[Q] Non processor intensive live wallpapers?

Hi Everyone,
I've been testing live wallpapers recently and I've noticed that most of them increase CPU load by an unjustifiable amount (either in terms of high CPU usage or decreased UI responsiveness).
Is anyone aware of any minimalistic live wallpapers that don't cause the abovementioned issues?
Thanks!

I'd like to hear about this as well.
So many live wallpapers don't get the concept of a "background." They're cool to look at once, and that's it. Why do live wallpapers have to mean dead battery?

When I used to use the default android launcher I used to use lwps and not really experience any lag or high battery drainage. I used live walls like nexus, seeds of life, sense, and more. The most battery drainage came from kittyface or whatever they're called. Launchers like ads and launcher pro are pretty much incompatible with any lwp. I experience so much lag if I even try to use it.

I'm using the on with the waiving grass and that goes dark at night. Don't notice a lot of battery drain from it.

I saw that one aswell, the grass one. Not noticing any drain.

That's cos it doesn't do anything - a few blades of grass move now and again
I think this is yet another area where Android's promise is not backed up by it's capabilities. I'm not a programmer, but surely graphic work like this should be handled by the GPU? Oh no, we don't have proper GPU hardware acceleration everywhere yet (like every other decent platform) :-(

Actually, i have used the Beautiful Widget Live weather wallpaper. This one has the grass but also you can see clouds when the actual weather is cloudy, etc. It's pretty sweet.
Just a quick example:

the fact that you are still using a task manager, shows me your non technical attitude.
he was not asking for any live wallpaper, but for the ones not using too much cpu...
the beautifull widgets lwp drains battery and causes quite some lags.
its nice but is the exact opposite of what he asked for.

Yes, I am an Android newbie (user since january 2011), and maybe your right about the drainage and lag (hardly ever used the wallpaper before, but I didn't notice it drain that much and hardly noticed any of the lag). I just tried to be helpful, your reaction is a bit harsh.

It does look nice. But hardly eye-candy that you would show off to your mates, like Solar Winds LWP, which is my favourite

Using MIUI and never get lag. Using beautiful livewallpaper. Lol been an android user from the very start of G1.

I've come to enjoy Day of Ubuntu. It's not killer on the battery, and for me personally, it seems to make ADW-EX run smoother than a normal non-live wallpaper. Then again, it isn't constantly moving like other live ones, but it's pretty minimalist in that there isn't too much going on.

popsquares...wave live wallpaper... theres a hexagonal one thats like popsquares none of those take too much power or anything and they can be as intrusive or as un-intrusive?? as you want them to be

[Q] How to get the most of out Gnex Battery

So I've tried various things, disabled apps I don't use such as Email, Exchange Services, News and Weather, and even disabled the Gallery app and using QuickPic instead (on GB, Gallery was known to waste battery for no reason). Also turned off data and connected via 2G only to save battery, have brightness the lowest possible, turned off auto sync, and yet, still don't have near as good battery life as on my GB running LG G2x.
So my question is, what do you guys do to get as much battery life as possible?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP+Franco

airplane mode...
jk. what kind of battery life are you getting? Maybe run stock?

Ha it seems to not have to do with the wireless settings at all, drains either way.
And with GB on LG G2x, got 12 hours of constant, heavy use. Music, XDA, Pulse, FB, some gaming, texting all day, definitely used my phone.
Now, with AOKP+Franco, getting around 8 hours of light usage, just messaging and music. Wi-fi on for not even an hour, and didn't play with it much.
And maybe I'll give that a try, I just love all the options in AOKP.

I'm in the same boat. My friends are on stock and claim they get much better battery life. I'm on AOKP with Franco and seem to be the same but I might give it a try... but love the little tweaks of AOKP that I probably won't

Might try Apex, battery lasted nicely if I remember correctly the few hours I ran stock. Apex is basically stock, with tweaks and customization.
I know for most phones, AOSP and similar based roms almost never provide as much battery life as the stock software w/wo tweaks. There are some exceptions, but maybe ICS is different. Going to flash Apex and tell you how it goes tomorrow.

I was actually just reading a thread someone posted about this. This guy has some pretty good instructions, I would read this:

Yeah there's nothing you can really do man. SAMOLED just takes up so much more battery than our old G2X's IPS. That's pretty much the only difference. Probably nothing web can do. I bought 3 spare 1750mAH batteries plus an external charger all for 13 bucks to compensate. That's the only way for me to fix my battery issues.

Oled uses more energy than LCD. You fell for the marketing. They are relying too heavily that black doesn't use energy but who uses all black screen?

That's crap, this is literally the first time I've seen anyone say this since I got my Vibrant. Seems like they tricked so many people...
That's true, I keep try to keep everything dark, gonna have to invest in a extended battery I guess.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running Apex

It is what it is. It could improve in the future, but oled has more visual advantages than LCD. I wouldn't get my panties in a was over it though. And just to throw it out there, bigger pled screens use more energy than a comparable LCD because of the pixels that are lit. The LCD screen is more constant because of back light.
...of the people, by the people, for the people...

Thanks for that, will definitely keep that mind when buying a new phone down the road. Hopefully not too soon.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running Apex

It appears that at lower brightness values, it's not the screen that's causing power drain. Though indeed, current S-LCDs are about 3 times more efficient than OLEDs when displaying white at same brightness.

not bad for me

Annoyances - moved from iPhone

First, let me say up front I do not regret giving up my iPhone for the SGN2. I love this phone!
But it is not perfect. Some of my annoyances may very well be things about Android I just haven't learned yet. If that's the case, please educate me! Others are probably design or feature choices. If you know of a workaround, please share it.
1. No consistent, simple way to jump to the top of a list, page, or screen. I enabled the double-tap on the top of the phone (Settings | System | Motion | Double-tap to top) but that only works in a very few places. With the iPhone, tapping the top edge of the display provided a consistent solution.
2. I expected with the large display and high resolution to have more screen real estate on which information would be displayed. Instead all the display items (buttons, text boxes, etc.) are larger and the "Tiny" font isn't really. Sometimes I feel like I bought a remedial phone, kind of like the big print version of Readers Digest.
3. Along the same lines, why is it I can't find widgets that I can resize smaller in order to fit more information on my home screen?
4. Inflated ratings on the apps in the Play Store. Are there any 2-star rated apps? I've tried some 3- and 4-star rated apps that I would have rated no higher than 2-stars. But I have to say there certainly aren't any over-priced apps that I have run across.
5. There are Android ports or equivalents to almost all the apps I used regularly on my iPhone, but I'm sad I haven't found substitutes for some. I used Guitar Toolkit every day (for both guitar & ukulele). Thanks to forums I have found some lesser substitutes, but why do they all use midi sounds instead of actual samples of guitar & uke strings? I haven't found a substitute yet for iTunes but am still looking. And I have just begun my search for an equivalent to Camera+.
I really am fond of this phone, annoyances and all. To me, this is what the Apple Newton (anyone remember that?) would have been if Apple (Steve Jobs, actually) hadn't dropped the product after 2-3 years. I loved my Newtons which has caused me to form a strong emotional bond to this phone.
Anyone have their own annoyances--or solutions for mine?
Doug

1. There might be some application for this. Possibly. I'm not entirely sure. Android however, has complete flick scrolling. All you have to do is give it sufficient momentum, and you can fly to the top or bottom no problem. But I guess that isn't a solution really.
2 & 3. There isn't really an answer for this yet. It's bothering a lot of people. Once we get AOSP, we will hopefully get a port of ParanoidAndroid. Which will fix your issue. You can always turn down the LCD density in the build prop. But doing so will break most applications. You should be safe with setting it to 240.
4. The variety of Android phones is immense. And as such, people moving from an older model and installing the applications they are familiar with will notice an increase in performance from that application. People aren't looking at the quality of the application, but at how it affects them and their experience with it. Which is the only explanation for why Advanced Task Killer is still popular. Ignorance.
5. That happens. Some you won't find something that lives up to the iOS equivalent. Yet I've found applications that are on Android that are incredible and don't have a good iOS equivalent. Namely, PicsArt.
I don't like that the headphone jack is on the top.
And I really liked the backing and sides on the Galaxy Nexus, which I switched from to this phone. Really plasticky, not that I'm complaining. I just really enjoyed the feel of the Galaxy Nexus
I'm glad you like the phone. Be wary though, there are plenty of people on this site with an extreme hate for Apple and it's products. Though this particular forum is really well behaved, and I've only met nice people thus far. I haven't seen people attack each other for their beliefs or past yet. Knock on wood. Haha hope that helps, even though I only offered one solution to your issues.

Try a different launcher like Nova or Holo. This will at least fix your issue with not being able to resize widgets, and will also give you a lot more homescreen real estate.

Neither the iPhone 5 nor the iPad Mini measured up to what I was reading about in the Android world. And there was no turning back once I saw the specs and video reviews of the SGN2!
I may be late to the party but I've got my dancing shoes on now!

Yeah pressing the top is one of the most wanted features for me, at least when you flicker you finger faster then normal it goes up quicker or down so the helps in the browser. About the screen real state is really annoying to have only 4 apps down and 4 to the side I rooted my device mostly to help someone and put a mod for the screen, is better now

What do you think about the new Play Store?

I think the icons for the apps are way too big for our note. I personally think it was better before when we could actually see more apps before scrolling.

Eh... it definitely could show more on one page like it did before. I rarely go through lists of apps except for when setting up my phone after a flash. I did end up turning my phone sideways and then it showed the apps list similar to how it did before

This design is good for the elderly and hard to see people. Kind of like the Big Launcher.
But for me, I would like to see more on one screen.

I prefer the previews version.

Not sure if it's possible but yeah, it would be neat if someone could maybe modify it.

So far I hate the new layout. I liked it better before
Sent from my Note II using XDA Premium

+1 many times on the previous version. When turning pages, icons seem way too big.
Someone on Google has an increased visual prescription :silly:

I don't care for it very much. Seems like a more childish version of the store, were as the previous version seemed more mature and had a nicer style to it.
I really hope this isn't what to expect for key lime pie
noted for future reference on my Note 2

I just went through every layout available with hybrid properties in Paranoid Android and I couldn't find one I don't hate.
The best looking one was actually the 360p, the others have even fewer apps per page.
What were they thinking?!

I don't like it. Looks like the play store lost it edge. It's to big, to immature looking, and if it could display all my previous purchases that would be great.

I think the previous purchases are there. Just that the icons are 1000x bigger.

It's horrible for reasons mentioned. I tried it in a early release and quickly switched back to my modded version. Just look for modded versions and find one that doesn't auto update. I imagine they will become more popular soon enough. It was such a bad choice that I hope that dept or designer gets fired. What a sh!theaded move...

You'd think that they could come up with something better...

Or hit by a bus. It is complete and utter crap. You'd think they'd have learned from seeing Microsoft suffer with Win 8. Don't make massive UI changes that people can't opt out of. Yes I know you can access the desktop in W8, but you need Classic Shell or other stuff to get a proper start menu.

Yup... Same reason why I'm stickin with my Win7/Linux setup for a couple of more years. I was kinda excited initially but got turned off the more and more they released hints and sneak peaks for 8. I haveven considered a iMac. I helped purchase and setup one for my in-laws. Yup they're old and technologically inept lol! I wanted to sandbox them without worrying about too many viruses. Last model winxp they had (too cheap to run decent antivirus) drove me insane. My dad (graphics artist) has been preaching the praises of apple for years (way before iPod was a twinkle in Steve Job's brain) and has one also. I have to admit it is pretty nice for some things but is still too limited IMHO. Thinking about EVER owning an Apple product makes me cringe no offense cause some of em are great products just too hipster and limited in capacity.
Back to Playstore (still think the name change was stupid)... Maybe they could make it have different file views like file explore r or multiple views based on DPI a compromise next UI overhaul. I wonder sometimes if Google is making poor choices the more mature Android gets. Over simplifying things just because of the fact that a few critics claim Android is too complicated isn't a great thing. Sometimes things get more confusing and lose fuctionality in the process of simplification. Thank goodness this just a isolated case with playstore and maybe a couple of things for now. It could be way worse. Android is still the greatest mobile player around but they better continue to listen to the little guy and developers especially on the eve of Ubuntu Mobile which could take a piece of the pie.

im very happy with it they removed the dumb ass page after installing / updating apps :good:

The store seems to be going downhill ever since they renamed it from Google Market to Play Store.

it doesnt bother me. It looks much better inverted though. . I wish Google would bring back the purchased tab

Display is the best yet i have owned. Love running it at 100% lol
Speed. No lag its so quick. S4 lagged to hell.
LG launcher / Skin is very nice and so fast.
Bootloader locked. No messing with roms.
What I dislike:
Not much. Maybe the video 1080p quality. But recent updates have improved it.

The customizations are insane....I've changed icons to be background pictures so you can't even see them.. Look at the two trees....
