I found a working version of the new cosmic flow live wallpaper from the Sony Xperia phones. Once you install it you have to hit settings and pick a color and then you can apply it. Only problem is that it runs terribly slow.
Anyone think they can take a stab at speeding it up?

tried on my Captivate, it runs pretty fast until you set it as wallpapers, then it lags my phone as hell
Nice find! Hopefully someone can optimize it for the GNex.

Hey guys,
Is anyone aware of a port of the wind farm live wallpaper on the Galaxy S II for the Galaxy Nexus? I've done some searching and tried an apk but the graphics didn't display correctly.
Thanks,
Krisbo
EDIT: Here they are. They install and work but introduce a lot of lag when scrolling between home screens.
Which apk did you try? Was it TouchWiz based off Ice Cream Sandwich?

The first one just shows a white screen and the second won't even install.
Those aren't optimized for use on ICS. Try the link I provided and extract it and snatch the live wallpaper apks and try them. It should work better.

Thanks for the tip . It works but makes transitions between home screens very jerky. I'll post the apks when I get home in case anyone else is looking for these.
I also lifted Polaris Office which works well. Unfortunately though, my files didn't work. I really liked is as a simple file manager on my SGS2.
I was also looking for these as well as the 4 live wallpaper from the galaxy S. I found them but they just fc :-( Can you please post the apk's
I was looking at these two live wallpapers too!!!
I've tried the ones which wasn't optimized forma ICS, I hope that anyone canzona post the optimized ones...if they exists of course...

Updated OP with SGS2 live wallpapers from the ICS build.
Thanks man!
Unfortunately you're right...the wallpapers are really really slow, with very ugly lags...
I think that se van forget these walls on our nexus...
Anyway...is there any live wallpaper that is FLUID and WITH NO STUTTER/LAG on the nexus?
Forma example: the PHASE BEAM one id perfect..another one is CRAZY COLORS and SHADOW GALAXY...do you know another one like these...maybe with data/Night transition?

I would like these to work well too ... I used the windmill one exclusively on my SG2 and would love to use it on my GNex but the lag is horrible
I was so happy when I upgraded from a T-Mobile g2, but now I'm thinking it wasn't worth it
Everything was smooth on the g2 even if it was single core at 0.8ghz
When I use apps the scrolling isn't smooth at all, everything's so laggy, especially go launcher which I was using on the g2 without any problems
Do you guys think a future update will fix this?

I think it is a problem with Go Launcher not being updated for ICS..

I would say that there isn't many apps updated for ics yet.....only a few and that's why they don't run smooth....but I would guess that as more and more phones get ics, more and more apps will be updated too......at least that's what I think and hope......

The built in live wallpapers aren't optimized for ICS except phase beam. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of others weren't either. Also.. if you are using a live wallpaper not optimized for ICS.. well there's your problem.
I'd bet, like most, that it hinges on the optimizations for ICS.
Keep in mind, ICS was a HUGE update (maybe not coming from 3.x but y'know) and app-devs have a ways to go before they're using the newer configs on all their apps. It'd be entertaining to see GB ported back over to the GN to see how well it ran.
Hey guys,i've searched a lot everywhere to find a solution for that annoying lag using live wallpapers but i still haven't found the solution. Anyone know how to solve? Thanks in advance!

Only solution is don't use them. You would think that the Gnex would be able to handle live wallpapers with no problems. Guess we'll have to wait for quad cores to run them smoothly.
The only wallpaper that I like is wave because it is beautiful and is very very smooth.. I recommend trying it.. It doesn't use much battery either..

Its gotta be some bug that Google hasn't fixed. These same wallpapers run OK on lesser phones, so its likely something software related.

Lesser phones at much lower resolution.
Do all of the live wallpapers lag for you? The only ones that lag on my phone are Bubbles and Microbes.
The only ones that lag are those not yet optimized.
Phase beam is awesome. I take it that OP is not stating that the device lags because of LWP.
It's definately a software issue.
sent from my i9250
Ok,i understand! However,even in my gnex the only live wallpaper that doesn't lag is phase beam. Thanks to everyone,if you have news let me know 'cause me too think that is an issue related to software
I sent a report to Google:
1-set the live wallpapers that lags
2-go to applications->running and select the live wallpaper that you're using
3-select report and write a description that can help developers to fix this issue.
I hope that as much people as possible will do this,maybe google will listen to us!

I guess, but does the note lag? Different gpu sure. But why does phase beam work smooth as can be, but the nexus amoeba one not? Are they that different in resource requirements where one works smooth and the other not? Both seem in the same ballpark to me. Something has to be going on...
To reduce lag in many wallpapers, just stop them from scrolling.
Simple.

I heard that turning on forced GPU rendering can get rid of the lag but turning that option on usually is more trouble than it's worth. It's something Google should have fixed a long time ago and it's baffling that they haven't.

I was seeing lag on my galaxy nexus and turned off force gpu. It no longer lags and the apps that were choppy are now fine.
I am running stock ICS and made just a few tweaks when i first got the device due to the 5 tweaks to make on ICS article. Thought sonething was wrong but read that force gpu might be cause.

Renderscript is already gpu accelerated, so forcing it is just doing what it already does.
The only one that works 100% smooth is phase beam,the others 1000% lag !
I found another one from a different thread. Its like a black hole or something. Like the old galaxy one but with a big ball of light in the middle. The apk is named galaxy4 and someone modified it but I don't know who so I cannot give credit. Let me know if you guys find any others.

Heres a complete Xperia NEO/NEO V port
How easy would this be to port?
Its the best ROM ever! You can have the entire tablet mode UI or entire phone UI or a bit of this a bit of that. You can make an app run in tab mode if it supports that, for example, chrome, I use it in tablet mode and its awesome. Per app density is another feature. You can control what density should the app run in.. its just plain amazing!

lol, someone just ported it. Its great, thanks sechko!
Hi everyone!
Im so in love with the specs and and formfactor of the N7 and I kinda like the stock Holo theme too, especially over TouchWiz and the likes, but its just getting boring after a while unlike Sony's Xperia UI on their recent devices such as the Xperia Tablet Z. Since they share the same screen resolution it doesn't seem to be a hard job to adopt the complete UI for an expert. I guess i can't just simply flash a Tablet Z's fw onto the N7, it would broke. Is there anyone in the same boat with me and also have some expertise in doing it? Not sure if that's an issue but they're also not on the same fw version.
I wouldn't be surprised if it has been discussed earlier because Sony's UI is just simply mindblowing and N7 is getting so popular with the 2013 version especially.
Please let me know if it is possible to make in some way ot should I get the Tablet Z instead.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Mate,
Thank you for that! That's a start! Could you please shoot some screens and tell me ihow similar it gets with that launcher? I actually really do like the the way you unlock the device.
I have tried it and it does look nice but the app drawer is not right for the density of our n7.
Does anyone know what the stock lcd density the tablet z uses?. I will also ask in the tablet z forum.
Also maybe an amazing dev can chef us up a xperia based rom .pretty please :angel:
Would be aswesome to have Xperia UI in this tablet!! is it confirmed to be working that shared app???
