Thinking bout purchasing one but been spoiled with animated wallpapers, would suck being stuck with a static wallpaper. I've searched high and low and can't find any info.
Thank you
Or perhaps Mosaic 3D live wallpapers?
Currently using paid version on my Essential PH1 , but with the ghost screen touches on this phone, and to touches that don't register, I need to upgrade.
Will you buy a new phone based on the working status of a live wallpaper?

Hey, I know it's in these forums somewhere I just can't find it. How do I get fullscreen wallpapers on my Samsung Captivate, will froyo offer it?
Thanks in advance
What exactly do you mean? Wallpapers can already cover the entire screen...

Well the way the wallpapers are now they stretch over however many home screens we have. Well, I went minimalist having only one screen and it still gives the stretch look. I just want the fullscreen as the iphone has.
Thanks
In Launcher Pro you can disable wallpaper scrolling. I think that would get you what you are looking for.
Hey everyone, I was wondering what live wallpapers you guys have found that work on our phone.
Ones that I have found that work are:
Light Grid
Maps
Nexus Revamped
Star Wars ESB
The Matrix
Other cool ones like ParticleStorm, Solar Winds, VR Tunnel Lite won't work.
Loving the Livewallpapers on the Eris!!

yes I've used all these and many more many times over including the cool ones that dont work due to incompatible resolutions like vr tunnel, seeds of life, circuit board, pano planet earth rot ect...you have to work your mojo to get them to stick and they often wont stick forever (just turning off your screen will cause many of these to revert back to your last static wallpaper) but they can be made to stick long enough to impress your friends. the ONLY live wallpaper I've tried that absolutely will not work is Silhouette. It does a funky split screen stuff that just wont behave no matter what. none of the samsung ports have ever worked on my phone either.
Thanks! Got some of these installed! Anyone else? Some really good ones there!

I was wondering if any of the aquarium LWP's worked. I tried the two aniPET ones, and they don't work, but the idea of having a virtual fish tank on your screen is kind of cool =]
Oh, and this one works too. Its the one I'm using right now. SMB FTW!

Edit: just installed the New York Giants one from WebApse. I don't know if the other one worked (from SilentDesign I think), but this one does. Even though the Giants have been done since week 17...still gotta love it =]
Can anyone tell me where I can get these and how I install them ?

first phone must be rooted and loaded with a rom that support live wallpapers (most froyo and eclair roms at this point). All the ones I listed are directly from the android market and most free.
It seems hit or miss which work and which don't some of those on the list didn't want to work on my phone.
Peace

some may have been updated to higher resolution, unsupported openGL (beautiful widgets weather for one) but for the most part all should work. I'm curious to which ones on the list didn't work for you.
thanks for this list. been hit and miss for which ones work on my rom. but good resource.
any that have updated to OpenGL ES wont work or wont work well:
Beautiful Widgets (old works great but if you dont have it backed up cant get it)
Nexxus Revamped (same. old works great, new is OpenGL ES)
list will probably get larger. do NOT do update if you see the update includes OpenGL ES (both the above describe in update description).
Anyone have The old nexus revamped?

I second this. It would be a great addition to my gallery and a nice change.
Hello xda I have been out of the android department for a while. To be exact its been since December of 2011 and since than I have been a member of the iOS family. I have recently gotten back into the world of android with a galaxy s4. Unfortunately I have run into a problem that I used to all the time when I had my old htc evo. The wallpapers do not fit. They are always zoomed in. Regardless of the crop it zooms in. Some launchers allow the scrolling effect which if you scroll the five slides you see the whole wallpaper but I am not really looking for that. I was more hoping to see the whole wallpaper at all times (like I do on iphones). I have seen post about different wallpaper apps that can crop the wallpaper to fit right but unfortunately those are not working for me either. They always zoom it to far out and half my screen is black while the middle is the wallpaper. I just dont get why this was an issue almost 3 years ago and it still is....

This is very easy to do depending on your launcher but the instructions also vary depending on your launcher, so what launcher are you using? I personally recommend Nova. Do you also have a specific wallpaper? If your wallpaper isn't made to fit (ie 1920x1080) then som if it will just have to be cropped.
You can also try Wallpaper Wizardri from the market.

A vey good afternoon.
My name is Claudio from Italy.
I'm about to purchase my new galaxy alpha.
Premise: I change my phone every 6 months, have had iphones, notes and etc... But the best has always been my sensation XL.
I loved the animated weather lockscreen and widget and never found a way to bring them to my samsungs or Iphones. Any of you made it? I mean, there are similar lockscreens and widgets but that was absolutely fantastic!!!!! Said that........
Is there any chance to change the black background in the samsung menu to white or at least silver?
I really hate that black background.
Thank to everyone who will help.
Claudio
No, i dont mean live wallpapers as they are today - video footage.
I used to have nice wallpapers on old phones (S1, S2) that would react to touch - signals spreading via pcb traces from finger upon poking the screen, rings in water surface growing, strange cube undulating landscape, etc, etc.
There was even a wallpaper i could play with - some sort of bacteria growing wallpaper, where upon poking the screen you spawn life, that needs to feed on other spawns of different colors...
Gyro activated wallpapers, sound reactive, touch responsive - that sort of thing.
Yeah, yeah, battery life... dont care
All i find now is "look at this aerial night new york footage" live wallpaper... bleh. Just got S21 Ultra and well disappointed in wallpapers...
#EDIT1# Ha, found my old microbes.apk live wallpaper, the microbe feeding thing Still works on S21 Ultra...Noice... And its from ICS gen...oof... i feel old...
