[Live Wallpaper] 3D Active Blocks **updated 5/22/11 **.

---

This is my first android active opengl 3D wallpaper. Its tilt sensitive and when you touch the wallpaper it causes a ripple effect in the blocks. I have some options to remove the random z axis movement and two different block textures.

I’ve only tested it on my nexus one, and I’m looking for feedback(ideas) and how it runs on other active wallpaper enabled devices.

Thank for trying it out.

Why it asks permissions for Storage and Phone calls?

I have installed it on my HTC Desire and it seems to be working fine.

obvious question is... how's the batterly life since it uses the sensors?

I'm looking into why its wanting those permissions, because the only one I use is ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER for object selection screen buffer writing.

Also I'm working on custom texture selection, which gives you the abillity to use any picture for the textures.

As for battery life, my wallpaper stops running when its not in view so that should help battery life.

Version 3 updated, many new features and effects, see first post for details.

Added video preview see first post for link.

Looks very nice.

cool idea, but it needs higher quality images to start. maybe some additional settings to tweak the users experience?

Looks cool. going to give it a try.
