Custom Video Wallpaper Tutorial! - Xperia Play General

http://fifteenmegabytesoffame.blogspot.com/
Excuse the messy, unkept site, I just made it, haha. It's quite easy, plus I included a quick demo at the end of the article! Hope you enjoy!

I think this kind of customizations would rock on a not-portable computer, but on a mobile it's useless and it only devours your battery.

It kinda cool despite that it drains battery
anyway nice tutorial, i think its helpful for someone who want to have a video played on the home screen

Asus Glide

Is anyone working on porting this to other devices ? I found a thread in the general-general section without feedback so i think its not well known what Asus brought out with his p320 device, but it runnes on a slow 200 Mhz cpu with QVGA with smooth animations and fadings so this or Parts of it could be interesting for us and not to hard to crack (hope so) for other devices:
here you see today plugin with great animations and a kind of cube with multi homescreens (watch full videos ist getting better and better):

- pictureviewer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YC-dQNXSg0
- icatchyou for googlemaps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTQUlnYv2i0
would be nice, it´s a completely new concept (at least for me) and Asus really had some nice ideas. Eg the player, selecting single songs out of one album and then start to play - don´t know any other app / player that has got this feature.
Eh, you´re telling me there are playlists...I know, but this isn´t as convenient.
So, let´s get a dump, I´d say
regards,
Martin
yeah that's a very nice today screen and i also love the music player! shouldn't be too hard to port i guess
That would be great cause I have a phone that looks like that ASUS!
I really hope someone can port this too..but I rather not get my hopes up, no one has been able to port the Asus Lambo today plugin yet..only managed to skin it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386041&highlight=lambo
yes they do a good job, but everyone here is just working on manila and mobile shell, boaring
well, those two are very nice graphically done interfaces that people like and both are highly customizable. But I've quit both..because it makes me reset me phone like twice a day due to memory loss
can anyone here with ASUS phone dump it??????
Hi there! I have Asus P320, but there is no Glide GUI in this phone. Only the today plugin is the same. My firmware is 4.10 and the latest is 4.13. There is no word about Glide in the change log.
mmhh, so u just have the today plugin and none of the applications from first Post ? i read some articles from May 2008 about glide and that it is part of the P320
Looks pretty sweet! Please genius programmers/hax0rs port this out for us!
It looks darn good! However, I think that the p320 only has the 2d stuff (like the opal and the m2d) on asus' homepage one can see that the p552w has the glide stuff and it has a whole lot stronger cpu than the p320 624MHz vs 200MHz. Just my two cents.
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=11&l2=55
That's right.
Someone buy the phone already and put us out of our misery, by being a dumpster Hehe
one thing i was impressed with is the icatchu it has some pretty nice features if that could get dumped out that would be nice
Truely Amazing that those run so smooth on a 200mhz CPU... god that things battery life would be rather extensive making it an excellent mp3 player for general users and since its so finger friendly it could be for anyone really.
I hv the ROM dump..I will try to post the files from it...still not sure which dlls are also reponsible.All this is kept very secret even if one dumps the ROM
do you colect PDA´s??
Glide rom...
Was the dumped rom posted?
nice interface
i hope we can find a cab install for us

New Graphic Interface

On Modaco there is a new interface for the Omnia:
http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-...ated-9-12-08-new-graphic-interface-for-omnia/
Anyone seen this?
Would be nice to have on the Touch HD.....
looks ugly!!!
Interface looks like from some sci-fi movie, which means it's hard to use and useless.
the project its also on xda.. they released some flash demos and this from my point of view looks really promising.. fast animations and very finger friendly.. hope it turns out as good as they want it to be because this really deserves the hard work..
its a step forward like pointui
A lot of negative comments here guys. Personally, I think it looks ok great, and just 'cos it looks different to manila does not mean it wont work easily.
Let's give it a chance - then judge

I totally agree. Futhermore, I think it looks like a fantastic improvement on TouchFlo, which really is not a user-friendly interface.
I would agree, I think it looks fantastic. I'm not sure it's totally practical, but looks very impressive. Show that to your iPhone owning friends to make them jealous...

Updated Video: Trigger V2.1.1

Thought some of you may like to see this amazing ROM in action:
Edit: watching this from your phone, watch from the embedded video. Mobile youtube doesn't show annotations, which I prefer.
Update V2.1.1 video added:
http://goo.gl/f9s65
in the videos you should start talking the song is annoying as hell for me since i'm a teen and i'm used to some rock lol.
Muted it and put on some eminem (cool kid yeah!)
I do that because "I Found my Baby".... the rom. Grow up and listen to real music every now and then, it wont hurt. I'm 30.
My suggestion was for you to talk, instead of annotations, yet you tell me to grow up.
What does growing up have anything to do with liking which kind of music?
you like that kind, sorry i can't tell what it is, i like rock, pop, rap etc.
Grow up and learn to accept that all people aren't the same.
Definition of music: an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner
Yeah i'm sure rap has that, oh look, so does rock omg.
I guess every music is "real"
you said the song was annoying as hell... for you... b/c you were a kid.... hence what i said. Talk about the video/rom.... leave music out of it. FYI, non-teens like rock too....
What launcher is that?

ADW Launcher i THINK its EX but i'm not sure, he annotated it somewhere in the video.

ADW EX, start of the video...
The rom and the launcher do look really nice and smooth. I'm still apprehensive to changing roms since I've become accustomed to my Nero v.5. Do you see any main differences between the 2 roms which would make me want to switch?
Either way, that rom looks great and thanks for putting up a quick overview for us to see.

Awesome video s15274n! I agree about the color too. Why go black/white when you have a SAMOLED screen?
So glad everyone is liking the rotary lockscreen.
I love our team. <3 Expect more great things to come in the near future.
Oh... and the song was perfect!

Honestly, bionix was a big improvement over nero, for me... And this just seems SO much better. Again, everyone is different and I really like team whiskey and huge fan of Master.. This rom is just better right now. To be fair to Master, I haven't tried his latest, but I will... Esp excited about his miui port.

WOW, didn't realize this... That is a reason to speak and not use annotations. I've sent a tweet to see if there is a fix for that. Shame, I do it this way to not wake my daughter...

All the roms since nero 5 have improve on gps, speed, and data. That alone is enough to change rom. I've always found the TW releases to be very underwhelming to the eyes. Ugly black and green. Trigger looks terrific and performs like a champ. Great work edt.

^ pretty much exactly my thought
How could anyone be annoyed by that music? That does look very sweet. Now let me read the whole thread and see what I'm looking at.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
^ they just released V2.1... I'm holding off until all the mods are updated (today/tomorrow) b/c I just love the semi-accurate battery mod that much... also, not sure how the rom could really be improved much to be honest.
edit, thought of one thing... seems like all froyo roms recently are limited to 4 windows in the browser, not sure why this is.
Who's the artist? Sounded a bit like Ray Charles then he did some George Benson type guitar scat? I watched on YouTube mobile so no notes, just to be sure this is what rom? PS can't you just use the battery mod app or theme the battery icon through metamorph?

If you install these apps and follow the tutorials, the note transforms into a future proof tablet

Combine the above with the rocket rom and the world explodes!!
Samsung's social media marketing team should hire you.
Nice job as always.
Is there any themes out there that changes the default icons for Phone, Contacts and Whatsapp? Those are the only 3 icons that are ruining the look for me right now. Using ADW EX.
The answer is yes

Yep sure, just download ADW EX theme packs (I use ADW elegant)
After doing this just simply:
-Long press your icon.
-Click edit.
-Select ADW theme packs and pick ADW elegant *or your choice
-Select your new icon.
-Done.
There's a section of this in my 3D UI tutorial vid.. Hope that helps!

@James Harrison: you sure the DSPManager thing works? I installed it I dont see any difference..
been watching your vids ever since.
really like what you did to your note.
thanks for sharing!

Yea I know it works, I wouldn't listen to the note without it, no way. Make sure the box is ticked for enabling and try playing with the eq while listening to a song
What theme are you using for the one more clock ?
Looks Fantastic, is there a way to make it work in some fashion when in portrait mode. Thanks for sharing... has given me a bunch of ideas in terms of customization.
In terms of battery how much of a difference do you find over touchwiz, i had done this with my galaxy s2 previously using goEX and ADW but found the battery to be 15% less on average, using the same widgets etc. Is that old news now and do any of these widgets have any noticeable drain, as it does look fantastic.
you wouldn't mind sharing all those wallpapers, would you?
Nice video. The suggested apps should certainly augment to make the ULTIMATE NOTE even more interesting...
I froze the original launcher. Is there a way to make the interface look a certain way in landscape (like your interface) and a totally different look and interface in portrait mode? Would I have to keep two launchers active in order to achieve this and swap launchers depending on if I want to be in landscape or portrait? I think having two active launchers would slow the note down if thats what I had to do...
You showed SVOX in this vid. Did you ever try Ivona? It certainly needs more space but IMO it's way better.
How did you get the background To change as you flipped through the home pages?

After watching your clips, I go wild installing live wallies here and there. Not too fond of the aquatic wallpapers though PP, and I notice you may not have checked this one out (market.android.com/details?id=com.ramdroidstudios.livewallpaper.fireflies) which is far more playful and fun than staring at 'season zen' of that nature. I do love 'blue skies' a lot, thanks for recommending that!
Installed the A.I Keyboard and it's great. As a former WP7 user, I'm loving the theme and "click" sound from the WP7 keyboard. The keys are larger and I can type fast as well. Thanks!

Resurrecting the spark Galaxy S5 somehow lost

I feel like my phone got extremely boring and harsh to use day to day, it lacks the initial freshness and stuff like that, it just isn't so fly like it was a few weeks ago. I was wondering if someone could bring up some root tweaks to refresh the user experience, possibly without losing the original rom

You could try installing Xposed installer, it has some nice modules to add looks and fuctionality to the phone.
First, thank you for your quick response.
I already have Wanam and squashed every fancy bit out of it, but it just doesn't feel so alive even through it looks at it best. I would apprecciate if someone could acknowledge some tweaks that can do things like gesture swiping between multitasked applications, like in chrome for android and its tabs, or as it was on old iPhones with some tweaks from Cydia.
I feel the same way too. Unfortunately, the phone really was well made and Android has come a long way. There aren't many things to really mod.
Even the kernels aren't important as much because the battery life is far superior to previous Samsung phones.
The only reason I use a custom kernel is for the fast charge.
A potential bug for installing xposed is S Health not working(can work through build prop edit ) and air gestures not working at all.
Air gestures work well with mine, i thought something should be worked out with the basic framework, like they did with the volume panel when you increase or decrease the volume, it moves smoothly now, not in small cut steps like on previous firmwares. Small bits like that add to the experience and when they are composed good, it can turn out very well. Aah if i could work in some UI development..
I love that you came up with this thread! I have been feeling the same way. Got everything pretty close to how I like it between rooting and many xposed mods. Don't really want to accept that maybe I don't need to constantly be on XDA finding new tweaks to try. I guess with my previous S3 I got so used to all the custom roms I could play with that would each feel a little different. I think a big problem with the xposed mods is that once you have found and used them they are pretty much always available whatever ROM you use as long as you have root. Once you have found that particular module and enjoyed its unique abilities it becomes an expected part of your experience from then on. And now most of them can do almost all the same things as the most feature rich custom Roms. Thankfully it looks like CM is finally starting to roll out for the S5 and hopefully the usual suspects and some surprise Roms will pop up. Unfortunately I've already played with almost all of the CM11 based ones on my S3 already so I think there will not be a whole lot of freshness there. Oh poor me! Bring on Android L!
Tapped It!
I hope something will be done with system physics and touch picking behaviour, i love Android and would love it to have the same feel like iPhone when scrolling etc. Try it and you will know what i mean. And i know it is very possible even with an open OS like Android so shut up and develop the fresh out of it.
