Hello everyone.
I stumbled upon this Apk while browsing Google, and figured it might be fun to see if it works on other devices. So I installed it on both my Nexus 4 and Nexus S, and it surprisingly runs flawlessly on both. No crashes or anything of that sort. :laugh:
Here's a few photos:

It has a cartoonish feel to it (which makes sense because ZTE mostly sells phones in China where cartoonish UI's are popular) but I still think it's pretty cool even though it's not exactly 'stock'-like. Swiping from left to right will spin the camera around the mushroom. It is not locked to rotation on a screen-to-screen basis, you can just keep spinning it round and round 360 degrees.
It's a pretty impressive live wallpaper, and is *full* 3D - when you click it in the live wallpaper picker it even loads the pieces of the wallpaper as 3D models. Despite that, it's extremely smooth, I haven't had any performance issues with my Nexus 4 (not that I expected it to though) nor my Nexus S.
It should be noted, though, that ZTE coded it to freeze the wallpaper whenever it's not displayed in order to improve performance and battery life - so on older devices (like my Nexus S) there's about a 1-1.5 second stall where the live wallpaper is frozen before it resumes animating whenever I turn on the device or go back to the homescreen. On my Nexus 4 this stall is hardly noticeable, though, so I assume any decently powerful phone won't have a problem.
To install:
Just download the Apk attachment onto your phone and install accordingly (or plug in your phone and drag the Apk into the downloads folder, then install from there). No root required - you don't have to flash it, or fix permissions, from what I can tell. Of course, this is just for the phones I tested it on so I can't guarantee it'll work perfectly for yours.
As with anything on this site, install at your own risk. I don't see any reason why it might cause problems but don't hold me responsible if it does.
Hope you all like. :good:

Hey guys and gals, I'm back with another live wallpaper. This time I went with a much more subtle approach then the last few that I have made. It's a galaxy of stars that will twinkle(;]) to the music you are listening to.

As always it is free to XDA and can be grabbed at the bottom of the post in the attachments.
If you like my work and want to support me, feel free to purchase it from the market, but I will give any updates free here.
v2.0
Completely rewrote the live wallpaper using Android's new-ish Renderscript API
Performance is much better and visuals are much improved
Only supports Honeycomb+ as the Renderscript API is only available as such (sorry)
Optimized for CPUs/GPUs with more than one core
v1.1
Added full 3D effect with z-axis movement
Added angle change depending on which home screen you are viewing.
v1.0.1
Added dynamic triggering of effects
Changed comet count to 4 and they can be manually triggered with screen touch, otherwise they appear every 20 seconds.
v1.0
Initial Release
Looks like it would be really cool. I got very little reaction to music played from Google music on my Atrix running CM7.
Ok thanks for trying it out. I'll work on getting the trigger levels to automatically adjust. every phone seems to be different.

Released an update that should fix the issue. Only thing that remains is if you play music and move to more quieter music the levels wont adjust unless you change the volume. I'll continue working on a final solution.
v1.1 Update
Released another update that makes the wallpaper a bit more enjoyable by giving it the full 3D treatment. Move from home screen to home screen to gain a different perspective!
v2.0 released!
After about 5 months I have finally gotten another update out! It's a complete rewrite of my first galaxy wallpaper and is much improved! Unfortunately it is now only available for Android 3.0+ (Honeycomb).
Grab it in the OP, check it out, and let me know what you think!
Need froyo compatible version. Android market allows different versions based on device. Can you make the old version downloadable for Android version less than 3.0¿
Oh, really? I didn't know that. I will put up the old version again asap. Thanks for the tip!

For those waiting for the Android version to be released, it was this morning! Unfortunately, it appears to be just a port of the iPhone version. Our Android keys (Menu, Home, Back, Search) do not work. So bigger screens may have an issue reaching the in-app keys at the top of the screen. Other than that, it's pretty well polished. Changed some classes this morning and sent them to the game.

Ah the ever classic PP90M1 class. Put some rapid fire on that baby, be ridiculously overpowered (and be left without a bullet after 5 kills...).

Lol. I've tried rapid fire on it before. Took it off immediately. That's my Drop Zone class. Although I usually switch between the pp90 and the mp7.
EDIT: Found the APK, HERE it is if anyone else needs it.

Call me a noob, but I'm all about the pp90m1 with rapid fire. I keep hearing people complaining about how it's overpowered as if they couldn't play with it themselves... Good times
HATE ****ty iphone ports Sky News do it!
Thanks tho, but these lazy devs annoy me!

As it is popular in top box and in iphone
Now it is rocking on Galaxy Note and Galaxy s3 and HTC one X
¤ Not a remote, not a thin client; the real deal. No root or jailbreak required.
¤ XBMC can be launched as an application on your set-top-box, tablet, phone, or wherever else Android may be found.
¤ The feature-set on Android is the same that you have come to expect from XBMC, no different from its cousin on the desktop.
¤ Running your favorite media-center software on small, cheap, embedded hardware is about to become a hassle-free reality.
¤ And as Android-based set-top-boxes are becoming more and more ubiquitous, it couldn’t be a better time.
¤ In fact, primary development was done on a Pivos XIOS DS set-top-box. And that is no coincidence, you will notice that Pivos is now listed as an official sponsor (more on that later).
¤ It is in under development of XBMC.... With more features
I will get the updates here when the XBMC worked on it as i Open source i have presented here
Enjoy
¤ XBMC is stable and works great there, as well as on various tablets and phones. Though with Android, as many of you probably know, that is only the beginning of the story.
Enjoy the stereotypical dev-shot low-quality demo video On HTC one X

I've created a new 3d Live wallpaper featuring The Hobbit theme. It's completely 3d and, imho, it's pretty cool. You can check it here:

Made it free... didn't get any downloads anyway
looks really good. The app is having the same issues as my live wallpapers. I don't get the scrolling effect. All that I can see is: See attachment. You can see that I have my screen scrolled all the way to the left but the wallpaper remains centered.
This is a common issue for me also on Jellybean. It seems samsung and others have opted out of scrolling wallpapers. So those people that download it will only get to see the first ( center ) screen.
My live wallpapers are plagued by this to at least yours looks decent when on Jellybean it gets centered. Some of mine are way off to the left or right.
I had to add this notice to some of mine to stop people from buying and canceling all day lol.
:good:

Thanks for the feedback (especially the one on google play )!
It's true that samsung disabled the wallpaper scrolling on their phones (why the frack would they choose to disable one of the best features of the android UI is beyond me) and that may confuse the user a lot.
UPDATE 1.0.1: This update should hopefully remove some of the issues with buggy audio, and the app will now work much nicer with the screen off!
Hey guys! So whilst working on another app, I discovered a pretty sweet loophole in Google's code that allows my app to play YouTube videos in the background, even if the screen is off!
Here's the thing: I don't have many devices to test on SO I need you guys to try it out for me and let me know how it works for you!
This app is and always will be free. If you wish to buy me a beer please click the "Donate to Me" button in the sidebar of my posts.
Feel free to ask any questions!
By the way, yes a five year old did make my icon

Works quite well on my 1+1 with MahdiROM 4.4. Audio is a bit choppy when typing or switching apps, but that could be due to my device being underclocked to 1.7GHz.
Thank you Bro ? Awesome

The latest update should hopefully help with that
Great app! Will you continue development ?
Btw works great on Samsung Galaxy young GT-S6310
Edit: If i'll have any good idea, i'll make an icon for it.
Edit 2 I just realized that it doesn't support playlists :more precisely playing next video in background.
Not working on Pixel. No background playback at all.

Can you make a Version, running in the Background so you can play Videos on YT and work at the same time ...
