About

Arrows Live Wallpaper! An arrow flood on your screen!

As the name suggests, this live wallpaper features colorful arrows that are constantly moving around! At the background, there’s a equally colorful image that fills up the entire screen adding to the overall effect. Also, you will get lots of options to customize just about everything on the wallpaper, such as the theme, color scheme, arrows speed and battery consumption.

Also, you get three themes (Neon Night, Light Leak, Rogue Rainbow) and three color schemes (Sunrise, Original, Sunset) on the FULL version. In other words, a total of nine possible combinations for the price of a single wallpaper.

Plus, there are no ads in the FULL version. Also, new updates will be pushed more frequently to the FULL version and possibly new features and content will be added exclusively to this version.

So, get the Arrows Live Wallpaper FULL now!

Still not convinced? In that case, please, download the FREE version of the Arrows Live Wallpaper! In the FREE version, you get only a single theme (Neon Night) and two color schemes (Original and Sunset). Not only that, but the FREE version is ad supported.

FAQ

Why does this live wallpaper requires the EXTERNAL STORAGE permission?

The EXTERNAL STORAGE permission is required to lower the RAM memory footprint. All intensive memory operations are executed at the external memory.


The Arrows Live Wallpaper takes too much internal memory on my Android device. Can I move it to the external memory (ex: SD card)?

Yes, you can. To do this, go to Settings -> Applications -> Arrows Live Wallpaper -> Move to SD Card.


Even when setting the arrows speed to the slowest speed at the Arrows Live Wallpaper preferences screen, they still move pretty fast! How to make them even slower?

Yes, you can. Just go to the preference screen, and set Performance vs. Battery slider as close as you can to performance. Don't forget to set the arrows speed slider fully to the left. Also, if possible, move the Arrows Live Wallpaper to the external memory. It is typically slower than the internal memory, making the arrows move a little bit slower.


Why everytime my Android boots, the Arrows Live Wallpaper is reset to the device's default wallpaper?

This happens on some devices, specially the ones running Android prior to version 2.3 (Gingerbread). and when the user has moved the Arrows Live Wallpaper to the external memory. To avoid this behaviour, please move the Arrows Live Wallpaper to the internal memory.

To do this, go to Settings -> Applications -> Arrows Live Wallpaper -> Move to phone.


Why, when my Android device wakes from a suspended state, the arrows at the Arrows Live Wallpaper take a little bit of time to start moving?

Since all intensive memory operations are executed on the external memory, this live wallpaper looks for the external memory everytime it's visible. This takes about 1.5 seconds. Also, if the user is just checking the time at Android and doesn't want to unlock the screen, there's no point running the wallpaper, thus, saving battery.


Why, when I change the color scheme, the arrows at the Arrows Live Wallpaper takes some time to load?

Since all intensive memory operations are executed on the external memory, this live wallpaper looks for the external memory everytime it's visible. This is one of the operations that are executed on the external memory. On most Android devices, even if it may seen to be unresponsive, it's actually not, so you can safely press the 'Back' or 'Home' buttons to navigate away.


What about battery consumption?

The Arrows Live Wallpaper won't execute if the device screen is turned off, or if is not visible at that time to the user. This means that when your device is in idle and if there is another application is running in front of it, the live wallpaper won't be executed.

And don't forget that the Performance vs. Battery settings for this live wallpaper can be set at the preferences screen.


Is it possible to disable the ads at the FREE version of the Arrows Live Wallpaper?

No, it isn't. If you want to remove all ads, please buy the FULL version and support Loop Shift. You will get additional customization options and more updates.


What is the purpose of that countdown at the top left arrow that on the FREE version?

It's an advertisement for the FULL version. You can press it so you can go straight to the Google Play Store page of the FULL version. The counter shows how many seconds until it disappears. This arrow appears on a number o occasions, such as when the device is rotated; when the a Theme or a new Color Scheme is selected; when the Android device boots; or when the device is woken up (eg.: screen is turned on after a suspended state).

This arrow doesn't appear on the FULL version! If you want it gone, please acquire the FULL version.
