What is your favorite live walllpaper?

[Devz]

I spent an hour on appbrain searching for the mario live wallpaper. Did they take it down?

 

[Legato]

Just searched app brain and market...looks like it was pulled. Wonder if Nintendo saw how popular it was and wanted a cut from it

I used stars, but now that ive seen what a waste/processor hog/battery drain they are I use a normal wallpaper.

When I had me Dinc it listed live wallpaper as one of the items in the "what used your battery" display and it was only 1 to 2%. That may be too much for some and I have seen bad ones that take more power put a good one isn't too bad on power drain.

I like the aquarium wallpaper. I put my X in the Multimedia dock and page to a completely unused home screen and it looks like a little fish tank on my desk.

Anyone with aCircuit? How's it doing on the battery?

I have it but only ran it briefly. As far as not killing the battery. City at night seems low use if you set the traffic, and clouds to slow. Starfield also seems to be light on the battery, if you set it slow as well. I guess the more items, and more speed you set the moving items to, the more drain.

Trying it now. Looks like you can stop/start the fan by double tapping. And you can control the brightness as well. The dev says these settings will save battery. Trying it now with low brightness, and the fan off. I will report back on battery use.

I'm totally digging on the Aquarium Live Wallpaper. You can tap the screen to drop food in at the top of the tank and the fish will swim up and eat it.

Just tried out the City At Night one and it's nice. However, I don't like it stretched out between all of my homescreens. On my main screen, for example, I can't see the streaking car lights. I disabled wallpaper scrolling but all that does is keep the wallpaper static in the background - it doesn't resize it so I can see the entire background. Is there a way to do this, or is this just the way the wp was designed? I noticed some of my live wallpapers only just up one screen and others use multiple.

If you don't see your live wallpaper showing up on your battery monitor, does it mean that it took up less than one percent of the power?

None ever show up on mine either. Is that a bug or less than one percent?

It is a flaw with the droid x. Most apps do not show on battery usage.

The Live Wallpaper was made for scrolling backgrounds, your going to miss out on a lot of cool things by disabling that.

I'm not rooted and I have both the driod red eye & city at night installed on mine. U wanna know the best thing about it......they were both free!!!!

Where is the free version of city at night?

 

[mikepic]

Personally I LOVE landscapes and sky pics/wallpapers.

Silhouette Donation is the one I currently use. I use beautiful widgets with it (small) with no background and the weather picture looks great along with the live wallpaper.

Don't have SDK on my phone so I can't upload a screenshot but I implore anyone who likes as sky scene to check it out.

There is a free version that doesn't allow you to tamper with the settings too.

When I get at home I'll email it to you. I'm at jury duty. I'll just send the file itself.

I like this one as well I stopped using it when my phone seemed to stutter (scrolling in app list, moving between home screens) a lot more with it on.

I've since gone to Launcher Pro Plus, maybe I should try it again.

Metal Slug Zombies - lets you blast the zombies if you want and play a mini game where you don't let them reach the other side of the screen. XD Has many options for amount of zombies and planes that bomb them and such. Fun wallpaper

Nexus Revamped Pro...just gorgeous. Simplistic yet cool. Free version is great, pro costs money but gives you tons of customization. Just 4 different colored lines streaking across the screen. Can choose how many lines, how fast, how long tails are, and tons of stuff

Where did you download the Metal Slug Zombies one i searched for it in the market and i couldn't find it.

I'm running the stock launcher and I don't have much issue scrolling through the home pages. I do notice that there is some lag when scrolling through the app drawer. Though it seems to go away after scrolling through to the bottom one time. I also notice lag when undocking from the car dock and multimedia dock. The aquarium wallpaper comes right up but it seems like it takes ten or 15 seconds for all the widgets to appear.

All in all it's worth it to me. Well for now anyway... I'll probably get bored with it soon enough.

I got it from the market, search for "MS Zombie" it is by USCCoder.

here is a link to it on Androlib

that is ver 1.3, it is up to 1.4 now.

edit: looks like most sites say it was pulled from the market. Must be because of copywrites

edit 2: yeah, looks to be pulled down. I have the .APK saved on my SD card now though thanks to Root Manager. Hit me up with an email at JCIAMPI at GMAIL dot COM and i will forward you the file.

edit 3: i can do this for hte Super Mario Wall paper if anyone wants that too. Just mention what wall paper you want in the email

I'm excited to try the City at Night one - thanks for this thread.

I also like showing Mario and Aquarium to friends.

My addition - don't think I saw this earlier: Live Weather
I still like how Grass changes with the time of day. If you have Beautiful Weather, Live Weather Wallpaper does a nice job of combing the two.

Bought the aquarium one today. XD LOVE IT! Getting a turtle and shark. XD WIN
