[Live Wallpaper] Plasma

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...

thank you. I really like it..

love the wallpaper, but it really makes the n1's color banding issue jump out at you...

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

30 Good Evo Wallpapers

Hey I went through and resized 30 wallpapers for the evo that I use on my phone. Hope you all enjoy.
Post some screen shots of you rocking the wallpapers if you want so we can all see.
Enjoy =)

Thanks! I'll post some screen shots soon

These are the ones I like most

Those look nice. Yeah that last one is one of my favorites. along with the stones one. it looks really good with all white text.

Hell yeah! This is freaking nice wallpapers too, none of those cheap ones!
Thanks, OP!

Your welcome. If I had more time I'd find more to resize.

[removed]
nvm

Oooo I'm downloading that man. It looks good. My Fiance will want it on her evo for sure.

Very nice stuff! Thanks.

where can i find your clock and weather

Ok I'm hearing mixed views now so I'm confused.
All the tech sites say the evo resolution is 800x480 so I sized my wallpapers accordingly.
But I have someone say the resolution is 960x800. Which is true? I really didn't think the later is true because the official sites aren't saying it's that res.

pretty sure its 800x480
Anyways.. why is such a pain to set wallpapers. You shouldnt need to resize the wallpaper. Everytime i try to set a picture as wallpaper.. it makes me crop it and It never looks right.

Beautiful Widgets

Ok cool that's what I thought. Thanks for helping me clear it up.
I've also been wondering why of makes me resize. I'm wondering if that's a sense thing instead of an Android thing. Can anyone comment on that?

Hello all. I have compared the two sizes on a few evos by making wallpaper in both sizes. When you resize wallpapers at 960x800 it will look/be hi-res no questions asked. OTOH 800x480 is display resolution this DOES NOT equate to wallpaper size. Its definitely not wallpaper size.

I kinda like the argyle ones, but they're a bit too much for me personally.
I am trying out the following though.

It is 960x480 because there are the additional home screens

Thanks a bunch! Found a handful of them I like.

I'm glad people are liking them even though I guess they are the wrong resolution.
When I find some more that I like I'll make some in a better resolution and put more up.
I found these on deviant art. So if anyone sees any they like let me know and I'll check em out and add them to the list for you guys.

Hey I made another pack at the correct resolution if you guys want some more.

[Live Wallpaper] VR Tunnel

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.

same thing on the hero...

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!

no MIUI? no Problem! there is something to fill in the GAP!

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.

The launcher its self isnt "slow" but browsing for themes with the inbuilt "theme shop" its extremely slow

Thanks i grabbed this yest and really like it. very smooth and fast. and really like the gestures. I reallly wish there was a way to incorporate more gestures without rooting- but thats another topic i guess.
I am not sure it is just me but some widgets dont appear in Nova but do appear in SPD shell. like the s planner widget. Am i missing a setting or something? I had to pull Jorte calendar out of moth balls as a backup..but was just curious.
Anyway really like the smoothness even with 8 home screens set up full of widgets. :good:
