New app in mind: A screensaver daemon.

[dedraks]

I'm thinking in make a new app. A screensaver daemon.
The user run it and no window will apears. But when the flip is closed, the backlight will be turned on and the configured screensaver will apears.
The screensaver can be a single picture, a list of pictures to act as a slideshow or a clock.

First of all: dedraks, I think the option "No, I don't want this useless app" is a bit too harsh...

For me, I don't care... I won't use it, but there are people over there that will use and love it But remember not to mess up with the functions of the closed flip!

well dedraks, that would be nice, but what for?... honest when i dont use the device why would I want a SS running if noone is gona look at it... maybe if you could instead make a animated wallpaper... the same principle but backwards (open the flip and the wallpaper is animated)... just my 2 cents

Wow man, reading the posts... they kill u xD hahahahha.

Im thinking about it... on one hand i should never use it for real, but with friends or working u can put it there just cose bored... if its really hard to do forget it.

In my opinion u should try to improve the CLOCK app u made, cose its really usefull and with ravefolk as designer in the forum, u guys can make the best design app for the Ming Good luck

Take care ded

I felt like i should thank you for your continuous efforts to make new and better software for our phones!

I like the idea of a screensaver that will also function as a clock. It becomes annoying to have to press the button everytime i want to see the time. My a1200 lasted for over 3 hours playing divx movies using zmplayer, so i'm not too concerned about the screensaver significantly cutting the battery life.

Heu Dedraks. Good idea but it would be better to have an animated wallpaper like in Sony Ericsson. What do you think about that? Could you do that?

[djfabinhods]

hey ded, good idea, but the super clock is very best (when works in mine fw ), is more useful.

I find that it would be good for mixing the 2 app´s (if possible).

thus the screen would not be "tired" to be much time in the clock.

but I vote yes, when not to want to remember to me the hours.

The EZX phones put the processor into deep sleep mode after some seconds of flip closed (or inactivity). This is the only reason why you get battery life over 6 hours.

If you keep the PXA running, even with the backlight turned off, i doubt if your battery would last for more than 12 hours.

PXA is a power hungry processor, normaly it is not used on phones, Motorola used it, and it is only viable because it is almost always on deep sleep mode.

As for your app, well.. Its pretty to have an animated screen saver, but you should try to save battery, and disable it after 30 seconds or so.. The animated wallpaper idea also seems nice. Having an always running screen saver is definetely not a good idea.

Hey dedraks a new challenge for you...

VIDEO-RINGTONES!!! can you make an app that allow ppl assign a video when in coming calls?

@dedraks,
you also can try to use E680/i ' clocker it's not a screensaver but it should be nice to apply it on A1200

it's an idea...
