Live Wallpaper? - Nook Color General

Is it possible to enable Live Wallpaper on the NC?

Perhaps after an update to 2.2 from B&N, which will need to be rerooted....and then might still not work. Unfortunatly Live Wallpaper needs 2.2 and currently the Nook is 2.1.
I would be curious to see Live Wallpaper running on the Nook that was posted running Froyo.

I noticed a little lag with Circuit lwp, and some other live wallpapers don't even seem to work due to the resolution (pixel zombies).
I'm a little more concerned about the battery drain.

Wouldn't that only be a big issue if you spent a lot of time with the screen on and not using an app (i.e. when the home screens are showing) ?

This is true.
Any interactions with the Launcher will result in increased battery use for the live wallpapers. Depending on the efficiency of the LWP itself, some being better than others.

Where do you see that someone has it working with 2.1? I only see them getting it to work with 2.0.1.
Does anybody have or is there a way we can get the live wallpaper from the Nexus? I want the grey screen that has the colored blocks that move up and down.

theres one in market called starfield
http://uk.androlib.com/android.application.com-discoverdroid-starfield-pDCp.aspx
or type "live wallpaper" in market for more like duck hunt where you shoot ducks
I bought the blobs live wallpaper, I actually find it quite nice (looks some what like a concert laser) also seems less stressful than the star field.
Id say its worth the $1.26 (.99 pounds)
I bought Rainbow and Bokeh. Might just be in my head, but Rainbow seems to be the smoothest running LWP on my G1 in terms of causing lagginess. Bokeh seems to eat up more memory or something because switching homescreens gets pretty choppy.

microbes live wallpaper

I was wondering if anyone got the microbes live wallpaper running on our phones. I tried flashing the signed zip, it didn't work. I also tried both of the apk's that were just released and it didn't work. Installs fine but when setting it on microbes, it goes to the stock htc wallpaper.
here's the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875216
could the reason be that it's not optimized for our phones? is it possible to optimize it?
Well, for starters, none of the Galaxy S live wallpapers have ever worked on our phones.
or the droid x lwp...
and no, there is no way to optimize the lwps other than making a new apk that reacts the same as the others..., im not doing that
I see. Oh well just thought I'd ask. Thanks anyway
Random question.
Does using live wallpapers drain the battery much more than stock wallpapers? Some live wallpapers are a lot more active than others.
Thanks for any help.

I always thought they drained the battery more. Plus, I just hated how Launcher Pro acted sluggishly with it enabled. It's cool for a while but I can't put up with slowness.

Honeycomb Wallpaper

I've noticed the Xoom Honeycomb wallpaper found on the interwebs is terribly low quality. You can see gradient banding and pixelization. Its quite sad really since its such a cool image.
Anyway, I've redone the wallpaper to get rid of these artifacts. I will post 2 versions, one is the original size (1920x1408) and the other is formatted for the NC (1024x600).
Enjoy!
*EDIT*
Didn't realize that attaching them to the thread would compress/lower quality. Here are direct links
Honeycomb 1920x1408
Honeycomb 1024x600
Thanks so much for this!! It works perfectly with Honeycomb Tablet Tweaked theme.

No problem. I'm really amazed at how low the quality is on the version that is floating around the web. Gradient banding drives me insain. If you are going for a honeycomb look then you should check out the ripple lock app.

looks good but at this point I have no use for a lock screen on my nook
Looks awesome. Thanks!
I can't seem to get gallery to set the whole thing as a wallpaper. Is there some sort of background changing app that ishould be using? I feel Like a noob. I must be missing something.
Give Multipicture Live Wallpaper a try.

Full 1440x1280 ICS Wallpapers

Here are the android 4.0 ICS wallpapers, ripped from the sdk image. These are the full, 1440x1280 images, not the downscaled ones we got some time ago.
Use them for your desktop, tablet, or w/e.
Enjoy!
Thanks man...the others were kinda grainy.
Why isnt the wallpapers in the phones native resolution ?
Thanks, great!

The screen is 1280px high but the wallpapers got to be wider to support wallpaper scrolling.

you need the image to shift as you scroll through homescreens. Generally the "formula" is to double the screen width and keep the height. Hence 1440x720.
edit:1440x1280 sorry.
Love Chroma!

I believe it is a live wallpaper. I would like it as well. I don't think it was included in the system dump though. Someone could correct me if I'm wrong.
if the skies the limit, where's the urgency?
Yeah, it's live.
I'd be fine with a static version if someone could just photoshop the stuff ontop of the wallpaper, etc.
Would that be feasible?
How's this? I totally forgot where I found this, but I'm using it with Intel's ICS Launcher, and it's pretty nice. I'm working through the sdk now, so if I manage to get the live wallpaper to work, I'll post that as well.

If you do, that'd be awesome! Then we could try to get the new youtube, launcher2, and more to work xP. But one step at a time lol.

It's a Galaxy S2 wallpaper. (actually I'm not 100% it's gs2, but it's definitely a default wp from one of the latest phones lol)
Here's a better quality one.
You know what, I think you might be right. I think it's actually from the Nexus S…my fault. It looked kinda close to being a static image of the live wallpaper they used last night (granted I didn't get a great look at it), so I figured I'd share. The sdk dump has very little of value in it, other than for development purposes, but I'll download the Galaxy Nexus dump tomorrow, and see what I can find.
