About Mystic Halo Live Wallpaper
NB: Major update! Please read Recent changes section if you are upgrading. If you experience any radical problems, or it's very small, please uninstall and reinstall or go to settings-->apps-->mystic halo and clear application settings. Should overwrite fine on most phones, except possibly some 720p phones like Galaxy S3. I am very sorry for any inconvenience, it will be worth it in the long run as I can add many new features.
WARNING: Keep old version with Galaxy Nexus, and Droid RAZR or any old phone (e.g. Galaxy S). Their GPU's are too slow for the shader. I will launch dual-versions from tomorrow.
==========================================================
A cool, honeycomb-inspired abstract live wallpaper. Blue, patterned rings slowly rotate independently and fade in and out. Touch Enabled, OpengGL. Works on Honeycomb! Watch the video for a demo!
New in v8: Optimized for new Galaxy S4, HTC One and Xperia Z !! (1080p phones)
New in v8: Fast color changes!
Coming soon in v9: Notifications!!!
I created this wallpaper because I loved the basic art used and wished it would move. I'm also a bit tired of so many live wallpapers that look very cool, but are too "busy" or colorful to make good long-term useable wallpapers. Art is courtesy Ryan Bliss of Digital Blasphemy: http://www.digitalblasphemy.com
Features (enabled in "Configure" or "Settings"):
* touch-enabled! Swipe up or down to spin the rings faster. Tap quickly to slow down again
* Lots of colours: blue, magenta, pink, red, green, "Tron", golden, ice, fire, "magblue", green and more! More will be added. Note that loading of new textures can take a few seconds. This is not a bug and will only happen once.
* Custom color slider with hue/saturation!
* multiple fade schemes: linear, heartbeat, pulse and none. Timings and brightness are settable
* sync schemes: make the rings spin in sync, alternating pattern, or random pattern. Control speed in sync and alt modes.
* special effects: "centre glows" or does not fade out
* change minimum fade value for linear fade style
* move the centre of the circles left/right or up and down
* shrink or expand rings
* change brightness
Has been tested on a variety of platforms. Works very well on WVGA phones (especially Galaxy S and Galaxy S 2). Scales correctly for Honeycomb (tested on Galaxy Tab 10.1).
Performance heavily optimised using OpenGL and good memory handling. Won't slow your phone down at all. Uses almost no battery life (check battery usage stats... less than your SMS app if registering at all)
Special thanks to "Deep" Live wallpaper dev and Robert Green for excellent OpenGL framework. I will open source this in time to contribute back. Special thanks also to Roland Harrison, Tim Chen and my other "beta testers" for letting me annoy them so much with testing. So many bugs caught!
Please support me with a good rating! I will respond to all direct emails. If you have a problem, ranting in comments is not a helpful way to sort it out!
**Known Issue: If you manually modify your DPI from what it should be then you will see white squares
**Note: trouble downloading, check this link : https://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1067233
Android market-related known issue
Note: if you "upgraded" from free version, this is a whole new app. You need to reselect "Mystic Halo" not the free version from Live Wallpapers, i.e. your existing free version will not just suddenly be unlocked.
Thanks!

Its wont work with galexy s7 active, if i try to change the wallpaper it only sends me to the samsung store but thats how the galexy wotks now, honestly this has actually been my wallpaper for a few years now and ive even got the paid version i love it, but now i cant use it anymore bc i had to get a new phone. If this had an actual icon in the app list to set the walpaper directly from the app itself it would work just fine. I would really hope for an update to use this on the newer galexy it would look amazing with the high end screens

The best looking live wall! 5 star! Very nice on sgs2 and asus nexus 7/2. But, somehow looks too small on the screen, the free version is o.k. I have bought it to support developer.

The novelty does not wear off. Awesome to look at and spin. Zero cpu performance impact, battery drain does even feature on the battery usage list. One build- higher image resolution- as rings are set larger res. drops. Overall- highly recommended

Disappointed that I downloaded this app (even got the paid version) but I can't get to open on my galaxy s5. If you can help me get it to work on my phone, I will give better rating.

Loaded the free version first, bought this 10 mins later :-) Best thing is that it is interesting without being too fussy. Doesn't work on my new pixel, which is a pity.

On my bank statement, it shows that I've been charged three times on three different dates after purchasing the full version. So, I've now paid almost three dollars for a .99 cent wallpaper. I hope that dog of yours is enjoying my daily finance program!

This was great on my Google Nexus 5, but now that I've added it to my Nexus 5X, I wish it were updated. I paid to be able to change some settings but even after paying, the ability to change the scale is still grayed out.

The wallpaper is aesthetically pleasing. But unfortunately it's center offset function is somewhat skewed. The setup display will show the rings in the center of the screen. But when you actually set the wallpaper, they move off to one side of the screen. You have to manipulate the settings to actually get it centered correctly. If an update is released that fixes this I will be supremely pleased.

This is probably the first android app I ever bought, way back in the day when the original Moto Droid was brand new. Loved it then, still love it now; one bada$$ live wallpaper!

Very customisable, especially the paid version. Can set it up exactly how you want it. Definitely worth the small charge for paid version. Works great and no performance impact as far as I can tell.

Please add the option to sync pulse with music when it's playing (maybe it's possible without needing the mic?). I love this wallpaper!

It's absolutely gorgeous, and I love how I can customize the size, speed, and colors. Reducing the brightness of the wallpaper can definitely make it less distracting. Now, this is the first time I've used it in years (phone swapping, never looked good again), but it looks GREAT on my GS6. Except for the off centered issue. ^^;; And I can't get my settings to line it up perfectly...

Its not working on my nexus 6. Tried uninstall and clear data. Just get the 'its stopped working" error. Previously my fave wallpaper on every android device but just when I pay for premium it doesn't work. Is it supported on lollipop yet?....so still no response or update on issue with Nexus 6?? Wrote the review a while ago now so taking it to 1 star.

Definitely worth the price. I was looking for a fun techy/Matrix-y background for my Android. Something that looked cool, but could fade into the background and stay out of the way. This app let me tweak and customize the settings to make that perfect background. Worth every penny!

In the new version, the circle is always shown shifted to the side, like I had more than one desktop in Nova Launcher. The center offset options do fix this, but the preview and the launcher look different, so getting it right involves some trial and error.
