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.

I was trying to get some nice live wp on my G1 today. First I looked up the optimized Nexus dump wallpapers, but they did not work on my phone, all but the weird clock FCd as soon as I tried to open them. But every other live WP works.
My question is: is there any lwp what is an exact (or more-or-less) copy of the Nexus one LWP "Water", "Galaxy", and "Grass"? Or, any way to get the nice sea-shore one from Galaxy S?
Grass: Beautiful Live Weather
Galaxy: I forget the name, but there's one that looks similar, and is, in my opinion, better. More animation-y.
Water: Nottachance.
Galaxy S ones don't seem to work on G1, sorry mate. Upgrade and you'll be good ;P

Do you mean Galactic Core? Got it, but it is slow. I like the Galaxy one better, but it just won't work.
Water: Nottachance.

Water: that's sad. I loved it.
GalaS ones: That's why I said something like them. I can't upgrade, here where I live (Hungary) those phones cost a lot, and thanks to our govenrment, payments are under the a*s of the frog :S
Live wallpaper on g1 is worthless. maybe to just show your friends you can do it for a minute. But your friend probably already has an evo. And is running it for real anyway. G1 is really affected by live wallpaper. And runs like ****. Especially with these new bigger roms like 2.2 why do it. Your cpu and battery are greatly affected. And can't handle it.

hi,
well thats it, where can i get this live wallpaper..
thanks!
I have it in what I believe to be the stock eclaire live wallpapers pack from Bell. I'd love to be able to isolate it as an individual apk but I haven't a clue how to do that.
It's one of the only live wallpapers I really like and unfortunately it seems to be missing from the beta froyo for Bell.
Edit: Ah think I found it.
thanks...!!!
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.
I have been downloading some live wallpaper and can't install them. I don't even have a choice for live wallpaper. I have 3 options for Wall Paper Go Wallpaper - Wallpaper Gallery - That is it. I have no live choice of anything. Did something get deleted, can I down load a program I am missing from Live Wallpaper. I have Launcher Pro installed.. Any help would be great. AT&T Captivate
are u on a rom? i know one of the ones i was on didnt have the option.
If you are on one of my roms chances are you will need to get the live wall papers.apk and livewallpaperchooser.apk. The name might be off a bit but its something like that. I remove them as I build for speed and battery life.

I am pretty new to all this. I love this web site but find some of the apps a little confusing. Like when I try to change the ROM and find that things take a little extra time to get done. I really appreciate the info. Gale
I recently flashed one of the theory roms, and the only thing I don't like about it is that the nexus live wallpaper that came with the stock TBolt is missing. I realize that there are alternatives in the market, but none of them are as smooth as the one that shipped with the phone. Is it possible for someone to pull their livewallpapers.apk (I believe that it's in there... right?) for me, so that I can have that wallpaper back?
Thanks!
