On 2.2 are disabled..i asked babijoee on 2.1 were enabled but now i don't know
Yea, they're not exactly ready for our device. One step at a time, it's not like everything is just going to magically work all at once.
Also, please don't create other threads when there are several you could've posted this in...
if you really want to use live wallpapers then you have to install the apk in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5877130&postcount=2592
fyi, most live wallpapers won't work and even if they do, the whole system will become really slow. have fun
sorry iam new to desire but has any one noticed a lag during scrolling in sense apps drawer when using live wallpapers on the latest froyo espcially the water one ( not a big lag but some ) but allot slower than static wallpapers
any one
I can't find an app called app drawer. can you provide link and I will download and test

Hi again, I can confirm there is noticiable slowdown when using the water theme. Very minor but still there! Using the stock Sense Live Wallpaper I get smooth and fast scroll. Using Water Live Paper I get a slower and slightly rough scroll
Is there any fix for that
not that i know for sure but!. from a programmer point of view i would imagine that the phone is processing the ripples of the water even when it is not displaying them, hence the slowdown. I think a fix would need to come from HTC. However there are some really clever buggers on here and I am happy to be corrected on this.
Okay, I know there is an app to select different wallpapers for each screen, and some launchers even support this, but what i want is a little different.. I use 5 screens with 3 as Main/Home... I was wondering if its possible for 2, 3, 4 to be a Live wallpapers, then 1 & 5 as seperate images.
Reasoning: I love my current LWP (eastern something.. with firefly's) and it looks great with all my widgets, but I want screen 5 for my personal stuff, and want a pic of my wife for the background. Screen 1 I wanted for config options, so something like a circuit board or Andy would be more appropriate
Any suggestions?
should note, I'm usng CM7 Nightly #27 if that makes a diff
Is there an app to get regular wallpapers on multiple screen , i mean like a different regular wall paper on each screen ? . I looked in the Market and i only see multiple screen live wallpapers .I'm using a droid X .
I would say the launcher needs to support this which to my knowledge, non of them do. To be honest, having 3 live wallpapers as a background would consume to much battery power, prob 200mA+ which is a lot. You can have a look around and talk to a dev but I doubt there is anything out there.
Ok thanks man .

no i wanted just one live WP spread across screens 2, 3, 4.. like how a normal LiveWP is displayed, and just regular WP's for 1 and 5. I was afraid someone would say it needed launcher support I'm using LauncherPro Plus atm.. maybe it will be added in the future
Ah right, misinterpreted that, sorry. Yeh I don't think nothing like that exists yet. You would have to talk to the dev for LauncherPro or which ever launcher and see if they will add it.
I'm interested in getting the Ocean waves live wallpaper on my Galaxy S2, the one that Samsung Galaxy S originally had by default. Found it on the market, but it doesn't work. It crashes before loading when i try to select it. Is there anyone that has a working version or can anyone report that it works on their Galaxy S2 ? Thanks

I'm suffering the same problem as well. I contacted the samsung apps, but no one replies.
that wallpaper is really amazing
help please
some dev can port it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
yes the ace users also want this live wallpaper .... so we r with u
+1. Me too !
I have an evo shift, and I loved this wallpaper as well when I had android 2.2. Unfortunately, when I upgraded to 2.3.3 it stopped working, same force close error. I read somewhere else that this is because the libraries that this wallpaper uses are incompatible with android 2.3.... Also, because I am not a developer and know nothing about programming these things, I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. I'm hoping that somebody can get this wallpaper working on 2.3 soon, because it is beautiful and I would love to be able to use it again.
Great substitute for Ovean Waves live wallpaper
Since I haven't been able to find a working version either, I came up with a substitute.
Install Touch Ripples from app market. Be sure to get the paid app so you can change the background picture.
Set ocean waves.jpg (attached) as background within the wallpaper app. Move the size sliders (at top) all the way to the right for the best picture.
You'll want to play with the settings to get the ripples just right. At least we can have a look-a-like until samsung updates the wallpaper app.
+1 for ocean waves
This is the best live wallpaper
It rocks very very nice wallpaper, thanks!
I miss all of the SGS wallpapers. This, Aurora and Blue Sea

This and Beach live too!!!
I miss those wallpapers too!
Ive loved the Samsung LWP since the original Galaxy S...essentially the issue with many of these ported Samsung LWP is that they do not work at all on 2.3 and will only work with 2.2. I have tried several ways to try to install them however as far as I know looking at other threads regarding to these LWP is that the Samsung LWP was relatively integrated into their framework, in part with TouchWiz, therefore cannot be ported easily. HTC Sense is also relatively the same with only one that I know of which works perfect with 2.3 but requires relative changes to the root of the phone (does not work on Samsung but worked on all other HTCs). All the others FC unfortunately.
Koi free live wallpaper is equally good and its free.
Nice water effect.

Hello Guys,
This can be worked in ODEXED build roms only. The name of Wallpaper is "Secretwallpaper1.apk" with a odex file(I have renamed to .txt, please rename to .odex extn). Find the attached file & push both files in /System/app with rights of -rw-r--r--. then reboot.
If anyone can Deodexed the apk then it will be wonderful.
Hope it will work.
Hey y'all.
I did a search and didn't find anything.
I was wondering if there were any possible way to get the pink Galaxy live wallpaper and the Grass live wallpaper. Those were pretty much my two favorites and they're not included on ICS.
Thank you and merry Christmas all.

I'm sure if you google it, you can find the .apk files for those and install them regularly on your phone and use them

I don't think it's a separate apk like the others are. I think it's bundled together with an apk called Android Live Wallpapers 2.2. I did a titanium backup from my moms Vibrant and plan on trying to load the apk but I'm reluctant in fear of screwing something up. An alternative would be the Live Wallpaper from Beautiful Widgets and it's the exact same thing. Tried it myself and it ran like **** and lagged like hell.

I got the apk files from the nexus one thread and tried to install the apk file in system/apk (root), it tells me it will copy over (join) the files. Opening live wallpapers.... nothing happend. So disapointed. Im going to look if i can make a galaxy apk myself. But im by no means a coder so don't hold your breath.
Any luck finding it?
Did anyone manage to get the grass livewallpaper in ICS?
I just took a screenshot of the Beautiful Widgets Grass Live Wallpaper, cropped it and used that instead. Saves battery and looks good to me!
I just like that the background changes color during the day. During the day it's nice and bright and easy to see but at night the background is dim so I don't piss off my gf in bed.
Does it really use that much battery? Anyone know of any other backgrounds that change color? I don't really care about the grass moving.
bring back the grass! galaxy was pretty cool too. ive been trying to find these to but can only ever find ones which want to replace system application which sounds a bit dodgy.
