[Live Wallpaper] Album Art - RELEASED!
- Thread starter David Horn
- Start date
Refresh interval
Hi.. does the refresh interval refreshes the wallpaper even though the phone is in a standby state (ie. screen off)? It would certainly be a waste of resources (battery!) if so.
Can you please add longer intervals like 1 hour, 3 hours, etc?
Thanks!

As an Apple owner, I love this idea. However, it makes my phone lag quite a bit.
I'm on an EVO (yes, this the an N1 forum), and I'm running CM6 RC1. I have plenty of available memory and I'm running the buttery-smooth .35 kernel.
Any ideas?

Time for an update, and a confession:
You might have noticed that I've been a bit quiet on here with regards to updates etc. Well, part of the reason for this is workload, but the main explanation is a computer screw-up which accidentally deleted the source code to the project.
I'm now back on version 1.1 (which was the last working backup) and obviously have a bit of catching up to do. Having said that, using some of the lessons learned from version 1 is leading me to a slight redesign that should allow images to be plucked from any of the libraries on the phone, including photos and contact thumbnails.
As the saying goes, watch this space.
Thanks to everyone for their support on this project.

1Have spent a bit more time working on Live Wallpapers, and the newest one pulls your album art and shows it on the home screen, a bit like the screensaver OS X comes with.
Features:
* Accesses your Android album art library (if you see it in Music Player, you see it here...)
* Shuffle feature
* Compatible with LauncherPro
* Very fast (approx 0.5 seconds on first load)
* Smooth scrolling between screens
* Periodically changes individual covers
* Opaque setting to make pale text easier to read.
Update:
Thanks to the team of beta testers who did a great job helping me identify bugs and implement a few new features. The Album Art Live Wallpaper is now released to the Market for 99p, and a demo is also available for free.

Album Art Live Wallpaper (Demo)
Free copies:
If you encounter a serious problem in the demo (for example, it won't load on your phone) and you work with me to fix it by sending a log entry etc, you get to keep a free copy. ;-)
Update v1.1 (16/07/10):
Just uploaded version 1.1 to the Market. Amongst other fixes this addresses an issue where incomplete album art collections resulted in a large number of grey Android tiles (missing artwork) showing on the home screen. The app will now make 10 attempts to find a replacement tile before giving up and moving on.
Update v1.2 (19/07/10):
Various bug fixes; possible solution for Droid users ("Use internal storage" option), greyscale rendering.
Download the demo below or on the Android Market. It's only 99p and took a huge amount of time and effort to get to this point, so if you like it, please buy it!1Time for an update, and a confession:
