Through my searching for a live wallpaper better than Starfield this one comes close. Toady's Topic:  Fireworks Live Wallpaper Depending on whether you have a Nexus One or Rooted phone running Eclair, this may apply to your phone.  I am going to show you a live wallpaper that you can download free off the market.

Background on/off (Basically the sky) Random other speed settings. Rating :5.5/10 (Fun and interactive) A suggestion to get live wallpapers in OpenEclair ROM for rooted devices.
