I just upgraded from a S8 to S9 this weekend (both Verizon). I had the S8 for close to a year, but was experiencing microphone issues and my voice calls were always garbled. Up until the recent Oreo (v8) update, my wallpaper/screen saver/AOD theme was the original that came with the phone. I believe it was called "Infinity Wallpaper" from what I've been able to research, but it was the primarily black/space background with a subtle collection of stars ("galaxy") for both the wallpaper and AOD. Then with Oreo (which I loved on the S8) the wallpaper theme changed so now the home screen wallpaper is a blue mountain with stars in the sky and its too busy for me. When I ran the Smart Switch app to move all of my content from the S8 to the S9 it moved that theme with it.
Where can I find the original S8 theme and use it on my new S9?
you can't, it's integrated into system UI for some reason.

Hi All,
I've really enjoyed the stock Windmill live wallpaper that came stock with my Galaxy S2, more importantly the day/night and automatic weather updates.
I noticed that my GNexus did not come with any live weather wallpaper.
Is it possible or has any gotten this windmill live wallpaper from the GS2 onto their GNexus?
Is there any other alternatives other than Beautiful Widgets?
Thanks in advance.
Titanium backup. Or there are apks of it on the web. Personally I just switched to Go Weather with Go Live Wallpaper HD. Free and better.
I installed the apk for the wind mill wallpaper but it doesnt display correctly at all. Just a bunch of block figures without color. I really liked that windmill wallpaper because it didnt seem to take up a lot of memory and was great definition. The live portion of it was just outstanding. I havent found the same quality in other apps that do night/day and weather.
Yea, I had an APK of both the windmill and beach on my Nexus one which worked ok. They don't work on the Galaxy Nexus though.
Closest thing I have now it the live wallpaper from Beautiful widget. Plus the stock grass wallpaper isn't included
the BW live wallpaper is lame.
Wind Mills stock on the G2 was tits! Sure hiRes picture, animations where great. Loved it.
Would pay someone to get this to work on the GNexus.
Is it possible to update the wind mill live wallpaper from the SGS2 to work on the Galaxy Nexus?
I use 2 Android devices that have a "clock (digital)" widget. Although both widgets are shown as the same app version number (v1.0), they appear different when in use on the home screen. The one in use on the Samsung Galaxy Ring cellphone (Virgin Mobile) is quite nice with a completely transparent background displaying and has very pleasant lettering. The other one on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is not quite as nice. The font is very slender and unappealing while it sits on an annoying translucent background.
OK . . . here's the question: should either of these "digital clocks" be configurable? That is, are there any settings that could alter the font style or size, color or transparency, or overall widget size??? I have looked everywhere and can find no obvious way to configure these widgets so that they are more pleasing to the eye.
Maybe I'm asking too much?
Oh . . . almost forgot; the cellphone (which has the nice version of the widget) is Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and the Note 8.0 is running 4.2.2. Perhaps the OS version number is a factor?

hello everyone,
i hope i hitted the right forum section.
i own a N7 LTE 2013 with 5.0.2.
after lollipop upgrade and updating the new google launcher (N5/6/9 style) i noticed what it seems to be a bug, i wonder if i'm the only one who noticed it/have the bug.
if i want to change the background image, holding tap on the screen and pressing on the wallpaper button appearing on the screen, the image list doesn't refer to the right launcher: what i see is the old launcher form for wallpaper changing with the old kitkat wallpapers (except for the first image that refer to one material design wallpaper).
if i want to see the news material design wallpaper list i have to go through settings - display - background, and here i see a doubled "background" section, one list old wallpapers, the other list the new ones.
someone else noticed that?
thanks everyone

edit: my N7 is completely stock.
update: same issue after 5.1 update.
Hi
Hope this is in right place.
On my S8 i used to be able to use Automagic to set live wallpapers using a shortcut, so i could switch between a stock infinity wallpaper and a KLWP one easily. And back again.
The package for the infinity wallpaper would show up in live wallpapers when selecting which wallpaper i wanted.
On the S9 this doesnt happen.
Anyone know where the package could be or is this just something else Samsung have hidden too deeply.
Thanks
can anybody give the link to download the Galaxy s9 infinity live wallpaper pack .

just do a google search - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=samsung+initity+s9+wallpapers+xda&t=ffsb&ia=web
That said I have not been able to find the live versions of these wallpepers.
HI, does anyone know where live lockscreen wallpapers are saved on the note 10+? I'm rooted and have checked the usual folders but can't seem to locate them. I am trying to move "S10 Dark Warrior" that i got off the galaxy theme store onto my note 20. That wallpaper is no longer available on the galaxy store.
