I'm aware from this article/review on Engadget that live wallpapers can be designed to respond to touch input.
What I was wondering was whether they can be used to toggle controls such as bluetooth, wi-fi etc?
So you can basically embed the switches into the wallpaper itself instead of having them sat on top of the wallpaper and ruining the aesthetics of your home screen.
So, yeah, first question is whether or not it's possible. Second question is (if so), how do you do it?
I'm not at all familiar with live wallpapers or how to go about creating them, so if anyone could offer up any tips, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Also, apologies if this is the wrong section to post this in, it seems right but I could be wrong...
There are a couple off the top of my head.
There is one that fits your description already. It looks like a motherboard and has some touch input spots that you press to disable certain things like data/wifi. I don't remember the name but it should be easy to find in the market.
There was also a live wallpaper builder that had tools to build the application from the PC and then you just have to install it on the phone.
The article I linked to on Engadget is a circuitboard live wallpaper but I didn't think it controlled wi-fi etc (truth be told, it's a while since I watched the video but I don't remember it being able to do so). I'll have another look.
Then again, maybe the wallpaper's been updated since the review.
As for the live wallpaper creator, I did see a program like that on another site but it only seemed to allow you to string together multiple frames, no mention of touch input response.
Ok, so I went back and watched the video review of aCircuit and there are/were LEDs that show the status of the handset's bluetooth, wi-fi etc but (at the time the review was written at least), they didn't act as controls.
As I said previously, it's possible the wallpaper has been updated to add that functionality but I can't find a definite answer either way and I'm loathed to buy it just to find out it's not possible...
Any other help/information would be greatly appreciated...
I hate bumping my own threads but I'm having very little luck finding answers to my questions.
I've found some tutorials about how to create very basic live wallpapers but nothing that would lend itself to what I'm hoping to achieve.
As stated previously, any/all help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
I Have the Xperia S Cosmic Flow LW on my phone and i'm wondering if its possible to make a desktop version of it? Doesn't need to be like the the Android one (that when you touch or scroll it goes faster), all i want is a ''Big HD GIF'' of this wallpaper, get it?
Is there any way of doing that?
Something like that: http :// kim. mobile9 .com/download/wmpreview/497/1344705242-3 .gif (I am a new member so i can't post outside links)
but on High Quality and High Resolution... Or just a video version of it... i can manually covnert to a HQ GIF using a tool...
I will be extremely glad if someone help me...
I am sorry for double posting and i apologize for any rulebreaking, but as the topic didn't got any answers, instead of doing another i made another post to go to first page again
Hey guys, firstly i apologise if this isn't allowed here.
I write for a gaming website and have been promoted to a position which puts me in charge of trying to gain more readers, one idea i have on how to do so is have a mobile app so readers can receive our news/reviews when they are out.
The website is call Anti-Gravity Gaming Network and can be found at anti-grav.net for anyone who is interested in having a look.
Would anyone be interested or able to help me out?
Guys, I don't know if all of you know, but there is a great Google feature that let us check on full screen what is being searched most globally or specifically on each country. It's named Google Trends: http://www.google.com/trends/
On the following link is possible to check a great and colorful animation of main searches right now on full screen. Don't know if this link is related to Brazilian searches, but here it is anyway: http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends/visualize?pn=p18
But well, let's get to the point here. Wouldn't be fantastic if Google launches a live wallpaper featuring this? It would be great to impress everybody with a beautiful and great live wallpaper that, meanwhile, would let us get informed of whats trending right now inside our regions or around the globe!
I'm searching right now the best way to contact Google to suggest this. What do you guys think about that?
Cheers from Rio!
Just updating...
I wrote a suggestion on Google Product Forum and got a great reply about this. If you wanna follow: https://groups.google.com/a/[email protected]
