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!

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 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 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!!!!!

Samsung Galaxy S II Live Wallpapers Working on The Xoom!!

Samsung Secret Live Wallpaper working on the xoom!! Just load like any other apk and give a sec or two to normalize! Runs ok!
What I like about these wallpapers is that they change with your current weather, just update the times in setting. If you use and like just hit the thanks button please!
Took off the first beaches live wallpaper until it is clearer. Will optimize both soon and re-post!
Edit- optimized wallpapers one and two (one runs great in portrait mode only)
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/signedSecretWallpaper1.apk?w=d65b91ea

It works, but it looks awful since the resolution is all kinds of wrong.
Thanks for posting it though.

Yeah I see that I will optimize and repost soon, thank you!

Honeycomb Wallpaper

I've noticed the Xoom Honeycomb wallpaper found on the interwebs is terribly low quality. You can see gradient banding and pixelization. Its quite sad really since its such a cool image.
Anyway, I've redone the wallpaper to get rid of these artifacts. I will post 2 versions, one is the original size (1920x1408) and the other is formatted for the NC (1024x600).
Enjoy!
*EDIT*
Didn't realize that attaching them to the thread would compress/lower quality. Here are direct links
Honeycomb 1920x1408
Honeycomb 1024x600

Thanks so much for this!! It works perfectly with Honeycomb Tablet Tweaked theme.

No problem. I'm really amazed at how low the quality is on the version that is floating around the web. Gradient banding drives me insain. If you are going for a honeycomb look then you should check out the ripple lock app.

looks good but at this point I have no use for a lock screen on my nook

Looks awesome. Thanks!

I can't seem to get gallery to set the whole thing as a wallpaper. Is there some sort of background changing app that ishould be using? I feel Like a noob. I must be missing something.

Give Multipicture Live Wallpaper a try.

[THEME] [19 Sep] MIUI for UberMusic

Hi,
Here's my MIUI skin for Fede's UberMusic.
I've made quite a lot of changes from the skin template in line with the overall feel of MIUI, and allowed for full-width album art display.
Included are a 4x1 widget, and alternative landscape layouts.
To change the colour of the tabs, go to the Settings screen inside UberMusic, and change the accent colour to your favourite.
Download v1

Changelog
Final v1
- Much improved scrolling performance
- Added 4x1 widget
- Improved HVGA support
- Tab colour now follows accent colour (Thanks to TheGrammarFreak's suggestion)
beta2
minor tweak to now playing screen for HVGA

For those interested in some old experimental skins, here's a YouTube-inspired version

Looking clean here, i think it would be better if you can swipe on the interface but good job dude
overcome Kratos

Seems to be working pretty smooth on my G2..some choppiness but im assuming that's do to other things i have running in the background..pretty sweet so far thanks!

I will give it a try, not sure if it supports swiping in tab view
Btw, anyone can help me with testing on qHD?

Looks awesome. Any plans to make other colors available?

Yes, more color options should be easy to make
Now I would just need confirmation that this displays correctly on qHD screens. Seems not many Sensation, Atrix owners here to help me test it out

I have used your skins on a Super AMOLED (Fascinate) but just got a BIONIC & would love to have more UberMusic skin options .... supposedly the BIONIC has qHD display, but the other 50% say its pentile display (or is it somehow possible to be both, idfk ... ?)
I have spent the last few days trying to get this beast as 'customized' as I possibly can considering its 'newness' - going from CM7 ~> MIUI ~> STOCK MotoBlur (actually LauncherPro Plus/MotoBlur now) really makes me itch for some development in ANY/EVERY possible aspect !!!
LMK, if you want me to try anything else ... keep up the great work !
I love Fede's work/apps & will do my best to KEEP IT "THE BEST"

As far as I know, you can have both, pentile/non pentile concerns only sub-pixels iirc.
I would indeed appreciate some testers with qHD devices, the Bionic is one of them
Would you mind posting a screenshot of the 'now playing' screen from your device if possible? If not, does the album art stretch to fill the width in the above skin? I'm using 320dip for width and I'm not sure if it appears correctly for qHD devices.
Thanks!
Btw, a preview of a MIUI version I'm working on:

Everything seems to be working good. Except for the lack of widgets...but I'm assuming that's still a work in progress. Thanks!

Great theme. I like it a lot. but when i choose to apply MIUI to widget skin, widget disappear and i get "problem loading widget" notification.

Widget skins are not included at the moment, still working on them. I plan to release a 4x1 with the final version here, and another version onto the market for those who would want other Widgets.

Works great on my HTC Legend. I love the style, but I'm not a fan of orange. Is it possible to make the tabs at the top follow the colour in the "highlights" section of the UberMusic settings?

Android Music Player theme concept

It bothers me that it's rare, if anything almost impossible to find a music player in the playstore with the holo theme being used, so i took the idea from Google's YouTube app and thought it would look nice if they'd make a music app with the same idea in mind, so i started doing a little work on the idea and since i know nothing about coding this is all i can provide...if it has been thought of before then i apologize, if not, then would be cool if a developer would take my idea and use it.
i wanna do a complete design of the entire internals but wanted opinions of you guys before i even go that far.

Purely personal taste, but the only thing I don't like is the blank CD icon above the album art. Other than that I like it. Keep up the good work!

Are you using Roboto as your font?
I also think that the search icon should be flat, and possibly implement that flat design choice into the album art/playing screen.
I also think there should be a couple more separation of elements using multiple color choices. Possibly use the holo colors.
It looks great though!

- Keep it simple
- Use one font size
- Don't make UI elements too small or too big
- Don't stretch images
- Don't use black on a dark grey background
A lot of "don't" here, and I'm sorry for that.
Personally, I would like a player that uses the Google Now design language. An evolved Holo design in a sense.

The flat look seems to be what's in. I think what's sorely needed is a dead simple, gorgeous music widget. With all the theming that's starting to pop up, i feel like that's the one gaping hole in my opinion. Whoever does that gets my money. I'm really keen on spotify's widget, I'd like to see an updated 4x2 version of that from them.

Looks amazing, I'd love a music asp that works AND looks good. My only advice would be to stick closer to holo. It looks a bit like metro ui from the mock ups.
