Cool wallpaper advice - Nexus S Themes and Apps

Use the NexusKang LWP from the market and download the default honeycomb wallpaper from the SDK. Set it as your custom background and use the color scheme SoftBlues. Really looks sick.

Really nice. What widget are you using?

Does it affect battery life drastically? Ive been using Starfield lately and its awesome with the black background with the stars flying by. It uses little to no extra battery.

Live wallpapers will always increase battery drain. Better coded ones use less but it's still going to be significantly more than a conventional one.

The new Nexus S LWP's are really good on battery,very little drain...

On that screen I'm using
Turtle Photo Frame - cycles through photos in a specified folder. It's really nice and light on battery.
Widgetsoid 2.x for battery indicator
Beautiful Widgets 1x1 for weather
Digital Clock Widget for time - have it linked to Alarms.

As someone said it all really depends on the coding of the LWP - the one I've recommended is NexusKang. It's a TeamDouche creation which means you can count on it being well written. At the end of the day it uses about 2-4% of my total battery drain.

Think i found a bug, the battery icon always show. 100%, even after i used the phone for a while, then it dropped to 80%
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah stuck on 40% for me and widget says 26%.
Now says 20% is it only in 20% increments?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Its because the battery icon doesn't go in 1% impliments. Probably 100-80-60-40-20-5-0. Or something of that nature.
I'm still working on the battery percentage mod for this theme, just wanted to through this out for you guys as fast as I could.

no problem, thank you for explaining.
yeah i think the battery meter only moves in 20% increments which sucks! (edit: Glad to see you're working on it, thanks) i also wish the items in the notifications werent such a bright gray, make it all black with like silver accents! other than that I find this theme highly attractive. gonna make it have my babies
Great theme, I love it! Glad to see you're working on the battery meter. I second the notification background being black, they grey makes some items hard to read. Thanks for the port!!!

please keep the notification black. there are planty of themes with different colors...
i didnt mean change the notification bar, i am talking about the notifications background once you pull the bar down, like in my picture above

Been using this theme with syndicate ROM. Only thing missing is 1% increments...or at least 5 or even 10.

Strange theme idea: caf inverted colors

I know you guys have heard of Caf and have expressed your hatred for it but here's my idea. After seeing some pictures of messed up screens I thought wow if that was a theme that would be pretty badass. It looked super slick
Any of you themers wanna try to.make a theme like that?

Should just have an option like in iOS to enable inverted colors.

You seem a bit strange
If you want even more funky colours, just stare at the sun for like 5 min non stop and then look at your phone, results guaranteed! (I take no liability for any eyesight loss and/or 'incident's' that may occur whilst you are spaced out staring at the sun)

I don't know about you guys, but I love me some Live Wallpapers.
I thought it would be nice to compile our recommendations in one thread. I'll start us out. (Only posting free versions but I prefer paid versions)

The only LWP I keep coming back to. Subtle & doesn't eat battery.
Funny I saw this. I actually posted on G+ how I'm not using LWPs anymore with the N5 when I only used them on my N4. Don't know why really.
But... Here's one of my favorites:

Didn't you read about this?
There was a red galaxy I had back on my nexus one. Was the same as the stock but was red hue instead of that purple/blue. Lost it and have never been able to find it.
Anyone seen anything like that?
