Hey guys!
I'm sure we all love that brilliant screen on the galaxy nexus. So in this thread I would like each person to post their current homescreen (or wallpaper) along with their FAVORITE source for wallpapers!
I always get my wallpapers from Wallpaper Casa HD. ;-)
Little TARDIS love I usually just Google what I'm looking for at the time.

There's a pretty cool one I used called earth rotation. It's very nice BUT severe battery drain so I had to uninstall

DualBoot Games has nice relaxing sceneries with weather and day/night cycle.
Galaxy s3 got few goodlooking live wallpapers from what I saw in one of android central articles. Hopefully some ninja can extract it and post the apk here.

I highly recommend Torment live wallpaper from Android Wax. Probably the best live wallpaper I have ever seen. They have some of the best free live wallpapers too. Not sure why they don't get a lot of recognition on Google Play because I have never seen them as an app of the month. You should also try Car locator by Edward Kim. That app has become very useful to me.
Here is a link to Android Wax

Logcat live wallpaper is my favorite. Let's me see if something is going down, and helps me identify issues that I otherwise wouldn't know about

I had Gate of Time on my HTC Sensation, loved that wallpaper!!!
It was freezing up on my HOx though and I couldn't stand it!
also I've got custom icons and it wouldn't look right...
Still, great wallpaper!

I've just installed Shadow Galaxy! Looks amazing!!!!
That and Gate of Time get my vote for best wallpapers!
Isn't it a battery drainer though?
Hi,
I recently bought Galaxy Nexus and installed couple of Live Wallpapers.
I noticed extreme lag after setting wallpapers. The transition fps from page to page is drastically dropped.
Live Wallpapers tested with....
1. Fresh Leaves
2. Luma Live wallpaper
3. Deap Sea and Luminous dots (Galaxy S III - Apps downloaded from this forum.)
Does anyone has this problem? Is there any defect on ICS 4.0.4?
same here, seems like phase beam is the only one that's smooth
Why is this in themes and apps and not in questions and answers? This is a question.... and you eve checked the "is this a question" box....

I was always having that problem too, even in 4.0.2 :/ im android 4.0.4 right now

Well i got lag even with stock LWs , the only one smooth is Phase Been...

It's a known bug. Phase beam is the only one that is optimized for the Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
If you disable wallpaper scrolling it would decrease the lag.. Most Roms have that option.. And launchers.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
It all depends on the live wallpaper. Even stock ones aren't optimized. Confounds me why Google would put live wallpapers on a phone that lag. Anyway look through the market. There are tons of nice ones that have 0 lag and are butter smooth.

Rays of light and Vortex galaxy are my 2 favorite.

Ahmato's suggested solution has been working for me for weeks. Just disable wallpaper scrolling.
Sent from the future.
I can confirm that turning off wallpaper scrolling makes no noticeable difference.
I really wish that google would address this issue.
I said this before in another thread. What I noticed is that the phone puts the lwp before the launcher. As the launcher lags the lwp stays the same. When comparing to my ns4g I noticed its reversed If the lwp is to much for the phone the lwp lags and not such the launcher.

Both seem to lag on mine. Even with things turned off...
Edit: dumbed down vortex galaxy enough to make it smooth... I'm loving it.

I can confirm that it does. Holo spiral and nexus revamped has always lagged until I disabled wallpaper scrolling in apex launcher.
For example, phase beam doesn't move around when scrolling, does it?
Not trying to start some pointless argument, just pointing out that it does work for many.

IMO Galactic core is the best, but also I like Blue skies and Fresh leaves a lot.
Just bought True Weather LWP and it's definitely one of the most beautiful wallpapers I've ever seen. There also a free version for testing.
Nice Setting
Try My Beach HD LWP.:good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dualboot.apps.beachfree&feature
Give "Mystic Halo" a go, if you like a simple dark wallpaper ..just installed it today..
Thanks everyone for so many suggestions!
i think the original is the best.:good:
Can anyone point me to a space/cosmology-oriented live wallpaper? I'd only use a live one if I could get something of that theme, would appreciate it, thanks!
Apart from the 'Galactic Core' one already mentioned, try 'Asteroid Belt Free' and 'Shadow Galaxy'.
'Quads' is awesome, although it can be slow in some situations.
City at Night
Microbes
Black Hole
Space Robot
Mario

Silhouette
Use Force Fields . You can put it on top of any image and it looks awesome.
Not only it is very light on battery , the fact that you can change the image keeping the live feeling is awesome.
Stripe ICS LWP
Currently I am using the Galactic Core one, which looks fantastic on the S3 <3 I have tried a lot of LWP but I get bored of them.
Not one to post up live wallpapers but this is pretty dang cool.. Its called "Pixel Fleet" and its basically little pixel ships in space battling it out and can also be set to Daydream on Android 4.2+
No lag whatsoever on CM 10.1
Search Play Store for Pixel Fleet, free and paid version $99C
