[Live Wallpaper] 3D Active Blocks **updated 5/22/11 **.

This is my first android active opengl 3D wallpaper. Its tilt sensitive and when you touch the wallpaper it causes a ripple effect in the blocks. I have some options to remove the random z axis movement and two different block textures.
I’ve only tested it on my nexus one, and I’m looking for feedback(ideas) and how it runs on other active wallpaper enabled devices.
Thank for trying it out.

Why it asks permissions for Storage and Phone calls?

I have installed it on my HTC Desire and it seems to be working fine.

obvious question is... how's the batterly life since it uses the sensors?

I'm looking into why its wanting those permissions, because the only one I use is ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER for object selection screen buffer writing.
Also I'm working on custom texture selection, which gives you the abillity to use any picture for the textures.
As for battery life, my wallpaper stops running when its not in view so that should help battery life.

Version 3 updated, many new features and effects, see first post for details.

Added video preview see first post for link.

Looks very nice.

cool idea, but it needs higher quality images to start. maybe some additional settings to tweak the users experience?

Looks cool. going to give it a try.

How to remove this??????
for my dext it's tooooo heavy
can't find any way.. hmmm
edit.
es file xplorer can't find it but standard app remover yes... sorry (however nice app )

So I downloaded the app for my HTC Desire and sent it to me through mail. I installed the app and it said that it was installed. But I can't seem to find the app anywhere in my app list, anyone knows why?

I tried this out, it seems to be pretty cool, but on the Droid X it seems to tile images. Maybe it is set to work with a certain pixel size image and tiles them if they are over that size?

You can remove this when you go to settings --> Aplications --> Manage applications --> All
it should be in that list

It's a live wallpaper, not an app. You set it as a wallpaper. That's why the thread starts with [Live Wallpaper]
Hehe.

Very cool. Woul love to pick an album, rather than just a single picture from my gallery. Perhaps picking a set number of pics would be ok, also.

lwp
I have never had a problem installing apps before, some reason with this i get an error saying that no app can be found to install it. Any ideas?

im a noob to all of this.. what steps need to be taken to get this onto your device? galexy s, vibrant to be exact

Its a cool live wallpaper its just makes my nexus choppy as hell, also I dont like the fact when you restart your phone and have a custom image the screen comes back on all white. Otherwise its pretty damn cool.

Very nice concept mate, works flawlessly on my SGS

Thanks for the work, Nim
is there any internal tweaks that you have added? MIUI got too bloated for our Milestone IMO...

This support with zeppelinrox supercharge?
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk

i didnt include it. i`ll see what i can do next week.

Is this based on your update to DannyDroid's MIUI version or Galnet? And what's the difference anyway?
Which MIUI-flavor would you recommend in terms of stability and speed?
Thanks for your hard work - good to see new dev's working on the stone!

it is based on miuiandroid version with the usual improvements (ext2, for example.).
i thought of using galnet version but since miui is a closed source, galnet can`t really do much with it. and, it comes with unnecessary apps.
anyway, i`m still new to this and i hope to improve with each version

thanks do you how to enable 5 point multitouch in miui?
another question for hardware keyboard, when i press alt+g its output is "-" not "%",same for all others, can u fix this?

nim, why don't you combine your ROM with hebmiui ROM?
it could be very helpfull
or at least explain to us how do you app2ext on miui, I couldn't make it, thats why I'm using your ROM, wich is very good btw!
Checking the new one for few days and will reply. seems nice and smooth!

Just flashed this ROM today because i wanna try out something new
first, i'm very impressed by its speed. though it's by no mean as fast as CM7 and FM, it is fast for a MIUI rom. The horrible lags that pretty much killed MIUI for me are not there (or maybe there but are subdued somewhat). So if super high speed is not one of your concern, you can flash this rom for a change
Other than that, I will have to further test it and see how. it's not laggy so much as to push me back to my CM nandroid :x

Hi Melchizedeck,
you should try neogeo bios and roms from rom-world.com (but not the neogeo ones, the mame ones). I'll try to add debug output on rom loading for next release.

No idea how to set it up, i try to load a rom and it just flashes a screen with the controls for a sec and its back to the rom list
I already have the bios in the same dir as roms

Works for me! Metal Slug on the go without using my PSPGO! Thanks bro!

no idea what im doing wrong... too late for a refund... please help me!
My roms are zipped and detected, they work fine on pspgo and neorage

No problem for a refund mauaus, just send me your order number.
I did try mslugx.zip and ssideki.zip and both worked here. You should (if you have the time) download neogeo.zip from rom world and mslugx.zip from there too to be sure (the mame version one).
Can i also ask what is your device?

[HACK][WORKAROUND][UPDATED]LCD Density workaround for market apps compatibility.

ok, so im running cm7(void # forever) on my optimus one with the latest market 3.4.4 & since something i tried out worked for me & my wife(running stock 2.3.4 on her samsung galaxy fit(GT-S5670)@100dpi) thought i should share this in case it helps.did not see it anywhere on xda when i searched so hoping that i did not post a already done topic in a new thread.
this is my first post so if i screw this up feel free to bash me
this is what u need to do step by step:
a)use root explorer or any other similar file explorer to go to the root of your device
b)scroll down to find the "system" directory & select to enter the folder
c)once inside remount system directory from read/only(r/o) to read/write(r/w)....(as shown in image 1 & 2)
d)scroll down to the build.prop file & long press for options and then select "open in text editor" (as shown in image 3 & 4)
e)once inside your build.prop,scroll down to find the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" (as shown in image 5)
f)my device has a default density of 160 and as you can see i changed it to 140 so go ahead & set the density you want for your device
g)now just save the changes & exit(image 6)
h)as you exit you will be notified that your original build.prop has been backed up to a file named "build.prop.bak" & you will find it right there in the system directory(image 7)
i did move this file out of the system directory & placed it on my sdcard!! didnt want any extra files or backups with the default settings in them just lying there you know!!!! just in case!!!! dont really know whether that matters any bit at all
now reboot your device & your dpi has changed. go into market & see if all the apps that are compatible with your device are still showing so.
note: the only catch is that apps(e.g ZIP Themer) that do not scale well will NOT,as the whole "compatibility mode on/off" option in LCD density changer app is ignored here. just gotta make your peace with that.
i attached some screenshots of the market showing apps in full & functional compatibility on my device running @ 140dpi
(UPDATE) Apps Installing despite market showing incompatibility
Ok, so my wife was fidgeting around in the market & she showed me something amazing. apps that should be compatible but are not can be still installed. apparently my precious hack was not 100% effective A few apps still showed incompatibility. But they can be installed too. Here's how you do it.
a)go to settings, select applications & then select manage applications.
b)find and select market & then select clear cache(trust me its needed)
Now you can go & search your desired app in the market
c)Choose the app and hit install before the whole app page loads,as in, the screenshots, reviews & details etc.
d)Choose accept & install and voila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are installing an incompatible.
Attached some screenshots for proof!!!!!!!!!!!
This doesnt work anymore so if any of u wanna fix market compatibility issues please refer this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20624277&postcount=13
its not my work so please thank the op for his efforts on this if & when it worls for u

If you have a rooted phone, you can change LCD density using nitrality app
available in the market.

didnt know of it, thanks!!! but are market apps still compatible after you change the dpi settings on the new market?

I don't understand how this is a workaround. All that's done in OP is the dpi's changed in build.prop (which is what most apps/custom roms do anyway). Any apps that would be incompatible still are. Am I missing something?

i was talking about market apps that are compatible with a particular device becoming incompatible once you change your device's default display density to any other value.

I don't understand how it works but it works great for me! No more problems installing updates or new apps... Only did my updates that weren't working before and tried installing a few things so not sure it works for everything, but for what I wanted it's great!

OMG - someone fixed the market compatibility issue with non-standard LCD resolutions!!
well HALLELUJAH!!
below is the market app for the fix - this developer is apparently a GENIUS, being the first person on EARTH to SOLVE this frustrating issue! - I have tested it out on my G2 and it ROCKS!!

[ROM] Nick's Phone Compiled From Oxy/Roalex With Mods [15.08.2012]

Nick's Phone V1.0 Based on Oxygen and Built From Roalex Sources
First of all, big thanks to AdamG, _thalamus, Roalex, everyone at Cyanogen, ihlades and everyone else who helps the desire! (And others I've forgot!)
I wasn't going to build Android from source because I knew it would grip me and consume me but I couldn't help it! I've been building Oxygen and Roalex from source and have added in my own changes in to both. I've settled on Roalex because it has more patches and updates than I can be bothered to add in manually! (I don't use github, all my changes are done offline etc)
Anyway, the ROM is based on Roalex's source code for his Wip branch as of the beginning of August with:
Lockscreen calendar - with the next 3 appointments shown up to 1 week in advance
Lockscreen Music controls - appear when music is playing and screen is locked, ONLY WORK WITH STOCK GINGERBREAD MUSIC PLAYER! (for some reason). They do work with Winamp but it sometimes mixes up play / pause modes. Not sure why but I prefer the stock player as it's lightweight and themed with my own mods
Lockscreen Torch - long press the home button to enable the torch (I use this so much I had to have it!)
Swipe Away Last Notification and Close Notification Tab - Bit of a gimmick but I liked it!
Fix alarm snooze / dismiss unlocking the screen - Cyanogenmod has this but Oxygen didn't, so I added it. Basically when you dismiss your alarm it unlocks your screen! Which is annoying!
+ My own ICS based theme I've done. Please see screenshots.
All my changes are hard coded in and CANNOT be turned off. Sorry, I could add in the ability to turn them off but this is based on what I want and use so I didn't want the ability to turn them off because I don't want to!
I've also added my own Go Launcher ICS theme, Go Widgets Theme and my calendar ICS theme for Android Pro Widgets.
I've used Holo Launcher as the default launcher and have modified this also, with some graphical changes I prefer!
I've also added in a modified stopwatch & timer app themed by me.
There's also:
720p HW Playback
Trackpad to wake (NOT to unlock)
SDCard buffer modified to 1024KB
T9 Dialler
I've decided not to add in any build.prop tweaks as I'm not convinced they do anything! Or do very little, so I've done none of those this time but anyone is welcome to add them in if you choose to.
As with all my ROMS, this is provided "as is" and no warranty is given or implied, so you can use at your own risk.
If anyone notices any bugs / issues then please let me know or post here!
Anyway, enjoy!

You can choose where to install your apps (same as Mildwild V4.3).
As per the instructions for MW's ROM (thanks SydBarret55), If you want apps on sd-ext:
1. Activate sd-ext:
Go to Setting>Applications>Development
Check SD-EXT
Reboot phone
2. Choose the default location for applications:
Go to Settings > Applications > Preferred install location
Choose sd-ext
Or go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25430232&postcount=3812
You can also move apps individually:
Settings > Applications > Manage applications
Touch the app you want to move, and then touch where you want the app to go e.g. Move to Phone, Move to SD-Ext (EXT3 or EXT4 partition) or Move to SD card (Fat 32 partition).
Again, the link above has screenshots to show you what to do.

Downloading as we speak. Will give this a try.
*edit*
Has this rom got any sort of A2SD built in?

Looks great! I'm about to try. Thank you!

Looks good and pretty!
What ICS theme are you using?
Thanks

It's basically a mix from the original ICS ROM, Sonny's amazing CM7 theme and some of my own work from all over the place! Like the circle battery mod is taken from the online kitchen (or from dGB by SUroot, can't remember where!) and modified to blue and grey by me. Most the notifications have been colour coded to blue by me and when you press menu, I've tried to colour code all those icons to white as well.
It's taken a long time to get to where it is but like I've posted before, I'm keeping my desire for another 8 months or more so want it to be the way I like it (and hopefully others do as well!)

Flashed this last night and i'm really impressed with it.
It's super quick. Even booting it up only takes about 10 seconds!
*edit*
Is there any way to change the clock colour to white? I've done theme using the UOT Kitchen and the blue clock doesn't look right.

I would have thought there's a way to do it in the Kitchen but if not you will need to use APKtool to decompile the framework-res.apk file unfortunately.
You can decompile it and edit the following bit in styles: (under res\values\styles.xml)
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:textSize">14.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff39b6e7</item> <--------------- change this to ffffffff
</style>
Or you can do it this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9978779#post9978779
You just need to follow the bit that says notification, date and time (decompiling the systemui.apk file).
Cheers,
Nick

Far too complicated for me :silly: i'll leave it how it is.

Excellent work.
I love the symbols of the notification power widget. Just out of curiosity, what exactly did you change/theme regarding the "Holo Launcher"? I've been using the launcher for several weeks now but can't notice any difference.

Great work!
Is there a stand alone Lockscreen Music Control patch for oxygen 2.3.2?
Thanks!

Tanks for this new Rom and for your work . I try it now.
Is your Rom multi-langages ?

i'm still running your previous rom, and i'm super happy with it. still super quick and rock stable. i hope this new rom is the same. :fingers-crossed:

I've only really changed a few things, mainly when you press menu the screen is transparent with a white border, instead of solid grey. Also when you press and hold on an icon, thats transparent and has a white border instead of just being solid grey and also when you go into a folder that's transparent with a white border. I've also made the return to desktop icon in the launcher brighter white and changed the play icon to ics blue instead of the semi-transparent white.
Not big changes but I prefer consistency!

I've not created one no, sorry. But it would be possible to do I'm sure. I think all the changes I made for lockscreen controls are in the framework-res location so a patch would be possible, but I won't be doing one, sorry.

It should be as it's based on the original oxygen / roalex sources and they are multi-language. Please let me know how the lock screen calendar looks because there's a string I changed in values for how the date is displayed, such as:
core/res/res/values/donottranslate-cldr.xml
<string name="abbrev_wday_month_day_no_year">E MMM d</string>
But I ONLY added this to values, not values-es and values-it etc etc so I hope Android will default to english and not crash if there's no language specific change. EG:
core/res/res/values-de/donottranslate-cldr.xml
<string name="abbrev_wday_month_day_no_year">E, d. MMM</string>
I presume it just means the date will be formated in UK format and not Spanish, but should still display correctly. Hopefully someone can let me know or post a screenshot to see if there's any issues.
EDIT: Just changed my language a few times and the lockscreen didn't crash or anything it displayed the date but I'm not sure if it's doing it wrong, but it looked OK but I only speak English unfortunately!

If there's a serious bug or update and there's a need to update the Tom then I will do yeah. But I wont be releasing minor graphical changes because the rom is pretty much where I want it graphically.
As for the kernel, I recommend the one that's in the rom as its thalamus' r4 release which is the latest one but has roalex's patch for call recording. If you want things neat you could flash thalamus' standard kernel on top but I expect that would break KSM if you use it (I don't)

Ok. Im staying on this rom i like it ! Tnx

Now that you've mentioned it, what are the benefits or using KSM?
I've read a bit about it but, as with compcache, swap and that kind of things, I never find to understand the "pros and cons", and usually dind't feel big differences when enabling and disabling.
Thanks!

I don't use it to be honest and I would doubt you would find much benefit from turning it on. I think it's mainly for when you're running virtual machines on a single host or if you run lots of similar processes on the same host.
So I imagine if you could make 2 calls at once and put one on hold while talking to the other etc then KSM might be able to use parts of that process and merge them in memory, potentially saving memory (totally hyperthetical here!). However, it's probably very minimal gains versus the time it takes for your phone to keep analysing memory pages to merge them!
And in theory, your phone should release memory used for processes once they've finished so even if you did save memory by using KSM in this hyperthetical situation, when you end both calls you should get the memory used released and back available anyway!
I think it only helps to run / do more things at once rather than get speed benefits because if 2 processes need the same memory page again it will create a copy and you have 2 un-merged pages again and more memory used up.
Someone more techy might provide a better insight but in a phone I would say it's not necessary. On a hyperV server running 20 virtual hosts I would say yes!
