- Bug Fix: Error when switching characters
- Update: Misc performance improvements
Been a while since we updated this one! A user reported an issue with switching characters, and as a side-effect I ported it to our updated framework. This generally gives something of a performance boost, so you should find things a bit snappier in general.

Koi Live Wallpaper v1.2
- Update: Four new fish!
Been sitting on this one a few days but have been rather busy with other projects, so sorry for the delay there. Basically, we have a few new Koi breeds represented! You'll find them at the end of the list. :)

NFL Live Wallpaper
This has actually been out for a week or two now, but I wanted to mention that we did the development work on the NFL Live Wallpaper listed by Cellfish Media. It's quite pretty and has artwork available for all the NFL teams.
Some of the development work on this project included implementation of proper tangent generation for normal mapping, which should be useful in the future. :)

Koi Live Wallpaper v1.15
- Update: Nine fish at once
- Update: HowTo window has a tooltip!
Next update will hopefully have more fish textures, but for now I've been informed that apparently nine koi is lucky, so I bumped up the number of simultaneous ones you can have! Enjoy!
The second one is a nicety that I'm putting into all our products -- when you use the HowTo window via the Marketplace 'open' button, it will float a tooltip instructing you what to do when you shortcut to the live wallpaper picker. Small but I feel like it's more professional.

Galactic Core Live Wallpaper v2.03
- Bug Fix: Crash with orientation sensor on 2.1 devices
The 2.0 update on Galactic Core has unfortunately been a bit of an odyssey, as we're run into problems on 2.1 phones way more than we ever have previously. Fortunately, I think this is the last major issue.
I still see a strange glitch with the color preferences on the 2.1 Galaxy S I have here, but it's harmless and I wanted to get this crash fix out there.

Galactic Core Live Wallpaper v2.02
- Bug Fix: Settings screen crash on 2.1 devices
So, one of the additions in the 2.0 version was a custom PreferenceColor that has a visible color swatch. This is technically the first product we pushed out using that, and everything largely seemed fine... until I started getting a bunch of e-mail from Sony XPeria X8 users saying they get a crash when they push the settings button.
This worked on every device we tried it on, so that was really confusing. Eventually I asked a few of the customers to send over a log file using aLogCat, and sure enough saw the same callstack in each one that arrived: a crash in setColorFilter.
Ultimately this made a lot of sense -- while we build against the 2.3.4 SDK, we allow our products to run on anything as low as 2.1. The particular setColorFilter I was using didn't get introduced until Android 2.2, and I hadn't tested the preference listing on a 2.1 device (only the rendering), so didn't notice the problem. The solution is simply to use an alternate setColorFilter that did exist in earlier SDK versions.
Sorry about that folks, lesson learned. I may go pick up an X8 or Zio so we have another 2.1 device around, most of our test phones have ended up being updated to at least 2.2 over time.
