I'm making this thread coz i'm from france and so i don't have access to US comments and some of you reports me there's some troubles like the earth spinning the wrong way.
To stop polluate the "Live wallpapers" thread of the forum, i decided to open this one dedicated to this wallpaper.
Feel free to post any comments or wishes in here.
If you like my work, feel free to offer me a beer
or contribute
I want to mention the site where i grab all the maps :
http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/
and the one where i grab the realtime map :
http://www.die.net/earth/
Thanks to them !!
updated to market on 2010-02-21
-Deathstar2
-lots of bugfixes
-Customizable random map list
-Deathstar1 (also orbiting as moon around endor)
-No more loading texture in realtime map (except 1st time)
-offset planet position
-orbiting moon around earth
-crashed cached textures autofix to avoid sticky loading textures and need to remove earthrot folder by hand
-still looking for a proper way to wakeup service after the system killed it for memory, some tests in this version.
v1.2 is out:
-Fix of the realtime cloudmap+daylightmap. Be carefull with the refresh rate as each update consume around 70KB of datas
-kind of matrix effect on screen sliding where icons and background scroll the opposite way
-add an option for spinning around natural earth axis.
-maps of endor and tatooine (still looking for a decent deathstar and coruscent ones)
Features in dev :
-engine rewriting in native code linked to GLES2.0 lib + GLSL shaders for rotation
-lens flare effect

Some bitmap of stars would be nice. Maybe an option where the earth moves and the stars move at a different speed if possible.
edit: Being that this uses the GPU and not the CPU, is there less power consumption? Just curious.

i have no idea of the impact on consumption !!
i know that almost everything is sleeping when the screen is off or the globe isn't visible, but i can't tell you what's happening when you're staring at your screen

It keeps force closing on me.

Got it. Awesome! Can you do different planets?

I second the above poster's request for stars, and planets surrounding. I can only imagine how difficult this type of development is but if you made the wallpaper more of a solar system feel, with the planets spinning I'd pay good money for a wallpaper like that!

Really nice.Like it a lot.Keep up the good work.

+1 to this!

The only request I have is for an option to automatically change from daylight to city lights based on the time of the day. Still a nice looking wallpaper.

I second all the suggestion. also please if you can, enlarge the earth size, as on Nexus one it does look small.
thanks

thanks for your feedback guys,
here's the roadmap for future updates :
-ability to grow or shrink the globe
-stars in the background
-automatic switch from daylight to night at fixed time.
-rewrite the engine to use GLSL vertex shader for rotation, and a fragment shader that do live day/night on the globe.
-more maps like europa, ganymede,jupiter,venus etc...
-redo the UVmapping at north pole which is actually crappy.
-TRY to do a complete solar system.

Hi dude
i have other idea for a live wallpaper:
Digital/analog clock with selectable background and weather included
Im not sure if im the only that hates the widgets for clocks
Bye!

good job bro!

I love it so far, but I'd like to add my wishlist:
-Scrolling to the left and right/zoom in and out (once other features are added)
-Twinkling, slightly circling stars in the background
-Moving clouds, twinkling city lights, weather effects on the earth (+100 if you can get it to interact with local weather)
-everything everyone else asked for

Bravo! Tres bonne App!
It's a very nice app! Can we have some background of stars, satelites, spaceships, international space station or something else as an option (to change from plain black)
Could we have the app switching from day to night with the clock
Could we have a size selector for the planet?
Great job anyway!

This wallpaper is SWEET!
I have one request a DONATE option!
This app is great and to continue the hard work some of us will donate.

Better yet add a meteor shower&if you reallly wanna make it flashy show asteroids impacting earth

[Live Wallpaper] Doom Live Wallpaper

I was inspired by the Mario live wallpaper on these forums to make something similar using the Doom sprites. I released it as a beta last week and have been constantly updating it as often as I can.
Features:
- Tapping the screen will drop a random powerup after a 5 second countdown (can be disabled in options)
- Powerups are: Medikit, Armor, Shotgun, Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle, BFG 9000
- Dragging and dropping one of your homescreen icons will spawn a random demon for the doomguy to fight (can be disabled in options)
- Enemies spawn in pre-programmed waves starting off with a small number of easy enemies and building up to large numbers of tougher demons
- Waves can be completely randomized in the options
- Maximum monsters in the random waves is adjustable from 1-25 (setting to 1 means always single monster in each wave, setting to 25 means random number of monsters between 1 and 25 will spawn)
- Adjustable animation speed and sprite size
- Statistics screen in the settings that shows number of kills, number of deaths and number of powerups collected by the doomguy
- 4 different image backgrounds will cycle. Options allow to choose your favourite and not show the others, or disable backgrounds completely which can improve performance and reduce battery drain.
- Create a sequence of custom backgrounds from images in your gallery.
- Currently features the following characters
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Game mode allows you to "play" the wallpaper full screen with visible health and armor and high scores.
The response has been very positive so far, it was even mentioned on the xda-developers blog, pocketnow.com and engadget.
It's free, but does contain an admob ad in the settings (same as mario live wallpaper). - This is why it requires internet permission.

I'm loving it. Great job man.

Absolutely fun to watch.
Perhaps deaths/max kills per life/current kills counter would be fun

Yeah I've been thinking about adding a sort of game mode where you have more control over his movements and you can see his health + ammo. But I don't have much time to spend developing it at the moment.
I'm currently working on improving the AI so the monsters can fight each other like they do in the original Doom.

Awesome! Thanks for your work!

Awesome even on slow processors (msm7xxx)
u rule man !!

Nice 1 Thanks

Sweet, keep updating please

Sick! I hate using live wallpapers because of battery usage but I love Doom so much this is well worth it

Soo awesome!
it is possible to add a settings to keep on one 'screen'.
i hate it when i can't see him shooting imps when i'm on a different screen

nube question
Hey I'm new to the Droid experience. What do you mean by scan the barcode? Is there an app for doing that?
Thanks.
aceblue

nice, powerups and everything
good job

Barcode scanner in the market or if you appbrain

Good job, working well on my SGS, would be nice if you could choose an image from your gallery for the background.

Sh!t dude, love it!
AI for a wallpaper hehehe, what's the world coming too

This is really good thanks.
Just wondering though, that a boot animation like this with the android robot instead of the marine would be interesting. Anyone seen anything like that anywhere?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

The only thing I can really think of is adding the BFG (along with the ability to switch doomguys weapons), more enemies, and definitely the ability to choose which color doomguy you want.

Looks great and all but why does it note that it needs "Network Communication" under the "Permissions"?

[LWP] Bee Bro! interactive live cartoon wallpaper (free, 0 ads, IAPs & permissions)

[LWP] Bee Bro! interactive live cartoon wallpaper (free, 0 ads, IAPs & permissions)
Hey, XDA,
I'm making my first live wallpaper, which is basically my animation & humor playground. Today it is in very early stages & has only a couple of animations and tamagotchi-like mechanics available. I have only a single device to test it fully, so it would be amazing if anyone could try it out and give some feedback. I'm not sure how battery-eating it is, but I try to keep everything light.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
Implementation: drawing on Canvas, FPS limit 24, thread sleeps when invisible, I also have idea of adding variable FPS limit if no interactions happened for a longer time.
Idea: have a funny looking, weird behaving bee creature living on the screen. At the moment it eats flowers (food) & dances in the clouds (fun). User can interact with bee & the world by simple taps (no MotionEvents planned) to plant more flowers or force bee to interact with available elements (if bee is hungry, it might disobey the taps (this needs visual feedback)).
Best suitable for kids, stoners and men-children like me, but others seem to be enjoying hilarious and surprising (first time) animations.
Possible issues: it might crash after adding to the screen, but usually restarts and works fine. Runs slow & slows down lover end devices (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has no issues). Preview has interactions disabled for now.

Leave feedback! Suggest actions and animations!
Night mode!

1.02
* Fixed a preview crash
* Fixed a disappearing ground bug

IMPORTANT
1.03
* I think I managed to get battery consumption under control
* changed ground position so it wouldn't be covered by UI in some devices

1.04
* added night mode to increase battery saving options & make it easy on the eyes
* added new night-mode only interaction & animation
* made a sequence system under the hood for easier adding of more content

enjoying it!

Thank you! I just published another update with some bug fixes and important improvements on battery saving.
1.05
Bee goes to sleep if less than 10% battery is available and no animations run until charged
"sleep on pause" setting, which will put Bee Bro to sleep when wallpaper is invisible and start animations ONLY on user interaction
added sleeping animation. It's pretty cute!
Fixed one crash and one AI bug (possibly added more AI bugs while fixing)

Worth it

It's lovely to hear that! Wait until you see the end product - I have pages with incoherent scramblings of various ideas. And it will stay free forever! That being said, I hope it "pays me back" with many happy users and visibility of my Crisp Bacon game (see signature). if I'll be able to implement an ad of it to my wallpaper in a way I plan to do, I can modestly say - some "whoas" will be said out loudly. I don't think it's ever been done in a live wallpaper. But for now I'm having so much fun just doing hilarious animations and imagining that some people will definitely laugh seeing them for the first time
Really, it's a great feeling to see Bee beeing well accepted. Better than money

More bee things!
Bee Bro will enjoy if you have music playing!
Sleeping animation
Added custom FPS setting (10,20,30)

"I'm having so much fun making this. There is floating, and fighting, and pop...<silence>" - A (former) balloon
"They came out of nowhere and just knocked me out - I may have 'leaked' some water..." - A cloud
"I done popped a lot of those crazy colored blobs...squaak" - A bird
"Moon and I were playing hide-and-seek, like we always do, when we saw a commotion on the blue dot. We
went to investigate and then played whack-a-cloud for a while. It was a good day." - The Sun
The Loons, or... What goes up, does not always want to come down.
One day, The Loons (as they liked to call themselves) were floating up into the sky when, all of a sudden, out
of nowhere some mean and nasty clouds appeared and blocked their way. The loons were very annoyed by this.
So they called upon "The Great Finger" (that's you) to come and help them out so that they may continue on
their carefree flight into the sky.
All new match-3 gameplay.
Pop balloons to make space for others, group the colors together.
Matched balloons fly upwards and damage the clouds directly above them.
New balloons feed in from the bottom to fill up the empty spaces.
Use your wits and matching skills to defeat all the clouds and set The Loons free.
This game has no sparkling or sweet things, only air filled balloons that go pop - it's a blast
Features:
Unique gameplay - a fresh take on match-3
6 powerful power-ups (health, bomb, row, column, color, gas)
3 useful skills (swap, shuffle, multi-pop)
Frozen loons that can not be popped; special loons which can not be popped but attack on their own
The sun and moon will help you fight the clouds
Clouds fight back with attacks (lightning + snow) and offenses (birds + acid rain)
Story mode with 5 tiers and 5 levels per tier, each with increased difficulty and new upgrades
Quick play mode with all power-ups and skills unlocked, survive for as long as you can and defeat as many clouds as possible.
Various game modes (time or move limited; no-lose mode for casual players) - something for everyone
Over 140 achievements to unlock [!]
Multiple leaderboards [#]
Four unique mini-games (pop, shoot, float, fly). These are also playable as stand-alone games and each one has it's own achievements and leaderboards
Full statistics for all game modes and mini-games - synchronized across all devices [$]
Games are saved whenever you are interrupted, so you never lose your progress [$]
Integrated help system
Many configuration options - customize the game to your liking
Play in day or night mode (visual style change only) - with various options to select your preference
Ambient soundtrack with sky sounds (wind/rain/birds/etc)
Fun and child friendly
