[Live Wallpaper] Awesome Snow - Android Apps and Games

Hi Folks,
This is my first try at a live wallpaper I hope you like it!
You can adjust the amount of snow, the speed, the size and set a background gradient colour
EDIT you can now set a custom picture background
Here it is in action.

I like it. Wish I didn't have to accept an offer to change the settings, but very nice.

Thanks MJS. The advert only appears once, you shouldn't have to see any after that ever again.
I was experimenting if adverts would be a way to allow me to continue developing apps and give them away for free. For the moment the answer is a resounding NO . I've made exactly $0 from 250+ downloads.
Oh Well

christmas comes early !.. nice LW!

Hehe Thanks! We had our first snow shower of the winter here in Northern Ireland last night, so it feels appropriate

this is so nice (i need 10 posts)
but it looks fine, besides its rainy here.

looks good. can I set a picture as a backround for it?

Hi RomBox,
Not at the moment, just a gradient background. It is something I'd like to add though.
All the best,
Ash

great! really gives the christmas feel, it has yet to snow in NC although it has been cold!

Thanks Darken,
@mjs, I've removed the need to click an advert to configure the wallpaper, I just have a small link to my Awesome Widgets app, but it isn't necessary to click it to enjoy the wallpaper in full.
Happy Holidays!
Ash

Very cool, thanks mate!

Is there any Live Wallpaper snow that user can change background to their own?

It looks good, but it's not free!
All the best,

very nice! Setting own Background would be great

I have some freelance work to do at the moment, but hopefully after that I will add an option to set a background

Just downloaded it, my favorite christmas wallpaper.
There is some banding on the Galaxy S2, rated a 4 for now hopefully that can be fixed.

Thanks for the rating and reporting the problem, I'll have a look into it. I was pretty sure I had turned on dithering (to remove banding), but I'll have another look. My brother has an S2, so hopefully he can test it for me.
Is the banding in the configuration or on the wallpaper itself?
All the best,
Ash

I think it's in the wallpaper its self because I haven't noticed on other screens or wallpapers. I've attached some screenshots where you can see it hopefully that helps you figure it out. Thank you for the great support.

post your fave live wallpaper

thought i would start up a thread, since i didn't see one up in the first six pages...
past faves = starfield, earth live
current fave = waves wallpaper. little floaty boat that moves depending on how i hold the phone, on constantly moving waves, with little dolphins, planes, and more background animation. probably heavier on the battery than some others, but i like it enough i'm going to keep it a while
andwobble ftw lol
do i need to answer

Been using Earth Live for the longest time. I am on NexusMod currently.
I have been alternating those two for now.
I've always like the Nexus Live wallpaper and the mods people are doing just make it better and better.
earth live wallpaper
although i use the NexMod Live Wallpaper right now, until the next awesome version of earth live
I really like the Bezier one. Simple and pretty. I find most Live Wallpapers (such as NexusMod) lags the system a little bit.
ShakeThemAll - Android dolls with physics
Too much fun with this one!!!
Caught between Logcat Live Wallpaper and Earth Live Wallpaper. I think everybody knows about the Earth one, but I suggest everyone check out the Logcat one, it shows a current logcat output as your wallpaper. It is fully awesome. Check it out.
seeds of life and the fireworks one. i also liked the waves but it seemed to kill my battery much more.
HeyTalderon,
What Weather Widget skins are you using in your screenshot you posted? I like the theme of it.
Andwobble, by far my new fav.
live waterpaper, you can put the photo you want in background, I put my daughter photo, it's pretty nice

[APP][LWP] BioHazard ROM | Accepting Requests And Inspirations

Live Wallpaper
Hey guys (and girls?),
I've made a new Mod/App
This is a live wallpaper especially made for the great BioHazard ROM by hypnos17!
It is based on the "PhaseBeam" live wallpaper that comes with most of the ICS roms.
I modified the PNGs and the smali files.
It is installable like a normal apk and does not replace the PhaseBeam Live Wallpaper coming with CM9.
---------------------
If you want a Live Wallpaper based on PhaseBeam (or other Live Wallpapers included in AOSP) i'm happy about requests and inspirations
and i hope i can make it like you want. :good:
Just post them in this thread!
---------------------
Installation:
- Dowload attached APK and install

As I have already said I'd prefer a darker theme... black or dark-gray background with yellow or red hazard logos.
keep up the work!

good idea, but i could also use other symbols you like, it souldn't be made for BioHazard only
cool thread!
Hey man. I have a idea for a live wallpaper and i was wondering if you could make it.
I really like the phase beam idea. You know, with the moving bubbles. But i also like the spectrum lwp, which reacts to music. And i listen a lot of music.
So could you make a lwp based on phase beam, which reacts on music. Or a phase beam kinda wallpaper which automatically starts the spectrum wallpaper when music is started?
I know. Sound complicated. I dont know if it is possible, but i hope you can make it!

While this LWP is very neat, it seems to consume a lot of battery, a lot more than most LWPs. Anyone else noticing this or is it just my phone?

I haven't noticed any significant battery loss on my HTC one x. I'm not sure what the problem is. Are you using parallax? It will use a little more battery than without it.
Just released version 1.25
Code:
Version 1.25
-Changed rendering method of wallpaper to improve battery and performance. If there are any problems let me know.
-Removed wireframe mode(incompatible with new render method)
-Fixed user presets not saving
Can anyone tell me if they notice any problems?
The full version is currently 40% off for a limited time!

Hi everyone,
I have recently uploaded PhoneUsage, an app that keeps track of how much time you spend in your phone and which are the apps you use the most.

Still a junior member, cannot add links yet. Simply search for PhoneUsage in the playstore, its among the top results!
Give it a try!
Thanks

Downloaded. Looks interesting. I just love a good stat every now and again!
Not too sure about the colour scheme though. White background and a material design would make it a lot better.

Hi,
Thanks for giving it a try and for your feedback.
Actually the color scheme is dynamic, it will change according to how much you used your phone (from green, yellow to red).
But I could easily add an option to disable the colored background! Will bear that in mind for future updates.
Cheers
good
Look also interesting...

Oh i see. I must have missed that function.
One other thing, on my chart, the text is very small and quite hard to read. I have a note 4 so the screen is big anyway but the text is still small.

Thanks for the feedback. Now you can keep track of which are the games you spend more time on!
And I think it's pretty interesting when after some time you can have a look of how much time you spent in those games, I remember reaching 2 our 3 days of active gameplay within a couple of months!

[APP][4.0+] Kolrs 1.43 - HD Wallpaper Generator

Update: V1.43 is avaliable with better looking effects, and a new one called Blurry Vision.
--
Hi, I have just released my first app "Kolrs", and so any initial feedback is very welcome. The UI is a bit plain in this initial release, but the functionality is quite okay.
Basically you generate super sharp HD wallpapers (no JPEG encoding loss), using different effects, and then set it instantly - no browsing and downloading needed!
Some effects do needs tweaking, certainly the color schemes - but some of the generated wallpapers looks really nice.
Get it free on Google Play : Kolrs - HD Wallpapers App
Thanks, any feedback greatly welcome!

GOOD JOB , nicely build
This is a really neat app.
It would be nice to see some darker colours though , but I like it. Nice job
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Labs
Thanks DaksAnkit and golfgtiedition30! Really glad you like it - regarding darker colors, I am looking to make the colors more stable and always nice. Maybe even an advanced more with color choosings of some sort.
Nice app
agreed cool app thank you
Thanks both - I hope to have v1.01 out soon. I have another nice effect planned.
I have now released version 1.2. Now you can redo an effect instantly by tapping the middle section of the screen. Also, all effects have been reworked and a new one, Glow, has been added. Feel free to try it.
Wallpaper gerenation is great idea !
How did you make that?

Hm thanks for the crash report iRYO400 - I think it was unresponsive UI due to the amount of time Avantgarde takes, so its not a crash per se. :|
I just updated the app now with a new effect called Trifecta and bette colors btw - try it out - its v1.22.
V1.3 added with info and new screenshot in the first post.
Did not find a way to edit the thread title I believe.
Edit : found out :|
Update; V1.43 is avaliable with better looking effects, and a brand new one called Blurry Vision.

Hey, I tried your app and it indeed generates nice wallpapers! Something I miss is to be able to lock specific colors or tones in the generation.

Thanks Hatros; The goal is to be able to lock / real time change hue's in a future release. Glad you found it valuable.
Nice application, congrats!
At first i was like "hm.." but playing around with it i really enjoyed it. Easy to use and fun playing with it - nice app!
