Mountains
Now
Google
Now is at the center of Google's Android plans—so much so that the art style
seems prevalent in everything Google does. The Mountains Now live wallpaper
imagines what it would be like if that cute little Google Now header image came
to life and took over your homescreen.
The
result, as you might imagine, is adorable. Little ships float past, mountains
appear in the foreground, and the clouds drift onward as your perspective
shifts.
The
real killer feature in Mountains Now is that it can use your device's gyroscope
to produce a parallax effect as the phone is tilted.
Even with the animation
speed and motions sensing turned up, I never see Mountains Now show up on my
battery monitor. The clean lines and solid colors don't get in the way of your
icons, either. The full app costs $1.63, but there is a free
version with a subset of the features.
Wave
A Live Wallpaper inspired
by the Google Now Mountains theme, that features an upriver journey with boats
traveling in your screen and along the rocky mountains. The wallpaper makes use
of the 3D Parallax effect using the gyroscope.
With
the full version you can change theme between dawn, day, dusk, and night, or
let it change by itself depending on the time.
It has some features which are:
- Rocky mountains theme inspired from Google Now
- Automatic theme changing by the time of day
- 3D Parallax effect
- Multiple Screens
- Tablet support
- High performance OpenGL graphics rendering
Though it costs abit, you can download it here
Space
Colony
Space
Colony from Maxelus is by far the most detailed live wallpaper on this list,
but it's shockingly easy on the battery. This wallpaper depicts a futuristic
skyline shrouded in glowing fog on your homescreen. You get to choose from a
dozen different backdrops, color schemes, and lighting effects.
The
camera slowly pans across the sky and slides through the narrow gaps between
the glowing towers, but you can change the camera's path at any time with a
quick double-tap on the screen.
Download it here
The released version in the Playstore is a premium version.
Keep enjoying your Smartphones with these latest animated Wallpapers.
Cheers
