liquid 0.6-1

Funny graphic editor. Liquid is a funny graphic editor, in which control of brush is implemented by accelerometer or touchscreen. In our graphic editor there are realized basic drawing tools (brush, eraser, color tool) and additional (ice - local blur effect). Switching beetween accelerometer/touchscreen mode is implemented by shaking device on Z axis, also you can clear a screen by shaking on X axis and implement full screen blur by shaking on Y axis. To draw in accelerometer mode you must touch a screen in right bottom corner. And to change brush size you must touch a brush and wait for some time, then popup menu will appear.

  • better power managenent when app is in the task-switcher.
  • The Save dialog always shows '/' root folder. Saving there fails but no error displayed. Need to change it to MyDocs the first time. It would be nice if the defaut were MyDocs.
  • Please optify. Every bit counts :) Check these links for info on optification: Link ,1. and Link 2

Andreas Anckar, thx for your comments. We will try to make help with screenshots in application. About CPU Usage ~100%, may be it was because of stub. When i was testing app it was using near 40% of CPU with accelerometer mode.

Thanks Andreas, I did not push the corner! Somehow I missed that. So the app is fine for me, but optification would make it even better.

In 0.6 was activated stub for accelerometer (generate random coords). Data from stub and real sensor were recieved together. In 0.6.1 I disable stub, but drawing in accelerometer mode must work in 0.6 version too. Are you touch screen in right-bottom corner to activate drawing in accelerometer mode?

Harald, did you try pressing the lower-right corner of the screen?

My comments: - the instructions how to use the app should be presented in the app itself (now one is required to read this page). - not every one is familiar with the axes in a cartesian coordinate system, so perhaps a better description (picture?) of how to shake the phone could be useful. - shaking to clear screen could be done by mistake, a confirmation dialog or undo possibility could prevent this. - perhaps include a warning that the app is very CPU intensive (100% at 600mhz) when the accelerometer is used? - lastly, the package could be optified (~300kb in rootfs)

Still, a nice idea which allows for some stylish drawings. Thank you!

It does not paint anything when accelerometer is enabled.
