[Live Wallpaper] PanoPlanet

[Jfreu]

Hello there,

I introduce you my live wallpaper (users say it's the best out there)
It's called PanoPlanet, currently at 0.99? ~ 1.29$, it uses a stereographic projection to display the panorama of your choice.
It accepts any equirectangular panorama in any resolution (i even tried 10000x5000 on my n1).



The stereographic projection is used to do the famous 'little planet' effect (also called 'wee planet' - google it you'll see what they look like)

Several interaction modes are available :

• Orientation : synch the orientation of the panorama with the orientation of you phone
• Touch : drag the panorama with your finger
• Screen slides : slides the panorama when you slide the desktop screens

Check out the test video to see it in action :

I'm not normally much of a Live Wallpaper kind of guy, but I can't wait to try this one. That video looks really cool!

PanoPlanet Live Wallpaper 1.4

New version available : v1.4
Some users want more images so i added a online browser to access my panorama selection on my server.

I also enabled app2sd because 2MB can be a lot on the phone memory.

Is this an Incredible friendly version?

Very cool and interesting concept for a live wallpaper. I love it.

Would be interested to hear from someone who has been using this what the impact on battery life is. My screen shuts off after a minute, but would think a screen left on with this wallpaper would eat through the battery at a pretty good clip.

Not in the app market

I am interested in installing but the app does not show on the marketplace.
The code link does not show an app in the marketplace nor a manual search.
what should I do?

I just searched the Marketplace for "panoplanet" and it came up.

I'd like to know also, before I shell out some cash for it...

I have this installed and its awesome. I Think it sucked the life out of my battery though. When i checked the Battery useage it said 93% hahaha..WOW..Thats on my EVO 4g.

Slows doooooown your home screen switchin'. Oh well, it's only $2, and it's still fun to play with every once in a while.

It does have "performance" type settings though, at the cost of how pretty it is.
