Newbish question about Lockscreen

Aryk88 · July 10th, 2011, 11:46 PM

One reason im switching to android is that im starting to love live wallpapers...
and ive wondered, do live wallpapers show in lockscreen too? (SGS2/Touchwiz 4.0 to be precise) since as far as ive seen in videos i have only seen them in menu, and if not, is there an app for it?

PD: do LWPs drain alot of battery life too?

Thanks, would really love this little detail clarification.

Hope you forgive my confusing english please.

On tw4 with sgs2 they have disabled live wallpaper on lock screen. I use widget locker, and that allows it as well as a load of other added features.

Doesnt that app drain alot of battery? ive heard alot of people complain about it i think.

The only changes i would do to this phone once i get it is to put some LWPs on the background as much with the homescreen as lockscreen, would that really drain so much of my battery to not even having it able to last 1 day?

The S2's battery life is not great either way. I find that it is okay with widget locker running. The benefits of widget locker outweighs the battery usage issue.

I noticed no change to battery life since using it. about 14 hours without, and about 14 hours with so may as well have it
