suggestion for animated wallpapers? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Which dont drain the battery a lot and look awesome on the note8?

Try Amoled live wallpaper. Free in Play Store. I don't know yet whether it's a battery drainer on the Note 8, but it sure is pretty!

Try Cells 2, free on Playstore. Nice configurable light show.

There are 8 different types of wallpapers you can apply and the battery drain isn't bad but you can change the quality of it to make it drain less battery.

If you like Weather, try the Weather Now app. I use my own Pano Shot as a wallpaper. Really cool weather animations. Been using it since the S7E and on the S8+. Battery usage was noticeable but I'm getting the best battery life on my N8 even with the Live Wallpaper.

I use live earth wallpaper. Looks amazing on the Note 8 and OP3

c'mon =.=
It seems to depend on what you use to set the wallpaper. Default Gallery does a terrible job, where using QuikPic the outcome is much better.
Wallpaper Set & Save is the best bet. I have no idea why the disparity between apps though.

High Definition Live Wallpapers

Our device has got one of the highest pixel densities out there with a large screen to boot, meaning most things look like garbage on it.
If you find any higher-res live wallpapers out there on the market, post links to them here and I'll keep the OP updated.
Thanks!
Paperland Pro Live Wallpaper - due to it's simplicity, the wallpaper still looks petty good
Mystic Halo Live Wallpaper - has a setting for hd phones, actually looks pretty great
The Nautilus - really fun with a lot of touch controls
Video Live Wallpaper - Set your own or selected videos to loop; pretty great

Those are both great, thanks!

What screen mode are you using?

As with previous Samsung devices you can choose between various display modes, some are more accurate than others and different people prefer different look. Which mode are you running?
Adaptive display- Far too saturated colors, white point is too high(blue)
AMOLED Cinema- less saturated than Adaptive display but white point is still too high
AMOLED Photo- colors are slightly too saturated, white point is pretty good(right around 6.5k).
Basic- This is suppose to be the most accurate mode according to display mate but the UI and icons look washed out(perhaps because the UI colors were designed with very high saturation in mind?) . This mode is great for photos and videos though.
Update - I've started using basic mode. It took much longer than expected to get use to it but once I did I won't look back.
I'm using cinema as I think it looks the best
I personally always go for the most technically accurate, which is funny cause it's called basic mode lol.
I just use adaptive. Then it aaaaaaaaaadapts. Which is fine. Basic is too washed out for me. Maybe Ill do a week basic and see if it grows on me, though.

I don't think adaptive display does a great job at adapting lol at least not from what I have seen....I've compared Note 4s side by side at work and adaptive doesn't really seem to adapt at all regardless of the type of media that is being displayed, still looks far to saturated and the white point is too high. Some people like that though which is why it's set to that by default.

I though the same thing as well, at first. Cinema mode looked more like my Galaxy S4 which I was use to. I decided to give photo mode a go though since its significantly more accurate and it grew on me after a few hours. It takes a while for your eyes and brain to readjust.
Yeah I think I'll try out basic for a while and see if it grows on me.
I've just switched to basic. I used the equivalent of it on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 which also had an amoled display and I soon got used to the correct colours. Every time the phone rebooted it would start in the default before switching and you could see just how over saturated the colours are.

Yeah, same here. After using the stock color mode for years, it took me a while to get used to the accurate colors. But once I did, I could see the difference in how over saturated the colors were on stock mode. But it's definitely a preference, some people like the colors to pop.
Oversaturated colors are the best thing about AMOLED in my opinion.
Still using basic here. HAHAHAHA. But planning to try Cinema soon
I use adapted display. Don't care how accuracy color is Basic, it just wash out to me.
Cinema is crazy saturation.
Photo mode a bit yellowish, too warm.
I like cinemas cool color as photo is too warm for my tastes. I never use adaptive and basic looks off to me.

Trying with adaptative... will see how it behaves or I'll go back to Cinema.
Cinema for the best white.
Using Cinema, loving it!
Do you think adaptative display, for obvius reasons, consumes more battery than the others?
I use photo for now because I like the high saturation that comes with it (it's not that high anyway since I use it dimmed back a bit).

Actually its supposed to save on battery power.

Which Screen Mode for display ?

Just curious which Screen Mode setting people prefer on the Display settings ? Is any one better on battery life or those mides don't effect battery ? Which mode really makes this awesome Note 5 show off it's screen best ?
AMOLED cinema seems to bring out the deepest and richest colors, and the purest white whites. Where Photo seems the most subdued and neutral colors.
Can we tweak the display like we can on Nexus or CM ROM's with kernel apps ?

Well i like cinema allot but im little worried about battery drain and/or oled life span not sure if it speeds it up in anyway or not i cant find an answer but if your not worried about either of those I'd pick cinema why would i want dull colors while i could have beautiful rich colors it just pops and really shows of what these screens can do i have a g4 as well and quantum display just seems to have more color and seems more attractive so ya show of that amoled let the colors burst every time you unlock the screen
