[Q] live wallpaper idea - Xoom Themes and Apps

Has anyone thought thought that the end credit animated background of Alice in Wonderland would be an amazing live wallpaper. I'm sure it would be a paid one but it would be worth it....

I think that would be a good one also but it may get taken down from the market the same way Mario live wallpaper did.

Why not capture it, save it to video and use the video live wallpaper discussion here...

i will have to check it out the actual credits will annoy me thou.

Anyone have a video of it? If its not to complicated & i like it i can add it to my list lol.
To above, video LWP's suck....just saying.

[Q] Live wallpaper from a video?

I searched and found links on how to make a live wallpaper from scratch, but I wanted to see if I could take a small video clip and loop it as a live wallpaper?
*EDIT*- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739512
Awesome!
try and take it frame by frame, then use one of those live wallpaper makers?

I guess you could, I just figured someone would know how to go from a video format directly.
Found the software to make it! Edited the OP.

Usable Wallpaper Thread for Gtab

So I keep seeing threads pop up on wallpaper this & Wallpaper that.
I thought it would be cool if we started a thread on usable and favorite wall paper for the Gtab.
(Please keep this thread on track for the subject)
Here are two that I created quickly I had these made originally for my Hero, so I just increased the size.
Here are some Diamond plate ones.
And some more of the fur type
Fire and Ice
Shattered Screen
Android puzzle
Nice looking backgrounds, may have to try a couple.
Sent from my Fascinate
Thank you for sharing .
Do live wallpapers count? If so there are three witch I've tried and work okay on this beast..
Super Mario Live
3D Matrix & Reloaded Live
Rotate Earth Live
Silhouette Live
Canopy Live
A couple dozen others I tried only showed/worked partially.
For regular wallpapers I've got a Martian sunset, the only panoramic view of Venus' surface from the Russian probe, a couple of Earth orbit and Earth's city lights from space... some anime I'll post them when I get home.
Yes Live wallpapers would count, post all wallpapers so everyone can check them out.
I'm not on my gtab right now so I can post the wps I have but I'd like to share this website where I downloaded some wallpapers. Cool thing about this site is, if you go to the website using your gtab, there's a process in there that will auto detect your wallpaper size. If you don't want it to autodetect, you can also choose the resolution you want. After you choose the size a preview will pop up and you can long press to save it or set it as your wallpaper. The wallpapers look great.
You don't have to sign up and there's some pretty cool wallpapers.

Here are some pretty cool wallpapers
The first two are from the anime Bleach, don't know if any of you read or watch the anime/manga. 1st is Ichigo in his new hollow form, 2nd is Ulquiorra in his release form.
The last two are from where else-space! 1st is an earth orbit shoot. 2nd a Martian sunset from taken by the Spirit rover. PS. Look at how tiny the sun looks like from Mars..
Look at page one I will edit my post and post some more.
i've found that wallpapers on the zeam launcher work pretty much perfect. the launcher is smart enough to resize it properly without having to zoom in much. needless to say, i'm sticking with this launcher from now on. only thing that it doesn't have for me is being able to save your configuration.
and here are a whole bunch of 1024x1024 wallpapers: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/apple_devices/ipad_1024x1024/
yea i know its ipad but hey, its 1024x1024.
I like this one
Anyone know where to get this wallpaper
would really like to find it to continue working on my overall theme
Thanks
aquarium free and aquarium donate work great.. Im using it on my tab right now.. love the turtle and the little treasure chest
I dunno if they made it, but I remember that wp from cyanogen mod Makto, you'll be able to find it on their latest rom.
Silly question, but...
Why is it that my tablet will crop images from widescreen to square when selecting an image as wallpaper?

i think thats an android limitation. not sure though because it does the same on my Droid, crops the pic as a square.

It does it for the side scrolling effect. For example on a 480x800 res phone which is normally in portrait you need to use a 960x800 sized image to avoid it being cropped (if you turn the phone landscape it crops the bottom of the image).
The best solution I've found for the Gtab is to use 1024x1024 images (heaps here http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/apple_devices/ipad_1024x1024/) and set them using the app Wallpaper Set & Save.

Dreamscenes on your hero!

Well I was fed up of not having any decent livewallpapers on my hero and stumbled across a livewallpaper called video live wallpaper.
This livewallpaper lets you play a video loop as a wallpaper, having just installed dreamscenes on my laptop, I put two and two together and thought why not.
After a few hours of trying various conversion formats I have found the settings to run dreamscape mpg's (dreamscapes must be in video format not dream.) as a livewallpaper on your hero, this looks really good and makes the hero look like its running really complex live wallpapers!
Anyway it works really well and is very stable and looks really good, so thought I would share it! If you check out the short video you can see a few running!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp3pNwQetds
If you want to do this you will need:-
video live wallpaper app (free from market)
Any video converter (free on download.com)
dreamscences in a movie format (google them) or www.dreamscenes.org
You then simply need to convert the dreamscene and run it with the live wallpaper app.
Ive found that the optimum settings for conversion that give the best look/performance balance are:-
Profile= customisied AVI movie
Codec= XVID
Frame size = 352x240
Bitrate = 12000
Frame rate = 15
You can tweak these values but be warned I found that if you go too high your poor old hero will start locking up, at these values I get no performance issues and battery consumption is on par with other live wallpapers, anyway enjoy
Oh and just to be extra nice here are the three from the video, ready converted for you to try if you can't be bothered to convert your own
View attachment Bokeh_xvid.zip
View attachment reactor_1680_xvid.zip
View attachment silky-dance_xvid.zip
(Oh yeah btw you need a custom rom to run live wallpaper on your hero, search development if you dont know how!!)
And just so you know, on my phone ADW launcher didnt seem to like this wallpaper so I swapped to launcher pro and it was fine!
If anyone finds any other cool dreamscenes, please feel free to add them to this thread to give people a selection to use.
EDIT...here's a few more I've converted
View attachment Underwater_xvid.zip
View attachment UnderseaHD_xvid.zip
View attachment 506581
View attachment Colormetry_xvid.zip
View attachment blueUV_xvid.zip
this is fantastic. will be trying this tomorrow.
nice ! I will try it soon !
Looks great, thanks!
...and BTW: I love the swing effect when changing home screens, how did you achieve this? What ROM are you using? Is it possible with CM6?

ROM is froyo 2.2.1 special edition final with fly kernel 12a overclocked to 710mhz
Transition effects are in the latest launcherpro release
In theory any ROM should work as long as it has the live wallpaper hack included, not sure how they will perform, maybe some will run better than others, if anybody feels like posting performance results on other ROMs that would be useful
Just found a site with lots of free dreamscenes to play with

No problem my friend, theres also some cool transitions on ADW launcher now as well if you like that sort of thing
And a little update for anyone trying the dreamscene videos, there seems to be so sort of problem with the video live wallpaper app, after a few days use it starts to really affect performance on my phone, am thinking some sort of memory leak (Im no dev so not sure really) stopping app then rebooting sorts out the problem.
Anyway I've emailed dev about it but if anyones clued up and knows what there looking at, then any input would be good
Hey!
I'm the dev of the VLW. I downloaded one of the videos of the original post and I'll be testing it on my device to see it anything weird starts occuring after a while.
Though I have the Desire HD so I might not have any problems. We'll see.

Thanks for having a look at this for us, would be nice to use this as an every day live wallpaper......and yeah I reckon the desire hd will cope slightly better than our little old heros hehe
Very nice work!
When I get home from work I might try this on my Desire HD too
Very nice!!!!!

[REQ] Playstation 3 Flower HD wallpapers

So I came up with a great idea of using the Playstation 3 game Flower as a wallpaper and was digging around XDA as usual and google search as well but couldn't find HD pictures of any of the in-game screen shots. Was wondering if anyone could make a HD screen for wallpapers cause I have no clue how to?
You could try going to the dev's main page. They got a gallery of screenshots, which probably would look decent if you saved them to your phone and made it into a wallpaper.
http://thatgamecompany.com/games/flower/
Or some more googling: http://www.google.com/images?q=flow...a=X&ei=oO9zTceBF4O6sQOv2-zJCw&ved=0CAcQpwUoAQ

[Q] Where can i get these shelves?

I am looking to get just the black shelves so i can add my own background.. ive seen lots of people with them and id like to get them to make my own wallpaper and add icons in photoshop.
Im looking to have 4-5 shelves on my wallpaper.
Thanks!
Id also be interested in any other shelves by themselves. Thanks!
devinatart is where they came from...he cut the shelves out and placed them on that background! with gimp or photoshop
Nevermind heres the link http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=iphone+shelf#/d2wx87f
Those are where the selves came from!
Haha. Truth be told i had seen em too and thought they might be an app of some description.. Creative use of backgroung images and i mean they are top quality images. With the right screen no wonder they look interactive.
I found it! Has a clear background and ready to be put on any wallpaper.
So, is there an easy method to making sure you line them up properly when creating the wallpaper, so that the icons sit nice on them once you get the wallpaper onto your phone?
Can someone instruct me on how to place the shelves. I'm so lost .
Evo 3D in full Affect with WTSB HYDRO SENSE 3.5
you make a screen capture and then place the shelves with the help of this capture (you load it in photoshop/gimp/whatever and place the shelves under the icons and then you just swap the capture to your image)
