revampednexus live wallpaper is my favorite one. works beautifully. also circles live wallpaper and substrate live wallpaper. n if you feel like buying one. magic paint(i think) is amazing
I actually really like magic smoke. I downloaded a fire one from the market. Don't remember exactly what it was called but I'll check when I get back to work tomorrow since I can't bring my phone home with me yet.
I use shake them all, just check it out on youtube u'll love it
hehe, shake them all looks awesome. Pumped about live wallpapers
To be honest I really like the simple Sense UI live wallpaper. Looks pretty subtle yet nice. Other than that Maps or Pong he he
i've got the 'Maryjane Free', and it's pretty tight. got ganja leaves blowing in the wind.
Where you guys getting these live papers from?
Pixel zombies!!!!! look for it in the market.

the free version of that one actually keeps force closing on mine..it worked at first but i change a setting and that happened..
I cant find anything magic paint or magic smoke either.
Magic Smoke came installed on the phone. Don't know about Magic Paint...
I think I like earth rot the best so far
Seeds of Life makes me laugh every time I use my phone.
Pixel Zombies and Jelyfish Tank are my personal favorites. Both are $0.99 in the market, which really isn't too bad.
danknee... i want your dancing droid as a live wallpaper!
is there someone out there that can make this happen???
I really like the galaxy one that comes with the phone. give me a nice OOO-OOO! when i use my phone.
i wanna use the led scroll one but want to think of somethign good to put in.
how about honda ftw? lmao
I think "Starfield" is the coolest, you can get lost in it lol.
3rd for Pixel Zombies
I'm using the cybertron map pack for earth rot live wallpaper

Damn, this thing makes other keyboards look like a printing press! Looks like Google just acquired them so maybe we'll be seeing it on an Android soon? BlindType keyboard!

yeah, looks great for people with big fingers (or all thumbs) lol. XDA is like a Raiders of the Lost Ark flick, someone in here will discover a source for this treasure and bring it to the masses.
That looks freakin' awesome... I'm assuming there's not apk for it yet, right? (Just high hopes.. :-D)
Hopefully we'll see it in future editions of the OS, since google bought it.
Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!! How much and when!?!?!?
Blindtype was recently acquired by google fwiw.
Yeah I saw this a while back. Stock keyboard is pretty good with predicitng for me already, but this looks cool
I don't really like these things because when you type something that isn't in the dictionary it's ridiculously annoying.
http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=blindtype++apk&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
This looks SICK! I have to have this for sure...do we have any idea on an ETA?
Google bought them out on 10/1... so the good new is theres bound to be an android option.
Bad news is that they will likely be a litle slow getting it out now that the company has the red tape of the google purchase they need to weed through before they can ge back to R&D.
I mainly like ics but it is too dark and not hapy like gingerbread. gbread is bright and happy looking if we could change that ics would be a whole lot better

Is Dark, but beautiful, it's simple, and follow a line. in GB, everything was coloful, but weird. I liked a lot more ICS than GB.
ics is nice but wouldent you like a little more color in it
Nope. Even my wallpapers black n' blue
What actually annoys me is how some of the stock icons/apps are brightly coloured (people, messages, etc).
I kind of agree I've played with ICS and like the feel of GB better, maybe it's because I am so used to GB and have not gotten used to ICS. But its darker and more mysterious I do kind of like that. But bright and happy wallpapers don't really fit the dark ominous blue theme of ICS
I just don't like the shade of blue they used, it seems overused.

Personally I think ICS looks terrible. Its ripped off from old 80's sci-movie computer panels. I mean, I love Tron, its brilliant, but doesnt work so well on a device when you have seen something like MiUI bring out the best in Android. Now that looks stylish and professional. Where ICS looks like its supposed to appeal to geeks and teens only. I am a certified geek, but I just cant get to liking the looks of ICS

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm glad i'm not the only one that feels this way. Sometimes with Android it's like you get a peek behind the curtain, and what you see is a Smartphone OS that's made by tweens, for tweens.
Yes, the Googlers are some of the most able people in the tech world, but sometimes it feels like they lack maturity. Certain aspects of their work needs more thought, more polish. Everything is 95% there and then left incomplete, as if in a fit of ADHD they moved on to the next project and forgot all about the previous one.
I think it's the usual paradigm. Coders do not make good Designers. What i'd like to see is a universal Theme Engine included in the OS itself. Much like the T-Mobile one included in CM7, but created by Google. Every device, whether Vanilla Android, or OEM Skinned, should come with a selection of Themes that work with that common engine. Sense/Touchwiz/Vanilla would all just be Themes for users to choose between.
Of course, Google half-arsed it again and didn't even consider Theme support when creating Android. Even Windows Mobile had Theme support going way back. It even had a Selection Pane for choosing between them. Why is technology going backwards in this regard?
Beauty of Android, don't like the look, change it

I actually LOVE the new look. Its simple,elegant,consistent and much more polished. IMO the whole Android experience/"feel" had been revamped to the better , lets hope OEMs dont mess this up with their skins.
Plus is uses less battery on the Amoled displays, because of all the black!
I like it a lot, but I must say that my phone looks the rather the same as before, and Samsung allready used a lot of black for their own TW skin (think because of the Amoled display)
It's worth noting that the Galaxy nexus is the only device that will see the Holo theme. All the others will be skinned in the normal manufacturer colour schemes.
And i never thought i'd see the day when i would say that's a good thing!

Although Android did publish a design website to help developers/designers follow the new Holo theme that ICS brought along. They are also encouriging OEMs to follow these guidlines when designing all those skins, so that Android would mantain a certain touch and feel throughout different devices!
Personally Id love to see that happen. Diversity is a great thing, but I do think certain UI elements need to look the same across all devices. But then again , Android is open source and OEMs can choose not to follow anything and come up with a whole new UI .
I love the new look, i like dark styles anyway, and i think it looks really smart and like some have already said, change it if you dont like it
i like ics because it gives a lot of a abstract feel and the dark tone feels like it save more battery. however a lot of ics theme is blue, i read somewhere that from RED-GREEN-BLUE, the colour tone BLUE uses more battery compare to the rest.

The holo theme is to be used inside of apps to create the consistent feel. It has nothing to with sense, touchwiz etc. When you press a menu button inside of an app, google wants a consistent response with no crazy surprises. When you open an app, it looks the same on all devices no matter what the manufacturer UI is....

Just because they want it, doesn't mean anybody will comply! If you were creating an app would you use your design ideas, or theirs?
i really need to learn how to code and make things for android lol
Gingerbread was dark and dull and boring, ICS is dark, but sexy and clean. Froyo was bright and happy but Froyo is almost obsolete now.
Android in the pre-ICS era was inconsistent and all over the place, design-wise. It was about time it looked like a "whole" OS and not something 100 different people quickly put together.

Hi! just wondering... do you like how Sony changes the look of android?
It doesn't look bad but why do some manufactures need to change the icons, apps' layout (especially the sms) and everything what Google intended to be. I know that it needs to be somehow distinct or unique but I really love how the 'default' android looks like. You may say buy another phone but Xperia's 'external' design fits me & my wallet or flash another rom but some roms are just modified stock roms. They could have just added the features & apps and followed the UI just like CyanogenMod. The only thing i love about the Xperia's stock rom is the Walkman app and the illumination bar and I haven't switched to CM10 yet because the video playback/recording doesn't work. Sorry if you think that my comment is stupid but do you like how Sony changes the look of android's GUI?
Definitely prefer sony UI! It's nice,great,simple... When I'm on CM10 i always flash xperia z style systemUI,status bar,install walkman,xperia lockscreen...:laugh:
Me, too. Timescape ui FTW! It's the most beautiful and most "operational" one on android smartphones. Also, it's way better than stock google's one.
Sony ui any day, with all things colorized according to theme.

i like that feature though i hope we could choose on a wider range of color just like what windows 8 has on its start screen or on its desktop. i mean would it be great if the color theme adapts to your wallpaper or the album cover of what you're playing so that your phone could adjust to your mood. i think i'm just being silly here :cyclops: but that would be so great...

I do see that coming in the future actually.
But as for now,if your wallpaper has a green base,choose green theme and change wallpaper?
Hi,
Stock, pure, Vanilla Android will always be my preference. That's also why I love CyanogenMod! It's just... So pure and clean! My Nexus 7 with KitKat gives me the desire to taste CM11 on my E!
Ofcourse, Sony's skin is the best skin on the market! Together with Oppo, I like them the most. Compared with the stuff Samsung drops on their phone, unbelievable. Allthough I do like the new Windows 8-like skin they put on KitKat. But TouchWiz is just completely messed up! LG isn't much better. The childish icons make me want to hit the screen...
No, how Google intended it to be will always rock for me. I don't even have to install a ROM on my Nexus. It's fine as it is(rooted and TWRP installed, but still...).
That's my opinion . If Samsung would stop to hire toddlers for their UI team, that would be sweeeeeet...
Have a nice day!

:laugh: :laugh: LOL!!! i can't stop laughing when you said that and i totally i agree with you but if samsung wants their device to be more child-friendly or toddler-friendly, they're probably making a good job...
Android bells, Android bells, Google all the way... CM11 is coming to town, riding on the E!
Excuse my terrible parody of Jingle Bells. Continuing...
I love Google's stock UI, and TouchWiz comes close. Sony's UI, at least in my E or my friend's J, looks unfinished. The design just isn't consistent, and that's a big ouch. Samsung, however, looks solid. Not necessarily refined, but it's cool either way.

Its not that I hate TouchWiz. It's just different from the way Google intended it to be! When I bought my SII, I used TouchWix for two months. Then I got fed up and installed Paranoid Android.
It changed my life... No more glossy, shiny icons and messy menus. Pure Android!
I absolutely agree with you when you say that Samsung is consistent. They managed to screw up all of Android . Not just one element...
But everyone can have their opinion. I can(and will) respect that!
Little off topic: I'm currently having €250. I have a nice little job and this number will increase. Should I buy a mid to high range phone(for example: Nexus 5) or a high end phone(for example: Xperia Z1)?
What would you do?

I'd get the Nexus, but that's just because I like updates and AOSP-like stock ROMs. I'd say if you need the camera, get the Z1, else get the Nexus.
Google Pixel 6 leak shows off distinctive new design

It looks promising, I got bored of all identical looking other devices. This camera bar reminds me of the Nexus 6P a bit. And the Android 12 design overall looks also very promising! Just the fact that it look different of the others is enough to my hype. Seriously, the more years passes, the less OEMs try to impress us, and just leave us with one damn identical form factor, pretty similar feature, etc...
I hope google is going to make this phone different.

Their a lot of changes in android 12 I hope apps and games will still work on Android 12 asking because a tons of apps and games no longer work since android 11 because of what they did to android/data folder was the target of the apps so since we can no longer get access to android data since android 11 a tons of apps like dolphin emulator no longer work and in terraria we can no longer install maps and characters since that's located in android data too so hopefully android 12 doesn't make even more apps and games into no longer working

Agreed. I haven't been excited about a new device since the Nexus 6 probably. @Raiz and @Austinredstoner Android 12 is also a much-needed overhaul. The last few versions have been underwhelming.

I did and I think for the first time since the Nexus 6, I'll be buying it outright instead of making payments just so I CAN root it. Been too long since I've been active in the dev community and this looks like a great phone to come back with
