Hextile live wallpaper
To-do list:
* Self-illumination in edge shading mode.
* Periodic animations.
* (building on periodic animations) daydream support.
* Look again at scrolling. It looks hard to do correctly on some Launchers (Samsung Touchwiz, HTC). Some other wallpapers emulate it, but don't work for direct page selection.
Version history:v1.0: initial release.v1.1: configurable colours.v1.2: correct black background when freshly installed (config problem).v1.3: implement more suggestions and fix bugs: lockscreen rotation fixed, allow disabling of highlights and shading, center tile layout, fix colours on older devices.v1.4: implement another suggestion: option to colour only gaps between tiles. also fix slight height padding layout problem.v1.5: implement another suggestion: option to scroll with homescreen position. This will only work on devices with launchers which support scrolling wallpapers (notably, not Samsung TouchWiz).v1.6: back out scrolling support. it might return in the future, but for now it was a little under baked.v1.7: correct crash in touch handling at same time as screen rotation.

At 1st, I was just whelmed, (not over or under)… but it made the "all-in" cut for all my test devices, because it's small (space & active memory), has no ads (that I've seen), & no permission risks. It looks good and has an effect on touch, which looks cool & offers visual feedback to confirm that I didn't just freeze the phone with whatever odd thing I tried. I eventually found the others too gawdy, once the novelty wore off, but not this one… it's a tasteful design & effect that stand the test of time.
Works well on my Asus ZenFone 2 Laser. I have vision problems, so I look for darker wallpapers that aren't too "busy". The default colors are perfect for me, yet I can fiddle with alternate color schemes if I tire of the default. Thank you so much.
A really nice live interactive wallpaper that allows color customization. Never had any issues. Running it on a samsung note 8.0
I set my background to white and my hexes to off-white and realized something: You should add a "round things" setting to the options which puts a circular "background" section inside each hex. It'd become a perfect classic Doctor Who TARDIS wallpaper!
No app, downloaded and all it did was wipe my old wallpaper.
It makes the apps lag/skip when switching from page to page on main screen. Bad enough that is annoying. Please fix
It's beautiful and kinda fun to mess around with. However I think it would be better if the tiles shrunk as well as change color
Colorful and innovative - but it heats up devices quickly uses battery more as it runs in the background too. Please add an option to switch Running in the Background on and off.
Nice live wallpaper but it totally slowed my phone down so I switched to a nonlive wallpaper to see if that was really the problem and it was. Really like this wallpaper too 😞
this live wallpaper is just fantastic! I've been searching for something this good for so long and here it is! Highly highly recommended. Best live wp out there, by a landslide
Only reason I didn't give 5stars- bug where if you have pure black hexs and a grey underlayer, it doesn't load the grey at all when using the spaced out version
Even after downloading this app I'm not able to load it... it shows in the phone setting that it has been downloaded but cant see tha app icon.. nor i can start it
I really enjoy this wallpaper, as you can fool around with it when you're bored or just show it off with your friends haha!
The amount of different effects seem endless and are so much fun to discover! I can't stop playing with this wallpaper, between swiping across pages or changing out colors!! A good template to experiment with for tile/grout designs when designing your backsplash or stone patio!!
Very nicely made. I usually set the base color and background color to black so that tiles appear only when the screen is touched and looks really cool. Could be even better if there is a Glow setting for tile borders.
Powerful customization, just recommend a way to save user settings to a theme. That would make it the best!
I have had Android for a long time and this is one of the best live wallpapers i have ever used. Well done.
On my Huawei P 9 it doesnt show a icon of this app so I couldn't set it as my homescreen. Please fix that sounds like a really cool app
This app is awesome. I set it up to look like my desktop wallpaper. However the app goes greyscale whenever I restart and I have to go to the settlings of the app to change it back... Please patch.
This is the most stuiped thing ever because it won't open for me
Of all the free hextile live wallpaper apps this is hands down the best and moat customisable.
I like changing my wallpapers frequently, but it seems that I got stuck with this one for a long time. Like it a lot! Try and see for youself
I downloaded it and its not on my home screen so i don't know how to use it
This is the coolest wallpaper ever! I love it and never get tired of it because you can change the way the colors are as you touch it and move your fingers across. Very, very nice! thanks so much for the freebie!
I don't usually use live wallpapers because they tend to drain the battery faster, but this wallpaper - Due to not having "automatic" effects (I.e only reacts to the touch) it doesn't drain the battery and doesn't make my phone lag. Very nice!
Just installed and using very well on S6. It would be great if you could add option that the color from your touch matching the battery level color. Hope it will have from later update!
I love this wallpaper. Its my favorite live one. Thanks for making it and keep up the good work!
You can get a nice variety of effects with the settings, including a very sleek and modern "flat" look. It's just unfortunate you only get color when you touch the screen. It really needs a setting to simulate touches and disperse color automatically.
