3D FireFlies Live Wallpaper 4:28 – 4:50
Swirls of colors cross path to make for a beautiful image in FireFlies livewallpaper. A rainbow of colors streak across screen, and the upgraded version allows users to change the length, width, and opacity of those streaks.
City At Night Live Wallpaper (4:51 – 5:21)
I’ve always loved the way that movies show fast-paced scenes of city scapes. The skyline is bold, lights flicker, cars move in a stream of light, and the clouds gently glide along. All of those elements are present in City at Night, and each can be customized to your liking.
Twisted Colors (5:22 – 5:45)
Hooray, more colors! With Twisted Colors, tadpole-like creatures swim across the screen and then disappear, making way for a new set of colors to appear. There are four options for color schemes.
PanoPlanet ($1.44)
PanoPlanet takes panoramic images and makes them exciting to twist and turn into something cool. You’ll have to get panoramic images on your own, but once you’ve got them, you’ll have a live wallpaper that follows your movements. Panorama-rama is very entertaining.
Note, Android 2.1 or higher is required to run an Android Live Wallpaper. Some phones may experience unique problems based on hardware issues. Download and attempt to install by following these steps:
Press Menu > Wallpaper
Press Live wallpapers
Scroll through to your desired wallpaper
Change settings (when available)
Tap “Set wallpaper”
Non-Android Market BONUS
Mario Live Wallpaper
Mario Live might be named the greatest Live Wallpaper of all time if you get a group of geeks together in one room. This will turn your wallpaper into random portions of the classic 8-bit game, allowing Mario to jump, smash, and fly through your screen. This is very resource intensive but it’s absolutely worth it. The app is not available in the Android Market, but you can download it from XDA.
Get the APK from this thread and then read our tutorial how to install it.
This is a really cool list. Giving them a try. I can't seem to download Living Music Wallpaper on my rooted Vibrant w/ stock. It's not showing up in the market. Is anyone else having that problem?
that's sound good…. Test
very.good
What are you running on your Evo ? I like the look way more than my stock Sprint Sense Ui
i'm using ADWLauncher, available for free in the Android Market
Good job
Great list! I would add TimeSlider to it, a slick 'date and clock' with the seconds, minutes, and hours sliding away. http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/t…
I am such a LWP junkie. Here are a couple of my favs: Aquarium Live Wallpaper (free & donation versions by KittehFace) – donation is well worth it for loads of added customization. Don’t have the aniPet one so I can’t compare. Rotating Earth – Cool as is but the extra map pack adds planets from sci-fi for increased geek pleasure. Flying Toast – Who doesn’t like flying toasters and toast? Substrate – A collection of artistic and interesting LWPs. One is sure to suit you. Glad I’m not the only one who loves these things.
will u have sex with me?
Did Aurora already get pulled from the market?
I am the developer of Living Music Wallpaper, someone brought to my attention that some users were unable to download it or find it in the market, I have posted it at my website, http://apps.bitbased.net, Downloading it from the website has the downside that it wont automatically update.
I would like to know whether you can make one for galaxy ? perhaps problem due to screen resolution, cannot retrieve the info & art of the song playing with default player. also, nothing happens after i add the widget.
On my side, I really like Cloudscape, it's quite simplistic, love it. http://www.everdusk.be/blog/2010/10/18/cloudscape…

What happened to the Wave wallpaper? That's my favorite of the ones in your video, but it is completely MIA both in the Marketplace and via some websites that have download links and Q Codes. The Labgency website is worthless as well. LOL
http://www.filestube.com/ey6KnD5tJwzlUcgDE7Jxdn/c… If you go to that website on your phone and download that via your phone you can install it and use it through your live wallpaper area.
Waves wallpaper is gone. Boo.
Waves Wallpaper is unavailable, but you can download it via your phone here and install it: http://www.filestube.com/ey6KnD5tJwzlUcgDE7Jxdn/c…
