone.
I think it's a good idea, recent calls widget would be nice, along with any of the other "tiles" or widgets they have going on in the new winmo. One of the greatest parts of being an open OS is that if you like the idea that someone else has came up with, you can take that idea and run with it.

just looking down at a widget on the homescreen would be even easier than this method if it was available

[APP] Clock of Beauty v1.3

flip left / right it to next/previous picture
you can get(her name,home,blood type,height,3 measurement size,occupation, etc...)
you can select girl from Hong Kong/Korea/Japan
save image to SD card or internal storage
save to background
I hope I'm not the only one thinking "wtf??"...Seriously. What's the deal with this app? It's a clock. I get that part, but random girls interests and blood type? What is this crap?

Parts of Japanese culture are apparently into bloodtyping. The belief that with certain bloodtypes comes different personalities and necessities in life. As for the app... yeah I'm with you, it's odd.
Though I don't mind the concept of hot chicks holding up the time for me

Tilting SCreen

Is there any way to disable that annoyng tilting effect og the sense 3??? I don't know why but most of the time I turn on the phone the screen is rotated left or right.
yeah settings then display then auto rotate, turn that off

Maybe I made a wrong question. When you hold the phone on hand and you move it from left to right, objects on screen remain alligned with the floor. It's quite annoyng and it doesn't work as well....
Ha ha that sounds great. It didn't happen with mine

The home screen tilts if I move the phone. I hate thing thing!
any chance of a vid or photo of this? I've never known anything like that before.
from what i gather, he's saying that the software image is staying aligned with the horizon when he moves his phone. so if he tilts his phone at 45 degrees, sense will still be in line with the horizon, where as you or I would need to tilt our heads at 45 degrees to see it aligned properly....get it?

two days ago i tested on the dhd a coocked rom, Rmix i think, that came with sense 3.0. It has the same thing, that I assume is a standard feature of the sense. I cannot believe you don't see it. Try to move the phone from left to right in the home screen: I can see the edge of the clock, in the meteo widget you see the moon or the sun in 3d. At a first sight it's amazing, but now, when i switch on the phone the screen is not aligned.....

[CONCEPT] Google Nexus III

Hi, everyone! I have created a concept based on a joke with Apple copying some android features for the ios5 (wich i think was a step in the right direction). So, the "next google phone" looks a little like the iphone and the fiction-ad plays with the taskbar matter. By the way, the new taskbar i introduced is a concept too. It would replace the hardware buttons with a second monochrome display, adding more functionality and saving more battery power.
Well, enough talking.
Let me know what you think about it.

Not bad. Though it looks more in line with what a MS branded WP7 phone should look like.

Yeah, maybe because of the colour X in the back cover. It really resembles Windows.
Why didnt someone launch hybrid phone?

Looks nice, I don't like the bottom notification thing though, seems out of place.
This could probably be the worst concept ever. Lol

Maybe the pictures did not shows enough.
Well, it actually would act like the current normal hardware touch sensitive controls, displaying the same signals: back, search, options and home, just like the current ones.
But...
Once the screen is off and you are listening to music, it can act as the player controls, or even the unlock slider without need to power on the screen all time. It would notify you about new email, sms, missed calls when screen is off. But once the screen is unlocked, it get back to it's normal four button functions. Touching the notification unlocks the screen and takes you directly to the related app. Touching the back symbol on the right, marks the notification as "seen". Its more or less how it should works.

Live Wallpaper Request (The Walking Dead)

Hi... first of all I'd like to mention that I tried a couple of searches to check if there is a thread specific for LWP requests but haven't found any yet... if there is one and I missed, I'm sorry and please redirect me to the correct place. :good:
Moving on... I've searched all over for The Walking Dead live wallpapers and can't seem to find any. I also tried to see if there was a way to make them myself but honestly I'm not that tech-pro, so no go on that plan either. What I've done is cut the two clips that I was thinking on using for my wallpapers and place them a zip file in the hopes that someone out there might want to help me. I'm not sure if I should've done it like I did (quicktime video) of by doing a PNG sequence... if that would be better please let me know. I'm using a Walking Dead lockscreen image (I'll post the image here as well), so my idea was to have that lockscreen and when I unlock, the live wallpaper comes in with the zombie moving there. Anyways... I'd appreciate any help on this.
Ohhh I so want that too great idea. I'd there a way we can have one wallpaper set up for the lock screen, and a different one for the home screen? I mean you could probably use a lock screen replacement.

Yeah... sorry I think I might've not explained myself very well on that part. I actually AM using the app widgetlocker and at this present time do have a lockscreen wallpaper and a completely different homescreen wallpaper set up. My insterest is mostly in being able to get that The Walking Dead Live Wallpaper done. I think i'd look cool with the "Do not open, dead inside" lockscreen and then when I unlock the phone there's the zombie moving in the Live Wallpaper.
Thx

Not a true LWP, but you could get an equivalent look with Video Live Wallpaper
I can't make a live wallpaper or I'd help you out but could you post the pic you're using as your background? That's awesome I'd love to change my lock screen image and that would be great.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Thanks... looks like that did the trick.. It'd be nice to have an actual apk for the wallpaper, but until then I think Video Live Wallpaper should work, I'll just have to monitor how it affects my battery...
@dcwiker05, I attached the pics I've used...
