About Muzei Live Wallpaper

Muzei is a live wallpaper that gently refreshes your home screen each day with famous works of art. It also recedes into the background, blurring and dimming artwork to keep your icons and widgets in the spotlight. Simply double touch the wallpaper or open the Muzei app to enjoy and explore the artwork in its full glory.

Alternatively, you can choose your favorite photos from your own gallery or other apps to use on your home screen. To keep your wallpaper fresh, Muzei will rotate through your favorite photos every few hours.

Finally, Muzei is developer-friendly. All the code is available at http://code.muzei.co and Muzei even offers a simple API that allows you to build your own wallpaper source. For API details, visit http://api.muzei.co.

If you use a third party wallpaper source, you must disable Battery Optimizations on that app to allow it to continue to load artwork. An updated API is in development to remove this requirement.

·····

Muzei now includes a watch face for Android Wear, so you can see your latest wallpaper right on your wrist!

·····

Made in New York by Roman Nurik. Muzei is a transliteration of the Russian word музей, which means “museum.”

Featured artwork in Muzei is curated daily by our small staff and made possible thanks to WikiArt.org and its contributors.

Many thanks to Ian Lake for the watch face, and the many other contributors that help make Muzei possible.

Any idea on how to display my pictures that I had on my previous phone that looked fantastic with this app on a 18:9 screen (LG V30)? Same images look different on this phone, it has a blown out (zoomed in) look to the wallpaper. I want to keep my original images for wallpaper. Any suggestions?

An awesome app idea, with very good execution. But on my lg wear, the images are forced to fit the screen when i use them as backgrounds on factory included watch faces, making them appear cramped.

Needs clock hands on Android wear, and also complication support

I've been looking for an app such as this for a long time. Great app to. For five stars I would like to see 1) possibility to center other spots in images and 2) possibility to select a folder, 3) easier scrolling of folders (can't fast scroll through thousands of images on a SGS7). Edit: well, then you get 4,33 stars ;-)

I wish that the dim slider also allowed for lightening photos, I like my background washed out. App design is beautiful but not functional, was lost looking for advanced options. Another feature missing from other wallpaper changers is the ability to say you don't want to see a wallpaper anymore, which is quicker than going into an app and deleting a wallpaper from my library. Location based wallpapers would be nice too.

Love Muzei but I can't use it anymore. MOST paintings are NOT PROPERLY CROPPED. They have white edges on top and bottom which makes the wallpaper look unappealing. Either give us an option to zoom into the painting a bit and keep it that way or just recrop the bunch. Forces me to get rid of the wallpaper every time.

Great. I love it. But I need more. When I installed this app in 2015, the pictures of gallery were autosaved to my phone. I was so excited. After that, my phone was out of memory, so I had to uninstalled it. Now, I installed it again. I'm still excited with popular gallery, but the pictures ARE NOT AUTOSAVED as two years ago. I'm sad. Please, how can I setting for the pictures can be autosaved to my phone? Thanks

X70%
by X####:

Settings is way too cumbersome. Why can't I set a wallpaper for homescreen and then a separate one for lockscreen? Why can't I adjust the image to show what I want instead of it defaulting to showing the middle of the image I selected...?

S70%
by S####:

Of all the apps I have on my phone, this has come to be the worst app and by the quality of work done so far, I'd recommend hiring an intern as the first step, if not a programmer. If you switch between WiFi and mobile networks, good luck getting a new wallpaper. I don't know if it caches the object or the result of the fetch operation, but hopeless. Good intention, amateur execution.

Great idea. Good list of apps that connect to it. But it stops changing wallpapers after a few times. Plus battery drain was 15% of my total. That's excluding the reddit photo app that took another 7%. Ain't nobody got battery for dat.

by R####:

Not a bad app, love the concept but none of the extensions work so it's stock muzei or nothing. Real shame cause this paired with s Reddit app it absolutely awesome but neither work anymore.

I used this as my wallpaper for over a year. It kept my background rotating, fresh and beautiful. Recently it's been crashing and sending me back to the phone's default screen. I upgraded to a new phone and it still shuts down. Please fix the crashing.

Can you make it have the option to adjust wallpaper position? Now, it automatically zoom my wallpapers making it uneven. I can't make my wallpapers center and it's mildly infuriating.

R70%
by R####:

It becomes unresponsive whenever I open it. It used to work though. I'm using the folder method.

R70%
by R####:

Great app used it for a while now, however I recently switched to a static wallpaper with my intention being to use the widget included to get a little snapshot of the art each day. Unfortunately the widget just displays the same piece of art each day and when clicked I get no information about the artwork. Any chance you could update the app to fix this?

P70%
by P####:

The app is great except it just doesn't update automatically for me. Set to update every hour. Frustrating.

Z70%
by Z####:

1. No setting to set wallpapers on both or separately lockscreen+homescreen. 2. Minimum time is 1 hour, why not in minutes? Like i need 30mins or so. 3. Response is slow (blur,....,grey). 4. No adjustments for wallpapers according to screen size (needed in some wallpaper which are not sized for android device and rather they are in landscape mode or pc type) Fix all these 4 and it will be shine like 5 stars. Thanks.

C70%

I love this app but ever since I got a pixel it isn't reliable. It'll work for a little bit after a reboot but then it won't refresh to a new wallpaper. It just stays on the same one for days on end

This, coupled with the Backdrops wallpaper app is to be my favorite wallpaper widget! But it stopped working with Backdrops as soon as I updated to Oreo.

Great but plz give a featureto center the wallpapers manuly everytime the wallpaper is littlebit left it annoys me i have to search for another wallpaer app plz fix it

Great app and I love the Bing Wallpapers but having an option to force the change straight away would be good as often the pictures don't change for a few days despite their being new ones on bing.

R70%
by R####:

Used to work perfectly but now it won't change backgrounds even when I try to scroll through manually or change sources. Will go back to a 5 star rating when this is fixed

Hello. Apparently the Samsung s7 and s8 blur your wallpaper by default. No setting on phone can change this

Tasty wallpapers. Devs: everytime I set a wallpaper, the preview shows it centered but in the launcher it is always horizontally offset any way to fix this? Have tried on multiple launchers. Seems to expect a scroll but I only ever have one homescreen pane.

D70%
by D####:

Ok but what the hell?! The app stopped working after the latest couple of updates, it doesn't change the wallpaper everyday anymore. It fixates on one painting forever until I uninstall it and install it again or restart my phone. It's been around 2 months on this state. Please fix it

For those having the problem where it gets stuck on an image. Try having only one selection, like just one subreddit selected.

App crashes when applying wallpaper. Doesn't work

G70%
by G####:

I am not sure how to make my wallpaper clear. It's always blurred. Can you guys help?

R70%
by R####:

Can you introduce cropping and adjusting? It auto adjusts to the left of the image and that's not where the good stuff is...

Extremely laggy after the update to Android Oreo. Nexus 6P (both on stock launcher and Nova).

Stops working on pixel, whenever I click activate the app goes black and freezes.

Y70%
by Y####:

When connecting with the Pixiv version using my account, it doesn't let me log in for some odd reason. I type my info, clicked ok, and nothing happened. I enjoy the whole idea of this app, but I'm disappointed because I really want my Pixiv collection only.

P70%
by P####:

Doesn't support wallpaper source apps targeting Android 8.0 Oreo. Can still run it on an Oreo device, though, with the default art sources. Seems very good otherwise.

R70%
by R####:

I have been using this for a long time and have grown very fond of it.

B70%
by B####:

The wallpaper didn't change on 8.0.0. Countless reboots and force stops did not help.

S70%
by S####:

Great app but often gets stuck on 1 wallpaper which won't change unless sources are swapped back and forth for a sort of soft "reset"

R70%
by R####:

Great app, but crash at least 4 per day on Android 7

R70%
by R####:

Great work.it would be even better if you can manually go to next photo in queue by triple finger pressing like 500 firepaper

G70%
by G####:

Pretty dope app, I love the daily switch...... can you program the app to rotate the art when it's too long for the screen

Worst app I ever experienced in my life
