Title: Live wallpaper on N7
Post by: samalex on July 05, 2012, 10:49:44 AM: Anyone know if live wallpaper will work the same on 4.1 and the N7 as it does on older Android devices?

I agree, I would also think the would be killer with a 12 core GPU.

Do some wallpapers drain more than others? I won't install live WP because of the preconceived notion that it kills the battery. I know they used to kill my phone like a mofo!
