I uploaded a free version of my app, Epic Audio Visualizer, in hopes of gaining some feed back. It is similar to the Google audio visualizers, Spectrum and Waveform, but much more customizable allowing for interesting effects and styles.

I hope you all like and look forward to any comments and/or suggestions you may have!

Supports Android 2.1+

Here is a QR code for your phones:

Thanks for the heads-up. I bought the full version yesterday. It works great with the CM7 (stock) music player, but not with PowerAmp Pro. Any plans to have it support 3rd party music players?

Thanks for the purchase! Your issue is completely puzzling because that's what I use on my phone, CM7 and PowerAMP Pro, and it works without a problem. I may have to do some digging.

Still looking into why it wouldn't visualize using PowerAmp Pro. On my phone it works for both stock and PowerAmp player. As for the standalone app, it will take a bit longer as I will have to rewrite a good amount of code in hopes of making changes easier in the future.

Nice live wallpaper. Did you use any libraries? What IDE did you use?
Won't this great visualizer go open source? Thanx.

Thanks, it's all Android API using Eclipse. I may open source it, but have not decided as of yet. It's still a very early project and needs a lot of optimizing and cleaning.

Ok, I understand. Thanks for the answer. Wish you every success.

Here is the examples that I used to learn and code my wallpapers

For audio visualization, only works in 2.3+

Basics of live wallpapers

Hope that helps.

In Honor of, Sam Caplat, for putting me on the front page, thanks!, I have updated Epic Audio Visualizer Lite with Grid! This visualizer was previously Paid users only and displays your music onto a grid of dancing colors! Hope you all enjoy!

For me the wallpaper does not work as intended at all. It does not change according to the music but the lines are moving. I used the stock music player and my phone is a Samsung I-5700 Spica. Some other visualizer apps I found in the browser market said the phone was incompatible (didn't say in what way). Are there anything that the phone need that don't is default in the system? Some hardware (like ARM architecture)?

I will look into this, not sure why Lite works and Paid doesn't, they should be almost identical. I will update here, possible the whole app if needed, soon as I figure out what the problem is.

Edit: After a quick glance at the supported devices list, the Paid version supports an identical list. I am not sure why you cannot install the Paid version. =/

Edit 2: Ok give it another go. I changed the one different setting to match the Lite version. I hope that fixes it for you.

    Hello

    I've paid this App V1.9.1 and i must say, i love it. Many Thanks for it.

    But i dont't like the Autovisualization. I think, without Music, a blank Screen looks better (for me ;-) ) Anything Ideas? I'm Root and SU on my Phone.

    I have also installed the Auto Music Visualizations from Justin Buser. In his Wallpapers the Autovisualization is deactivated.

    I wish this Feature also in Your Background's.

    Many Thank's and Best Regards from Germany

    Joerg

    Sorry for my bad English, i'm 43 and shool is long, long ago :)

    Thank you for your interest! I understand your English just fine =] I will look into adding an option to deactivate the auto visualization.

    Latest release force closes on Xoom. None of the wallpapers are working. Was working great before the release though.

    I just released an update that should fix this issue, I apologize for the inconvenience.

    No problem. Just thought I would let you know.

    On a side note, In a future version can you add the option to set a background image instead of just a color.

    I have been meaning to add this for awhile now. Hopefully I can get around to it soon.

    Yes, it is an empty app that uses the wallpaper as a theme android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

    Tried to copy the behavior of the standard wallpaper picker first, but ran into troubles with permissions (ref http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2749791/creating-own-livewallpaperpreview)




    It is slow with all visuals. Had not been able to test with other live wallpapers, as most require a native library that they have not compiled to x86 yet. May very well by a performance problem with the leaked honeycomb version

    Are you running honeycomb on a pc?

    OMG i love it!
    BIG BIG THANKS!!!!
    It would be nice if the Visualizers will be HD!!! :D

    What do you mean? I would consider it HD in the sense that it would never come up pixilated.

    i don't have access to Market. could you please provide APK ?

    I'll edit this post with an APK when I get on my laptop.

    Edit: You can find the APK on the OP.

    Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
