Excellent suggestion! Great walls in the app! Now to find one for ringtones.
I've used Google Wallpapers and enjoy the ones they provide. Downside is they do not update or add any new ones.
I would highly recommend Muzei. It's a live wallpaper app that changes your wallpaper at whatever interval you want from whatever source you want. It allows dimming And blur effects. Very cool, highly recommend it with Vitrina (which gets pictures from reddit).
This one is a good one, walls & ringtones.

Recently I use Backdrops or Stokie.
Does any of these app have good live wall paper for the lock screen?

I have uploaded some wallpapers to my phone and for some reason it doesn't really take advantage of the high res screen when i set them as wallpapers. I downloaded this app called HD Wallpapers in the Market and every single wallpaper they have available come out very clear and crisp on the Atrix screen. Download it and see for yourself!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.srsdev.wallpapers&feature=search_result
FYI The wallpaper size on the Atrix is 1080x960 which is slightly different than other android phones. If you take a slightly larger image, and resize it in photoshop - you can get it to display as a wall without cropping/distortion.
I'm getting a ton of random FC's from that app
"Wallpaper Set & Save" does an excellent job of setting wallpapers without making them look resized and crappy. I used it on my Captivate, didn't expect it to work on the Atrix yet...but it works perfectly.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/wallpaper-set-and-save/com.android.wallpapersetandsave
It works with all image files, but I've noticed PNG files look the best.
Tried Wallpaper set & save, but found the pics to be even more pixelated than using stock wallpaper setup. On top of that, it does not scan my sd card, only the internal phone storage (although it mistakenly calls it sdcard).
I haven't tried HD wallpaper, but I tend to use my own wallpapers so that won't really help
Runs like a charm

Same here. I still use it from time to time. I like their selection.
One of the best ways to get HD wallpapers is with AndWobble. Even if you don't use it for its intended entertaining purpose, you can use it to set images as wallpapers, and it does it without cropping/pixelating.
They just updated this app. So much better now.
for the life of me i cant figure out how to add wallpaper to my nook tablet. it either stretches it or cuts it off. I'm sure its something I'm just overlooking but it's driving me crazy. thanks for the help..
Are you using the correct sized wallpaper? I don't recall the actual size but it's listed in Themes and Apps thread.

Welcome to XDA - As a noob here, you are granted one favor. This was it. Next time all you need do is search.

If you mean you don't want your pictures cropped like the stock gallery makes you do, I recommend checking out an app called QuickPic from the Android Market. The app is free and it lets you have better control of how much of the wallpaper picture you want to show.
I was looking for correct wallpaper sizes and stumbled across this site. Nice selection. And free.

I've been using the PicSpeed wallpaper app to both download and apply HD wallpapers. They have a pretty good selection of papers and using the app to apply the wallpaper changes seems to result, to me at least, to be much better resolution and cropping.
I absolutely love this theme, been using it since the day it came out.
Have one problem I can't figure out. On the music page, no matter which player I've tried, amazon mp3, Google Music, or power amp, it will not show the album art or the track an artist information.
The only modification I've done to the theme was to unlock the widgets so I could delete Instagram. I don't use it.
Oh, maybe it would be a good idea to release an update for this skin with the Xbox 1 SmartGlass app added to it. I've added the shortcut in place of the Instagram one, but it won't Center in that window.
Thanks for the great work. Love this app.

Thanks for the Smart Glass addition, will speak to the team! Regarding the music widget (we're guessing you're running KitKat, let us know if you're not) there should be an update soon for it. KitKat is giving us a lot of hassles :silly:
Yes, on my Nexus 5.
You guys are great, thanks!
Found this a couple days ago and its fantastic!
Looks great and scales perfectly to our notes!
You can make your own material like wallpaper with the pro version.

Thanks for this - it is an awesome LWP and so customisable. Love it!
thanks man.

Thanks for this tip...very nice indeed! What I really like is the option to use the backgrounds static as well.
A further tip : if you want the Minima background for lockscreen as well, then first set the background of your choice with Minima and afterwards do the standard way for changing wallpaper on the phone, choose both background and lockscreen and then choose Minima and choose set background. That way you'll have the Minima background as both wallpaper and lockscreen.
Glad you guys like it
Is the work of Josh Oleksyn ,all those material walls posted on the wallpapers threads were done with his app Minima - awesome app!
Minima Moving Material Design is also his work
JokoInteractive
I've had this for a while. I got the Pro version. Worth ever penny.
This is very nice, thanks for sharing.

This LWP is high resources demanding. My N4 became laggy after use it.

No problem at all on my Note4. Btw you also have the option (settings in Minima) to save the wallpaper. Afterwards go the normal Note4 route for changing wallpaper and lockscreen background. That way you don't need to use the Minima app.

hi
i agree with @daffie post above .I have been using Minima Pro ( Joko Interactive ) for sometime now and have no issues with Minima causing lag or any excessive battery drain , etc , etc . .(I have also used Joko interactive other live wallpapers eg. Paperlands Pro and have no issues.with it )
good luck
So since themer seems to be dead (no updates and the app doesnt load themes etc.) what would be the best alternative launcher? And i'm not talking about nova launcher or something like that because nova launcher doesnt change the homescreen the way themer does. The one alternative i found is Buzz Launcher but are there any others?
I had the same question and have not been able to find an alternative.
The problem is that we can no longer load the themes.
Is there a way to download them ourselves and manually install in Themer?

It used to be possible. But you had to download them off the site. But the site itself is quite broken, and google says it may have been hacked.
You could use some other sites to get the direct download link. E.g. I got this Mosaic theme from Lifehacker. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/94231qd5cs8hmiv/AACtRG8aIoO0AC85PfzTBpqda?dl=0

Buzz launcher was similar to themer. Have not tried it in a very long time though. Have no clue how it has changed since.
Just saw it , themer is no longer being updated, mycolorscreen is offline. I can recreate all the themes in total/lightning launcher but I need screenshots. Anyone has screenshots?

You could really do this?
The theme I am still using and love is `Tree2`. A screenshot from google image search is at:
http://mycolorscreen.com/wp-content/uploads/homescreens_2012/312318/App Tree2New_original.jpg
(No idea how as the rest of the site is down)
You click the icons in the tree to open them, but some give the option of opening multiple things, like the people icon. The charging bar was kinda cool too.
Look forward to seeing how you go 8)
Cheers

I use klwp from play store is amazing i left buzz and themer long time ago didn't seem very useful to me anymore
KLWP when used alongside NOVA Launcher Prime is an excellent choice both for designers & enthusiasts. You can customize and build your own home screen with animations and actions triggered by click, slide, or any other action possible on an android.
I would definitely suggest KLWP as the best and only alternative.
Have no clue how it has changed since.
Does anyone know how's the battery consume in KLWP? I'm thinking it may consume more battery because of being 'LIVE' Wallpaper.

The live wallpaper is active only when you're watching it. If you're using other apps, it should be fine.
