Coolest live wallpaper yet! Keep it up :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HamSummit:
very cool, but on my SGS2 there is no background.. even if I disable render background and choose a red background, the background stays black.. would be very nice if you could fix that.. perhaps it's because the sgs2 doesnt support the same texture types like others..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Waffle265:
Thanks for this. It's a great idea.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] coszy:
Thanks dude

Same issue on my SGSII as well, no background just black.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cmomo:
Same problem for me too on SGSII, its driving me crazy as this is the coolest wallpaper ive ever seen and SMW is my fave game of all time. I hope the developer comes up with an update or workaround as nothing ive tried worked.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nelsocracy:
I installed this and now I'm getting nothing accomplished because I just stare at it!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] etherspin:
well works TOO well on my SGS 2 , mario runs 4x too fast and takes out about 7 enemies a second :o) even with framerate on highest setting and priority set to low!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nomgle:
Surely you need to lower the framerate !

Great work on the Mario LWP! I was hoping that I could use this to make a Sonic (Tails Prower) version but I ran into troubles signing... or something (i.e. I couldn't get it to work) I have created all the images though. I was hoping me+you could make it together.

Please reply, <I took down email for security reasons, I have enough spam thanks to Gmail>. Hoping to make magical LWP soon, hope you can help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CaiKroll:
I have finished porting Tails sprites to the LWP. Will upload soon. Have it running on my SGS right now!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CaiKroll:
Mario LWP with Tails

I have done what I have been able to do so far. This is much like the Mario LWP but with Tails in place of Mario. I am working on a fix to fix the following error however it isn't easy. You must uninstall Mario LWP if you have it installed before installing this. This means that unfortunately you can only have Tails or Mario.

Hope you enjoy, it took a while to port the sprites over.

I may do a Sonic, since he has no tail(s) thus looking more like Mario he'd be easier to port. However the mappings are too hard for now, so Mario's World is whats staying for now

live wallpaper not supported for my phone

ok here it is , im using a boost galaxy prevail and tried to download the live wallpaper via the qrcode and was told 2 times that it was not supported on this phone . does this mean my phone isnt running the correct android version to run this ?? i know some about the phones and that some apps will only run on certain versions of the os and higher , but still a newbie to this area of technoligy . any help i can get is appreceated ! sry not very good on spelling here .. THANKS IN ADVANCE !

Jesus, you really did great work in this thread, i always wanna check if your wallpaper get undated every time when i come to this forum.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KKTHX:
awesome wallpaper. u did great job :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sax1031:
I have a Rezound and I love the wallpaper.

Does the app support higher resolutions though? And if not, do you plan on updating it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Hey,

Sorry I was being away for so long -- so a big quote post time again! :)

Thanks!

I'm updating it, porting the rendering engine to OpenGL so its faster now (also glichless as far as I can test). Added quite a bit of stuff really. Unfortunately there is an issue in ICS that I'm currently resolving so I can't publish it yet.

Undated? As in -- get more up to date? Sure ;)

Well, it is in the game's original resolution. Gives it a retro look, you know.

------------

The updated (or should I say new) version I'm making will have better looking textures but they won't be from Mario. Hint. What do you guys think - should I be able to republish it (through the market) with this new look without Nin***do taking it down?

Cheers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sax1031:
Thanks for the update man.

The wallpaper is awesome. Great work man.

Nooooooo...... Keep the old SNES Mario graphics please, that's what makes this live wallpaper so cool and retro!!! I have been waiting for an update to fix the Samsung Galaxy SII graphics issue to be able to use this awesome live wallpaper again. Or if possible two versions maybe...... old SNES Mario (optional donation version) like the 0.49b version. The Secret Maryo one you hinted at can be on the market with no issues I guess, don't see why not....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] almightywhacko:
I am seeing the exact same issue on my Epic 4G Touch (Sprint GS2).

I'm kinda sad, because this live wallpaper is always the first thing I install when I get a new Android device :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] olouk:
OMG !

What a great stuff ! Thks a lot ! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] newguy0804:
Please dont change the mario theme. thats what drove me to this app in the 1st place. Ill be happyfo make a donation if i get a fix for my epic that has mario otherwise i have no interest.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mucus_android:
I can't wait to try this out on my epic!

thanks so much!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ryououki:
Please leave it with the normal SNES graphics. I am eager for a new version that will work on my SGS2. Thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drachenmp:
Yea I'd love for this to work on my sgs 2!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] loonieryan:
Does this work on ICS?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] guille31794:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] adamforeman:
I agree, the original look is far better, maybe as others have suggested, have an option as "RETRO" and keep the original graphics but publish it on the Market as the graphics from Secret Maryo as the default.

Nintendo if they were smart, would release a live wallpaper themselves like Namco has with Katamari and Pac-Man.

Mario Live Wallpaper works again!

So something I noticed or found out by accident. My Epic Touch 4G (Sprint's Galaxy S2) with the Gingerbread firmware had an issue with the graphics produced where the backgrounds looked all messed up, an issue with many that used this live wallpaper. I upgraded to the Ice Cream Samich stock firmware (now FF11) and it works again!!!!!!!! So happy its working again, guess it was an issue with the Gingerbread firmware on the Epic Touch 4G......

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wagenheimer:
I installed it on my Samsung galaxy s7. But how do I activate it? Is it supported?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OniKyanAE86:
You activate it like any other Live Wallpaper....

Once you download and install a live wallpaper you pinch on a home screen with 2 fingers and then tap Wallpapers.

Select the select where you want the wallpaper applied either just the Home Screen or Home and Lock Screens from the drop-down menu in the upper left corner. Select the live wallpaper at the end of the image scroll at the bottom of the screen an then tap on the Mario Live Wallpaper.

Second option is if you have a newer firmware that now brings up the Samsung Themes, forcing you to only use the wallpapers available through the app, you can install the Google Wallpapers app and be able to select the Mario Live wallpaper through there.

Or third option, if you use a custom launcher, get to the settings that allow customization of the home screen and select Wallpaper options ie. Nova Launcher tap and hold on the home screen it backs out and options show, select wallpapers, scroll the image scroll on the bottom until you come to live wallpapers and select that, next select the live wallpaper you want.

Oh one last option...... https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] s3nr1:
Still using it in 2018. Quality work. For Samsung Devices download Livewallpaper Setter (or something like that from the Play Store). Samsung disabled setting LWP on their devices.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OniKyanAE86:
I have no issues setting live wallpapers on my Note 8, Note 9, wife's Samsung 8+ (all on Oreo). I use Nova Launcher as I can customize everything to my liking. By tap and holding on background on Home Screen, then select Wallpapers, then scroll to Live Wallpapers, select Live Wallpaper, tap Set Wallpaper and option for Home Screen only or Home Screen and Lock Screen shows, select your option and it's set.

Made it all these years til the Pixel 8 Pro w/ Android 14. Now "App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone". Thanks for all these good years!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OniKyanAE86:
So I have been using this wallpaper on all my phones since the app was released and I had purchased it on the PlayStore so many years ago. Just upgraded to the Samsung S24 Ultra and it's no longer compatible... Any chance for a small update to allow it to work on Android 14 and newer if possible? Pikipirs, hope you are well and still here on these forums and you see this post. Thank you so much for this live wallpaper that I have enjoyed for close to over 14 years since it released!

Currently stuck using the GigaGuy live wallpaper for now (available on the Playstore). Basically it's Mario Live Wallpaper, but with Megaman. It's not Mario Live wallpaper though, lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zerojay:
The problem is the app is 32-bit because it was written way back when. The source isn't available and so it cannot be compiled for 64-bit and the S24 doesn't allow 32-bit apps at all.

I tried to download the Giga Guy live wallpaper but it says it's incompatible with the S24, so not sure how you installed it. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OniKyanAE86:
Hello Zerojay, I was just able to search for it on my previously, non installed apps section, and then reinstall it directly from the Playstore when I was setting up my S24 Ultra. For me it shows compatible with all my devices on the Playstore. I attached a screenshot of the Playstore page for the app where it shows it installed on my S24 Ultra and the many other devices I have...

Maybe another way to get it installed on your S24 Ultra is to use any other device you might have that it shows up for, install it, and then use Samsung Smart Switch to copy it over.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zerojay:
Can't do that either as my Fold 4 says that the APK is for an older version of Android that is incompatible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Celeborn_81:

Wouldn't it be possible to include a simpler AI (If it loses from time to time it wouldn't be sooo bad?) or to cache the AI moves so there wouldn't be so much battery drainage?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
if battery is an issue then dont use it. its fine how it is
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eco_was_taken:
Neither the direct market link, QR code, or APK work for me. Stock Droid 2.1-update1. The Downloads window says "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone." when I download it.

Edit: Downloading on my computer and throwing it on the SD card worked. Awesome work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] skinnypupp:
Looks neat, but having your CPU run at nearly 100% just to run a wallpaper is a serious waste of resources. My Desire's battery life would probably be no more than 2 or 3 hours! lol

cool idea though

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Not likely.

Read official google documentation to find out why:

http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html#ShouldNot
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
So if I install this say via Astro with Apps2SD enabled, it's still going to install to system regardless, is that correct?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I'm going to conform to google's guide and not enable the "Move to SD" feature for applications which are not applicable for it.

If you find a way of moving the app to the SD (by forcing "Move to SD" or with Apps2SD), do it, but know that there might be negative consequences for doing so.

Why bother anyway :confused: I'd understand if this was a multi-MiB app, but it's not even 200 KiB in size...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kerensky97:
This is one of the coolest things I've loaded on my Incredible! Everybody at work thinks it's awesome. Super Mario background is cool, once they find out that it's an AI playing by itself everybody wants to see.

As a possible suggestion; could this be turned into some kind of benchmarking app as well? Obviously FPS but it would be neat to show how many calculations per second the processor is cranking as well. Throw in more enemies to see how much a processor can handle before reaching 100%.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bfspider:
I doubt that this will happen. The live wallpaper is similar to the Infinite Mario AI competitions that happen yearly. If I'm wrong, I'll stand corrected :).

You can read about it here:

http://julian.togelius.com/mariocompetition2009/

The 2010 competition will happen in a week or so. The AI competition is rather cool. I like AI version that will try and follow your mouse pointer and still play the game to survive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtube_gdata&v=qYluZRwrw9w
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
Check the About in the settings, it was a direct port of the level generator and the winning AI. The video you linked to is from the winner too I believe.

On reddit he said he was interested in seeing if his 'follow mouse' mode could be ported to this wallpaper using tilt controls.

He was impressed with the port of his AI code to Android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bfspider:
Cool, I didn't know about the settings message.

You're correct about the youtube link. That was the 2009 winner. Can't wait to see what 2010 brings.

Follow mouse mode would be neat with the tilt sensor. Another idea would be to make it use the finger tap responses like in the Nexus One live wp or the water pool with the leaves.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] l3reak:
For your group of people, you know you have to enable a setting to install non-market apps, right? Settings-->Applications-->Check "Unknown Sources". I've seen some of you with other errors, but could it just be something so simple and basic tripping a few of you up? It's just so odd, I'm on a totally stock Droid 2.1 device as well, never rooted or anything, and though it wasn't on the Market it installed with zero issues for me, no special installer needed or anything. I wonder what the difference is?
