Sadly I really liked the look of this app but it failed to load any pictures on my N1 (The internal Gallery App Displays my albums fine..) What directory is this app using??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Hi there,

The app reads the album art associated with your music library instead of looking in a specific directory. If you're seeing your album art in the Gallery app then something else is wrong somewhere, since Android should keep it separate from all the other images on your phone.

Can you try opening the default music player and letting it index your music library, and then try the Live Wallpaper again?

Cheers,

Dave.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ozgreg:
Thanks Dave that would do it although that is something I am not going to let happen as you get album art etc in Gallery rather than just Camera Photos..

I guess the way around this is to have the option to control the directory, I seen this requested a few times, is that something on your roadmap??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Greg - the app uses Android's built in media library and asks for a list of all the known album art on the device. This means you can have your music anywhere you want on the phone and the app will still find the art.

Opening the default music player won't make your album art show in the Gallery, or remove it if it's there. Do you use iTunes to organise your music? It does have a bit of a reputation for screwing with album art, which might explain why you can see the covers in the Gallery...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ozgreg:
Sorry I should have been clearer I had .nomedia in my music directory because I do not want Album art folder.jpg's showing up in the standard Android Gallery App. It is my understanding that the gallery app scans the SD Card for pictures thus why folder.jpg's will show.. (something I want to avoid)

Ever thought about having a clone of Album Art showing photos? It would also be pretty wicked..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Hi Greg,

Android is clever enough to not show album art in the standard gallery app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ozgreg:
Yeah I wish that was the case.. Clearly it is not..

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6268
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Hi Greg,

Best option in this case is to embed the album art into the MP3 files, which neatly sidesteps the issue. ;-)

Cheers,

Dave.

Just bought this beauty. I had a little trouble setting it up because I use DoubleTwist and I essentially have no album art (lol) but I downloaded Album Art Grabber from the market and filled up my collection.

Suggestions

I really like your wallpaper, but I have two suggestions that would make it even better in my opinion.

First thing is to replace the opaque setting with an overlay. Also you should be able to choose the color yourself.

Second thing is to give an option not to show all the album arts in one size. Just google "zune album art wall" (for me it's the 4th picture) to see what I mean. I think this looks way better.

I hope you can implement this :)

Cheers

Version 1.2.2 uploaded to the Market, which fixes the failure of album art to display after a restart.

Edit: At least I think it fixes that, it's been sitting on my computer for two weeks and I can't remember exactly what it was meant to change...

Just bought the app, great job!

I have more than 15Gb of music on my N1 and loves the way the album covers look in the wallpaper.

Keep up the good work and good idea posting it in here, otherwise I would never knew it even existed. ;-)

Refresh interval

Hi.. does the refresh interval refreshes the wallpaper even though the phone is in a standby state (ie. screen off)? It would certainly be a waste of resources (battery!) if so.

Can you please add longer intervals like 1 hour, 3 hours, etc?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpoz:
As an Apple owner, I love this idea. However, it makes my phone lag quite a bit.

I'm on an EVO (yes, this the an N1 forum), and I'm running CM6 RC1. I have plenty of available memory and I'm running the buttery-smooth .35 kernel.

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stothy862:
Love this wallpaper completely! But any chance of one that pulls all your contact photos and uses them instead?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Time for an update, and a confession:

You might have noticed that I've been a bit quiet on here with regards to updates etc. Well, part of the reason for this is workload, but the main explanation is a computer screw-up which accidentally deleted the source code to the project.

I'm now back on version 1.1 (which was the last working backup) and obviously have a bit of catching up to do. Having said that, using some of the lessons learned from version 1 is leading me to a slight redesign that should allow images to be plucked from any of the libraries on the phone, including photos and contact thumbnails.

As the saying goes, watch this space. :-)

Thanks to everyone for their support on this project.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] idiotek:
Although this is designated as a Nexus One theme, is there any reason why I can download the demo from the Market on my HTC Desire HD, but can't buy it? When I try to buy it, Google Market reports that it cannot find pname:com.androidgamer.albumart
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taiguy:
So it's already been established that after the EVO charges fully to 100% it then stops receiving a charge and runs off the battery before charge cycling again. All the while displaying 100%.

Has any effort been put into changing the way this operates? Seems like it'd be nice to leave the phone on a charger and when you take it off, it would actually be at 100% and not at some arbitrary percentage between 90% and 100%.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rokybg:
It's better for the battery life.It's really good option if you ask me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neckface:
You mean make it so that the battery's status bar shows a realistic value once it stops taking a charge, even though it's still plugged in, right? Not actually changing the way it takes a charge. I'd be interested in seeing that happen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegame3202:
Is that why when you unplug it, the first 5% or so disappear within minutes?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
annoying, but just unplug your phone when you do wake and plug it back in after about 10 seconds. let it finish fully charging while you get ready.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nize2beme:
it's better for the battery though, case closed. Lenovo has been doing somehting similar w/ their laptops for years. It never charges the battery past like 97%, and when it does reach the top it stops charging until it falls below like 92 then recharges. HTC needs to loook out for the battery they already have enough flak from all of us for the last few years w/ every touch device they have had. We want more life, and they are giving it to us, just wish they could figure something out like lenovo, let it go down to mayeb 94 then charge up again perhaps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
it really isn't true, mine dumps 10% or so off the charger regardless of if it has been on the charger all night or 2 seconds after it turns green.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonziter:
So I've done the:

1 charge to green

2 unplug

3 turn off

4 charge while turned off.....to green again.

And here are my honest results.

Boom........phone has 20% left after 16.5 hrs of moderate use (calling time total 1 hrs talk total, surf /post 1 hour total, load up 5 apps from the market, listen to audio clips on the speaker phone for almost an hour straight, podcast this morning for 30 min...and other randomness)

And still have 20% left. Going since 6:30 a to 10:30 p...........approximately 16 hrs equals 80% so about 3.2 hrs left to use before dead.

THIS EQUALS APPROX 19.2 HOURS OF MODERATE USE BEFORE RECHARGE NEEDED.

eat it Apple 4G . You can't even reliablly make calls let alone last that long without charging. My 3g never lasted that long. You still need a wall Apple we are truly mobile. If I was on the road I could (don't need to just yet) swap out for another battery.

I'm loving xda for all their brains helping me get the most out of this phone. Thanks to all.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
The point here is that we shouldn't have to do the "charger circle jerk" to have 100% battery. I should be able to unplug it and have a full battery. Not 90%. I might need that 10% later on today, its accomplishing nothing sitting on my nightstand.

If the battery is toast after a year instead of a year and half, i don't care. I want a fully battery, not an almost full battery.

My phone used to do this, even after i followed all the little tips and tricks of playing hide and go seek with the charging cable and my phone.

Know how i solved it?

Bought one of those $10 Ebay 2 1500mAh TP2 Battery And Wall Charger bundles, now i dont use the OEM charger at all, the cable turned into a permanent USB cable on my comp and never sees the actual HTC charging unit it plugs into for AC power. I have 3 batteries and i rotate them in that little wall charger which actually charges them to 100%. Its also proven because if you take one of the batteries, put them in the phone and charge them until the green light comes on, supposedly to "100%" and then take the actual battery out and put it in the ebay wall charger, it will still charge for another 15-25 minutes. Charging it in the phone, as soon as i unplug, it almost instantly always drops to 90%... charging with the ebay wall charger, it will stay at 100% for a while before it falls off.

Below is the link to my thread which contains linkage, pics and info about the ebay bundle, others also claim the same issues and fixes in my thread. I mean for $10 bucks, does it really matter if it works for you or not? Its worth the shot and for me, it was a great investment.

Best of luck.

One of the bloggers on Droiddog.com had the EXACT same question. Yes it's possible... read her method here:

http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/06/nexus-one-power-button-failure/

Basically:

Plug the phone in– USB or AC works fine.

Wait until the charging light comes on.

Remove the battery, while leaving the phone plugged in.

Replace the battery.

After about 3-4 times, the phone should boot.
