how to connect to EDUroam

Firstly, this refers to connecting an HTC android phone (specifically the HTC Desire, but what I get from the web is that they are all much the same, these HTC android interfaces).

The problem starts when an innocent user looks for a WiFi network and finds eduroam. It then asks for not particularly relevant password information and cannot connect because the configuration of the default network setup is wrong. If you try to get the phone to forget that network it appears to do so that when you reconnect it still assumes that the connection was correctly set up. In order to get it to forget their network properly you have to enter the wrong password several times so that the phone thinks you have illegally trying to access the network. It then completely forgets.

The network discovery procedure will again come up with EDUroam, and the configuration should follow the instructions on the following website from Oxford University: <search for android eduroam oxford in Google>

In fact the names given on the HTC desire setup are slightly different. The important thing is that the EAP type should be PEAP, and the secondary type should be MSCHAPv2.

You then enter the username which will be effectively your registered e-mail address at your own institution, and then use as a password the thing eduroam calls "network access token" (16 lower case alphabetic character password generated for you if you buy your institution on request.

You then connect up and miraculously you have the connection you wish!

You should check that the connection is mobile roaming capability on your phone and checking that you really do have Internet and e-mail access as you wish through the WiFi connection directly.

the new version is finally out and avalaible on the market !!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seb.SLWP2b

Hello world,

just to let you know i made my own Live wallpaper avalaible on the market, just search for "earth live wallpaper".

I'm making this thread coz i'm from france and so i don't have access to US comments and some of you reports me there's some troubles like the earth spinning the wrong way.

To stop polluate the "Live wallpapers" thread of the forum, i decided to open this one dedicated to this wallpaper.

Feel free to post any comments or wishes in here.

If you like my work, feel free to offer me a beer ;)

or contribute

I want to mention the site where i grab all the maps :

http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/

and the one where i grab the realtime map :

http://www.die.net/earth/

Thanks to them !!

updated to market on 2010-02-21

-Deathstar2

-lots of bugfixes

-Customizable random map list

-Deathstar1 (also orbiting as moon around endor)

-No more loading texture in realtime map (except 1st time)

-offset planet position

-orbiting moon around earth

-crashed cached textures autofix to avoid sticky loading textures and need to remove earthrot folder by hand

-still looking for a proper way to wakeup service after the system killed it for memory, some tests in this version.

v1.2 is out:

-Fix of the realtime cloudmap+daylightmap.

Be carefull with the refresh rate as each update consume around 70KB of datas

-kind of matrix effect on screen sliding where icons and background scroll the opposite way

-add an option for spinning around natural earth axis.

-maps of endor and tatooine (still looking for a decent deathstar and coruscent ones)

Features in dev :

-engine rewriting in native code linked to GLES2.0 lib + GLSL shaders for rotation

-lens flare effect
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tortri:
Some bitmap of stars would be nice. Maybe an option where the earth moves and the stars move at a different speed if possible.

edit: Being that this uses the GPU and not the CPU, is there less power consumption? Just curious.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
i have no idea of the impact on consumption !!

i know that almost everything is sleeping when the screen is off or the globe isn't visible, but i can't tell you what's happening when you're staring at your screen :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Breakthecycle2:
It keeps force closing on me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Breakthecycle2:
Got it. Awesome! Can you do different planets?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DMaverick50:
I second the above poster's request for stars, and planets surrounding. I can only imagine how difficult this type of development is but if you made the wallpaper more of a solar system feel, with the planets spinning I'd pay good money for a wallpaper like that!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jongie123:
Really nice.Like it a lot.Keep up the good work.

.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tortri:
+1 to this!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ralexand:
The only request I have is for an option to automatically change from daylight to city lights based on the time of the day. Still a nice looking wallpaper.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] acidblade:
I second all the suggestion. also please if you can, enlarge the earth size, as on Nexus one it does look small. :D

thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
thanks for your feedback guys,

here's the roadmap for future updates :

-ability to grow or shrink the globe

-stars in the background

-automatic switch from daylight to night at fixed time.

-rewrite the engine to use GLSL vertex shader for rotation, and a fragment shader that do live day/night on the globe.

-more maps like europa, ganymede,jupiter,venus etc...

-redo the UVmapping at north pole which is actually crappy.

-TRY to do a complete solar system.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Awesome, good luck with all that, sounds like a lot of work but i'm sure it'll be worth it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Driskol:
Hi dude :)

i have other idea for a live wallpaper:

Digital/analog clock with selectable background and weather included:)

Im not sure if im the only that hates the widgets for clocks :P

Bye!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esincho:
good job bro!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Misty Blue:
I love it so far, but I'd like to add my wishlist:

-Scrolling to the left and right/zoom in and out (once other features are added)

-Twinkling, slightly circling stars in the background

-Moving clouds, twinkling city lights, weather effects on the earth (+100 if you can get it to interact with local weather)

-everything everyone else asked for
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Aeonys:
Bravo! Tres bonne App!

It's a very nice app! Can we have some background of stars, satelites, spaceships, international space station or something else as an option (to change from plain black)

Could we have the app switching from day to night with the clock

Could we have a size selector for the planet?

Great job anyway!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rydr1:
This wallpaper is SWEET!

I have one request a DONATE option!

This app is great and to continue the hard work some of us will donate.:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Freezey:
Better yet add a meteor shower&if you reallly wanna make it flashy show asteroids impacting earth
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chriss66:
+1 for that!!:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] john boot:
Love the wallpaper!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] StefanSarzio:
I just installed the dev version - it's awesome!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sixstring:
+1000

Just great !!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
wow, can't wait to test it :) you'll have it in dev release verry soon (tonight i guess ;) )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] StefanSarzio:
I wanted to post a screenshot, but wasn't allowed to. You can see it on my blog at stefan.sarzio.de

You can get this by setting the slider for the globe size at about the right edge of the Reset-Button.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
yeah, that's normal, the camera is placed just on the moon orbit at such distance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
Dev version updated. Starwars fans may like it ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] resist:
Nice....would be nice if there were a way to make it look less flat though...maybe some more dynamic shadowing...nonetheless, still looks great.

I assume there will be a "2" based on the "1" suffix. Maybe the partially destroyed version? That would be great.

For a free project you are making great effort...wish all these devs churning out crap for profit (the market is getting quite cluttered with some junk that overshadows the good stuff) would share your similar mindset.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwnvds:
Can someone please help mefind a way to download the apk directly from this thread to my phone? When I try to do it my stock browser says unsuccesful and content not supported by phone.although I thought I had downloaded an apk directly before. Using nexus one obviously. Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tizzl10:
umm..its in marketplace.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
Well if you want the official version, just install the one on the market. The apk in this thread is the dev version.

If you want to test the dev version, download the apk to you computer, go in the folder where u downloaded it and then do a "adb install SLWP.apk".

Maybe you can also install it by downloading it with a phone but i guess you have to enable third party applications in the phone settings.

Hope it helped you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwnvds:
Umm, the dev is posting the most recent updates to an apk on page 1 of this thread, but thanks anyway.

I solved this issue by installing the Dolphin browser which allowed me to download the apk directly from the forum. Couldn't do it with the stock browser. If anyone knows how to do it with the stock browser, like installing "Download Crutch", a la G1, for example, (which doesn't seem to be available for N1) let me know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aron7awol:
Whenever I've noticed the big white splotches on my realtime map, I've loaded up die.net in my web browser to see if there is a corresponding "white spot". In almost all cases, there hasn't been. I wonder if there's something else going on. I'm going to keep researching/debugging the issue as it appears, even though you are planning to render the clouds on the phone in future, eliminating the issue.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] diaco:
Great Work, Great support. keep going man!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
I've updated the dev version (2010-02-21)

i want to release it, so any feedback is verry welcome berfore !

i included a new 3d model for the deathstar2,a few requests and some bugfixes.

thanks for any testing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aron7awol:
Deathstar2 looks amazing. It's exactly the direction I hoped you'd go with this project.

Came across this photograph from space:

http://i.livescience.com/images/blue-marble-earth-100218_02.jpg

To me, that right there is the goal; to recreate that as accurately as possible. You've done great work so far. I'd like to contribute myself if you're open to that. Let me know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
yes, this is exactly what i meant with "atmospheric glow" :-)

great job so far!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
do you unistall app on phone, to reinstall the new one?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
not needed
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
not needed? the app not needed? uninstall not needed? I went to astro to install app and it says it is already installed.(disreguard I figured it out)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
yeah you have to uninstall the old version before installing a newer one
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
uninstall not needed. the dev said it himself in the post announcing that he would post dev-version here upfront (i don't know which post number, sorry).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
do you guys think it is stable enough for a market release ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
I have not seen any issues yet. runs like it should no problems.(pushed the options pretty heavily for the last half hour)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
hi, in practical terms (like no more white circles, no more "loading tags" and stability, i'd say, yes absolutely, stable

I did however do a logcat just now, and it says:

E/SLWP (430): Background Load GLError: 1281

however, again. it runs stable so... for me it's fine for a market release
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
I see the same in the log as well but no problems
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
It's really stable for me, yes. I think you can release it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
the 1281 error is due to opengl; the texture is not pure power of two so it generate this error, but it is more a warning. i should remove the trace, you'll always get 1281 with realtime map texture and 1284 error with backgrounds, but they are "normal" for me ;)

Thanks a lot for the feedbacks, i think i'll push it to the market tonight (french time ;) )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
sounds good to me :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] beagz:
works here too. No issues so far. Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Love the moon!!!! HAHA! Awesome!

Hey, a small idea to "fix" the Loading issue. The "Loading" looks really really ugly, but what about instead of "Loading" (or all White globe) you just let people choose a different map that will automatically get used if it can't update for some reason. That way, no ugly loading, but just a different map when it can't load. Put default as Death Star hahahaha!! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
ah didn't notice the moon at the earth maps until you said it xD Nice!

btw just a thought: what about another live wallpaper with the whole universe as a wallpaper? rotating around the earth or something xD and much smaller than the earth live wallpaper
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yeah, XpatriicK:

It's like the reality: The universe goes around the earth. ^^*lol*
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
Haha, it was meant as a joke ;D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Only one bug I see is that if you make the earth too large the moon has a black 'hole' appear as it passes across your screen.

I presume that's to do with the texturing and 'distance' it would be from where we're looking?

Also a request, is there ANY way you could have the moon rotating as well...??

Apologies, I forgot to add this is THE ONLY live wallpaper I use. Amazing work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwnvds:
I am still getting crashes when entering text on top of the home screen...even with today's version.

I would also like to see the moon rotating - or at least not fixed across the Africa. In its current form only people in Africa can see the moon...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
LOL :eek: :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
moon rotation is in progress, i'm looking for a good physic equation for it, based on time, but i can fake it easilly.

I still haven't found how to trap the kill whe u type long text in textboxes :( i know that the system is killing the wallpaper for memory reason, i 've implemented what i think may wake it up after the 5000ms, but nothing happens :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
DUDE!

This latest update is just outrageous!! Thank you for all your effort and time!!!!!

You should be working for Google and had this up and running as a stock Live Wallpaper.

Please add a donate app in the market, I don't have paypal and I'm feeling guilty even using this for free anymore. It's that good!!!!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
interestingly with the market update i have something now that I didn't have with the latest dev-version.

any time i switch from WIFI to cell the Earth becomes all white (probably reloading) for a (longer) while.

this wasn't like this with the dev-version. I just did fix_permissions to see whether that changes the situation.

again (have said it a number of times), this is my all time favorite app!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zeiroe:
unixseb ... love your work ... this is the only live wallpaper im using ... I don't know if this is a droid issue, but Deathstar 1, Endor's moon and Neptune all appear as white orbs
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
fix_permissions seems to have fixed it for me
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruasoh:
I'm with him on this. I have the droid and the those three maps do not populate.

Other than that, it works wonderfully!

I think that it would be really cool if you could choose what moon and the number of moons to orbit the planet. For example, you could have Jupiter with a couple of it's moons orbiting, or maybe have the Death Star 2 rotating around the Earth! It would work similar to how a solar system model would work (if that's where you're heading with this ;) )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flak0:
Dev check this out: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/ It basically gives you the position of the moon and the amount its illuminated based on any given date and location. If your livewallpaper can pull this info it may work. Dev by anychance can you add the Atmospheric glow to the earth map, and to that effect can you add the sun? Also the website you pull the data for the real time earth looks compressed. I will edit this post and post link if I find a better one. This is the only Livewallpaper I use on my phone..

EDIT:I included a sample below of what data the site generates for the moon position.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rj3005:
Love the wallpaper, in fact it´s my default wallpaper ever since I got my Nexus last week
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
great source, thanks a lot !!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Konklone:
Regarding donations - Paypal via the mobile web browser is pretty cumbersome. But, so is maintaining two whole versions of your app, one for donations and one not (I know, I do it for an app called Campyre).

What I wish I'd done, and recommend the dev does, is have a shell app that doesn't do anything - you just ask people to leave it installed for 48 hours before uninstalling it. No extra release maintenance on your part as a developer, and people can donate much more easily.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Konklone:
Oh, also, feature suggestion! Since we can have the moon rotate around the Earth map, can we make the Earth rotate around the Moon map?

That would be badass, especially for all of us with moon-centric philosophies.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
i have lots of reports saying it doesn't work anymore on nexus !!

am i the only one for who it works fine ?? damn !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Works fine here on TM UK.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elio:
Working like a charm on my Nexus...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Is there another version of this thats not a live wallpaper?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
i have a standalone version using the same engine, but only my daughter enjoy spinning the globe for hours ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
http://code.google.com/p/earth-live-wallpaper
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AliasDVP:
A suggestion

First; sorry for my english. I love your creation, it´s the best wallpaper that i´m never see.

My sugestion is, that you implement the option of schedule option when watching a certain planet. For example, the earth un the day and the moon in the night.

Thanks, thanks, and embraces from Tenerife island, Spain.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
works perfect on my NEXUS... the users that have problems must have some other corruptions in their system.

it's probably that once you are in the market, you are really out there. you can't make it right for everybody, because you don't know what it is going on each individual device.

keep up the good work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] knoxbrder:
Wow, the source code too?

Nice! and Thanks!

I'll enjoy looking through it and learning a lot when I have a few free hours!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] StefanSarzio:
I sometimes get a white earth (using earth+realtime data+moon). Otherwise it's fine. I use the version from the market and have a stock Nexus One (update1, of course).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pjcforpres:
Works 100% perfect on mine, from "stock" to Desire!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bswpt:
From Market it shows the same behavior like the apk from the link code.google.

After installing and firsttime use, if i want to change any settings the wallpaper forces shutdown, earth is and leaves white and so one. Removing folder from sdc and restart nexus one doesn't help.

Now i had at last version the code.google slwp.apk installed.

I would like to clean an wipe it out - where can i find the apk?

In wich folder?

I don't mean the earthrot-folder on sdc...

Next Question: What's wrong with the app or with my N1???
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
@bswpt :

to uninstall you can do "adb uninstall com.seb.SLWP" or go in the settings-applications, and uninstall the classic way.

the apk on the code.google.com is the same as the market so far.

If anyone wants to help with the code, he's welcome.

I'm learning android dev dooing this wallpaper and i may have missed a few elementary things like implementing wakelocks for the service (i guess it is why the wallpaper never wakes up from a system kill).

I more familliar with pure C, but i managed to get my code compile in the ndk, so i'm not far from a native version, and it works really faster !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Diceman4:
It works great on my Nexus as well! I have been enjoying this wallpaper since the beginning :-)

I also like the idea of having the earth during the day (With live shadow) and the moon at night!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwnvds:
Works great on my Nexus One but still gets killed by the system for memory. Is there a way to prevent it from getting killed by the system in the first place? Some kind of protection?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
I think the above post is the reason why you get reports saying it doesnt work. @unixseb
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
yeah, i know. i need a bit of help on this. i dunno what i'm dooing wrong.

the service is started with the START_STICKY flag, but i think i missed something.

If someone know something about waking up services after crash ... ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Mr Cyanogen (THE Android god) is your man I think.... ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
i won't disturb god with such things ;)

anyway, now the dev version can be found on the http://code.google.com/p/earth-live-wallpaper/ page.

new feature :

-moon rotating around earth (not fixed above africa anymore, still not real)

-moon facing earth right way

-random map mode bugfixes
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
Using dev version:

live seems not to load, only getting white earth.. worked with the first version you released with live view. Didnt check the other versions i think..

If globe rotation is inverted: the moon is still going the 'natural' way
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tomsan84:
I love the moon add, but it has no shade and its facing the wrong side. I should not be able to see the moons face with the earth behind it.

furthermore is works much better after the update
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bluenile:
Wonderful Wallpaper

This is the BEST Live Wallpaper EVAR. One suggestion, can you add the "Starfield" ( http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-kalicinscy-wallpaper-starfield-pEzD.aspx )wallpaper effect in the background. It would look too cool with the Earth+Moon settings.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jongie123:
Great work,really nice
