Your phone screen is boring. Let's make it undead.
Tired of static backgrounds? UndeadWallpaper is a free, balls-to-the-wall Android app that brings your screen to life... or, well, un-death by letting you slap any of your favorite videos on it as a seamless, stutter-free live wallpaper.
This isn't just a clever pun on "live" wallpaper. The name UndeadWallpaper is personal. After a long, forced hiatus from coding, this project was the first sign of life... the moment a passion that was buried came clawing its way back to the surface. This app isn't just "live"; it's a symbol of a creator coming back from the dead. It's undead, because some things are just too stubborn to die.
- The New Engine (OpenGL Power): We ripped out the old guts and replaced them with a custom OpenGL pipeline. It's smoother, faster, and lets you do things standard Android wallpapers can't.
- God-Mode Controls: Don't just set a video; own it. Scale, stretch, zoom, rotate, and position your wallpaper exactly how you want it. Too dark? Crank the brightness. It's your screen, do what you want.
- One-Shot Mode: Want a "Live Photo" vibe? Set your video to play once and freeze on the final frame. Perfect for cinematic intros.
- Zombillie is Here: Fresh install? We got you covered with a default Zombillie animation so your screen isn't naked while you look for your own clips.
- Buttery-Smooth Looping: Powered by ExoPlayer, your video loops will be so seamless, you'll forget where they even begin (o˘◡˘o).
- Unleash Your Own Videos: No pre-packaged crap. Grab any video straight from your phone's storage and make it your backdrop.
- Quick-Draw Recents: A handy list of your last-used videos, so you can swap vibes on the fly.
- Audio On/Off Toggle: Want your wallpaper to make some noise? Flip the switch. Want silent beauty? We got you.
- 100% Free & Open Source: No ads, no bullshit, no microtransactions. Ever. This is a passion project, and the code is open for all you brilliant weirdos to see.
- Pick Your Poison: Tap the "Pick Video" button and choose your masterpiece.
- Tweak It: Use the new advanced settings to fit, fill, or stretch your video. Zoom in, move it around, make it perfect.
- Smash the Button: Like what you see in the preview? Hit that floating button and bring your screen to glorious un-life.
This project clawed its way back from the dead, but it was the community that truly gave it a soul. The launch on Reddit was a whirlwind of incredible feedback, brilliant ideas, and amazing support. It's where the next chapter of this story is being written.
