Does anyone know why this particular live wallpaper makes the phone more sluggish than others? It's my favorite one but if you notice.. the performance of the phone gets a bit more sluggish. Kind of noticeable. Is there a way to fix this? Or is Google going to have to fix this in a future update?

Could I ask what you are running in the background because the microbes live wallpaper is the best one for performance.

Really? Even when I kill all tasks it still runs the same. I'm not saying it's major lag going on that it's unbearable. But you can see when something like a window pops up or the app drawer comes up it doesn't look at smooth as it should be. When I use the Nexus S Live Wallpaper it runs a lot smoother for me.
Yeah the microbes wallpaper also does this on my nexus s. The app drawer doesn't scroll as smooth.
I've noticed this also.

My nexus doesn't have a problem. All the live wallpapers run at 18mb for every wallpaper including the microbs and nexus.
Does anyone know how to manually reinstall Microbes?
The custom ROM I'm using (OpenSoju) doesn't include Microbes, and I'm not entirely sure how to reinstall it back.
I tried flashing a 230kb Microbes.zip via Clockwork, but didn't work particularly well
Using the Library computer I noticed this very cool desktop widget. All that's missing is the live, realtime, animations to make it truly what I want. Anything close to this available for my Nexus?
You should check beautiful widget. They offer a skin uploading service so there's plenty of choices.

Hi,
Anyone came across apps to automatically change wallpaper when the phone is being charged/usb?
I tried tasker, but it doesn't support 'live' wallpaper, it only do standard wallpaper.
Purpose: I like to keep my screen on while charging, but I don't want to get screen burn so live wallpaper would be ideal; also it looks nice having live wallpaper while the phone is docked, it'll make the apple fanboys around my desk jealous .
PS: tried google with no luck; so if you can point me to an apps/hack let me know.
cheers
Me interested too.

Any reason why ALL live wallpapers perform much better on my girlfriends Mytouch 4G? Both phones using Launcher Pro Plus and same live wallpapers. On the MT4G, Launcher Pro is much smoother.

Same here
The only thing I can think of is that they are not optimized for tegra dual core processors

Like I said, it's all live wallpapers. I'm not getting any lag, everything is still snappy, just switching/scrolling through screens is choppy with live wallpapers. One the reasons I use Launcher Pro is for the super smooth scrolling.

sorry couldn't resist
I use zeam launcher. Thats smooth with live wallpaper..
I just tried out Zeam. You're right, live wallpapers does not slow it down. Too bad scrolling isn't as smooth to begin with though. This tells me that Launcher Pro just performs better on the MT4G.

ADW Launcher EX is good here.
It is not happening any more after switching to adw. It was happening on the stock launcher.

I run any of the live wallpapers and use the stock launcher that came with Froyo on the G2x and I have no problems with the live wallpapers. But when I was using Launcher Pro, it was kinda laggy. I think that Launcher Pro is just not for the G2x.
I run a few of the live wallpapers from maxelus.net ... **** is unbelievable causes no noticeable battery drain and runs smooth. And its pretty sick. Some wallpapers are BS and can make your phone run slow access personal info etc. You need to pretend this phone is a PC and all the no-no' s apply... including dl'g aps and or wallpapers

Any of you guys run the beach or windmill live wallpaper ported over from the Samsung galaxy s 2? I've noticed that my g2x lags quite a bit unless I O'CLOCK the CPU for better performance with either of those LWP on...... also if you could let me know if your battery takes a hit when you let the LWP turn on GPS to get current weather info?

Butter smooth with ADW EX...could be your launcher? ADW EX is hardware accelerated now (since May update) Launcher Pro is not.
Just tried Vortex Galaxy...It's sick! Oh, no lag with ADW EX.
Yes it is Launcher Pro + G2x that doesn't like live wallpapers. I just tried ADWEX and it was nice and smooth. I got a refund after 14 minutes, too bad we can't try it out out longer before we decide if we want to keep it or not.

so i guess there isnt fix to it..no??
Im have the captain America one and its fine i get to hit the shield and it all works fine. no lag for me
I have no problems with any of the live wallpapers I've installed (shadow galaxy, beautiful widget weather, nexus honeycomb, I-O hyperspace, Matrix, Asus Water, swirling Galaxy, thunderstorm and a few others as well as the stock). Tey all run very smooth. But I do notice some occasional lag when swiping between screens or with window/app launching animations- i.e some stuttering as an app window maximizes up, when there is a live wallpaper running. I feel like this is more pronounced after the most recent OTA update so I'm wondering if some of the new scrollable widgets are putting strain on the system too.
One thing you can check is whether the particular wallpaper you'e using has a setting to turn up or down the cpu usage. Might help.
