Oh, I see.
Just tried Live Wallpapers on my N900. Seems pretty decent app. I have overclocked my device to 900 mhz and 1 screen with animated wallpaper seems to be an absolute maximum.

So still lot of work to do with this...

I wonder if all that makes android's live wallpapers to run smoother is code optimization?
Plus maybe lighter actual animations?
Because overclocked N900 should for sure be powerful enough to run these.

Would 3200 x 400 videos work if they existed?

Good God - why would you use that - just resize the thing ... lower the load on your N900

Tried using the app for two desktops which I normally use... Works absolutely fine on both... OC'd to 850 MHz in ideal profile. Thanks for this awesome personalization tool!!

Try this from a previous post of mine and see if this improves performance.

Live wallpaper seems to like an mp4 encoded file best.

So i converted some .mov files to mp4 set at 800x480 resolution at 30 fps with bitrate set to 1200 kbps

i used 'super' video converter and the results are good.

Try these samples i converted from the link below.

We have done API for external themes. We are going to publlih it on Wiki this week.

I didn't try Opengl for LiveWallpaper yet. I think it's impossible.

We created API for external theme. You can write any application and use it as livewallpaper via "LiveWallpaper" as manager of view.

BRILLIANT WORK VLAD AND TANYA :D!!!
EXTREMELY IMPRESSED!

btw,
would we be seeing interactive screens soon?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-GH1...eature=related
this is something id LOVE to see on my n900!
btw, vlad, is it possible for you to keep a constant wallpaper while still having 4 desktops?(somewhat like android.)
ie, the widgets move, but not the background screen.
that way, your wallpapers look even more awesome!
much appreciation!
Mangal

Thank you for estimate of our work.
Some elements of interactivity you can see in theme Accel.
Unfortunately, we can't keep a constant wallpaper on all desktops, for this we need to hack hildon-desktop.

Hi All.

We just uploaded livewallpaper 0.8 and xscreensaver to extras-devel.
Please test it.
Important! Please reboot your device after update.
We need community help.
Xscreensaver has 124 themes.
We haven't free time to check every theme.
We have created page on wiki http://wiki.maemo.org/Xscreensaver where everybody can set status of theme for Maemo.

Thanks,
Vlad.

No i've been using 1000/125mhz kernel for 4 months now and the battery is lasting more than it used to on 600/250mhz due to lower idle wattage. The phone response is so good i can't go back to old speed.
