thanks alot for the Move to Sd feature! but my fone restarts when i press move to sd on froyo 2.2 .. was wondering if anyone else has that prob.

edit: installs fine on SD! i did a wipe n reinstalled froyo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nenco:
Nice app, thanks!!

A question, why droids fall down faster (and more realistically) when the display face the ground, is possible to always fall down that fast?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] taz5176:
ques could be out of thread

notice that this app have the wallpaper stationary, the background image do not scroll like normal android when scrolling between screens. how is it done? or any app able to do this without the little androids?

wallpapers set & save used to work but not anymore
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Arni-01:
Thx! really funny and awsone!! I like it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Actually, I think this is a bug with the accelerometer.

Did you activate both sensors? Gravity and accelerometer? Or only the gravity?

This is actually the default behavior of the LiveWallpaper API. To have a wallpaper reacts to sliding the developer needs to implement the sliding effect in the onOffsetChanged method. Mine is empty yet :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zeboo:
@Yougli

Did you get my point, how to do it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] taz5176:
ic, thx. actually i do prefer wallpaper stationary rather than having the sliding effect
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Version 1.5 is out.

This version should greatly reduce battery use.

I've added a few tweaks to the native code of the app, mostly caching of java methods to prevent loading in each frame. This gave me around 10 fps more on my system, but the increase depends on the number of apps installed.

I also added a frame rate limiter so that the app doesn't use as much CPU as it can. The app will go into sleep if the rendering is fast enough to maintain the limit set.

This change should reduce battery usage in most cases.

You'll also probably notice that I'm giving a try to admob. Don't worry, the ads are only displayed in the settings, not in the wallpaper itself. And I might remove them if they're not worth it.

I hope you understand.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lou2serious:
The latest update makes the androids move around a little choppy. I actually am trying to go back to the previous which had no issues for me. Great app hopefully it keeps getting better.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nenco:
True, very slow in my nexus with stock 2.2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Irishpride:
Here is a Droid Gingerbread icon, I think this would look great with your wallpaper, however I have no idea how to set it up the way you would need so that it would work correctly. Here is the icon if anyone would like to do it. Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ng_tim:
Same case here...my phone is Desire w/ 2.1...

Hope new version will be available soon to fix the problem...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Hi,

Version 1.52 is out, this one fixes the settings issue, and hopefully should smooth the droids animation while keeping the battery use improvements.

Please report :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Thanks for your skin.

Please have a look at the FAQ and skin submitter in the official website here if you would like to submit it:

http://www.shake-them-all.net/

Basically you should split your skin in 5 parts: body, left/right arm, and left/right leg, using the dimensions specified in the FAQ.

Also don't forget to add transparency and save them as PNG24.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nenco:
Sorry, still choppy, even with one droid :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] taz5176:
hi Yougli

possible to release a version that is able to set the number of droids to 0?

so to use the wallpaper stationary
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Still can't see ShakeThemAll on the market. I scan the image on your site and it comes up with no matches. My phone specs are in my sig and I live in Florida, US. Should I uninstall the manually installed apk first for it to show on the market??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Hi,

Version 1.55 is out.

This version merges the skin selector and the skin downloader in one place, the skin manager.

You can now apply your skin directly from the skin manager (automatically downloading it first, if you don't already have it).

The skin manager also allows you to remove skins from your SDCard, and rate your favorite skins (use the contextual menu by long pressing a skin to see all the available options).

The cache file needs to be updated, so don't worry if the loading is a bit long the first time you open the manager (Wifi recommended).

Also note that I've been asked for a donate version of the live wallpaper which is available here:

This version is sold at 1 euro, and is the exact same version as the free one, except for the ads that have been removed from the settings.

Now, to answer your questions :)

taz5176: I don't get it, what would be the point of using the wallpaper without droids? Can't you use a static wallpaper?

Treatcon: it seems like there are some issues with custom roms not finding the app in the market. I don't think manually removing the app will fix the issue, but you can try.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nenco:
Really can I have the version before 1.5, newer are too slow
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Sorry but no, I don't keep older versions of the app...

But you can help me trying to fix your issue: what is your phone / rom? do you use any other applications that may be CPU intensive and conflict with ShakeThemAll?

Also note I've released v1.56 to the market, which includes a cropping tool for background images.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] valve timing:
this live wallpaper doesnt work for the my touch slide the error i get is activity not found
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ng_tim:
Hi Yougli,

Actually I also experience the same problem (becomes slower) on my HTC Desire. Previous version (should be version 1.49 or earlier) does not have this problem.

Also, for the latest version (1.56) with wallpaper crop tools, is it possible for you to let us choose whether we need to crop or not? The crop tools seems always recompress the wallpaper thus making the wallpaper quality becomes lower...

Anyway, this is really a wonderful wallpaper, thanks for sharing! ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Hi there,

I've uploaded a new version.

v1.57 now includes 'slide' effect, and a little fix about the updates of the skins ratings (ratings were cached and never updated).

The background is now twice the size of the screen, and will slide when switching between home screens. The droids are on a different, smaller plan than the background, which gives a sort of parallax effect.

In the next versions, I'm going to have a look at the 'slow' issue, and the crop tool issues.

The crop tool I used comes from the camera activity which is available on most android phones. It seems that some phones don't have this activity, hence the 'Activity not found' error. I'll include a check of the availability of the activity.

I'll also add a check on the selected background size, and if the background is already in the right dimensions, skip the crop tool before applying it.

Finally I started trying to add the ability to apply several skins to the wallpaper, and it turned out to be more difficult than I expected. Much things need to be changed... I'll keep looking into this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] silverstream:
How can I get back 1.56 ? The slide effect to me is not really that nice.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jacobmwatson:
Love this app. Its by far the best live wallpaper there is. I do however have one suggestion (although I dont know if its possible). It would be really neat if there was an option to allow widgets to act as bumpers. So that when an android hit one instead of going underneath it bounced against it. Sorry if this is impossible or silly just thought it might be cool. Keep up the awesome work
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
can I request a skin here? I don't remember who did the froid skin but...

could you make a froid in cyan using the cyan droid from the home screen tips in CM6? please and thank you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Works great on my N1.. I like it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
You can't.

I planned to add the slide effect as an option in the settings in a future release.

I'm glad you like it, and I already thought about adding the feature you suggested. Unfortunately there is no way to know where the widgets are located, you can only detect when a new widget is dropped on the screen from a wallpaper.

I might be able to achieve this by tracking all added widgets, but this would be difficult and might introduce new bugs.

On a side note, I've been working on another small app lately, that's why I didn't spend much time on Shake Them All or this thread.

As soon as this app is finished, I'll start working on a new version of STA.

Don't worry, there's a bunch of things I'd like to add to it, so I'm not giving up :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MrRalphMan:
I assume that this doesn't work with the HTC phones, HTC Desire as it doesn't show up in the HTC widget, or any other, section.

I'm too new to this scene, 3 days and counting, to know if the Android Widgets can be used on the HTC Sense.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
It should work, maybe you're looking in the wrong place :)

This is not a widget but a live wallpaper. Try pressing your 'Menu' button while in your home screen, then select 'Wallpaper', then 'Live wallpapers', ShakeThemAll should appear in the list.

Hope this helps.

On a side note, I've released my new app:

Put.Io application
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MrRalphMan:
Ah, that might explain it.. Will try again..

**Edit** Yep, that worked.. Cheers... Very nice...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] silverstream:
It lags for about 5seconds on wake (after a long sleep), and then everything is silky smooth. Just wondering why is that so and anyway to improve it ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythmystic:
Just installed few min back, best Live wallpaper ever!

Works flawlessly on HTC Desire ....

Loving it every bit!!!

Thanks ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Sorry, I didn't see that post :p

Maybe the system uses most of the cpu while waking up, not leaving enough for the wallpaper, hence the lag. Not sure if there is any way to improve this, but I'll have a look at it. I never noticed this behavior on my phone though.

Thx, I'm glad you like it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] badasschris:
Hi I am using samsung galaxy s stock rom not done anything to it and this app doesn't show up in market. how can i get it? Is it because I'm in UK?

EDIT - I downloaded from your site and the wallpaper is really fun especially with the option to download new skins - thanks so much for this wallpaper
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] anod:
I like the wallpaper, but I have a bug... (Using N1 froyo with LauncherPro) I think it related to screen rotation... See attached picture...

When I rotate screen to landscape and back to portrait it solve the problem.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Glad to know you found a solution, but I would be interested to know why you can't see the app on the market.

There is no location restriction, so that that's not because you're in the UK.

And as far as I know, the Galaxy S runs android 2.1, and supports Live Wallpapers (some 2.1 phones don't support them).

Sometimes some apps simply disappear from the market for a few hours, could you check again and tell me if it's still not there?

Yes, this is a known issue quite difficult to debug. I really need to spend some time on it, but thanks for reporting :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ultra spikey:
I'm on a stock Vibrant(Galaxy S) also, in the US, and can not find your app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
I've done some research, and it seems to be an issue with how Google filters apps in the market regarding new phones.

This is a quote from HTC, but it can be applied to any brand:

Source: http://phandroid.com/2010/04/20/goo...switch-on-copy-protected-apps-for-new-phones/

The article is about copy-protected apps, but I guess it applies to any market filtering (especially the famous <uses-feature> tag of the manifest file, that allows to filter LW enabled phones).

So, the only option left is to remove the <uses-feature> tag in my app, leaving the android version (2.1) as only filter, which can't be done since there are now phones that run 2.1 which don't support LW...

Or you can simply download the APK from the website:

http://www.shake-them-all.net :)

milestone

Couldn't find it on market for my milestone. Downloaded from the official page and it works pretty well on 2.1

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vinnie05:
Love the wallpaper, really cool.. i made my own little Collingwood Football Club (aussie AFL team) droids and have added them on and they look awesome... thank you very much..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zwade01:
Thank you thank you thank you! This is by far the best LWP I own. It works flawlessly on my rooted Droid Eris with KaosFroyo oc'd @ 806mhz. It was not in my market, but I followed the links through your website and dl'd it from there. GREAT WORK!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dendirk:
Hello,

great wallpaper :)

ONLY one question, where can i download the official pyramyd nexus wallpaper but without the live feature so only the pyramyd wallpaper in the correct resolution :)

I just love this wallpaper but i dont want the batterydrain from the live feature

thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Thanks for submitting your skin, I've added it to the skin manager :)

Sorry, but whaaaat?

Not sure you're posting in the right thread :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nicholasbgr:
Can't find the app on the Market. My phone is a Motorola Milestone(2.1) and I'm in Brazil.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GFXi0N:
Amazingly working on my Galaxy Spica !!!!!!!!

Thanks!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DavieMarshall:
It's fun and it works well. But it rapes the battery. Still, these things can't be helped. For it's worth, I like. Quite an innovative Live Wallpaper.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rude_Dollah:
Skins problem!

I have HTC Desire rooted with original ROM

can't use skins, i create folder in SD card ShakeThemAll/skins/*skin folder*

sample /sdcard/ShakeThemAll/skins/bruce

but skin manager can't see skins, he write:

Couldn't download skin list. Check data connection

(but SD card working good):confused:

this bug without internet connection, when i reinstal app and turn on wi-fi skin manager updating and add skins from SD
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Well, actually, this is not really a bug. The skin manager needs a data connection to get the list of skins from the website. Hence the error message if you don't have an internet connection.

Anyway, you should use the skin manager to install new skins. You don't have to copy files manually, except if you wish to use your own skin.

On a side note, I've started a blog where I will post some pieces of code coming from Shake Them All and my other applications. I thought it might interest some android developers out there :)

The first post, the complete code of the color picker I made for Shake Them All, is available here:

http://www.yougli.net/android/a-photoshop-like-color-picker-for-your-android-application/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] killfill:
Hello.

Sorry for asking this... but, is the source of this application avaiable somewhere?

Thanks!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Sorry, no, and I don't intend to make this an open source project.

But... I will publish some parts of the code on my blog:

http://www.yougli.net

There are already 2 articles describing code from Shake Them All, and more will come.

If there is a specific topic you want to know about, let me know and I'll see if I can make an article about it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nutzzz:
Custom Skins

Yougli, thanks for approving my skins (uploaded under the name Nutty). I can guess why the Bart Simpson version of the baby on the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind didn't get approved. (Should I draw trunks on him? :p )

As I suspected, I think I need to play with the limbs a bit more. Unfortunately, I'm working in the dark. I can't seem to get skins to show up when I place them manually in the /sdcard/ShakeThemAll/skins/NAME folder, either with the new format (body.png, right_leg.png, etc.) or with the old format with the droid_ prefix and only one leg).

Is the new version you mentioned allowing more configurable limbs forthcoming?

I'd like to make a request for the next version: Can you make the battery indicator code available to skins? I don't know how it's been coded, but you could, for example, make any pixel with the color FF00FF be used as battery indicator.

Thanks for making this awesome toy.

Nutzzz

( HTC Evo / Froyo )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
I would have approved it, but it came out with the default body and arms. Maybe something went wrong with the uploader. Could you try submitting it again?

Try replacing an already installed skin. This is how I try on my phone the skins that are submitted before approving them. Simply replace all the png from any skin you already installed :)

Not yet, and this will take some time as it would need to rebuild most of the physics engine :p

I'm not spending much time in android dev lately (not enough free time), but hopefully this will change :)

That's probably something that can be done easily. I'll try to add that this weekend if I can find a moment.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] silencer22:

I'm a noob without fantasy with photoshop :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MaverickHHH:
awesome live wallpaper. Thanks dev. It's my favourite!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tetracortica:
i was really fond of this app, until something happened today, somewhere along the lines of my friend messing around wit it, then the app got stuck, so i just restarted my phone and it was fine, left it for a while

now i noticed and in the skin manager, the list is only half as long, and my previously downloaded skins, which i have checked via astro file manager, are still on my phone, but they won't show up

i have tried uninstall, clear cache, reinstall, etc. but the list remains half as short, so in other words, manually installing skins won't work, and the list of available skins is now half as short, any advice how to fix? thanks

edit: oh yea and i data running and wifi too so...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tetracortica:
oh nevermind, so i deleted cache.xml in the folder and forced the app to re-download the skin list,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubewalker:
It's funny to shake it! Nice work
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] demize!:
This is an amazing lwp. I rave about it in the Vibrant forum. Love the Domo, Sockboy and Mazingers, big Go Nagai fan. Few lil.bugs but I think you'll iron them out.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Hi there,

I realized I forgot to mention the last few releases in this thread :p

So basically I've fixed a bunch of FCs in the last 3 releases, and I added translations from Google translate for all the market-supported languages.

Sorry for the lack of accuracy in the translations (Google translate is far from perfect), feel free to tell me if I need to change some translations :)

Also, if you want to be notified of new releases and new skins, join us on facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/shake.them.all

PS: I've updated the first post
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Hi there,

I've just uploaded a new version to the market.

This version adds a notification system that allows you to be notified via the status bar when new skins are available.

A new entry in the settings has also been added to let you set the rate of the notifications from 0 (totally disabled) to 24 hours.

Merry Christmas to all :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
Hi,

I've fixed a major issue with the new notification system and the skin manager.

Some of you might have issues with the skin manager loading forever.

This is fixed in the last version (see first post), which also adds a notification for the new versions of the app.

PS: can a mod move this thread to the general android section?

This app is not really specific to the Nexus One anymore.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DemoBytom:
I have an issue with this app.

I'm using LG GT540 with android 2.1 and I can't set image as a wallpaper. I can only choose colors. Whenever I choose wallpaper I get the img selection tool, then img cropping tool and when I accept it doesn't use it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] WakanTanka:
Hi!

Yougli nice work,congratulations!

But...

Same phone, same problem.Yougli, any idea or suggestion?Thanks!:)

Best regards!

Someone should make a Leprechaun. just sayin. and a 4 leaf clover
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yougli:
I'll try to fix this issue, but without the actual phone, this might be difficult.

Could you provide me with a logcat including the logs for when you actually try to set an image as background?

PS:

On a side note, I've created a standalone app version of Shake Them All! so that everyone can enjoy it, even for those still with an old version of Android that doesn't support Live Wallpapers, check the Xda thread here:

Shake Them All! The application
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 1338h4x:
Pretty neat. Two issues I've noticed: I'm seeing jpeg artifacts all over my custom background, and they sometimes fall outside the vertical edges of the screen. Is there anything I can do about that?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bryanohbryan:
Shake Them All

Yougli,

Shake them all is feakin' awesome...I got everybody hooked on it. I have submitted about 40 skins but only 9 have posted. These are fire...you gotta get them up. Thnx for the best LWP out there.

Check out my pic link below to see all my skins made so far....

if any1 has any ideas drop me a line...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] riahc3:
This has problably been asked or answer but I cant read thru all 54 pages. Problably should be added to the first post :)

How do I make a skin? What specifications are required? Is there a tool to do it?

Thanks.

EDIT: I actually ment a "private skin": Example: A droid of my girlfriend naked bouncing around :P Obviously I dont want to upload that to the skin database so how can I do it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] androidchik:
Does anyone know how to remove a skin? I accidentally d/l one I didnt want. Do you just remove it from the SD card? TIA!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ezizzle95:
Hey yougli. I posted my Pittsburgh penguin skins last week. Did you get around to approving them yet?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sensei22:
Hi, has anybody tried this on a HC tablet? I tried it on my acer a500 but the physics does not work well at all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] The Poetic Vampire:
Not sure if this is considered a "geomagnetic sensor" problem as you have written in the TO-DO List, but i'm just putting it out there just in case. I'm a Xoom tablet user and i really loved this live wallpaper, i have it on all my phones and it works perfectly, bur for some reason, whenever i install it on my Xoom, instead of the droids falling down, they always fall to the right as if the wallpaper thought that i had my tablet rotated another 90 degrees. Thanks for all the hard work and awesome wallpaper.
