Ill get started developing one, debating weather to make it free or 99 cents D:. I need the money bad.

Can any one give me some images to see what "Light cycles are?" I've never watched tron, but im sure i can work something out.

I think a 1 or 2 second looping light cycle scene would rock, if you can get the loop to be some what seamless, me love you long time!!
The problem with the one available in the market now is the video quality is poor and it plays slow too

There is....it's an app called Video Live Wallpaper, making video your wallpaper does have obvious device performance trade offs but it's not nothing too serious. Check it out.

Thank you. I downloaded the app, but it's not showing on my apps list I deleted LauncherPro to see if that was the issue, but using TW didn't find it either. I've reset and still no luck, yet when I go into AppMonster, it says it's installed, but I can't launch it.
EDIT: Got onto the makers website and figured out that I needed to go into the Live Wallpapers like I did before and go from there. Thanks again.

Kind of got one made. Had to use the download app mentioned in the thread, but i think it came out pretty well.

Wasnt really thinking about uploading. Got it done pretty quickly, and trying to make an interactive version if i have time. Might upload the file on xda once work settles down.

perfect...........I cant wait for them movie to come out

I'd like that wallpaper if you ever post it up.

For anyone interested in trying to make one yourself I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720676&highlight=create+live+wallpaper
Looks like it would be fun to play around with. I haven't tried it yet myself though.

So far, I haven't found any reason to root this phone. It kicks so much ass out of the box! Samsung really listened, and gave us everything.

For some reason it keeps taking a picture of my recent Apps. Maybe I'm not timing it right

Well... I can think of a few reasons but the one reason I'm really itching for is bc all my app data is backed up with Ti Backup and you need root to restore. Seriously, not starting over on all my games.

Always wondered if you can backup with ti on one phone and restore on another. I guess you can.

Main reason for me to root if for wifi tethering and custom roms.

I install all my Apps from the market and only restore data on games and Apps that aren't essential. The email and settings and stuff change from phone to phone so you can run into trouble if you restore everything.

Um what? The functionality accessed by Power+Home is a screenshot.

Oooooh. Ok, so I a an android n00b. Nothing to see here, move along folks. Seriously, what screen was he looking at when he took the screen shot? As I spent 20 minutes trying to bring up that screen by pressing the power button and home button at the same time. At least I am not as bad as the guy who couldnt figure out how to open his brand new notebook because the manufacturer's logo was upside down (so it is right side up when the notebook is open and running) and he called Amazon and then the manufacturer for support before figuring it out. Left all of this information in a review that was captured on an Epic Fail website.

Any good apps to manage battery life?

And no I'm not talking about Juice Defender. I'm looking for something that'll allow me to see which apps are keeping the phone awake and use the most battery life. Something is making my battery drain and I'm not sure what it is. There are people on here going 18+ hours with 5 hours screen time and still having 10% left. I typically get 2 hours of screen time before I'm dead. Check out my stats from today. I hardly even used the phone at all!
I've set all of the apps I actually use to sync on 1 hour or longer intervals. Nothing is syncing in 5 minute intervals or something.

I'm on AT&T and generally have close to full coverage. I'm never really in an area where I have poor reception. I'm on Wifi a good amount too.

I had the same problem (Android OS using HEAPS of battery)
update to ITL41F (ROM) & XXKK6 (Radio)
makes a world of difference - HEAPS!!

maybe try system panel but I don't think it works on pics yet.

it shows in market so give it a whirl.

I'm on a witch hunt for a battery drainer right now as well.
Check out this screenshot... as soon as I turn on Wi-Fi, the "Awake" line becomes very active. Been going through the running apps, and killing off apps every 15-30 min to see when it stops.

Hmm. I noticed on yours that the phone is awake even when the screen is off. On mine the phone is only awake when the screen is on.

Watchdog in the market will tell you what app is running in the background. When I push home instead of back when I use Dolphin Browser, watchdog tells me its running in the background.

Yeah it's suspiciously busy when the screen is off. I just removed all widgets and uninstalled the Weather Channel app. Things have improved a little.

Dude my battery life is even worse than yours. I am so frustrated too.

Holy cow. I just found out one of my widgets was updating on 5 second intervals. Changed it to 1000 seconds, hopefully that has a decent impact.

Ummm.... full to %29 in 2.15 hours with the screen off the whole time. Any insight?

What rom/kernel are you using?

Use an app like BetterBatteryStats to help determine what apps may be holding wakelocks and preventing your phone from getting into a deep sleep state.

Newest gummy with everything it comes with. Let me check the other app to see what's up

I think it's the 4.0.4 base band... just noticed I'm not getting a signal inside my building at all...

Hmm maybe not. I though new gummy was 4.0.4 base guess not...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Your weak cell signal might be the culprit.

I haven't seen the battery drop that much due to no signal, it does but not by that much in that time. I would use BetterBatteryStats to diagnose...

Looks like your phone took an arrow to the knee.

Can someone post a market link for better battery stats? Couldn't see it. Also in the pic I have weak signal. At my desk I have none at all... but this is only as of today. Last gummy version didn't have this issue

You can also get BetterBatteryStats (and a lot of information on the app and how to use it) here on XDA. The author posted an xda-specific version of the app here.

I was very frustrated with battery life too until I flashed Gummy's NEX ROM. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401633) I now can go at least 18 hrs on a single charge with the bigger battery and average to heavy usage.

Bit off topic, but is the GN generally good for battery? Or do a lot of people get the issue from the first post?

Sucky battery is the only pitfall of the GN IMO.

Any chance of testing another battery? This could be a hardware (battery) issue rather than software and rogue apps.
I had a battery do this on another device... Less than two hours of non-usage and it would die. Replacing it solved my problem.

Like most other powerful Android devices, it really depends on your usage. It's real easy to burn through the battery if you use your device heavily. It's also pretty simple to get decent battery life if you use the device more reasonably.
I will say that the drainage in the OP looks quite aggressive. I wouldn't consider that normal or average by any means.

My cell signal is almost always like that and even under use it doesnt drop that fast.

learn to find out why and fix it, android rewards ppl for doing specifically that.

Greenify!

not my app, i stumbled across this app referenced here in xda somewhere. it puts any user apps in hibernation until they are called, reducing background processes from wut i can tell so far..drastically. obviously every device is different as is every user experience, but i think its worth a shot. wayy better than battery guru by qualcomm for sure..
here is the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify

Trying it out now.
Thanks!!
Just put all my social media apps in hibernation mode and gonna see how things go.

This app does really work miracles...

So it does exactly what the iPhone does in saving a lot of battery life but...(as so many Android fans claim) not being a true multitasker. I came from an iPhone 4 and I'd take this over losing 2-3% of battery life per hour. Too bad it requires root.

If your losing 2-3% an hour its your own fault, choose your apps better. Stock android gets at *least* 2 hours per percent while idle... you installed something you shouldnt have.

Besides no multitasking
The screen is tiny, No location services (Google Now, Maps, etc..)
No Overclocking... There is plenty more.
But if you're loosing 2-3% something is wrong with your phone. My phone last a good 14 hours with about 3-5 hours screen time alone. You're in a website where the majority of the things will need root. Lol

No way does stock android do that well. There are plenty of battery issue threads in this forum, highlighting the unfortunate massive drain. My battery life is, in comparison to most here, better than average. Nonetheless, there is definitely a drain per hour, perhaps closer to 2%.

Yes way it does... lol... its a fact dude. Flash back to stock and load nothing but your google account. Whatever you've gotta tell yourself though. I laugh at people with battery problems on android, its all your own doing. :laugh:
