[Live Wallpaper]Galaxy Audio Visualizer[v2.0][Android 3.0+]

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!

Hi Folks,
This is my first try at a live wallpaper I hope you like it!
You can adjust the amount of snow, the speed, the size and set a background gradient colour
EDIT you can now set a custom picture background
Here it is in action.

I like it. Wish I didn't have to accept an offer to change the settings, but very nice.

Thanks MJS. The advert only appears once, you shouldn't have to see any after that ever again.
I was experimenting if adverts would be a way to allow me to continue developing apps and give them away for free. For the moment the answer is a resounding NO . I've made exactly $0 from 250+ downloads.
Oh Well

christmas comes early !.. nice LW!

Hehe Thanks! We had our first snow shower of the winter here in Northern Ireland last night, so it feels appropriate

this is so nice (i need 10 posts)
but it looks fine, besides its rainy here.

looks good. can I set a picture as a backround for it?

Hi RomBox,
Not at the moment, just a gradient background. It is something I'd like to add though.
All the best,
Ash

great! really gives the christmas feel, it has yet to snow in NC although it has been cold!
sent via Optimus Prime V

Thanks Darken,
@mjs, I've removed the need to click an advert to configure the wallpaper, I just have a small link to my Awesome Widgets app, but it isn't necessary to click it to enjoy the wallpaper in full.
Happy Holidays!
Ash

Very cool, thanks mate!

Thanks guys, it's very encouraging that you like it

If you like the wallpaper could I ask a favour? Could you rate / review it on the market?

Is there any Live Wallpaper snow that user can change background to their own?

It looks good, but it's not free!

very nice! Setting own Background would be great

I have some freelance work to do at the moment, but hopefully after that I will add an option to set a background

Just downloaded it, my favorite christmas wallpaper.
There is some banding on the Galaxy S2, rated a 4 for now hopefully that can be fixed.

Thanks for the rating and reporting the problem, I'll have a look into it. I was pretty sure I had turned on dithering (to remove banding), but I'll have another look. My brother has an S2, so hopefully he can test it for me.
Is the banding in the configuration or on the wallpaper itself?
All the best,
Ash

I think it's in the wallpaper its self because I haven't noticed on other screens or wallpapers. I've attached some screenshots where you can see it hopefully that helps you figure it out. Thank you for the great support.

[APP][2.2+] Critters crawling across device screen

The little critters crawling across your device.
All critters has its own temper.
- The little dancing kitty on touch offers its indignation that it was disturbed.
- The frog is croaking on touch.
- The ghost is disappearing in despair as it was detected.
- The eye growls angry as you hurted it.
- The butterfly offers you its contempt when it was resting and you have prevented its rest.
- And you can smash crawling flies.

Thanks.
The main idea was to provide additional packs/plugins available for download from the app.
If people would like the app...

Couple of ideas for add-on.
Elements pack :
-Ice slowly cracking on screen
-Wind -Leaves blowing
-Rain - Dropplets
-Freeze effects
-Fire flame effects
-Clouds /Fog
Prank pack
-Cracks on screen
-Bullet holes etc
Extermimator mode.
-Kill the little critters with weapons
Just a few ideas for chargeable add-ons.
Love this, and agree it's got so much potential.
Thanks again

To save a battery all animation freezes while screen is off.
And to save memory OpenGL had been rejected.
All sprites are parts of one texture currently loaded for the selected critter.
At least for now no leaks were noticed.

Added the apk for the new version.
Fixes:
Fixed random crash on 4.0.3 devices.
Fixed bug with keyframes
Critters do not respawn on orientation change.

The new apk is available
New version - 1.03
Fixed the "mad critters" behaviour on ICS devices
Fixed "untouchable critters" for ICS devices
Fixed the sound issue for ICS devices.

While this LWP is very neat, it seems to consume a lot of battery, a lot more than most LWPs. Anyone else noticing this or is it just my phone?

I haven't noticed any significant battery loss on my HTC one x. I'm not sure what the problem is. Are you using parallax? It will use a little more battery than without it.

Just released version 1.25
Code:
Version 1.25
-Changed rendering method of wallpaper to improve battery and performance. If there are any problems let me know.
-Removed wireframe mode(incompatible with new render method)
-Fixed user presets not saving
Can anyone tell me if they notice any problems?

The full version is currently 40% off for a limited time!
