With the release of 2.1 imminent and a lot of people keen to get their hands on live wallpapers, have you decided on what wallpaper you will be using??
I certainly want to give this one a go:

Yes, but only for kicks. And maybe to show off to iPhone 4 fanboys and girls... not sure if they have Live Wallpapers or not but oh well, Android rules either way.
I already have it its pretty awesome customizable too

First get 2.1
Second stop useless threads
Maybe then I'll think about answering your question.

meow, it's hardly a useless thread, I find it quite useful, and im sure there are others out there too, but might be interested, it's hardly like im advertising WoW cash, so yeah.
@everyone else, yeah I know it sucks battery life so I wont be doing it perminently, just as something to show off, like gimmicky
As soon as we get the update I'm rocking the map live wallpaper. I love it on my g1
Why do people complain about everything on these forums?
Allow people to say what they want, as long as it is related to the thread, and (usually) nothing else.
If you (as in everyone) thinks a thread is useless, don't post on it. It wastes your time, and others who respond to you, because of it.
Back to the topic - I would to try out some live wallpapers to see how they look, but if they use up a lot of battery, then I probably won't bother any more.
I like the look of this one:

Ill be getting that one!
ll be going for the one called "seeds of life"
heck i have already dnloaded it...
iphone fanboys have had "live wallpapers" since the original iphone. vwallpaper it was/is called and it enables you to use any video as a wallpaper.
I will be using wally which enables you to use gifs as live wallpapers. waiting for the one that lets me use videos as live wallpapers. One thing I miss about my old iphone.
I've had live wallpapers for my nexus one since I got the phone, and I don't use it. It's a gimmick. My phone is much faster and lasts longer on a charge without it.
Just want to say that I'm in no way discouraging others from using it. I just have a very practical outlook for my phone.
For the first two hours yes...

I thought think this one is pretty cool, it's called Celestial Bodies and it changes as you play music, really nice looking app if you're into astronomy etc.

Also, I heard that not all live wallpapers destroy battery life and the issue is more related to sloppy coding by their creators. Something to do with sleep policy etc, maybe somebody could elaborate on that or suggest live wallpapers that are known to be resource friendly like the grass one.

You would think that if that is indeed the case than all the dafault live wallpapers that come with 2.1 are optimized...

I see you're new here, so I'll try being helpful.
XDA has a rich history of sharing with one another. This can be anything from wallpapers (such as this thread) to mods to applications (see modded Android Market .apk files) in any of the numerous forums. I would encourage you to take a look around some of the other forums to see how members are generally quite helpful.
Maybe it's a manners type thing. If you don't have anything constructive to share, don't. I'd rather carry on the XDA history of members sharing with one another and working together instead of being rude/inconsiderate/etc.
Thank you for the link. I'm sure it's fantastic for people who aren't really concerned with how the wallpaper is clipped when in portait/landscape mode, or the search bar and dock. I tried to trim these so they would look decent in both modes. If you don't care for them, the back button is on the top left side of the browser, you don't need to check back on this thread anymore. It'll do fine without your criticism.
Here's a few I've been using. You might recognize them as android or iOS wallpapers-- resized to 1024x1024

well, again, it's more of a sharing thing rather than "help me find them". It's kind of nice seeing what other people are doing with their touchpad.
just got mine last night, so haven't gotten much of anything on it yet, but I'll share some when I get to it.
Here's what I'm using right now. My pc is dead, I'll upload the pic itself once I get it back up and can actually resize it.

Hi all, would it be possible to build a new launcher or ui/theme, much like one of the Iphone 5 mockups (see images).
I simply LOVE this concept and I think it would look great on our X10's.
Any take on this? Anyone willing to try to build something similar?
Wrong section...
Also, if someone was this good of a developer/designer they definitely wouldn't be using the x10..

Alright, so you don't like it. I respect that.
But could you tell whether it would be possible in theory or does this concept goes way too far from the original idea of Android?

Please play nice before it happens all over again (talking about banning)..
Thanks anyhow.

hey friend,
this UI looks different from what we have seen since the 1st day.. dont u all think so..
this one is really cool.. well.. the bee hive icons not that cool but still blend with the overall layout and color..
it is definitely difficult but not impossible.. and lot of time consuming.. when many great devs moved on..
i think this has arrived a bit late to review by the devs..
anyways.. nice one to think again for the devs..
great going..
thanks..

I loves me the Go Dev Team, lots of high quality apps from them.
the go team has a bad rep, so i don't think ill be rocking any of their stuff. You guys should really look into what they really do, ever wonder why its free? Ill just tell you this much XDA doesn't support Go dev team
bad rep as far as what?
I've never had a problem with any of the Go apps. They always update weekly, and they do everything I need for them to do.
This has worked flawlessly for two days - I like it. Agile Lock, which has much greater customization ability, would give me the double lockscreen occasionally regardless of which of their fixes I used. No issues with the Go Lockscreen. Given some time, this will probably have the same level of customization as Agile Lock.

Not wanting to start a debate, just giving my two cents.
careful or paranoid?
Nearly every app you install asks for permission to your info. I don't keep sensitive info in my phone. I don't input CC numbers, don't use a bank app and all my passwords are different on my phone then the ones I use for my "sensitive info".
"Opted in or opted out" lately, do you really know?
How many times have you been out at a restaurant and given the server your CC and they disappear for 5-10 minutes in the backroom? Lord knows what they can do with it in that time.
The world knew me from the day the internet started and before.
They can have the damn cat.....
Sorry for the off topic BS...

I was using it for a bit (didnt try the password). It seemed to work pretty good but I went back to the stock Motorola lockscreen. I did however keep using Go Launcher Ex as I love the themes. Currently using the Ice Cream Sandwich theme
This bad reputation thing seems just like an opinion from somebody. As big as the go launcher is google would have been up on them already!
I like GO apps, first app I install on my new phones are GO SMS.
After using this for a few days, it appears that it was carousing sine battery drain. I had to uninstall until the next version hopefully fixes it.
Sent from my MoPho
Just going to end it with this you can never be too careful. And certain apps need that type of info to operate correctly from trusted sources, what your cc and a restaurant have to do with this I have no clue. XDA doesn't trust them and that's more than enough to keep me away from them point period
So I installed the go locker from the market, and as was mentioned in one of the previous posts here I believe, it won't lock. Bipasses my lock screen, so it is pretty cool, but that alone made me uninstall it.

I think it is not an English lesson at all, I guess anyone would be able to help you but we need to know what aesthetically means to you? (minimalistic, colorful...). There are so many ways to it and anyone thinks of the word differently.
well I guess everyone should just say what they like......and this will achieve what? Are you seriously telling me that people telling you what THEY like will help you in deciding what YOU like?
Everyone telling me what they think will allow me to make an informed decision when I choose to purchase from play store. The bit I don't understand about your line of questioning is that you make wanting to know what other people think sound unusual. Which is just weird. We ask for the opinion of others everyday, we judge from their knowledge and experiences whether or not a given product is worth our time or our money.
What I mean by astetically pleasing is simply what Calander looks nicest on the home screen in the xda community's opinion
