[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rawat:
I've attached the live wallpapers from SGS II. Just install them like a normal apk, but be warned that at 8mb and 11mb they are rather large.

They should work on any device with WVGA resolution, and have also been reported to work on Galaxy Tab. However, they may not work if your device has non-standard DPI settings.

Secret Wallpaper 1 is a beach scene and Secret Wallpaper 2 features windmills running peacefully along the country side. Both wallpapers use your GPS co-ordinates or coarse location to change the weather depicted in the scene, and to switch from day to night.

Smartkeitai editor CJ Lippstreu has made two videos showing the live wallpapers for SmartKeitai.com Please hit like on their video, and subscribe to their channel for more smartphone videos.

Thanks...the windmill wallpaper looks great.

Will I need to root my device to use this? Also, I noticed the the beach wallpaper looked a bit choppy on the Nexus S. Is that because of the video or is it a little too much for the Nexus S?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rawat:
You don't need to root for the wallpaper to work, just install it and you're good to go :)

Yeah, the wallpaper needs a bit of grunt to run properly. After all, it was designed for Galaxy S II which has a powerful dual core A9 SoC and Mali 400 GPU ;)

From what I can tell, that's a setting for how frequently it should check for weather updates. The wallpaper reflects the local weather.

Running the beach wallpaper on the EVO. Works great except in landscape mode. In landscape the wave animation does not cover the left and right margins of the beach by about a quarter inch. The only way I think this could be solved is by rescaling the wallpaper up, which would lower the resolution. In portrait mode though this is great.

[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Years ago, my elderly parents decided to get a computer and become "high tech". And ever since, I've been having trouble to get them to understand the basic functions of a pc. I still occasionally get the phone call from my dad asking me how to perform the most basic functions like downloading pdf files or downloading music. Just the other day, I was asked again how to get into email.

I recently got them a tablet so they could surf, check email, and eventually skype (when it finally comes out) while sitting comfortably on the couch watching tv. Somehow, they're not having trouble with the tablet.

I don't get it. They've been having trouble with the pc for years. I've always figured it's because of the multi-function aspect of the pc that's been giving them trouble. Almost everything else in the house (microwave, washing machine, dish washer, oven, toaster, tv, dvd player, bluray, etc.) has a perfect hardware-software integration and only serves 1 purpose.

But for some reason, they're not having any trouble with their first touch screen device. They're actually able to explore and find new ways at doing things with the gtab. I've been watching in awe as my parents do one thing after another with the gtab. Never seen them so technical before.

I can't seem to find a pattern here. How come they're still having trouble with the PC and yet they have no trouble with an android tablet? Anyone else observing this in their elderly parents?

PS - My 80 yr old uncle is thinking of getting a tablet after seeing how my parents have been playing with a tablet.
[G Tablet General] dhayden:
Doing the same thing with my mom too. Recluse and giving up on life at 71. The grab has really changed things alot. I put Facebook as a icon on the main screen and she now pecks away talking to my sister 1200 miles away. And her grandson too. Trying video calls next with Skype but haven't got there with working 2 jobs. The gtab has been a God send for me. Even jewels helps with mental abilities and now she is addicted. I can't get it away from her. I am really greatful for this wonderful device. Took it to work and a coworker bought 2 at woot where I bought mine. She asked me to flash them for her. I told her I would show her since she is like me working in lab and IT. Its a wonderful thing. Dan
[G Tablet General] dhayden:
The more I think about I think its about ease of use. Giving mom a laptop. She is afraid she would break it. Also size. Desktop means sitting at a desk etc. And a keyboard. She can't type. And oh I am going to break this big expensive machine. But she is good at hunt and peck.

Fear factor. By giving her something small, thin and eyecandy takes the fear out of it. Its more like a microwave screen than a huge desktop or even a laptop. Also her gtab has become personal. This is mine and I like it. Its fun and functional at the same time. You should see her playing stuntcar and steering the screen like a car. I also like to say she is partially blind in one eye and bad in the other. This has really helped her visual aquity alot in the month we have had our devices.
[G Tablet General] ntnunk:
I have had the same experience with my mother. She is a complete technophobe. So much so that she retired early from her career as a nurse because she was about to start having to use a Palm Pilot to monitor prescriptions and such. She's wanted email for years and we've tried computers, laptops, etc, all to no avail. She's intimidated by them or something and after a very short period she just stops using them. This is a woman who's scared to program numbers into her cell phone and usually asks me or my brother to do it for her when she needs someone added.

My brother broke down and bought her an iPad for Christmas this year and it's really stuck with her. She's using it everyday to email people (it's the first time we've been able to get her to email consistently) and search recipes on the Internet. For whatever reason, it doesn't intimidate her like every thing else, including her basic, no-frills cell phone. I don't know what it is, but it's working and I'm not complaining.

I'm starting to wonder if it isn't the touch screen that allows a lot of this. Is it that non-techies are actually more comfortable manipulating things this way? Perhaps a more natural method of input allows them to have a higher comfort level and the higher comfort level allows them to push the boundaries of what they know a little harder. I don't know, but it sure seems to be a common theme.

Technology tots

Funny how the elderly and the very young take to tablets/itouch but probably for very different reasons. My 4 year old grandson just bought $60 worth of extras off my daughters iTouch while playing a game.
[G Tablet General] crispyone:
Not to take your thread off topic, but yahoo messenger + video plugin works great on the gtab if you didn't want to wait for Skype to get their butts in gear. My wife and I use it everyday when I travel.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Have you any idea how many hours I put in to showing, explaining, showing again, explaining again, etc... my elderly parents, elderly uncles, elderly aunts, and all their computer illiterates how to use skype? Just last week, they had issues with hearing my parents. My parents had to call me and tell me about it. I, in turn, called all the way to the other side of the world to tell them to turn up their volume.

No, I think I will wait for skype on android, thank you very much.
[G Tablet General] lpsisrl:
Or turn up their hearing aid! :p
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
To the computer illiterates, something as simple as double clicking on an exe file is a world of confusion. Those who live in a modern country like the USA have trouble understanding this. Usually, when I tell people that my folks back in my home country have trouble finding the print button or even have trouble understanding the print button concept people don't believe me. Surely, they thought, nobody in the world would have trouble with clicking on print and out comes a printed paper.

Last month, one of our relatives back in my home country paid a couple of guys to set up their computer for them to yahoo vid with us. The dumbasses (the guys who got paid to set up their system) put the camera facing the front window. Those who have the least experience with cameras should know that you never shoot anyone with the sun as the background. Won't see anything. It took me about half an hour to instruct them to move the camera to face somewhere else for this side of the family to see them.

You know how when someone calls you on skype there's a big green button that says "accept"? Well, some people have trouble understanding the concept of a virtual button, so even something as simple as moving the mouse cursor to the accept button and press it requires time, explanation, and frustration.

You think you have it bad dealing with android newbies? Try dealing with people who until the last couple years never even know what a computer was. Now, try explaning what a mouse cursor is over the phone with the other side of the line being 3 thousand miles away.

Edit.

And to the previous post, have you any idea how painful it was to instruct them to press the Fn button while pressing the + sign to up the volume? They even had trouble understanding the concept of pressing 2 buttons simultaneously. And no doubt, some people here will not believe me. Again, surely, they thought, everybody in the world knows how to turn up the volume.
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
My guess is that you've already used some sort of remote PC app, but if not,

I would suggest trying out Teamviewer.

It's free for personal use and is dead simple to set up (you might consider setting it to auto-start when they turn on the PC - just put good PW protection on the service.)

I like TV better than any other Remote app.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Been using VNC pro. But again, the problem is trying to get them to install and give me their ip address. If I can remote control their PCs without having them install the software and giving me their ip's, then I might as well hack into banking systems and make myself rich.
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I know we went way OT here, but that's why I like TV. It uses the TV server's as an intermediary, so you don't need their IP. All you need is the ID for their install (which never changes) and their password. If you can get it set up the one time, then you'll never have that issue again.

You can even set up a profile/login to store all of the ID's that you commonly connect to (and their passwords) to make connecting/logging in very easy.

I have a small company with 5 remote employees who are at varying degrees of tech savvy. Once I got TV set up with all the ID's, I can take over their computer anytime I want ... Doesn't need their intervention at all.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Can you please tell me what TV stand for? Don't tell me to google. Every google result has something to do with television.

TeamViewer

[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Just spent the last 2 hours trying to instruct relatives how to run teamviewer on their vista pc. No go. I gave up after an hour trying to explain to them what a window was. I even showed them my screen showing them step by step instruction. They just couldn't understand why I couldn't "remote control" their pc because I already knew their email pass.

Again, you people think its bad dealing with droid noobs? Try being tech support for people who don't know what a mouse cursor is on the other side of the world.

TV is no go. Any other suggestion? Apparently, checking a box and clicking next is too complicated.
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I'm surprised they can turn the computer on.

I really don't know of anything easier than TeamViewer.

Did you try using the QuickSession? I think you can download the QuickSession app and pre-configure it to 'auto-dial' back to your system. 'all' you have to do is get them to run the app (which sounds like a chore in and of itself).

If you figure out how to get through this pain one time and get control of the system, TeamViewer will be your best friend forever :)
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Unfortunately, most of the problem is getting them to run the damn app.

See, we have to understand the fact that some parts of the world just haven't dealt much with a multitasking machine. A tv, vcr, frige, radio, etc. all have perfect software-hardware integration. people don't even notice the software part. They think the hardware is all of it. But with a computer they have to deal directly with software. Huge part of my problem was getting them to press software buttons. They just can't wrap their heads around soft buttons.

This is why back in my home country people get paid ridiculously high for teaching basic microsoft office skills. Heck I should quit my job and go back there and be a professor there.

God that was frustrating.

My mother just moved, and her old WinXP PC didn't survive the move. I built her a new one using an dual core Atom/ION2 mobo, and since she only browsed and checked email I installed Ubuntu. She is 84 years old.

I had made shortcuts for Firefox and Yahoo email on her WinXP box, so I did the same with the Ubuntu one. I even installed a WinXP-looking desktop wallpaper.

She had U-verse internet installed, and the tech booted the PC to do the online registration. He had to call me and said he had looked all over and couldn't find Internet explorer on the PC. I had to tell him that he was using a Linux OS, and not a Microsoft OS!

I considered offering my second Woot g-tablet to my mom, but not sure if she would really use it.
[G Tablet General] tenet420:
Wow, great thread reading about technology touching people in a positive way...

IMHO, LogMeIn Hamachi is hands down easier than ANYTHING else. Install, join network, finished.

It works similar to TV, but with less 'stuff'.

Install on your computer an create "My Hamachi Group"

Create a password for "My Hamachi Group"

Give your group name "My Hamachi Group" and "group password" to whom ever you wish to join your network

They simply install, enter "My Hamachi Group" and the "group password" and are now on your virtual private network.

Use good old native remote desktop to view remote computers, not another program. Works excellent with Vista and Seven when installed with right-click and Run as Administrator, no special tricks for XP.

Runs by default at startup and you can see who is available and connected at all times.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I looks like that is a windows program. I, and now my mother, use Linux. Fortunately (for her) she lives close enough that I can just go over to her apartment. If she ever starts to actually use her Ubuntu PC for something other than browsing/email, then I'm screwed!!
[G Tablet General] tenet420:
Hamachi (without LogMeIn) was originally open-source for linux/unix etc.

Linux Beta:

https://secure.logmein.com/labs/

I use it weekly to manage a remote server, works fine.

Of course, it is a nice excuse to go visit your mom :)
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Easier said than done. With teamviewer, all my relatives had to do was go through 4 very simple steps of installation and then give me the id and password. The 4 steps are (1) download exe file from my email, (2) double click it, (3) check the box agreeing to the license, and (4) press install. It took me about 20 minutes to instruct them to click on the right part of the email to download the exe file. Finding the exe file to double click it took another 20 minutes. Took another 20 minutes or so to check the agree box and press on next. You know what the stumbling block was? For them to find the window that tells them the id and password to give to me. They can't understand the concept of different windows showing us different software running. Heck, they don't even understand the concept of software. Minimizing a window, switch to another window, etc. are all completely unreachable ideas for them.

One came over to the US to visit last year. This was when I bought him a laptop to bring home. So, one day I came home from work and he asked me where the story online was. Puzzled, I looked and saw he had the web browser opened to that page. I didn't understand what was wrong. You know what was wrong? He didn't know he had to scroll down to read. A few months later, I had to talk to him over the phone to instruct him how to scroll down the page again.

No, I am not making this up. I have spent years trying to understand why these people have no problem using the tv, vcr, frige, microwave, radio, camera, etc. and yet they have trouble performing the simplest tasks on the computer. The answer dawned upon me when I noticed that my elderly dad could use the touch screen tablet a hell of a lot better than a pc. He's always had trouble using the mouse or understanding how to open up programs to do this or that. The concept of different windows and different programs also escape him. And yet, he's got no problem at all using the tablet. It was one of those eureka moment for me.

Of course! All these other devices have perfect software-hardware integration. The computer is mostly software when you use it. But with the tablet, since what you want you just touch and it pops up, it gives the illusion that it's hardware doing the work.

Moving the mouse to a soft button to click means nothing in the hardware world. But with a touchscreen, it gives the illusion that you're actually pushing a hardware button. And this concept is much better understood by people like my relatives and my elderly parents.

For now, I gotta figure out a way to get my relatives back home to understand how to switch windows around to be able to see teamviewer id and pass.

One could only imagine how frustrating it must have been for early techies to teach all these corporate oldies how to use the newly invented pc's.
