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:

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.

There was a thread similar to this a little while back, but it died. So what do you use the most? Do you have some cool ones to share? Usually I just check the market for good ones.
Also, so anyone know where I can get the stock samsung galaxy s series lwps? I can seem to find a good link to download them from. And I really want the "ocean" one. Any help would be appreicated!

i attempted but all the ones that were available the link was broken. usually when i google i find nothing but the newest leaked SGS2
Almost anything by Kittehface is golden. Here's the ones I use, switching between them depending on the mood:
aniPet Aquarium
Asteroid Belt (Kittehface, really awesome)
Blue Skies (Kittehface, really awesome)
Fireflies (the one with the light bulbs)
Giraffe
Ice Galaxy
Jungle Waterfall (Kittehface)
Rays of Light
Silhouette (Kittehface)
Vortex Galaxy
I'm a big fan of Live wallpaper; it's just something that clearly makes our devices stand out immediately.
i completely agree with you. i like the galaxy ones by that dev, i but it seems to run REALLY slow on my even overclocked G2. depending on the ROM
I use 'Multipicture'. Its not really a 'live' wallpaper, but it acts like one and allows you to set different wallpapers for each screen. Its available for free in the market.
I love solar winds, would live to be able to customize it.
Zoomfield, 3D starfield, plasma.
If there was a waveform mod that allowed you to change the background image and color of the wafeform, I would be very happy in my pants. Does anyone knowbof a music influenced lwp other than waveform and vu meter?
I've been using one called "Shadow Galaxy" made by "maxelus.net" that I found on the Android market. It is one of four Space galaxy wallpapers by maxelus.net. The other three are "Vortex Galaxy", "Ice Galaxy" and "Inferno Galaxy."
All four of the Galaxy wallpapers are free and very nice to look at IMO. Obviously, they use more battery than static wallpapers but I have gotten pretty good battery life while running these. Check them out, they are not my creations but I do enjoy them.
I just installed Night Sky and the Ice and Shadow Galaxy live wallpapers. Shadow Galaxy is my favorite by far. The graphics are stunning!

I love all of these, I switched weekly- thank you for posting this!
Any Idea how to capture the screen?
Edit: nevermind with rooted device there are some apps
I found a new one that's downright incredible: Celestial Bodies. The lite version isn't great imo because it's restricted to one view (the one I dislike), but the full version is fantastic, runs like a dream on this phone and doesn't even show up on my battery stats. There's another amazing one called Solar System 3d that has the best graphics I've ever seen on this thing, but it was showing up as 29% of battery use after 6 hours of being unplugged, so I stopped using it. Not sure if that was a fluke or not but worth noting.

Light grid pro is by far my favorite! There's tons of ways to customize from colors,shapes and animations.

Not bad. Unfortunately wallpapers do me no good as I have tiles all over my screen so I have to stick with a basic black background to make it look uniform.
As Title really what live wallpapers are people using in there HOX and what would you recommend ?
Theres quite a few good ones in the Zedge App.

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

You can accomplish this UI with the current apps on the playstore... Desktop Visualizer, Widget Locker, Multi Live Wallpaper and a little Gimp/Photoshop to make the wallpaper and some time... boom you have a very basic UI I think sharp isn't going to go anywhere with this.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Nexus CDMA using xda premium
I don't get why they put icons inside of squares. Its like putting an icon inside an icon which leaves you with a 3 column app tray. Think about all the scrolling you'd have to do.
The lock screen is cool and I'm sure the app store will have something similar soon enough.

Lock screen does look awesome.

its similar, use multi-live-wallpaper and set crop to "Fit to screen" (this is my version of it) if anyone wants it. I personally do not like this UI but I thought i would take a step toward what some ppl want. Ill make the icons 2mrw if you guys want em. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffkbkwgxqvm681a/FEELUI.rar Enjoy!

this is more than just a home screen transition.
nothing out there (that i have seen at least) gives you vertical scrolling on the home screen as well as horizontal scrolling.
also, the lock screen is more than just a widgetlocker theme. the clock wont be on the bottom, and it wont scroll, the lock screen wallpaper wont scroll, you cant slide the lock icon up, and get the options, you dont get the nicer looking missed call/mail/sms pop ups.
this goes MUCH further than just some skin.
I just read an article about this from The Verge and i'm intrigued. The developers created Next interface and seem to be onto something. They feel the desktop is an unnecessary step to get to the app tray. Fair point, why have a bunch of apps then hit a button to get to your other apps? In the quest to be pc-like, Android has a desktop and widgets. Great, but I do see the point being made here. Oh, and notifications were redesigned.

A full port would be amazing. It would become my daily for sure, it's so creative and the design and fonts and everything is so beautiful. I love clean looks.
Would love a port...but its not gonna be out for a while...considering Feel UX phones arent even out yet in Japan.

I understand completely. Went through almost every live wallpaper which had a rating of >3.5. Couldn't find anything good enough. Finally ended up installing Wallbase with HD wallpapers. You can have the regular water effect with these.

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.
I think live wallpapers are great in theory, but poor in execution. Some of them are fun for a few minutes, but that's it and then they're useless and battery drain for how often I'm actually on a home screen where they can be seen. After having gone through so many, you begin to ask yourself, "what would be a useful live wallpaper for me?"
I still don't have that answer.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

Hi buddy. I use the Kotori Live Wallpaper. I know it's redundant, but it informs you of missed calls/msg & has an assortment of odd musings. The background will mirror your current weather condition & there's an XMAS tree to which I believe the app follows major holidays. I can't bear to change this wallpaper.
This is what I use and everyone that sees this setup on my device is amazed.......https://play.google.com/store/apps/...50YW1hbmVnaS53YWxscGFwZXIubXVsdGlwaWN0dXJlIl0.
Of course you have to customize it to your liking :good:
Good to see its not just me, I've had the video live wallpaper for a few years, at Christmas I use the Christmas tree pro, for two years, I just can't believe I can't see anything interesting,don't get me wrong the work they do is fantastic,I just can't find a keeper(only at Christmas time) my favorites have been live beech,I like a futuristic live wallpaper, something that looks stunning, and I just want to add,I hate clock live wallpapers, the time is always visible from the status bar(by default) so why have it again on your home screen?
