Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of live wallpapers. I love the idea, but in practice I've never found one that suits my taste and is compelling enough to stay on my device for more than a few minutes. That changed today with Cypher Cove's release of Audio Glow to the Play Store.
Audio Glow is actually a stand-alone app with a similarly named LWP companion which also launched today. The app is a music visualizer, which in itself is not so exciting. What makes this app exciting is that it isn't just a music visualizer – it's one that's beautiful, functional, and extremely customizable.
Basically, the app (or LWP, as the case may be) reacts to sound from any other app on your device (though its main target is music). It does this with colorful bars and little glowing particle specks that float around and can react to your touch. The app is simple in concept, and executed brilliantly with a ton of customization options. (Don't believe me? Just look at the screenshot on the far right below.) Users can change bar shape, color, particle density, whether bars and particles react to touch, the app's zoom level, its default music app target, and so much more.
In use, the colored bars bounce up and down as you'd expect, the particles drift lazily through the screen, and the artist name and song title smoothly slide together and apart.

This is a fun app, and an even better live wallpaper – one that can stand on its own even when no music is playing. Did I mention that Tasker and Locale users can use their saved visualizer themes and set them to trigger in response "to almost anything you can imagine"?

Hi everyone!
Recently I've created my first Android app and today I'd like to introduce it!
TimeCounter is a simple stopwatch and timer application. It was developed to be as simple and user friendly as possible yet still elegant and appealing. The great thing about this app is that you can run and control stopwatch and timer independently at the same time and swipe easily between them. Stopwatch offers all the necessery funcionalities such as split time and lap time. Timer has a neat scrolling animation which gives you the sense of time passing by. A simple notification icon is displayed when the app is running in the background. Moreover TimeCounter features buch of other options accessible through settings menu (changing alarm tone and volume, disabling animations and notification etc.).
Great features:
Simple and elegant
Control Timer and Stopwatch independently
Split time, lap time
Scrolling animation
Notification icon
Changable alarm tone
Keep screen on while running
Here's a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.lksoft.timecounter
It has internet premission for ads that display only in settings menu so they don't seem aggressive.
Any comment is appreciated
Hope you like it! :laugh:

Clean and beautiful UI. I liked it.

Silk Paints is one of these apps that you have opened just to take a look at and now don’t know how to turn away.
The main feature of Silk Paints is its magical brushes.
Drawing process dazzles as well as presentations of the result. By the way you can create magic live wallpaper right in the app. Drawing masterpieces in Silk Paints is easy!
There are four sets of brushes for which you’ll have to pay a pair of ducats. But it's worth it! In-app gallery with our lovely user’s paintings confirms it.
Press the "Play" button to see how your masterpieces come to life. Lines of your drawing are twisting in a magical vortex smoothly appearing on the screen. It’s gorgous! Creators offer to speed up the presentation with help of a multibrush feature and immediately get a large portion of magic.
Drawings look attractive on the black background. If it suddenly seems boring to you use any picture or photo from your phone’s gallery as a background or one of 12 textures proposed by developers.
Crystals - is the local currency in the app. You can get it as a reward for your drawings and likes in social networks. Exchange them for backgrounds or arts from the gallery.
Minimalistic design does not distract you from drawing and the result is always beautiful.
In a word it’s a great app for some kind of meditation and discovering of creativity, which perfectly completes the collection of computer artists and drawing fans.
Has the magic of Silk Paints already captured you?

I'm a new developer in the Android market, and I'd like to present Shape and Light. It's a free, casual entertainment app which I describe as a sandbox of light and motion in which to play and produce something beautiful. You get a shape, some colorful lights, and a gravity ring or two in a deceptively simple interactive space where you can produce surprisingly rich patterns of motion and light. The shape can then perform a routine to music which brings it all to life...

}
The app comes with 7 music tracks, and there's a custom routine for each one. In these routines, the shape's spinning and its emitting of "bubbles" and fireworks are prearranged, and set to the music. The wider motion of the shape and the lights is something you set up in the interactive space, and you control the camera view as well. There is no end to the variety of performances you can produce!
View the demo video here:
The video gives you a link to a playlist with performance examples for all 7 music tracks. You can also view them individually here:
Because this is my first XDA developers forum post I'm not allowed to post the link to the Google Play listing for the app itself, but you can find it by simply searching Google Play for "shape and light". The link is also available in the description text for all the videos above if you open them in YouTube.com.
Any feedback or comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
not bad
Version 1.2 update
Updated to version 1.2, adding new ability to select objects directly via screen taps, plus an automated orbit function when the camera/eye is slaved to an object. Also improved the pacing function for the shape's smoke bubble emitters for more even spacing, plus various other improvements and refinements.
