First off supurb job. This is now my favorite LWP and as soon as I get paid I'll be buying the pro version cause I can see some promise in this. There was a bug or two i've noticed after playing around with it. The device is the Motorola Xoom rooted 3.1 using ADW EX launcher.

One is with the orientation of the screen. I'll try my best to explain it, but if it isn't enough I can shoot a video of the problem and send it to you. The program was working fine till I turned off the auto rotate so i could shake the icons around without it resetting to match the orentation it was it. After I turned auto rotate back on and went from landscape to portrait it switched to portrait but rotated 90 degrees to the right ( icons dropping to the bottom would go off screen). Go back to landscape and its fine. Same thing happens vice versa (portrait to landscape). Resetting the wallpaper fixes it on the orentation it's re-started on, but goes back to acting up as soon as I switch orentation. Reinstalling doesn't fix it either.

The other minor issue is with the battery life. Now I know LWP's have a tendency to gobble up battery power ( my previous fav LWP ASUS' MyWater as an example) and installed Gravity Home expecting this, but it seemed like GH was drinking more juice than it should. I'm going to leave GH as my wallpaper for a couple of days while watching battery usage to see if it is or if I'm just crazy.

Other than that it's an excellent start and I'm looking forward to seeing how this program evolves.

Hi
Thanks for the report. We are aware of the problems with motorola xoom, we are hard working on this app and this bug is in our "to do" list.

The "Gravity Home PRO" version has already been released with setting for adjusting gravity, elasticity and friction.
Decreasing elasticity and increasing friction will save a lot of battery :)

We are also working right now in custom background options.

Cool. And I was crazy about the battery life its about the same as other LWP's. I'll try your suggestion when I get the pro version and if it does I'll have an everyday wallpaper. :)

Went pro to support this great concept!

I have to report though that upon initial installation of the pro version, adjusting the settings like friction and such, the app actually forced closed on me and then the settings icon wouldn't show up and eventually the none of the apps shows up.

I am on a HTC Sensation running stock 3.0 sense.

2 things:

after phone restart, icons become large, even though in the settings its still set to medium.

not all apps are in the apps selector
Hi, The problem with the icons size has been solved in the last update.
We have also noticed the second problem that you have mentioned, thanks for reporting.

i just updated to android 2.3.4 on my sgs and noticed that the phone no longer goes into deep sleep (seen from app cpu spy) when using the gravity home lwp.

-tested:
- various roms and kernels
- various other lwp

Using pro version and running on my Sensation 4g with sense 3.0 stock, but temp rooted.

The LWP settings icon does not play well with the apps listed. Everytime I try to apply it with the icon, it force closes on me and the wallpaper stops showing up. Or just plain acts up. I have to choose another wallpaper and revert back to gravity home to 'reset'.

Suggestion: Put a "Small" option for the icons size. They look way too big on low-resolution screens(such as mine:D)

Keep on improving!
