[REQ] live wallpapers that have real backgrounds to them

i hate to be picky. but it seems that all of the live wallpapers out there have one color or even more even have all or mostly black backgrounds that are just too dark to fully appreciate my widgets and icons (beautiful widgets and weather widgets have translucent frames). so what ends up happening is i keep going back to the "nexus" live wallpaper. i love all of wallpapers being developed but i would love to see some more texture and color.

I had that same problem. The only widget I use is the Beautiful Home Widget. What I ended up doing was the Starfield live wallpaper with the "naked" Beautiful Widget skin which actually looks really good.

i use beautiful widgets with naked skin with earth live wallpaper and chose one background of the three it gives. Its excellent.

Yea, i do love the rotating earth live wallpaper but its the exception to the rule.

There is one app called Live Waterpaper....u can make ANY picture from gallery as a Live Wallpaper(somewhat, with ripples).U should try that.

I'm using that one. It's nice and subtle, my favorite so far.

[Request] Smaller HTC Clock/Weather Widget

I hate the stock clock/weather widget but I am in love with those full screen weather animations on unlock.
I'm just gunna throw this out there, it would be badass if someone could modify the native htc clock/weather widget to be a 4x1 widget similar to the yr.no 4x1 weather widget. That way people could have the best of both worlds, badass lightning/wiper blades on their screen without the clock taking all that valuable screen real estate!

Wish mine worked....

Go grab beautiful widgets from the market..
you can make it similar to the sense clock but in a 1x4

Right, but then you lose the full screen weather animations when you unlock, right? I was under the impression these were only possible with the HTC widget.

I'm not sure. I know you can get a live wallpaper that shows the weather with beautiful widgets...

What you want, is for the Dev of Cookie HomeTab to make the same for the EVO as he has done for the HD2. Great customization for the sense UI, while still keeping full functionality. Weather animations and all.

I checked it out. Almost makes me want a WinMo device.....almost lol. An android port of that would be amazing. Co0kieMonster's donate button would probably blow up even more if that happened....

i just came over to the Evo from Energy Rom on Windows Mobile. I had cookie on that, and I think it's the ONLY thing (Besides easy wifi tethering) that i miss on my touch pro 2.

Sincerely hoping for a similar clock like the one in CHT for winmo... requested it over at ppcgeeks a while ago with no results.... really miss that also

I was JUST about to post this same request. Now I'll just add to this thread.
I would love a 4x1 and/or 2x1 HTC Clock Widget with the animation functionality.

To those who have used beautiful widgets & live weather wallpaper how does the live weather wallpaper compare to htc's weather animations?

I'm tired of the big clock all together, but love the weather animations. The big clock can look good, but I wear a watch and the time is up top also so what waste of realestate. I'd like to keep the weather widget though (with the animations) so really hoping there will be a way to make it more configurable like Cookie did (more so even -no clock!). Also would really like it if moon phases could be incorporated too.

The live wallpaper looks really good and is really customizable.
My only issue is I don't really like live wallpapers.
The bw widget will show an animation when you tap the weather part of the widget, i would love if there was an option to display that animation over the home screen when you unlock the device. It would be perfect!

Thanks for sharing!

Wow nice. Will get.
[unrealistic]If it is possible to have the actual live location as the background it would be even more cool.[/unrealistic]

It is great but I wish it has huge widget so I can put it on whole page in my launcher. Now it is only icon until I press it to launch.

I would buy it, but I doubt something like this will run very well on my G1. Looking forward to trying it though!

Been using this for a while actually! Pretty good! Looks nice, feels nice, does it's job

I get black lines flicker on the display when this is open. Apart from that I really like it.

Looks alot like Touch Weather by MobilityFlow WM

Love it! Thank you very much for share! I wish to set it up like live wallpaper in the future! Thank you

Thanks so much for share this fantastic application.. really good work.

This is great, I'd buy the pro version right now if it included a live wallpaper.
Saying that, I wouldn't mind more backgrounds, or maybe the ability to choose your own would be cool.
I ended up watched the effects through two full rotations, just couldn't put it down.
Love the lightning but I find the rain a little boring, sry.
Just curious but where are you getting your weather info from?

Cool thing!
Although a 4x2 Widget, maybe animated, would be the greatest

great looking app, would love to purchase once it's in a more finished form. live wallpapers, more/customizable backgrounds, a better widget.
looks great so far tho,keep up the good work !

runs fine on G1

Really nice app, hope for a nice widget soon.

not so good on the nexus one... everytime i click to open something or change something i get force closes, such as changing the location from village to lake or something it force closes...

WOW!!! awesome work on this app. HTC should take a page out of your book.

I wish real weather sounds could be added.

Ya, it doesn't work at all for me on the N1. I get a force close every time I open it!
Great looking app though.

Kinda pixelated on my Evo

[Q] Live Weather Wallpaper

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if a live wallpaper existed like the one that was presented for a concept phone.
Window Phone Concept
Really love this, the transparency is obviously not possible, but a animated weather layer like that over a simple wallpaper would be awesome!
Kind regards,
Tobias

Beautiful widgets has one in the market. Works great in my evo.
If you have beautiful widgets base package, the wallpaper reflects current conditions.

Not really the same realistic effect as the Window Phone Concept, it's a start but not as pretty.

New to xoom a couple questions?

So I have the Xoom and was wondering what clock widgets you guys are using? I tried beautiful widgets and fancy widget pro, They both look like hell. The hero clock in black from factory widget looks okay but I am wanting something better. Also any ideas for some good live wallpapers? I have the Auroras and Bluesea. I have light grid pro. Also something better would be good. I can buy as well from market, just wanting to maximize it you know. Also many of my movies are .avi any good players for these as realplayer beta normally do this but not on xoom any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Shokouhi

You can use moboplayer or rockplayer for the videos. As for the clocks and lwp's you will have to pick for yourself what you like. Try reading through the "post your homescreen" thread. Most of the time they list what they use or answer it a few post later. Hey.....its a start.

For live wallpapers, I like jumpgate, any matrix "live wp, and a while back I remember seeing a tech article about a live wp that is a mini 3d globe and was really cool. (Sorry I don't have a name or a link for that one) for clock Widgets, have you tried usng custom skins on beautiful Widgets? You can change the look dramatically with the skins.

I find I like the Aurora LWP. Also I am using the Asus weather widget. As far as every clock I find other than stock clock widget it they are all sized incorrectly. I wish someone could port the clock from Touch Wiz Ux between that and asus weather widget, that would be a sweet combo!

Thanks for the input thus far!

Personally, I like the retro clock and calendar widgets.

You could use TerraTime which is a 3D globe, live satellite map and clock widget. Love it.
