Okay, I know there is an app to select different wallpapers for each screen, and some launchers even support this, but what i want is a little different.. I use 5 screens with 3 as Main/Home... I was wondering if its possible for 2, 3, 4 to be a Live wallpapers, then 1 & 5 as seperate images.
Reasoning: I love my current LWP (eastern something.. with firefly's) and it looks great with all my widgets, but I want screen 5 for my personal stuff, and want a pic of my wife for the background. Screen 1 I wanted for config options, so something like a circuit board or Andy would be more appropriate
Any suggestions?
should note, I'm usng CM7 Nightly #27 if that makes a diff
Is there an app to get regular wallpapers on multiple screen , i mean like a different regular wall paper on each screen ? . I looked in the Market and i only see multiple screen live wallpapers .I'm using a droid X .
I would say the launcher needs to support this which to my knowledge, non of them do. To be honest, having 3 live wallpapers as a background would consume to much battery power, prob 200mA+ which is a lot. You can have a look around and talk to a dev but I doubt there is anything out there.
Ok thanks man .

no i wanted just one live WP spread across screens 2, 3, 4.. like how a normal LiveWP is displayed, and just regular WP's for 1 and 5. I was afraid someone would say it needed launcher support I'm using LauncherPro Plus atm.. maybe it will be added in the future
Ah right, misinterpreted that, sorry. Yeh I don't think nothing like that exists yet. You would have to talk to the dev for LauncherPro or which ever launcher and see if they will add it.
I'm interested in getting the Ocean waves live wallpaper on my Galaxy S2, the one that Samsung Galaxy S originally had by default. Found it on the market, but it doesn't work. It crashes before loading when i try to select it. Is there anyone that has a working version or can anyone report that it works on their Galaxy S2 ? Thanks

I'm suffering the same problem as well. I contacted the samsung apps, but no one replies.
that wallpaper is really amazing
help please
some dev can port it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
yes the ace users also want this live wallpaper .... so we r with u
+1. Me too !
I have an evo shift, and I loved this wallpaper as well when I had android 2.2. Unfortunately, when I upgraded to 2.3.3 it stopped working, same force close error. I read somewhere else that this is because the libraries that this wallpaper uses are incompatible with android 2.3.... Also, because I am not a developer and know nothing about programming these things, I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. I'm hoping that somebody can get this wallpaper working on 2.3 soon, because it is beautiful and I would love to be able to use it again.
Great substitute for Ovean Waves live wallpaper
Since I haven't been able to find a working version either, I came up with a substitute.
Install Touch Ripples from app market. Be sure to get the paid app so you can change the background picture.
Set ocean waves.jpg (attached) as background within the wallpaper app. Move the size sliders (at top) all the way to the right for the best picture.
You'll want to play with the settings to get the ripples just right. At least we can have a look-a-like until samsung updates the wallpaper app.
+1 for ocean waves
This is the best live wallpaper
It rocks very very nice wallpaper, thanks!
I miss all of the SGS wallpapers. This, Aurora and Blue Sea

This and Beach live too!!!
I miss those wallpapers too!
Ive loved the Samsung LWP since the original Galaxy S...essentially the issue with many of these ported Samsung LWP is that they do not work at all on 2.3 and will only work with 2.2. I have tried several ways to try to install them however as far as I know looking at other threads regarding to these LWP is that the Samsung LWP was relatively integrated into their framework, in part with TouchWiz, therefore cannot be ported easily. HTC Sense is also relatively the same with only one that I know of which works perfect with 2.3 but requires relative changes to the root of the phone (does not work on Samsung but worked on all other HTCs). All the others FC unfortunately.
Koi free live wallpaper is equally good and its free.
Nice water effect.

Hello Guys,
This can be worked in ODEXED build roms only. The name of Wallpaper is "Secretwallpaper1.apk" with a odex file(I have renamed to .txt, please rename to .odex extn). Find the attached file & push both files in /System/app with rights of -rw-r--r--. then reboot.
If anyone can Deodexed the apk then it will be wonderful.
Hope it will work.
Hey y'all.
I did a search and didn't find anything.
I was wondering if there were any possible way to get the pink Galaxy live wallpaper and the Grass live wallpaper. Those were pretty much my two favorites and they're not included on ICS.
Thank you and merry Christmas all.

I'm sure if you google it, you can find the .apk files for those and install them regularly on your phone and use them

I don't think it's a separate apk like the others are. I think it's bundled together with an apk called Android Live Wallpapers 2.2. I did a titanium backup from my moms Vibrant and plan on trying to load the apk but I'm reluctant in fear of screwing something up. An alternative would be the Live Wallpaper from Beautiful Widgets and it's the exact same thing. Tried it myself and it ran like **** and lagged like hell.

I got the apk files from the nexus one thread and tried to install the apk file in system/apk (root), it tells me it will copy over (join) the files. Opening live wallpapers.... nothing happend. So disapointed. Im going to look if i can make a galaxy apk myself. But im by no means a coder so don't hold your breath.
Any luck finding it?
Did anyone manage to get the grass livewallpaper in ICS?
I just took a screenshot of the Beautiful Widgets Grass Live Wallpaper, cropped it and used that instead. Saves battery and looks good to me!
I just like that the background changes color during the day. During the day it's nice and bright and easy to see but at night the background is dim so I don't piss off my gf in bed.
Does it really use that much battery? Anyone know of any other backgrounds that change color? I don't really care about the grass moving.
bring back the grass! galaxy was pretty cool too. ive been trying to find these to but can only ever find ones which want to replace system application which sounds a bit dodgy.
I have tried multiple weather apps and most are slow as you click the widget to see the details. I wonder which one is fastest among these apps?

I like weather bug. The widgets are reasonably fast and their network of weather sensors is great in my area. I have one about a mile from my house so I know the temperatures I see on my phone are correct. Other apps I have used did not have sensors near so their readings were always off from what I was seeing on my actual thermometer.
I use WeatherBug Elite. It's really fast, accurate, and has alerts. I love it.
Eye in Sky is excellent. Fanastic UI, fast - really nice to use. I don't use it any more though because the weather forecasts/predictions were a little off here in Australia - some times up to 5 degrees off. As soon as this is fixed, hopefully by allowing weather data to be pulled from multi sources (for us Aussies the BOM is best) I will be reinstalling it straight away.
No love for beweather??? I've been using it forever and I like it more than anything mostly because of how it looks and performs. There's a paid version which includes widgets I believe and free version to try it out. I have paid version and the widgets looks pretty awesome.

I really want a weather widget myself and prefer rings digital clock widget but reviews say that it crashes on 4.2
I love fancy widgets. It's always accurate enough for me and has my favorite skins. So much customization you can make it whatever you want it to be.
I think it really depends on where you live. I used weatherbug in NY an now use eWeather HD in San Antonio, TX. I also use 1weather for my notifications even though eWeather has that option. I also use skymotion to check rain in the immediate area.
Everyone brings up a good point. It depends on where you are. I think accuracy is more important than speed. Whatever works for your area.

I have been really happy with weatherbug elite. I also like notification weather pro for a quick forecast.
This not a "weather' app but I use it all the time. Especially in the summer. Damn t-storms.
Raindar. It is old but works great. Launch it and it goes straight to a radar. I have had it set to launch by double tapping with nova launcher. App has settings for storm tracks and info.
Another app that does the tracking of storms but better is storm eye.
I also enjoy the always overlooked stock news and weather app. The sliding graph with temp and precipitation chance is great.
I've been reviewing a whole bunch of popular Android weather apps over on Google+.
The best UI is Eye in Sky but as others have already noticed, the weather provider used isn't very accurate, which is a real shame. Also, the guy who develops it doesn't have much time to spend on it at the moment so I'm not sure updates are going to be forthcoming.
So far I've looked at Google Now, AccuWeather, WeatherBug, WeatherPro, UK Weather, Eye in Sky and I have lots more to cover (including Yahoo!, Met Office and others). The one I'm currently using is HD Widgets. Not only are the widgets excellent, with a big selection of sizes, styles, tablet and 4.2.1 lockscreen support, but you can choose from three different weather providers. I heartily recommend it. Not sure it's free though...
The most accurate so far is between Google Now and UK Weather. The former is obviously UK only though. I wish there was a Holo-style widget for Google Now Weather... that would be awesome.
The biggest providers for other apps seem to be Yahoo!, AccuWeather, WeatherBug and Weather Underground. Most weather apps seem to use one of these so finding one that lets you choose is a real benefit as accuracy may depend on your country.

Sounds like you've done a bit of work.
Have you looked at Weatherzone or PocketWeather yet? Both are really nice. :good:
I'm always after new suggestions. But I do need to stop at some point and see if there is a clear winner!
So far though it's quite frustrating as some apps are accurate with a crappy UI or awful widgets, whereas others look amazing but their accuracy blow. Finding something that is good at both is harder than you think.
HD Widgets are experimenting with a new theme that looks like Chronus/cLock/Climaticons/Eye in Sky which could well be "the one" but if someone works out how to get a Google Now card into a choice of light or dark Holo widgets then I think I could stop looking.
PocketWeather and Weatherzone seem to be Australia-only though so not much use to me here in the UK.

Actually the galaxy store has some good ones. Free too.
Google Pixel's live wall papers works on my phone.
Use Walloop + videos in your gallery to make your own custom LWP's. You can edit your videos with the built-in editor to trim and loop any segment. Pro tip - If you own any AtmosFX Halloween hologram videos, i.e , AtmosFearFx, they look awesome.
