Hi there,
I'm looking for a default Live Wallpaper which existed on older android phones (such as the Samsung Galaxy S1, I believe) to use on my HTC One (M7).
Its title/description was: "Galaxy: A galaxy made of slowly swirling stars"
The Wallpaper consisted of a little white dots (symbolizing stars, obviously) revolving around a 'black hole' on a black background. When you switched homescreens, the camera perspective of the galaxy would shift slightly with each transition (the main attractive feature of this particular galaxy wallpaper for me).
I've found no videos of it activated, closest was one where it was simply listed in the options. I can't share the link since I'm a new user, but the title is "Samsung Galaxy S live wallpapers on Nexus One".
After searching various forums, the closest I came was one Wallpaper which is very close to the original, but it has no transition animations and is a bit too far zoomed out. It apparently came from a custom ROM. Again, can't share the link, but it was on androidforums and was downloadable as "galaxy4.apk"
Does anyone have any idea as to where I can find this old default wallpaper online?
Otherwise, would I be able to request someone to extract from their device, if it has it of course, and compile it so that I and anyone else with the same request can use it on their devices?
Thank you!

I love this live wallpaper BUT it has an obvious problem: the custom background size is limited to 480x800 instead of 960x800!
Anyone managed to play it with full 960x800?
Are you referring to the "Falling Snow" live wallpaper by NewCaboose?
If so, I am the developer for that application.
I was not aware of this problem with the wallpaper, can you tell me what device you are using?

Have a look at the sub-forum we are in, and take a guess
Ah, I see. My apologies, I found this through a Google search.
So then the 960x800 is beyond the bounds of the resolution of the Nexus One. I assume that is the "standard" size for a wallpaper that would scroll when changing home screens.
I can add this feature into the wallpaper, but not any time soon. I just moved into a new house and I don't have a desk for my computer.
If anybody else would like to add this feature, I have no problem releasing the source code, as long as it is returned back to me to release on the market. I don't want multiple versions of my wallpaper cluttering up the market.
It will be great with 960x800 and a Christmas wallpaper included for later purpose
Is their such an app that allows for a single, wide, wallpaper that scrolls with tabs? I came across HDWall but i am skeptical about using it, plus all i want is what i described above and nothing more.
such features are called panoramic wallpaper, one of android's eye candy IMHO
as far as i know, the only app that able to bring you that panoramic thingy is the HDWall, and judging by the huge number of users, it should be good and safe enough to use.
..or try searching for MaxManila around the forum, it also has the ability to enable panoramic wallpaper, but it'll also put in a lot of other features you might not really need.
otherwise, buy an android phone instead
Moved as not software release.
Hi all, I tried posting this in the Android and/or Xoom forum, but alas, as a new member, I cannot. Here’s my question, hopefully someone can help. I’m about to purchase a Xoom, and simply stated, the Xoom has 5 ‘desktops’ that you can ‘pan across.’
I’ve seen a few videos of the Xoom on YouTube, where the ‘wallpaper’ shifts slightly when you pan right or left to another ‘desktop.’
I plan on using this device for a unique purpose, and when I pan right or left, I want the entire background to change.
For the sake of this post, let’s assume I want each desktop wallpaper to be a different color…red, blue, green, yellow, and orange. Further, when I pan, I don’t want to see anything but THAT one color.
So again, the distinction here is…
1) A slight shift in the ‘wallpaper’
Versus
2) a whole new image (color or otherwise) on each of the 5 ‘desktops.’
I'm looking for number 2. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Their is a app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and it allows yopu to select different images for each screen. A little late.
seem nice the MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. can it be used on phone other than xoom?

I've got the wallpaper to create Honeycomb 1569 / 1126, they are the five offices
Ok, so I picked an Atrix 2 when I jumped ship from Sprint, and I have a question about making custom wallpapers for this device. If I remember correctly, having a qHD screen means the wallpaper size is 1080x960, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like to create a custom static wallpaper out of smaller images so that when I change screens between the five available each picture is different. I can't seem to find the right resolution balance to make it happen, so I thought I'd see if anyone can point me in the right direction. I was under the assumption that if I used 216x960 pictures that it would work, but I'm having issues. Thanks in advance.
The resolution on the atrix2 is 540x960.
I'm aware of that, but if you pull a default wallpaper, you'll find it's 1080x960. I think I may have found the answer though. Apparently Android doesn't allow for separate wallpapers on each home screen using the default launcher. Only way I can find is using an app on the market. Kind of a clunky way to do it, but it's working so far.
So, after searching the Apps section and trying a few Apps suggested by some others, I am at a loss for why this doesn't exist. I know Lock screens are pretty well dead due to the advent of biometric logins but Live Wallpapers still seem to thrive. I know all the bad that comes with them, battery life and whatnot. But every Live Wallpaper I have seen, is little more than either a looped video or an animation that plays in a loop (maybe the rare one is interactive but I digress). Perhaps it is because widgets exist, but those too come with their own set of limitations I am sure, since I am not a developer I would not know.
If anyone remembers the HTC Sense 5 Weather Live Wallpaper, it was on the lockscreen but that is unimportant. It was a great weather live wallpaper, had excellant animations including lightning rain drops on the screen, snow, moon cycle, etc..
I am looking for a fullscreen widget that will do this, or perhaps a halfscreen? The point is, a widget that does weather animations based on the current weather conditions and perhaps a few hours out and then when you press on the widget, it would open whatever default weather app you had or at the least, whatever app it was using for its information.
Since I am pretty sure this app doesn't exist, it either means this is a new idea (VERY unlikely) or that there is a limitation somewhere (perhaps only on Samsung devices?) that is preventing it from working the way I am hoping. Its been many years since I was here and it makes me wonder if this idea has already been hashed out and found to be dead or if the idea just went away.
If anyone can let me know, I would appreciate it. If I am missing something, perhaps an app that looks a bit shady (low number of reviews and downloads) but is exactly what I am looking for, please give me the name. I've been all over the Play Store and the Galaxy Store and it kind of makes me wonder why this doesn't exist or if I am just blind.
FYI, my current device is the Fold 3, so if HTC has something that is what I am looking for but won't work on my device, it will suck but the question is still valid.
Thanks!
