I really want to use them because they are so cool, but I tried a lightning one and it just seemed to move a little laggy. Swiping, opening things, you could tell slightly it was a little slower. Not sure how drastic battery life is cut short though.
Anyone use them, or just use their own custom wallpapers? Or any other thoughts on Live Wallpapers in general?
I use them every now n then. I experience no lag at all with them on. it might just be that particular wallpaper not optimized for tablet or ICS. plus not too many out there that's HD. I rather use a highbdefinition wallpaper that showcases the Primes great display and colors. There are some really good live wallpapers out there though. They don't really drain the battery like people like to assume. Some are made better than others.
Some great ones are; Digital Hive(free), SunRise(free), Bubbles, Christmas HD, Season Zen(free), and Touch Ripples(free). Those all work n look great on the Prime with no lag. All this live wallpaper talk makes me wanna apply one now..lol
I've been using black hole that came with ICS. It works great. I use the ones that came with the system because their made for ICS. Doesnt effect the speed or scrolling.
I have been using the water/whale paper pre loaded. Works fine while indicating the battery level. Haven't noticed any lag or other issues.
.
I try them on occasion too, and then switch away when bored to something like Windows Vista Wallpapers (and Win7, the dramatic Landscape stuff) They are all out there, modified for the Primes resolution
I just tried Black hole because of the other post, and I like it much more than I thought I would. We will see, by end of day I will be looking for something else, LOL!
Anyone try the "semi-live" Asus "Day Scene"? Changes with time of day, so it's really just 4-5 static WP's. Nice, but the "dusk " one s horrible. Looks like someone peed on the landscape, LOL!
Installed the Skyrim live wallpaper, looks and feels pretty smooth.
Guess you have to like the game though.
Digital Hive is awesome...When you're not doing anything on the desktop, it's pretty passive, but during touch actions, it's cool as hell.

when i had my diamond sense used to have a side swiping animation which was removed due to speed issues. now the hd2 is here is there a way of getting this back or is it in the code anymore?
If you mean swiping to the side to change tabs instead of using the slider then Yeah its there....... it is on mine anyway....
Theres no animation though, it just switches to the next tab........
same here...
if you mean something different, describe it better pls

yea you can swipe, but when.sense first came out it used to animate like side swiping in sense for android does now quite hard to explain really..
it would move to the next screen not go to the next.screen

My $670 Atrix turns into a $200 G1 when I decide to run a live wallpaper. Scrolling becomes nightmare-ish (especially on the Starlight live wallpaper), and the 3D App screen comes up with 1-2 frames per second, or something to that effect.
I'm using Launcher Pro Plus. Unrooted, undeodexed. This isn't why I bought the "world's most powerful phone". Any solutions?
EDIT: This is exactly what I'm talking about:
See how choppy the transitions and "apps fly in" transition is when you bring up the app drawer on a live wallpaper?
I would say something is maybe wrong with the phone itself. I can run any live wallpaper perfectly whether on stock or modded roms. Can you exchange it for another one still?

Well I would say the best thing you could do is root it and install gingerblur.Gingerblur can remove all that att bloat slowing it down and plus it gives you options of having hulu, webtop hack, sideloading etc. Also what firmware are you on 4.1.57 or 4.1.26 if your on the latter I would definetly update. Even if you dont wanna root and mod then an update will definetly improve your situation over crappy 4.1.26 its known to be more laggy.

Also you could root it using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060 which should also let you enable sideloading and tethering. Thats not a bad choice of stuff to have.

I really, really hate Motorola now. I should have gone for the Nexus S, but no 720p recording is just unforgivable.... but then again it costs $100 less.
Oh, and the Tegrazone games are NOT worth getting an Atrix. At all. Screen is not big enough to notice the difference anyway, and there are way too many good "non-Tegra" Android games.
I really like my Atrix, but now might take it back to Best Buy. Data speed is to slow and I use my mobile hotspot connection daily for work. I went back to my white iPhone 4 for now, because sending documents back to the office was taking to long on the Atrix.
Again, I really like the Atrix phone but going to return it and pre-order the BlackBerry PlayBook. I know 2 wrongs don't make a right.

With all live wallpapers:
- Phone takes about 4 seconds to respond to a wake up power button push.
- App drawer icons fly in animation is choppy.
- App vertical scrolling is choppy.
With some live wallpapers (e.g. Starlight):
- Choppy homescreen swiping.
When I go back to a non-Live wallpaper, everything's smooth and fast again. Mine is a Bell ATRIX so I don't have 1.5.7
Im in the same boat as you. As soon I run a live wallpaper the phone turns crap. Using the free launcher pro on gingerblur and version 1.57 so deodexed and no bloatware doesn't help. Living in aus makes this difficult to return too

I think there is something wrong with starlight due to our screen's resolution.
Other live wall paper seen to work fine on my phone but starlight lags the home screen swiping.
I've noticed that with stralight, when you swipe to the next screen, the background swipes past the next screen's background just a little bit and jumps back (no matter how slowly or fast you swipe to the next screen)

True. That only happens with Starlight. But what about the others? The Apps drawer flies in with a very choppy animation, and the same can be said about the vertical scrolling.

Good, I'm starting to think this isn't something unique to my Atrix -that it's not defective.
I just cannot believe a Tegra 2 phone would STRUGGLE so badly with live wallpapers. Unbelievable. I will sell this POS once the new HTC EVO 3D arrives (provided it has good battery life).
All i know is.. I'm running anipet aquarium with a whole ****load of fish with them swimming at various speeds and it runs perfect and causes no lag at all. Maybe it is a starlight problem cause I'm on gladiatrix with all possible mods(webtop,hdmi,hulu,multitouch keyboard etc.) and I have no problems on launcherpro or stock motoblur. You bell customers probably need an update. Theres a difference between 4.1.26 and 4.1.57 for those of us on att. Bell just gotta get there asses in gear!

I just tried out anipet aquarium. Made the homescreen swiping noticeably less smooth, and of course hitting the app drawer button brought a choppy fly in animation.
So are you saying it was laggy on 4.1.26 with live wallpapers and became smooth after the update? Coz DarkRyoushii has the update and is reporting an eually poor performance.
all wallpapers made by the same guy, starlight, nightfall, eastern glow makes the phone laggy because i think they dont support high res screens...
Other ones like jumpgate, or twisted colors, my phone is super smooth
Wow I can't believe that either Android or HTC took such a serious step backwards with this new applications screen. I mean this stinks of way back in my Windows 6.x days. My EVO 4G applications drawer would just scroll and scroll so quickly and smoothly from top to bottom, relative to how fast and hard the finger gesture was. Now here we are again with this lame stepped scrolling app screen environment. You flick down and the screen moves exactly one set of five rows and slams to a stop, like you have reached the end. So you have to flick it again to get another whole five rows. In fact if you move the screen manually and slowly you can even see a thin white break across the screen where the stops are forced to happen. This sucks so much compaired to the beautiful, smooth, fluid animation we had before. Pleeeeease tell me there is a way to change this.

Nope I went straight from my EVO 4G to this and my ROM of choice was always the trusty Sprint Lover's rom, which was the original sense.
Launcher Pro Plus (the $3 is worth it) works very smoothly (I can scroll the whole app list in 1 swipe, no lag). I got Fancy Widgets free from the Amazon Apps store awhile back, and it makes up for the lost Sense widgets. I got addicted to having the scrolling lower launcher bar - there's no way I can go back to just 3 buttons that I can't assign
I actually like the vertical paginated style in the Sense 3.0 drawer. It reminds me of the horizontal paginated in ADW, which is what I always used. I wouldn't go so far to say it's a major step backwards, though. It's not really the end of the world.

yup, people complains for everything this days, remember the 30 days return policy mi gente!!
I remember seeing a review that you're able to pinch the app draw to see all the apps at the same time, then select the screen with the app you want. Just like the home screen on the regular Evo.
Is this how it works? Cause that would eliminate a reason to fast scroll for me & also explain why there's a line every 5 rows
lol @ some of you guys getting upset at people who don't like the app drawer.... calm down little fellas... we aren't insulting you.
I love the phone so far, hate the app drawer... using anything other than sense 3.0 on this phone right now would be silly IMO.
I got my Transformer Prime earlier today (about 2:00pm to be exact) and I've been screwing with it all day. I love the way it feels and it made me very happy. The whole day I had also been postponing the update...
but I did it. I already miss the looks and feel that honeycomb offered. Yes, the ICS update may bring out the hardware a little more, but why did they "downgrade" some of the niceness of the GUI? The thing I liked about HC was that it felt different. It was a unique tablet OS that wasn't like anything else. Now that it has ICS, it feels like a bigger version of the ICS phone version. Long pressing home screens no longer brings up that convenient, pretty menu, but now just asks for the wallpaper location. The app drawer is no longer transparent and doesn't have that "fade" animation anymore, which I really liked. The home screens now have an unnecessary "dot counter" at the top and the default clock isn't the pretty blue one that I liked anymore. I feel like my first experience with the tablet is now history.
To top it off, the camera feels uglier and takes longer to snap photos. The flash is also messed up, because now when I take photos with the flash they are extremely bright and too white. Before, they would simply be brightened up a little bit.
I know some of this stuff can be fixed with app installs and stuff, but I really loved honeycomb and now I feel like the tablet isn't the same.
I agree whole-heartedly. I never expected to be saying it because I had been convinced by all the hype of how awesome ICS would be. Unfortunately, now that I've updated, I'm realizing that its no upgrade- lots of games/apps no longer work and the UI is only a shadow of its former self (see previous post). Hopefully someone will find a way to get these features to us, before we have to seek the next tablet.
SCOTT
I'm just hoping when the bootloader gets unlocked that someone makes an optimized honeycomb ROM. I know I'll be installing that for sure..
I think Asus rushed ICS on to the Prime. All the lock ups, freezes etc. Other than that I'm a fan of ICS. Honeycomb is an eyesore compared to it.
Well on top of that, all of the other stock apps seem to be downgraded as well. The calendar no longer has the nice coloring that it had before, the camera is now an ugly gray gradient color and is slow to take pictures, the lock screen no longer "ripples" and doesn't have the sleek animation that it had before, the homescreens now require more distance to swipe through (which is bad for me since I like swiping the corners a lot), the settings screen is all jumbled up, the clock is ugly, the gallery is now 2D and not as "nice" as the old one...need I go on?
ICS is such a downgrade for me. As soon as that bootloader gets unlocked I'm reverting to honeycomb right away.
I find the changes to UI in Android 4.0 as the best thing Android could have done. Native apps look sleek and modern, the sci-fi'ish/TRON coloring of UI itself is perfect for the culture it represents without being a bother for regular users.
I really, really love it.
But people are different, so it's interesting to hear some still prefer Honeycomb.
I love the style of ICS as well; the light blue / gray coloring is awesome. I'm just saying I really loved the black / blue honeycomb a whole lot more. It felt so much less cluttered and it felt "cooler" to me. Now I can't go back for at least a few more weeks
IcS OS the best thing to happen to Prime. Plus it was built for it anyways. People forgetting device was supposed to originally with ICS anyways. Yeah the long press feature on-screen of HC is missed but ill be OK..lol. too many people wanted ICS. ICS did fix alot of issues and speed things up nicely. If we would still be stuck on HC everyone would be crying about it. Plus ICS is the universal version. So phone version supposed to look similar. More n more benefits of ICS will show itself as more updates come. Probably with next update due anyday now.
I know what you mean and I agree with you. ICS definitely is a step forward and it was made to unify the platform and make everything better. My point is that I loved the way honeycomb felt and this is a little less nice in my opinion. Also to be honest I feel like it's slower now..but maybe I'm doing something wrong.
EDIT: Forgot to turn on "Force GPU Rendering" in development settings. It's super smooth now..like really smooth.
I'm glad I disabled my update. I was seeing all the problems people were having with updating to ICS. I think I'll wait until the bootloader is unlocked and we have a working CWM so I can do a nandroid backup before flashing any upgrades.
I'm so glad I've seen this, I thought I was the only one who preferred honeycomb on the prime.

I bet the Asus engineers scrambling to figure out the ICS lockup issue and hundreds of Primes owners with $500 paperweights would disagree with this.
Is it possible some of those pretty things in Honeycomb were Asus additions and with them trying to rush ICS out they didn't add those things? I agree, that I thought Honeycomb felt much more refined. I don't dislike ICS though.

Yup, ditto.
Just experienced my first lockup/freeze on ICS in the car today. Was testing the IPS+ brightness boost and when I turned it on, the device became unresponsive and rebooted after a few seconds.
There had better be a firmware update quickly, or the unlocked bootloader at least.
EDIT: The camera also now has a flash issue. If you use the flash to take a picture up close to something, the flash will make the picture extremely bright instead of just illuminating the photo; honeycomb did not have this issue. Former macro shots now look like flashbangs.
The only thing that sucks in ICS versus HC, at least in my opinion, is the garbage Gallery app in ICS. In HC, the folders were alphabetically ordered, and you could toggle between viewing only photos or videos. In ICS, the folders a completely random mess that cannot be properly ordered, and the video/photos toggle is gone. This is more on Google than Asus, as the gallery is equally crappy in ICS on my Galaxy Nexus, but it's annoying nonetheless.

Exactly. I know ICS is a great step forward, but it destroyed most of what I liked about honeycomb in the first place.
EDIT: Second lockup just occurred a little while ago while I was looking for an app on the Market. Ugh..
EDIT 2: Another lockup, literally 10 minutes after I turned my device on in the morning..went to select the camera from the lockscreen and bam. THEN, while it was rebooting, it locked up DURING THE BOOT and went back to the splash screen. This is kinda messed up.
Just had two lockups in a row within a 20 minute period. One in the music player, the other in the market (that makes two or three lockups I've had in the market alone so far).
I know everyone is having this issue but jeez..it's happening so frequently.
EDIT: Another lockup by loading up Barcode Scanner for the first time. Yes, I'm kinda using this thread as a way to keep track of my lockups, but maybe it'll help somehow.
Yup
-Mediums-
So tell me what you want in your boot animation. Be detailed or not. I'm comfortable with Blender (3D modeling & animation suite), Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, and Audacity, so I can make an animation from scratch on any medium, compose videos, and even do basic sound mixing for it.
-Queuing-
If an idea sounds cool & easy I'll do that first, and if it's ROM/user specific (like a name animation), I'll save it for later. If it sounds too difficult and/or ugly I'll also save it for later, and I can't guarantee I'll get to all of them (depending on if this gets popular)
-Requests-
You can be as detailed as you want (or not at all), and I'd prefer if you linked effects videos (free stock videos) and/or sounds to mix. I'll also just cut up & format a youtube video or something if you want that. FYI I'd say I have a very good eye for things that look good, so you can just be broad and let me do the rest if you want. The product will also depend on how lazy I am at that time.
The boot animation is composed of multiple parts, and each part can be played once, looped a certain number of times, or looped infinitely (of course you would loop the last part infinitely, or make sure the animation is long enough to accommodate all boot lengths). No one part can contain too many frames or else the boot animation will glitch or hang. Also specify if you want me to cut the framerate or resolution of the animation if it makes the animation glitch.
-Payment-
Thanks's. I also get a warm fuzzy feeling from this .
Hmm, actually there is something I'd appreciate in return if anyone can do it for me. I'm currently using teamd3rp's Blue Dust skin, and it's beautiful. The only thing that really bugs me is that the selection colors (colors when selecting menu items or pressing buttons) and scrollbar are grey. The selections are also gradients, I'd rather prefer the same flat ICS blue. If anyone can replace those items (as well as the lock ring) with the ones in this skin (ICSSpark), or at least point me in the right direction, I'd be really appreciate it. Thanks!
-Installation-
Depending on how lazy I am, I'll either provide a flashable zip or just the raw files. Also it can be different for some roms.

I am in no way responsible for anything bad happening to you or your phone. It's not my fault, use these at your own risk. You broke it, not me. I am not responsible for damages to your phone, these include but are not limited to your phone bricking, breaking, bursting into flames, stealing your wife, falsifying police reports on you, winning against you in court, sending you to prison, and taking your home and children.
NOTE: I will NOT be testing these on my own phone (unless otherwise specified), I will only be testing these in the Boot Animation Previewer so if the animation does glitch, just let me know and I'll adjust the framerate/resolution.

Can you make something like this
It should be in portrait
Without "Assassins Creed" words or any other words
Without audio
First part of animation should be while it spins until it transforms and the rest should repeat until phone boots up
Hope its not to complicated
There is also some kind of template here

Holy crap, that template includes the actual after effects file. This makes things so easy. I should able to get it done tonight easily.
Thanks a lot. I have been trying to do it myself but i dont have nearly enough skill to do it
Done. I tested it and it's working on my phone, but for some reason it speeds up a lot during the last part (the infinite loop part) and idk why. It looks fine in the previewer. It's probably something in the rom (I'm using ZR3D 2.0.1GT vB).
Took a bit of tweaking to actually get it to fit well and loop right. Let me know if it looks fine on yours.

Looks good. You are right it speeds up at the end(repearing part)
Maybe it will even bee bether without that last part, only spining animation, what do you think?

Sure, but then I need to lose the cloud and glowing square animations for it to loop right (unless I try some fading trickery). Actually I think one of the cloud layers was based on an algorithm that I can adjust... I'll see about it tomorrow as I need to sleep right now, just let me know what your conclusion is.

It looks excelent like this if you can make that last part run in normal speed, if not than only spin is fine

Thanks's. I also get a warm fuzzy feeling from this .
Hmm, actually there is something I'd appreciate in return if anyone can do it for me. I'm currently using teamd3rp's Blue Dust skin, and it's beautiful. The only thing that really bugs me is that the selection colors (colors when selecting menu items or pressing buttons) and scrollbar are grey. The selections are also gradients, I'd rather prefer the same flat ICS blue. If anyone can replace those items (as well as the lock ring) with the ones in this skin (ICSSpark), or at least point me in the right direction, I'd be really appreciate it. Thanks!

Well I'm not going to swap images with spark, but I just finished dinging around in blue dust skin. Might not be perfect, but look for an update in my skins thread in a bit.
Not one to rant but gotta add my 2 cent here.
It's great that you like both of those themes and can only use one at a time. Not cool to ask anyone to swap out images in those themes(without asking the creators of them)in trade for anything. Mash-ups are great for personal use but to ask to have images swapped from two different teams themes in a post not so much(99% of the themers here don't mind sharing) .Now if you want to learn to do that for personal use there's a great thread to learn from in this very section of the forum. Or you can ask the creators about maybe New colors coming to the theme of choice.<rant over>

I spent quite some time trying to get it working correctly and tried compensating by slowing it down beforehand, and also lowering the file sizes so there isn't any lag from reading. But I guess it doesn't like me . Anyway, I also put together an only spinning animation at 60 & 30 fps. Though it's still very strange, the first loop is slow then the rest is at normal speed. I spent a couple hours troubleshooting this but can't find anything, I'm stumped! I tried different renderers, compression formats, resolutions, and tried switching to pngs but it still won't look right, which is very strange because my Warm 2.3 animation looks fine. Sorry I can'y get this working right, but here are the best three versions of it:
Just spinning (30fps)
Just spinning (60fps) [more lag but gets much smoother]
Full animation attempt [still not perfect]

Do you have a specific video in mind? I don't know where to go with this!

Sorry about that, I guess "Payment" wasn't the correct word for it, maybe just a favor. I wanted to give something back with this thread so I don't feel like a mooch. I also tried to go at it myself a few days ago but I'm unsure of what images are what, whether I need to decompile/recompile the apk or if I could just drag and drop the pngs in Winrar, etc. It was my first time rooting and such just a few days ago so I'm still a super n00b. Just asking for a favor openly, sorry if I offended anyone!
Though, would you happen to know why these boot animations are speeding up during loops? I tried googling it but only found an unresolved thread. I'm stumped as to why they aren't working correctly.

Wasn't offended. But if you wish to mash up for personal use please take a look at interactive phone modification guide( questions welcome) Wasn't trying to be a **** ( sorry if I came off that way)
As to your bootani's speeding up, I can take a look if you want and it's just the looping part? The other parts are running as intended? Is it all of the or just the one?

Just my experiences here: in ROMs with GPU rendering (is that the right term? I'm sleep deprived right now...), like ZR3D and Eternity ROMs, the bootanimations always speed up after the first repetition in a loop. I don't move away from those ROMs and reaper ROM much so I can't tell you if it does the same on other ROMs or not.
Could you make a bootanimation of of red and black UFO (beats audio colored) abducting our phone and then saying beats audio?

Hi there would you be able do this for me please,
I would like the medallion spinning but still readable and 3d if possible, keep the colours and writing.
Be good to see, thank you
