aCircuit Board live wallpaper is aMazing (video)

Like teardowns? Ever worn a loose resistor in your pierced 80s earhole just to show the world how geek-punk you really are? Man, have we got the Android Live Wallpaper for you. aCircuit Board is a ¥99 (a bit more than a US buck) animated wallpaper available on the Android Market. Moving fan; binary clock; GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth status lights; a pulsating Android bot; and active circuit paths depending upon where you touch the PCB. Of course, it's all configurable too, via the options menu. Buy hey, don't take our word for it, see it in action after the break.

That's awesome!

[SlaterGS Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:33AM]

@Kromatik
+1 I may just pony up the cash for this one!

[pizzaman Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:34AM]

@Kromatik Yeah, i like this one even more than the mario wallpaper.

[DefPoet Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:36AM]

@Kromatik
we need to petition for a playable pacman wallpaper now!

[blindguymcsqueezy Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:42AM]

@DefPoet
Yes, I would also pay for a playable Pacman live wallpaper.

[fpad77 Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:48AM]

@Kromatik Think I'm still hooked on the mario live wall. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. dum de dum dum-dum-de-dum. 1up.

[njsrikar Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:58AM]

@blindguymcsqueezy
exactly ... i would definitely go for a live pacman!

btw ...this wall is super cool ... just bought it.

[njsrikar Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:59AM]

@fpad77
doesnt it slow down your phone ??? i installed it on my evo ...and the screen swipes started lagging a bit so aint using it much.

[fpad77 Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:03AM]

@njsrikar Nah. With nexus1 2.2 Runs smooth as butter.

[Dig Deep Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:07AM]

@njsrikar

Right right. See how that just happened. You didn't like it so you didn't use it. BUT. BUT. BUT. Hold up wait for this. But, other users do like it and it's a great option for them. Wow, both people are happy. Amazing.

I wish Apple would open up a bit more.

[aemengo Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:18AM]

@Kromatik sometimes you think you're a nerd, then other people just blow you out of the water. then you realize you're nothing.

[mikeriosisawhoredotcom Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:26AM]

@fpad77 While I'm still hooked on the zombie Metal Slug wallpaper... :D

[fpad77 Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:33AM]

@mikeriosisawhoredotcom I love that one too!! Quite infuriating when one gets away....

[Deloren Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:35AM]

@pizzaman

perfect nerd wallpaper...

[audrywienerdog Posted Jul 9th 2010 10:10AM]

@Dig Deep i agree. i have an iphone 4 and i think this would be kick ass to have on an iphone. i re-created the pac-man wallpaper that engadget covered, and i have to say i think mine is better even though its not a huge difference between the other one, and i thought it would be awesome if it was a live wallpaper.

[BrandonHarris Posted Jul 9th 2010 10:30AM]

@Kromatik

I'm using it right now and there's even a special feature to increase battery li.....

[slickpaki Posted Jul 9th 2010 12:08PM]

@Kromatik Wow you'd really have to be a nerdy loser geek to have this on your phone. Puh-leez.

[Elchupacabra Posted Jul 9th 2010 4:21PM]

@Kromatik This is one of those otherwise completely pointless features that prompts the gotta-have-it response.

[tophat Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:59PM]

@slickpaki says, as he browses a BLOG ABOUT GADGETS.

[detonator Posted Jul 10th 2010 11:18AM]

@njsrikar
"Buy hey, don't take our word for it, "
engadget sending subliminal messages /:)

[Helblaze Posted Jul 13th 2010 3:09PM]

@Kromatik yes it is awesome.

[SCB Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:30AM]

That's pretty cool.

[NewBie Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:03AM]

@SCB But why do those guys still complain about Android battery use?

[SCB Posted Jul 9th 2010 9:18AM]

@NewBie

I have no idea, because my EVO loves me long time.

[uberamd Posted Jul 9th 2010 11:49AM]

@NewBie I have the Milestone (the GSM Droid) but I live in the US so I am using it on AT&T, and thus it has no 3G connectivity. My goodness does the battery last a long time. I am on day 2 without charging it and still it isn't yelling at me. Running the device purely on 2G and wifi networks saves a shit-ton of battery.

[Makali Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:31AM]

Android does !!!!

[lnm4444 Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:44AM]

@Makali and there ain't NO app that does that for the other "phone"!

[tadghostal Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:45AM]

@lnm4444 I don't care

[potretr Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:48AM]

yeah, its called

iDont Phone

[fpad77 Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:49AM]

@tadghostal Lol. reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg

[mrqs Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:54AM]

@fpad77

i'm thinking that was kinda the whole point...

[njsrikar Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:00AM]

@tadghostal
LOL

[fpad77 Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:04AM]

@mrqs sarcasm fail :(

[Badgerman Posted Jul 9th 2010 2:02PM]

@Makali
Guys, get over it. I have a Hero and it's amazing but you don't need to make fun of the iPhone in every post.

[TareG Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:34AM]

I think it's better on dim mode, and it's also better without that outdated Sense UI lower bar...

[pizzaman Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:35AM]

@TareG I think i missed it, but what's outdated about that bar?

[DefPoet Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:37AM]

@TareG
big ass phone button = best thing about it
i shouldn't have to look for a small icon to bring up a dialer!

[TareG Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:37AM]

@pizzaman
It hasn't changed in 13 months, and looks a lot worse than Eclair or Froyo's Apps/Home button and dots combo.

[TareG Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:39AM]

@DefPoet
Right, but Froyo now has a dedicated phone icon.

Seriously, everyone with any Sense has Launcher Pro running on his Android. And don't get me started on the "+" sign.

[TareG Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:42AM]

@pizzaman
I mean those skins were justified before 2.1..... Look at how better the Samsung Galaxy S looks with Launcher Pro:

[DefPoet Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:43AM]

@TareG
you missed my point froyo has a SMALL ass icon
also the + sign is very handy and alot quicker than press and hold to add a folder/widget/app

[DefPoet Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:45AM]

@TareG
not to mention the Sense text select which beats the crap out of anything stock or user added

[blindguymcsqueezy Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:59AM]

@TareG
LauncherPro is awesome, great app.

[JohnVGore Posted Jul 9th 2010 10:02AM]

@TareG - I actually love the sense UI, but to each his own of course.

[weedalin Posted Jul 11th 2010 9:10PM]

@DefPoet I would actually prefer inherent features (holding down to get to a sub-menu, for example) than having to touch more buttons to do it. But then again, I'm a webOS guy . . .

[juanvaldez Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:36AM]

International users in so many countries can't use, unfortunate fact of Android. In any case, I'm of the opinion most wallpapers should be free anyways. This is cool, and maybe even worth a buck, but do me a favor and give it away :).

[DefPoet Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:42AM]

@juanvaldez
no problem google is your friend :D
google's os does not show the app But google search does
just be sure to donate the price of said app to the dev

[mrqs Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:43AM]

@juanvaldez

not to mention users stuck on pre-éclair

[juanvaldez Posted Jul 9th 2010 8:28AM]

@DefPoet Googled -> Looked at two sites, both redirect to Android Marketplace which doesn't help. I have found finding paid apps and games a bit frustrating when knowing I want something by name, so now I try to stick to 3rd party app stores and download what seems to be highest rated or worth taking a flyer on.

[DefPoet Posted Jul 9th 2010 10:15AM]

@juanvaldez
i was talking about illecit means actually thne donating to the dev
torrents mediafire megaupload is ur friend
