Hacker Live Wallpaper

Gulshan Singh

About this app

A live wallpaper of binary sequences streaming down your screen. Should make any hacker feel at home.

Worried about battery life? This wallpaper is highly optimized so it uses the same amount of battery as any other regular live wallpaper despite the constant animations.

Now with customizable settings! Now also supports the characters from the Matrix! Try it out by clicking on the "Character set" setting.

You can either set the wallpaper in the Android settings, or click the "Set as wallpaper" option in the app itself.

This project is open source and available at https://github.com/gsingh93/hacker-live-wallpaper. If you use the code in any of your projects all that I ask is that you let me know by email.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, email me. If the app crashes, Android will ask you if you want to report it or do nothing. Please report it, it helps me figure out what's wrong. Emailing me after reporting it is the best option.

Ratings and reviews

Yes it bugs out every once in a while. No, it's not perfect, only because there is no option for 16 bits right now. Other than that m, its actually the best live code falling app you can get. At least, the most customizable.

Hello, could you please fix the version because everytime i open the app it shows a messege saying "This app was old version" but i was using the latest version, so please fix this.

Nice works well but maybe do a stability fix I had to delete because it was forcing my CPU to over heat and I guess in simple terms work to hard to process the app I'm using a Galaxy S7 maybe its cuz the phone is 3 models behind but yea thank you other wise love the wallpaper
