-- We recently added the ability for you to make the skinlet make sound with the recent upgrade.

-- Upgraded with TEXT capability, and Photo gallery.

Just install on my N1 working great !

How can we remove a widget ? just select one and change the size to 0 ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
You could either make the size zero or make the brightness zero.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hankv2:
Hi, works great on Nexus one.

Please can you tell me how to make our own one.

Best regards.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kwan:
This is awesome. Which one is the first screenshot?

Also noticed the video had some not available to download.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
The first one is "Desire"

The wallpaper are created for each specific model, and hense not all are available for different screen size, We are hoping user will create the content themself the sample you see now are just but sample created to show what we are doing.

We are planning to release the tools to allow everyone to crate their own live wallpaper by the end of this month.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Honestly77:
Please take into consideration that wallpapers made for the" Desire" will work with the nexus one/incredible/moto droid and a lot of other 3.7 inch screens. So please don't make the wallpapers phone model specific. And even if the screen size changes upto 4.3 the resolution is still usually 800x400.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Doesn't work for me. Well, that is, sometimes it works, but most of the time when I try to open or preview/customize a LWP, it doesn't show and give me a "check if your sdcard is properly mounted" error.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] polo79:
That's not an apk. That's a.zip
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] johnnie93:
check inside the zip...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Deanna4711:
I got FC on Nexus with Modaco r21 and ADW Launcher.

Doesn`t work with ADW??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
i am running ADW and it work. maybe ur rom ? i am on cyanogen 5.0.8
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
It should work with the ADW launcher
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kwan:
Could I get the desire theme for the nexus? I really like those widgets.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evolute8:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kwan:
Thanks for the desire theme on nexus!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kwan:
Question, I thought the clock in the background was supposed to be live on the desire theme?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sokha10:
I'm using SE X10i but don't know why cannot find DIY ownskin in market. Of course, market works ok. You have other link to doenload it? Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sokha10:
I am using SE X10. Market works well but don't know why cannot find DIY OWNSKIN. You have other option to download?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
You try go to your phone homescreen, press menu, press wallpaper, can you see livewallpaper option ? If you can't see, your phone does not support livewallpaper and not able to use DiY OwnSkin even you install it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sokha10:
I am using SE X10. Market runs OK but don't know why cannot find Diy ownskin. You have any other link to download it? Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sokha10:
Yes, my phone supports livewallpaper. The issue is cannot find DIY in the market application. Any idea? Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
Thats weird, anyway, you can download and unzip this: http://www.ownskin.com/lwp/oslwp.zip

Then install the APK directly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sokha10:
Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, the page could not be found even i tried on phone or pc.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
Sorry typo... try again http://www.ownskin.com/lwp/oslw.zip

After installed, let me know if DiY OwnSkin works for u or not.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] WRAITH07:
Hi, great app!

One question: to make an animated LWP would I need to upload an animated .gif?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
yes, use animated gif to make animated stuff.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
Updated the tools to be able to create Gallery and Text input

Hope you guys like it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] numberattic:
how do you get the gifs to animate by touch? i cant figure that part out, i see no option on the website or phone for it. also how do you get the eye to follow you in the video? that was pretty cool.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rominucka:
This is a great feature and app to boot, and is one of the reasons why Android appeals to me so much.

See, I'm an old MUGEN stage maker from way back. The last stage I made was of the 1980s TARDIS console room from Dr. Who.

I've imported all the elements from the stage but I'm stuck at a few points.

I need the center-column rotor to bob up and down like the clouds do in vid in the first post. I can achieve this by making an animated gif but to save on file size and processor power, I suggest the implementation of sinusoidal movement parameters.

In MUGEN you can code an element to have x and/or y movement set by a number of pixels, i.e. it'll move 10 pixels up, return to origin, and move 10 pixels down, repeat...like a piston.

Another suggestion is to couple the sinusoidal movement with the ability to stop and hold a position, i.e. to have a window open, stay open for a selectable period of time and then close and stay closed for a selectable period of time.

Then there's tiling. This would be good to have a well spliced, small image (such as the sky) move across the screen and be continuous.

And last but not least...delta settings. These are settings for foreground and far-ground images to move (on the x plane) at different rates when scrolling from one page to the next, i.e. foreground images move at a higher rate as opposed to far-ground images, to give the illusion of 3-Dimensional space.

Now, I suggest these things blindly because I am not aware if the Android OS is even capable of implementing them.

Anyway, thanks to the OP for such a cool and fun app.

PEACE!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] itsall_cooool:
Great looking app which I am downloading from Market. Just wondered if OP knows there is an awfully similar app on Amazon Market showing a different creator name and program name but same program icon with similar description.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] andreyin:
This is exactly what I've been looking for, but when I go to the livewallpaper address so I can create one, all I get is a logo and a blank page. I've tested on 3 different browsers (Opera, IE and Firefox) and none worked..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
Could you kindly paste a screenshot of what you see in your browser (include the URL). Thx.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] andreyin:
I can't post links since I'm a new user, but here

http : / /imgur.com/vAYQ0

Just remove the spaces
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] andreyin:
Nevermind, I got it. Since I had just formatted my computer I didn't have Java installed.. after looking at the page source I saw it was needed, so I installed it and everything works fine now.

Thanks !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] buzzinkeegs:
im havin the same problem all i get is a white screen and a logo in the top left corner saying ownskin diy, clicked then it took me to the page in the image clicked live wallpaers and back to where i started clicked create wallpaper n nothin again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
I could not replicated the problem on my side.

Anyway you could now download individual APK from the site.

Create your own Live Wallpaper and download the standalone APK
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stian230:
realy nice thanks .
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AndyCr15:
All I get in the zip is an apk? How do I use my computer to create my own live wallpaper? I want a static background with a simple image moving about on it....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ariewtf:
it isnt downloading anything on my htc tattoo :( (i use 2.1)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Probably because the LWPs are optimized for higher resolutions and the Tattoo's, what, a measly 320x240?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mjones1052:
You sure you know how this works? You put the apk on your SDCard and install from the phone. This is an app for the phone, not a computer program...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
This thread is only 3 pages long now. It's not too hard to read every post right?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] primarilydna:
thats crazy!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xOneSainTx:
Am I missing something? I downloaded the file unzipped but don't see the .apk am I supposed to flash via recovery?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Adam Over:
All fine on my desire.

Downloaded, extracted, installed. Runs sweet. Easy to edit. Is there a link to the tool running on his laptop. Me wanna play..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] krazeekirk:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enatefox:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lakeside00:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rizdroid:
Great tool!

I've just adb installed OwnSkin on my Milestone. Works fine.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 305buddyluv:
Outstanding job. looking forward to additional wall papers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] white_america:
Crash in start on my Legend :( WTF?

PS: Can you upload wallpaper with hands?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] [IO]ERROR:
You need to add some kind of screen shot preview so we can see the LWP before we download it.

Also do you have a link to the creation tool or is it not released yet?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] white_america:
I run the OwnSkin. Then i see "Welcome to OwnSkin! Please select OwnSkin Livewallpaper in the next screen to continue." I press OK and program crash with default android stop-program window.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] n0m0n:
It is working on my DroidX.

Can I ask if you could increase the bright option?

I have the clock (darknite) all the way up and its still light visually.

BUT this is great...

I remember a app in development years ago called Customizer for the iPhone, which has since been abandon due to OS updates...

I am extremely excited that these options are coming to the Android devices.

Can you direct me as to where I might find the desktop app for this?

I noticed it in the video .

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] n0m0n:
You can also install via Dropbox.

Download zip file.

Unzip and copy the .apk file to Dropbox on a PC, MAC.

Open Dropbox on your device choose and install.

You'll be good to go.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stoob:
Me too :( :confused: :eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
For those people who said it crash, are you running 2.1 or above ? Livewallpaper is only support in 2.1 or above.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Running Froyo FRF91. It crashes sometimes when I try to preview and customize a wallpaper. And after customizing a wallpaper, I press "Open" and it will show the wallpaper flickering very badly. Sometimes it will be alright if I set it as wallpaper but other times it just crashes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] white_america:
Run on 2.1 official (HTC Legend).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
Does HTC Legend support Livewallpaper ?

Go to Homescreen, press Menu, press Wallpaper, did you see "Livewallpapers" in the "Select wallpaper from" option ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djtenox:
background

can I just have the background for the first screen shot with the zombies, want it for my desktop at work and my phone 800x480
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
This is the **** man!

Good work! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
I am sorry to say that, but the official HTC legend does not support live wallpaper. You need to root your phone and then install a patch to get it work. See here: http://www.gadgetsdna.com/htc-legend-android-hacked-to-run-live-wallpaper/3976/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InciterDK:
:(

Doesnt work on my Hero with official HTC 2.1 update.

guess i need the update for legend (or a hero counterpart) aswell??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
First you need to check the official 2.1 has livewallpaper support or not. Go to homescreen, press Menu, select Wallpaper, did you see Livewallpapers in the selection list ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eskomo:
Holy ****!!!! That was not only horrible music but way way too loud. Next time don't have the music in the background so loud. Can't understand one thing you said and makes for a bad video.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] n0m0n:
I actually liked the music in the background.

I actually watched the video a few times because I liked the music.

I look forward to your next video YOUR choice of tunes.

THANKS
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] metalmickey2k:
I agree this app is brill! But I really want to get an mp4 running in loop as my wallpaper. Any idea when we can get the program to create our own skins?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] n0m0n:
Ive had this working on my DX for about a week now and its great and has even more potential.

I have noticed that my device not returns to previously open apps by itself at times.

Like yesterday (midday) I went into my contacts and even though I have used it a bit from then to now it automatically went back tot he previously open contact screen...

Also in the video what was the second screen or theme the developer opened (it was brown or tan, the one after the compass one)???

I cant find it in the download section and for hat matter are there any new ones somewhere other than in the download option within the app???

I haven't seen any new ones pop up for about a week now.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elmacs:
thank you for the great app! I like the clock on the background of the desire theme (under the live widget).. I'm looking for a widget version of freehand pencil drawn clock
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Truballa4real7:
every time i try to download any of them i get a messege saying failed to download or install livewallpaper why is that and how do i fix it?:confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dskyers:
NOT working?

everytime i try and download one it says failed ? how exactley do you work this app?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jeallen0:
ive got the app installed... when i run it and go to settings to select a LW and try to download one the progress bar sits on 0/100% for about 30 seconds and then give me an error message that says "Failed to download or install livewallpaper."

im running CM6-RC1. ive tried removing the app and installing. I also nandroided, wiped, and tried installing clean and no dice, still same message. anyone else having this problem?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grapplerone:
APK download

I installed the APK on my Motorola Droid (2.1) stock.

It asks to download a live wallpaper first in order to use it. However none of them will. Keeps saying failed to download or install.

What's wrong?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
Sorry the download files where offline for about 18 hours due to some work being done on the server side

It should be available now.

Please try again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grapplerone:
PC software

Will there be a PC program to create these?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jeallen0:
they are up... this app is absolutely BRILLIANT. cant wait to get software on my pc to create LW's.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
This looks just amazing! I'm a droid X owner, and can't wait for this editor to be released!

Great job, guys!

(About the music, it was fine, but was a tad too loud, mainly because I really wanted to hear what you were saying.)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enatefox:
Hey madwolfchin hit me up here or on twitter about the editor. I've been kicking a similar idea around but I have to hand it to you this is frickin nice. I can definitely help you get this released quicker just let me know
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
Is there any idea when we'll see the creator program released?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ultraman666:
Ya I was wondering that same thing??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
(In other words, we are EAGER!)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
Hi Sorry for the delay, It will be made available 30 July
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
Thats great! If I see any issues on my win 7 64 bit system, I'll report it here.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flamechamp:
like this a lot!

can I have the developer tools in PC?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rjhay22:
Lovin this... Good job! :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lukeatluke:
Aaaamazing :)

Thanks so much ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nalinbhatt:
This is great stuff man...Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] klubhead:
to the OP, is that live wallpaper w/ the hands in your first post available to DL anywhere? do the hands move like they're scraping against the screen?

.. regardless it looks badass, i'd love to use it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
Word is froyo will be released within 2 weeks now.. will there be any issues with froyo at all?

Odds are live wallpapers will be more attractive to people, since all our phones will be running faster and supposedly more battery efficient as well soon.

I don't know which I'm waiting for more.. froyo, this, or the application inventor!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
[YOUTUBE]KJ8NBA3iCuk[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
That looks pretty straight foreward. Looks like I need to make some new animated gifs now.

Are there any limitations or options to them? (Number of frames, looping, playing back and forth, ect.)

Are there templates for the clock part, for instance where should the hand start and the end point to? (The middle and a corner?)

Once we can actually load the examples, I'm sure some of that will be clear.

Are there fade transitions between the 24 hour images? (Do they dissolve from one to another, or just instantly change?)

Can't wait!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ggonzalez7777:
Hello,

I just bought the Samsung Captivate with 2.1 android and for some reason when I go to the download page of the ownskin app it doesn't show any wallpapers. The build I downloaded is 060.7102.208.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flamechamp:
Is the creator out? it's already 30th July!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
Sorry the whole roll out is delayed
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
Better a delay then show stopper bugs.

Question: Will the generated live wallpapers "sleep" until the next scheduled background image change, or do they poll continously? I'm always looking for live wallpapers that have a low power drain. I'd think polling the time every 5 minutes or so would suffice for the scheduled wallpaper change.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GaMMeLHaNsy:
Agree

Is there a new date you can give us?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ggonzalez7777:
Is anyone encountering no wallpapers in the download page of the app? My girlfriends N1 and my Captivate both dont show any wallpapers to download both in the download tag and the just in tab.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nenodadon21:
Dose not work for me, when I start it, there are no wallpaper to download unless I'm doing it wrong????
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
Ok, grabbed the base program and installed it.. and same results as the previous post.. no live wallpapers available to download.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flamechamp:
Nope, nobody is wrong, lately when I wanted to download more wallpaper it was all not there. Maybe the creator is doing some updates at the moment
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
We cleared the database to prepare for launch, Will have some content shortly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flamechamp:
and the creator application for windows?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
To download the apk search for ownskin in Android Market.

We have decided to publish it on the android Market.

To create your own content go to http://www.ownskin.com/livewallpaper

The creation and editing of the Live wallpaper is within the browser, so there is nothing to download on your computer unless your computer does not support adobe flash.

It is still in Beta so Comments and suggestion is warmly welcome.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
VERY cool! Thanks! BTW, is the one in the market the same version as the one we downloaded here?

Hmmm.. I notice the droid x is not listed as one of the supported phones! Any hope of it being added?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
Droid X is supported can you let me know where did you see that ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
If you look on any of the phone lists, and select motorola, you don't see the droid or droid x listed at all.

I figured I could just select the DX's resolution, but that also was not listed.

Also, check the aquarium section.. it has a bunch of other items that probably shouldn't be in that category.

I'l look again, and see if I can find the Dx listed anywhere.

EDIT: looks like the site is down. I'll check again tomorrow.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
think you got into the wrong section of ownskin.com, go to this link for android phone: http://www.ownskin.com/livewallpaper
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flamechamp:
wowww! it seems that the creator is out!! can't wait to make one!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] adwinp:
I left some feedback on ownskin, but since you're more of an xda member, I'll just paste it here:

Great work.

1 suggestion though:

- add sms/mail/other API (facebook/twitter - if detected) preview screenlets, and make them interactive (like Nexus One's live wallpapers).

For example, clicking on SMS screenlet takes you to Messaging.

What I mean by "preview screenlet", is that the latter displays the last or last 2 messages.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
When I use that link, and select create wallpaper, I get a list of resolution options that are not the proper size for the Droid X. Is there a specific link that will give me DX resolution options?

(Its wallpaper size is 960×854, and the largest available size is 480x854.)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madwolfchin:
Droid X screen resolution is 480*854. The wallpaper size is 960*864

Choose 480*854 and you should be fine.

We decided to show the screen size which is what the manufacture states.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gareee:
Ahhh.....!!! THAT makes sense now. I was looking for a screen res the full width of the droidx, not just the display resolution.

Suggestion: Maybe they could be listed as something like:

Display, 480x854

(Wallpaper 960x854)

That way people would also see the full wallpaper scale as well, and regardless of which size they are looking for, will see it listed.
