I was wanting to get some ideas for new live wallpapers. I have been running the same old live wallpaper on my S2 and now on S3 which is the Galaxy Pack (link below)
From the wallpapers Ive tried, I think it looks the best. But I'm bored of it now. Which live wallpapers do you guiys think look best on the S3?

Definitely Metaballs HD if you dont hate paid apps
Its completely different because you can customize backgrounds, images, colors and shading/blur 3d effect.
P.S. Free version is available too, but with huge capability restrictions.
I did try that, looks cool, but at the same time looks a bit tacky for my liking.

I just tried that too, does look good, needs an HD update though. I also prefer interactive Live wallpapers. But for now might stick with Alive
Had my s3 for just over a week now, and currently switching between galactic core, metaballs HD and asteroid belt live wallpapers. But yeah just like you OP, I also need a change

Jumpgate live wallpaper.....is smooth and doesnt seem to eat up to much batter and looks pretty cool with the little android flying around with his jetpack.
I use Digital Hive. It's nice and subtle, no noticable battery drain on any of my phones.
Digital Hive
I nexus rain, you can change the color and speed.

ECG Live Wallpaper
An electrocardiogram of your battery will animate your wallpaper. If your battery going down, the ECG too. Looks very sexy.
But most importantly, does not affect the performance and battery life.

Which click widget are you using?
Multi Live Wallpaper.
Its not actually a live wallpaper, but rather you can select different wallpapers for every screen. Double tapping changes the wallpapers.
So I have a folder in my SD card as "Best Wallpapers" and my phone randomly changes its wallpapers from this folder.
Its pretty decent.
Try it out.
Been using it for a year now and no noticeable battery drain.

Has anyone tried using the "beautiful live weather" live wallpaper (the live wallpaper connected to beautiful Widgets)? I really love this live wallpaper, and it looks great on my N1.
However, I'm curious as to how it looks on the HD screen... if it looks good, I am probably going to order the GN tomorrow...
Thanks!

looks pretty awesome on the screen. however it does lag a bit, as it does with all live wps other than the default phase beam. i am guessing that is more of an ics compatibility issue.
It looks like you set the wrong one. There should be two beautiful live wallpapers in the list. There is a basic one (which you have set) and another one which uses open gl for pretty animations etc. The latter is much better..
Can you try out that one for me
Thank you! I am so happy that it formats ok, it is completely messed up on my tab.

I didn't even know bw had live wallpapers. I just set it and it looks nice. I'll probably use my black still wallpaper to save battery. here are 2 screenshots
I tried it and it works pretty well. Its very cloudy and thus so was my home screen. Kinda bummed me out so I went back to my vibrant wallpaper.
The lag was minimal compared to others. Kinda makes me mad that live wallpapers are sluggish. Live wallpapers are really cool to show off android. The home screen experience should be top notch. Hopefully it gets better.
I'd hate to leave my G2x to a phone that can't run live wallpapers.

I'm happy to upload some wallpaper packs for you. All wallpapers are applied and tested on the Gnex's screen. The colors,
as well as the sharpness of all the wallpapers match perfectly with the amazing screen on the phone, therefore the name
"Precision Walls". As kind of a photographer, some of the images in the pack may be my own, clicked by my DSLR :]
Please do not use my own clicked images for any kind of work without permission.
//Cosmos HD Walls Pack#1
NOT ALL IMAGES ARE SHOWN IN THE PREVIEW.
More packs are going to be available in the near future! Total images in the Cosmos HD pack aren't much, around 23-24
but soon the thread will be updates and so will be the packages. There will be a wide variety of packs to choose from :]

How do I get it to show the entire picture? Every time that I select a wallpaper it wants me to crop it I use the default gallary to view them.

Well you'll have to crop it to some extent otherwise the stretching of the pictures will compromise upon the quality of the pictures. If you want, I can find 1280x720 wallpapers for you?
Thanks for these, found a couple nice ones in the pack.
I really like the pics. I can crop them...I just thought that these were already the size of the phone's display and no cropping would be required.
The Mild HD pack will be uploaded in about half an hour
Thanks, awesome!
2 packages coming up -
1. Mild HD#1 - Random smooth HD Images!
2. Amaze HD#1 - Amazing package!

It has been a while since I made a real homescreen, I had been using Windows Phone for a while before I got my Galaxy S3. You guys have no idea how suffocating those tiles were (But I still love the MetroUI).
So, I call this setup DropUI cause of the raindrops in it. I have this strange fascination about them, they calm me down. You might notice the edges have black spots, they're there so that the screen looks rounded too. Inside the screen is another layer (or I call it a base). The base has the nav, the dock and the folders. I had to include the dock inside the wallpaper and then use blank icons on my launcher cause 7x10 grid was a pain to work with.
I had seen many setups before I created this, the best and the most unique ones used SweeterHome which is a beta launcher and is clunky. I believe in functionality over looks so I chose one of the best launchers out there, Apex Launcher. (You can use GoLauncher too but Apex has some nice gesture controls.) I made most of it, I had to mash up two icon sets and add in some effects to them. (resources are listed below). Unlike most of the complex setups which make it really hard to change wallpapers, each of my homescreen changes its wallpaper automatically. I had to make couple of wallpaper variations but same wallpapers get boring after a while. The folders are made up of Simi Folder widget and the text is made up of Minimalistic Text.

I didn't care for the upgrade either, Losing the B. Home was a bad idea.
Anyway, I changed to HD Widgets, it's very nice.

You can have multiple instances on the home screen (I use 3) and it has a nice integration with your calendar and can show your appointments on the screen. Touching the sun/moon brings you to the weather page, else you can get to the calendar app. Very battery friendly.
Here's two shots of how I have it set up with. transparent backgrounds.

What App did you end up settling with as a replacement? I checked out the ones people recommended but they all seem to miss some option that BW does. Example: I like the refresh on wake option. None of the other apps had that option. HD Widgets was the closest to replacing BW for me, it just misses on the configuration ability. So in the end, I went back to BW.

I found the same as you. I had a backup of previous version of BW, and restored back to that, and have stopped updating it. I suspect the day will come when that won't work, but that'll probably be a while.

Its built on a theme engine app called KLWP. Similar to UCCW and Zooper but different in the case that the engine isn't a widget but instead a live wallpaper that allows for a "one click theme apply". It's kind of the next big thing for the themers right now. If your into theming, you should check it out, and the G+ community.

It by far the most powerful theming engine right now, even supports animations and more.

unless youre like me and constantly inside the editor and making your own setups. That drains like any editor would. But its pretty much amazing once you see the themes you can make, or download. Brilliant

Can I ask a question regarding all these themes. Is it just a matter of creating a KLWP folder, downloading nova launcher and KLWP prime and away I go? I can just buy themes and install. Am I missing anything else? New to this lol. Great looking theme

Thank you. Normally I leave setup instructions in the playstore description of the app. If you install klwp and klwp Pro and set it up, the app will create the folder for you. After that it depends on where you get the themes from. Play store installers can place the files for you in the correct folder, but if you find theme files you can manually place them in the correct folder and go from there too. Nova also must be setup correctly too.
