I tried the beta before it was on the market and liked it. I bought it when it came to market. I'm very happy with it. I don't use all the time. I switch back and forth between the stock launcher and the SPB. It sure is great to show to you I-phone loving friends. It's the WOW factor.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] swats60:
I'm using it and I love it! Its expensive! For an app
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kijp15:
Well if love the app, then its worth it. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna get it, but maybe sometime in the future. I'm still using the gingerbread launcher and its going pretty good. Ha. Not to many features, but its alright. :D

[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
So here's the beginning of my story...

While sitting down watching fireworks on the driveway, my phone decides to commit suicide via tumbling out of my pocket. Mind you - I don't have a case for it yet, and I'm still waiting for my screen protector to come in the mail. I felt the shift in my pocket and heard the *clack* sound as the phone bounced three times on the concrete before landing face-down. My heart dropped. After cursing up a storm I mustered up the courage to pick it up to examine it... As expected it was utter disaster. Nicks and scratches on every corner, and a little notch on the aluminum lining of the screen. I know I may sound dramatic, but I'm sure theres people out there who feel my pain.​

OK! fast-forward to today. I figured since most of the damage was to the back cover, I would just peruse this interweb thingy and find a replacement... Turns out they average about $35.00 a pop. Not bad. So then my imagination kicks in and I start to wonder if they're going to make a white Evo3D. Apparently not. Unless I'm mistaken there is no plan for a white one yet. Boo to that I say! So the guy I always argue with in my head blurted out "I might as well paint my own"... For once we both agreed and so spawned my plan...​

Here's my LIST OF SUPPLIES

2 SHEETS OF EXTREMELY FINE SANDPAPER

1 CAN OF BLACK PRIMER SPRAY PAINT

1 CAN OF WHITE PRIMER SPRAY PAINT

1 CAN OF GLOSS WHITE ENAMEL SPRAY PAINT

1 BOTTLE OF GLOSS WHITE TOUCH UP PAINT (just in case)

1 SET OF PAINT BRUSHES (for the just in case)

1 ROLL OF MASKING TAPE

1 RAZOR BLADE

1 BOX OF POP TARTS ( artists get hungry y'know?);)

Hmmm, paint job looks decent, imho...but great creativity! My main concern is that the grooves in the back are so thin and shallow, it seems hard to get a "factory finish" look on it. But, I'm sure this will inspire others to try to do the same. Maybe, fill the grooves with drywall spackel or sand out the grooves :D

Nice looking work on your phone....Interested in trying this myself. Before i do though i have a small request....Can you post pics in a week or so and show how well the paint job holds up as far as scratches and chips in the paint?

I know you mentioned that you applied a few layers of clear..that should help with durability...but i still want to see how it holds up....

Hi guys,

I'd like to ask for recommendation on an email client for android which could handle at least three email account with total of ~6000 emails and rouhgly 3GB of data.

I've tried already a few but all of them seem to either crash or stop responding once I start synchronizing.

Basicaly I want to have a 1:1 sync of my email accounts in my phone - why not to use it, if the phone has 16GB of storage space??

Many thanks in advance for your tips

dubak
[Android Apps and Games] Doktaphex:
You say you've already tried some but you don't state which, it would be better for you if you did. The only 2 email clients that I have found useful are 'Enhanced email' and 'K9 mail' I have no idea whether they would fullfil your requirements though as that is a F*@K load of emails.
[Android Apps and Games] tecjam:
I use K9. I don't quite have as many emails as you, but over the 4 or 5 accounts I use it's ~800 emails using ~1Gb of space on my sd card.

Yes, K9 did stop responding - alert popped up asking for force clsoure, I said wait and waited .... After a few tries it gradually synced them all and works fine now.

Hello guys...

We all know that this phone support USB-OTG facility...means we can connect mass storage device like pen drive through usb otg cable. I am using samsung galaxy I9003 phone whose OS doesnt support this facility (purposefully samsung has disabled it)...but our phone chip OMAP 3630 support this facility.

I think we can enable this facility through tweaks in kernal...I badly need help from from experienced developers of galaxy s2 because os of galaxy s2 support this usb otg facility...so if u people can give that files which are responsible for usb otg or if u can give me some hint to how to make changes in kernal or OS of my phone similar to galaxy s2 kernal so that I can also use such facility then really I will be very thankful to u...!!!

Post in the right place first of all (you're not developing anything on the SGS2)

Second, you can't just get "files" to make it work. You would need to look at the kernel sources and compare them, and read up on USB OTG to see what needs ported...

Compare SGS2 kernel sources maybe?

[Android Apps and Games] Obartuckc:
Very cool looking...what happens if you shake it? =)

- Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G -
[Android Apps and Games] Juan Kerr:
Xee,

You should see some balls appear when you tap the screen.

When you get 32 balls on the screen subsequent taps cause mini-explosions.

It's a very simple wallpaper, so no settings yet. I might find something to set when I update it.

Obartuckc,

At the moment, nothing happens when you shake it :)

It responds to the accelerometer by changing the direction of gravity on all the balls.

I could look into triggering something on a shake ... what would you like it to do?

Cheers,

-=JK=-
[Android Apps and Games] Obartuckc:
I like what you've done with it thus far, whatever you do can only make it more awesome! I really like how if you add a new ball on top of others they sort of fling out...perhaps shaking it could make them pop or sort of explode? That'd be neat. Whatever you decide, keep up the good work!

[Android Apps and Games] mk262:
This is a really cool wallpaper, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Spauldio:
Very Nice, but once all of the balls have reached the top or bottom of the screen there is nothing going on.

Could the ball toggle their state after they have been at the top or bottom a certain amount of time?

For example: after a blue ;)dropper is at the bottom for x seconds, it becomes a green :Dfloater and floats upwards and vice versa.
[Android Apps and Games] Juan Kerr:
Thanks for the feedback guys, great to hear.

Spauldio,

When you change homescreens the gravity should switch ... which will make all the balls start to fall and float again!

Cheers,

-=JK=-

PS - I'm using the onOffsetsChanged method to accmplish this behaviour - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/wallpaper/WallpaperService.Engine.html#onOffsetsChanged(float, float, float, float, int, int)

- but it seems a little inconsistent in when it's called ... sometimes called on "half" changes to the homescreen. Haven't been able to figure out how to make it robust ... I just switch the gravity flag when it's called.
[Android Apps and Games] Juan Kerr:
Version 1.1 !!!

Updated to version 1.1

I've kind of combined suggestions from Obartuckc and Spauldio. I've added a shake control, so that when you shake it gravity is switched and the balls all start flowing up and down again.

Hope this goes down well :)

Cheers,

[Android Apps and Games] Juan Kerr:
Thanks everyone :D

Version 1.2 is up now. I've added a new feature to reset the balls so you can start again. Shake twice within 4 seconds to reset!

ice,

I thought about using different background images, but it quickly becomes cluttered so I don't think I'll go down that route.

Different coloured balls would certainly be possible. They are pre-rendered so it would be a matter of generating some new sprites.

Hi Juan Kerr

I can't found the application on the market...

Is it because I'm on Mexico or because I have a Xperia Play.?

can you please post a direct lick to the app on megaupload or something?

Hi Hexen,

It should work on the Xperia Play ... it is on the compatible devices list for the app.

Thanks Paul...

I searched it by your name... IT WORKED... just downloaded. AWESOME.

Thanks:D
[Android Apps and Games] hexen2006:
After using it for this whole day and it works great on the PLAY, however when you have the PLAY locked and you want to unlock by sliding the Game Pad out it goes to landscape mode automatically, and the wallpaper got distorsioned... somehow looking like when you use the stretch mode for a 4:3 program on a 16:9TV...

But no biggie as we I don't use this mode a lot... most of the time I have the screen in normal position, however... I don;t know if this affect other sets.

Just a little feedback.

I totally love the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Juan Kerr:
Thanks for the feedback hexen, I'll look into it.

I think that because the wallpaper is using the accelerometer to detect the direction of gravity, it will be difficult to figure out a way to make it work when switching between portrait and landscape at the same time. I think I would need to create a new map and have it reload when it's in landscape ... which for safety of collisions etc would probably mean resetting all the balls too. I'm not optimistic about getting it to work like this.

To get best results for now, you should disable auto-rotation in your launcher settings.

I'm working on a release for this weekend with some settings and configuration.

Is there anything anyone would want to configure?

Colour requests for the balls?

Cheers,

-=JK=-
[Android Apps and Games] hexen2006:
Hi JK

Averything else is great, your app is my default lwp since yesterday, everybody I showed my phone found it amazing. :)

Thanks for your great work, hope you can update with more amazing features, the only other thing I found odd is the position of the lower edge, my Play is not rooted so when the balls finally reach the base of the screen they are difficult to be seen because the home/app launcher blocked them, maybe there is something you can do to make them more visible.

And about the colors, yes it will be a great idea... More colors more fun :)

Thanks

Hexen
[Android Apps and Games] hexen2006:
Oh, I just remembered one thing I think will be nice, some how while I was driving my car and making a call some dust landed on te screen and when the lwp came up it looked so nice... Like stars on the background, I know you discarded the option of custom backgrounds. But maybe you can throw in a stellar background (maybe some constellations or planets over the black background)

Just an idea.

Thanks to being so kind and consider all of our comments.
