hello, still having problems with white screen, on vista. using galaxy s. 2.3.1 darkys.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
You using hex values?

On vista open your calculator

select scientific mode

Type in your number of images with dec ticked (make sure they are png's and don't count Icon.png)

Then tick hex, this gives you the hex value you need to use. Hope this helps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h8isf8:
yes

even tried using odd and even amounts of pictured though the the place savers shouldn't matter anyways
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] onedowg:
I do using hex from a site with converter. But pics works for 2secs then white screen appears than again a pics for a second. Only using 20 of them.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] onedowg:
right, tryed windows 7, and there is no problem having a white screen, so i think its OS problem.

can any one make it suport gingerbread >.< i really want to make some live wallpapers.but they dont work on my nexus S
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Im working with one, Its working on my 2.2 not sure about 2.3, it is sdk 8 vs sdk 7....I Am not a pro so Im gonna need some help on a couple things if someone with knowledge on removing some strings and updating the script. I am able to produce a LWP but I cannot use the placeimages folder :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thewisteron:
Here is my first one. I can't make an animated gif to show it, but if you look at the screenshot, imagine the HTC EVO text pulsating, the Droid mouth with a running light going back and forth (like a Battlestar Galactica Cylon), the right eye shorting out at various times, and text commands executing on his mid-section.

However, it seems laggy at times on my EVO running Myns TPT. Even at 60FPS, it will slow down at various times. Is there a way to stop the laginess?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
"Sqirlz morph" will make your gifs, you can use batch on the program "infranview" to convert pngs to jpg's crop change color all that check my page in my signature and all are free ;) how many frames you running and what size are your pics? You can get apk manager from the op's signature and optimize the photos. You also could delete every other one and bring the fps down.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thewisteron:
I have 49 images and they are all 480x800 and around 300KB. I used apk manager to optimize, but it didn't seem to help.

I'd rather not delete every other one since that would look even choppier. Thanks for the suggestions though. Maybe try it on your phone and see if you see the lag?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Six6Sicks:
I wish adding the option to choose a version number was in the script.

Is this possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] proresearch:
it was nice while it lasted but now the script stopped working.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
It works fine, the white screens are user error (check all file names and types ie. all are .png and n01-n09 not n1-n9. And don't count the icon.) Delete the package and start over if your having trouble. I can try to help seems how this thread was abandoned for the custom lwp app that's in market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
You need to get your own program to do that sh!t bro. This isn't for making money and if that's your intention, I hope you get a knock on your door. This is why Android is getting a bad rep, THIS is someones work not your meal ticket.

here is my live wallpaper...:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Quattrone:
Fab app

Thanx for putting together Daneshm90.

I was interested in "commercializing" the concept by selling custom (that is, unique to a given client) wallpapers as well as generic ones to give away and sell on the market. Would you be interested in further developing the concept to do that in exchange for some income?

I could pay some but since there's so much interest here, perhaps we can all gather our thoughts as to what might be a good set of features and pool some money together to pay for some expanded development.

One feature for instance might be to save battery power, maybe the animation runs for a few seconds then stops or slows dramatically. Another might be providing more options to tilt views, that is, providing a multi panel animation that scrolls with the page.

Obviously these things take additional time and effort but from a commercial standpoint, if people are interested in creating some wallpapers to sell, we can certainly come together to make it worth Dane's while.

Thoughts?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mur38:
My first attempt

Hi

I cobbled this together as I like the gif (I did not create the original graphic) and I finally got it to work on my HTC Desire HD. I too suffered from a white page but realised I had made an error in numbering the files. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mur38:
YingYang

Looks better with 40+ fps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] motodroidfreak:
Is it possiable for you to add version code to it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
You can edit the Manifest to CHANGE the versioncode

I also have been able to get these to work on gingerbread the ****ty part is they are only working at 15 frames total :( Checkout this Post as we are trying to nail down the exact issue. Hope this can get us going smoothly again!

Edit* 15 frames is the latest success!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
please do not sign and publish app with this script

this uses testkeys google has stopped accepting them
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Is this a request not to use this script or to get everyone to get their own key? I'm loving the script and a lil disappointed in how many are selling them on market.

I have a descent thread going with them but have no desire to put them on market. Just wondering because I don't want to step on toes. Thanks for all that you do for the community Daneshm90.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
You can always sign them with your own key.

Google has stopped accepting testkeys from the massive emails ive got. So if you have an app on the market signed with testkeys. Well that app is useless now because you'll need a personal key and google doesnt allow you to switch keys on a published app.

So yea use the script or ne other script. For sharing purposes its alright. But to upload to market, create your own key. (My advice, use eclipse to create the key, they have a nice gui for that process)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Right on, ty for the quick reply and clarifications.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] celltimemb:
been using my own testkey all along, just edit the run.bat script to build you an unsign package instead of the signed, then sign and zipaling yourself.

I cannot get these to run in gingerbread or Honeycomb. I thought older apps were supposed to be backward compatible?

I changed a lot of settings in mine to add support for tablets like Galaxy tab.

These run fine in 2.1 and 2.2 but not ginger or honeycomb, even rebuilding in eclipse using ginger and honeycomb sdk to rebuild and still force closes.

I see alot of people ripping off copyrighted animated gifs and selling them, its a big no no.

I build all my images and videos myself using autodesk 3ds max to make my live wallpapers, i dont steal other people's images from google.

If anyone figures out how to get this working in Honeycomb or gingerbread let me know, otherwise I will have to take a week just to build each wallpaper manually coding everything up in eclipse. I am a big fan of the quick building tools.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Yes, I would like to know how to get them functioning on gb with more than 15 frames total. That's the only way they work on gb.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] celltimemb:
if I find anything I will let you know and post here.

I dont find anything in the code thats bad for gingerbread, It's possible google could be putting a block on ore than 15 images for animated wall papers in this format so phones wont lag so bad. Even with zipalign i get force closes
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] celltimemb:
there are only a few gingerbread phones out right now, so there are really no way to test these thoeries, these crash in the emulator even with froyo i get force close in the emulator.

Im sure when a lot of phones get updated to gingerbread I am confident these will still work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
I think they are blocking these apps as there are hundreds of these on market and they didn't even take the time to change up the app other than the png's. I guarantee google has been to this thread and they probably aren't that fond of it. But I hope your right about them functioning again at some point.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Yes im partially regretting adding the capability to change package name. My incentive was so users can make different wallpapers and install them on their phone simultaneously, not upload it to market :(

Oh well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] celltimemb:
well I know what the problem is, Ginger uses alot of resources, i ran a test build of ginger onto my samsung vibrant and I can get these working for up to 36 png images on my samsung vibrant. I also tried downloading some stuff I had on the market and tried to run the bigger ones and i sent over the force close reports and this is what I get from them.

I even imported the project to eclipse and cleaned up the layout and alot of the code and still have the same issues, fine on froyo, but force closes on ginger, i also get them on larger ones as well on eclair. 2.1 update 1
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Hey try this,

In your build.prop increase the vm heapsize. Or you can upload urs and i'll edit and reupload.

See if that helps ?

L8r
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] celltimemb:
where do I find the build.prop at? i dont see it in any of my projects, is it a file thats on my phone itself? I flashed back to froyo now, Im not going to flash again to ginger, I did a soft brick trying to get back to froyo and spent 4 hours recovering my phone and getting it working again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
its a system file you would have to pull it from the phone running gb or you can unzip nightly 38 and get it from the pc that's what I did.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
I upped it to 56mb and its better but not perfect. Im working on it still but wanted to give an update
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
I have been running 256mb now for 18 hours with no problems. This is only getting me around 100 images. Any other ideas?

thanks for making this program its a lot easier to use than own skin i almost pulled my hair out trying to figure out how to use that program. This one does exactly what this description states thanks again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mohdmistry:
hi there,

thanks, but i have a request.

can u please make this so we could get it straight on pc rather than having to go through cell phone?

cuz in my country its not tht easy to get cellphone internet.

thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kingdombuilder:
I will have to agree with you as well. I seen your post concerning Vista and i went out and got a new PC with Win7 and I'm no longer having any problems with the white screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Transparent PreferenceScreen

Has anyone tried or successfully created a transparent PreferenceScreen? I have been trying for quite sometime now and google hasn't been much help at all. Im not sure if this is even possible using only the smalis and xml?

Thanks for any input on this

And this does work on vista just check my sig for more than 60 made on my asus a7v vista pc.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Transparency

I figured it out finally, its just a pain in the arse to do it through eclipse.....APK Manger was the solution, imagine that! lol

Below is the one line added to the Manifest to give you a transparent settings screen, bad part is the animation freezes and you can see the buttons from the previous screen (from the wallpaper screen but not from configuration screen via the homescreen.) Oh well it still looks good to me and the settings still work! Check the attached image below

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superlantern:
I may have missed this and will probably search the thread but I just made a LWp and when it goes to start the animation over the screen turns white any ideas? I double checked ant it was not one of my png files as they all have the proper image.

EDIT: My Hex code was wrong

apk file for live wallpaper creator

hey there

can u please upload the apk file over here ?

i cant seem to be able to download from the link
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
What apk are you referring to?

The download link in the op is working for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
I thought I would share my settings screen changes, the attached zip is a working creator with the exact settings screen in the screen shots. I will leave the customization up to you all. You can also change the watermark image by replacing settings.png in the drawables folder, I left mine so you could use it for reference. I am going to be working on a slider option for FPS vs. the text edit option. I will post it once successful, unless someone else has got that already and wants to help a guy out..... ;)

Oh yeah, almost forgot I also updated the resolution sizes as well! Hope you like and hit thanks it you like, I RARELY ask for thank you's but this is kinda my pride and joy atm.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Frousy:
can someone help me?

My problem is that i can't start my own made live wallpaper: whiteblackbeta-signed.apk

i have it installed.

after using it, it says the whole time "the application whiteblack ( process com.custom.lwp.whiteblack) hast stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I used 37 pictures and all with the solution of 960x800. Is that maybe the reason why it doesn't work?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Yes it probably is the size, what device? Did you run a test first with the images that were there?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Frousy:
my device: motorola defy solution standart is 480x800.

if you take the whole screen, say with the scrolling to left and right than wie have a solution like 960x800. Maybe wrong, i don´t know. no until now i don't make a test.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
These are not scrollable, so you just need to size it to one screen. Like the original images 480 x 800
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtw4991:
Trying to get this installed on my pc, but every time I run run.bat it keeps telling me that java is not found in the path and I won't be able to sign apks or use apktool? Environmental Variables Path:

What os?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtw4991:
sorry, Vista 32bit
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
These are mine of course yours could differ a little but its a good reference point, I also attached a pic to give reference to the actual placement.

This is the path in mine:

C:\Windows\System32\;C:\Windows\;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe

These are my system varibles:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtw4991:
Thanks Mrdaviso, I'll give it a shot and see if it works.....not real good at java stuff, lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtw4991:
That worked...I needed the System32 permissions in my path it seems. Thanks man!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
No problem at all, glad it got you going. Have fun with it, it got my woman made at me....LoL But she loves her wallpaper's
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtw4991:
Ok, tried the stock Haters Gonna Hate wallpaper using the app and it fc's. It shows up in the Live Wallpaper settings, as does v2.3 of LWP Creater, but it won't run the Haters lwp. I tried fix_permissions, no help. Gonna reboot n see if that helps.

Where is the wallpaper file stored? SDcard folder? A system folder? couldn't find it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Are you on ginger? If so you have to up the vm heap in system/build.prop I am running 256mb it handles upto around 100 images on my mt4g, yours may vary tho.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtw4991:
Yeah, running CM7 nightlies on 2.3.3 GB. Would changing build.prop vm heap size affect the Cyanogen VM settings which is maxed at 32mb?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Im on rc1 and 256mb is fine for me for quite sometime now. It was posted a few pages back. And no one has complained of it changing anything, that I have heard. Its also in big red letters on my lwp thread, with no complaints there either.

But this stuff is always at your own risk, of course. Do a back up.

You can edit through root explorer, reboot and no more fc's ;)

This doesn't fix microbes or some of the other stock ones out there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtw4991:
Cool, will try the mod, thx.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jdkzombie:
hummmm

will this work for pulling the boot animation from a theme and converting it to a live wallpaper? If so im sold lol if not....then my journey must continue :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Yes, check my lwp thread in my sig for other info too.

i keep having a problem where after i set the lwp i made, i get this white screen at the start of the lwp, any one know how to fix this?

Thanks~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
This has been stated over and over in this thread and its not one of the threads with over a hundred pages. You are either messing up the hex value, actual count, one jpg in the mix, thumbs.db file in there that shouldn't be.

One of these is more than likely the problem but let me know if not.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kingdombuilder:
I have my own key from Eclipse and I would like to sign this LWP with my own key. I seen a post where it was said to edit the Run.bat file but that is a little over my head. Can anyone make it a little more down to earth to understand how to sign with my own testkey instead of the one given?
