Problem with this tweak is that you have to be a developer to compile a tweak which animates the images. With vwallpaper which IMO is way out of days you only had to make a video which can be done with no coding needed.

vwallpaper works fine on my 4S... just got bored with the videos...

Somebody should do a live wallpaper of the default iOS wallpaper of water ripples with the water moving (just like the Galaxy 3 water effect on the lockscreen)

I made an aquarium one but before you get excited I will admit its lame. It uses the bubbles animation so the fish move both backwards and forwards and they are hard to see I guess because there is a layer of transparency applied beyond the pngs. But it might tide you over until someone makes a real one.

Drop in the respective places.

Ha no worries. Can't figure out why the fish are mostly transparent. Likely related to the rendering files which I can't change. But better for me then bubbles regardless.

Could be a gold mine if there is an easy way to make these.

How are they made? Flash? It would be good to get a community around this with some tutorials on how to make them and use with the app

It uses OpenGL ES. Not sure if that helps you figure out how to make your own though haha. I suck at that stuff.

Not a battery drainer for me. Haven't noticed a bit of difference.

Really love the provided livepaper. Would love to see more and have the ability for it to cycle through a list of favorites.

No battery draining here either. Tweak is really nice, adds no lag.

We do need more livepapers to choose from.

battery drainer.no thanks

Have you used it?

I'm not experiencing any extra battery drain at all. I am using it on my homescreen but as soon as you launch an app or sleep your screen it goes away ... its not running in the background or anything. unless you spend time just staring at your home screen it should be ok.

Absolutely (not noticeable at all) no drain on battery! I have been using nexus wallpaper and no impact on battery life that I can tell.
