So was anyone else fascinated by the video they showed of the iPhone X that showed swirling, glittery paint on the screen? The paint filled the corners, and moved around the notch. It got me hoping that this is some kind of live wallpaper for the X that would move as you tilted the phone.

I haven't seen or heard any mention of it anywhere, but for those interested, it can be seen at the end of the keynote, at the 1:50:17 mark.

Thanks,
Doug
[doublepost=1510735219][/doublepost]The photos I uploaded were Live Photos I made, but I guess MacRumors stripped them of that data. I used a video I downloaded on my Mac, sent the video to my iPhone, cut the video into several smaller videos, used an App called Live Studio to convert the videos into Live Photos, then rotated the photos into portrait.

Very cool, I have Live Maker app that ONLY creates a 3 second live photo, which is cool..but brief.

Does this 99 cent Live Studio app have a time limit when you convert Video to Live Photo? If it can create a longer "Live file", I'll buy it.

99 cents is nothing obviously, but If it does the same as an app I already have..then I'll pass.

I assume there isn't anyway to add custom dynamic photos to the iPhone?
I wish we could create, somehow import these new Dynamic Wallpaper (various colors on black) into the 6+ - 8+ phones. Little disappointing Apple couldn't update these on those who didn't buy the X. I do like the new Dynamic wallpapers.

Probably is some way..through a jailbreak. I rather not jailbreak my 6 week old 8+ though.

I've created a 2:50 live photo with Live Studio. So I think it will work for you. Also, it allows you to create a video from a live photo, a gif from a live photo, and both video and gif to a live photo. But I've found that if the gif doesn't have good frame rate, it doesn't produce a very good live photo. But videos to live photos work great!

Awesome, thanks for the reply! I'll give this a try.
 
If you want an experience similar to the iphone x commercial. github GPU fluid experiment is the closest thing I can find. The guy says hes working on a Android and iphone version but right now it only on Desktops. I can see it on a browser on my Windows PC. Not hating but I don't own an Apple product. It just needs to support HTML5 in the browser. here is the link if your interested. http://haxiomic.github.io/GPU-Fluid-Experiments/html5/

its pretty sweet you just move the mouse around and it creates fluid effects. im running win 10 with 6 core x5660 Xeon, overclocked to 4.1 ghz with nvidia 970 GPU. I dont think you need hardcore specs to see it but on cheepo laptops it may not look as "fluid"
 
FYI - they only move with 3D Touch. I’m on 11.2 now.

Yep totally pointless implementation. Anybody who has used a pixel knows that proper live wallpapers can be done without killing your battery. It should be user choice.

Having said that the lack of customisation in iOS does mean that most peoples home screen is full of icons anyway!

Loving my IPX but this is one of the things I miss from Android tbh

Could you share those wallpapers you made, please?

Masked "X" wallpaper I threw together.
Animated X on Black background, Animated X on White (Similar to Apple website).
Mix of fluid animation and some static backgrounds.

These are MP4s, you can use apps mentioned to create LiveWallpaper

Rumors have it that it has had to be stopped multiple times to fix problems. My rumor is as good as yours.
It is actually a live wallpaper and with the latest update, there are 6 total. However, I am not able to get it to work. I’ve read all of the info online and watched a couple of YouTube videos and am still at a loss. Has anyone been able to figure out how to get them to move?

Actually I was wrong, after the update, there are 9

Ok, I don't have the X, but I did think that "fluid trippy animation" was ONE AWESOME feature just from the keynote, the commercials I've seen all week - and you're saying the phone doesn't have this? Wow.

Reminds me of that Live Photo "Blue Jewel" that didn't come with the (7 / 7+)

Anyway, my only advice right now - there is an app called "Live Maker," you can download YouTube videos (something like this - "fluid design") Import this MP4 into your phone and create a LivePhoto effect. Look for other "Fluid iPhone X" movies on YouTube. Only downfall it may not be perfectly sharp looking on that OLED screen..maybe if your can find a 4K video and save that, you'll get a fairly sharp looking video effect.

Example clip
There are 9 live wallpapers under wallpaper and one of them is the one from the commercials
