I've uploaded a free experimental animated weather live wallpaper to the Android market. To find it search for "Weather-Lite". Animations for sunrise, sunset, clouds, snow, rain, lightening, fog, etc with moon phases.
Currently it's configured to only work for Nexus one screen resolutions and compiled using the 2.2 (Froyo) SDK.
It uses the google weather API and has two modes, automatic and manual. In automatic the weather for the phone location will be displayed (if the location is recognized as a known location in the google database). In manual mode you can select a different location and enter a timezone offset for approximate sunrise/sunset times.
Not finding it in the market...
cant find is it only for 2.2

so most likely will only be visible to froyo users.
Appears for me in Froyo under title "Weather-Lite Live Wallpaper" by cocos software. Seems to work.
I've seen it by searching for "weather lite". Looks nice but it kind of lags on my launcher.
Although that's an issue with Launcher Pro as other LWP are laggy on this launcher. =)
I like the premise, i did notice the clouds were a little rigid, it would look better if the sun/moon and clouds were more bold and solid looking, aside from that i think it's great!

Weather ACE (Accurate, Customizable, Easy-to-use)Customizable weather forecasts based on forecast statistics
Uploaded with ImageShack.usHe all! We have lot of weather applications available for android, but most of them - use only one weather source and have very limited customization options.
Who it's bad to rely on the only one weather source for information? - be course you don't see alternatives. Weather forecasts usually made by using of weather forecasts models. Different weather forecast sources (Weather Underground, Accuweather, National Weather Service and etc) use different forecasts models that produce sometimes completely different forecasts. The main idea of the application - provides best (by forecast statistics) available data in easy-to-use way and allows to customize application look.
Application features:
- Accurate weather forecasting by using generated forecast statistics (it's compare current weather with that was predicted)
- Contains multiple views for weather information, daily, hourly and extended weather information. Possibility to compare weather information from different weather data sources in a view.
- Home screen widgets. Common widget and stack widget (stack widget required android 3.0+).
- Supports millions of locations.
- Lot of options for customization (most of colors, fonts, icon themes, units of measure etc). All three feels-like types of temperatures supported.
- Lot of usefull and precize informations about weather, sun and moon. I used best available algoritms for all the information.
- Phone and tablet optimized (Android 2.1+ required).
- Weather ACE contains internal help, I working on homepage now.
- developed in the way to use less battery as possible.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
It's mostly just a start. My current planing:
- weather graphs.
- support for plugins (weather icons, pictures, fonts, may be more). Possible even custom views (the application already have part of code for it).
- 3+ more new views.
- weather maps with offline support.
The application contains ads, but I see lot of special applications here that can help you with ads, so it's you decision - will you see the ads or not. :fingers-crossed: You can also just buy a version without of ads and helps me improve the application more.
Application link on Google play market
Application seems stable for me. I have no crashes at all.
Feel free to share your ideas about the application and new features that you need here or via mail.
The application now #14 in "Top New Free" on Google Play for category "Weather" (was #15 several hours ago, so it grows). I see no ANRs/crashes in my google play developer console, so seems completely stable. Have lot of new installs today.
Please check, I hope it will suit your needs too. I would be grateful for any feedback (here or via mail) for to make the application better.

In it's latest vrrsion it is outstanding. My very favorite weather app. Using its plug-in for Tasker is icing on the cake
I love this app, will there be more updates or no more support for this great app? I really like thats its so customizeable and i can change design to match my homescreen, even colors and weather icons. I find that radar and maps are missing areas sometimes, sometimes theres a lot of gray rectangles without any data. I want to display hourly weather from app with Tasker plugin in KWGT, how to do it and it is possible? How to create apk with weather icons?
Ya....this is the best Weather App out there. Love it. Nothing else like it around.
I've read everywhere that this weather app is supposed one of the best ones but it seems that many people (myself included) are experiencing a problem that prevents it to start (at least on Nougat). The app immediately crashes miserably as soon as is started.
The play store review section is now full of reviews where people is complaining because of that.
Do you guys know if the developer is aware of it, or did it abandon the development?
What it does?

Drywall is a wallpaper manager I built from scratch that was inspired by Google Wallpapers and Jahir fiquitiva Frames android library. I needed a wallpaper provider for my launcher as a default but i figured why make it exclusive? I tried making it as original as possible and built to stand its own over time.
Drywall has a few tricks up its sleeve as a Wallpaper Manager
-I have several categories to choose from as well as an exclusive Pixel Photography category that features photos taken directly from Pixels.
-The weekly featured category has over 400 different photos regularly updated and loaded from our good folks from Reddit.
-Each category preview tile is updated via the last image you previewed so the dashboard can give you alittle hint of where that last cool photo was you were looking at.
-You can select a photo from your gallery as a wallpaper.
-Drywall will list all the available wallpaper provider apps in your system (disregarding defaults like Google wallpapers)
-Users can search for hinted titles in each category
-Drywall will list live wallpapers available (Not available in Android 11)
-All images are rendered and managed Glide
-All images use a smart crop view powered by an new addon for Glide called Glimpse
-Images in the preview window allow users to inspect information about the selected image like color pallette, dimensions, author, sources sharing and downloading.
-Drywall allows users to Blur, reset and align their current wallpaper.
-Content is updated over the air
Enjoy!
Get it on Google Play
