[Live Wallpapers Collection] - *Tested on ALL Latest builds*

Hey guys, given that battery life/Rom speed has improved on most custom roms for the HD2, I decided to give Live Wallpapers a try. I have been searching throughout many threads in XDA looking for some of the best Live wallpapers (According to my likes) which are around the forum.
However, I will be posting the original thread links because many of them are in beta testing stages and that way you could also help in the development of this awesome live wallpapers by sharing your experience with them.
I will be posting more as I find them and test them.
VR Tunnel - Here
DroidX Eye (many other colors) - Here

This are the Beloved LWP from the Samsung vibrant. This port works for non-rooted phones and are not phone specific. Tested them all and I don't see performance affected. at least nothing that im not willing to give for some aesthetic
Original thread for non-rooted Here
more to come as I finish testing. Enjoy
Some screenshots

The VR Tunnel is fun, my 14 y/o son thought it was very cool also, now to find widgets that look nice on top on it.

install a file manager from the market (e.g. astro) then navigate to where you put the .apks on your sdcard

Digital Rain, its in the market.

I don't know about everyone else but I've noticed that any live wallpaper significantly slows down the performance of my phone. I've tried it on every build available. Maybe some people can live with the slow down but it bugs me. I can't wait until I can run live wallpaper well.

Thanks Dude. How about the Galaxy S Live Wallpapers. They have been ported to nexus one but couldnt find them in apk form

Some of them do. I have found many other LW and skipped them from this post. Imagine a 14MB LW. That one specifically was the best I saw for my likes but it slowed down the phone by a lot.
I hope that OpenGL ES updates are as nice as the latest flash updates I've seen. Hopefully AOS3.0 will do

I love the Mario Live Wallpaper by pikipirs on this forum I'd post a link, but XDA won't let me

Lol. Thanks for the addition. By the way, did you confirm they work on the HD2? remember some apks are not modded/signed and sometimes they dont work on other phones.

haven't tried all of them but can confirm that core galaxy, nexus revamped, duck hunt, ones work. btw, for some reason that vrtunnel one works on my hd2 but not on my vibrant, which is unrooted. keeps crashing. is this because the compass on the vibrant is defective or the fact that it's unrooted? lol

That Manila looks Real nice dude!!

NFL Analog Clock Skins for CHT *NEW v4 Set now Available* (All teams included)

Those of you, who have been on my dialpad skins thread, already know I've been skinning various items on my device to rep my team (Die Hard Eagles Fan!). I've skinned the analog clock used in cht. Once again, I liked the way it looked so much, I decided to make them for every NFL team and share. They are all installed using black hands.
I've added a 2nd set (v2) They all contain white hands that are set 75% transparency. If you'd like a different color for the hands, leave me a request and i'll see what i can do. Let me know what you guys think of them. Enjoy..
Only works if Cookie's Home Tab is installed.
EDIT:Here's a cab for the original cht clock.

Great work. Thanks.
One comment though - When I uninstall your cab, it removes the analog clock altogether. It does not restore the original clock. Fortunately, before installing your cab, I backed up the 4 files that it overwrites inside \Windows directory.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I did set the cabs to allow uninstall so i don't know why it erases all the files upon uninstall. I attached the original clock cab to the first post for those that want to revert back.

Thank you for your effort.

Your welcome my friend! If there is any other type of clock you'd like let me know. Enjoy..

Hey ezzie, check out these clocks I put together for ya with images I had gathered a while back. I had plans on making a few different ferret skins and never got around to it. I kinda got back into clock mode for alil there cause of making the basketball jersey one's and thought it was a perfect time to at least make you a few of them. I had posted them on ppcgeeks a few days ago but I guess you didnt spot them yet. It won't hurt to post the here too and plus users here can have access to them as well. What do you think of that idea, would you like some different ferret skins? Sorry but didn't add the hands to the screenshots below. v1 & v3 have white hands and v2 has black ones. Enjoy..

Hey Thanks for this!!! I am going to be the envy of all my Iphone and Droid phone Jet fan friends this weekend at the Jets/Steeler game!! This is great!!!

Na sorry haven't made any of those yet. I'm sure someone here has already made a few star wars clocks. Let me see if I can find any for you and if not I'll go ahead a make a few of these for you as well.

[APP] [WIP] [CONCEPT] Google Talk Widget

ok so i got a bit bored doing my Law Case Study so i quickly chucked together this Google talk widget concept.
its very much in the zune/windows phone 7 look but at the same time i tried to make it match the new gingerbread colours and be comprised of very minimal elements to make it easier for people who like to skin things
in my mind it works very simply, the bottom displays a series of dots each dot represents a contact to switch between contacts you simply swipe left / right along the contacts gmail at the bottom (localised swipe to prevent issues with home screens).
you type in the top box black represents incomming the grey / white represents outgoing. green dot is obviously status (contemplating making contact dots at bottom represent status colours to)

contact me via pm if you would like to be a part of this project

You're great, just gave me an idea of how to put live tiles without getting smacked by M$. Why don't you join my project for good?

well if you would like to put me down as a designer you can , but that's about as far as my usefulness will probably go on your project as there is no way id be able to code anything for a very very long time.
ideally i would like a code partner lol so i could design blah blah they can make it work then we can split market profit LOL!, ahh dreams

You can start designing for the dialer application. MDPI and HDPI must be done. Just tell me when you're done.

Omg that looks awesome. I was hoping someone could FINALLY make a gTalk widget of some sort considering it's my primary mode of communication.
Hopefully something arises from your concept. Will be monitoring and donating if something like this would come to fruition.

Wow, this would be awesome, one of the few apps that I'd actually pay a couple of quid for (as long as it was relatively bug free).
Times like this I wish I could code, would love to see this.

I'd love it too. Really raises questions as to why one isn't included in stock..

wow this widget would be badass.....
ill keep an eye out for it in the future
if only I knew coding id be happy to help..
let me know if you need any testers

Looks like a great concept, id love to test for it.

Sounds great, I'll test as I have no experience coding.
Sent from my ClearDroid powered Inspire 4G using XDA Premium app

It will require the gtalk app to be hacked and a new api must be used to bring up the keyboard on homescreen and send typed letters/words to the widget.
btw: swiping left/right for changing contact won't work, it probably have to be implemented with two buttons.
And: The conversation list will probably have to grow from bottom to top so you can see what you are typing..
this widget is really needed ^_^

As a real Android AppWidget, this seems quite impossible.
Read the docs and you'll see how limited android app widgets are.
It is possible to integrate it in a launcher's code directly, and I would love to see it somewhere eventually. Nice design

And?
Scrollable widgets have also been impossible until developers agreed on a proprietary scrollable widgets api.

I'd love to see some sort of popup rather than a widget. If you're already going to press home and scroll over to a widget to check/send messages, it isn't much more work to just open the app. But if you could make some sort of popup that could come up over any part of the screen, that would be much less work and actually be useful.

Xperia Arc Home (Runs great, no force closes!)

Thanks to an XDA user named Lef.teris here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970643&page=1, the system dump for the Sony Xperia Arc has been posted. Another user named Paolo599 ripped the home launcher (called Sony Ericsson Home)... this can be found:
http://www.multiupload.com/2YETWLF218
I've been using it for the last 20 minutes with no force closes. Sony decoupled it's launcher with it's Time and Mediascape apps, so I'm guessing this is why it's relatively pain free to use.
Try it out, it's very cool. You can drag and drop apps into the dockbar and it has a folder management system FOR the dockbar. 5 screens. Very clean looking. It's app drawer also has "pages" as well. Only thing I see wrong is that it's made for slightly bigger phones because the dock text is cut off.
Lemme know how you like it. I don't know if the demand is there, but I'm sure if the home works this good- all we need to grab is the walls and the sounds and we can transform the look of our Vibrant's pretty fast.

Nice, got any screenshots?

Of it in action on my phone? No. But this is what it generally looks like minus the widgets and the dock text (it's made for higher res phones) http://topnews.net.nz/images/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-01.jpg

That's pretty clean.. I like the silver battery mod.

Pretty cool, always nice to have new options. It does look a little cut off at the bottom though.

Well, according to the Arc section- Sony has made everything in the launcher open source to distribute and mod so maybe someone can mess with the resolution?
Maybe a full on port?

In the short time you've been using it did you notice any selling points of the launcher beyond the look of it?

Folders, the app drawer looks nice, at least unique with custom ordering. Btw, its free, small, and you can switch off at any time, why do you need to be sold?

I dont need to be sold. Every launcher has its own set of features.. Was wondering what this launcher had.

Love the dock/folder integration.

The bottom dock icon doesn't line up. Maybe just mine. Posted some screenshots of the launcher.

The bottom doesn't line up because the Arc has a higher resolution than our phones. A dev is going to have to mess with it if they want it to be perfect.
I'm gonna add a screenshot or two of yours to the main post and give you credit.

no problem sir. i hope one of our themers here can give this a edit to make the icon docks line up.

Flashed it earlier.. I like how the app drawer and how the dock lets you have folders. If the dock were black and wasnt so tall id rock this over adw

Same here. I love how we can do this with android.

Special Thanks to stuntdouble

Actually, I'm from HK and I have to apologize for my poor English.
If any problem, just PM me.

That's pretty sweet. Just having that effect and it saying ASUS would be a nice bootup. Are their other effects? Or could you make an image of a honeycomb android explode like that?

ASUS or ANDROID would be cool and universal.

just update two bootanimation

a template that allows us to write custom word (such us our name) would be cool
that will make my friends go frenzy if i pull it on them (have to compete with friends who owns ipad n galaxy tab here )

Great work sir! Thanks very much!

Good work! Thank you.
The more content like this people produce the better for everyone.
for anyone that is interested I've found that with no art skill you can still make these if you rip videos from you tube into image frames and follow stunt doubles instructions to make the animation.zip. I know it's cheating but it's simple and easy and let's even a goof like me make his own animation.

These look super nice, but unfortunately I find them too laggy to use. It takes ages to render the animation the first time around.
So I'm going back to Honeybee for now, being under 1MB it's pretty smooth.

I admit that the first of render the boot animation is pretty laggy. However, it would not appear after the first time.
I made the boot animation is about 640*400. I have already lowered the resolution and I just want to keep the basic view.
