[help] Live wallpaper coding issues - Android Software Development

I'm working on a live wallpaper, I based the basic parts of it off of the live wallpaper example in the sdk.
the live wallpaper works on the emulator, but when I try it on my nexus one 2.2 device, the wallpaper flickers, and distorts when I move screen to screen. If anyone has any information to this issue, I'll gladly appreciate it. If anyone needs to see the apk, or source, let me know and I'll update this post or send it to someone. I'm not too familiar with the android way of coding, I'm more of a .net coder.

CycloneSkins [Knowledgable Coder Wanted]

Hello,
I have 'created' (to an extent) the first Horizontal Theme , based off of the built-in CPR file, for Titanium Homescreens on WM6.5, however I have a setback...
This theme is being developed initially, and probably mainly, for the T-Mobile DASH (HTC Excalibur/S620) which as a 320x240 screen. In order to make this work, i need a very simple background program running. This is what the program should do:
Detect a certain set of pixels on-screen, and check to see if colors match up with predefined values (much like MortScript's "ColorAt()")
If the values match up, swap UP/LEFT and DOWN/RIGHT (to emulate horizontal movement)
likewise, if it detects that the active window is the Desktop/Homescreen, it will Swap
If not, it will not do anything
This program needs to be low RAM usage, and not all that big (which is optimal for every program). The reason I have it check pixels is for people, like myself, who run SmartToolKit , which adds a 'mask layer' over the HomeScreen, making it harder to detect if it is actually the homescreen. If someone can create a better way of doing this, then thank you!
However, my main concern is getting a coder to make this application for me, without it the theme can essentially not exist. More details will be given upon contact.
If you are interested, please PM me or E-Mail me (both are provided by XDA through my profile).
Thank You all!
I am going to work on the actual theme today...
Is there anyone who could make this very simple program for me?
Hey,
I dont know if this is considered 'double posting' since these posts are weeks apart...anyways.
I am in DESPERATE need of some kind person to lend me a hand as far as making really a simple app. I do not have the environment set up for making Windows Mobile applications (i do not have Visual Studio as microsoft insists I do). The app would be:
1- ButtonSwap:
This one will check certain pixels on the screen and use them to confirm if it is the HomeScreen. If it is, then it will swap keys, if not, it wont do anything.​
So PLEASE, if someone is willing to do this VERY SIMPLE task, i would be very very grateful!
Sincerely,
Max B.

App Development Help

I've been trying to create themes for the Market Home Alternatives (such as Panda Home, Open Home, aHome, etc) however, I'm a Graphic Artist, not a programmer. I know very little about Java and even less as to how its applied to Android and I need some help here.
I managed to figure out how to create an .apk in Eclipse (after many failures and problems) and even figured out how to sign it in Eclipse. The app installs fine on my device but it doesn't do anything. It will not apply to any Home Alts.
What I need to know is, what do I need to include to allow it to access these home alternatives. Is there something I must include in the Android Manifest? I noticed a some XML files when I looked into other peoples theme.apk's that aren't in mine.
Could someone explain this to me please? I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance to anyone who drops a line.

On another note, does anyone know why Jarsigner in the Java SDK wont open? When I try to open it, a command-like window opens and then immediately closes. Any ideas there?

[Q] need help with wallpaper app

hello I am wondering if someone can help. I would like to create a simple wallpaper test app. I have tried a few things with no success. eventually I started playing with gallery codes and have a few achievements. but...I am not sure how to attach a wallpaper function to the gallery. i am new to all this (I am only a few months into learning Droid apps with eclipse) is there someplace where I can find complete java coding and possibly the xml files for a working wallpaper? I cannot build from scratch but I am getting better reading the source code creating buttons etc etc.
another option is how can I insert a save as wallpaper function to the working gallery I have? I am assuming I can set a long press function but I am not sure how to go about that either. I do have a tutorial for creating long presses but I am not sure about the proper java setup to accompany this.
any help will be appreciated. keep in mind I am new to both java and android coding. in other words keep it as simple as possible please. or if someone has a simple wallpaper app and they don't mind sharing the source code... that would help immensely..

[Q] Live Wallpaper

Hi everyone!
I've started to learn Java and want to draw my own live wallpaper (2d wallpaper which will respond to actions)
I've installed Eclipse and listened fast Java course, also read few manuals for simple wallpapers (like moving circles).
But now I'm confused about instruments I need to use for animation.
Do I need to draw few pictures and change them one after another or I can use gif images?
Rastr or vector? What expansions are supported?
How to create scrolling backgroud (I read somethere that only OpenGL can do it, is it)?
Maybe I need to use an engine?
I'll be very thankfull for all advices and links.
