Live Wallpaper is

[n0m0n]

I noticed a site that spoke about Live Wallpaper.
I have searched the Market Place and h ave not been able to find an app or anything in respect to this.

Can anyone shed any light on what it is where I can get it?

Thanks

Live Wallpapers are a part of the 2.1 Android OS, and as far as I know are not possible with anything below 2.1 (2.0.1, 2.0, etc).

I have to say these live wallpapers are slick I hope more come out soon.

yea, i am however hoping they clean up the code and minimize the battery use a little more, a 3% drain (for a day) is kind of high...

 

[mclarryjr]

Just noticed the battery drain after a couple of hours it went down 10% which was a little higher then normal.

performance/battery can always be improved, but it's not too bad. While it's clearly just some sweet visuals, they are indeed SWEET. I'm running the smoke wallpaper, black and gray color scheme, looks amazing, almost like clouds rolling through the night sky. And my main home screen has the older style beautiful widgets clock which looks really cool against this color scheme. I dig.

 

[Adiliyo]

i agree that it's not terrible, but there's always room for improvement!

But where do we find these

 

[dagostin]

you find these on the 2.1 custom rom

Man I said I would wait but you guys are making it hard.

 

[Adiliyo]

the live wallpapers are what finally got me to make the leap.

mostly glad i did, you will definitely trade some stability for coolness though (with 2.1 in general), but i felt it was worth it.

its not that hard to do the update just takes a little time. If you follow the directions you shouldn't have any problem and I'll watch the forums if you need help.

i thought you were already on my list?

but these are the directions i followed, really easy (with pictures!) and provided you make the backup before moving on to the flash step, you shouldn't be able to easily brick your phone.

today my phone has been giving me some grief with the launcher FC a lot and some freezing/reboot issues....

Live wallpapers look great. any word on if they cause any slowdown? I just feel like these would cause lag like crazy.

 

[Adiliyo]

no slowdown, just a little higher battery usage than i would really like. but that's what optimization is for right?

 

[Sooks]

Got it ! , and i left the droid for a while and i lost all my contacts , man i love it ! , but i really wish i could get the nexus one working thats the main animated wallpaper i wanted

 

[Roy Aguilera]

Should work on the official.

 

[Sooks]

ugh , after 10 min of use , its fast , but i get a lot of random ass crashes ..... then it reboots my phone ... ugh anyone else getting this , also , why is the new boot up an android pissing on an apple lol ? i thought it was supposed to be the nexus boot ?

Don't give in to the dark side....To many bugs, but it is tempting for sure.
