Live Wallpapers - How to?

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 04:36:42 GMT

Hi,

When i first got my update, i found out that i can use live wallpapers on my xperia x10 mini pro, and was very excited to get my hands on them. BUT, when i tried to use a live wallpaper, it said, there are no live wallpapers. So, i went online and confusingly 'installed' a few live wallpapers and voila...!! it works..

This is how you install live wallpapers (apparantly, its an app):

1. You must be running android 2.1.

2. You must go to the android market and search for live wallopapers.

3. I got a bunch of paid ones, (which are surprisingly good).

4. Try out the ones that come for free such as:

- Living Music (really cool, takes ur album art and makes a live wallpaper)

- Nexus Revamped

- PongClock Live Wallpaper, etc..

5. It installs as an application, and first time running was quite slow (dont bother it gets better)..

NOW WHAT I LIKE FROM THE USERS OF THIS FORUM IS TO ADD AS MANY FREE LIVE WALLPAPER APP NAMES(as shown in the android market) AS POSSIBLE TO KEEP A NICE N TIDY LIST OF ALL THAT IS AVAILABLE OUT THERE..

(Googling for all of these takes a lot of time for me so i'll leave it upto you guys to fill in)

Lastly, Thanks.. :smileygrin:

A good venture, congrats. Free live wallpapers are rare and most of them are demo versions.

Finally had the 2.1 update on my Mini Pro! The performance is much better than before and the flow is smooth. I am liking my phone a lot better!

I also tried Ascension Live Wallpaper. It was quite cool! But I am not able to find the Water Live wallpaper in the Market which has that ripple when you touch the screen:

Hey Sid,

You can try this website: http://www.livewallpapers.org/ its got a lot of free and paid live wallpapers for android. It installs as a background app and to install:

Option 1:

- Long press on your home screen (Android 2.1) and choose Live wallpapers.

Option 2:

- Press the Left-most (Four Squares) hardware key (on your xperia x10 mini pro) and choose Change wallpaper.

In order to see any live wallpapers, you need to install them on your phone. Try the above mentioned website or search for Live wallpapers on the Android market. I'm sure you'l find many free and paid ones.

ps: You can try this also::smileyhappy: http://www.techcredo.com/android/top-free-android-live-wallpapers

I have just bought Snow Globe via Livewallpapers.org and I absolutely adore it. Best $0,99 that I have spent in a long time! It has lots of different wintery/Christmassy backgrounds with snowflakes that settle and you have to shake the phone (snow globe style) to reactivate them. Loving it!

Just tried "Flames" and "thunderstorm" and found them worth buying (Market).

Best and easiest way is to open the wallpaper on the PC and use the bar code scanner from phone.

So you want to know how to set the "live wallpaper" as your wallpaper?

For that you have to long press the screen on empty space (like above your clock) and you will get and option to set live wallpaper and normal wallpaper.

NotE: If you long press the clock or any widget then you will get option to add/delete widget and not wallpaper...so long press at empty space.

yes, i did the same........ i long pressed the empty space then i got option to select live wallpapers, i clicked and it shows only the "Ocean Waves"(as i downloaded only 1 live wallpaper) and on clicking that it says "LOADING LIVE WALLPAPER" thats it........ until i click the back button the screen appears the same..........

Then possibly this particular wallpaper is not supported.

Try some other wallpaper to confirm.

I am using xperia mini pro and tried below wallpapers which work fine (i have not tried ocean waves, so cannot say about it):

Ascension

Earth (tweaking required to look excellent as wallpaper)
Aquarium
Asteroids
Flames
Thunderstorm
