Ok guys well here is a a home i found on another forum. Under XPERIA forums, they have a app called AMBIENT TIME. Its a home replacement, works pretty good on my phone. Im not rooted or anything 2.1update 1. What i dont get is, why with this home replacement we get, live wallpaper as the stock backgound of this new home. But in our stock home, we dont have no live wallpapers? If some 1 can find out how that works plz let me know. n here is the link provided for the app. Try it out and let me know what results u all get.

Not a live wallpaper as it BG, that is the home app itself.

I like GDE
Patiently waiting for a release version of SweeterHome, which is still under development.

The developer is from this forum and his recent posts says his got something special in the works but it might take him awhile. The fade transition is simply the fastest transition I have seen on Android or the iPhone for that matter. Cube reminds me of Compiz but is not quick enough for everyday use
Where can I find sweeterhome?

trying it now
the YouTube videos look great, but the preview is sucking on my Droid
I kinda like a new one I'm trying, it's called "Home++." I think it might still be in beta technically, however.
I'm using Home++ right now and I'm loving it.
Home++ is awesome , although it still beta.

Kind of reminds me of WM6.5 a bit in terms of layout/looks, but I do kind of like it.
Currently I'm using Home++, and really liking it, i like the toolbar along the bottom.
Am interested to try Intelligent Home screen, have signed up for the beta, but haven't heard anything about it yet

You can get the beta file here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/downloads/?did=24
I personally use HOME++ until Intelligent Home Screen gets worked on a little bit more. IHS would be an awesome lock screen. But not home replacement. Specially since you can't place any widgets on it.

Intelligent Home Screen is really cool and so different. It is still way slow and buggy. I am sticking with Home++ for now.
I love GDE
GDE running fast on my G1
I've been using Home++ too for a few weeks, and I'm amazed that for a beta it's so functional and smooth. Haven't had it FC or do anything else weird either.
I used GDE for a while, but aesthetically it doesn't really feel that good (even with the theming support). Will give it another go once the version goes up a bit.

a little off topic but what phone is that featured on the page? looks like the g1 but differant button layout and stainless around the screen
Uh that is the GSM Hero pictured.
forgive me if this belongs in QnA but i currently have the awesome nemoplayer app. really nice app but the problem im having is with the widget. when i try to add the widget to a home page with no other widgets in it, it still says not enough room. i also tried a couple of home replacements but still the same result. anyone know why?

The nemoplayer was made for a phone with more screen real estate. The g1/mt3g is smaller and is not able to show a widget bigger than it. You can tell the difference when you open the app and when searching for a picture to look at half of the bottom row is cut off
Wow! The search button actually works. LOL I was about to start a new topic but just searched and look at what happened.

Lol I was just wonderin the same thing.I thought something was wrong wit my phone
Actually I'm having this same problem on my nexus one.
Are any wall paper developers trying to make custome live wallpapers for ManUp's 2.1 Rom? It already has the live cub wallpaper running on it perfectly. If not, Now would be a good time to start. Its the begining of a new way of building beautifull wallpapers that u can actually bring to life. Now that's Insanely cool If that's a word?.........lol
Theres 2 live wallpapers on the market Digital Rain and some duck 1. They both work on Manups 2.1.
there are actually like 5 or 6 in the market

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.
I was wondering if there was a way to use your camera as a live wallpaper so it would just show what your camera sees in the background of your phone so it would look like your phone is transparent
One already exists. I haven't used it so I don't know how good it is but its gotten good reviews. Here is the link.

It does have a lot of animations and stuff, but it's not for me.

Very interesting. Runs smooth on the Epic. One thing I really like about this one is that the pages/workspaces aren't compartmentalized. In other words you can put a button or a widget literally anywhere on the page rather than within the confines of the 4 x 5 grid (or whatever yours is set up as). There are hidden workspaces that are brought up by tapping out a code in the corners of the screens. The hidden workspace is a secondary collection of three additional workspaces...all ready for you to customize and hide.
Every time I try to change the wallpaper to something from my gallery the Media Scanner starts...that's annoying, but may not be a "Regina" thing as my phone is heavily modded. Once I finally did get to my gallery to change the wallpaper...guess what! Each workspace can have it OWN wallpaper! No kidding! Nice little surprise there.
Transitions are sweet, widgets are ok. I think the weather widget may be useless to many as the cities available appear limited, and you have to install add-ons to get it to work properly.
If you are intrigued by the SPB 3D launcher, you'll really like this one. It's a pretty giant step above SPB, and free. I can't wait to see how far they take this one.
Nice, i like it. its kindof like spb shell but its free! hah it has some good widgets and some good features. kind of slow but i think i might try it out for a day or two

That's what I was thinking
I like it, but they need to fix the transition speeds, and have a feature to turn that off.

I thought about that. But I'm not rooted as of now. Good suggestion to keep in mind though
Sent from my Samsung Epic
I tried it and didn't like it. It's better then SPB (imo) but ultimately it doesn't do anything better, smoother or easier to use then what I already have on ADW EX. Sometimes it would be difficult to swipe between screens quickly which was annoying, the weather widget is pretty much useless, no widget resizing (I use desktop visualizer a lot for pics), and I didn't care for the style of app drawer. YMMV though.

Actually, widget size can be resized on some by clicking the little "i" button. I agree the app drawer is lame; the weather widget needs work (doesn't even have Chicago!). But give it some time. It doesn't even have a v1.0 yet.

I had to play around with the weather, but I finally got Charleston WV in there. If I can find that, then Chicago should be there. Im really liking it so far. Used Spare Parts to change animations to fast and its awesome. Love how you can have a different wallpaper for each screen, and also four private workspaces. It takes a little bit to figure out, but I am really impressed. You can also remove the weather and clock and use your beautiful widgets or whatever clock/weather that you normally use. Now if I can figure out a way to edit the icons or they fix that, I will be really impressed.

Guys. If you need to find your city and it's not in the list, simply go to Settings for the Clock & Weather Widget, click "Add Custom City", and type in your ZIP Code. The clock becomes a bit funky but after a bit of messing around, you should be able to get it to run nicely.

I was thinking the same thing as I was setting up my home screens in Spanish Class. Chi-Town represent!
No one has put yet that you can scroll through "workspaces" with the dock by dragging it left or right. Press home or pinch-to-zoom out to look at the sense style overview, then hold on a screen to go into add/delete screen mode. And there was something else that I can't remember right now lol.

I just downloaded this, and I like it so far. I like the clean look and feel to it. I have LP+ and will try this out for a couple of days to see it I like it.
I did find Green Bay in the weather, but after I set the weather to GB, the clock time is way off.
