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
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

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

that's ugly, anything that looks like an iphone is bad looking lol
It don't look anything like an iPhone, it looks like a typical Samsung.
Specs might be nice and I'm intrigued by the projector but that is one ugly phone and its made by Samsung, I wouldn't be interested in owning one.
Horrible!
I´ll stay with HTC!!!
knowing samsung, the build quality will be shocking.
But I do like the idea of having a projector on a phone, as long as the output is decent quality. Beats having to look at a screen to watch a movie! Specs are nice though.... but it is going to be so wide, surley. Imagine dropping it as well...

the kids with the TI-89's gave me hell when I was rocking the superior HP-49g in college. Little did they know that my calculator could, quite literally, divide by zero. Symbolically of course but it would do it. The 4Mhz O/C'd saturn processor for the win!
Who ever can get one of the new laser based pico projectors from AAXA or Microvision into a smartphone without killing battery life will get my money... hopefully by that time I'll either have saved up enough pennies or the cost of the lasers will have come down

It's like ZottD is dead or something, no posts on his webpage about anything for 2 months. I hope he's just working behind the scenes, and hopefully not doing what the rumors are about going back to development on iOS. :/
no zodttd is answering people daily on his twitter page, and he says he's working
Good to hear! definitely looking forward to trying an n64 emu... man I imagine it would be hard for touchscreen controls only though for most games. .... maybe not though.

I am not excited about this. Psx4droid is mediocre and un usable if I don't find an old version and n64 is much more graphically intensive. His iphone psx4all runs much smoother on lesser hardware.
I hope the fpsce team chooses to make and android app.

You think its unplayable? Its perfectly playable when you have the phone running 1ghz or higher...the sound is just distorted sometimes. I think they have a pretty good beta. I want someone to finih it.
That being said, the n64 used too many buttons simultaneously to work good on a phone imo...

I think the older versions are playable actually i do play them some. For the current version in the market every game I have tried to play has had completely broken sound. The most typical problem is the it either slows waay down or hangs completely. With no sound the nostalgia feel is easily cut in half for me so i usually just sigh and say whats the point and do something else.

Lags quite a bit on my galaxy s captivate running 2.2.
After a couple of restarts it began to run a bit better but there's still quite a bit of lag, for example when dashing through a star.
Overall, doesn't seem nearly as polished as the iOS version. My old second gen iPod touch would run this game perfectly.
I hope the developers actually support the app and iron out all the bugs, not just forget about it after the initial release.

Runs well on my Galaxy S (Android 2.3.3).
It also runs quite slow and FC's every now and then on my Galaxy S 2.2.1 at 1.5Ghz... I was a little disappointed. My friend with a G2 with CM7 at 1.57Ghz could barely run it as well. The funny thing is that it ran smooth as could be on my girlfriend's Aria running 2.2 @806Mhz when her phone barely runs Angry Birds... When it runs it is fun though.
runs a little laggy on galaxy s 4g but great game i hope they come out with more I went and bought it after I saw this post.

only lcd density 240 is working with the game, as soon as you have something else the unicorn dies instantly at the start ;( you cant do anything ;(
Yeah I've heard as much. Unfortunate, to say the least. Haven't messed with my DPI in a while, in part because a few apps just didn't play well. I wish i could still do it, and hopefully in time I won't have reasons to not do so on my end. This was even before RUA so I never noticed it. Hoping for an update .. for more than a few issues.

So the recent update removed open faint and that seems to have done nothing to improve performance this game i think has shown me how bad adobe air really is... There is no other reason why a game this simple lags so bad that it's unplayable.... I got my. 99 cents worth out of it but if every adult swim game ideas going to be as quick and dirty as this then I don't see paying for them at all

after using the GS2 for few days,, i am back to O2X

So yeah. title says it all. i got my hands on O2X and i kept it. but i also found a used SGS2 and i decided to keep it. try them both. and sell the one that i dont like. and i decided to sell the SGS2 . which i did and made a 100$ profit. but to that later.
the build quality :
without a question. the O2X had a much solid feel in your hand. heavier. felt like an expensive phone. the SGS2 is very light,. all platicy it feels like a toy not an expensive phone
Screen :
i loved them both. the super amoled plus is stunning. a joy to watch movies in it. the 4.3 is abit big for my taste. so it made the phone bigger. on the other hand i love the IPS display on the O2X. kinda remind me of the iphone 4 one. which is a good thing. both screens had good response. both screens had problems. banding/ grid pattern on low brightnesss with dark gray backfround on SGS2 and light leakege on top of the screen from both sides on my O2X.
Software/ Hardware :
this was the deal breaker for me. the SGS2 is super smooth. but thats as far as it goes. 60% of the good high end games cant be played on SGS2. and they need a software update. the Mali 400/ Oxynos whatever its called doesnt support the same format structure and texture all the other phones do " Nexus S, Galaxy S, Adrinao 205 whatever " so i found my self most of the new Gameloft games doesnt work at all.
they need a software update. and whatever this happens or not, its up to developers. hell even games like run ninja doesnt run very smooth.
Emulators. the N64, the PSX emulators. all run better on Tegra 2. not much of difference. but you can see the difference easly.
the GPU " as of now " lacks alot in the SGS2.
plus. i really love what Nvidia is doing with Tegra zone games. to get those awesome looking games is something very nice. with the SGS2, i found my self playing SGS1 games. that if they were able to run in the first place.
please note. i am not saying the SGS 2 is bad device. i am saying that as of now, the Tegra 2 devices are better " read : Atrix/ O2X "
and i think i will skip the SGS2 till they release the Tegra 2 SGS2. then i will consider switching.
but if you are a gamer like me, dont even think of doing it.
Not possible, the SGS2 is the best phone in the world and touched by the hand of God.
All those games that won't load up are just scared because of the awesome speed of mali.
tegra 2, wtf is that, that's ancient technology, good for a table coaster.

im sure my viewpoint would be the same as the OP if my O2X actually worked. The phone was nice but I cant be proud of a phone that randomly decides when it wants to reboot or freeze. I really had high hopes for the O2X and may consider switching back if LG gets off its butt and addresses/fixes the problems.
For the money that either phone costs they should just work.

i have lg2x for about 2-3 weeks and mine never rebooted even once!!!maybe you are unlucky about reboots..i had iphone 4 and i had all the times reboot..maybe 15-20 reboots per day!now i dont have even one reboot with lg2x!my opinion is to give to the repair service of LG and tell them to replace it with a new one!
as for the sgs2 i had it for 2 days and hmmm...lg2x gaming and web browsing is faster than sgs2...!!that is enough for me and guess what??
LG2X has still 2.2.2 stock rom and 1 ghz
SGS2 has 2.3.3 1.2ghz
wait for the official gingerbread for lg2x and see the smoothness and speed!
nuff said..!
thing is Im in afghanistan and cant afford to take another chance that LG will repaor the phone. Im sure you have seen the threads of the wide spread issues with the O2X. I think maybe you are the lucky one to have a phone with no reboots/freezes as it seems the majority have problems with the O2X.
I did like the phone a lot but because of my location and the how long the shipping time is from the US to the military bases here. I just cant take a gamble. In my mind a 600.00 phone should work the first time.

I'm in love with my o2x also, without backlight bleeding and more ram it would be perfect. Also a different cover on the back would be nice.
Also i must say i had no reboots and freezes. But the screen has some response issues sometimes.

For more RAM, there is a kernel that frees up 64mb so you will have around 430, not 360 or so. It's still in development, dev made some errors and he will fix them today (probably).
I used Samsung before and i don't really like their support because they launch the phone then leave you to die, so now i am using LG2x and i like their support so far, besides, the tegra chip is damn nice for games.

i have the exact issue with the backlight bleeding but i am living with it. i figured if i decided to keep the phone for very long time, i can just order a screen. it costs like 50$ for the OEM version too. which is not expensive.

I Love This Freakin' Thing...

Been an N7 owner for months and it's been a freakin' delight. It has exceeded my (demanding) expectations and has earned the #1 spot for my go-to device whenever I need to do anything online, or do anything digital for that matter. My Galaxy Nexus sits on my desk relegated to it's role as a phone, and my laptop is almost never used at all.
I run it bone stock, locked and un-rooted. It's fast, reliable and a hands-down joy to use. When I think that I paid $199 for it, it just broadens my smile just a bit more.
Just wanted to spread a little love here.
Agreed 100%. I still use my gnex alot because the screen is just a pleasure to look at.
Only downside is the lack of color calibration, mines a little yellowish.
I ordered the dock from the play store and it will be here today so in sure I'll just use it more now.
Def root it. Easy and the ROMs out are awesome.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I gotta say.. Paranoid Android made me love my N7 that much more.
Another agree ...rooted but mostly stock 4.2.2 ..the IPad sits idle most of the time.. I did install Hosts and have root explorer, etc.
I have been all over rooting my GNex - right from the start - and it still is, running a great ROM, latest radios, etc.
But, my N7 remains untouched and for some reason, I like it that way. I use Nova to provide a little customization from a launcher perspective, but otherwise, there's nothing else I am jonesin' for.
Never thought that a tablet would provide any utility for me, especially since I have such a cool customizable phone with a big screen, and a laptop for when I need that bigger screen with a keyboard. But somehow, the N7 squeezed in there and bumped 'em both out of that space.

Forgot to mention...
Besides my Gnex and laptop being relegated to 2nd and 3rd string status as my go-to devices, I've noticed that I also fire-up my TV much less.
Even though I can watch all the shows I want on my laptop, there's something about the 7" size of the N7 that makes it the perfect thing to grab when I want to park on the couch and watch a show. Frankly, I never thought I would even use a tablet this much, and if the N7 wasn't such a freakin' joy to use, I def would still sitting with my laptop.
Did I say?
I love this freakin' thing.

I'm fighting with lawyers to make the marriage with my nexus 7 legal.

I too am surprised at how much I love this thing (32Gb purchased locally) I need almost nothing else for consumption. Since I've gotten a hold of this thing all I've really used my PC for is transcoding movies to copy over to the Nexus 7.
The other surprise is how well it works as a Kindle. Why anyone would buy the Amazon branded tablet is a mystery to me. I haven't so much as touched my second gen 6" Kindle in over a month.
I just wish it had infrared...
First time on this site in quite a while. I'm off to find out what's cool to put on my N7!
love mine, root Paranoid android,trinity kernel ,6000 in benchbark
Root it!

I have been all over rooting my GNex - right from the start - and it still is, running a great ROM, latest radios, etc.
But, my N7 remains untouched and for some reason, I like it that way. I use Nova to provide a little customization from a launcher perspective, but otherwise, there's nothing else I am jonesin' for.
Never thought that a tablet would provide any utility for me, especially since I have such a cool customizable phone with a big screen, and a laptop for when I need that bigger screen with a keyboard. But somehow, the N7 squeezed in there and bumped 'em both out of that space.

I also have a N7 and love it as well
I run completely stock like you
However, with wugfresh
It's a 1-click to unlock
And another click to root
Furthermore both can be undone with 1 click as well
But just being able to make a nandroid backup alone is enough reason to root
Plus there are several "must have" apps for rooted devices only
So I strongly suggest you reconsider
Run stock... But too easy not to root
I also have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0)
I have to say the color seems so much better
But there's nothing like a Nexus :victory:

The N7 is definitely a best buy. I have the 16GB version. Sure, vibration would be nice for gaming, but I don't really mind. A better camera would also be nice, but, hey! The only alternative I would consider would be the 32GB UMTS (?) version.
just got my nexus 7 a week ago this past friday and i love the thing mine is unlocked and rooted but runs the stock os i have stick mount and a otg cable so i can more memory along with mx player which is a great player
Months later, I am driven to dredge-up this old thread.
Gotta say it again - I still love this freak'in thing!
Snappy performance, beautiful screen, long battery life, wonderful build quality, 100% reliable. It is still my go-to device for just about everything.
Never rooted. Bone stock.

New user and I agree with you totally. It's really a brilliant device. When I read the OP I was totally expecting the "but..." :silly:
