Doodle Android – Live Wallpapers à la Pixel 4

License: GPL v3 Release APK Downloads IzzyOnDroid

Doodle Android is an open-source Android 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. Additionally there is an exclusive "Material You"-inspired live wallpaper included.
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.

Compatibility

Doodle Android requires at least Android 6 Marshmallow on your device. The app will work properly on devices without any Google service installed.

You need to turn on background scrolling in your launcher's settings if you have disabled it before to make parallax effect work without the tilt effect enabled. Some launchers don't support background scrolling at all, like Samsung's TouchWiz. As a solution, please try installing another launcher.
