Some of you may have already heard of it, but props to the Gravitron live wallpaper. I just tried and runs pretty smooth on the xoom and looks cool as hell! Check out the free version, the full version is only .89 cents. I am in love with this live wallpaper.

I'm looking for the best and fastest launcher that Handel's live wallpapers really good, any idea of such a live wallpaper?
Take a look at LauncherPro. Very fast and very smooth.
Oh, and it's free from the Market.
I have it and its Smoooth with Static wallpapers but SLOW with Live wallpapers which is what im asking for..
It works flawlessly for me with Live Wallpapers.
Just tried it with every Live Wallpaper I have loaded on my device, and only one of them didn't work smoothly.... of course, I haven't been able to get that one to work with Froyo yet.
Is there a specific Live Wallpaper you're trying to use?
The stock froyo launcher is the best at handling LWPs IMO.. Launcher Pro becomes considerably less smooth when you're not using a static wallpaper. I'm using the Bezier live wall with the stock launcher and it's very smooth.

Yep, I don't use live wallpapers but when I swiped through the homescreen after flashing froyo (Default is a live wallpaper) it was silky smooth. You might want to wait till 2.2 is released to the masses.
I was trying Beautiful live weather but others are smooth now for some reason.. and The stock Froyo launcher isnt as smooth as Launcher Pro
Mine, and many of the current devs fav is the ADW Launcher
and the Helix Launcher
Both handle LWP well, and have some great custom options. Both devs are great examples of the great Android community. They each make a custom launcher, but they help each other out at the same time. They just want to make android better. Which is good for everyone.

No one is quite sure how the launcherpro dev got things so fast and so smooth. But we all love it and hope that he is kind enough to share his knowledge.
Have objects in the wallpaper change perspective as you scroll your screens left or right. Like in this vid for example.
See how all the hills in the back scroll at different rates to help give that 3D depth perspective? It would be nice to have objects (like the turtles and shrooms) moving in the foreground too.
I actually want a live wallpaper that looks just like super mario bros wii, with moving backgrounds and all.
It's hard to develop, hard to play with, and icons and widget won't help you to play. The best solution is to download a super mario bross game in the market, I don't know if it already exist but it should
A game is not what i want, i want a live wallpaper that looks like the game, if you know what i mean? I want no interaction with it beyond the change in perspective when i scroll between screens.
It doesnt have to be mario bros either, it can be anything where the objects on the wallpaper scroll at different rates to give that change in perspective.
It's called parallax scrolling. It's already in some LWPs like Silhouette but not quite in the way you're referring to.
So, yeah it definitely could be done, but as far as I'm aware hasn't yet.
Parallax Scrolling... cool, thanks.
I just found a live wall paper that appears to use it, MaryJane, from the marketplace.
The leaves in the foreground and middleground move independantly of each other and from the background as well. Looks really cool... if you dont mind the type of leaves being used.
Now, if only someone would make one that mimics mario bros wii.
Yep. The MaryJane LWP is from the same group that did Silhouette.
The parallax scrolling technique was used heavily by Nintendo back in the day, as well as the PC demoscene. I'm willing to bet they pulled it out for SMB Wii as a sort of homage to the oldschool days.
Anyways, I vote that YOU start working on a LWP featuring PS in the SMB style (holy initialisms). The concept is simple enough.
thats how you play mario

I have no coding experience and wouldnt know where to start.
Someone just released a sweet live wallpaper with mario playing in the background... not exactly what i wanted, but still pretty cool.
Found recently on the market pretty cool Doom2 live wallpaper by James Gittins. I like that it works fast and it is actually fun to play with. Just thought I'd share.

Loved the live wallpaper there.
Anyone got it already?!
looks nice.

It's not there...
look similar to coligma live wallpaper. Search it in market. There is a free and a paid version.
Looks nice but probably won't be out until new Nexus is out mate
