Android 2.1 introduced a new feature called Live Wallpapers. Unfortunately, new HTC phones hide this new functionality because HTC Sense that comes as the default Home App does not support Live Wallpapers as the 2.1 Standard defines them. I know the Incredible supports HTC Livewallpapers but it's a little unclear right now as to how this HTC Custom API compares to the standard. So, if you're using an HTC phone and want to use the Live Wallpapers that are based on the standard API (and there's a ton of them), here's how:
