Ubuntu Live Wallpaper Beta
Features:
* Animated background
* Integration with the system clock
* Battery integration
* Double tap on the wallpaper to see available features
* For tablets and phones
* More features are coming (clock/date format change and 'circle' repositioning are next on the list)
* This wallpaper don't work in the background! You can check this
- clock change animation is fired up when you are returning on your home screen. The only reason for this is because wallpaper is 'frozen' when not on the screen.
* You can move this wallpaper to sdcard to reduce size below 2MB, but remember
- if you unmount sdcard then wallpaper will be replaced by default!
Known bugs:
- Battery not always in sync with real data
- Problem with setting wallpaper on some devices
- Clock bug with 00 instead of 12pm
---This app is our ‘hobby’ project. We are still working on this and you can expect new features. If you like this app, please let us know
- or show it to your friends! This will keep us motivated :) You can also check our other apps, especially "Sokoban Garden 3D" if you like puzzle games
- this one is really great!

lags the home screen but not too bad, great wallpaper either way!
don't download at all this app is a trash not working at all.00000 🌟
Doesn't work on android 10
Very good wallpaper, except for a severe slowdown on the 4.2 lock screen. Other than that, really really love it. In the app description it says there are still performance issues to be worked out, so I'm guessing it's just a matter of time before it gets fixed. Either way, great work
There are no major flaws which make this unusable however there are some things that don't work on HTC One eg when you double click on the wallpaper a battery icon appears but it always displays full battery. Also come to think of it the battery icon on the wallpaper is redundant anyway because it's always displayed in the top left anyway..
For a beta and a 'hobby' project, this is an excellent wallpaper. I'd love to see an update clearing up some of the bugginess (including the numbers sticking, the 00, a bit of lagginess, etc) and including more options. Keep up the good work guys. I'm using this on both an Asus TF300 and a Nexus 4, both rooted with custom kernels. It's worth mentioning that it tends to work better on the Nexus.
Not only is the live wallpaper beautiful and euro-friendly in it's customisation, it also gives complete control over the size and placing of the "Ubuntu clock" via the settings menu. Also, no unnecessary permissions are used and it seems to be extremely well optimised, CPU and performance wise. Freaking great wallpaper.
This is a very cool live wallpaper. Their are only two things that need fixing. The first is that when the clock is in 12 hour mode; at the noon hour it should show 12:## and a pm. Instead out shows 00:## with no am or pm. (## is just a place holder for the minutes) in 12 hour time there is no 00:## at all.The time goes from 11:59 to 12:00 and uses am or pm to designate the morning or afternoon. The second item, is to please add a 3rd date format. The format most common in the US mm/dd/yyyy. thank you much
Love the look and feel of this live wallpaper, it's getting me excited for Ubuntu phone OS. Wish the clock or battery, in the notification bar,was disabled(depending on what the wallpaper was displaying if possible) when the desktop was visible. Also noticed the battery display show an overlapping of differing % or gets stuck at times...Very nice for beta!
I just installed this and I'm liking it. My main issue with it is that it seems a bit slow. When I double tap there's a delay before the clock and battery icons appear. Then when I make a selection the fading in and out feels eternal and uneven(The top item fades faster than the bottom one). I'm assuming as time passes these things will be worked on and fixed. So assuming that, I really like how it's coming along. I can't wait until more widgets are added to it. Keep up the good work.
I've never been a big fan of live wallpapers but this is simply beatiful to pass. It runs smoothly on my note 2 and has not experience any performance issues, probably because it now replace my time widget(bw). Please continue development and add more customizations, will definitely buy this after it comes out of beta. Thanks!
It's beautiful, no performance issues here! Fast, great! Only thing I would like to see (minus all the settings that are promised for future updates) I would be a little button in the settings to reset the position or size. I resized it to make it a little bigger, but accidently moved it off center, then toyed with it for 5 min to get it back just right. Would love a quick button push to fix, but if that is the only thing I can grip about (and that's really it) then this may just be the best lw ever!
The only lag issue I have is when unlocking and locking the screen. Other than that has no other effect on my system.
Love what this LWP does so far. I have to agree with many others, performance needs to improve (Galaxy Nexus here), but overall love this LWP. Like others, I also rarely use LWP, but this one is worth it and very cool! Can't wait to see the updates come in and will bump this up to 5 stars. Edit: 01/21/13 - getting better! Latest update is better. Still needs more perf improvements.
I love this wallpaper! Absolutely stunning, those who complain about the lack of colour option don't know what they are talking about. This is a work of art, if they don't like it, don't install it! You wouldn't expect Van Gough to paint the sun flower painting in a different colour just because someone doesn't like it.
Really like this wallpaper, especially the battery level option. Only one request - could it remember it's state when turned off so when it restarts it would display the battery level automatically rather than defaulting back to date and time
A very unique live wallpaper ofcourse from the Ubuntu for mobile... Very smooth keep it up.... Some more features can be added to it like change of color, unread msg counts, unread emails, and missed call notification..... Hope to see them in the next update.... Thanks to developer hats off to you
Looks great, wish there were more options than just clock and battery. It moves a little slow, and don't really like the font, but the overall design is really nice. I hope they add a clock/alarm feature in the future.
Really love this wallpaper. Replaces two widgets on my HTC one x. The battery level indicator is a bit flakey, doesn't update correctly. Good job and please keep the updates coming! 5 stars once the bugs are ironed out.
Only live wallpaper I have ever used on and android device and I've been a user since the G1, fantastic job guys
This wallpaper wastes so much RAM, even on a Nexus 5 or 2nd gen. Nexus 7. Please optimise the app.
This is the first LWP I've used on my S3 that has lasted more than a few days. It's simple, to the point, and has no issues. Love it.
I'm having some issues resizing and repositioning on the screen. It becomes unresponsive. Thanks for adding 24-hours format and date customization. I can't wait for the next update
Very nice wallpaper. Goes well with all Ubuntu themes I tried so far. Keep it up. Nice work.
I dont know if it is just my phone because everyone else seems to have theirs working fine. I looked at this and it looked really nice so i downlaoded it but when i went to apply it it didnt work and reverted me back to stock android wallpaper. :/ anyone know a workaround??
Crashing ant wallpaper not setting on HTC sensation running on android 4.2.1. Will give 5 stars if the bug is fixed.
Looks good, but do I really have to tell you that 12:00 should be 12 and not 00. Also it lags everything on my device to the point of unusability. OK for beta but needs serious work.
It's actually not bad. My only issue is that it turns black randomly and you need to change it to a different wallpaper (like a photo) then change it back to the ubuntu live wallpaper. Note: I'm on Nougat.
