EveLiveWallpaper is an >=Android 2.1 Wallpaper application, that displays a spinning spaceship from EVE on your Android homescreen.

This is a follow up from my posts in the old forum: [Android EveLiveWallpaper] and [Android EveLiveWallpaper - First steps...].

Status:
After rewriting the application for OpenGL ES 2.0 support, I now added per-pixel tangent space normal mapping support as well as specular mapping in v1.3.0. I still haven't found the (faction) color definition for the paint maps in the EVE resources, so any hints welcome.

Downloads:
Installer - [EveLiveWallpaper.apk v1.3.0 (4)]
QR Code with URL to APK - [EveLiveWallpaperQR.png]
Screenshots - [Prophecy model & Settings] [Nightmare model] [Opux model] [Render quality]

Note:
This version will show 2 days after every startup a notification to donate some ISK. If you keep it running, you should see this only once.

Release Notes:
[15.02.2012] EveLiveWallpaper v1.3.0 (4) - Added normal and specular mapping support; Reworked settings menu; Upgrade to latest SDK and NDK and fixed all lint warnings
[15.12.2011] EveLiveWallpaper v1.2.0 (3) - Added OpenGL ES 2.0 support; New smaller file format for model data using vertex buffer objects with index table; Added Opux model
[29.01.2011] EveLiveWallpaper v1.1.0 (2) - Improve About activity and prepare for localization
[26.01.2011] EveLiveWallpaper v1.0.0 (1) - Initial Release

This is pretty cool, man. Cheers for that.

However, on first run I got a couple FCs. Running Android 4.0.3 on a Nexus S i9023.

Indeed, this is pretty cool!

Works fine on my Droid X running Android 2.3.3

I'd like to see a recreation of the previous login screen that CCP had. A station in the background, and a ship flying up close, turrets popping out and firing... and then flying off. :)

Love it. Great LWP. I'd toss 1$ your way with out thinking if you put this up on android market. Especially if you added more hulls!

Posted on main because I'm not a coward like the rest of you.

Hi!

@All:
I just uploaded v1.3.0, i hope it works for everybody.

Is there anybody out there with a device still running Android 2.1? I might have broken OpenGL ES 1.1 compatibility, but i need a volunteer to confirm. Please message me!

Btw. I know i have no really nice Minmatar ships, but they have transparency and a lot of lights and without support to render that they look terrible, hence i haven't added any yet. Things anyhow become more and more complicated with the new paint maps and tons of parameters in the *.red files. Reverse engineering that is a bit of a challenge Blink.

@JeanMichel Bizarre:
I hope the new version works for you.

@Wukulo:
Android Market registration is 25$, and i would probably get tons of complaints that it does not run on device XYZ running custom rom ABC. So i haven't done it yet. However i would not say no to whatever you think is 1$ in ISK though Big smile.

Bests,
Andares Sol
