Just thought I'd share this neat lil find with the community
This is a live wallpaper similar to the playstation 3 menu screen. With the waves. Has a few settings that add textures and multiple colours n best thing is it's free.
https://market.android.com/details?id=crazyzenlab.wavelivewallpaper.lite
It's like a cross between the PSP and PS3 one (i think)
The PSP one is more solid color like.
The PS3 one is more translucent and glass like.
But I'm working off memory, havnt touched my PSP/PS3 in a while (cant install android on them, well mabye some day on the psp with android/mips)
Wait, why does a LWP need course location access and full internet? They trying to track you down?
No idea prolly 3rd party bs. I just use droidwall n block most apps that don't need the net
The paid version has more features like making it auto change colors and lets u control the textures/speed and shake to change sorry if most this is also in the lite version. I paid the $1

Ok, for anyone out there that owns a PS3, you know what I'm talking about. You know how with the XMB on the PS3 it has a main icon and when you pick that icon, say video, everything under video is somewhat visible in a drop-down list? Would it be able to create an XMB style scrollable menu with icons such as "social" and all of your social networking apps be listed in a drop-down type menu? All of this without leaving your home screens. If this is a totally ridiculous idea, I understand. Just thought it would be neat.
Edit- Well, pushing 100 views and still nothing? Guess no one's interested. Mods can lock or delete to free up space if you feel the need to.
it would be great if there xmb menu for android.
That would look cool on my Xperia PLAY , but I think sadly there is no one who wants to take up to make a XMB menu as it looks kinda tough to develop, Even I myself can't do it sadly . Hoping a kind soul would help you on this and make this possible.
Cheers,

I'm fairly new to the android seen with not much knowledge in this area at all i think the last time I played with a phone was a SE w810i when i flashed it :L, however i played a lot with a couple of iPod touches, jailbreaking them modding them etc.
So, i have no intentions of doing this whole ROOT thing to my phone YET but i will be when i have gotten used to the phone and explorered android enough to feel ok to ROOT it and explore and exploit my phone to my liking.
I do realise I could have took a smarter option when it came to buying an android but I always love SE phones so a combo of the two has me well chuffed....
so i'm just wondering
app wise
game wise
theme wise
accessory wise
I love them small addictive flash games like doodle jump, angry birds, i love my phones theme looking good/beautiful/awesome.
I love having lot's of wallpapers, abstract, carbon, matte and black mostly,
I love my music and SE's range of accessories
I love all those HTC widgets and the desire so any widgets that resemble them as much as possible would be much appreciated, for I.e. pre patched fancy widget that mimmicks the exact copy of HTC's weather widget clock, i have launcher pro plus for the messages, facebook and contact widgets, but are there others that mimmick HTC's interface almost exactly?
I love messing about with the cool camera effect apps
also what browser do you use on your android or Xperia?
You should find some extra info on http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Xperia_X10_Mini
Things I find very cool: Alarmdroid, led light, swiftp, terminal, busybox, sshd, original calendar, skype, gtalk.
Well done on your purchase, you already made the best first step by coming to XDA heaps of friendly helpful people on here.
I like "Beautiful Widgets" Clock and Weather widgets... you can download heaps of different Clocks and Weather icons.. (including HTC Sense style clocks)
Vignette is the best Image effects program I have found (funky old camera effects and frames)
Smartkeyboard Pro is a pretty good text input option
Z4root for rooting (really simple one click application to gain root) when your ready for that.. go on! don't be scared!
then.. Titanium Backup, Root explorer.. etc
You have already discovered Launcher Pro, thats a good step.. not as easy to theme as ADW Launcher but still the Home screen of choice by most people because of its speed and Battery usage. (I use Launcher Pro plus too)
The Music player on the X10mini/pro is a bit crap.. there are some good ones out there, I use Meridian but Cube (3) is also pretty cool, I am sure there are others if you look around.
And a few good games..
Angry Birds (of course)
Abduction
Fruit Ninja
Monkey Kick (simple but fun)
2 player Reactor is great if you want to play with your partner or friends when your bored.
too many to list but thats a start for you..
Hope that helps and welcome to the X10mini/pro threads! happy reading/playing.
Hello ALL!
I am new to the site and had recently checked out Charlos_OOO and HBK19's threads on making your home screens look like xbox dashboard(BIG KUDOS GUYS IT'S AWESOME) so anyway i set my own version up. Then i had an idea to really mirror xbox dashboard by putting small maybe 2x3 or so widgets that looped a video clip of a game trailer or movie or something just to really give it that dashboard feel. I was amazed to find no widget apps that did this...well there are some but they don't stick to a particular home screen, instead they "float" and are visable with every homescreen you go on even while in the web (they sorta stay in the foreground per say). So i decide to dabble in creating my own widget..unfortunately app widget classes for video don't seem to exist when ever i try to make a video type widget it only comes out as a sorta of video player that floats but does not stick to the home screen lol if it even does that... anyway any thought from anyone on this? i did check the forums i see other people have asked similar questions but to no avail. any feed back would be much appreciated:fingers-crossed: it would be icing on the cake to really make your home screen look like Xbox Dashboard.
So here is the idea, a X-Cross Media Bar (XMB) style interface launcher that can be used on android devices, phones or tablets, but I plan on using it on my N7 since I use a Bluetooth keyboard I use for remote desktop and chrome and a pc xbox controller for games from time to time I have been trying to figure out how to make a decent android home screen that interacts like the XMB controls wise but have come up short.
I have found quite a few threads and other pages for stuff like this that has moved nowhere in the past and was hoping you guys might be able to get something in some sort of solution to my desire for a clean interactive interface. The closest thing i have, thanks to one of my friends who first came up with the idea but I have obsessively been trying to find a way to perfect, is using Nova launcher with folders set to tap to open a set app and swipe up to open the folder and a custom icon based off a PS3 theme pack I took the images from all arranged in an XMB style (picture linked) with the Wave Life Wallpaper to give it that PSP/PS3 look.
Basically all I want is an interface that interacts like the XMB, can be controlled either with directional buttons or by swiping across the screen (or tapping the icon of what you want if possible). But the big kicker here is that it has to support each column set acting as a customizable folder, like in Nova, and a standard app drawer where you can see all your apps. I don't even care if this requires xposed, a different launcher, and widgets, I want it and have done everything short of trying to code it myself. (probably not a good idea, I'm a network guy, not a good programmer)
All the pages I have come across in search of the pot of gold:

The second to last one was a launcher somebody made, and believe it or not runs on 5.0.2, but has some issues and does not really let you change anything. The last Link is an actually functional one but does not allow for much customization.
What I am thinking of is more of a launcher that allows you to create columns for certain things and select which apps fill them like a folder does, allows you to have whatever wallpaper (static, scrolling, live) and has customization options. If somebody out there can program this and get it working I would pay for it. It just seems like such a usable interface for when using a controller, keyboard, or even on a touchscreen as a way different way to have everything organised. Although a standard app drawer would still be nice to avoid having every app in a column and just the ones you frequently use (I basically want an XMB in place of multiple desktops on the home screen)
Just let me know if anybody can help me figure this out.
has anyone gotten LIVE WALLPAPERS to work on a SHIELD TV (2015,2017,2019 build8.2+)?
waste of cpu/gpu time.
ok, so not many enjoy it, or consider it a waste.
i was just curious, if its possible. i really only want the RADAR LIVE WALLPAPER, as its light on memory, and its nice to have a constant radar map up. (storms can be quite rough, so radar is helpful) is it possible to re-enable this , as i know the older builds had the option.
note: the RADAR LIVE WALLPAPER is a free app in the play store. ( this is also nice to have as a wallpaper, as its much faster to glance at a screen or tablet, than load a website for a live image- granted its not as high quality, it still helps one prepare for work when your job can be drastically altered by storms)
