Hi all,
The past few weeks I've been working on a new live wallpaper for the Nexus One. Now that it's nearing completion, I figured I'd share it here and gather some feedback. It runs very smoothly for me, and has a ton of options. I put it in the Market a few days ago -- you can find it pretty easily by just searching for "clangen" or using the attached QR code.
Although I created my forum account some time ago, I apparently haven't been active enough and am permitted from adding URLs to my post -- maybe some friendly mod here can help me out?
At any rate, the screenshots don't really do it justice, so I uploaded a short demo video in ogg/theora format (should play out of the box in FF and Chrome):
http://plasma.clangen.org/images/plasma.ogg
You can also grab the latest build from the website:
http://plasma.clangen.org
If a mod can help me out I'll post some direct links to the latest builds in this thread.
Dudes not kidding, it is fast, very configurable, and most importantly looks pretty badass. Also comes with quite a few presets. Nice work man
This wallpaper kicks so much ass its insane! My favorite wallpaper. Other than the sperm one. XD
Absolutely sweet. Awesome work!
Awesome wallpaper. My screen transitions seem a lot smoother now with this running.
This wallpaper is simply ingenious! No other wallpaper has that much options. And the best thing: favorite settings can be saved!
This is great. It looks fabulous and the saving of effects is a great option to have. Good job man!
Downloaded
Installed
Played with settings
Saved a few
Set as wallpaper
LOVE IT!
Awesome job on this one!
I installed it, but it's really hard to see unless you have your screen brightness jacked up, which means it's going to kill your battery even more. Don't think I'll use it day to day.
Great job on it though.
this is finest live wallpaper i have used! YOU ARE THE MAN!
It just keeps FCing for me. I really wanted to try this too...

Well Done
Great work man , This is one of the best.
Thanks for all the feedback, it's much appreciated
I just posted a new version (0.9.0) to my website that allows for a much wider selection of colors.

It took this long before someone put out an honest 'first impression'
Personally, the live wallpaper has great potential - but it also is a battery hog. While most wallpapers eat about 2% of power this once takes at least 3%.
nice one !bravo
I wasn't sure if I was going to post this or not, but a few people saw it and asked for it, so decided to go ahead and post.
Thanks and credit goes to:
Stericson - For making so much possible in themeing
Cyaongen - Great ROM's
Enom - For his ROM work
beagz - The HTCIME Ice keyboard, and a few tweaks to help the themes.
armyranger251 - Gtalk .9 for the convo selection
Manup465 - For NexDeep, giving me a few things to borrow (a few buttons, and the signal notifications). And showing me the pattern unlock.
brandenk - a great tutorial that helped get me started in themeing
david1171 - Overall he is a good help, and I kanged his services.jar for 5.0.5.1 and 5.0.5.2 because I don't have time to do it and he already did
Cloverdale - Good themer, smart guy, and helpful
The clock icon comes from VistaAero http://www.vistaico.com/
The camera, settings, usb notification and other app icons come from an icon pack called Summer Collection by Benjigarner (http://benjigarner.deviantart.com/art/Summer-Collection-PNG-65031635), i just modified the color and sometimes details
Most of the ic_menu icons come from an icon pack called Crystal Project (http://www.everaldo.com/crystal/?action=preview#). Some are directly from and some I modified to work with the theme.
I did sometimes use parts of the original icons, or one of the icon packs, or both, in combination to create some of the icons used.
I have moved the links and change log to my website:
http://www.jbthemes.com/jairomeo/MetsTheme.html
This is to make it easier on me not having to update 3 threads on 3 sites
05/09 - v1.2 is now up on the website

The battery isn't the blue one, some of the screens were before I did it. It's Mr. Met now, he disappears as the batter dies. Thanks though.

Anytime you wanna start working together again. Haven't heard from you, was starting to worry.
Updated the OP cuz I'm an idiot and uploaded the copy with Helix v0.6 with FC'ed on 5.0.6. Uploaded v1.0.1 which is now good to go
I love the theme. Big time mets fan. But, I just had a question. I use the app quick settings. Is it normal for the text on the notification drop down for this app to show as black instead of orange like every other app? I can't read the text because of it showing as black.

Some apps control the text themselves versus letting the system do it, and when they do that, it keeps the text black. Astro is another one that does that.
This is so official its scary... thanks a million j.
Glad you all like it.
I just realized that I didn't include the Mets lwp in there theme. ill post a link later to push that.

New LWP's to come
The Mr Met BG looks a little to red so I still gotta get it a little more orange, they look a lot different on the phone though, oh well. Just thought I'd let you all see. There is one more I can edit, what are some ideas?
Another future planned update is going to be to change the little circles from the launcher into little baseballs.
Keep up the good work!! Looking forward to future updates.
I have redone the LWP, new one modifies the galaxy, water and grass. Youll love them.
From one of your recent photos, it says your from clearwater fl. Forget the mets, lets show some rays love. Tampa florida here.. I'm also a huge usf bulls fan too. Anyway, sweet mets theme and keep up the good work.

I currently work in Clearwater, I'm from North Jerz. I'm a Mets fan, I'm not a Rays fan, so that ain't gonna happen. My sports themes this time around will be limited to my teams. I don't have the time to do what I did with the G1 and make all teams. The Mets theme is my personal theme that I posted after a few people caught the screens and asked about it.
I will be doing 2 more come College and Pro football seasons. One will be for USF, and the other for Big Blue!
Now on the Market!
9/13/10 - New update!
The Max version now supports album art! You can choose to skin the cubes with your album art. It will automatically cycle through all of the album art on your SD storage. I'm working on an update to support those of you with internal storage.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cWGhGnsIJI
market://details?id=com.wallpaper.VRTunnelMax - Full paid version
market://details?id=com.wallpaper.VRTunnelLite - Lite free version
I've removed the apk from here. If you already have one of the test versions installed, please uninstall it and get it from the market. That way you'll be able to get automatic updates.
To Do List
Short term:
Possibly implement some sort of color cycling so that the cubes change colors while it's running.
Long term:
User selectable textures
Pulsing when music is playing
Custom models - imagine instead of simple cubes, it was a bunch of Android robots
Thanks to everyone here for helping out with the testing!
If you can, come join us at the Big Texas Android BBQ
http://bigtxbbq.com/
Instructions:
If you've clicked on the about bar in the settings, then you've already seen these but I should include them here as well.
The tilting motion works best when the phone is in a relatively horizontal position.
Double tap the screen to re-center the tunnel.
Try tapping the cubes multiple times to change their rotation.
After watching the clip.. my mind in a daze haha. It looks reallyy good and i'm gonna try it out right now. How is it on the battery?
LOL, the 3D effect actually looks better in the video than in real life, I think.
As far as battery, I'm sure it takes quite a toll while it's on because the motion sensors are pretty power-hungry but you can turn them off in the settings if you wish.
I know this is the nexus one forum. But just as an FYI it doesn't work on my stock 2.1 telus milestone. All the cubes and the tunnel are white, regardless of the settings selected.
hmm, ok. Is the Milestone is the same as the Motorola Droid? If so, I can think of a few things to try for the next release...
nice testing now on cm6
pretty awesome so far. and pretty good for your first app
Can I test out this lwp?

I'm impressed! It shows a lot of promise and I'll enjoy seeing how this develops.
Thanks for sharing
Wow that is very cool!!!
This is the first cool Live Wallpaper
Have just downloaded and looking good so far. Am interested to see battery usage.
Well done. That's nice work.
WoW thanks you awesome i'm loving it !

Yeah their real close, cdma (droid) vs gsm (milestone) but I'm pretty sure it's the same gpu.
chopsui, great job! These other posts are too humble. I think this LWP is top notch!
You have managed to get a '3D' style live wallpaper to work! I think the more people that find out about this the more popular you will become. I would pay for this in the market! Watch how many people kang this from you! I look forward to more from you in the future.
Just downloaded and installed. Awesome work!
Very nice! I like it.
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm working on the Milestone/Droid bug now. I'll let you know when I have a new build.

hey I tried the LWP and i gotta say it's pretty nice
I've updated the original post for those having issues with the textures.
Let me know what happens. Thanks!
Hi Customization freeks! Howdidoo?
It’s quite long we are waiting for MIUI to be ported to our fav SGT. But seem’s like things are pretty slow. So, there is something I come across the market to fill in the GAP.
Yes, It’s again a Chinese Theme based application works pretty well on upto 4.3” screens but do not disappoints the 7 incher either.
I wonder how XDA Developer.com did not focus on this application. Here’s the market link.
https://market.android.com/search?q=sskin+butterfly&so=1&c=apps
The previews of the themes are in Chinese but when you apply the themes, they adopt the system language. Well, I really don’t know for the other languages but yes for the English. At least 15 themes are free and there is no sign anywhere on the net that, someone must have uploaded the paid themes. I guess this application is new and will do wonders gradually.
Apart from this, I would like to suggest few more fancy applications which you guys must be well aware of for those who are not, try them.
Go Keyboard,
Go Contact’s,
Go Weather,
Battery widget viewer,
Circle Launcher.
I hope this will keep you busy until MIUI pops up
So what exactly does it theme? Is it a replacement launcher?

seems like there are people like minds. only difference is i play with it and stay awake, you play with it when you don't get sleep.
i wish someone could've updated the paid theme's they are sexy specially the rain theme.
It's slow, and the customization options that you have is even less than Zeam. You can't even set it to have more rows x columns in the homescreen, nor can you resize widgets.
And it looks Korean since most of its themes are based on Korean artists.
Thanks mate! Butterfly Launcher + [SSKIN] Liveback_Sense looks perfect

yeah man its cool. i like the flip of the theme. it's pretty fast on my tab i wonder how come its slow on other users as mentioned above. some people do not reboot their tabs as a result they become heavy. a reboot is a must in a day.

Hey guys,
I've published my first live wallpaper: City Bokeh http://goo.gl/MbpZ4
It's one of the first type of Live wallpapers I've searched (bokeh lights) in the Store when I've got my phone, and since I couldn't find one, I made it myself (I hated the lack of a simple one without a billion ads and tricks).
Let me know what you think!
Thanks
Installed and running. Really nice.
Thanks.
I'll let you know if i have any problems.
Note II, stock 4.1.1, unrooted.

I'm not going to take your work for granted or steal credit or anything .
really nice, but I'm not a fan of live wallpaper, just supporting~!
Thanks a lot for your messages guys!!
