Hello, just for share this awesome live wallpaper from Pixel phone. Earth in real time including day / night cicle and weather.
See this post :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...live-earth-wallpapers-pixel-backport-t3481221
Download ARM64 version for your S8.
If you can't set up this wallpaper download Nova launcher or other. Set your wallpaper and uninstall Nova.
Thanks for sharing
Is it draining battery?
I don't think it's pretty static.
Well, it consumes a little bit of battery of course, not because of movement but because of GPS and data access, in order to give you the "sky vision" of the earth portion where you live (including clouds and night/day cycle).
But, anyway, it's cool...and the "aurora" wallpaper it's cool too (from pixel too).
The one that I liked was HORIZON, but it's the only one that won't work on me...
You're not alone I've the same problem with horizon wallpaper

Yes, this is right.
That's why this wall won't work, as the Sony Xperia loops live wallpaper...same story.
Downloaded, props OP. I get bored of static wallpaper's easily so I'm loving this.
Is this working with 8+
Yes it's working on S8+
Thx... Need Nova 1st but looking damn good...
How did you theme the pixel launcher
Not working for me.
Saying app not installed if I click live wallpapers in Nova.
battery
is that drain your battery?
Not really. Maybe just 1-2% per hour more, but it's okay I think.

Confirmed:
Maps
Digital Rain
Zoomfield
Fireworks
Starfield
Logcat Live!
Lines- (Market)
Google Maps- (Comes with newest version of Google Maps)
Seeds of Life- (Market Paid) stopped this morning after a lockscreen, but has been golden the rest of the day and all night yesterday.
good idea!
3d tunnel works ok. It runs with helix launcher but close out eventually.
Bezier works great. No problems at all and looks nice.
Nexus mod obviously doesn't work.
Red eye scanner doesn't work that well
The matrix works pretty well

Isn't it great! I just wish I could change the font color from green to a cyan to match my theme a little better.

i understand this, i should have clarified (my apologies)
does using lwps use a considerable amount of battery...enough to possibly not even make it worth it?

Negative. My battery life today has been the same (as far as I can tell) with moderate use. It certainly hasn't been losing battery % at a rapid rate. No harm in trying it yourself.
First day I have been using LWP, for what its worth.

Nexus mod has been working perfectly fine for me since like before noon for me...without a hitch, or hiccup. The earth FC on me, and back to NexusMod it was. A few are having issues with it and some have had no trouble at all Odd....yes.
Is any one having this issue? When I set the live wallpaper, it shows up nice. If I put the phone to sleep and wake it back up, the phone reverts back to my original static wallpaper. Any thoughts?
Mystify and Pong LWP seem to work fine for me. No FC's and I've used both for about an 8 hour period each.

I had the same problem. Found that when I dl a wallpaper from the market it stuck. Every wall that came with the rom reverted back.

Is it still there after your phone sleeps for awhile?
Nexusmod works great for me when I first put it on, but after my phone sleeps and I wake it back up, I'm right back to my old "regular" wallpaper....
I found the problem, I had downloaded the Digitain rain LWP and that was the problem. I downloaded Nexus Mod and it works great. Man it looks sweet.
I stand corrected, after the phone sat for a minute in sleep, it decided to revert back with this one too. hmm. . .

As a test, try the Maps lwp. So far it's the only one I've been able to get to "stick".
Not asking you to use it permanently or anything, just curious if the same thing happens for you....
It does look like maps LWP is sticking.
Digital Rain, Fireworks, and ZoomField all stick for me and I still have the HTCweatherwallpaper.apk installed they stick and I have my weather effects
Hi Customization freeks! Howdidoo?
It’s quite long we are waiting for MIUI to be ported to our fav SGT. But seem’s like things are pretty slow. So, there is something I come across the market to fill in the GAP.
Yes, It’s again a Chinese Theme based application works pretty well on upto 4.3” screens but do not disappoints the 7 incher either.
I wonder how XDA Developer.com did not focus on this application. Here’s the market link.
https://market.android.com/search?q=sskin+butterfly&so=1&c=apps
The previews of the themes are in Chinese but when you apply the themes, they adopt the system language. Well, I really don’t know for the other languages but yes for the English. At least 15 themes are free and there is no sign anywhere on the net that, someone must have uploaded the paid themes. I guess this application is new and will do wonders gradually.
Apart from this, I would like to suggest few more fancy applications which you guys must be well aware of for those who are not, try them.
Go Keyboard,
Go Contact’s,
Go Weather,
Battery widget viewer,
Circle Launcher.
I hope this will keep you busy until MIUI pops up
So what exactly does it theme? Is it a replacement launcher?

seems like there are people like minds. only difference is i play with it and stay awake, you play with it when you don't get sleep.
i wish someone could've updated the paid theme's they are sexy specially the rain theme.
It's slow, and the customization options that you have is even less than Zeam. You can't even set it to have more rows x columns in the homescreen, nor can you resize widgets.
And it looks Korean since most of its themes are based on Korean artists.

yeah man its cool. i like the flip of the theme. it's pretty fast on my tab i wonder how come its slow on other users as mentioned above. some people do not reboot their tabs as a result they become heavy. a reboot is a must in a day.

I have a GN 10.1 and came from a TF201. In order to keep the "Hubs" format on my TF201, I used ADW Ex, which worked great. That being said, the TF201 was a pretty vanilla experience. Since the GN 10.1 has TW, not sure how much functionality is lost by going to another launcher.
Any recommendations?
Well, on ICS I prefer Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Funny thing though. When either are used on my Note 10.1, the seem to mess up he wallpaper resolution, blowing it up too large. Switch back to the stock launcher and the wallpaper goes back to normal. Switch again back to Nova and it will be normal for a while and then go bad from turning off the screen and back on. No idea why...anyone else?
I use Nova on my tablets since I opted to buy the prime version...

I also bought Nova and switched my phone over to it from Apex. Do yoyu experience this wallpaper thing? It happens to me on the stock wallpapers as well as pictures from gallery
I didn't have this issue on my first Note 10.1 last week, and will let you know about my new one that arrived today.
(I switched from 16gb to 32gb...)
On my GNote I prefer Apex, ATM. One thing making me crazy tho, is that the dock isn't transparent. Can't find a way to do it. I know I can hide it, but if it's hidden you can't specify how many folders/icons you can put on it. TYIA
Found it! Just tired from work, I guess. :-/
Nova launcher, no wallpaper issues to report, so far it's working flawlessly...been using it 2 days.
I personally use Apex Launcher, works great and you can use the Samsung Widgets

Nice one to try is Chameleon it is in beta but looks promising, Apex or Nova are good too.

If you run an alternate launcher do you lose any of the s pen functionality?
Thanks.
I am using... SPB Shell 3D
I forgot I bought this launcher a long time ago because my Galaxy phone got detroyed as i was coming off contract so i grabbed an iphone4s- :silly:
I loaded it up about 4 days ago and i can confirm it works great. No lag, no issues. The price is a little steep but i feel it was worth it. Comes with plenty of widgets and you can use any other widgets. The only issue found so far is you can not use a live wallpaper with it. But no big deal as i dont use them much.
Might not be for everyone because of cost$$ but it sure looks nice on the 10.1 note and is a head turner out in public.
Touchwiz still works with it as well ( a plus for some and neg for others) I have no issue with TW..

Hmm. Maybe there is something wrong in my saved config for nova. Think I will try again without a restore from titanium...otherwise I suppose I will try a wipe to defaults. BTW, for me this happened with the 4.0.4 the Note came with as well as the update from the other day. Odd
So, this wallpaper screen res problem is with any launcher than the stock and is annoying the crap out of me
To confirm, nobody else with the Note 10.1 has their wallpaper resolution reduced by Nova, Apex, whatever launcher...The wallpaper blows up to large, but can be messed with to get it to go to the right size, but doesn't last?
If not this unit is going back for an exchange. Too expensive a toy to be irritated by it
Thanks

Use the Picspeed HD Wallpapers app and use it to set the wallpaper. It solved the zooming of the wallpaper on all launchers.

I am having this zooming issue as well. Gave the Picspeed app a go but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. I'm currently using Nova but Im about to give Apex a shot and see if I have the same troubles there.

No, everything remains intact. The S-pen is independent of the launcher. I've ever seen reports that you can use Samsungs widgets with other launchers, I have not confirmed this though.

I had bought Chameleon through Kickstarter and couldn't wait to install it, but was extremely disappointed with the result. I use ADWEX on my S3 but wanted something more optimized for ICS and tablets. Decided to try Apex and absolutely love it. From being able to have quick buttons for Google Search and Voice Search/Commands in the top right corner of every screen to the customization of the bottom launch bar and the cool look of folders, it's just about perfect. I use one of the basic live wallpapers (northern lights) and it works fine for me with no issues.

for those having wallpaper issues on home launchers can try this:
Free version does the same as paid. Paid version is just to support dev. No features are removed for free version.

As the title says, please show us your homescreens. If you can tell which Launcher, Theme, Icon Pack or Widgets that are there in the screenshots, please do so.
Here's mine:
Launcher, Theme, Icons, Widgets: all stock. I'm the type of user who after setting my personal information on the phone the first thing I download is Nova Launcher, but boy TouchWiz has evolved into something I wouldn't mind rocking as my main launcher. Pretty indeed.
Minimalistic, I know, but that how's I roll.
here is mine..... Theme Store PixelizeD theme with a Google wallpaper
pretty simple
just switched to the Pixel Live wallpaper...otherwise, same theme/look
I also usually install Nova, LINE or Apex Launcher on a device as soon as I get it. I decided to take the stock launcher for a test run this time and I have to say I am pretty happy with it. I also have a case coming that will activate a specific theme when it is on the device (EXO case, only being released in South Korea). This case is an official Samsung case, and is a collaboration between Samsung and SM Entertainment (the company EXO is signed to).
Theme is 'Keep Calm and Love Flowers'. It's really pretty and quite minimal, which I love.

Do you mind is I ask how you changed individual icons (the ones in your dock) while using touchwiz?
Trying to have fun with basic themes till root.
Those glass folders look great tbh just waiting on a better icon pack while being cheap.
Really wish the theme choser had a bit more customization but it's the best phone I've had in that department that isn't rooted, doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, rom or some kind of half assed icon changing app so I can't complain.

The option to theme Touchwiz comes with Android 7.0 I think. I upgraded my s7 edge a month or so ago and all of a sudden I could theme Touchwiz. The s8 came with 7.0 out of the box. The themes are purchased using Samsung Pay from the inbuilt theme store. The theme selection currently is not brilliant, but there are some *really* beautiful themes available and new ones being released all the time.
There are free and paid themes, as well as backgrounds, icons and Always On Display (AODs).
I have to admit that I am really impressed at the moment. I am eagerly awaiting my Exo NFC case that will automatically load the EXO theme when the case is snapped on.
I've added some screen caps to this post so you can see how easy it is to get to the themes.
