[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nexgoose:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Software Guru:
I love this
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danulp02:
is it compatible with the Moto Droid?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] makamiso:
Hmmm can't seem to find it on the marketplace and i dont know how to install manually. I would have thought the new Samsung Galaxy S would be compatible! help please :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tiredthinkingofnames:
New to the forum! Had to think of another name, again! However the wallpaper looks very well made, I will be installing it in minutes!

Oh btw, I couldn't find the wallpaper on the android market, I used the barcode & typed the name but no luck. I also had the same issue with another live wallpaper I was looking for.

Anyone got any idea what the fragmentation of the market is related to? As far as I am aware there is no country/continent restriction on the Android market place, is there?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AHrubik:
THANKS!

Now a small request... Contra :eek: ... you know you want to. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hairsup:
Working great on HTC Dream with Cyanmod 5.0.8!!!:cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] melodaf:
Download the .apk file (link in the beginning of the threat) and open it in your phone with a file manager of your choice (Linda Manager for instance)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] melodaf:
Of course there is a country restriction. I can't get any paid apps, and other free apps, as this one for instance, doesn't appear as well.

There is a Market Enabler app to fix this they say, but I don't know where to find it.

BTW, I live in Brazil.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mikey C:
I'm not finding it on the market nor is it letting me download it from this page directly to my phone. What am I doing wrong? Moto droid using stock android 2.1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
What is wrong is that Motorola specifically set the Droid's permissions saying it does NOT support live wallpapers. When it really does. It is a bug and they won't fix it. So Live Wallpapers will not show up int eh market if they are specifically set as a 'live wallpaper'.

Other people get around this by not stating it is a live wallpaper, just so the Droid can see it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sxmxkillswitch:
cant get it to work!

I'm using my mytouch slide,I've downloaded the file opener,installed the sb2 and I go to launch and it won't work.I go to home screen and it doesn't let me use the wallpaper.or give me the option of using live wallpaper!!!!! I'm goin crazy I love super mario and needz it! Help pleaze!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hairsup:
Suicidal Mario

Is it just me or Mario keeps falling down the cliffs?

I turned on the "show path" and sees that the calculations on the route is depended on the direction Mario is going, instead of forward. I'm no expert, but I just found it odd.

One more thing is that Mario will just stop and stands there from time to time.

Anyway, great app!:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] neologix:
great wallpaper! one issue, tho:

every so often, when i slide my desktop sometimes the ground/ceiling tiles or taller bullet bill launchers (usually 4 or more small marios tall) would "tear" or ghost. using launcherpro 0.65 as my home.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] th3k1d:
I'll attach it for you!

The app is pretty simple open it, and on the first screen press the button that says "Save current settings" to back them up in case something wont work, then press the tab that says "Setting list", long press on the provider that you want to fake and then press "Fake this provider now" on the pop-up that appears, then make sure to allow SU permission to the app and your all set!

Enjoy ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xaueious:
Works great on Acer Liquid. Missing in market though in Canada.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nitrius:
Great live wallpaper. Got a question though, does this use any more battery or take any more performance out of the phone compared to any other live wallpaper?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
Great, thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] melodaf:
Wow thanks man ! It worked like a charm :-D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hansmrtn:
I get the frequent FC after booting
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Apologies if this is old news but I was watching Thursday's Attack of the Show today and they were reviewing the new Droid X and guess what live wallpaper they had running on the phone? Not only was that pretty cool, but they actually stopped to talk about the LWP itself. Alison Haslip really digs it. Big time man, big time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jtn7040:
i'm still watching and waiting for mario to make a mistake =(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Togadood:
I downloaded it from my computer and tried opening it with Adobe Reader by accident. So now it comes on my phone as a .Ink. I have Androzip and I try changing it to an apk and download it but it sais there was a problem. Can anybody help?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
Just get it from the Market
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lawsofpower48:
this wouldnt work with htc hero huh?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AyuCon:
Awsome, works wonderfully on Galaxy S
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ukG1freak:
You know what...When I stumbled upon this it instantly brought back memories of my childhood, pwning the living heck out of my NES. Great job Dev, Top quality wallpaper...the fact that it's random and not looped is amazing.

+10 :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CentralMoNexusOne:
How hard would it be to make mario into a little Anrdoid man? Maybe have the option to select between the two?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BasieP:
content is not supported on this phone....

i have a galaxy S... meaning i should be able to show live wallpapers (others do work)

why doesn't this one?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Read the 4th question in the FAQ section on the first page of this thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hackm0d:
Thank you so much for finally making the first live wallpaper I've seen that doesn't slow anything else down and keeps itself running smoothly!

The battery life is affected immensely but then again my battery life wasn't very stellar to begin with.

If I honestly had a PayPal account or a credit card I would definitely buy you a cup of coffee.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] yummymango:
Awesome live wallpaper! Thank you!

I wasn't able to download it from the Market either. I'm running a rooted MyTouch with CM 5.08, but I downloaded the .apk and it runs great!

Off to test it now. Thanks again!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ArcticWolf91:
Why is this not in the market anymore?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hackm0d:
Get the APK and install it on your device.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I'm sorry but what are you talking about? The LWP is still in the market. Still number one in the Themes department.

Maybe your phone doesn't see it. Like hackm0d said, just install the APK from the first page of this topic.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ArcticWolf91:
I scanned the QR code and it came up empty.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Yes, some users have that issue, but the app is there nevertheless.

In any case, if your phone can run Live Wallpapers, then installing the APK should do it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chopsui:
If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to get an admob adview into your preferences activity? I'm working on my own LWP and I can't figure out how to get it to work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
It's easy. I've sent you a PM.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bendrexl:
Awesome! Couple ideas + donation bribe ;)

Awesome work dude! I'll happily toss a cup of coffee your way :) And I'd happily make it a pizza with a few tweaks...

Frame rate currently affects the gameplay speed - I'd love to be able to slow down the gameplay speed and ramp up the frame refresh rate to 25-30 - control them both separately to give a silky-smooth background that's not quite so hyper movement-wise.

Also, I (personally) wouldn't mind if the level state & Mario's movement was pre-determined instead of dynamic - if AI is the biggest hog, maybe that would cut down on CPU & battery load?

Just $.02 from the peanut gallery, thanks again for sharing!

--Ben
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Frame rate thing is a bit tricky, since physics is heavily frame-dependent just like the original engine was (instead of time-dependent). I had some ideas on how to double the frame rate without doubling the time line speed in the process, but it requires a lot of changes in the physics engine.

Howerer, 0.93b (already in final testing stage) brings a resource-saving "playback mode" as you suggested. I am waiting for a reply of a couple of testers and then it will get published. Expect it soon :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulobrien:
My 'featured app of the day' today... link.

I'd love to see a Sonic the Hedgehog version! :P

P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Thanks again!

I'm hesitant about these sort of things because of copyright issues. Mario Live Wallpaper was made from open-source material, but what about Sonic?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulobrien:
Hmm, true...

P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
0.93b has just been published.

0.93b, published 2010-7-17

- new "playback mode" which saves battery, turned on by default

- smoother shifting of Mario

- added an app icon, explaining that this is a live wallpaper, and describing settings

- removed a limitation which prevented some devices from seeing the live wallpaper on the Market

- further bug fixes

ALERT! All users should now be able to find the live wallpaper in the market, since I've removed a limitation to hide it!

Edit: Testers should upgrade to the latest 0.93b, because your 0.93b is outdated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] worker1:
The new battery-saving playback mode is the bomb. Very cool update. Thank you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Excellent as always.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hackm0d:
Excellent as usual. Emailed you feedback for the test version, do please read it. :)

This was working super until today.

(re-apply live wallpaper)

Works now. Just thought I'd paste that to you. 10/10. This is spectacular. This live wallpaper is the envy of iPhone fanboys around my office.

You're converting people to Android with your fine work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Looks to me like a fatal dalvik error, something that is brought up only very rarely because its reason is that of a bug in the system software (specifically, dalvik subsystem) or instability of the CPU. Mario LWP might have brought the error up but I don't believe it is its fault.

Googling for some keywords out of your logcat brings up only a handful of hits, some of which include similar errors with Googles Sky Map. All those errors seemed to be terminal (caused those phones to reboot), so not sure why yours didn't reboot either. But that certainly is not a common error.

Why did the wipe of the settings help? No clue.

That was my intention all along. Muhahahaha...

...just kidding. Apple makes great devices and operating systems, but make me as a developer make a decision between a closed system that constantly threatens me to reject my work, and an open system... Well, I'll take the open system every time.

Even if Google doesn't allow me (or any one else from my country) to put paid apps on the Market. BAD GOOGLE!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jug6ernaut:
i think u need to move to the usa for like 2 days do what u gotta do to get it on market then go back ;).

Because u deserve to get paid for this imo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] keedog:
When u made this was it from a video file? (mpg, avi, mp4, etc.) And if so what r u using to make video files into live wallpapers?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
The first sentence in the description says: This is a live wallpaper of Mario playing randomly generated levels. Notice the word randomly! It's not video, it's either artificial intelligence or a playback mode simulating artificial intelligence.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
New version is out:

0.94b, published 2010-7-23

- by popular demand, removed the app icon that was added in 0.93b (now Help)

- new configuration options: Help, Changelog

- new group: appearance settings (with a preview)

- new appearance settings: Background color, Overlaying color (usefull for dimming)

- increased buffer to make transitions in low priority mode smoother

- ad space on top of settings is now reserved
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] worker1:
The new "overlay color" is awesome. Helps me to not get distracted by mario when trying to find things. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prettyboy85712:
Any chance adding Luigi in future versions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] emanon86:
I updated to 0.94b, but the app icon is still in the app drawer, not functioning (which is one of the objecvtive of the update), when i tap it ,it says "this application is not installed", but i have no way to remove it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dyndragon:
might just try force stopping and restarting your launcher application
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Biffert:
Absolute awesome live wallpaper! Any chance of having more games to choose from? (other Mario games, Megaman, Metroid) Thanks for the great wallpaper!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JRDad:
Seconded...I'd love Mega Man or Zelda. I would assume Zelda would be easier though. Either way, I love the app...kudos. Its all over attack of the show which made me download it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I'd love if you two read the FAQ section on the first page of this thread.

Just saying...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Biffert:
Ouch, sorry mate :-) the nostalgic gamer in me was so excited I didn't read all the way through.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
No problem. Believe me, I get tons of email asking about these stuff even though I'm VERY clear on the market about the "web page before email" request. Even though this inevitably comes with the support for any product, it still puts me a little closer to the edge at times, so my response might feel offensive at times. Sorry about that :)

To everyone:

Sooo.. Say I implement a skinning support (for now, a simple image-swap). Would any one of you be willing to make some skins?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Foxwolfe:
Skinning for what specifically? The sprites? The backgrounds? I'm just curious as this sounds interesting.

Also (and the main point of my post) I just happened to stumble across this last night before bed in the market (G1 w/2.1) and I must say I am quite impressed. The option to black out the background and then add a transparency layer over the top really sealed the deal for me as it allowed the LWP to run super smooth on my aging platform and allowed it to not be too distracting when looking at the homescreens themselves.

Definitely my favorite LWP so far.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Yes, I mean sprites. And also background layers. Basically everything that gets drawn.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
So I guess no interest then... OK, fine by me.

Unless there is?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GameOver69:
any reason why this live wallpaper requires network access?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] [RiS]:
it's an ad-supported app
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Also, it is clearly explained in the FAQ section (2nd post of this thread).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
There you have it: this live wallpaper has been suspended from the market due to a legal claim by Nintendo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jon6206:
I randomly stumbled on this early in july in the market on my G1 w/ froyo and almost cried when i saw it in action it ran almost perfectly on my dinosaur. just got my vibrant today this was the first app i looked for in market couldnt find it (almost cried again) searched xda found ur thread and jumped for joy. ur awesome im jealous tho i should've thought of it first lol :) THANK YOU
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Are you serious? That's some BS right there. I mean I understand it's their right to do so but don't they realize things like this BRING attention to their product which in turn can lead to increased revenue? I can personally attest that after running this on my phone for the past few weeks, it actually made me go out and by the latest Mario Bros. game for the Wii. That's money in their pocket generated by something given to us for free. Ain't that a *****?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] worker1:
WTF this is the most epic wallpaper ever. Who is this "nintendo" anyway?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Yeah, especially since I was making a ton of money with it.

[sarcasm off]

You wouldn't expect that from the creator of something, but even I liked it enough to consider buying the wii just for the New S.M.B. Guess they just have too much money and they don't want more.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jaimepar:
This is awesome. Poor Iphone users
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Haha, exactly. I mean, the Nintendo offices must be a lovely place to be right now if your wallpaper is the biggest "problem" on their agenda. Now I'm going to go dig up my old Sega Genesis out of protest! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] judianmac:
I am new 2android. Trying to install but having issue. Please help! !! The issues I am having are as follows: Do I need to open APK From Desktop or just transfer to phone memory card?? Also I am familiar with Zip so know how to use it. This looks awesome ans really want to install. I just can't understand Nintendo. If they r that inane, then they should offer to BUY program from u. Could u do the same from Metroid?? :eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Step-by-step procedure is explained in the FAQ section on the first page of this thread. The question is

I can't download the APK. My phone says "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone". What to do?

And also read the answer to this question:

This is so cool! How about you theme it like this game? Or make another like this other game? Or maybe that game?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
that blows. any chance for future updates? though I don't know how this wallpaper could get any better. could maybe just release them here.

im using a mac and cannot find the file with androzip ? :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Didn't give you what option? Did you try following directions from the FAQ section on the first page (the question about not being able to download the APK).

Make sure that the file is on the microSD card. So download it with your computer, connect the phone to the PC (or take out the card and put it into a card reader) and transfer the apk to the card. Then try searching the card using androzip on the phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eep2378:
I'll try putting the card into the card reader on my mac and see if I can get it to work that way. Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eep2378:

Do I have to be rooted for this?

No, you don't. There's a question in the FAQ section on the first page that describes exactly how to download/copy/install (the question about not being able to download the APK).
