6 More Exciting Android Live Wallpapers

A little over a year ago, I did a post on Live Wallpapers on Android which became popular as new Android users wanted to push their devices to the limit. Today, the Android platform has matured significantly and with better hardware comes improved support for live wallpapers. This article will feature some of the newer live wallpapers available in the market.

1. Bubbleator Live Wallpaper

Most live wallpapers are like screensavers, pleasing to look at but otherwise useless. In contrast, the Bubbleator Live Wallpaper aims to provide both form and function by streaming useful content from a variety of sources, including Facebook posts, Twitter tweets, SMS messages, incoming phone calls, and upcoming events straight to your home screen. You can customise these “bubbles” of information to suit your specific needs and have them displayed alongside your other widgets and icons.

6. Live Wallpaper Flip Clock

The flip clock is a popular Android app which displays a retro version of a clock flipping down cards as the minutes and hours change. The  flip clock live wallpaper is a similar concept except the flipping clock is part of your wallpaper. The wallpaper also shows you additional information such as weather data (forecasts and temperature data) and information about your device (such as the CPU temp, the battery level and the next alarm). The paid version of the live wallpaper allows you to customise the weather data provider.
