Running Cyanogenmod 7 nightly #22, invisiblek kernel 2.6.35.10 beta, HBOOT .92, stock radio, Rover's theme for nightly #22, and using wallswitch v 2.0.2.
There really isn't much I can say besides that it doesn't go away until a reboot. Any clue why this is happening? Image explains it all.
Does this happen on a stock install of CM7? I have CM7 and have never had the problem. I have a feeling it could be something to do with the theme or that wallswitch program.
Thinking it could possibly be because that app isn't made for GB yet?
No idea what would cause that or how to fix it (other than the reboot for a temp fix you mentioned), but at least it looks kinda cool lol in sort of a "I hope this isn't due to damaged hardware" kind of way lol.

If it was on a regular PC, I would say that the video card was over heating or the connector is going bad.
One way to check is to take a screen shot. If it is the connector the screenshot will not show the artifacts.

I'm a PC tech and that's exactly why I took the screenshot
Screenshot shows the artifacts so it's not due to a bad physical connection but if it is hardware related (the artifacts) the screenshot will show it. I doubt that the GPU is at fault here since it is ONLY the wallpaper that becomes artifacted. App drawer and every other thing I have tested while the wallpaper is artifacted do not have any issues at all. This is leading me to believe that the wallpaper switching app I use is at fault.
Try bringing the wallpaper into photoshop or something. And resave it out as a .png or .jpg or something that it's not originally and bring it back into the phone. Sometimes the actual picture files themselves can corrupt when being downloaded or transfered.

The file itself does not become corrupted. It is also not just one wallpaper that does this. I have ~6 wallpapers that the app switches through and they all do this at one point or another. Also, if it was the actual file becoming corrupted then that would show even after a reboot or viewing it on my PC from the SD card where it is located.
it is really pointing to the wallswitch program at this point, i have to agree with your assessment before...have you tried rolling w just a standard wallpaper, i know thats the simplistic approach, but sometimes simple is so much easier...have you contacted that apps dev to check compatiblity w GB? Good luck and i hope there is an easy fix...very odd problem

Yeah, it really is the app itself. I haven't contacted the devs about it yet but I plan on it. Using one wallpaper without the app I have no issues so mystery solved. I'm just happy that it wasn't a bigger issue.

Hey all,
i'm currently designing a new theme for Sense ui, however i've managed nearly all of it, but when i recolour text input boxes and save them they look fine, however when on the phone they loose all resolution. become blocky and distorted. if i put the original images back, then they return to the original high resolution, how can changing their colour affect there resolution?

That happens to all .9.png files!
They need to be patched with draw9patch, which u can find in the sdk tools!
You also must use eclipse to recompile the .9png's after you use the draw9patch tool. Search Google for great tutorials on how to use both.

As an avid Rockbox user, I was excited when I discovered this page with precompiled apk's for us. Link I then sadly found out there was no VGA version, only QVGA, HVGA, and WVGA. So I decided to compile it for our beloved VGA RAPH devices. I attached the .apk. Download and install rockboxfixed.apk, download this and extract the "fonts" folder (Inside the zip it is /rockbox-fonts/.rockbox/fonts) to the "rockbox" folder on your sdcard then it should look like the second image and should be more usable. It appears, however, if you extract it to the sdcard you have to manually use the rockbox filebrowser or the theme settings to set it to your selected font. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Outdated: Haven't really gotten to test it so I expect I made an error somewhere, possible in signing the app or whatnot. I'll fix it tomorrow.
P.S. For anyone who doesn't know what Rockbox is: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/WhyRockbox
Edit: Noticed some issues then realized I compiled it for 640 x 480 landscape not 480 x 640 portrait like it should be. Uploaded a new version. *Crosses fingers*
Edit 2: To fix the tiny font follow these steps:
1. Download and extract this and extract it to your sdcard so you have a folder called "fonts" at the root of your sdcard.
2. Open terminal emulator and type: su
3. Type cd sdcard
4. Type cp -af fonts /data/data/org.rockbox/app_rockbox/rockbox
That should do it. It should now look like the second screenshot when you open rockbox. I'll see if I can incorporate the fonts into the apk but not sure how to do that right now.
Edit 3: Wow, just discovered something. You can just copy the fonts folder the the "rockbox" folder at the root of your sdcard. Makes it significantly easier.
Thanks for doing that. Man, i used to have an iRiver, and used and grabbed daily builds for that thing. For other's, it's a really awesome mediaplayer. Well, more then that. I was playing arcade games and doom and such thanks to Rockbox really. This was amazing for an MP3 player that is.

Ok, tried it last night, and not usable. Something about the screen size might be wrong, as the screen fill's up the top left corner (about 1/16 of the screen), and the menu is so small you literally have to squint to read the text, instead of it filling the whole screen. I don't have a picture, but honestly, if you think about an icon size in "Sense", the whole screen menu is honestly MUCH smaller in size in whole then 1 Sense icon.

That's a native Android device... Not sure why you're posting in the Fuze section. Do they have the same resolution, and there is no RockBox app that is for the Desire...? I'd be surprised.

First off, you should download the WVGA version from here not the one I posted. Second, did you try copying the fonts folder to both locations, within the data folder and the sdcard? Just curious if one might work and not the other. I also changed the first post to be a little more clear. Actually I'm having a little trouble with getting it to recognize the fonts on the sdcard too. I just took the rockbox people's word for it. One way to fix it is to use the rockbox filebrowser and just select the font you want. That should do it.
P.S. I'm no dev either, I just know how to use a Linux command line somewhat.

You're very welcome. Timestretch has nothing to do with me, as I'm sure you already know. That's up to the real rockbox devs to incorporate. Just out of curiosity, what do you use timestretch for? I use it for learning guitar licks in songs.

That's sounds like there was a stable Rockbox build for Android which totally isn't true. It's *unstable* and largely unusable. 3.7 is stable for a lot of other devices, but not even a single android phone.

I've asked a few times in the general forum unsuccesfully to see if anyone knew how to fix this, and just bumped my last unsucessful attempt, but I thought maybe this would get me a little farther. Can someone maybe try to get the original nexus s launcher to work right for eg22. I was using ai3 for a while and I knew that ef02 was having the same issue but marcusant was able to get the nexus s launcher working. Basically when you try to install it/including the versions from the market , they will display strangely and fuzzy like they are in the wrong resolution or something. If anyone would take a crack at it though, that'd be awesome.
Last minute notes too, I've tried pulling the launcher2.apk from marcusants rom and put it in bonzai/stock eg22 and that didn't seem to do the trick either.

You must save the zip as an uncompressed zip file. Compression level should be set to storage mode.

That I am doing. Though I have noticed that sometimes "store" in WinRar compresses by just a few bytes. I made one that was completely not compressed (byte match for stored size versus on drive size). Still not working, so I've ruled that out as being the issue.
I'm attaching a version created by the tool in the link above. It still doesn't work. I have no clue why... still looking for hints.

That looks like it'd be a cool animation. I'll mess with it later when I get home. But at first glance comparing it to other animations I have that work, they are either greyscale or RGB jpgs @ 72dpi. Yours are indexed pngs @ 300dpi. That link says png should be ok, but it says to use RGB. Maybe you could try that next.
Here you go. I converted the images to 72dpi RGB jpgs. I'll still probably try again leaving them as 72dpi RGB pngs, but these animations work now.
I included your original 30fps version, but also slowed it down a bit. I think the 12fps looks good, but unless you have just wiped your dalvik cache, you might not have enough time to see very many blinks. The 21fps version isn't bad, but I think it's still a bit too fast. Tweak the speed to your preference.
These are not flashable, btw, so just copy over with root explorer or whatever.
Has to be renamed sanim.zip to work in GB.

I've been looking for a live walpaper that reflects the battery charge level.
Came across Asus MyWater, it's extremely nice, but apparently it won't work at all outside Asus Transformer and its Xoom port. Forcecloses upon trying to assign lwp...
So, found "Liquid Battery" which also force closes..
Any other full screen LWP's to this end ? Not interested in widgets, that i can get easily...
Any ideas ?
Phone runs latest CM9 nightly (as of post date/time).
I've been using asus water on my sgs2 for ages
i've used Neon Clock GL and it could show battery indicator, cpu meter, memory meter, compass, calendar..
u can get it at play store for free..
@Brendo: According to your sig your S2 is on 2.3.6. Mine is on CM9 4.0.4 ICS. Did you try Water LWP on ICS ?
@Gorjess: Nah, looks a bit meh and isn't really what i'm looking for.

Anything like MyWater but not as gorgeous ? Something that drains background as battery discharges ? May not be "rotatable", as long as its full screen...

Yeah, looked at that, but its more of a gimmick. Well MyWater is as well but at least it has some level of precision in depicting level of charge.
If i knew how to program stuff i'd write very simple one that, say, inverts a bitmap image of your choice at the level of charge 1% at a time from top to bottom, no animations no nothing. Just a simple thing. Cant find anything simple as that. Everything is more or less "gimmickyfied" in some way. Fancy battery eating animation, acc sensor usage, etc...
