MA for Android as a Live Wallpaper
 
I have been a big fan for many years and just recently got an android smart phone. I am wondering if there has been any discussion of creating a live wallpaper for the android phone and tablets.
Thanks so much for all the hard work you have done.

Jim Sachs 06-29-2011 12:04 AM

Nope, no discussion of that.

By that, Jim means "There WILL BE NO discussion of that."

This is a feature several people including myself have requested for the PC version. I'd even be glad to pay in full for a new version with this feature.

However, Jim feels very strongly about not allowing the aquarium to be used this way. His ball, his rules.

If you want a similar product and your Android phone is capable of running Live Wallpapers properly and has a good GPU (unlike HTC's Wildfire).

KittehFace Software on the Android Market has released a very good alternative. And it's only £0.62!

I have used that one and bought it as well. It's not bad, but.................

I still wish someone would port MA over.

I agree, why should the iPhone/iPad get all the glory.....

Jim Sachs 07-07-2011 07:53 PM

Because there's no Android equivalent of Jim O'Connor :)

peter_f 09-26-2012 06:04 AM

Just wondering if this is an official version or has someone ripped you off?

I haven't installed it so I don't know how well it works.

Jim Sachs 09-26-2012 09:20 AM

Ripped off. But an official Android version is now in the works, through a Japanese company.

Don't worry Jim your safe! Luckily for you, the guy is a numpty and is using an animated GIF of 20Mb (even at 20Mb it's awful rubbish quality) and runs like a dog.

Can't wait to see an Android version.

Jim Sachs 09-26-2012 11:59 AM

I've alerted Prolific to the transgression. Copyright laws even apply to numpties :)
(That's a new term for me, and I plan to try to use it at least once a day.)

patscarr 09-26-2012 12:50 PM

Is that a combination of knuckle head and humpty dumpty? :)

jimkraz 09-27-2012 01:56 PM

Try eedjit,

An term for a complete idiot used in Ireland and Scotland

"Paddy you eejit!"

"Don't touch that! Look what you've done now you eejit!"

"George W Bush, what an eejit!"

dwax 10-02-2012 01:23 AM

Kind of laggy anyway. Might work on a computer but my Toshiba Excite with a 1.4 processor was pretty slow.Can say delete. LOL

Edit:
And it installs addware on my tab too!http://www.getsmile.com/emoticons/fu...129/angry8.gif

A better one would be.

Get ready for another round of requests for this feature. ;)

Of course, Aquarium Live Wallpaper from Kittehface Software is close to Jim's but not as good.

Jim Sachs 12-28-2012 09:39 AM

Coming soon.

To SereneScreen Aquarium for the PC?

Jim Sachs 12-28-2012 11:29 AM

No, to Android. It's in final testing now.

Jav400 12-28-2012 12:45 PM

That will be nice. I will be more than happy to give it a go on my android phone. :)

Jim Sachs 12-28-2012 12:51 PM

Yes, let me know how it looks. I don't know anyone with Android devices, so I've never seen it.

I'll be first in line to buy it. I like aquarium live wallpapers, they are great at releasing stress and look really impressive when shown to an iPhone owner! :-P

That makes two of us :cool:

I'll buy it for my Razr Maxx if there is a android phone version.

Jim Sachs 12-30-2012 05:04 PM

There will be.

Is this available anyplace yet?.. Santa brought a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 that I would like to try it on.

Jim Sachs 12-30-2012 09:25 PM

Any day now. It's in final testing in Japan.

Nicki 12-30-2012 09:33 PM

I'm hoping it will run on my Samsung Galaxy Q. Sim Aquarium 3 runs on it just fine so probably. It has Android 2.3 Gingerbread which apparently is the most prevalent OS out there. My brother is going to buy an iPad 4 tomorrow and I look forward to irritating him with the advantages Android devices have over Apple. If I were Bugs Bunny I would say "Ain't I a stinker?".

ESHIREY 12-31-2012 05:36 PM

I can't wait.

F34R 01-04-2013 09:59 PM

I'll get it for my wife... I'd love to see an iOS app. ;)

If only iOS did Live Wallpapers!

Time Crystal Pilot 01-05-2013 12:41 PM

I don't own any of these devices, but when I recently played around with an iPad mini I noticed that Safari halted the website's animations while I was scrolling down the page. Apparently, Apple tries to make sure that all the processing power goes into smooth scrolling, zooming and the impression of immediate responsiveness that's necessary to provide a touchscreen interface with that natural feel.
An aquarium live wallpaper that freezes whenever you wipe the screen for the next page of icons doesn't look real and thus might lose some of its appeal.

Nicki 01-05-2013 07:48 PM

Well in a rather embarrassing about face I have to say that I am quite impressed by the iPad 4. I'm still not sure that I would ever need something like that myself but if I did I would consider it just because of the screen. It's also not that difficult to use. It works a lot like my phone in most ways. There are a few things my phone can do (that the iPad can probably do too once we figure it all out) like accessing the home network and playing media files from the network drive. I hate to be the one to say it, but MA3 would look fantastic on the iPad 4.

feldon34 01-06-2013 07:33 AM

An aquarium wallpaper would probably cut the iPad's battery life from 10 hours to about 1 hour.

Yellow Tang 01-07-2013 04:41 AM

Just to make this clear, v2.6 is already available for iOS, as an app, it's $1.99.

MA 3.2 for Android is now on Google Play:

drfish 01-07-2013 09:54 AM

Awesome! I hope it sells well - I'll point a few people to it.

Jav400 01-07-2013 10:02 AM

Starting to test now. I am going with the free version first to see if that works ok, and then will purchase the full version to check the differences.

Jav400 01-07-2013 12:18 PM

The free version doesn't seem to have any options for accessing any settings, at least if it does I haven't figured it out yet, and it won't let you store it on the sd card instead of using phone space, which isn't that great as it uses up limited phone storage space.

My current phone is an old Galaxy 1 running android 2.3.4, and it installed and runs ok, all be it a little slow because of the age on this phone. I will let it run for a few days and see how it effects the battery usage.

jimkraz 01-07-2013 01:52 PM

I am trying out on Acer A200 Tab, runs quite nice, I am awaiting delivery of a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" with quad core processor and 2gig of ram, we'll see how it run on that, I will buy full version when new tab arrives. Jim
