Thanks for your swift response to the query. Will re-install this soonest possible. Btw, have no FC issue with my unrooted Desire with official froyo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] projectDz:
i can't seem to find this on the market, scanning the barcode sends me to a link that doesn't work. Could someone upload? thanks :D

I've got a Nexus One with 2.2 Froyo and FRF91.

The Market version is perfect!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chopsui:
Did you try searching for VR Tunnel? You could also try browsing to the "themes" section and looking at the "just in" tab. If you still can't find it, send me a PM with your email address and ill send you a copy this afternoon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewwelton:
I also cant find this on the market.

Im on a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and I checked the "Just In" section.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] typ44q:
I am having the same problem, QR code on page one is not working, searched for VR Tunnel and tried to browse for it, nothing. I did find it on app brain but the qr code also did not work, tried to install using the app brain app and still could not get it to install. sending you a pm

thanks!

PS I am also on a rooted galaxy s captivate

Market issues

Seems that most if not all of the people having problems finding it are using Samsung Galaxy phones. Is there anyone having the same problem that's using a different device?

Can anyone with a Samsung actually find it?

P.S. I just uploaded an update that might possibly fix the issue. Let me know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elnapotandil:
I have the same problem using the Milestone!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] typ44q:
That worked, I can now find it in the app store!

thanks and very very cool lw =]
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chopsui:
Sweet! Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elnapotandil:
The QR Market works in Milestone!!

Thanks very much!!:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chopsui:
Well look like the Market issue is fixed.

I updated the OP with a second video showing how to make the cubes spin for those who may have missed it.

good job! downloaded from market on my hero, and the grid and cubes are no longer white.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] goodelyfe:
if not already verified

works very nice on the evo

very sexy

but i had to change it...uber battery killer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tricky103:
Respect to you creator. Just downloaded from the market running absolutely fine. Wallpaper looks wicked. On my Galaxy S. :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] leonnib4:
Wonderful.

Might buy it :)

Downside is battery drain..

But thats inevitable right?

Really needs an option to CALIBRATE the orientation sensor. The focal point just sticks to the left side of the screen for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NicodemPL:
Just curious if its onlly me or anyone else also has problems with battery drain?

APK file with early version which was posted here worked for me great without any special battery drain.

Once Ive installed app from the market (new version) it drains my battery within 5-6 hrs.

im not 100% sure but this is what Ive noticed.

HTC Desire with official Froyo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drgnclwk:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're issue is, but have you tried double tapping the wallpaper to center it? The wallpaper can be centered to whichever position your phone is in through a double tap.

Thanks for the wallpaper, it works flawlessly so far after the black and white fix on my vibrant!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] leonnib4:
Yeah, tap in the center to center ;)

Of course it drains battery!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] turbo chicken:
Just installed on my vibrant...works great!

Hey guys, ChopSui here.

I had to take the day off yesterday. My brain was pretty much fried from the past week. I've got a busy weekend ahead so I won't be able to answer too many posts/emails. The response has been pretty great so far. One issue that I am concerned about is battery life. While I expect the wallpaper to be pretty power hungry while it's showing, It SHOULDN'T be sucking a lot of juice while the screen is off or you're in another app. For example, I've had it running on my test Droid for the last several days and it's still at over 80% battery. Now granted this is with the screen turned off but you get the idea.

So...if you believe you're seeing a problem where it's using up battery while the screen is off and you know how to use adb to obtain logcats, please do the following:

1. Turn on the wallpaper

2. Connect to adb

3. begin capturing the logcat output

4. turn the screen off

5. wait about 30 seconds and then capture and send me the logcat output.

If you see any messages on the log such as frames per second while the screen is off or while you're in another app, then that means it's still running and sucking up your battery. It's not doing it on mine so I can only guess at what the cause is. Possibly differences in ROM. It should be fixable however.

OK, so other than that, I plan to release an update probably on Sunday that will contain a few more colors and an option to turn off the cubes completely plus a small surprise or two. I'm still taking requests for colors.

I'll probably leave that update on the market for a day or two so you all have a chance to get it. After that, I'm going to be pulling the free one and posting the paid version. You'll be able to keep the free one on your device even if you buy the paid version, there just wont be anymore updates to it. I just ask that you not redistribute the free one.

Once again, thanks for all the support (and constructive criticism!)

Can't download VR Tunnel

My HTC Desire seems to get stuck on the marketplace screen when it says 'starting download' nothing happens.......? Any Ideas guys..?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] knuckleheadAj3:
Freaking Awesome. Thanks for putting it on the market. The improvements you've listed will probably make this the hottest live wallpaper on the market.

Keep up the ill work!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dkl_uk:
I know this request may seem a little out of order, but as i'm using the Dell Streak with the 1.6 OS, would you be kind enough to wait until the 2.2 OS has been released in full for all - I don't even have access to live wallpapers at this point. I have, however, installed the app in anticipation of my OTA update which should be around September time...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonny68:
link wont open????
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chopsui:
Just wanted to let everyone know that there's a new update on the market. Added a few new colors and the ability to turn off the cubes. Plus NO ADS!

Barring any major bugs, this will be the last free update. I intend to replace it on Tuesday with the paid version which will have at least one more highly requested feature - adjustable motion sensitivity. I will also release VR-Tunnel Lite which will be free but have limited color settings and options.

Once again, you will still be able to keep the current free version. I just ask that you not distribute it. SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT ANDROID DEVELOPERS! :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] projectDz:
hahahaah

totally diggin the new cube "color" :lol Thanks again man :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HighSnobility:
Thanks champ.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chopsui:
Just a message to let you know that the OP has been updated. The Full Free version has been pulled from the market and replaced with a free "Lite" version and a full paid version.

I've added the abillity to adjust the motion sensitivity to both. Try it out and let me know if it needs more adjustement.

thanks everyone!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
Is there any app out there that would allow me to track my phone without signal, just purely gps? For instance if I were hiking out in the back country where I have no cell signal but I wanted my family to be able to track my location remotely.

Is that even possible for any gps device without a network connection?

Sent from the void...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Nope, phone is a gps receiver only not a transmitter, to track via gps you have to have some sort of way to get the gps coordinates from the phone to whatever device is doing the tracking. REI just had the SPOT gps receivers on sale, they have some sort of satellite com that will allow your family to receive updates. google it spot tracking its pretty cool

[Vibrant General] vibrant2010:
First off I screwed up! I dropped my Vibrant into water (long story) and every thing still works surprisingly...what the problem is I had to wipe my phone memory and now when I try to get to ADB reboot the phone just turns itself on like normal and the phone was rooted before the wipe.....any ideas on how to correct our should I just cash in on insurance policy with t-mobile?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ransu:
Hello, I have a problem when flashing roms, especially the Super d ones that I love. Everything is fine when wiping and installing roms. They work great. But when it comes time for a reboot, or my phone runs out of power, the rom fails to load again. It will just stay stuck on the G1 screen and I have to flash a rom again.

So its like I can never turn my phone off.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ransu:
Seems like repair ext right after flashing the rom works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abarreir:
Hi there!

As you might see, I'm new here, so please kick my ass kindly if this issue has already been discussed (even though I'm pretty sure it didn't, after spending a couple of hours reading tones of threads).

I was kind of disappointed when I unpacked my Desire a week ago, discovering how low the headphones volume was compared to my former iPhone 3G (R.I.P). Fortunately, the froyo update came out a couple of days after, I installed it, hoping it will solve this issue... Obviously, it didn't.

After being able to root my desire (thanks to the downgrading hack :rolleyes:), I started trying a bunch of roms, starting with the Psychosis-1.2 one, and happily discovered that the music was finally as loud as on my iPhone with this rom.

The issue here is that I still get the same low volume problem with other roms (so far, I tried OpenDesire and Pinky (this name should definitely be changed...).

I also tried the NexTSense rom and unsurprisingly, the volume was good on this one as well (unsurprisingly, as Psychosis is based on that rom...).

My question is quite simple: would you know which .apk/.so/.jar could I extract from NexTSense in order to get a decent volume on the rom I will finally hang out with?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abarreir:
No one?

Just tried out the LeeDroid rom, and the volume is also ok with this rom...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipje:
LeeDroid does nothing really fancy.

So either your problem is fixed in the new 2.09 official update (and all the custom roms based on that one, like pinky, nextsense, leedroid, modaco r7)

It will for sure NOT be as simple as extracting a single .apk. The volume (and even mp3 decoding and media playback) is not handled by the music player software at all.

So you'll have to look in firmwares, libraries or kernel being used and stuff like that. Not something you easily dive into and rip out if you're new to linux / android developing. It might also be something with the new radio that you probably installed to get the latest leedroid or others running.

For what it's worth, I never noticed (too) low volume on my desire, and tried a lot of ROMs (2.1 official based, 2.2 official based, AOSP, Cyanogen)... never noticed a difference in volume. You sure it isn't some placebo effect?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abarreir:
Yep, 100 percent sure its not a placebo effect, I compared for each Rom the volume on my desire with the one on my former iPhone, using the same song and headphones, and the volume was only at the same level with the Roms I mentioned.

Plus, It's not radio related, as I had this issue with stock sense on both radios, and as I tried all the Roms with the last one...

I'm pretty convinced it's library related, I'll do a comp of the ones dealing with audio and tell you what.
[Captivate General] han.azuki:

[Captivate General] Apple Pi:
I don't have any pics for my google account but the facebook pictures all got transfered over on both ROMS this and the stock captivate rom
[Captivate General] Phytrax:
I'm having the problem with Google contacts too. If I add a new picture to my google account it will sync right too my phone but the ones I added before using Odin one click will not sync. Is there a way to force the pics to sync?

I tried to change some info on a contact thinking that might force a sync. The info updated but not the pic.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] binkz:
Hi everyone,

I have bought vodafone magic from ebay and just after I bought it I found out that vodafone (Australia) magic is 32b with 192mb RAM.

I really want to flash custom rom on it but I'm quite disappointed knowing that the phone I bought has lesser RAM. I'm in the middle of making decision whether to sell it back and get 32a model or stick with 32b.

Before I root and install custom ROM, can someone please share their experience with 32b model.

1. Is 192mb actually enough? fyi I want sense UI.

2. Will 32a device perform significantly faster than 32b?

3. A bit out of topic but is it true that I can flash most HTC Dream/G1 rom to my magic? Isn't there supposed to be different file for different phone?

Please help me make decision. Your opinion is highly appreciated =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] action_papst:
hey there. you can use it with cyanogenmod 6 rc2 (most recent) very well. runs faster than 1.6, which is istalled when you buy it. most g1 roms run smooth on magic, otherwise the developer mentions problems ;)

the 32b won't be any slower, but it will faster beginn to kill unused apps in the background. with swap and compcache you will propably won't register any difference between 32a and 32b.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] binkz:
Thanks for your reply, that's very helpful.

Just to make sure, when you say most g1 ROM is compatible with Magic, does it mean that the same ROM will run on both magic 32a and 32b?

Because when I see Magic ROM thread, most of them are specific to only 32a or 32b, or when they support both model they will provide separate file.

There are some G1 rom that doesn't say if they are compatible to magic, so im not sure if I can use it for 32b.
[Android Themes] ban_dover:
Lots of people have asked me how to put together a theme control file, and its actually VERY easy but this tool makes it even easier.

this is an example of a theme control file created by this tool

Test-Theme.xml

<themename>Test-theme</themename>
<author>tater-salad</author>
<phone>Android Phone Codename Hulk</phone>
<rom>CM 8</rom>

<item>Phone.apk</item>
<path>/system/app<path>

<item>framework-res.apk</item>
<path>/system/framework</path>
<description>Requires reboot</description>

<item>FM-Reciever.apk</item>
<path>/data/app<path>

<item>My-custom-app.apk</item>
<path>/data/app<path>

run the mm-builder script and follow the on screen directions. you will of course need to put the correct replacement files in their respective directories, but this script will make all the right folders and set up your theme.xml for you. Bash scrip means linux only. This is also a super easy script, so i may get a batch version soon.

You can extract this file to any directory

All thanks to Stericson. W/O him we wouldnt have a metamorph app to begin with :P

WARNING... Proceed at ur own risk... this will break root...

Okay... so i have gotten enough complaints about me having this being unfair and i guess i was trying to be the "overly protective mother" of the slide community... So i have decided to release this and let u guys run wild with it... That should end discussion on whether my initial choice was right... I do this with a GIANT DISCLAIMER: THIS WILL IN FACT BREAK YOUR ROOT!! I am in no way responsible for anything u do with this, what happens to ur device or if ur girlfriend breaks up with u ect... So with that said... here u guys go... have fun with it and those who do flash it post some noticed changes/results.... CR

Instructions: DL the package, unzip the "nothing" folder... rename "OTAPkg.zip" to update.zip and put it on the root of ur SD card... apply this update in stock recovery, reboot, done...

OTAPkg
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dcowboys2184:
and i just got my slide rooted 10 mins ago lol !! do u know if this makes it easier to read adb in recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
I would NOT flash this if i were u... it will kill root and contains an untested recovery.... If u want the latest and greatest, grab the radio update from this in my other thread.... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Dude...this BREAKS YOUR ROOT. That means once you do it, not only are you unrooted, you can't reroot as of yet. So no, it doesn't make it easier to read adb in recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tonyjklh:
no it does not. it was just stated that it breaks your root. it puts a new recovery that patches the current way to root!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
as stated to you before, i'm not applying this. however i was curious to something and had a question.

you say to rename to "update.zip" and place on root of sd. i already have a file named such in that location (i'm assuming it's clockwork). would i place the ota there for the time being since it is only needed to boot to stock recovery? and then when done, replace clockwork update.zip?

also, poking around in the files, i noticed a new or updated mytouch music file. it was the only one that stood out to me, as i know nothing about the other files lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dcowboys2184:
new radio it is !!!! hey go easy i don't ask much on here cause i have common sense just one of those maybe questions !! lol !!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
yes, if ur rooted, which i know u are ;) , then the update thats on the root of ur SD is CW Mod... IF u were to flash this, just back up ur update.zip from ur card and put it in a folder, then put this OTA on the card in its place and apply accordingly... CR

PS: Dont do it lol...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gregb7677:
Am I the only one waiting to see how long it takes for someone to "HELLLLLP I lost root!" in here? lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Whoareyou:
i tried to install but it says assert failed E:Error i /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7) install aborted
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Removed, thought I was in the thread about the new radio. Do NOT apply this if you're rooted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cberbes:
Rename it to update without the .zip. It should work then.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Whoareyou:
its not update.zip.zip its just update.zip also i dont hve clockworkmod i un rooted also im on Champion build,... will that effect anything
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
that would be the method to flash the radio update... if ur trying to flash this full one the process will work but ur gonna lose root
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Then yes, the person above us is right. update.zip, from stock recovery just select apply update.zip. It should work, but I can't really test it out for you since I'm rooted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cna:
I ran the update.zip it worked 100%
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Whoareyou:
i cant flash this so i tried to get into clockwork but the root method doset work for some reason
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
Its a patch update... ur build cant be the champion because it patches UP from 1.27.531 to 1.35.531.... ur current build is 1.18.531.... u need to update to the release software then apply this...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Whoareyou:
and where do i get this
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
if you want to reroot after flashing this cant you just reflash the ESPRIMG.zip from hboot and then redo the root process?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hypersonicx:
thx for the stock update. I applied it to my slide and it installed perfectly. will be posting new findings as I play with it :P
