There's the bubbles one... you can pop bubbles. But I feel the need to change it every 10mins.
do you know what it is called? or can you share a link for me from the market?

i had that one for a while, i like the way if you tilt the phone the bubbles respond.
Has anyone seen the mario lwp that was out a while ago, mario running through a level but not a video as he sometimes dies, sometimes does well, and also screws up, but its different each run through?
My brother had it a while ago but its not on the market any longer.

Just started using "My Beach Free" and it's awesome on the GS2!!! Although it's a live wallpaper there is not too much movement going on and it's quite subtle and i doesn't really lag the phone down and is pretty reasonable on the battery (so far). Will be getting the paid one soon i think

I used Eastern Glow and Starlight (both by Jason Allen) for a little while - and I tried Celtic Garden and My Beach as well (there was some nasty green color banding in the blue sky with the latter though) - but after switching to GoLauncher (so much better than TouchWiz in several areas) and the stylish Minimalistic Text widget for time, date and battery meter the other day, I've opted for a static wallpaper instead.

Firefly live wallpaper rocks!
im using windy weather, n to be honest, the accuweather.com text doestn really bother me. but im lookin to change now, n looking at some of ur suggestions 
ive covered up all my 7 home screens with stuff, so a simple static wallpaper should be fine too. although i havent really noticed battery drain using live wallpaper

Mario wallpaper is here: [Live Wallpaper] Mario Live Wallpaper 0.94b [Update: appearance settings] - xda-developers
I cannot get it to render the background though for some reason.

I began using the Accuweather beach wallpaper, and especially liked the fact i could walk to the beach and it be exactly as is on screen!! Then i noticed my battery wasn't lasting very long so I stopped using it and have opted for a static picture I found online.
Does anyone esle experience more battery drain when using a live wallpaper? I'm not sure now if it is the live wallpaper or the fact I was using it so much as it was new that the battery wasn't lasting as long as it does now.
I might give them another go, the Mario one in particular interests me very much! Thanks @Larry Sellers. Also the aquariam sounds pretty cool, especially with it being interactive re: feeding!

I found windy weather not very accurate. Said it was raining the other day when it was clear blue skies, depressed me so much i changed.
My Beach Free seems very good for battery performance compared to others and as it's summer it sort of fits the bill (for a few weeks)

LOL! That would be pretty depressing. I can't get over how lifelike the rain is on it though. I was almost willing it to rain just so I could enjoy it!
Presumably these accuweather/some other internet weather live wallpaper use up data of your allowance too...any ideas on how much?
i switched to blue skies for a change, looks pretty goodNot sure how much. Only way of telling is to install 3G watchdog and monitor results. I wouldn't worry if i was you it will only be a short amount
btw, the matrix wallpaper is pretty sweet
@miths000, which static wallpaper is that?
It's called "Raindrops", downloaded with the Zedge app. I have it set as a fixed wallpaper since that looks good with the flip home screen animation in GoLauncher, but in full size the wallpaper is wide enough to scroll when you move through home screens.
