Curious on y'alls decisions. I'm really in to space (the universe) yet have failed to find a good, high quality space wallpaper (live) that I like. And static images can have a much higher resolution. I love to wow my friends when they see I have a live wallpaper, yet I feel that static wallpapers have their pro's as well. What do you guys think?

I figure any battery drain caused by live wallpapers isn't worth it, so I stay static.

I go back and forth. Most of the time I prefer static wallpapers simply because there's now available. I don't really notice any significant battery drain with live wallpaper though. As far as I know it's only using more battery when you're looking at the homescreen.

how bad is battery drain REALLY with live wallpapers? i mean with ics and jb, the lag isn't so bad anymore so I sometimes like to use them... but I've never found one that I stick with for more than a day

Well, "Good" is a relative term, but you might find something you like here:

Some of those are not what I would call good, but several are definitely worth trying.

Solar System HD Deluxe I've never had problems with battery drain, well one time before I rooted the Fascinate, umpteen phones ago. Not at all on the DNA and screen brightness is almost all the way up.
There's a live wallpaper project that a devloper did involving HD and high quality at that, space images. The developer put a ton of research and development into his project. He believed their was a better way to develop a system from the ground up and from talking to the users it ran very well looked good and was extremely efficient in battery and resources. For all I know you guys might have discussed it already.
I will see if I can find the thread in question it was in the last few weeks I ran across it I think.
If some of you guys are wanting to experiment on some paid live wallpapers or get more info from me, send me a PM. I'm an app collector and might can provide better info than simply reading the play store description.
I can't answer a million questions on every live wallpaper app but if its supposed to be top shelf or the best of the best and you're wondering about it feel free to hit me up.

Ever since I found out that live wallpapers drained more out of the battery I stopped using them. Though the DNA is a different class phone so idk how much of a difference it really makes.

Anyone else notice slower performance with live wallpaper running? My friend has a g2x and his has no slow down. Sense doesn't scroll through home screens as smooth with live wall paper. I figured those days from laggy home screens on the og EVO were gone with the EVO 3d.

Your doing something wrong then. HAHA mine is smooth. If it's fine without the live wallpaper then get rid of it?
Although live wallpaper runs better on this device than anything Ive previously seen, there is still some minor lag. Some may not notice it, but its there.

The Live Wallpaper developers are obviously to blame as there are some Live Wallpapers that do a horrible job utilizing the APIs properly. Take for instance the Starfield Live Wallpaper. It has run like a dream on every single phone I've put it on including lower end phones, no matter how many stars I turn on. Then you have the Thunder Live Wallpaper which undoubtedly blows on pretty much everything. There are some intense Live Wallpapers that are done correctly and provide a great experience with no lag, and there are some less intense ones that really suck balls. It just depends on if they were made correctly.
I like the weather one that cane in the phone but I can't use it cause it causes major lag......

I think maybe its the quality of stream that netflix uses cause when I play movies from my sdcard i dont notice it..
i always notice it though if the video res is really low.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
yes i think hiii is correct. the netflix app on 2.3 series does not scale with screen size i beleve it is kept at a low resolution and that is part of the blockyness.
Use the following Netflix.apk file attached. It'll solve all the resolution problems. I've been using it for 2 days now.
Note: Do NOT update the app after you install it, or it'll go back to the one that doesn't work well.

No problem the concept is cool though I just think more colors and maybe different items to obtain that have different sounds and effects like bombs that make you lose or invincible shield icons that thou can obtain. Also maybe a slow motion one that lets you score a bunch of tockens by having the screen move very slow but the ball moves at normal speed. For example you obtain slow-mo and then you enter a mini maze filed with colorful tokens and you have to rotate your device fast to get the most tokens before your crushed by the screen coming to the top of course make an exit available. Etc

It´s possible to create a similar looking statusbar, but you should care of what you asking for The android community is like "What you bought a S3 and now want a IOS theme? Burn!"

Point for the OP may have been that the S3 is a much cooler phone and more powerful also. Oh, and the whole screen is bigger thing also. And then there is the whole Android is great and is capable of being customized to the hill. And can even be made to mimic whole or in part IOS. Fact of the matter here is that we all here love different thesis/looks for our devices. And if some of you might not have guessed, IOS has a theme of its own. And, some in here like that theme. Do I no. But that does not matter. All that matters is that the OP gets to what they came for as well as every one else here. So, on that note, Yeah!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Honestly there's features on iPhone that I think are fantastic - that said, I'm still an Android fanatic. I'm not sure though why everyone's giving the OP a hard time.
To answer the question though, it's possible, but highly unlikely since we'd be working with closed-sourced software. There's no way to port the iPhone's status bar without an enormous amount of work. That said, you can still theme the status bar to similar likings. If Rompnit got my post in the Morphology section, you'll find additional signal bar icons that are based off the iPhone's.
For an iPhone style you just have to flash a MIUI ROM and install a iPhone theme.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have heard all over the forums that there are no good Wallpaper Apps or sites for our phone. Well I came across this site and thought I would share it here.
http://www.mygalaxynotewallpaper.com/m/index.php
This site is AMAZING!! The wallpapers look amazing on our device. I personally have tried like 4 or 5 different ones and they always look great. No pixelating, stretching or distorting of any kind. The website appears to have 1000's available, and they are catagorized very nicely. And the best thing is that every wallpaper you see on that site is specifically for OUR phone.
So go check it out!!
I should also add that they do seem to update there selection regularly.
Nice Score Bro. Thanks for sharing.
