Subscribing. I wanted also to change the black bg..
I wanted that too. But i also encountered something strange about it. I recently installed a beautiful live wallpaper ported over from Sense. As it's not uncommon, the framerate of the homescreen in general, lowered. But what was the strange thing about it: the framerate of the app drawer (which has a completely black, still background) has also been decreased, which normally shouldn't happen, as the homescreen background vanishes when the app drawer is open (so normally the phone hasn't to calculate anything except for scrolling and opening/closing animation.)

Live wallpaper use processor to update it self, so you can expirience performance drop
@OP - That is not possible
I want it to...
Maybe it will be, when 1.0 comes out

Is anyone else facing a problem with the star field live wallpaper where you are searching through the Google widget and the keyboard disappears and the background is suddenly the default?
I wasn't able to recreate this.

Sounds like you're using a task manager and it is ending apps. Some of the live wallpapers run a separate process that needs to be excluded from autoending. If the live wallpaper process ends, it reverts you wallpaper to the default Nexus wallpaper as you noticed.
I've had to do this with Advanced Task Manager.
I've had this issue come up before. Also, I think the Starfield wallpaper was killing my battery (maybe just paranoid about the app).
I loved the app, especially after its most recent update, but I've since reverted to a "dead" wallpaper since I feel like the Live's do take up too much RAM/Battery life for what they're worth.
Although seeing people's faces when we would turn up the warp drive on starfield is fun
No task manager, but it does seem like the process is ending is there a way to lock it in memory?
Do you run a lot of Widgets? They can definitely cause other apps to close.b
Hi. I recently tried to find out from the LauncherPro forum if there is a way to rectify a lag problem when using Live wallpaper and the app drawer but apparently there is just no way? I'm having trouble believing and thought I'd post it here.
Basically, if using a live wallpaper, the app drawer is REALLY choppy/laggy and skips frames. I was thinking perhaps if there is a way to "pause" the LWP or something like that when pulling the app drawer.
This is the original topic from the LauncherPro forum:
http://launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1890
The very reason I stopped using LiveWallpapers.
All fine and dandy showing off when iPhone users are around, but disabling LWP brings my TAB back to silky smooth operation.
Does this bug happen to anyone else? It has happened twice since I installed Gingerbread.
not me! never seen anything like that. Reflashed? full wipe? try different rom?
I couldn't replicate it
Also can't replicate it.
That has happened to me once. I just had to open an app then press the home button and everything worked fine again. Not sure how to replicate the glitch though.

You can't replicate it, it's random. I just touched the screen to show that touchscreen is calibrated correctly.
I haven't seen that on my N1, but this also isn't the first time I have heard of this problem.
My theory is it is some app people have installed causing the flickering...
What if you factory reset the device? Does it still do it then?
Some people were reporting graphic glitches in the launcher after running Angry Bird Seasons. I haven't used that one yet, just regular Angry Birds.
Never tried on the stock launcher but the same thing happened to me 80% of the time with LauncherPro when i used 3D drawer (the same effect as on stock launcher)
Since i disabled it (3D drawer effect) everything work fine.
ive had this issue, it seems to be only with the stock OTA, im not sure how it happened but i can attest to this being a bug that happens to a n1 with full wipe and nothing on it.

same for me
Yes.
I used to disable all the animation for my N1.
after upgrade to 2.3.3, it happened twice.
I thought it is the issue of the animation, maybe.
So, I enable all the animation.
After that, I never see this problem.
I've never had this issue. Only thing close is when I go from the 3d app drawer to the home screen my analog clock widget kinda flickers a little, that's the only flickering I've seen on 2.3.3.
Note: this is also random, can't replicate it most of the time.
Yup this happened to me once. And it was after I closed one of the angry birds game. I think it's because closing apps no longer bring you back to the homescreen but to the app drawer. Android probably had some problem re-rendering the app drawer.
I had to go into settings menu and exit for the flickering to go away. I've gone back to CM7 because it's actually more stable than stock gingerbread after what I've seen so far.

Nope. I just opened the app drawer, launches AB Seasons, played a game, exited it, exits back to App drawer, everything is still working fine, no flickering...
Yes I get the same thing after launching angry birds seasons from the app drawer only and not if I launch from the home screen
Same for me 2. After reboot its ok.

I have a slightly different problem with the 3D app drawer in LPP. I can flick and it scrolls down, but when I grad to flick again, it jumps back up to the top. I can only get part way down the drawer, and I can't open an app. Non-3D works fine.
I have something similar. But not the same. When I close out of any app I just have my background only. Nothing else. After a minute UI shows back up. When I go into settings, I get a black screen until I I swipe my phone up and down.

I've had the Launcher icons not appearing straight away numerous times.
Ok my favorite launcher is go launcher just because of how customizable it is! I find myself using the regular launcher and Zeam alot because they are quick, they would be perfect if you could hide apps in the app drawer. As far as just having something minimal.
I like Go Launcher becuase it has alot of free themes and you can mix and match all there icons and what not. What annoys me is on the Homescreen when you flip the phone the icons wont show back up half the time until you tap the screen. I mean ive tried every video tweak compiled optimized kernels and the only thing that has fixed this problem is the ICS flip animation in bobzhome's new rom. Im thinking becuase the animation refreshes the screen after the flip, but as soon as i turn animations off in display the icons disapear as soon as i flip the screen. I mean im running at 840mhz with 350mb ram free and this happens!!! Does anyone else have this problem or know a fix?
Edit: nvm
Not quite sure what I'm missing, but I can't get my wallpaper to scale correctly. It is consistently zoomed in such that what should be a really crisp, beautiful wallpaper (such as to those bundled with CM 10.1), is instead fuzzy around the edges. I've tried messing with both my launcher (Apex) settings and my developer settings, but to no avail. Any help? What more information should I provide?

Use something like quickpic or wallpaper wizardii or my preferred simple image wallpaper not sure why this always happens but don't fret just use an app and itll scale down properly

I have the same experience, QuickPic provides sharper wallpapers than standard Gallery. Use it to set your wallpaper (otherwise I think the default gallery is better for viewing photos (smoother))
Simple Image Wallpaper Free from the play store works great and very easy to use. if you decide to use it, you wont find with the other apps. long press the screen, hit live wallpaper, and there it is. after that its easy

Im using it but I dont like that you cant choose that the wallpaper doesnt move. When I set the wallpaper, it scales good, but on the homescreen only, on the other screens I have to choose a colour to be shown because the image doesn't cover all the homescreens. Hope you understood me, sorry for my english.
i also found simple image wallpaper free to provide the best visual quality. i especially enjoy its ability to define completely different images for landscape and portrait orientations. that is a stylish effect, and it is very unexpected (compared to usual themes).
somehow, wallpaper wizardrii and other apps which use an image instead of a live wallpaper provoke my n10 to occasionally reset the background to that ugly green leaf... i don't know if anyone has already fixed this since the last time i checked.
Multipicture live wallpaper let's you set any amount of pictures to rotate as the background or you can set a single picture... Works great with no crazy android zooming

Make sure your wallpaper is sized properly for the launcher you are using. If you are using the stock launcher, the wallpaper should be 3966x2560. This will fit your wallpaper perfectly in the 5 home screens...with the center of the image being in the main home screen.
I tried Simple Image wallpaper but could not stand the fact that it always runs and uses 13 MB of RAM. Great program just hate that it needs to run all the time.

Hmmm. I killed the process and the wallpaper disappeared so I assumed it needed to run as long as I wanted the wallpaper to fit perfectly. I will try that thanks for the tip. Weird that leaving it installed but killing it didn't work.....

Ah my mistake. It still does reset. Must have been one of the other wallpaper apps I tried that I was able to do that with

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder, it's just setting the wallpaper (you can uninstall it) but it does it properly. Maybe even with some sharpening, I don't know. The result is simply good.
Search ”image 2 wallpaper” on the play store. Works perfectly for me.
