I used it for about five minutes and it lagged the heck out of my phone. Like, my phone became nearly unusable. A lot of people like it though, so apparently I'm an exceptional case.

Strange it is one of the only Live wallpapers that does not cause the phone to lag.
been using this for awhile. the only thing I don't like is that you have to reset your presets after you reboot. for me at least
This is brilliant. Really smooth on my NS and I like the customisation options.

Yea u need a phone with cojones to run this. Not every phone would run it smooth. I tried it on my evo and scrolling was terrible ...on my NS it doesn't affect anything. It runs like if Im not running a live wallpaper ..this phone is crazy or gingerbread? Or the hummingbird CPU? Or wtf? Lol

Same here. I tried it on my Nexus One and although it was still perfectly usable there was a noticable lag to the scrolling and app drawer. The gpu on the S makes a lot of difference I think.
I have a Nexus S. Stock 2.3.1 unrooted. I guess I should have mentioned that, I just didn't bother since it's in the Nexus S forum. >.>
Or better yet, I should get one of those fancy technical signatures where people describe in too-much detail their current phone and phone history.

LIKE !
Made my day man!
LOL !
1 LWP replaced 2 other ones that i had installed (Bezier & Flurry)
this Solar Wind is exactly what i was looking for, both of those other 2 i had just didn't cut it for me
same idea, just better realizided by Solar Wind
... you know what is missing ?
Touch effects, like touch the screen, and a new stream shoots out or something like that (sort of like the nexus LWP)
Sure is pretty. And smooth. But a little busy for me. Am I missing it or is there not a way to customize colors? Would love just white particles.

SO TRUE!
touch effects would be a real burner...but the LWP is young, maybe theyre adding it...email the devs to force ^^
This live wallpaper rocks, I like the undertow style. Doesn't slow down the Nexus S at all which is the best part. Only thing that kinda sucks is a shorter battery life but not by much.
Great find! Just downloaded for my Epic and it is absolutely stunning
>Thing is, its only some KB large and even working great on low end devices. wifey is running it on a stock wildfire

Enjoy

This will be a solid app after a few more updates. Runs fairly slow and feels clunky. I am sure it will get there though. Can't wait!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Finally! geeez
Been waiting for this! Awesome sauce!
I've been waiting for this thing to come out since I got my XOOM and was pretty excited yesterday. However I must agree it does seem pretty slow. It took way to long to download 1 magazine and I even had problems with pages never becoming clear until after I skipped a page or 2 then went back. Overall I still love it, when the pages are clear they are more crisp and clean than nook or kindles magazines and the obvious fact there are a lot more magazines to choose from.

good first impressions. surprised to see how well the nexus 7 screen looked when it was streaming the movie. UI looks very snappy. looking forward to your full video review. Right be a good idea to show off some tegra3 optimized games like Dead Trigger. also on how fast the stock chrome browser is.

I like the video. Simple enough to cover the basics of the tablet (screen, video, jellybean, etc.) and a simple comparison against the fire. The video didn't go too much in depth against the Fire but that'd be a separate video in itself.
Which rooting video was that you were talking about? Can't find one myself.

I did misspeak you are correct.
I'll be sure to bring that up!
I gave you a thumbs up! All these videos, I still cannot believe how snappy that tablet looks. Cannot wait until tomorrow.
For me: embedded YouTube videos run much better in the browser than before... They were unwatchable in 4.3.

Sent from my obsolete Teletubby. I want a new model with no external antenna and a touch screen in 16:9.
ART which made it possible for me to not requiring to buy a Nexus 5 at this point.
Does art speed up the actual app (like scrolling, etc) or just load times?
The smart dialer is by far the best feature.

I use a commercial software to scan my documents with the Nexus 4 camera and turn them into PDF.
I was used to upload them into Dropbox and print them as soon as I got into my office.
Now I just point (for theatrical) my Nexus 4 towards the printer and shazam! I got a copy of my documents

Actually, with regards to embedded videos, it does not seem to work anymore for those that I have in my Pocket articles.
Just a "Couldn't load plug-in" error message.
But other than that, i think the new dialer does mirror my usage style of not keying in numbers all the time, but just that few contacts. nice feature there.
1 - ART. That makes me keep my Nexus 4 and now only waiting for Nexus 6 next year
2 - The new dialer. A think Google got a point here.

Embedded videos work better but the actual YouTube app has gotten worse videos stutter horribly.

- The dialer: It seems a lot less...bland...and I feel like i want to use it more. (Bonus points for the fact it brought up the name of the take-away i've been using for the past few weeks that I never knew the name of)
- The hidden UI when browsing fullscreen content also makes that bit of a difference to me
Dialer is cool. Like the full screen browser too and overall better battery life.
All the new UI related things, and ART as internal thing.
PrOn Pages dont lag on Chrome when Art is enabled

Gel question.
It would suit me much better if I could remove search bar from homescreen.
Any idea for that?

Nothing much. It's an incremental update, hyped by blogs and obsessives. Roll on android 6.00

Yes but you're not going to like it. Uninstall Google Search completely from your device, then install the AOSP launcher from CM11 rom, it's the same as Google launcher without the Google Now integration. It doesn't gone an extra row for home screen either, but it does show more apps in the drawer.

Yes the dialer has been my main frustration for a long time, having no t9 support. When it did, the limited display of 3 contacts with only name + number was somewhat dissapointing, especially since htc implemented that feature from day one it seemed.
I do miss the opportunity to switch functions using a swipe though (the dialer pad button is a little hard to press wile on a bicycle ), but overall I think it's a huge improvement, especially with the mentioned bonus point that it identifies numbers from businesses that are not in my contacts!
I like how Google didn't give us transparency on stock /s
I would say the new dialer and music lock screen are my favorites so far

One of my few frustrations with the tablet has been a laggy feel while browsing in Chrome. So after a bit of research, try this tweak and see if it feels faster for you:
1. In a new tab, surf to chrome://flags/#max-tiles-for-interest-area
2. Change value from "default" to "512"
3. Click button on bottom that says "relaunch now"
Enjoy!
I'm using the beta and is awesomely smooth

Tested the 10.5" at Bestbuy during the week-end and found Chrome was quite laggy. I installed the Beta (that i usually use on my phone), it was not really better. Scrolling on web sites like dpreview.com wasn't smooth at all.
I have to test again I guess. That prevented me from buying the tablet. For me web browsing experience has to be great a on new tablet.

You have to remember to close all the open apps on those display units at best buy, sometimes almost every app is open lol. The demo unit I tried everything lagged till I closed all those running apps.
That said, my unit at home is smooth on all fronts.
I have the 10" here at home, and that's what I'm experiencing on Chrome Beta, which is what I use.
I think my Nexus 5 has spoiled me.

This trick helped immensely. Thank you for posting it. Now I just need to wait for root for the 8.4 and I'll be able to get rid of some crap to speed it up even more.

The particular item: "#max-tiles-for-interest-area" will be highlighted at the very top of the page in yellow as soon as you enter the address. It's the only thing that will be highlighted. It will say: "Maximum tiles for interest area Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android". Change the option below it.
Thanks it did improve the browsing speed on chrome. I was a bit worried because of the lags. The browsing was faster on my sony tab z then on tab s.. not any more .
I have tried Chrome browser (with max-tiles-for-interest-area = 512) on several 10.5" and always find it quite laggy.
I have closed all apps, etc.
The scrolling on web sites with lot of pictures like dpreview , theverge.com, etc. is definitely not smooth. An iPad air for example is lot more fluid.
I like the 10.5" but not sure to buy it until I see a good web browsing demo on it.
I have found the Next Brower to be very good

My iPad lags bad and even freezes sometimes viewing live blogs. Was about to throw it in the trash but will take advantage of Best Buy $100 trade in offer.
