How to Create your own 3D live wallpaper on Android

If you have been using your Android phone for some time you have probably had hundreds of pictures as wallpapers at some point, all plain pictures maybe from the person you love or just a cool background of a beach house somewhere in the Bahamas, but why not create your own original 3D live parallax wallpaper that moves when you move your phone? Here is how you can do just that:

  1. Download the “Depth Photo 3D live wallpaper” app on the Google Play Store
  2. Take a picture or choose one from your library
  3. Once in the settings tab of the app, adjust the movement speed and sensitivity
  4. We recommend you choose “Gyro” as Movement Style
  5. Save the picture and set it as your background
  6. Voila!

Tip: The app is available for free but has ads, if you want to remove them navigate to the “About” dialog and tap the LibGDX logo 5 times. Here is a GIF demonstrating what you can accomplish with the app:
