Hi,
Just found the flash-version of this game and trying to find out if its playable on diamond. It would be awesome to get it to work with the g-sensor. Anyone up for porting it?
Check it out:

that would be fricking awsum!!!
Ive extracted all the resources from the game and it doesnt look like its too hard to do it.
Going to give it a try this weekend if the weather suck or im not too hungover.
It does look cool, but what is the aim?
It looks like a game on the DS I think Electroplankton or somehting like that
b
it was so so
but not work effectively
I know it's purely cosmetics, but cosmetically speaking, if there was a version of compiz that could run on Android with all the settings... I'm thinking smooth rotating desktop cube with 4 virtual desktops vs the current 3-screen swipy desktop... or window animations, etc... with the same silky smooth animation that you get from compiz in ubuntu.... Just imagining this on Android... all the iPhone users jaws would drop open at the sight of a smooth spinning cube desktop and windows that burst into flames, etc.
So my question to the devs... I am not a developer... Is this dream of mine of a Android-Compiz app at all possible?
It's possible, but I've heard that there is NO hardware acceleration on the G1 at the moment. Everythings being rendered with software.
Also, Compiz wouldn't be worth the battery life. Yes, it's sexy, but remember that this is a phone. I wouldn't trade what little battery life we already have for that.

Umm you're wrong about hardware acceleration, it certainly does have it, just take a look at the demo app qualcomm made to show off the chipset. That said, it's a PHONE. If you can manage to get all the compiz effects working smoothly on a 528MHz single core computer with 192MB of RAM and a really crappy onboard graphics chip then sure, it'll work(i.e. no, this phone has nowhere near the processing power needed to have compiz working, hell it doesn't even have full OpenGL, it's OpenGL ES)

480 x 320 screen resolution helps with the prcoessing needs... and compiz is highly configurable... I'll bet if the app (or one inspired by compiz) could be made to run on Android, it would be a matter of adjusting the right modest settings...
People don't buy iPhones for the battery life, and they don't even buy iPhones for the phone. The phone is like the cherry on top. They buy iPhones for the pure eye candy bliss.
All I'm saying is... don't under estimate the value of eye candy in the consumer market, and if Android had a compiz like app it would kill the iPhone on eye candy.
I want windows transitions to explode into flames, or fade in and out, or spin out of sight (similar to the page 1/page 2 transition for the 'toggle settings' app)... I want the desktop to be a rotating cube with 4 to 6 virtual desktops that spins as fast as I can slide my finger across the screen and eventually come to a smooth stop.
Just saying... it would kill the iPhone. Kill it. And it would sell a lot of G1s.
Doesn't compiz require x-windows to work?

Exactly, I had the same question.
What is the android window environment? It's not an x-windows, is it?
Good question, I don't know... but even so, seems like there could be a way to do it.
Like the existing swipey desktop... if it could be made into a revolving cube with 4 sides. And then to add widgets to any of the 4 virtual desktops (in the same way that we have 3 virtual desktops now)
I ask this all from a very humble, non-developer position... Just wanted to plant the seed in case there were any developers who thought it might be possible.
Android runs on the framebuffer -- there is no X.
The hardware acceleration for graphics is being used (videos wouldn't play without it, for instance). Comparatively, it's probably something like an old TNT graphics card (but with hardware acceleration for h264 and such).
There's a tiny chance in hell it could pull off very basic compiz features... but it would hose the system... (and require that you run X -- which would require you installing your own software base separate from and without Android).
No one's going to put in the effort for methinks, especially when it would so cripple the phone.

My thoughts exactly. Another thing I thought of is that the vast majority of compiz effects have to do with windows and the G1 doesn't really have separate windows so I don't see how it would work. Desktop Cube might be possible and maybe some fancier animation for bringing up programs but aside from that, I don't even see what compiz effects would be applicable.
I think Cube Desktop (with rotation speed determined by how fast your finger slides across the screen) and windows transitions (burn, spin, flip, fade, slide etc) would be a great place to start!
Well since android is OPEN SOURCE we could create a compiz for android using the window management libraries that we will also need to create and build this ontop of cyanogenmod
The cube animation is offered in rogros82's home replacement on the market called GDE, I'M CURRENTLY USING IT, the best home replacement app to date!
Have to agree there aren't many of the compiz effects that would apply to the Android world. Cube/Sphere desktop & window animations are really about it. As far as that goes GDE (launcher replacement) does most of what makes sense to adopt from compiz. I have been using it for about a week & it uses 2% battery on average. The application dock it comes with is nice too.
If someone wanted to look into making their own compiz-like effects, You could start by digging around OMS code to see how they got cube and all working. Like I said though most of it has been done already, and is just a few bucks on the market.

You beat me to it. GDE is a great app though. Being able to switch themes easily is also a nice feature.
GDE running now looks great.!
eats my battery i think but nice 2 have
Well I know the Samsung Behold 2 has an inside cube animation effect with it's home/launcher but I wouldn't know how to pull it from the SB2 and port it to the Dream.
That's just an idea for the devs...
GO Launcher EX
GO Launcher EX has the cube animations built in it's effects for home screen and app drawer.. It works well
So does ADW EX.
Great way to bring a thread back from the grave...

The ZTE Avid N9120 has this cube. As you add apps, the cube expands the total number of sides it has .
Metropcs offers this phone via best buy and other sources.. worth every penny.
You can extract the cube to a desktop and add it to every phone on earth.
How Awesome Would This Be?!
Compiz on the Galaxy Note 3 or 4 and the Galaxy Edge!? With some special effects that run down the edge of the Edge. That would be fantastic! I personally love cosmetic stuff. Themes, status bar mods from xuimod, or Wanam Exposed. Now if someone could rebuild compiz with burn and cube and wave and wobbly windows! Let me just include one more exclamation point to express my enthusiasm!
Omnia 2 TouchWiz 2 got a really nice UI Check the video out:
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=5966
Thinking whether anyone can port it to HD
probably, but imho i think manila 2.5 is better. The colors in the interface are so weird. bright orange with black ><

Maybe it's customizable
hmm if the colors are customizable, i would want the top interface of manila 2.5, with the omnia 2 interface under it.
I think it would be awesome to have multiple choices for User interfaces so this interface would be a great addition for our HDs. Plz great devs do something about it
Check out FE Widgets: http://pocketnow.com/wiki/FE_Widgets
It looks kinda like the Omnia UI!
Tried it a few weeks ago, it was ok but not that great...
So no one is willing to work on it ???
is there a rom dumped anywhere from the device?
i would rather have the touch flo on the omnia 2 . Is that possible? That oled screen is awesome. Not 2 menton 800 mhz processor and 8gb storage. Thinkin about getting one on ebay for 680.
I think we have to find a dumped rom first to start with this project.

come on
it's looks like a toy not a professional phone.
you cannot compare it with TF3D
I Have the HD and my only complaint is that i can't get 3G due to att band freqs. But i knew that before buying the phone. Last Month I bought the samsung jet which uses the same tw interface. I returned it. Not that i disliked it . But I just prefer the touchflo 3d. Its more business like. But i gotta tell ya. That AMOLED screen is awesome. It puts any TFT LCD screen to shame. (And i Love the htc touch hd screen).But the AMOLED screen Everything just looks better. Images just POPS out at ya. I agree it does look like a toy. But the specs are awesome. In fact better than the HD. 800 mhz pros. 8gb buillt in stor. I should have mine my tues. Now if you could port the touch flo 3d to the omnia2 Then you have a killer device. and it have 1900 mhz band for 3g. Will that work on ATT?
just got my omnia 2 and this sucker can get 3g on att 1900mhz. yes it can. i still like the touch flo 3d better. guess i'll be selling my HD soon. i'll dumped this rom for u guys if someone tell me how 2 do it. And i would love to put tf3d on this phone. Video smoother. But audio is better on HD

Try the modaco forums for omnia II rom dumping help...
Guys any update on this project, has anyone started it yet or not ?
Hi there! Im a newbie at WinMo. I used the X1 only for about 2 weeks. So I miss games and apps for it. I downloaded Assassin's creed hd, ferrari gt evolution hd...both work perfectly but they arent for X1's resolution! Crap! I cant understand why gameloft cant use THE SAME MODIFIED FILE AS ON OTHER WM PHONES AND TURN IT TO X1 playable...SOOO...maybe you windows mobile pros know how to change the cabs resolution? Maybe youve done it but i havent seen it in forums and stuff...
P.S. I love xtrakt so maybe there are any other games like that? I mean not the genre (lol), but the graphics are awesome.
You can't just change the resolution by yourself like that, but for many applications/games there are several different versions for different resolutions, i got assassins creed in full resolution for one.
Another "official" game like Xtrakt for the X1 (X2) is "Experiment 13" which is rather good as well.

When downloading/buying an app, look for the WVGA version. That is the resolution for the X1. VGA works sometimes, you just have a black bar at the bottom. Trying to play QVGA/WQVGA/SQVGA will just give you a headache

yes I've used all these and many more many times over including the cool ones that dont work due to incompatible resolutions like vr tunnel, seeds of life, circuit board, pano planet earth rot ect...you have to work your mojo to get them to stick and they often wont stick forever (just turning off your screen will cause many of these to revert back to your last static wallpaper) but they can be made to stick long enough to impress your friends. the ONLY live wallpaper I've tried that absolutely will not work is Silhouette. It does a funky split screen stuff that just wont behave no matter what. none of the samsung ports have ever worked on my phone either.
Thanks! Got some of these installed! Anyone else? Some really good ones there!
Marc
I was wondering if any of the aquarium LWP's worked. I tried the two aniPET ones, and they don't work, but the idea of having a virtual fish tank on your screen is kind of cool =]
Oh, and this one works too. Its the one I'm using right now. SMB FTW!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710647
Edit: just installed the New York Giants one from WebApse. I don't know if the other one worked (from SilentDesign I think), but this one does. Even though the Giants have been done since week 17...still gotta love it =]
Can anyone tell me where I can get these and how I install them ?

first phone must be rooted and loaded with a rom that support live wallpapers (most froyo and eclair roms at this point). All the ones I listed are directly from the android market and most free.
It seems hit or miss which work and which don't some of those on the list didn't want to work on my phone.
Peace

some may have been updated to higher resolution, unsupported openGL (beautiful widgets weather for one) but for the most part all should work. I'm curious to which ones on the list didn't work for you.
thanks for this list. been hit and miss for which ones work on my rom. but good resource.
any that have updated to OpenGL ES wont work or wont work well:
Beautiful Widgets (old works great but if you dont have it backed up cant get it)
Nexxus Revamped (same. old works great, new is OpenGL ES)
list will probably get larger. do NOT do update if you see the update includes OpenGL ES (both the above describe in update description).
Anyone have The old nexus revamped?
