Take your pic!!

damn, I got to have this one. Its so clean and professional looking. Like eye candy for me at least. Could you post a cab?

Just right click, save image as Welcomehead.96.png and replace the one in your /windows directory..

@envmyz
man you have talent! can you make some nice picture that will look nice on today screen with htc homeplug?

It's actually hard to create decent looking backgrounds with the touch today plugin, It blocks alot of the background.
This is what I have to go along with splash screens above.

Hey envmyz, would it be possible to get that background you created? Its really nice and clean and I want to use it on both my Wizard and my Hermes.
Cheers

Same to me! Great work. I want this to please.

Sure thing, glad everyone likes my work

Go install a free copy of GIMP for Windows. Isn't the most friendly program but works great when you figure it out. Easily lets you convert files between different graphic formats just by opening it, and then doing a save as and changing the extension. It will do the necessary conversions for you (changing to index, removing transparency, etc based on what the new format does or doesn't support).

Cool, thanks! Downloading it to try it out now

Hey guys, I get the problem that if I slide out my keyboard and the screen rotates, the background doesnt strech all the way over the screen, but I get one and a half backgrounds next to each other. This of course looks pretty crappy. Do more people have this problem, am I doing something wrong of is the file not set up to handle landscape mode of the device?
Something else, does anybody know if you can get a background file out of a theme (.tsk)? I've got a theme with a really nice background, but the rest of the theme sucks. I now want to use the standard WM6 theme with this background, but is there any way to retrieve this from the theme file?
Cheers

The reason it doesn't stretch is because these graphics are 240x320. You need either a 320x320 so that it will work in both portrait and landscape or both a 240x320 and a 320x240 version.
As for extracting the background, yes its easy... A .tsk is the same as a .cab, so use a tool to open it (cabwuz, or there is a free cab tool inside the core kitchen). In there you will find the stwater (and possibly tdywater) bitmap files. These are the backgrounds...

StarfieldModded LiveWallpaper

Hi Everyone,
Here is my first (modded) live wallpaper, all thanks to britoso and obviously the original creator, We Like CAPS!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

it works, but not perfectly. The background needs to be made tileable.
Things I had to do
1) uninstall the old apk.
adb uninstall -d com.kalicinscy.wallpaper.starfield
2) sign and then install this one.
adb install -r StarfieldLeopard.apk
3) enable "Background" in LWP settings.
Screenshot and apk attached.
edit: removed attachments.

thanks got it, when i have that working i will let you know. in the mean time can you check what happens if you put the full wallpaper in the assests/texture folder? maybe the width measurements i made on the first one was not adequate. Unless the exact measurements are coded in followed by making the image tilable. If that is the case, i will put some effort in to making a tilable version of the wall.
It might get really slow though!
click here
the file has to be renamed to starfield_04.png

I used the gimp's filters->map->make seamless tool and it helped a lot.
Its not perfect. Added a bluish version too.
edit: removed attachments.

thats awesome mate, i am a newbie here but already feeling good that senior guys are helping us out! You think you can recode the black stars to white though?

One final request bro,
>here<
is the final image i made using your gimp concept, it worked out well with a slight touch from ps cs4 , could you use this and attach the final apk for me.
Thanks
Below is a new colored icon aswell for the new starfieldlep edition!

All Done! ^Check the first post!! ^

can I check the source for problems?

really cool, i like this new bg than the original.
question, why are some star streaks black instead of white?

Are you finished working on this apk? I mean wallpaper.. The pictures are absolutely stunning. I dont have a N1 yet (42 more days till I do) and I could see this being a full-time wallpaper when I do get one.

I like this Live Wallpaper, but sometimes the app is closed with an error

is there any way that i can get the source so that i can work on errors in it?

Sorry guys for the late reply, but thanks, @samir5421 i downloaded the apk by googling as i have not rooted the n1, if you have a rooted version i am sure you can download the updated apk (starfield) from the market and fix the errors :S
I think the version I have downloaded was a pretty old build compared to the one that is up on the market right now. I am attaching the files I made changes to aswell as the original apk.
@cdmove, I am not actually any good with this, I am just a graphics designer and so i wish someone could get into the guts of this and change the black streaks to white as I have no knowledge on how to edit android resources yet.
>Wallpaper< assets/textures folder
>App Icon< res/drawable
Original APK attached below.

ok thanks. ill see what i can do. it will still probably require the uninstall since its the same app

I have noticed, that it's static animation, not random is used

yup and also the stars start of as black [blending into the original bg(b/w)], and move to white, which actually makes sense as or else there would be too many white dots on the screen popping up at the same time, but if its possible to change the gradient from black to white to white to white we could judge it for ourselves.

any fix yet on the fc's? i really like how this looks!

stars with background really slow. maybe you can change the star's background color instead of use an image.

[Q] Where is Wallpapper Gallery app?

Does anyone know the name of the Gallery Wallpaper app that is standard on the X10?
If so can I unpack it and modify it with my own wallpapers, and how?
Any info on this is much appreciated.

The wallpapers are in Launcher.apk
You can overwrite the current wallpaper images but I haven't figured out which file we need to modify to add to new wallpapers.

Why would you want to replace the sample wallpapers in the Launcher.apk,
instead of just throwing some images to your SD and selecting them as wallpapers?

So I don't have to use mediascape

Well, if it's just for a wallpaper, it's not that bad...
Besides changing the Launcher.apk is much more of a pita.
You have to extract it with ie: WinZip, then find the pictures (in the folder res/drawable), replace them with pictures of the exact same size and type then put the contents back in the apk, then, push it using adb on your mobile. That's kind of a hassle, huh?
Anyway, there is also the Flikie Wallpapers app, which once installed it pops up as an option when you want to change wallpaper, but I don't think it lets you use local files.
Maybe JustPictures! lets you use your local files, but haven't tried it.

I am not a fan either, but it does not bother me that much!! )

It doesn't actually bother me that much either , but I just like to be able to change my wallpaper in a couple of clicks and I don't want to install an app just for that (I'm a bit picky about what I install both on my PC and my phone).
Also all my wallpaper images are the correct size.
But, you are right, it would be a bit of a hassle to do all of that just to change the default wallpaper images But at the moment I'm updating the apk files all the time, so one more change doesn't make much of a difference

It's just a few clicks either way isn't it, and Mediascape comes preinstalled.

Yeah, I was referring to the other apps mentioned
You also don't have to resize if you use the wallpaper gallery.

Thanks for the fast response. Seems like the xml is encrypted in the launcher.apk. Anyway to decrypt that?

[CHT2 Widget]Nordpolcampers Pulse Clock Widget with 6 Layouts!

Hi Guys
I uploaded a folder which contains 6 subfolders in which are prepared images for the Plain Layout with different opacities I would recommend you donwload the folder, then unrar it and put it on your SD Card. Then you can choose the two images with the transpereny you wnat and just copy them into the windows directory
Opacities are : 90 , 70 , 50 , 30 , 10 , 0
The Folder can be downloaded here.
Well I updated the cab, so that now the positioning of the hour time in plain mode is a little more to the left. Also the issue of costumizing the mail and sms widgets has been selved. Furthermore thanks to dunc the xml file has been updated so it should switch flawlessly
After a long time and due to an amazing help of Dunc001 I am finally proud to present to you my very first Widget.
This is my Pulse Clock and I hope you enjoy using it.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The Clock comes with 6 different Layouts. Five of them are switching depending on the time it currently is. Its kind of like the luming up of a Clock
The first Layout Plain doesnt change, because there was no reason for making a dark background even darker
This Clock uses the same way of functioning like rat's Optimus Clock. It uses png's.
This makes it very easy for you to actually change the background of the Clock.
To accomplish that you just have to follow these simple steps:
- Make a png file with 512x256 pixels.
- Then Place what ever you want for the Background in the upper left corner of the image file.
- Of course you have to play around with the positioning to make it fit the clock.
- The Image you have created must be named :
npcPulseClockBackgroundPanelsAM.png <---This defines the picture beeing used between 6AM and 6PM
And:
npcPulseClockBackgroundPanelsPM.png <---This defines the picture beeing used between 6PM and 6AM
- It is necessary for you to make this two pngs. Otherwise it will change back to the original image I put inside the Widget
- If you have the images ready just copy them into your windows directory on your device, restart sense and you are done
----> BTW: This is a guide to change Layout 6: "Panels". If you need to edit more Layouts just ask, or take a look into the Cab.
To install this Widget just download the CAB and then install and perform a Softreset
The Widget has been tested and worked flawlessly^^
If any errors appear, just ask. But because I am quite new to this I may not be capable of answering all your questions, but as you know there are many awesome guys here at XDA's that will surely be able to help you, if I cant help you
Again once more:
Many Thanks to Dunc001!! Without him this would have never been possible for me to archieve
Well I hope you enjoy this Widget of mine and if you fell that way, then let me know by pressing my Thanks Button.​

Dunc made me aware of the fact, that the CHTS.xml isnt correct so there will be a new version of the Cab in some hours. For those of you that arent using CHTS, dont hesistate to use the current version, because it wont affect the widget in a noticable way

Wooowww looks awesome thanks

looks good desu~ ^^
Good job =)

Pretty awesome widget. Thanks for sharing...

I updated the thread aswell. Thank you

If you do end up trying it, please tell me what you do and don't like about the app here.

Hello,
I've tested your application and it is just as described. Plain and simple.
I might have a suggestion though. Make it optional to start in the list of notes instaid of the last edited note when you open the application.
I understand that you probably want to keep it simple, but there is something as TOO simple

Could you upload the apk and enable it for device with smaller DPI/screen size? I'm running ICS on my old Xperia x10 Mini Pro and I want to see if this is better or worse than HoloPad...

Thanks for the tips.
I didn't even know it had a screen size restriction. Ill look into it. Thank you.

here's the apk i downloaded directly from market if anyone needs it

App runs fine on my phone. Thanks for the upload.
As suggested, it should go to the saved notes on app start, not the last edited note.

Please rate the application to make it available for users. : )

Thanks for sharing your app! I just now downloaded and installed via Play, so i am yet to even open the app. I have one suggestion as of right now : Make A NEW Icon. Maybe make it white with a blue "n" or blue with a white "n". Just have to get rid of that green!!!

The icon isn't terrible, however I wouldn't mind a revamped alternative.

Please add a black theme if you get time

Ok I used the app for couple of days and im loving it but here are my 2 suggestion that I think would improve the app..
1. Auto back up every 1,3,7,15 days ect its a life saver
2. Widget for easy access

Thanks for the tips guys. Ill consider every tip. If theres more people who'd like certain functions, please tell me. Though the whole idea of the app is to keep it minimalistic, if I can add something good and light, I will. Besides, apk size matters.

Yeah, I love the framework. I'll make a pre ICS version as soon as I'm done with my exams. Sorry for the slow work. Too much school makes me a dull guy. Hopefuly the app is okey for now until I get around to update it.
Also, its open source, so if anyone would like to help out just PM or mail me.
