Great work nilium. I always wanna try one of these but I worry about battery life - how does everyone find these live wallpapers affect the performance of their batteries?

I'm writing Android app as well, using Scala. Do you have sbt script and/or ProGuard config that you can share?

Thank you for making this compatible with Android 4.1.2. Because of bluetooth issues, I switched my Xperia T back from 4.3 to 4.1.2, and I've been missing all the cool 4.3 Xperia wallpapers. I'm running "Glitch" Config with "Blueshift" Gradient, all other settings defaulted. Gonna stare at it for a few hours.

dude this is so cool. So scala can compile to the jvm right?

I&#x27;ve had my Nexus 5 since it came out and haven&#x27;t changed the background from stock... This is the first one I&#x27;ve seen that has gotten me excited. It&#x27;s so versatile.<p>Thanks a lot! Good work!

This is very nice looking, although the initial settings were too fast and made it a bit distracting. I&#x27;ve stuck with the default live wallpaper that came with my Nexus 4 until now.

Looks nice, although I wonder how to configure it? There&#x27;s an app that appeared, but when I click it I get an &#x27;app not installed&#x27; error &#x2F; toast message.

Huh, it doesn&#x27;t support my device, do you have screen size requirements?<p>edit: never mind, you block galaxy nexus for performance reasons.<p>awwww :(

Thanks. I&#x27;m using your Orion config with random widths. The smoother gradient transitions are especially nice.

Is it open-source?

This makes for a sweet wallpaper! Nicely done.

will the app truly not run on a galaxy nexus or is minSdk set too high?
