[Q] Black Wallpaper? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Is there a wall paper that has all the background LED's off?

Download zedge from the market and search for dark or power saving wallpapers.

Thanks!

If you flash the Darkside Digital Warfare ROM there is an option under wallpaper for no wallpaper which will give you just a black screen.

I just took a picture with my finger over the camera. Then i set the black picture as my background. I think it looks really slick as it makes the whole phone look like a screen.

yeap Zedge ftw

ya if you pick no wallpaper its supposed to help increase battery life.

I tried looking for a few minutes.. no option to be wallpaper-less.

WP Clock Live wallpaper

Hopefully this is in the right place to post, but I had to share this for those that never heard of this live wallpaper.
Its easy on the battery since there's not alot moving, and overall just a nice informative wallpaper to have.
There's a free and paid version 65cents? Paid version doesn't really offer to much more than the free one, besides choosing a background and different color fonts and making the font move. But at 65cents not a bad deal I suppose.
Its called WP Clock on the market.
i just love WP Clock..
May I ask if anyone knows what is the widget that looks like the wallpaper with the clock and the tine n stuff but its a widget instead of a wallpaper.

Is this what you're looking for?
Been using this for a full month by now. It's by far the most useful/pretties widget replacing wallpaper I've yet to use.
And for its price, it's a steal.
this thing rocks... LOVE IT!!!
just bought wp clock and i must say it looks fantastic. one thing abt it though, i don't like how its a wallpaper so every homescreen's filled with the thing. really need the space on other homescreens for other stuff. if only they could make this into a widget. typoclock looks similar but i love the data connection and battery info. i tried using multi live wallpaper to have multiple wallpapers simultaneously but it doesnt support using a live wallpaper and a normal one from the gallery. so i guess im stuck, or has anyone found a solution for this yet?

the developer is really good at taking and implementing suggestions... I asked for drop shadow, but he wasn't able to figure that out, so he did the outline so I set my text to white (40% opaque) and outline to black (4pt 80% opaque) and it's almost as good as drop shadow... definitely gives enough contrast to where you can read it no matter what your background is... tell you what, I would actually like the same thing, so I will request it as well, and maybe we'll get it twice as fast =)

I'm not a big fan of a live wp. But I like the optimus 2 wallpaper the rain one and can't remember Tue name off the top of my head but Tue one where it uses all your pics on in your dcim folder and changes them. Like a digital picture frame.

There's also a DOOM lwp that's pretty easy on the battery. Plus that dev was making updates to the rendering engine every few days to better optimize it.

Wave Lite Live Wallpaper is great too. It's basically the PS3 live wallpaper, but on your phone. It also has good battery life because you can set the background to black, and the wave to white.

I have a few different favorite live wallpapers, as I have been using them for almost a year now (On one phone or the other). Most of them I see listed in the last few posts above me, but one I didn't see mentioned that I think is great, would be PhysX Pro Live wallpaper...
Physx Free/Pro live wallpaper is a bunch of configurable particles that bounce about around your screen. You can configure the colors of each particle, bounciness/rebound, size, and if you decide to turn attraction on, you can change the attraction/repulsion of each color of particle. If you don't want that, you can have them follow north on the compass, or just bounce around randomly. It looks really neat, and sort of high tech/sci-fi ish if your into that type of thing... definitly worth a look.

I like the camera live wallpaper. Lets me do things on my phone and I can see where I'm going. It eats up battery a bit, but with a 3300 MaH battery, that's not really a problem.

Question About Wallpaper

Which wallpaper brings the best battery life due to low display usage. Does black wallpaper help our phone? Also, is there a way to disable wallpapers and just have a black one by default in jellybean? Thanks.
yes the black one will help and yes there is a default option for 'no wallpaper' in JB(CM10)....
The lighter the color more battery. I usually use darker blues or Black's. Currently using this one. You can get all black ones but it looks weird haha. Stay away from white wallpapers or yellow if you want maximum battery

[Q] Black Theme for Note 8.0

I see the note 8.0 has white background and black fonts on most menus, including music player and settings menu, how can i change it so it look inverted, i want black backgrounds and white fonts on all this screens like on S4.
Is there a mod? or a way to change it, i want it to save battery life.
Black only saves color on AMOLED screens since it turns off the unused pixels, that's not the case with LCD screens. So if you're hoping to save battery, sorry to burst your bubble.

like the other person said.. this is NOT a AMOLED screen, not going to save you any battery...
But if you do want to mod that stuff... you can root your device and get Xposed framework.. and there are bunch of Xposed mod you can do to customize your experience
Thanks, i didn't know that, in that case i rather have white menus, easier to read

Live wallpapers that support the dark theme.

The title basically says it all. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any live wallpapers that can trigger the dark ui.
So far the only ones i know about are "Amoled" and "Galaxy", both by the same developer maxelus.net. They're very nice wallpapers with a lot of customization options. So if you guys know of any others please share.

I haven't found any so far. Only the dark Google ones that are in the Wallpaper app trigger it, there's like 5 of them that do it. Any 3rd party live wallpaper I've tried that is dark, does not trigger it.

You should give the ones I mentioned a shot. There's free versions of both, but you gotta be on 8.1 for the dark mode to work though.
The darker wallpapers in tapet trigger the dark theme, but I've found even with just setting an image they have to be very dark before triggering this....
Attached a dark wallpapers generated by tapet, and a fairly dark black and white image that didn't trigger it.
Seems to need a certain amount of black to switch to dark..
*Edit* first screenshot since getting the 2xl, screenshots have square edges behind the round corners....

This has a dark theme option in the wallpaper settings and you can disable the clock if you want.
