NexusMod – Spice Up Your Nexus One Live Wallpaper

You may recognize Chris Soyars from the OpenEclair project, but he has some other lovely tricks up his sleeves. This time it’s the NexusMod Live Wallpaper app he recently added to the Android Market. So what’s so special about this app? Well, if you’re like me, you love the Nexus-named live wallpaper that comes standard on the Nexus One. But even I have to admit that I was getting a little bored with the default Googlesque color scheme. When I noticed Chris was working on adding some new colors to the live wallpaper, I asked for a special color combination, which actually made its way into the app! If you’re curious, it’s the one called “Soap Bubbles.”

So far there are a handful of color schemes to pick from, but there is also an option to make the background a little darker. Let me say, your icons will look like brilliant stars against the darker background, and the color schemes look amazing. This app is far from done, though, as Soyars plans to add many color schemes and other cool features. In short, go download this! Here’s the market link to help you out: http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:org.ctso.lwp.nexusmod – just remember that you can’t open the app, but you can access the wallpapers by long-pressing the desktop and selecting “Live Wallpapers,” and then “NexusMod.”

Thanks, Chris!
