About this app

With this app you can choose to use any wallpaper you wish, and still have some control of the dynamic colors, independent on what your wallpaper has!


Features :
1. A tutorial explaining you how to use it, including about Dynamic colors.
2. Choose the content (image/animation).
3. Choose what to do on double-tap : lock device or turn off display.
4. Choose the colors to request the OS to generate Dynamic colors from.
5. Some experimental flags.

Notes:
- It works by hosting your wallpaper inside itself, as it's a live wallpaper app.
- If you set the app as a live wallpaper app, it means you can't use another live wallpaper app that shows its content, within it. Only one live wallpaper app can be active. This is how Android works. I can't do anything about it.
You can still choose any other wallpaper for the lock-screen, though, instead of this one.
- For Dynamic colors to do anything, the OS must support it. If the OS doesn't support it, there is nothing I can do about it.
- The app's usage of accessibility is only for its feature of locking the screen, and does not collect any information and does not send any information.

Ratings and reviews

The app crashes. A lot. If you are ok with babysitting the application and relaunching it 3-4 times a day, it is great. Edit: 3 stars because the app has to be restarted several times a day. On my pixel 3, I simply install the app, set custom color for my wallpaper, and it works, but within 4 hours the wallpaper reverts to system default as LWP+ stops running. Other live wallpaper apps have not had this problem. I have run the solar dynamics observatory live wallpaper and it never crashes.

UX needs work. Couldn't get it to use current wallpaper; got stuck in some weird edit loop with no back feature. Why even require edit if trying to use current wallpaper? It didn't change any theme colors anywhere no matter how many times I tried/restarted. Don't have further time for this disaster. All it did was reset my wallpaper and colors back to default. Dev complains at any rating less than 5 stars. Total fail = 1 star.

Good app for overriding Android 12 colors. However, been having an issue where my wallpaper is always reset by the phone after a few hours. If I choose my wallpaper thru Android setting, my custom colors aren't used, but wallpaper stays. If I select a wallpaper set thru LWP+, custom colors stick but the wallpaper doesn't stick for a long time... is there something I'm doing wrong? Please advise. Thanks.
