Thanks heaps for the wallpaper, it's awesome!

One bug I've found is that the wallpaper stops when I unlock my phone. I'm guessing because I use LauncherPro, which is maybe classed as launching an app? The wallpaper starts again once I open and close another app, though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
That's a preety big bug, I'd say. Though I too am using Launcher Pro and it works fine on my device since the day I developed it.

Are you using a registered version of Launcher Pro? I'm just guessing here (since I use the free version) but what if Pro's widgets are stopping it?

Also, the live wallpaper is made to give a priority to other tasks in the system in which cases it appears to stop. Try disabling "Low priority" in the settings of the live wallpaper (and skip a level) and see if the problem continues. If it fixes, you might want to look at the CPU usage for any out of control apps that might lurk in the background.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jimmy-bish:
It actually ended up fixing itself over time, with no software changes made, no widgets added or removed, and no reboots inbetween. I have no idea what was causing it!

The phone's a rooted Galaxy S with the free LauncherPro (not using its widgets, though), JM5 firmware and a lag fix applied.

Either way, it's running perfectly now and has been for the last day or so! It's been rock solid while I've changed the lock screen, added extra widgets, reboots, etc. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thernandez:
Thanks!!!!!

First, this kind of stuff is why I got an android phone.

Secondly, small issue. The screen will not rotate when phone is rotated. Only rotates when keypad is opened (Moto Droid running Froyo stock).

Great Job!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Thanks.

That is not an issue that the live wallpaper could cause. There's usually a setting for that. You should ask about it in the appropriate thread and forum.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ckeyz81:
I cant seem to save the wallpaper on my sd card. I save download it to pc and try to move it to the sd card but it says the disk is write-protected. remove the write-protection or use another disk. I want this wallpaper. Please help me. I have a sumsung vibrant,

Thanks

Chris
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tmcquake:
Just installed it! I can tell this is going to be one of my favourites! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Uhm... ?

The basic procedure is to connect the phone with the usb cable, then select the notification that's telling you that you can mount an sd card (if the app didn't already start automatically), then select mount SD. Then you will find a new mass storage device in My Computer. Copy your file to that device. Then use the "Safely remove" feature on your PC, then unmount the SD on your phone and then finally you can unplug.

If there's anything not working in the above process, you're better of asking about it in vibrant's forum, they should know more about any potential issues that relates to your device.

PS: Welcome to the forum!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ckeyz81:
I guess i will go into vibrant forum then. Im not having any problem mounting my card. thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] menace6420:
Hey there,

I followed the directions you posted and almost have it working except that when i finally press install my captivate says "Install blocked: for security purposes your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market". Is there a way to fix or get around this? Any help is appreciated. I know someone else asked this very same question and you directed them to the FAQ. But I followed the instructions and two things happened, 1) when i entered settings>applications, there is no option for "unknown sources" and 2) even though im using androzip, i still get the blocking message
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qwertylesh:
I have not came across a droid which didnt have the Unknown sources option. quite bizarre.

Maybe this is because I use a rooted droid or something, even on my touch HD the ported droid for that had the unknown sources option.

In any event, it has to do with your android rom. you could change roms or find a way to add the unknown sources option somehow (maybe by rooting?)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] omnibus42:
This will never leave my phone.

Well unless I see a Super Metroid version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] omnibus42:
Put it on the internal memory if need be. I mean you have 16g of space. It works great on my Vibrant.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jflexe99:
I can't seem to get this to work... :(

I have it on my SD, use androzip and says for security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market.....

How do I get around that??? I am trying different things
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] globe8756:
yea i'm having the same problems lol i think im just missing something?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Look one or two pages back for a discussion on this and possible ways of solving it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] globe8756:
i have, i've tried everything from downloading SW to using androzip, my phone is rooted and all that stuff, but i still get that stupid error, and theres no option for allowing non market apps to check =(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jflexe99:
Use the Android Central Wonder Machine....worked PERFECTLY...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] globe8756:
i did! it gave me some random error about not being able to find the path?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] menace6420:
I have a problem I's hoping someone here can help me solve....I've successfully loaded the Mario apk onto my Samsung Galaxy S sd card but when I go into Applications there is no option for "unknown sources". Thus, when I go into Androzip to install the wallpaper I get a message saying I cannot install programs that are not from the Market. Can anyone help me?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Is it one of those AT&T deals where non market apps are disabled?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] menace6420:
yes it is an att phone, does that mean there is no way around it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Correct.

Call your carrier and complain, it's the only way it will be addressed. Even better, cancel your contract and move to a different carrier. Hit them where it hurts.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rahstyles:
This shyts wack.. its not letting me open it on my evo 4g
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] EeZeEpEe:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Shinomitsu:
Trying to download directly to my Epic 4G said it was unsupported for this phone.

Do I need to transfer the file from my PC as well?

Why is that anyway?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Supercar Ace:
EPIC!!!!!!!!

If you are in So Cal I will sooo by you a some pizza :)

Now for a Sonic the hedgehog one....:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] whitenerj:
I'm running the SRE rom on my Samsung Captivate and the Mario wallpaper causes my phone to lock up and I have to take the battery out to get it back up and going. It works fine when the phone is on the home screen but when it goes to standby and the screen locks it won't always come back on when I try to unlock it. Too bad cause I really liked it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fitchman:
It's not going to happen-- from his FAQ at android.ccpcreations.com

I know this has been stated ton, but while pikipirs did an amazing job with this app, the level generation software was developed my Markus Persson, and the AI was developed for a Mario AI competition 2009 at marioai.org by Robin Baumgarten-- see the About option from the Settings menu for more info.

Thanks again for your hard work on porting all of these amazing open-source projects to a tiny and efficient wallpaper, pikpirs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I've been doing some updates recently, or at least trying to. What I've done is I borrowed textures from some other open-source project and I doubled them in resolution. Now, a similar thing seems to be happenning on my Nexus. Though not to that extreme, I can still turn it on and disable the wallpaper. Looks like I've reached the limit of the capabilities for live wallpapers.

Guess the next step is porting the rendering engine to OpenGL. That'll be a big step for me as I haven't really done any real projects in OpenGL, let alone the embedded version.-

Oh and btw if I'm able to fix it, it will contain NO proprietary material so it should be suitable for the Market once more.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qwertylesh:
nice!

I hope you can get your live wallpaper back onto the market, it gives you really good exposure to a larger droid userbase :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sftitan:
would this work on droid 2?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] smittynsc:
a little advice please

once i have dowloaded to comp what do i do, or do i need to download to phone?

Amazing app! I loved it so much I donated. Thanks for your hard work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SuperDave81:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
I just downloaded this and installed it on my Vibrant and it is so cool to me. We need a Zelda OoT live wallpaper next.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Is it possible to play Infinite Mario on your phone with Nesoid or Snesoid. I could not find the ROM on ROM buddy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Infinite Mario is not a console game, so no. It's a Java game. I believe someone mentioned a playable android port a couple ob pages back.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 1newthang:
best live wallpapaer ever works perfect also works your battery fast oh well very much worth it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] midnightsights:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bax5:
Samsung Galaxy S i9000m. The Bell Vibrant.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
This sometimes happens when the APK is corrupt. Try downloading it again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mich2Ga:
This even works with the evo...

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] weenerz:
Worked perfectly on my captivate. Thanks for the hard work, amazing live wallpaper.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RR Sephiroth:
I have a question... When I'm in the androzip app I hit install on the mario live wallpaper an I get a message saying For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in android market. Do u know how I could maybe bipass this? This is the only wallpaper that I've seen that I've really wanted to use on my phone but like u said in an earlier post it's no longer on the market (for AT&T atleast.) If u could help me with this that would b amazing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
What phone do you have? Try going into android's settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources. Enable that and try to install again. If you don't see this option then your carrier probably disabled it. You can still install apk files with a sideloading app, like this one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheFallOfTroy:
cant download it :(

i have a Samsung Captivate Galaxy S running 2.1, and when i try to download it, my phone says 'due to android safe lock, you cannot download things not form the android market' is there anyway to turn of safe lock that you know of?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] down8:
AT&T block non-Mrket apps. Using what's called "sideloading," you'll be able to get your fix of non-Market apps - do some googling on "side-loading captivate".
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tjk639:
Love this app. Sucks that it got kicked from the market place.

What are the chances of you creating other livewallpapers using video game references?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Xjph:
It's a little sluggish on my telus backflip (cracked 2.1) but great nonetheless.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Slim since they would all be kicked from the market eventually.

However I invite you to look at another live wallpaper I've made: Video Live Wallpaper. Download a 360p video from youtube about ANY game you want and then set it as a live wallpaper on your phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OneBadLT123:
Hey guys I am not sure if this has been told already, but I found a way to get the file to open without having to use Androzip and transferring it to the SD card.

Here is what to do... You need a Gmail account

Download the file on to your computer (wherever you like to put files)

open your gmail account on your PC and attach it to an email, then email the attachment to yourself.

Go to your phone, and check your email and open the attachment. It should install automatically.

ta-da! (You need to make sure you have the unknown sources protection unchecked in app settings)

:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tjk639:
Sounds great! I'll have to check it out!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zackmario:
The download links do not work. Can't get the APK.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Download links are fine, I just tried them. You aren't trying to download with a default android browser are you? Because you can't on most phones. Try a downloader app, or any alternative browser (like Dolphin or Opera), or download with a PC and then transfer the file to the SD.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubewalker:
Awesome work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rattleau:
G'day mate.

Just wanted to say thanks very much and congrats on such an awesome thing.

This is my first ever phone (Galaxy S) and I've never done anything like this before and your instructions were perfect and this newbie/novice had it running in no time.

I love it and so do my kids.

Thanks again. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Groboto:
Im in love with this! :D

No matter what I do each time I try to download this to my computer it won't let me. an application installer program pops up and then tells me to connect a mobile device even though my phone is already connected. What can I possibly be doing wrong. All i gotta do is click heh, this phone hates me I swear

ETA

I figured out what the problem was. installed and running smoothly nice work bro
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kogorou:
i love this!

cool:)

i'm developer too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Elius2676:
What if I don't have "Live Wallpapers" as an option when setting wallpaper??

I have an htc Hero running Android OS 2.1 update 1 and have downloaded and "installed" some live wallpapers... the problem lies in that I don't have the option of selecting "Live Wallpapers" in the "Select wallpaper from" menu. I can't even find where these wallpapers downloaded to on my phone... and the app market has no way of applying them. Anybody know what to do/try??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Elius2676:
Never mind everybody... I just learned that the Hero was just not allowed to do Live Wallpapers because of its lack of processing power. Hope that helps anyone else that was in that same boat... just need to get a better phone (ie: Evo, Droid X, Optimus, etc...)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] G1-evolve:
You sir, are the best.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
Any reason why it needs full internet access?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Ads. Though for some reason, my account has trouble showing them lately so you might not see any yet. They show in settings.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
By the way, this is so totally awesome. Is this based on an entry to the Mario AI competition, is it something you entered?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
Oh, another thing, you should check isPreview() and manually set the xOffset to 0.5 when on the preview screen, as it is I don't see Mario at all on the preview. Either that, or just initialize your offset variable to 0.5 at the start. It looks like it is using 0.0 on the preview screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
It's from the winning player of that competition. The info is in the about section.

Will do. Thanks for that little piece of info!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] apristel:
WOW that is fricken awesome. installed.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] alexland:
THIS IS THE SICKEST THING EVER, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

(all caps on purpose. I literally said "OH NO WAY" when it did the considered paths thing.)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
very nice.

CPU usage stays above 40% even with 10FPS+LowPriority.

Under 40% with the 5 FPS setting. It does not matter that its in slo-motion :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Very cool, even if it is just for show. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jug6ernaut:
Wow this is awesome, really awesome. With that said the performance leaves alot to be desired...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] alexland:
Is there any way we could make this just a standalone app? I know that's a weird request, but I'd love the ability to show someone how cool this mario AI program is without having to change it to be my live wallpaper.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plisk3n:
Installed. Amazing!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shorza:
I like it, but how can i uninstall it if i wanted to?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wOoT_WoOt:
anyone else getting entertained watching Mario? :3
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I guess it should be possible. For now, download "show off (your live wallpaper)" from the market. This requires that the live wallpaper be set, but it clears homescreen elements from the view.

Via the usual route. Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications. If it's not there, select to show all applications (either with a tab, or a menu, depends on what Android you're running).

Yeah. That's one part of the problem of wasted battery :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
New version published!

0.91b, published 2010-6-26

- fixed preview bug, where Mario wouldn't be in the center

- introduced "Always in center" option to force Mario be in the center all the time

Cheers pik, i didn't realise that i had filtered out some apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MATT7835:
so cool~

thanks brother~

its so good~

toilsome~:eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kebong:
this is my favorite live wallpaper. not only because i am a huge mario fan, but because it's that one live wallpaper that doesn't lag my homescreen to hell after prolonged use. probably because of that "low priority" option.

anyway, one thing that kinda bothered me was the mario sprite that notch (the dev where OP got the sprites for the live wallpaper) used the Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. 3, when the background he used was from Super Mario World... So I replaced the Mario 3 sprites with the correct Super Mario World sprites for my own personal use, but anyone who wants this can also use it.

i take absolutely no credit for the following apk. screenshots included :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fastamx79:
Dude... awesome!! That is one thing that bothered me as well. Nice having everything matching now

Thank you!!!!!

(Im a HUGE SMW fan as well and still play that game today!!)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Goodwillisforlovers:
I have the newest droid phone that sprint makes why won't it let me download the wallpaper?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] legendofakira:
can not find after download

so i downloaded it to my phone (HTC EVO Sprint) opened it after download was complete and now i cannot locate the file on my phone and it does not show up in the "live wallpapers" menu option. help please!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] muffinflesh:
Hey, I love this wallpaper and I have no problems with it having ads in settings, but for some reason I get ads from it whenever my phone is locked. I'm using widget locker and am on a rooted Fascinate w/ blackhole 3.0 12/30 kernel etc. Any idea why?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Whoa, a first mod of my app, I'm honored :)

Seriously though, really, I am! :)

MLW doesn't get much developer's love lately, seeing how it's been removed from the Market. I used to have a plan to include the ability to skin the MLW with custom sprites, and reintroduce it to the Market. However I would need sprites that aren't from Nintendo, something from the public domain world, something I can't get sued for. I would include these sprites as the default, and would add an option to load custom sprites (in a zip format maybe). Does anyone know a game named Secret Maryo Chronicles? I could use sprites from that game but I don't want to get them in trouble. Tried contacting them already but no luck. Also, there is this one sprite that still reminds me of a mario game; a turtle - it looks a lot like a Koopa.

Try hints from this site (try the link about how to install an APK):

http://android.ccpcreations.com/mariolive/mlw-download

You would also need to install the file. See the answer above.

That shoudn't be possible, especially since live wallpapers are paused and the processor is suspended when the phone is locked. Plus, ads only appear in the settings screen, which means they get destroyed in memory after you press back to go out of that screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] momocu:
thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ExileZA:
Best live wallpaper ever! Have you considered creating a few other 8 bit nintendo game based live wallpapers?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Thanks. Yes I have, and then Nintendo forced me back to the ground by banning MLW from the Market. Since then I've created Video Live Wallpaper (link in my signature) that lets you use any video (some formats are better than others) for your live wallpaper.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JoelyMole:
