Not anything new, but this wallpaper is perfect on the Vibrant:

Anyone got other LW suggestions?
live circuit board is a pay for live wallpaper and not that great
I posted a thread the other day "shake em all" is awesome. A bit buggy but very cool.

Does anyone have the apks for the stock vibrant "water" live paper, that's the one with the falling leaves and the "grass" lwp. I have searched and found zips that don't have those, and a stock lwps apk that has all the stock ones but force closes when I choose any of the stock papers it contains.
Is your phone Loki? Use Odin. You'll be Thor!
Im not sure if you folks all know this, but there's a couple versions of the circuit Live Wallpaper on the android market.
And guess what??? They are free!

Is it possible to port the widgets that come with motoblur?
The contact widgets are pretty handy. I assume that the widgets are tied to the launcher (like our TWiz widgets), so I imagine the whole launcher would have to be ported. If that is the case, I've attached the launcher apk for anyone capable of determining these things.
If at all possible to port widgets without the Droid X launcher, that would be even better.
This is one of the most annoying launchers on android. Scrolling in between home screens disables the app tray button, and you either have to swipe up on the screen or wait a few seconds to open the app tray. The widgets on the other hand are okay. The droid X's UI was poorly designed and makes the phone feel bigger and clunkier than it really is.

Agreed. The Blur UI also feels sluggish and clunky. It is probably the most hated custom andorid launcher out there.
OP. Unless your willing to pay a dev 100 bucks in advance, nobody is going to do this for u lol.
Touch Wiz is infinitely better. I would actually say TW is better than stock.

TW better than stock? Blasphemy!
I agree on all counts
TouchWiz is one of the best launchers. Launcher Pro is a close second. ADW/LP both don't have the same smoothness with all of the graphics at the highest level like TW does. They look awful compared to TW on default settings and choppy with it looking the same. I don't think you can get LP to display the same level of quality as ADW or TW.

Agreed. I didn't care for the TW launcher in all of the demos i saw of the vibrant, but it really grew on my once i actually used it. It's fast, looks nice, and has smooth animations. Sorry OP if I sounded upset in my first response. I also have the droid X (for work) and think it's one of the biggest dissapointments out there. Moto nailed the build quality and screen size, but they stopped there. Terrible contrast, colors, poor UI, feels slow, 2D stutters, etc. It upset me to see the droidX voted more desirable than the vibrant on gizmodo today. People are morons. Yet it benches higher than the Vibrant because it has faster write speeds. Lol.
Moved to the Q&A sub-forum.
I understand that it was a development request, but we still want to keep the development sub-forum for threads which actually have development in them. If this gets anywhere, I will move it back.
As far as the launcher itself... I don't like it, either.
I haven't tried adw on this phone....mainly because I don't care about themes. But I use launcherpro plus mostly instead of touchwiz. There are a few things I like better about tw but lpp's dock is so much cooler. I would never consider motoblur on this phone but that's just me.
ha, well let me rephrase my request since everyone seems to hate the blur launcher.
I primarily want the droid x/motoblur widgets, but I assume they are attached to the launcher, so I requested the whole launcher to be ported.
If it is possible to port the widgets without the launcher, then that would be better. OP edited.
I wonder if the launcher requires the moto framework. If so, then it would require a whole ROM port, unfortunately. Let's hope not.
I'm wondering if there are any qHD live wallpapers out there? It seems that all of them -and most "regular" wallpapers are WVGA....
So if we're stretching out WVGA wallpapers to fill a qHD screen, what's the point of having a qHD screen?
last *bump*
so nothing? Will I have to use WVGA live wallpapers on the qHD screen?
What I do is cut out the part I like or miniaturize a wallpaper that I like. Or use iPhone 4 wallpaper which is very similar in size only 100 pixel bigger.. Just an Idea..

All the Live wallpapers on the market are either not compatible with the Atrix (resolution? Tegra 2?) or are just stretched out WVGA wallpapers, making the point of owning a qHD screen a bit less meaningful...
Give it time... relatively new feature on phones so it should only be a matter of time till we see more qHD apps, wallpapers, etc.

That's the thing. With a locked bootloader, devs are shying away from it. There's very little reason to develop for it and not the Nexus S, whose apps will run on the vast majority of Androids in people's hands...
Some hope...
Finally, here's a live wallpaper which *MIGHT* be qHd... give it a try, and see whether your qHD wallpapers still have the same detail, or were converted to WVGA and stretched...

Not really sure you made a point related to the thread in that post. qHD is just the screen resolution. So a qHD live wallpaper would just be like any other live wallpaper, but in the qHD resolution. The atrix is not the only phone that is going to be running qHD. The bootloader isn't really giving us issues running apps or live wallpapers, as far as I know. We just can't run custom roms... and as long as we can't run custom roms, it doesn't matter whether those are in qHD or not.
So my point still stands... there will probably be some qHD live wallpapers produced, but the phones that can actually use them are just starting to come out. Give it time and we'll probably see a few pop up. Same with apps. The bootloader is not preventing either of those from being made and used on our phones.

Not to negate what you are trying to say but qHD also improves resolution for videos, web browsing, viewing photos, gameplay, etc. I would assume the issue will resolve itself as soon as more phones implement higher resolutions.
Is there a live wallpaper or other you'd like to see in qHD? I've been toying with making a live wallpaper, if you have an idea I can try it out

Oh well it would be nice to have ANY decent qHD water live wallpaper.... like Samsung's gorgeous "Oceans" livewallpaper showing a colorful seabed with coral reefs and an uber-realistic water physics effect...
...since it doesn't run on the Atrix..
Also, has anyone tried LG's Optimus 2x Live wallpapers (WVGA)?

Only the fireworks one works. I've tried all of them lol. All the rest are too small.
Another disappointment. Why can't they be like Samsung, and release live wallpapers that show off the power of the new chip in the phone?

Hi, first of all I love my SGS2, this is my 3rd android phone and I couldn't be happier. This phone is great. BUT... There's one thing that's bugging me. Every rom and kernel I've tried have the same problem. Lag. I'm NOT talking in games or the loading of applications, because this phone FLIES through those tasks. It's small areas where there shouldn't be the smallest amount of lag i.e. scrolling and the homescreen. I hope someone could shed some light on this for me. Everyone talks about how great this phone is and how there's absolutely no lag. Well have you used an iphone. Their like butter. We've got a phone that ****s power and they've got weak hardware in comparison. What gives?
Thanks for reading...
ive noticed if i have the phone plugged into a different charger, ( non oem samsung) there is alot of lag on the phone, its almost impossible to type cause its so annoying! lol its weird cause i thought it was the rom and tried flashing a few roms and it was all the same! found out it was because i was using a htc charger instead of the samsung one. weird cause its the same charging specs and a micro sd cable is all the same!!
Yea I've heard of that. It's indeed weird. I think there is something about it in the manual as well if I remember correctly (yes I read the manual for once!). Any ideas on the home screen/scroll lag?
I'm only on 2.3.3 ROM stock, and it's been great so I don't find the need to flash to other custom ROMS yet
The Touchwiz homescreen for me is buttery smooth. I mean, I've loaded alot of widgets on the thing and it's still smooth
ADW Launcher Ex homescreen scrolling is laggy for me though. No idea why, as the rest of the functions fly (ie app drawer scrolling, app opening, etc)
i also feel there's a tiny lag sometimes... don't know why... btw,i'm using go launcher
I'm also on stock 2.3.3 now and I think I'm going to stay with stocks for a while. I've used different launchers including ADW Launcher Ex and Go launcher Ex but they all have lag at some area. @rantzzz have you used an iphone before? how would you compare the homescreen to our S2. @sept20 can you please look under the battery and see where your phone was made? I.e. mine was made in korea. Thank-you.
Comparing the iPhone homescreen scroll and the Touchwiz 4.0 scroll on SGS2, the iPhone is much much smoother
But the stock Touch wiz 4.0 isn't a slouch also. There is a noticeable fraction of a lag when you swipe, but nothing too big
Thanks for confirming rantzzz. Yeah that fraction of lag when you swype is what I'm talking about. I also experience something similar in my apps drawer. I just can't figure out why Samsung couldn't have optimized something so small and argumentatively most important since it's the portal to everything you do on your phone! Maybe they will fix this in a future update or possibly in ICS.
Well i noticed if i use the 2x4 weather widget i get lag scrolling, shrinking it down and i lost the lag. I dunno if this will help you guys but worth a pop.
I get the lag no matter what, 100 widgets or no widgets. It would be interesting to hear if it helps anybody else though.
OP, Can you give us a full list of all software installed on your device, because I've NEVER seen lag on my phone. I've used TouchWiz, Launcher Pro and have finally settled on Go Launcher, and this phone makes the iPhone 4 looks slow and tedious, so I can only suggest that you have some software that is causing problems.
Edit: Okay, it doesn't make the iPhone 4 look slow. But it is clearly faster and smoother.
A list of software is pointless because I'm experiencing the problem at absolute stock. Whether it is my stock vodafone rom or a stock custom rom. If you wouldn't mind johncmolyneux could you please look under your battery and see where your phone was made? Also what rom and kernel you are using? Thank-you

I have to disagree here, my mate has an iPhone4 and compared to my GS2 it's definitelty not as smooth,my GS2 is much faster too and the display whilst good on both phones is definitely better on mine even my mate (relucantly) admitted that.
Scrollable wallpapers and live wallpapers kill the smoothness. Have a stationary wallpaper that doesn't scroll as you swipe and you'll see how smooth this baby is.
iPhone's launcher seems smoother because it doesn't let you install any wallpaper that'll slow down the homescreen.
I believe it is smooth. My friend (Iphone 4) user actually used my phone and he said that it was smoother and faster than his Ip4. But then again, actually at that time I just purchased it like an hour before. So it was really stock brand new and I have not actually installed anything yet.
I think the word 'lag' is misleading. Lag would actually imply that when you swipe the screen that it takes a moment to react. Do you really have that problem? I do not. The only time I could say I have with lag is the home button reaction speed - which isn't lag, it's because of the voice activation feature.
HOWEVER ...
What I would say is that slowly swiping between screens is far from buttery smooth - I would describe it as slightly juddery. If you swipe fast you barely notice, and if you scroll through the dots it's beautifuly smooth and impressive! BTW I've had 3 different firmwares and casual screen swiping has been equally unsmooth on all..
My question to all is... If you casually/slowly swipe between screens, do you find the animation smooth or a little juddery?

Mine was made in Korea and I'm using stock ROM (XWKE2) that has been rooted.
I've been so happy with stock ROM that I'm not seeing any need to put anything custom on it.
Hope you find the cause of your problem mate, because your phone is definitely not living up to its possibilities! Any chance of a video of your lag?

Launcher pro reminds me of one que I had- when i was using villain rom 1.4 lite, the launcher pro that came preinstalled didn't have any lag, but when I installed launcher pro on villain rom 1.4 (full version), i felt laggy app browser... why is it so? its also true with adw and go launcher... only thing changed now is that villain rom 1.4 days are gone with release of villain rom 2.0...
k..sense 6 themes really suck. I hate to say it but keeping it REAL.
Sense <5.5 had a really DEEP black background that was like digital octopus ink.. I LOVED it.
What do we do about these crappy themes? I want my TMO ONE to look like it used to..
Custom Photo wallpaper does absolutely nothing for theme color modification.
and on a side note..the scrolling touch response is now borderline sketchy...enough already with the super hyper screen sensitivity.
radio performance thus far has been excellent.... A+:good:
Odd to be replying to my own post but as a follow up after installing the elemental x kernel the scrolling smoothness is now perfect like before the update..the improvements are perfect now..

HTC sense 6 themes wallpapers truly sucks. I specificity goggled: ,,HTC sense 6 themes wallpapers sucks ,,........
Green and deep purple! What a fukkk...I tried really hard to play around but my phone UI looks much uglier now then before. I can't believe HTC did it.....
did you try swapping to the black theme? makes all highlighted app colors black.
also, if you have root, you can install Sense 6 toolbox (from Xposed framework) and customize each app color.

I have to admit the themes for HTC sense 6 are horrible!!!!!, WTF htc?? and no way to customize unless I possibly root my phone, which scars me, I afraid something will screw up making my phone unusable. Htc should have put an easy way for users to customize the colors!!!! Even Microsoft gives the users the ability to customize windows!!! I should not have to root my phone to get a better color theme!!!! I love HTC but this is one thing that really frustrates me. Not everyone likes the same colors, giving only 4 choices is ridiculous, event the dark theme is not truly dark it uses and ugly green in some places(like the setting screen). COME ON htc give the use some native control over the UI!!!

Lwps don't have any meaningful impact on battery so far. I've been using my favorite gif lwp on the duo though it's not perfect over both screens. Still seeing around 6 hours sot.
Doesn't mean some poorly behaved wallpapers won't drain battery, but nothing here would be duo specific.
