Is there a way to stop the wallpaper from moving when switching between home screens? That way it would be a lot smoother while a live wallpaper is running. I know Evil Eris does this by default but I'm using CELB Froyo.
Launcher Pro home launcher replacement offers this option - to disable wallpaper scrolling. I just tried it on a LWP and it works for that as well. Hope this helps.

I never thought of that! I use LauncherPro so ill give it a shot. Thanks!
You're always going to have lag on LWP's.
Actually that fix worked! The only thing that lags now is the app drawer so i guess your right lol
Surprisingly, I have almost no lag with LWPs. Not all of the market ones work, but the ones that do work fine. When I first starting using them in some 2.1 roms they lagged a little. I found that if the LWP has settings, tweaking them to use less CPU or effects greatly improved lag.

Hi,
I love Live Wallpapers (espacially Beautiful Live Weather). But always when I'm using a live wallpaper, my Archos 70 8GB (2.1.4 firmware, LauncherPro and scaled on 1GHz using SetCPU) is very slow on the homescreens and in the app drawer. All the apps are as fast as with a "normal" wallpaper. But scrolling in the app drawer is very bad.
It's the same with all launchers.
Do you have the same problems or not?
Every Android device i know gets slow when these are on.
Ok, but I don't think that it's normal if the scrolling in the app drawer is so bad?
Do you own an Archos? Could you test that?
I noticed Live Wallpaper degrade its performance and battery since the stock launcher. Since then, I've never used Live wallpaper again. Without live wall paper + LauncherPro+, the home screen and app drawer are as smooth as my iPad springboard.
I've noticed the same, but I use Multipicture Live Wallpaper and it works great for me. But no animation.
use launcherPro..smoother than stock launcher..
maybe because of ram..live wallpaper cause lag to the device..
I'm already using LauncherPro+, but using Live wallpaper, the Archos is slow, too.
I tried MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, and using this, the Archos is faster (nearly as fast as without Live wallpapers), but scrolling between the homescreens isn't very smooth...
Now I use normal wallpaper, but thank you fou your help!
use ADW launcher and I assure your screen will run as smooth as ipad
I don't like how the wallpaper doesn't scroll. Like the I go to another home screen, the wallpaper doesn't shift how it did on my Hero. Anyone know how to change the wallpaper from being static?

You have to complain to htc because they added the carousel without the option to not use it. Their contact link is in another post of mine.somewhere or just go to their sure ante complain so they can update it ota

I don't think that there is a way you change it unless you download adw launcher or launcher pro from the market. you can use many different transitions, wallpaper scrolling effects, etc. although I'm not sure if you want to not use htc sense.
Damn. Oh well, I love Sense too much to care about the static background. I might just go back to live wallpapers then. Any suggestions besides Nexus, my favorite?

Does anybody know any good live wallpaper that works on Wildfire? I recently found Shake Them All! works quite well
The ones I have found working well without lag:
- Starfield 2D
- Solar Wind
- Android Sparkle LWP
- Pixel Rain - (Currently using ATM)
But, I really wanted a Nexus One style Livewallpaper, but, sadly all lag. (Most prominent when you swipe across homescreen panes) :/
EDIT: I installed this, the performance is great (No lag), but not impressed with the touch functionality (Interaction), 'seems' its glitched. Also, no configuration options at all, but, performance is very smooth.

Solar wind is Dope. Really smooth.
Yes, and it's pretty much the same for all of AOI Dev's LWPs, but, somehow, the others seem "glitched", i.e. they start flickering (And its so bright it hurts the eyes) and don't work as intended. But for the few that do, they are extremely smooth. Swiping across the homescreens is almost similar to having a static wallpaper.
They are probably the reason I look for LWPs <100kB in size.

I've tried Nexus Revamped Live Wallpaper & it works really great. A lot of tweaks especially performance. Can set it to 10-15fps with max particles 10. Really smooth

I have that, but it lagged when you swiped across homescreens. I had reduced the number of particles but had left the fps option at default.
Guess I will give it another go with a 10-15 fps setting.
Cheers
The Multipicture live wallpaper works great (and it should ^^) only thing i notice is my statusbar pulldown animation starts lagging >.>
ambient time LWP, a circuit board, typography wall, swamp water, WP clock LWP worked quite well on mah cell try dem
You can search in Market with keyword "Dragon Live Wallper". Many Live Wallper about Dragon look great. Special "Sea Dragon"
Hi all
I just installed Solar wind live wallpaper, but got message that my handset does not support it.. Is it cos my phone isn't rooted? Or something else could be problem? tnx in advance
yes, stock ROM's do not support live wallpapers on the wildfire.
I don't use any at all. It makes the app drawer laggy as well, too bad

I use launcher pro paid version, but still I can notice lag. It perhaps doesn't lag that much from transitions of homescreens, but the app drawer is not as smooth as when using a static wallpaper (at least for me)...
Excuse me if I missed it but I'm interested in getting my wallpaper cropped, panoramic, and scrolling as they did in my Galaxy S2 and Fascinate. I know some people are using different launchers to accomplish this. Which one and are they able to crop the wallpaper properly prior to setting it? I also have one other request. I need my live wallpapers to scroll as well since I have one that slightly rotates in either direction when panning thru my home pages. Why is this feature not included on the Note? I sure do miss it. Thanks for your assistance.

I was wondering this myself. I was quite boggled when I went to make my wallpaper my favorite TRON: Legacy wallpaper with LauncherPro and it was completely wrong.
I can get them to scroll when using ADW and Go launchers but it doesn't change the fact that we have to crop them in a portrait shape instead of a landscape shape like we want. Also, my live wallpaper will not rotate no matter what launcher I use. I'm doubting ICS will give us this option either. Maybe a custom ROM is our only hope Great, back to the custom ROM world of bugs...
Autosize DbD wallpaper set is the app you need to pick up to crop or fit a wallpaper correctly without having it enlarged.
Scrolling wallpaper works for me on the launcher called ashell
Both these apps are free and lightweight

Do you think this will allow live wallpapers to scroll? I have several that move when moving from page to page when used in my galaxy 2 or fascinate
If you use the skyrocket wallpaperpicker.apk (will try and post it up later)
it allows landscape selection.
