Hi! I saw an animated background on my friends new sony-ericsson model (500i). It was really cool and had sparks flying and flowers blossom. All depending on the current weather forecast and time of season (new years eve had fireworks!). It would be really cool to have this on the kaiser. It would be cool not only to have an animated background but perhaps a low-cpu intensive applications that generate sparks / flowers growing or snow falling when the display is turned on (i.e not only an animated GIF but a program that generates the background effects randomly or by a certain behaviour - snow piling up etc..).
Does anyone know of such an application? Would be great!

I've been looking for the same thing but havnt found anything yet
Think there was something called "Animated Today" over at Handango (or PocketGear, etc). That was back in the day when I had an HTC Magician though, so who knows if it's still ticking along...
Have a look. I think it did gif and flash animations...?

I was wondering if there was any way to disable / get rid of the weather info that is displayed in the clock's background. Like the temperatures and that image of the sun, moon, clouds etc.
Ultimately I want to do that but at the same time still have the weather animations on the rest of the screen.
Can these things be done on the same on any same version of manila?

Have a look in the Leo General forum mate - there's a discussion ongoing in there. I think they've had mixed success. I can't really comment as I only really glanced at it - I'm happy to have the animation on the clock.
Hope this helps
Thanks brother. I will try to track it down.
I've been browsing websites home to UIs, theme makers, and forums like XDA... however I can't seem to find a UI or app that allows me to create or use animated themes.
By animated, I dont mean blinking backrounds, or car wheels spinning as your background picture.
I mean a theme that's buttons actually are animations or movie clicks.
For example, if you have a new text message, a banner will slide onto screen.
I have seen the wm7 themes for Throttlelauncher and WAD 2 have animations when some things are clicked, but from what I know, it is based on a code that blinks the images quickly. I could be wrong, or have no idea what I'm talking about.
Anyways, could anyone out there refer me to a UI that allows this, or a page that shows me how? Thanks!
Hey guys,
I released my first Android app, a live wallpaper, a few weeks ago and thought I'd post it here. It's a concept I've always thought about and thought would be cool to see as a live wallpaper.
In a nutshell, the wallpaper simulates "evolution" in a very loose sense, using a genetic algorithm. At first, it creates a bunch of small squares (or cells) with random colours. The wallpaper also defines an "optimal" colour, based on various measures, such as battery and time. For example, the more battery you have, the bluer the optimal colour is. Then, for each cell, the wallpaper calculates a fitness score based on how close the cell's colour is to the optimal colour. The fitness score determines the replication probability of the cells- higher fitness scores lead to a higher chance of replication. Child cells have a similar colour to their parent cells (although some mutation occurs).
In the end, you see your screen transform from a bunch of randomly-coloured squares into a roughly uniform lawn of the same colour.
Hope you enjoy it!
[I can't post links right now due to my post count, so just search "Evolution Live Wallpaper" on the market for now!]

Hi XDA, I was inspired by the Nexus 5 mountain wallpaper, so I decided to make this Parallax Wallpaper, but with Night and Day effects, and also beautiful spinning stars at night. I spent more than 2 years on it part time, hesitated a lot about it, but finally here it is!
Here’s a quick gif of what it looks like https://gyazo.com/35f34eb4fbde0a981aa952bbdf6634aa
Download the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.formless.parallax.live.wallpaper
Story of why I wanted to make this app:
When Nexus 5 came out, I remember seeing the pink mountain wallpaper that stunned me. It inspired me to make something like it but EVEN better. I thought about improving it, so I decided it would be amazing if I could add beautiful night stars to it. I looked at existing parallax wallpapers. Most of them just offer a simple parallax effect, but I wanted to take it a step further, so I added a spinning effect to the stars, much like the stars slowly moving at night. I also wanted it to be dynamic, and have a day/ night time effect, so that they transition beautifully. Here it is!
How is it different: Unlike the other parallax wallpapers, this one allows you to choose a day wallpaper and a night wallpaper and blends beautifully between day and night. The stars spin slowly in the background. You can customize the different day and night time wallpapers, set the sunrise/sunset times, and how fast you want the wallpaper to rotate.
Features:
• 11 backgrounds to choose from
• gyroscope effect
• Night and day transition
• Spinning wallpaper
• Earn points to unlock all wallpapers for free, or simply purchase for $2.49.
• battery consumption: Almost none. You can even turn off the accelerometer to save battery.
If you have any questions, please let me know! otherwise I'd appreciate your support. On some phones you'll notice that the foreground doesn't entire go to the bottom. I'm aware of this issue and will fix it. thanks all! .

On my S9 it's the opposite. The black bar is on top. Other than that I love this!
Will the wallpaper be higher resolution on upcoming updates? They look pretty blurry on an S8+
Hello, are there some requirements for this app? I can't get to install it as it is listed as not available on my devices.
Can't find the option to am/pm the wallpaper. Amazing effect. Just love it.
