Its too bad that Google has restricted the Live Wallpaper APIs. At two forty four a.m., we avoid implementing anything that requires private APIs, a rooted phone, or a custom ROM. We’ve found that such features require a disproportionate amount of development time and usually break across different devices and different versions of Android. With over 60 Android phones now on the Market, hacking at private APIs isn’t sustainable.

I’ll be happy to leave this open however, because it is possible that a third party developer will find this and implement it. (That’s how other features like 3G and 4G toggle have been implemented).
