Great news

So let me tell you a bit about the next version of Timester.
Some of the new features were expected and the others will be bursting with mind-rocking hamster running awsomeness. In fact, all of them will be bursting with awsomeness:)

We will have wallpaper support on all screens. You will be able to set the clock to swipe with the screen or to stay proudly on center of screen on all screens. Also, you will be able to swap and crop your background image as you see fit.

You will be able to move the clock to ANY position you like. Not just up down, but anywhere.

You will enjoy more timester actions, but we will not describe them here :D

Last bun not least, we will have TABLET support.

So now you can tell us how awesome timester is so we make it even more so faster :)

This is a neat idea, some suggestions though:
Have the time as part of the clock rather than an extension of it, have the time stop ticking when idle (hamster sleeping) and then "catch up" to the time by the lil guy having to run all out for a few seconds. It would look awesome animated.

We will however with the new version, upload Timester to additional 3rd party Markets, like
SlideME, Handango, AndSpot, etc.

Guys stop arguing, there will be a way of accessing the app soon if you read the posts...
@Timester guys, I'll be donating a small amount next month. :)

v1

Version 1 is coming very soon, with a hamster ball full of extras.

Chosen background won't be 'shrinked' any more, it will work just like any other wallpaper where you crop it according to your screen's ratio.

A whole lot more actions from Timester are coming too.

Almost there :D

    Due to the complexity of animation, actions of Timester and limitations in the Android OS regarding widgets, a widget version of Timester is not possible at this time. Thank you for not asking for this again.

    [update] Timester HD - the new Timester is roaming free on the market. Also www.Timester.info is live and updated.
    https://market.android.com/details?id=info.timester.livewallpaper&feature=search_result


    I've been looking for a nice clock for my desire ever since the sense clocks got so old for me. The market provides mostly image+clock arms widgets, so I thought of a different kind of a widget:

    The main character is a very lazy hamster named Timester. This guy realized that he is somewhat overweight and unfit so he has to run the wheel. The hamster wheel turns as he reluctantly runs, which in turn engages a dynamo and all the other cogs and wheels inside. Every once in a while, Timester gets tired and goes to sleep. So when you unlock your phone you will find him sleeping but quickly getting up and getting exercise. Or he will run so fast that the wheel and hamster will seem one. Or hamster will slow so much that he needs a jolt kindly provided by the machine to resume running.

    Blou_Aap was brave enough to step up to the challenge and is committed to building a great live wallpaper. In a few short days he managed to release a pre-alpha version, 0.001.

    There are still a lot of features to be added, and optimizations to be implemented so please be patient with us and provide valuable feedback.

    Here are some visual helpers:

    and some more:

    To download and install: Search the market for "Timester".
    Or you can install from desktop go here https://market.android.com/details?id=info.timester.livewallpaper&feature=search_result

    Also, check out the new website www.timester.info
    We updated it, has some facebook integration so "like" away.

    V 1.04
    - fixed bug that when Timester was on strike made clicks register as timester settings click.

    --------------------------------------------------

    V 1 .03
    - different app and app name, so it won't show up as an update for the old timester
    - more actions
    - better optimised code, running smoother
    - tablet support (tested on galaxy tab) please report any issues on tab or other tablets
    - people with 320x480 screens will see that timester is oversized - don't fret, there are still some adjustments for smaller screens to be done and timester hd will support 320x480 properly

    --------------------------------------------------

    V 0.009
    - Fixed bugs for 480x854 screens
    - Removed app from app drawer

    --------------------------------------------------

    sounds logical so far ... but... now the great but...

    all other livewallpapers have silk and smooth edges even on moving parts of the livewallpaper...

    like the normal gras livewp... or the water...

    so its not an complaint, see it as an improvement if got this to haven't the sharp edges :D

    btw: IT IS! the funniest thing i ever have seen :D

    true, true. I understand you're trying to help, so thank you for that.
    I know the graphics can be improved, either by going all vector with the graphics, and/or going 3d. Bear in mind though that this is our first android project so we may have to work a bit harder to find the best solution :D

    Yes, just have some problems with the stupid preview mode and me and zamo were a little bit away on holiday, away from computers etc.
    Don't worry, Timester is still on It's way and soon too ...
