GregBUG, I am still waiting for HTC to roll out the update to 4.0.. my phone is supposedly on the list to receive ice cream sandwhich. How do you find 4.0? Good/Bad?

GregBUG

@b83dev

I see that everything is so smooth on the device. I'd be willing to read about more benchmark tests

@GregBug - Just ran both your demos on my ZTE Blade (600mhz, ARMv6, Android 2.2) both seemed to run smoothly, no text on screen so I can't report frame rates or anything, but a nice effect.

(also FWIW - I'd be happy to throw in a donation if you decide to release the software, it'd sure save me a lot of time).

BTW - Prefer the effect in 4 rather than 5 - that would make a nice live wallpaper. Is it possible to make Android live wallpapers in Gideros ???

(sorry for double posting, I originally posted this on the thread for the TNT Particle Engine page - D'oh!)

Is it possible to make Android live wallpapers in Gideros

To tell the truth, we haven't thought of this before. I don't know the exact answer but most probably you cannot.

Scouser

Having just had a quick look at how a project is put together with the activity classes, the player classes and the java native bridge it would be impossible to make a live wallpaper as it stands. A rewrite of the core com.giderosmobile java classes to implement a wallpaper service would be required.

atilim

thank you Also I don't know if OpenGL is allowed in live wallpaper applications?

Scouser

It is yes, something like this http://bit.ly/xb5zm9 is probably just what you need, with this http://bit.ly/yrg8Z3 if you want to implement it using OpenGL ES 2.0.

atilim

let me look at it. thanks again.

kontinyu

let me look at it. thanks again.

Any news on that?
I didn't wanted to create another topic. But i think it would be great to be able to use live wallpapers.
