SHIELD TV 8.2+ build- any hope for LIVE WALLPAPERS ? - Shield Android TV Android Development

has anyone gotten LIVE WALLPAPERS to work on a SHIELD TV (2015,2017,2019 build8.2+)?

waste of cpu/gpu time.

ok, so not many enjoy it, or consider it a waste.
i was just curious, if its possible. i really only want the RADAR LIVE WALLPAPER, as its light on memory, and its nice to have a constant radar map up. (storms can be quite rough, so radar is helpful) is it possible to re-enable this , as i know the older builds had the option.
note: the RADAR LIVE WALLPAPER is a free app in the play store. ( this is also nice to have as a wallpaper, as its much faster to glance at a screen or tablet, than load a website for a live image- granted its not as high quality, it still helps one prepare for work when your job can be drastically altered by storms)

Best Live Wallpapers

Looking for a new live wallpaper (hooked on them at the min)
can someone recommend the best place to get them from or what there favs are
thanks
My fave is Quads. Search 'quads live wallpaper' in Android Marketplace.

i shall have a look
thank you
I quite like WP Clock. Not the most elaborate or exciting one in the world, but serves the purpose and looks nice doing so.
Does exactly what you'd expect; it's a digital readout of the time and date that overlays a static image from your gallery. Only real downside is that the static image doesn't scroll with your homescreens when you have this one active.
i like the matrix one,
i dont know y
i just like it, hehehh

any good suggestions on live wallpapers?

While I patiently wait for root, I have the customization bug, most wallpapers don't scale up to the high resolution screen well,does anyone have any suggestions on some good, colorful, live wp's for this phone? I currently run digital hive and solar winds. Thanks!
Don't waste your battery! lol, I never use those things. You can find regular 720p images in Google Search, DL and use!
I think these are pretty nice:
Exodus Live Wallpaper Market Link
ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper Market Link
Light Grid Pro Market Link
Also grab a custom launcher if you aren't rooted and want to customize, customize, customize (Go Launcher EX is great as well as ADW , if you haven't already).
WP Clock on the Amazon App Store is my fav!

Allowing Live Wallpapers on Rooted NT

If you keep access to the original Nook homescreen (stock) then when you longpress on it and click on wallpapers, you can install live wallpapers.
If you enable the live wallpaper from here, you can then see the live wallpaper on your other home replacement such as GoLauncherEX or ADW.
You must change the settings each time from the stock Nook homescreen.
I hope this helps you guys out if you were interested in running live wallpapers on your NT.

Nice find... I was getting ready to port android live wallpapers over, but this works fine.
***UPDATE***
Multipicture Live Wallpaper works great with this...
Exactly. Definitely wanted multipicture live.

Nice find, but if I'm not mistaken this will absolutely destroy your battery life -- given the screen size.
The nt supports lwp's anyway. I actually bought one frome the b&n store and the option appeared automatically to accommodate it.

I guess I don't understand how it works.
Do Live Wallpapers still keep consuming battery life when the screen is off?
On EInk displays any animation destroys battery life. It takes almost no current to maintain a static display.
Active displays like the Nook and Fire I would not expect a lot of difference in the display current draw for animations. The big deal here would be taking the processor out of idle to generate the changing display.
This would certainly be a fruitful area for a test. Love to hear the result!
And this is with the display on. Display off may shut down everything related to the screen.
Thank you. I was trying to figure this out. Should have known to look here first.

ps3 like live wallpaper frm market

Just thought I'd share this neat lil find with the community
This is a live wallpaper similar to the playstation 3 menu screen. With the waves. Has a few settings that add textures and multiple colours n best thing is it's free.
https://market.android.com/details?id=crazyzenlab.wavelivewallpaper.lite
It's like a cross between the PSP and PS3 one (i think)
The PSP one is more solid color like.
The PS3 one is more translucent and glass like.
But I'm working off memory, havnt touched my PSP/PS3 in a while (cant install android on them, well mabye some day on the psp with android/mips)
Wait, why does a LWP need course location access and full internet? They trying to track you down?
No idea prolly 3rd party bs. I just use droidwall n block most apps that don't need the net
The paid version has more features like making it auto change colors and lets u control the textures/speed and shake to change sorry if most this is also in the lite version. I paid the $1

[Q] Beautiful Widgets's Black-and-white screen?

Hello, does anyone here uses the app called Beautiful Widgets from Google Play by LevelUp Studio? In fact, I set their home screen live wallpaper, it was pretty cool, but I don't know why when in the evening (about 6:35pm), the live wallpaper begins to become black-and-white. The app says that it requires OpenGL in order to operate. Is it the app's problem or my device's problem. Thanks.
this app Does not work on Eris,
Hero and Moment!
Try to re install if not work
try to update it if it is up to date than
Try older version
Sometimes update makes many apps worst
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
Too bad, I just switch back too the stock Gingerbread grass's one. Thanks anyway.
Ha, by the way, I know why it is black-and-white. In fact, the wallpaper follows the current weather condition. It was black-and-white because yesterday was cloudy. I got it!
