Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Insane Holographic AND Transparent Wallpapers for Android!”.
This video was sponsored by Squarespace today we’re talking about some really interesting. At the same time, very unusual Android wallpapers ever get stay till the end, because, in my opinion, it gets better and better. Let’S get started. The first app is, live wallpaper loops, a pretty gigantic selection of these looping clips. Now these aren’t quite photos but at the same time, they’re not quite videos, either they’re kind of like photos in which part of the image is animated, and this adds a little bit of a pop a little bit of a subtle nuance. That basically makes everyone who looks at it take a second glance now these aren’t exactly the highest resolution clips out there, but compared to playing a fully fledged video file. It’S gon na save a lot more battery. The second app I really wanted to talk about is called chameleon and as soon as you open the application, you get two options. You can either pick a wallpaper based off Android, lollipop or one based off marshmallow, which granted is not the latest and greatest, but what it can do still is, nonetheless, pretty cool. So from the app you open up your camera and you can take a photo of anything you want to and the application transforms that photo into an appropriate wallpaper. It’S a pretty cool concept.
It is a bit of a shame that you have to open the application. Then take a photo every time you want to update it and it doesn’t do it automatically, depending on your background, but nonetheless I think it’s a really cool idea and I have found a little bit of use for it say. For example, you are strolling along the streets at night and you catch this incredible. Looking sunset, you simply take a photo of it and you’ll see these beautiful reds and blues of the night sky kind of integrated in your homescreen.
The next step is called 3d wallpaper. Parallax – and that sounds awfully similar to 3d parallax wallpaper that we tested quite a while ago on this channel. Essentially, there are a lot of apps that do this, but this is by far the most extensive one. I’Ve seen it has a vast selection of wallpapers and each these wallpapers has up to five different layers when you download and install the wallpapers, and you move your phone around, these layers move at slightly different speeds, which gives the illusion of depth and to be honest In terms of the reaction you get when you let someone try this, this one probably has the best response.
The app has just about every single type of wallpaper. It’S got nature, it’s got abstract team got ones inspired by one plus and whilst they’re, not all full. Hd resolution, the ones that are do look really good in motion now. The fourth one is a really curious one: it’s called transparent screen and there are a lot of applications that sort of attempt to do what this one is doing, but this is the best one. I found that works at the highest resolution and without too many ads. What it does is use the phone’s rear camera to simulate the phone that is completely transparent and, to be honest again like with the first application.
We share it every time someone sees this, they pretty much have to double take. It is a really impressive feature and it works just as advertised clearly because it’s always keeping the camera open. In the background. This thing is fairly intensive on your battery, but if you have a phone which has got loads to spare or you always carry around a power brick, then it’s a bit less of a problem now the next one is pretty much a polar opposite of that.
This is loop wall and it relies on gifts or gifs or whatever you want to call them. The reason for that is because it’s very battery, saving gifts or gifs are nothing more than moving images and therefore, whilst they don’t have the highest resolution and they’re, not quite as fluid as videos, these are a pretty unique rustic look of their own. The next one is probably the most intelligent one on the list. It’S called smart wallpaper and, whilst to the untrained eye, it looks like a standard static wallpaper. It changes according to your conditions, so this could be your weather conditions.
This could be the time of day. The day the week, the month or it could even be witch Wi-Fi network you’re connected to and this live wallpaper is a little bit less about being dynamic and more about just keeping your phone. Interesting could imagine every time you unlock your screen.
You’Ve got a different wallpaper on there. It manages to do this without any noticeable battery drain at all, compared to a standard. Stop wallpaper for those of you who liked the idea of these parallax wallpapers, but who didn’t like the fact that they were quite limited in terms of resolution.
There is zero. Now zero is an early access application, so it’s not quite finished yet, and it’s also a little bit on the premium side. So if you really want to get the full feature set, you kind of have to invest a bit in it. But in terms of the end quality of the wallpapers, you get it’s pretty much unrivaled, they are super sharp. The motion is super well tracked, and the depth effect they create is very realistic.
