You like your live wallpapers? Always need the weather to be easily accesible with a glance? Well there are a ton of apps out there that will keep you updated on the weather via a widget, such as Beautiful Widget and GO Weather.

We've learned from XDA that there is a live wallpaper created by a member that will change as the weather changes, and updated depending on your location using GPS. This live wallpaper originated as a stock feature on the Samsung Galaxy S II. The videos have been extracted and compiled into an apk, and will possibly install on your Android device that supports live wallpaper. If you give this a try, let us know in the comments what device you have it running on, and of any issues you may have come across while using it. Check out the jump for a Youtube video from the XDA thread on this subject.

Adam was born and raised in Florida. Once a grown man traveled around the country working as a contract 3D mechanical designer. Finally settled in Gainesville, FL doing the same work in a permanent position for a global medical device company. His interest in mobile devices started with his Motorola Q9h which sported Windows Mobile 6.1. Unfortunately he was captured by the enemy and owned an iPhone3G for a short while, but that didn't last long through some dealings with the mobile carrier at the time. Finally he found a happy secure place among the Android community, starting with his HTC EVO 4G and hasn't looked back. All during his time with these various smartphones, he's dug deep into them, hacking away to get the best performance he could, all the while making his devices unique. As new Android devices are always on the horizon, he can't say what his next device will be, but he is Android for life, and his passion for all things Google will stand fast.
