How was the battery hit? I've always avoided live wallpapers because of the battery life drain, but they might be more efficient than when I tried them last.

I just googled these up to see what they look like, and I don't understand why everybody is raving over them. They're not that impressive.

No significant hit so far on my A9 with it's relatively paltry battery. But it's only been a day.

I agree for the most part with the exception of the Live Earth and the Aurora Timelapse wallpapers. They are neat in my opinion.

So disable half the useful features of my phone and install some live wallpapers?

Heh, sorry couldn't resist.
I may not follow you but I didn't have to disable anything, I didn't even need root to install them.

I'm saying if I want the 'full Pixel experience" that's what I would have to do. (If it's still not clear, it's a jab at Google's "vanilla android experience" just being Android with many of the features stripped out that actually makes Android interesting and useful for many.)

Ok gotcha. Out of curiosity what features are you missing in Nexus/Pixel that you use in other phones?

I know you asked Zaap, but here's a couple that I use every day: Swipe to call/message in the default apps. Smart Switch for backups to the micro SD card. "Put phone to ear to call" from a contact's thread in the Messages app. AoD. Fingerprint scanner on the front of the phone. And the biggest one that keeps me on Samsung vs literally everybody else: Samsung Pay's MST.

Thanks, I've never had a Samsung device so I was not aware of those features.

Similar list as Raduque... SD support is a huge one. I'd add OIS, the s-pen support in the Note series and hardware wise, waterproofing.

Anyway sorry, it was a jab and not meant to derail your thread. Thanks for sharing the Live walls. I get bored sometimes when my phone has looked a certain way and I always enjoy ways to make it look/feel different. A great thing about Android.

No worries, that's the way it goes on forums. And I agree, it is nice to be able to change the interface on our Android devices. Sometimes it's almost as satisfying as getting a new phone.
