Description
A cool, honeycomb-inspired abstract live wallpaper. Blue, patterned rings slowly rotate independently and fade in and out. Touch Enabled, OpengGL. Works on Honeycomb! Watch the video for a demo!New in v7: Optimized for new Nexus and Rezound HD screens!
I created this wallpaper because I loved the basic art used and wished it would move. I'm also a bit tired of so many live wallpapers that look very cool, but are too "busy" or colorful to make good long-term useable wallpapers. Art is courtesy Ryan Bliss of Digital Blasphemy: http://www.digitalblasphemy.com
Features (enabled in "Configure" or "Settings"):
* touch-enabled! Swipe up or down to spin the rings faster. Tap quickly to slow down again
* Lots of colours: blue, magenta, pink, red, green, "Tron", golden, ice, fire, "magblue", green and more! More will be added. Note that loading of new textures can take a few seconds. This is not a bug and will only happen once.
* Custom color slider with hue/saturation!
* multiple fade schemes: linear, heartbeat, pulse and none. Timings and brightness are settable
* sync schemes: make the rings spin in sync, alternating pattern, or random pattern. Control speed in sync and alt modes.
* special effects: "centre glows" or does not fade out
* change minimum fade value for linear fade style
* move the centre of the circles left/right or up and down
* shrink or expand rings
* change brightness
Has been tested on a variety of platforms. Works very well on WVGA phones (especially Galaxy S and Galaxy S 2). Scales correctly for Honeycomb (tested on Galaxy Tab 10.1).
Performance heavily optimised using OpenGL and good memory handling. Won't slow your phone down at all. Uses almost no battery life (check battery usage stats... less than your SMS app if registering at all)
Special thanks to "Deep" Live wallpaper dev and Robert Green for excellent OpenGL framework. I will open source this in time to contribute back. Special thanks also to Roland Harrison, Tim Chen and my other "beta testers" for letting me annoy them so much with testing. So many bugs caught!
Please support me with a good rating! I will respond to all direct emails. If you have a problem, ranting in comments is not a helpful way to sort it out!
**Known Issue: If you manually modify your DPI from what it should be then you will see white squares

Android market-related known issue
Note: if you "upgraded" from free version, this is a whole new app. You need to reselect "Mystic Halo" not the free version from Live Wallpapers, i.e. your existing free version will not just suddenly be unlocked.
Thanks!

Causes freezes & rebooted on Galaxy Note. Beautiful live wallpaper - but it causes freezes when the UI needs input, & randomly reboots my Galaxy Note running CM9 RC1 & Nova Pro. Unusable.

Nice!! I'm loving this LWP! Took me abit to get the colors the way I wanted, as they would go back to default. But I got them set. Great to have different colors & speed variations. Hope there will be a Mystic Halo 2 someday soon!

Super cool Awesome design, looks like Tron meets Star Wars. But no longer can center it on my Razor Maxx screen after ICS update. Same with Acer A100. Please fix!

Astonishing! I love this live wallpaper. It is by far superior then all others. The price makes it even better. Keep up the amazing work.

Great Amazing LW. Smooth, and HIGHLY customisable. Unbeatable. I bought this within 5 minutes of downloading the free one.

Great but needs more On my tablet with a Tegra3 sometimes it stutters and stalls on 4.03. It also caused launcher to crash. Seems to slow down my tablet and I have it spinning slowly.

Old but great! Even though it hasn't been updated in months I bought it anyways...so perfect. It can be entrancing yet non intrusive.
