Nexusmod, but I think that recently got removed from the market. I also like aSpiritBomb and Pixel Zombies. Both of those are in the market, but kind of drain battery.

Found another one: Justpictures!
It's actually an image viewer (better than the default, in fact), but it also gives you a live wallpaper that cycles through select favorited pics. Probably doesn't drag down the system like other live wallpapers, too. Free, too.
Thunderstorm live by far my fav
pay app .99 worth every cent for me
Nevermind. I figured it out.
my fav is NexusKang live wallpaper 'found in the market.
I really like the Light Grid wallpaper. It isn't interactive, or move when you switch screens. It is really costomizable; different colors, different size blocks, etc.
Personally I like having seasonal wallpaper, and being able to change the colors frequently is a way to have consistency and variety together.

Wakka something or other. Its really pacman. Free. And customizable to the point that the board will form around your widgets. That and galactic core.
From a phone on an app
If someone knows of a wallpaper that uses the camera and works on the galaxy s please post the name.

shake them all, and zoomfield are pretty cool. i use zoomfield most of the time
'Seeds of Life' is awesome, and goes great with Samsung's TouchJizz if you have any sense of humor. You can find it in the market, along with 'Aquarium Free', 'AndWobble2 Premium' (if you're creative), and 'Bokeh Rainbow'
Well I was fed up of not having any decent livewallpapers on my hero and stumbled across a livewallpaper called video live wallpaper.
This livewallpaper lets you play a video loop as a wallpaper, having just installed dreamscenes on my laptop, I put two and two together and thought why not.
After a few hours of trying various conversion formats I have found the settings to run dreamscape mpg's (dreamscapes must be in video format not dream.) as a livewallpaper on your hero, this looks really good and makes the hero look like its running really complex live wallpapers!
Anyway it works really well and is very stable and looks really good, so thought I would share it! If you check out the short video you can see a few running!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp3pNwQetds
If you want to do this you will need:-
video live wallpaper app (free from market)
Any video converter (free on download.com)
dreamscences in a movie format (google them) or www.dreamscenes.org
You then simply need to convert the dreamscene and run it with the live wallpaper app.
Ive found that the optimum settings for conversion that give the best look/performance balance are:-
Profile= customisied AVI movie
Codec= XVID
Frame size = 352x240
Bitrate = 12000
Frame rate = 15
You can tweak these values but be warned I found that if you go too high your poor old hero will start locking up, at these values I get no performance issues and battery consumption is on par with other live wallpapers, anyway enjoy
Oh and just to be extra nice here are the three from the video, ready converted for you to try if you can't be bothered to convert your own
View attachment Bokeh_xvid.zip
View attachment reactor_1680_xvid.zip
View attachment silky-dance_xvid.zip
(Oh yeah btw you need a custom rom to run live wallpaper on your hero, search development if you dont know how!!)
And just so you know, on my phone ADW launcher didnt seem to like this wallpaper so I swapped to launcher pro and it was fine!
If anyone finds any other cool dreamscenes, please feel free to add them to this thread to give people a selection to use.
EDIT...here's a few more I've converted

this is fantastic. will be trying this tomorrow.
nice ! I will try it soon !
Looks great, thanks!
...and BTW: I love the swing effect when changing home screens, how did you achieve this? What ROM are you using? Is it possible with CM6?

ROM is froyo 2.2.1 special edition final with fly kernel 12a overclocked to 710mhz
Transition effects are in the latest launcherpro release
In theory any ROM should work as long as it has the live wallpaper hack included, not sure how they will perform, maybe some will run better than others, if anybody feels like posting performance results on other ROMs that would be useful
Just found a site with lots of free dreamscenes to play with
http://www.dreamscene.org

No problem my friend, theres also some cool transitions on ADW launcher now as well if you like that sort of thing
And a little update for anyone trying the dreamscene videos, there seems to be so sort of problem with the video live wallpaper app, after a few days use it starts to really affect performance on my phone, am thinking some sort of memory leak (Im no dev so not sure really) stopping app then rebooting sorts out the problem.
Anyway I've emailed dev about it but if anyones clued up and knows what there looking at, then any input would be good
Hey!
I'm the dev of the VLW. I downloaded one of the videos of the original post and I'll be testing it on my device to see it anything weird starts occuring after a while.
Though I have the Desire HD so I might not have any problems. We'll see.

Thanks for having a look at this for us, would be nice to use this as an every day live wallpaper......and yeah I reckon the desire hd will cope slightly better than our little old heros hehe
Very nice work!
When I get home from work I might try this on my Desire HD too
Very nice!!!!!
I have dug around looking for a tron legacy swype but the ones that I have seen have not been to my taste. I have watched Tron Legacy and noticed the digital keyboard when Sam wipes the dust off his dad's computer and wondered if anyone could do a Swype version of that digital keyboard. I have attached this picture below for reference to give an idea what I'm talking about.
Would be very cool and unique.
It would be possible but is also a bit of work but the issue would be the settings button and such would look out of place
The double line border would also not be visible at the edges. Because the letters go all the way to the edge of the screen pretty much.
Also having the letters visible on the keys might make it not look as nice.
Im not trying to discourage you, but if you are just looking for an exact theme it might be hard to accomplish.
EDIT : nvm on the letters it was just hard to see on the captivate.
Ill take a stab at it no one else does in the next couple of days. Would go nice with a theme idea I've had for awhile.
The movie was awful, though.

Nooooooooooo! say it isn't soooooo guess ill wait for redbox then huh?

I came to this thread hoping to see that someone had posted the keyboard to download, but I don't mind waiting till someone makes one if someone in fact intends to.
As far as the movie, I thought it was awesome. My only problem with it was that it looked like the CG animators had a hard time drafting over the older Jeff Bridges face with a younger one for the flashback and for CLU.
It may have helped the fact of my liking the movie since I'm an engineering major and I got the chance to nerd out, plus Olivia Wilde (plays Quorra) is just really attractive in my opinion.

Not seeing it in theaters/3D kind of defeats its only purpose.
Hey guys! I recently competed in Round II of the "Last Call for Google IO" challenge for Android which had us develop an Android version of the HTML5 countdown clock that is on the Google IO Homepage:
http://www.google.com/events/io/2011/
I threw it on my G-Tab when I was done developing it and I liked it so much I thought I'd create a live wallpaper from it, but change it from a countdown to Google IO to just displaying the system clock.
Trying to get a feel for how many people would actually use it. I've attached the standalone app I created so you can try it out.
Please let me know what you think!! Thanks,
-teleK
It's interesting, but would like to see more options on it.

I made that in 9 hours for the challenge. I barely finished let alone had time to add any options.
The Live Wallpaper will have options.
I like it! Good work!
Id rock this if it were available in a full live wall paper

Great, thanks!!
It would be an awesome lock screen wall paper..
Different colored balls maybe, amount of balls, maybe you can even add in different types of balls for a paid version? Like for sports fans- they can choose a baseball or basketball etc...If thats even possible LOL
Pretty cool. Some options I'd like to see:
1. Ability to change balls (color, size, shape)
2. Ability to change physics (gravity control, bounce speed)
3. Ability to interact with bouncing balls (move finger and cause them to change as if I actually bumped them)
4. Location on screen for date/time
5. If possible, have the balls interact with the icons/widgets on the screen - bounce between around as if they were real objects
Sorry for the Delay
Sadly I was not one of the 10 Android winners for the contest. However, I have finished turning my submission into a Live Wallpaper with the system clock and stuck it on the market.
I'm very happy with it so far but this is only the beginning. I plan to add accelerometer support, and a couple settings options as one of the other posters requested.
And who knows, if it sells well enough maybe I can afford to buy an I/O ticket from someone on eBay. So.... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? Go buy my app and try it out!!!

Pew pew is a great game for xoom. Very addicting.

First thoughts, nice to support the dev.
All the original game modes are still there, adds campaign, and 3 new challenge modes. Nice large update, but that's what it is... an update.
I reccomend it! I know ill be playing it for hours tomorrow haha.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
he could have used a better naming scheme, PewPew Lite/Free and PewPew rather than the one and two monikers. Still, one of the absolute best games out for android and I have actually grown to like it even better than geometry wars. I have also noticed some graphical touches not present in the original pewpew like the 3d oscilatting background in certain menus. Also much more music, I like the remix of the main theme. The campaign is imaginative and a fresh break from the challenge modes. Speaking of which, the new ones are pretty aweseme like "highway" for example, a massive circle of rotating enemys and you have to play in traffic to chase after a ball. This is my favorite game for android. No question. Especially for the Xoom!
