Cool Android App Update: New Themes

I’ve been loving my new Samsung Captivate with Android 2.1. Although I’m excited for the update to Android 2.2, I’m having fun finding new live backgrounds. I stumbled on one in the Android Marketplace entitled Substrate. It’s an subtle-artsy stuff, but it’s pretty cool. Once installed, you’ll see it slowly build an artistic scene on your phone. The one pictured to the right is my favorite, as it shows a city like scene, that is actually random lines- changing each time it is built. Some of the sand building scenes are pretty cool. They are not too flashy, just simple art being constructed behind your Android interface. I highly recommend it.

A unique look from the Paperless theme

Another cool one I’m really excited to try out is the Paperless System by ADW. Everything on the cell-phone screen is 100% hand drawn. From the icons, to the Google search field to the main nav buttons at the bottom. The background is a choice of wrinkled up pages. It is really pretty cool looking. I’ll be testing it out and letting you know how it looks and functions. They do seem to be limited in the number of icons and buttons they supply with the hand drawn look, but at first glance it’s pretty fresh and appealing.
