Hi,
for the last couple of months I've been spending my weekends developing a retro-style starfield-themed wallpaper. Now it's finished and I'd appreciate if you could take a few minutes to check it out. It is free, does not contain ads of any kind and it does not require any permissions.

Much obliged
No probs.
BTW, this awesome. Do you plan to do a simple starfield, though, instead of cubes?

No, I tried that during development and it wasn't very spectacular. But if the interest is big enough (decent amount of dowloads) I would like to add other 3D shapes like stars, spheres, pyramids etc, maybe an option to load your own custom 3D objects.

Try to do something based on the Flying Windows screensaver or something similar, it will look cool too!

I'd definitely like the old school star field from win95
Do you mind if I include this in my ROM? Credits given etc etc

I really like the retro look! I like to theme my phone sometimes to different things.. changing wallpapers and fonts and such. This is a great one for an old school but futuristic look!

You guys sure like your Windows 95 Well, if the app is downloaded by a reasonable amount of people and I know I am not doing the work in vain, I will do a poll or so to let the communitiy decide what the next feature should be.
Sorry to bump this again, but I'm noticing that quite a few spanish-speaking people are downloading the application. I'd be really happy if a native spanish-speaker could take the time to translate the preferences menu. The whole text is about one screen page. I attached the strings.xml file below, so you can have a look. I will mention you by name or by alias in the google app store, if you like.
P.S.: You don't have to translate words like "Starfield Live Wallpaper", of course
Edit: other languages are welcome too!
*bump* added images!

ew that one looks like crap
I'm trying to make something like this. The wallpaper will basically be a randomly generated course with mario playing it very pro-like. Imagine TAS playthrough speed. Every once in a while the course will end and another will start with a different theme (outside, underground, castle).
Hope I can do it. I'm not very far anymore
It would be really cool, hope you can do it!
Something like a video playing in the background...
I'm in final stages of testing the wallpaper as we speak. The thing's a battery sucker (Mario's AI is not easy on the phone's processor) but it looks really great!
I actually often find myself staring at the homescreen, watching Mario play himself...
Will publish shortly. Will probably make a seperate thread.

Look at the clock / weather widget combo, that's awesome. One of the (slightly) few reasons I love my HD2. Why can't something like this appear on Android devices, something like this would ROCK on the Evo.
Why would you want 3 clocks? I've seen widgets a lot like that (for android), I think it was beautiful widgets.

Yes, the redundancy is very overwhelming.
Beautiful widgets, you can even clone that if your up to the challenge using the available tools.
But as the previous posters said, 3 clocks? OCD much?
something like this?
drifter.anu.edu.au/android/like_this.png
can't add outside links, apparently I'm a new user.
beautiful widgets has several skins and you can add your own. IMO its the best clock/weather app you can find.
I don't mean the analog clock, although it's still nice. I meant the look of the whole widget, beautiful widgets looks cheap, at least the weather animations do :/

It is completely customizable, 100%, create your own and make it look the way you want it to look.
And there are a few dozen different weather animations, from silly to amazingly real.
Obviously you do not have it yet or you would know this, but its worth the few bucks.

Alright, time to flex those theming muscles.
I'm a gamer, you're most likely a gamer, and with both those conditions being met, it's safe to assume you are acquainted with Valve's masterpiece, the Portal Series. I appreciate and love the comedic and puzzling aspects of both Portal and Portal 2, and am excited to try to get a theme going.
The theme would probably get the biggest support for adw, free or ex. I personally am partial to AOSP ROMs, as are many of the themers/graphics guys.
Here's the running list of things to have:
• Bootanimation/Splash - DONE thanks to JamesC_
• Icons
• Icon dock
• Wallpapers (I think a cool idea would be to have alternative walls for widgetlocker and the homescreen, one with each color portal)
• Themed major widgets (start getting more specific with that later)
• CM Theme Manager or otherwise AOSP theme, including, but not limited to menus, notification bar icons, and a cute something on the notification panel
Possible icon sets:

http://gorganzola1.deviantart.com/art/Portal-Icon-174389446?q=sort:time+gallery:gorganzola1&qo=2
Any more suggestions/pledges/themers willing to aid their time please comment below, and let's try to keep it constructive guys!
Let's start with some Wallpapers:
http://biofall.imgur.com/portal_theme#5eUEr
I'd love something like this that's compatible with adwEX and adw if possible. Maybe even get it to work with the aosp theme engine would be an even better idea (not so great for sense users). FYI I just beat portal 2 single player, I'm trying to get my girlfriend to play the coop with me but she hates video games lol.

I have the turret "Activated" sound. I think that would be a good boot animation one. I can get any other one. Maybe get the aperture science logo spinning around for the animation?

Fuzzy clock watch-faces, first of such kind for the Sony SmartWatch2!
The watchfaces are actually clocks (not widgets!) and thus work even when the Bluetooth connection is lost. Also, the clocks don't occupy the full screen of your watch, so you can place other widgets on it as well!
Here's a link to the app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eir.watches.fuzzy
And below are two of the watch-faces. Hope you like them!

They cost money because they require time, skills and effort to make. If you do them (and I mean all of them, as you say) for free, I guess you'll find many people would be grateful for that.
Until then, the symbolic .99 USD price is a cool enough way to say "thank you" and keep me motivated.
I agree

First off, thank you for your time and effort creating this app for the SW2. I downloaded your app already. With all these new apps taking advantage of the new firmware and manu0466 hack to allow overlapping you guys are doing a great job making this watch what we wanted in the first place.
What I wanted to ask you is if you can add new widgets with smaller size; It looks like the second font is very similar to the default one used by Sony and it is very legible is smaller sizes. Thanks again!
What's that "km/h" widget? I want it!

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!
