Note 4 live wallpaper - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for best hd live wallpaper any recommendation folks.....please share what you guys have on your phone thank you.

The coolest new live wallpaper I've found is called Minima. Get the Pro if you want to customize your own. It's based on the new Android L Material theme design. I love it!

Looks really neat. Would look even better if we had a official Lollipop build to play with.

Best I've found well the only one I'll actually use is mountains now its based on the Google now background and it looks really cool. It's also the only one I'll use cause I've found it doesn't rape my performance or battery so much.

This is the best of all - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxelus.galaxypacklivewallpaper

Thanks for the minima suggestion. This is very cool.

I think you'll find that Minima also is very forgiving on the battery consumption. In fact, its consumption is little more than that of a still photo wallpaper! I've seen no noticeable depletion of battery life since I've begun using Minima! Be sure you get the pro version as it's totally worth it!

Magic fluids and magic flames heavy lwps but damn beautiful!!!

Launcher Pro. You can set it with those bottom icons. I used for a little while, but just switch to Baked Snacks with Sense.
Search the market or online for Launcher Pro. It's nice.
It drains too much power.
Even when it's "turned off", it drains about 27% cpu, compared to 12% for my RedEye Scanner.

Not really, no. Haven't heard back from them, yet! But I must say that apart from that, I really do like the app. And that isn't BS
Looks very beautiful Just wish there was a widget with that kind of animations on the home screen.
I see why you posted it here, you want a free version
Thanks, Looks nice.
Yes. I do want. But that wasn't the reason I posted. If so, I'd have done so on my own blog. I actually posted so more people could learn of it. I think it's a pretty nifty piece of SW and a great step in the right direction. Still a bit crude, but has promise. I for one am all about the eye candy.
i download it, thanks love it hehehe.

Is there any themes out there that changes the default icons for Phone, Contacts and Whatsapp? Those are the only 3 icons that are ruining the look for me right now. Using ADW EX.
The answer is yes

Yep sure, just download ADW EX theme packs (I use ADW elegant)
After doing this just simply:
-Long press your icon.
-Click edit.
-Select ADW theme packs and pick ADW elegant *or your choice
-Select your new icon.
-Done.
There's a section of this in my 3D UI tutorial vid.. Hope that helps!

Yea I know it works, I wouldn't listen to the note without it, no way. Make sure the box is ticked for enabling and try playing with the eq while listening to a song
What theme are you using for the one more clock ?
Looks Fantastic, is there a way to make it work in some fashion when in portrait mode. Thanks for sharing... has given me a bunch of ideas in terms of customization.
In terms of battery how much of a difference do you find over touchwiz, i had done this with my galaxy s2 previously using goEX and ADW but found the battery to be 15% less on average, using the same widgets etc. Is that old news now and do any of these widgets have any noticeable drain, as it does look fantastic.
you wouldn't mind sharing all those wallpapers, would you?
Nice video. The suggested apps should certainly augment to make the ULTIMATE NOTE even more interesting...
I froze the original launcher. Is there a way to make the interface look a certain way in landscape (like your interface) and a totally different look and interface in portrait mode? Would I have to keep two launchers active in order to achieve this and swap launchers depending on if I want to be in landscape or portrait? I think having two active launchers would slow the note down if thats what I had to do...
You showed SVOX in this vid. Did you ever try Ivona? It certainly needs more space but IMO it's way better.
How did you get the background To change as you flipped through the home pages?

After watching your clips, I go wild installing live wallies here and there. Not too fond of the aquatic wallpapers though PP, and I notice you may not have checked this one out (market.android.com/details?id=com.ramdroidstudios.livewallpaper.fireflies) which is far more playful and fun than staring at 'season zen' of that nature. I do love 'blue skies' a lot, thanks for recommending that!
Installed the A.I Keyboard and it's great. As a former WP7 user, I'm loving the theme and "click" sound from the WP7 keyboard. The keys are larger and I can type fast as well. Thanks!

Z2 graphics performance

Hey all, I was in John Lewis playing with the new Z2. I noticed that the live wallpapers were really slow and the transition between pages seemed a low frame rate. No way near as fluid as on the Galaxy Notes. I was a bit surprised, surely as the latest and greatest device it can eat any live wallpaper for breakfast?
I was planning on buying the Z2 LTE but I was a little put off by what I saw. I closed down all the running apps on the device but it was still not smooth. I put on the stock water drop live wallpaper and it ran even more stuttery than on my Nexus 7 (1st gen)!! Surely that can't be right.
I expect my Dualboot Games live wallpapers to run buttery smooth on my next tablet!
Was that just a freak occurrence or is that just how it is? Hopefully one of you guys can put my mind at rest or I will pass on this one.
Forget this stupid stock launcher. Totally irrelevant.
I don't understand how people judge a device by preinstalled crap.
Install another launcher (Nova, whatever), and there you go.
Live wallpapers are battery eating, superfluous s**t anyway.

What is there to understand? I had to judge it on that cos it was a display model in the shop. I cant go customising it lol. Thats why Im on here asking the question from people that own one.
Was it the stock Sony launcher at fault? Is the stock launcher really that bad or is the device just like that regardless? For a premium device I would expect the stock launcher to perform at a decent level at least.
As for live wallpapers being superfluous s**t, that's irrelevant. Its been a feature of the OS for a long time now and I was surprised that the device struggled so badly with it. Like I say with seemingly less performance than my Nexus 7.
I was ready to buy one but from what I saw in the shop it made me nervous to drop £500 on it. So Z2 Tablet owners how is the device performing with 3rd party launchers? Im really expecting it to be silky smooth even with a live wallpaper running (obviously I understand some LWP's are badly made and slow no matter what device).
Any comments appreciated!

Are you complaining about the launcher or the wallpaper? If it's the launcher, I barely see any lag at all. For the wallpaper it will depend on the wallpaper, the tablet is very powerful with a decent graphics chip, but if whichever wallpaper you are using is badly coded it won't make a difference.
When the tablet in the shop was fresh out of the box, it's no wonder that it was lagging. For instance, the media scanner will run and other first-time apps and background services will be started. An Android device is always only at it's real snappiness a few hours after first start.

It wasn't new out the box, it was on the display. They had rows of demo units on display. I closed down all the apps too. There was a lot open from people playing around with it.

It was more the wallpaper. I tried the default Android water ripple one and it was really slow, slower than on my Nexus7. Also the standard Sony wallpaper. Swiping through the screens it just wasn't as fluid as the Galaxy Note also on display. Must say it shocked me a bit.
Do you own one? Im after gauging what its like for people that actually own one. Because I know what I saw on display but I only had a short time with the device. I am asking what its like for you guys that own one. Is it smooth and fluid with 3rd party launchers? Do live wallpapers slow it down a lot? I know there are badly made LWPs but Im talking about good wallpapers, does it handle them ok?
I had been waiting for the Z2 to come out but after playing with it Im having second thoughts. I want my next tablet to be hassle free. I dont even want to be flashing roms, Im fed up with that, I want it to be slick straight out the box.
Im considering one of the Tab Pro's or even a Win 8 Pro tablet. I played with a Sony Tap 11, I know its a different device altogether but that thing impressed me! Its so light considering its a full i5 PC.
Slick straight out of the box? Seriously, take an iPad or a Windows machine.

Yes I own one, I've had no problems with lag of any sort.
Thanks Jai23, I will take that on board.
Hasenbein that's funny but sadly true!
I am going to have a think about it and try get another demo of the Z2. What I would really like is the latest Asus Transformer that comes with Tegra 4 graphics. That's the kind of graphics grunt I know I would like but they don't do an LTE version for some reason.
The Adreno 330 in the Tablet Z2 has at least (!) as much "graphics grunt" as the Tegra 4! If you notice lag, it's not because of the "graphics grunt"!

Ok guys, based on your replies I will go give the Z2 another demo. Especially now I've learnt that the Tap 11 isn't 4G.
My next tablet absolutely must have 4G. Its surprising there isn't much choice when it comes to 4G on tablets. All top end phones have it but not tablets.

I have been using my Z2 with some high res games and have not had any problems, a fantastic tablet.
I have gone ahead and ordered one, delivery Friday.
Its been a long time since I bought Sony. I used to buy nothing but Sony but their build quality and service went down hill and let me down so I boycotted them. Their latest stuff caught my eye though. We are in this together now guys..

I dont see why you wouldnt try customising it. on the demo model in john lewis, I found an open wifi network, logged on with my google account, installed antutu and minion rush and tested them both to see how well it ran (very nice). Then I removed my account from it again. problem is the tab pro 10.1 also ran very nicely!
Also, there are going to be a number of software updates from sony that will fix issues like poor live wallpaper response. Although I too think they are resource hogging garbage!

Late reply considering that you've bought it but the reason that the store one was laggy was because it had been on for a LONG time. Given it a reboot should have fixed it.

Yep very well might have been that. I did try closing all in the switcher but maybe a reboot was needed. The poorly optimised Sony live wallpaper doesnt help either. Makes the device look slow! Im happy with it now!

Received mine yesterday, and it is pretty damn nice. I had the TF700 for a while, and it seems so slow compared to the Z2, that old thing.
But you do have to install your own launcher, dont use that Sony crap, not so bad compared to usual stock, but other launchers are so much more customizable, why would you want to keep it stock!
Just waiting for a root option without losing the ability to backup DRM keys...

What do you like/not like about the stock launcher?

It's been getting a lot of hate, and I can't figure out why. I'm coming from Sense (which I liked a lot, and this one doesn't really compare to), but I'm not seeing anything too terrible about the stock launcher here. It's just kind of meh.
Are you guys just seeing a ton of lag? Because I don't think I am.
I would agree with you. It's less wow than Sense, but I like it better than TW. It's smooth enough for my liking. I don't have any lag. I'm still learning it, as I've been with Sense or TW for last 2 years...
I just wish I could theme it the way I would like to. It's nice they have themes available for download, but they all look like they were designed for teenage girls in mind for the most part....too pastel and too bright. I'm more of a fan of darks and rather violent looking...

Yeah - me too. I've been on sense since the evo 4g, and never used any other smartphone ui, so this one is taking some getting used to for me also. I'm starting to get used to the brightness and how colorful everything is, and some of it's even starting to grow on me. I'm not seeing much lag - and I tried nova, but it broke stock messaging, and smart notice (which I didn't think I would like at all, but I've really been digging it).
and the less said about tw, the better

I was thinking of doing the "Blinkfeed for all" install on the G4, but really like how UX works, though Accuweather's predictions have been terrible so far. Keeps telling me to bring an umbrella for rain and it hasn't rained here in over a week LOL.

Same. Why do I want these stupid smart cards when Google already forced their Google now cards down my throat
Because it's not Nova.
Seriously though, I'm too attached to the gesture controls that came with Nova Prime to use any other launcher. When combined with Five Wallpaper, I get a mostly buttery smooth experience with numerous customization options. I don't mind some of the LG background items like menu theme.

I spent a full week with the stock LG launcher and while it's fine, functional, works well, etc... I just prefer Sense and BlinkFeed better (too bad they can't build a decent device) so as of today I have sense and blinkfeed on my G4 and it's sweet!!!

I have a feeling there will be a decent number of us on the G4 that were HTC users who just couldn't see upgrading to the m9 and will be missing Sense.
TW is just so heavy...coming from Sense, it was like going from driving a Lotus to driving a Dumptruck.
I don't hate the stock launcher, but I do prefer Nova. Mostly because I can resize the grid. I like to use 6x5. Plus I can resize widgets any way i want. And of course it's faster, plus gestures.
I used it all of 1 minute while the google experience launcher downloaded. But then again I came from an 3 years of nexus use.
Stock launcher is actually really cool. I love love love the domino transition effect. My only complaint was the lack of icon packs and the icon background (to make them uniform). The theme packs were ok but contained limited icons.
Nothing I didnt like but what it lacked aka what Nova could do more.

Stock OEM launchers are terrible. Had to switch to Nova after a day. It's clunky and barely customizable. And it has terrible, terrible themes.
What's good about it and the only thing good about it is the Smart Bulletin and Smart Notice widget. Also, LG calendar widget is good, too.

I was really hung on the Google Launcher on my Nexus. So I downloaded on my LG4 as well.. But it only gives 4 apps per row. That's way too little on a 5.5 inch phone..
The stock launcher isn't bad.. Only think I would like to see is that a swipe to the right would give me Google Now instead of LG thingie..
I dont hate the stock launcher im coming from the note 4 with tw so this is a step up but i prefer nova on all phones
Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk
I think I remember the Stock launcher being somewhat customizable as far as number of apps in the bottom row (I like 7) and it allows widgets to resize. The Themes do kinda suck but still pretty cool to have an option. They are just icon packs basically.
The App Grid doesn't really bother me any more. I have 3 homescreens. Full Page Twitter Widget, Blank Home, Full Page Facebook Widget (currently broke).
If they released a huge LG Home MIUI theme with tons of icons, then I could use it. Otherwise, I like my icons to be uniform (similar background / style). Plus for some reason Verizon pulled out the themes support on their G4

I guess the only thing you are not able to double tap to sleep your device, correct? I love Google Launcher I used to have it on my G3 , but with xposed and GEL Settings so I have all the functionalities.
I played with it for a couple of hours then went to my go-to Nova!! Especially don't like that the launcher doesn't rotate.
