About this app

Muzei is a live wallpaper that gently refreshes your home screen each day with famous works of art. It also recedes into the background, blurring and dimming artwork to keep your icons and widgets in the spotlight. Simply double touch the wallpaper or open the Muzei app to enjoy and explore the artwork in its full glory.

Alternatively, you can choose your favorite photos from your own gallery or other apps to use on your home screen. To keep your wallpaper fresh, Muzei will rotate through your favorite photos every few hours.

Finally, Muzei is developer-friendly. All the code is available at http://code.muzei.co and Muzei even offers a simple API that allows you to build your own wallpaper source. For API details, visit http://api.muzei.co.

If you use a third party Legacy Source, you must disable Battery Optimizations on that app to allow it to continue to load artwork. See https://medium.com/muzei/muzei-3-0-and-legacy-sources-8261979e2264 for more details.

Made by Roman Nurik and Ian Lake, along with contributions from many in the Android community. Muzei is a transliteration of the Russian word музей, which means “museum.”

Featured artwork in Muzei is curated daily by our small staff and made possible thanks to WikiArt.org and its contributors.

Uninstalling because you don't seem to have any control of the positioning of the photo? essentially rendering this app useless for me and I'm sure several other people. even if you crop the image to fit your screen perfectly, the app still displays it off center. seems like a huge oversight, a wallpaper app that doesn't let me adjust position?

Muzei always centers the image in the space your launcher app chooses as per our FAQ: https://github.com/muzei/muzei/discussions/711 You should be complaining about your launcher, not Muzei. Launchers like Nova Launcher or Action Launcher work exactly how you expect your launcher to work. Please reach out to us at support@muzei.co for more info

Great app but it lacks some functionality that I would really love to see in it: - Adjust the part of the photo you want to be on your wallpaper. Their support says after you close their app, your wallpaper is controlled by your launcher. Fair, but can't you cut the photo inside your app and apply it to the wallpaper? I don't think it's something extraordinarily difficult. Oh and the wallpaper is changed at some random time of the day - you can't really set at what time.

As explained in our FAQ, once Muzei closes, it is your launcher that controls the positioning, not Muzei: https://github.com/muzei/muzei/discussions/711 The launcher tells Muzei what size to use and Muzei follows that, we cannot cut it any more than what the launcher says it needs. The Auto Advance settings allow you to use Tasker for exact times

The app is awesome when it works. A few times while using this app for just over a year or so as my main wallpaper method. The app just dies and can not be opened for a few days up to a week, and then it goes back to working again. I'm not sure what is causing it to happen, but uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't fix it and only waiting til it magically starts working again is what works...frustrating for sure *Edit sent an email to dev, hoping to help with the issue
