Anyone use a live wallpaper? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

If so, which one are you using? I am currently using the beautiful weather one, but I also wonder how much it affects my battery life. Would like to try out some others also.

I use the cosmic flow live wallpaper from the Xperia S

Cosmic flow is amazing. I have used beautiful weather but drained battery

I use the Galaxy Pack, and so far I'm living it. Then again, I've always liked space wallpapers, so... Yeah. I think it's free though, and that's always a plus.

I am using cosmic flow, battery not much affected.

I'm wondering why "cosmic flow" wasn't included for the ion. The only live wallpaper that came stock for me is a map live wallpaper. Is that how it is for everybody or am I missing something?

I would like to try this one out. How do you get it on the ion? I wasn't able to find it in app store.

I am using Seeds of Life. pretty interesting and it is interactive. friends enjoy it as well haha

I really like cosmic flow and the world one. It was strange that all the live walls are stripped from the carrier devices. Thought it was funny that International GB had the World live wall and nothing else. Well maybe it had maps to.

Xperia S home launcher and widgets leaked

Xperia S home launcher and widgets were leaked by the guys at XPERIA Blog (credit to them)
From there the only .apk that's working on our Galaxy Nexus is a beautiful Live Wallpaper called Earth. I thought I'd share that one.
Also, if somebody manages to port the Music Player that would be AWESOME!

Same for me. I just tried it on my stock Verizon Gnex and while it installs without any errors, it immediately FCs when trying to set it as the wallpaper for my phone.
Cosmic LWP a no go here also. Maybe a dev can cook us up a compatible one?

I was just wondering about this yesterday. I was on Sony's sight from Finland looking at some of the videos of the T and TX. They look to have quite a few added features. The TX is water resistant like the Acro. Nice find.

I can't say I've noticed the difference in the Home.apk, but the SystemUI provides stock notification bar toggles (not customizable), and the LTE symbol being back is nice. The new SystemUI also feels smoother but I can't say for sure. I plan on trying out some of the other stock apps (Calendar, Conversation, Photo Editor, etc..) soon. I'll report back.

No difference in the photo editor and calendar.

I've changed back to my modded SystemUI, the stock GX notification bar toggle just weren't flexible enough for. So far it looks like everything is pretty much the same.
One promising app is that "location based wifi", that turns off wifi once you're out of range. Not sure how it works or if you need locations enable for it to work, but it could be pretty handy.

No difference that I noticed, but I was already on ICS .233, just wanted to see if anything changed or improved with the GX software. The only improvement I saw was the SystemUI and the notification bar toggles. If we didn't have mods, than I would keep using it. Two things I didn't like about the GX toggles; every time you turn on data you had to confirm and no customization, so no GPS or Brightness.
Oh I see. No change from ICS. Will you post a screenshot of the calendar. Im still on Ginger.
Sent from my LT28at
This is also a early dump of a yet to be released device. From what I can tell the Mint is the T and the GX is now the TX. So maybe once the dumps from these devices leak we may see some difference or new stuff. Good to know its so easy to port things on Sony devices though.

Just like it says on the original thread, change permissions (rw-r--r-- ) and move it to system/app then reboot.
The toggle on the mods section are better than the stock gx toggles imo. I switched back a while ago.
Current Phone: LT28 - Sony Xperia Ion | Rooted ICS
Retired Phone: HTC Inspire 4G | IceCold 8.2 / dual pane - 160DPI
Can we even use a modded one on our ion's? Can you link the modded section? I don't want to use the wrong one.

Thanks for your work... i have a question for you... you only can solve my doubt ... i installed over 10 Fake Sunbeam... i have an htc one with sense but there's no difference with others... everyone posting the sunbeam says the original... from the dump.... i think it's not true... when i select my phase beam original stock it has a little description as your one sunbeam that you posted... and my other question is... is possible that with more than 10 fakes no one see the difference with the original in terms of speed? you're the first one that noticed this... the fake sun beams are stuck ... slow... the original phase beam o sun beam like the one you posted is very smooth...
so my final question is... you solve all the problems downloading ( i don't know where ) the really original one from the dump? thanks...
Actually, it's quite possible theirs are all from the leak. I will tell you now that the one I did is 100% "fake".
In that, I took the original Phase Beam added in the assets from the Sun Beam (Red, from the leak) into it and recompiled. I then changed some of the text to match the Sun Beam one and recompiled. The effect is that the exact assets from the leak are used in the "old" version.
But, my version is better because the frame rate is better and it doesn't jerk around.
So the one I did has EXACTLY the same assets (the pictures that make up the lines and circles) from the leak, I just put them into the original Phase Beam.
