Doodle: Live Wallpapers

Patrick Zedler

About this app

Doodle is an open-source app that provides colorful live wallpapers with auto dark mode and power-efficient animations.
The wallpapers are based on the original Doodle live wallpaper collection of the Google Pixel 4 and the unreleased Material You wallpaper collection of the Pixel 6, extended with additional wallpapers from Chrome OS.
The app is not just a copy of the original wallpapers, it's a complete rewrite without the permanent animations to save battery and storage space. In addition, there are many customization options to match your preferences.

Features:
• Stunning wallpaper designs and Pixel feeling
• System dependent dark mode
• Power-efficient parallax effect on page swipe or when tilting the device
• Optional zoom effects
• Direct boot support (immediately active after device restart)
• No ads and no analytics
• 100% open-source

Advantages over original Pixel 4 live wallpapers:
• Permanent animations (when tilting the device) are optional
• Support for Android 12 color extraction
• Exclusive "Material You" live wallpapers
• No battery-hungry 3D engine
• Improved text contrast (dark text for light themes instead of white text with shadow)
• Many additional customization options
• Rendering works well even on less powerful devices (very efficient rendering engine)
• Also suitable for larger devices like tablets (scaling option available)
• Tiny installation size

Ratings and reviews

Simple and easy to use. Takes some finnessing to get the settings how you like but its fun for me to see what works. Not a lot of options for the wallpapers themselves but i find with fewer options theres less decisions fatigue. Theyre modern and minimal which is my preference. The interface is very clean, clearly made with love. Great app!

This is such a great app, having a great time. (Edited : The only problem I have with it is when I change the random wallpaper setting to change every power off, the lock screen zoom affect doesn't work. It fixes easily when you change it to any other setting.) 5 star rating :DD

This is crazy good, Not even gonna lie. The wallpapers are absolutely amazing but are a bit limited in quantity, and I saw it hasn't had an update since 2022 (hope the project isn't dead) though it still works flawlessly. ( running it on Moto g stylus 2024) it's fluid, pleasing. And animations works everytime. Surprisingly pleased with this app. (Update in response to dev: Understandable, also love how it's not infected with adds, plz never change that 😅id love to have a premium option though
