Hi
I've released a new free wallpaper onto the android market (link in my signature). I've only been able to test it on a couple of devices and was wondering if someone could test it on the SII?
Feedback is always welcome and if you like it, a positive rating and/or comment would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Paul
Works on Galaxy S2.

Excellent. Thanks (and have 'thanked' buttoned).
How's the speed? Is it smooth enough? The Desire got a bit laggy on the large text size. Does the SII still suffer?

Galaxy S2 doesn't lag on any live wallpaper for me. I have tried like 15 of them so far.
It does lag when moving text around on large font if you meant by that. Moving/swiping home screen has no lag, weird.
The wallpaper has a managed frame rate for battery/performance trade off - so it being a bit laggy is to be expected at its default setting.
I am curious if setting the FPS to 40 makes this better?
Thanks again,
Paul

40fps or 10fps is same for me. The lag is only millisecs, so it's not that bad.

Thanks again for checking. You're a star.
Nice idea!
Nice LWP. The option to set a custom background in the free version would be nice. Some customisable fonts for the pro version perhaps?

Very good app to adjust the Screen Color intensity and saturation.
Enjoy.
Cheers for that mate looks like an interesting app,will download and have a look.
Might check this out and see what its like

This is an awesome app but I just realised that this app made the phone very slow and sluggish especially the stock web browser, can anyone confirm that?

I just noticed that it does slow down the animation.

I made this app for educational purpose
Glad to hear if someone likes it
On my old SGS, everything works great, the animation is smooth just as without SA
Stock browser the same
So far, only ppl with SGS2 and TranformerPad complain about it...
A few days ago I bought SGS2 and I don't see any slowing down
Probably it is related with soft version, I have KH3 (I didn't test on old firmware)

i am using newest firmware KI3 and have tested with KH3 as well. Animation slow down and becomes sluggish in stock browser, you can test, the scrolling becomes very not fluid as it should be... Pls check, i really love this app and hope you add the option to remove the icon on status bar as well^^

Dont scroll too fast, scroll slowly then you will see the animation is not smooth, check at the end of the scrolling when the scrolling is slowing down until it stops

Good Job mate, Just tested the new version and there is no graphichs glitches.
Unfortunately I don't have Galaxy S2 now but I tested it on HTC Sensation which is suppose to be less performer than the S2 because of HTC Sense and had no problems what so ever with it as before the graphics seems slower and animation is jumpy.
Best regards
Glad to hear

Nice app.
The Galaxy S II has a blue tint and I wanted to adjust the colour temperature to be more accurate. Though whites are now actually white, it looks like there's a thick weird tint, kind of like a beige layer placed on top of the bluish under layer.
I was wondering if providing a negative value options for colours would help?
Cheers and great work on the app.
Seriously cool app
Hi
I've just released Dino Pop Live Wallpaper onto the Android Market (link in my signature below).
I don't have a Galaxy S II to test it on - would you mind testing it out and let me know if there are any issues with speed etc?
Much appreciated.

I've installed it and - while personally I won't change my wallpaper for it permanently - it works perfectly. It started lagging significantly at around a score of 180 though.
Edit: While testing the 'no game' mode, I found a bug: if you keep tapping the screen the framerate drops drastically. I still like the dino animation though .

Thanks bee55 (and have 'thank'ed).
I'll was thinking of putting some sort of graphic quality throttle in place for higher levels - that would certainly help with the lag.
I hadn't noticed that 'no game' bug and I'll get right on it.
Glad you liked the T-Rex - I'm working on some more to add some variety. Raptors anyone?

You're welcome. Unless you meant it sardonically then: 'You're welcome'
If you like I could do an 'Accountancy Pop' to balance things out?
If you are running low on storage and are interested in Dino Pop, no fear - I've just released:

Just recently upgraded to a 4.0.3 build and wow... The difference is tremendous. 4.0.2 felt really smooth and lag-free but this is really taking advantage of the hardware. It's by the far the smoothest UI I have ever used on a mobile device. Android has really come a long way! I don't think I could ever go back to using a Gingerbread device again
In case anyone is interested in giving it a shot, this rom + this kernel produce amazing results.
EDIT: Removed the video. Just realized some of the phone numbers are readable.
Can't wait for my Nexus, gonna unlock bootloader , root it, and then install 4.0.3
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
4.03 by itself is a lot better.. recent app button lag is practically gone from that alone..
Franco's kernel does help, of course.. but it was better than 4.02 even without it.

Yeap, I was on 4.0.3 alone before switching to franco's kernel. Both are much faster than 4.0.2. The kernel just gives it a little extra oomph.
As an CDMA/LTE user I guess I can just watch.
Nice, I'm going to wait for the official OTA or flash it manually once it's available because I don't want to lose all my settings.
I NEED 4.0.3 NAO!! omg I want it so bad!!!1! j/k
But seriously, I want it!
Can you show a vid of you pinch-zooming/scrolling around a heavy website like The Verge's desktop?
My G-Nex (VZN) is pretty laggy on that site, I wonder if 4.0.3 improves it..
No phone numbers required!

Still a bit too early to tell but I hear good things from other members.
Another +1 here for this combo. Loving it.
Turns out I also got a nice CPU that is happy to run with low voltage. Currently at 1000mv @ 1200mhz and testing.
edit: 900mv was fine, 850mv was instant crash. Going to settle for 925mhz.
Now to continue testing the other frequencies.

Those additional shortcuts (eg. to bookmarks) in quick controls in the browser, are they part of 4.0.3 update? I've only got three icons there with 4.0.1 official.
Overall, I'm very impressed, never thought that such heavy sites can run so smoothly. +1'd on YouTube

Quick controls is the feature you activate in your browser. Just go to settings, the last option there is the Labs. Go there and you'll find two "experimental" features, quick controls and full screen. Both are pretty decent. With quick controls you just touch the edge of the screen anywhere on the left side or right side and they'll show up giving you quick shortcuts to settings, tabs and to the address bar.

Follow the forum guides to install CWM on your device and then flash the ROM+Kernel to update. Make sure you download the GSM version and you will be fine.

How do you sort them? I check the HR filter, and most are 1080x1200 which makes total sense, but I want atleast 1440x1280, higher than that is cropable.
Nice one! Great photos!

Yeah it's 720x1280 but because you are using a scrollable wallpaper it has to be 1440x1280. HOWEVER because of the softkeys at the bottom the effective screen size is only 1190'ish so wallpapers that are 1200 in height look uber crisp!

I wonder if I should crop some specifically for this size? Ehh, I guess the 1440 x 1280 work just as well.
I've added dozens and dozens more. Let me know if there is anything specific you are looking for...
Nice wallpapers good job.
those are very very good. they work well on my evo. next step, try on my xoom
as far as suggestions, i like the ones you have of maldives/thailand type places.
ie this.

Thanks. Gotta hunt/make some more soon. Work has been brutal.
Added a few more the past few days.
Hey guys, I was watching some videos on how to lower the resolution of the Nexus 6, and I wanted to try it out on my Xperia S.
It worked pretty well so I thought of making a little tutorial for anyone who wants to try this out. It gives better performance since the CPU/GPU needn't to process all the pixels, this doesn't change battery drain since the pixels are still there. I'm on nAOSP 5.1.1 at the moment, so you'll have to test and tell me if it works on other ROMs also (which it should). So let's start:
1. First of all you'll need to do a backup so you'll be safe if something goes wrong.
2. Install and run Terminal Emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en)
We will enter 4 simple commands that will change our resolution to 540x960 and dpi to 240, so here we go:
su
wm size 540x960
wm density 240
stop && start
3. I've noticed that the bootanimation may be broken so here is one that is scaled correctly (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BySc77H7gPOLLVhvZm0yNDlFbE0/view?usp=sharing)
Copy/paste the bootanimation.zip in system/media
If you want to revert the changes here are the native resolution and DPI of the Xperia S:
-res is 720x1280
-DPI is 320
That is all, you can use an app like Display Tester from the Play Store to check your resault.
Enjoy, and don't hesitate to ask questions
Can it make any problem?

Well, my device feels a lot more snappy than before. I'm running underclocked at 1404mhz and still I managed to get 14xxx score on Antutu.

It doesn't mess up apps, honestly the only thing I found messed up was the bootanimation, and the on/off swtiches over the UI
And i tried again 'Resource Changer' app, and it's working now very well, only need a restart after changing the value

Did you reboot at the end? What looks abnormal? I honestly can't find a thing wrong on my side, everything looks the same.
Text and icons become blurry. I would not expect else, since at 540x960 no exact scaling can be performed. I tried 360x640 for 1:2 scaling, but it's too low resolution for a crisp image. The phone is not any smoother than before. Most games offer resolution change to boost performance, so the above exercise is practically a waste of time.
