About LWP+ - live wallpaper with customized colors
WARNING: This app was intended mostly for Android 8.1 on Vanilla like ROMs (such as on Pixel, Nexus and Android One devices). It might not affect the OS on other cases, depending on the OS itself. Nothing can be done about it.
Starting from Android 8.1, when you set a wallpaper, the OS might change its colors based on it.
Sometimes what you get might not be what you'd wish to have.
This is why I've made this tiny live wallpaper app.
The app allows you to manually set which colors you'd like to request the OS to use.
This means that even if you have a relatively white background, you can still (if the OS allows it) have a dark themed notification drawer or other UI components, based on what the OS decides.
Features :
1. Ability to choose which photo to have as a background, and a color behind it.
2. Ability to have a double-tap-to-lock device (requires admin privilege or rooted device).
3. Ability to choose which colors to request from the OS. Note that each color meaning depends on the OS alone.
4. Ability to show GIF animation (experimental).
Notes:
- This is a live wallpaper app. It means you can't use another live wallpaper app that shows its content, within it. Only one live wallpaper app can be active. This is how Android works. I can't do anything about it.
What you can do is have a normal wallpaper for the lock screen while using this app for the home screen.
- The app allows to use either admin privilege or accessibility to lock the screen using a gesture of double tap.

User reviews
It's nice for setting uncompressed wallpapers, but lacks support for certain animations and doesn't show immediately after a reboot. However, these are Android limitations, not the fault of the app.
Not bad
This app is amazing! It solved the notification scroll wallpaper zoom on android 11!! Well done thank you so much!!
Did what I expected and I got it working in less than 5 minutes from downloading
This app does not work on my phone but I am still glad that they do not have any forced adds plus I know that it is up to my os to let it work or not so it's not this app's problem but of my os. Thank you.
The app is wonderful and functions perfectly, and the developer is a very nice person and actually cares about the app.
