I was inspired by the Mario live wallpaper on these forums to make something similar using the Doom sprites. I released it as a beta last week and have been constantly updating it as often as I can.

Features:

- Tapping the screen will drop a random powerup after a 5 second countdown (can be disabled in options)

- Powerups are: Medikit, Armor, Shotgun, Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle, BFG 9000

- Dragging and dropping one of your homescreen icons will spawn a random demon for the doomguy to fight (can be disabled in options)

- Enemies spawn in pre-programmed waves starting off with a small number of easy enemies and building up to large numbers of tougher demons

- Waves can be completely randomized in the options

- Maximum monsters in the random waves is adjustable from 1-25 (setting to 1 means always single monster in each wave, setting to 25 means random number of monsters between 1 and 25 will spawn)

- Adjustable animation speed and sprite size

- Statistics screen in the settings that shows number of kills, number of deaths and number of powerups collected by the doomguy

- 4 different image backgrounds will cycle. Options allow to choose your favourite and not show the others, or disable backgrounds completely which can improve performance and reduce battery drain.

- Create a sequence of custom backgrounds from images in your gallery.

- Currently features the following characters

- Game mode allows you to "play" the wallpaper full screen with visible health and armor and high scores.

The response has been very positive so far, it was even mentioned on the xda-developers blog, pocketnow.com and engadget.

It's free, but does contain an admob ad in the settings (same as mario live wallpaper). - This is why it requires internet permission.

[Android Apps and Games] OtisFeelgood:
I'm loving it. Great job man. :D
[Android Apps and Games] cartman09:
Absolutely fun to watch.

Perhaps deaths/max kills per life/current kills counter would be fun :)
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
Yeah I've been thinking about adding a sort of game mode where you have more control over his movements and you can see his health + ammo. But I don't have much time to spend developing it at the moment.

I'm currently working on improving the AI so the monsters can fight each other like they do in the original Doom.
[Android Apps and Games] TheBronze:
Awesome! Thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] imayoda81:
Awesome even on slow processors (msm7xxx)

u rule man !! :D
[Android Apps and Games] UKbornNbred:
Nice 1 Thanks:)
[Android Apps and Games] mastanthony89:
Sweet, keep updating please :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ubermicro13:
Sick! I hate using live wallpapers because of battery usage but I love Doom so much this is well worth it
[Android Apps and Games] PatcheZ:
Soo awesome!

it is possible to add a settings to keep on one 'screen'.

i hate it when i can't see him shooting imps when i'm on a different screen :p
[Android Apps and Games] aceblue:
nube question

Hey I'm new to the Droid experience. What do you mean by scan the barcode? Is there an app for doing that?

Thanks.

aceblue
[Android Apps and Games] MrPontus:
nice, powerups and everything :D

good job
[Android Apps and Games] tjhart85:
Barcode scanner in the market or if you appbrain
[Android Apps and Games] mrfil13:
Good job, working well on my SGS, would be nice if you could choose an image from your gallery for the background.
[Android Apps and Games] Blou_Aap:
Sh!t dude, love it!

AI for a wallpaper hehehe, what's the world coming too :p
[Android Apps and Games] twigster:
This is really good thanks.

Just wondering though, that a boot animation like this with the android robot instead of the marine would be interesting. Anyone seen anything like that anywhere?
[Android Apps and Games] cyclonebee:
The only thing I can really think of is adding the BFG (along with the ability to switch doomguys weapons), more enemies, and definitely the ability to choose which color doomguy you want.
[Android Apps and Games] JagoX:
Looks great and all but why does it note that it needs "Network Communication" under the "Permissions"?
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
There is an admob advert in the settings screen that needs the internet permission.
[Android Apps and Games] JagoX:
Ah ok...still kinda surprised I didn't see anyone mention that though...but if it was then ignore my post ;)

Nothing to see here :D
[Android Apps and Games] deeoh:
Sweet running great on my aria. I can't wait to root my nook color and add this!
[Android Apps and Games] Arcarsenal:
Saw you featured on Engadget, well done! You made me boot up my Nexus for the first time in a week. I love the wallpaper, thanks for making it.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggles:
Awesome man. Loved Doom... it was the first computer game I dreamed about and even befriended some dude who had the game (just that I can play it lol).

Can live wallpapers actually download and stream content?
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
Wow getting on engadget is pretty crazy. I hope people realise this is just the result of a few weeks of me messing about - it's not supposed to be a finished product or anything.

It's probably possible to stream content on a live wallpaper, I never tried it though.
[Android Apps and Games] Arcarsenal:
haha, I think you really hit a nostalgia nerve with a lot of people. I remember waking up at 6AM (when I was in 4-5th grade) so I could play Doom before the bus took me to school. It was the first FPS I remember playing and loving.

I think you've stumbled upon a nice usergroup - I never use live wallpapers but I think I'll keep this on on for a while. Just make updates as you can - try not to stress on the fact that thousands of people are using it. I think it's swell as it is now. Love that fact that I can spawn weapons for my Doom guy....
[Android Apps and Games] coolloser:
Love it!!! Double plus good!
[Android Apps and Games] member7:
how is batery life ?
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
It is better than most live wallpapers, but it will still drain your battery slightly compared to using a plain image.
[Android Apps and Games] member7:
OK Thanks mate. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] 5hahan:
Great work man

Very Nice, brings back good memories.

i use ADW launcher and solved this problem by changing the settings in there. there is an option for wallpaper scrolling under screen preferences and unchecking that kinda solves the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] brapodam:
This is the only live wallpaper that actually runs smooth on my Spica, and that says a lot. The rest of the live wallpapers just make scrolling really laggy and unusable, but this is just awesome and smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
I've just put out a new version that has an option to disable the scrolling. For me I quite like the illusion of depth you get by having the background scroll behind the icons.
[Android Apps and Games] haksam:
thank you for making this happen!

in a few years time we will see doom 3 or rage live wallpapers on better devices

some tips - setting resolution to Low seems to shrink the characters smaller so more action can be seen !

some feedback - poor marine, i wish more random health packs would spawn frequently (god mode is too easy for him)

i bet if you decide to update this wallpaper it's gonna be epic: more bosses, monsters, tap to shoot, health hud etc etc (it'll be like a freaking expansion pack or sequel :eek:)
[Android Apps and Games] spottyelephant:
Doesn't appear on the market for the Milestone, and the apk says "content not supported ". Could you try to fix please? Really like the look of this.
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
That probably means your phone doesn't support live wallpapers, and there's nothing I can do to fix that, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] spottyelephant:
It's the Moto Milestone - EU version of the Droid, I have about 30 Live Wallpapers.

After a quick lookabout - it appears there's a Milestone bug in that it doesn't report it's Live Wallpaper capabilities to the market.

Another dude who published "Coligmo" live wallpaper got around the problem by publishing a live wallpaper that 'doesn't require live wallpaper capability' (ugly solution I know - perhaps could you upload that other version to this thread?)

Sorry for being the inconvenient guy!
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
Ok give this attached apk a try, I removed the tag that says it requires live wallpaper function so it should install if you have 2.1, but I can't guarantee it will actually work.
[Android Apps and Games] weber09:
Thank you so much for this. It is simply amazing. I thought the Mario LWP was cool but this takes it to another level for me.

Also, thanks for adding the scrolling on/off option.

The only things I'd like to see added at the moment are a kill counter and proper splash damage from the rockets. Also, maybe a chainsaw? :D
[Android Apps and Games] jaminroe:
More monsters?

I was wondering if you would be adding more enemy types? There are a couple that I can think of. Also some more weapons. The BFG! Lol. My favorite wallpaper! Awesome job man
[Android Apps and Games] wrapper:
Wow this is fantastic, thank you
[Android Apps and Games] member7:
Good job man! i love this wallpaper. Batery life is very good ! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Mark Chia:
Thanks. I'd put this into my new Toshiba Folio tablet and it runs like a charm. Kinda cute when I can help the guy along by placing spawn points for items to collect. :D
[Android Apps and Games] munkiii:
Will this work on a 1024x600 screen resolution (Archos 101)?
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
If the Archos supports live wallpapers then it should work. The background image might look a bit stretched though since it gets scaled to to fit your screen resolution.
[Android Apps and Games] munkiii:
It is supposed to be running stock 2.2 with custom media apps, so i think it should.
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
Just amazing. Thankyou.
[Android Apps and Games] zuul70:
Great, great job !!

Doom is my favorite game, and this lvp rocks !!

I have a request :

Is it possible to have a mode like the Doom2 credits ?

I mean :

One monster walks facing the screen, then shoots, then dies.

Next monster walks to the screen, then shoots, then dies.

And cycle all the monsters like this.

I think that would make a great wallpaper.

Thank you for considering this request :)

PS : If my demand is unclear, please excuse my english
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
That is definitely possible, but it's almost like a completely different wallpaper. It's not something I can easily add to my current app, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] zuul70:
OK, thank you for your reply !
[Android Apps and Games] arunp44:
Awesome wallpaper man! Brings back some great memories :)
[Android Apps and Games] Lukehluke:
Its a very cool live wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] gelasmus:
Just awesome!

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] yangsakula:
battery killer,help
[Android Apps and Games] spottyelephant:
Thanks for putting that together mate.

Unfortunately no dice for the moment. (Official) 2.2 is just around the corner though, so hopefully that'll fix whatever the problem is.

Cheers anyway
[Android Apps and Games] SIAS87:
Brilliant Live wallpaper - highly recommended!

Thanks for sharing!
[Android Apps and Games] darkangel9685:
Cant see it in the market on my AT&T captivate :(
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
It's still on the market, but you could always try downloading the apk from the first post in this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Sk17z0:
Im going to download this and try it.
[Android Apps and Games] thollis89:
i was using this for a few weeks and i love it, formatted my phone todya and now i cant find it on the marketplace :[
[Android Apps and Games] lordshadowz:
Hi, First off I would like to say thank you for what is hands down the best lwp ever created. It runs flawlessy on my Motorola Droid X. I would happily pay for this app.

I updated to the latest version which has the game mode. I love it! The question I have though is how do I activate the game mode while the background is running? I put the widget on the screen and tapping it does nothing. The only way game mode works is to set up the lwp and go in that way.

Second I have a suggestion with the game mode. You have the power ups at the top of the screen thatlight up. When you press the icon you want it drops it there. What happens is you end up missing the action cause doomguy stays under your finger to get the powerups. Is there a way you can make it so that you can put the power ups anywhere on the screen so you can help your doomguy better? For example as the icons light up when it gets to the health powerup I could click where doomguy is to drop it.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
Try scanning the barcode in the first post of this thread. Or just search for Doom on the market.

The only way to access the game mode is to go through the settings screen. I might make the widget take you there faster in a future version but currently it doesn't do anything except display the health and armor. In game mode you're supposed to drag and drop the powerups down to wherever you want to place them, so just tapping them will make them spawn at the top.
[Android Apps and Games] thollis89:
I did the QR code and clicking the link just says not found, and the market, everything else comes up doom except for yours. even tried restarting my phone, ever since this new market came out things have been odd for me.
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
Perhaps your phone is not telling the market that it supports live wallpapers so the market is hiding the app from you. You could try installing the apk on page one of this thread instead.
[Android Apps and Games] thollis89:
Do you know a way to fix that? I can download other live wallpapers though, also where do I place the APK?
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
You can put the apk on the root of your SD card and use a file manager to install it.
[Android Apps and Games] fp99:
Simply amazing. It’s an awesome live wallpaper.

Just download it and see for yourself.

Great job and keep up the excellent work.

Will there be sound effects yes or no

Hey was up just downloaded the doom wallpapper its awsome is there any chance you will add sound effects to the wallpaper??
[Android Apps and Games] makeshiftknight:
This has been my favorite wallpaper for YEARS. I was thinking though, it would make for an incredible update to be able to change the character models. Like use DooM 64 models, or DooM 3, or even (which may be to complex) be able to port your own in like you could with oold school DooM. Anyway, thanks a bunch!
[Android Apps and Games] Gniddie:
Could you please please please update this to work on current Androids? I've used it for all my Droids up until I got the S7 galaxy
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
Unfortunately I was careless and didn't keep my source code checked in to version control regularly enough. The most recent version of the source code that I still have is quite old and is missing a lot of the features that I added.

It is on github if anyone wants to do anything with it

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jm1999:
Im currently thinking about switching to at&t from tmobile.

One reason is my work gets a 22% discount the at&t vrs 12% at Tmo.

Also with taxes and unlimited everything im paying about a hundred which is kind of rediculous. (Without my discount)

Has anyone switched before and have a little more insight about data and plans between the two networks. I already know tmobile has hspa+. But will i end up paying more at at&t?

I already have someone lined up to trade my tmo nexus for a att nexus. Im just skeptical. And yes im going to pay etf fee even though i dont want too.

Help me out here people.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frito11:
Att generally is more money for the same service and their coverage is not much better at least where I live
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
First of all, don't sign a contract because you're providing your own phone so you don't need to go on contract. Secondly, have you checked to make sure that T-Mobile has 3G in your area? What's your zip code?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smachine:
How much etf do you have to pay? I dont think its a smart move to switch from tmo to att because of the extra 10% savings. Im pretty sure atts prices are inflated above the 10% difference. If you really wanted to save money then you can just switch your tmobile plan from your unlimited everything. If you switch your texting to google voice you can save $20 a month just from that. You can lower your minutes and start using sipdroid for your calls and have virtually unlimited free calls as long as you have decent data connection or wifi, and you can use your tmobile minutes as a backup.

So if you really wanted to get creative and still have a virtually unlimited plan you can sign up for the 500 minute plan on tmobile for $29.99, and get on the $10 web2go plan (this is the reason alone why i wont upgrade my phone for a long long time). $40 a month, and no contract.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jm1999:
2 questions... how do I get on web2go plan. And how do I use gvoice for texting?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frito11:
pretty sure web2go is one of the old grandfathered plans the only way you have it is if you stuck with your plan and never changed it.

T-mobile just like other carriers play dirty tricks with plans to get their money back from subsidized phones.

i for example recently went the route of buying a used N1 for more than a G2 would have cost me subsidized up front because i'm on a grandfathered G1 data plan so currently i pay 55 dollars a month for 300 min 400 texts and unlimited data. i dont talk or text enough on my phone to justify more so its the cheapest thing for me to do is stick with it. if its not enough for me at some point i can upgrade to the even more whatever base plan without contract because i'm out of contract on my G1 now and it will run me 60 a month for 500 anytime unlimited text and data. had i bought a subed G2 i would have had to pay 80 a month for the same exact plan that is 60 off contract.

from what i have seen ATT is about 20 dollars more a month for the base plan that you would want on a N1 or other similar phone and as i said before in my experience at least in the SF bay area coverage is equal between t-mobile and ATT for the most part, maybe a slight edge to ATT in some places but for the most part the same.

Sprint is the only carrier that i have seen that comes close to the cost of T-mo and even with a subed phone like a EVO 4G your only looking at 70ish a month for a comparable plan but its nice staying off contract because it gives me more options in the not so distance future :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smachine:
I signed up just last week with tmobile and picked the $10 unlimited internet for phone option which is the same as web2go. Log into your tmobile account and go to add services, and there should be $10 unlimited mobile web for phones. Just make sure you do it before tmobile changes to the tiered plans, and set your device as being a dumbphone. Set your apn settings to internet2.voicestream.com and it will be good to go.

For google voice texting you just use the built in google voice application, or the normal contact list on your phone. It will send texts out from your google voice number. I sent one massive text out to all my contacts telling them my google voice number was my new main number. Might seem like a pain telling people a new number but after you do this it will help you out in the long run. You can setup sipdroid for free calls and all incoming and outgoing calls from your google voice number can be made without the use of any minutes if you have data/wifi. I made a step by step guide for that at this link:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
I went the other way and am never going back to att!

[myTouch 4G General] Jon C:
Well, I'm liking the MT4G so far. One of the few things I don't like: T-Mo has replaced a lot of the stock 2.2 applications that I quite liked. For example, the stock 'Gallery' app.

I didn't see it on the market (which isn't the easiest thing to navigate in the first place). Is there any way (besides rooting and so forth) to get this stock app onto this phone, in place of the Gallery app they included? Can it just be side-loaded?
