[Live Wallpaper] VR Tunnel

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?

I'm impressed! It shows a lot of promise and I'll enjoy seeing how this develops.

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.

Honeycomb Style Lock-screen

Hey all,
Want a HONEYCOMB style lockscreen?
Try this one. It looks really close, if not the same.
Works for 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.3.3
GSM & CDMA
*Known bugs
Some user experience a "double lockscreen" this is being worked on. This bug is on all versions paid or free. Reboots sometimes works, or stop the lockscreen and start it again from in app settings.
works landscape and portrait.
SRRY, forgot to ad the thanks, until reminded. Thanks, SunPengfei
I have found that this version works best in our tabs.
Feel free to update through market, but, again,I found this earlier version works best.
Enjoy.
Or get the paid version on the market, although I dont see any difference. (especially if your rom has an adblocker or adfree)
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HAVE HELPED

owh dude , i'm confuse right now . you should add the app with the other thread , and name it some goodies for the buddies .. i'll try it and give u feedback

OP, is this something you've put together yourself? or somebody elses work you're posting?
If its the latter then make sure to give the appropriate credit where its due.
Cheers.

I allways do, not one to take someones hard work and claim it, post updated with thanks.
Thank you for pointing it out that I forgot to ad thanks.
ps, is your nin theme available for htc desire?

WOW! This was what i was looking for (I just really wanted an auto rotating lockscreen) !
I've found a few things:
The status bar is still openable
There isn't an option to make the wallpaper see-through. Meaning we cannot see the live wallpaper beneath it.
The lock circle gets cut off when moved to extreme points.
Not deal breakers and considering its actually pretty good as is, I can live with those things maybe there will be fixes and additional features!
Thanks!

Yeah I'm much the same. Widget locker is in the inner circle with root explorer and titanium backup ect... it does the job, has a million themes/skins extra and works well.

I'd like very much..thanks ssserpentine
is that possible to make it as default home/standard lockscreen? if can, how?
cause after i'm installing it, i can only used when it run or lock the screen manually, not after reboot.

best lockscreen ever! please more options/settings...

[DISCUSSION]Post your wishes for android 5.0 aka KeyLimePie !!!

Preface :
Well i know that its too early to call android 5.0 keylimepie and all (or is it ? ) but just for the time being let it be so the title says the rest
Aim :
To let people post there wishes on what Google should alter or add into the latest and greatest version of their mobile operating system when it comes out some time next year !
Aftermath :
Nothing no Google employees are ever gonna see this but we'll get to know what people are expecting which may help us better judge KLP when it comes out
Well i have a long list of wishes too but i need a physical keyboard to type em all out so I'll edit this post with my wishes are soon as i reach home
Wait ....
Are there similar threads ? - no worries just report and delete this one - i mean no offense just wanted to gather more info from a creative discussion
Thanks for viewing !

To be honest it is unlikely it will be called key lime pie i am saying that because of what many users have found in the jelly bean easter egg looks more like kandy kane or something similar
im what Willis was talking about

My first wish is please change the name other than key lime pie... If sounded repeatedly it feels like some chinese words or something. lol.
i wish google could reduce the OS battery consumption.

Then your probably in luck as there are reports of Google introducing project road runner which is aimed at increasing overall battery life

Yes i heard about it before, but i haven't search about it until you mention it.
It would be great if android smartphones can last 1-2 days longer with daily usage.

My wish would be to make all the worth while apps FREE for everyone for a day"only joking?". Would like to see more apps for photosphere to work along side with. Would like to see all the advertising removed from all apps. I would like more interactive ideas with say tv that works flawlessly and not so much fuffing around, 'dear me im sounding like an applesaurus!!" And yeah Roadrunner sound the business I'd like that, kinda smooth and chill out name!!!!

Don't think there is anything Google can do to increase battery life beyond a certain extent - oem's must come up with some sort of innovation !

I want app data sync (that works) so I can play a game on my tablet and continue on my phone
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

Since they have a new "Chrome" (really some other alloy) statue at MountainView, maybe it'll be called Khronium. Android 5.0 Khronium sounds so cool xD.....but yea it'd break the dessert line...but maybe it'll be so epic it HAS to break the usual naming convention.
I want to see these features:
Root Access choice by default
Lockscreen Customization by default
Group MMS by default
A more Gesture based interface like Ubuntu...(xD copying isn't so bad >.> ) or at least a new UI that has the different Settings, and such, much more consolidated to reduce the need to press this, then that, then this, then back to that.
Google Play Music upgraded to include basic and advanced music features, as extensive as the Sony Walkman app for example and built into the Stock ROM with full voice controls like Samsung's music app
Stock file manager with root access
Revamped and fully functional Google Docs integrated into the OS completely.
Full Desktop Experience when docked would be cool.
Features that are more outlandish:
Insta-Porting. Instantly port the latest AOSP version of Android to any device. (rofl yea to the right)

Better keyboard layout...commas are hidden away and I can't remember the number of times I accidentally clicked "Go" when trying to press the backspace key.

[APP][FREE][1.6+] Vecorder Height Scanner

Just released Vecorder, a new free android app for estimating the height of objects! Move along the object and let the app derive the height difference through the acceleration sensors of your device! Would love to here some feedback about this app, especially the success/failure rates of your height scans.
Try it out through Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mathfactory.vecorderfree

Nice idea!
Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Desire. but I guess that's because the device is quite old - once I lift the phone it just keeps on counting and counting.

not bad,it worx perfectly and the height is right i have test many times.hve rated 5stars in store.:good:

Thanks for your feedback and the rating!

Well, the method *should* work also with older phones (if the acceleration sensors are not extraordinarily crappy or damaged). After some researching it turns out there could be another interesting explanation for those "runaway"-countings: The sound speakers sometimes seem to irritate the acceleration sensors when playing sounds too loud (through sound vibrations). The start signal played by the app could then be interpreted as a movement by the sensors. So, you could try to mute the sound before making a scan. And leave a message if that was the reason.
I will address this issue in an app update the next days by reducing/removing the sounds while sensors are active.
Stay tuned.

Released Vecorder v1.1
Released v1.1 of Vecorder on Google Play. Changelog for this version:
- Shortened start signal to prevent acoustic interference on acceleration sensors
- Slightly improved standstill detection
Keep vecording!

Nice idea. Worked perfectly on my HTC one . Pretty nice result for an estimate. Thanks for sharing the app
Edit: my suggestion would be to add option for metrics/us measurement. I personally use cm; but some people might like option for inch

Thanks for your suggestion! I have implemented your idea in Vecorder 1.2 available as of today with support for the metric and the imperial unit system.

The new version of Vecorder has some adjustments to prevent such runaway readings. Also please try to follow the procedure description given in the app or the google play page. Runaway readings especially do occur if you don't move the device along the force of gravity. If you've done everything correct and it still doesn't work with the new version please report back!

I've updated the app, it's now possible to automatically disable Internet connection or vibration & sounds during working sessions.

New update: 2.3+ support, new "Share App" button and many bugfixes!

Wow! I'm blown away
This is an absolute keeper. The design of the icon, interface, and overall UX is just spot on!
Question: How did you do the "send anonymous data"?

Just what I was looking for! Thanks a lot

Awesome Work! App is just surprisingly good!

I've been looking for something like this. Very simple and neat. Please keep it that way!

NEW Icon !!
Hello OP, Im really liking this app of yours. Great Job! :good:
I got bored and decided to make you a little something.. let me know if you like it.
i can always change it to match something else, like take off the shadows or change the color, ect.

Wow this would be very helpful..! I really need something like this Thanks Andrea

I really like this app! Great, clean graphics.

great!
This app is great, thanks! But i am wondering, could you make a hardcore mode for your app? Like you cant exit from app, you cant do anything, there is only the timer? Aah! I know, a lockscreen mod? Until the time ends, you cant unlock your phone, even if your work finished... that would be fun! Also like a desk clock mode, zero brightness etc? have nice day, good job :3

Lovin' It
..Thanks to you i can study better for my exams (which are due on 28th JAN ) ..Thanks a lot mate :victory:

I think having this option would be a great idea, for us with really poor self discipline.
I´ve been actually thinking about looking for an app that would do just this. I´ll try it right away!
Does anybody know if there is a similar freeware program for PC? Say, you can block certain urls so they can´t be accessed during a period of time etc...

This app is exactly what I need. In addition it is really simple and have nice UI. Thank you!

I think cizkek have a loot of good ideas.
My own propositions: lookscreen mod with timer on it (just one touch to check it) and option to hide notification bar while timer is going.

Did not think it would, but this alternating work-break really helps me concentrate on studies. Thanks a lot.
