Straight-forward, cruft-free editor lets you focus completely on shader code while providing an accessible view to results in the background. Huge benefit to be able to use the results as live wallpaper. Totally free and ad-free.

The Best Live Wallpapers for Android

Animated and even interactive backgrounds are available by default in stock Android and most Android-based systems. The feature can really help liven up a phone's display with modern graphics but is also great for older devices that now function as clocks. Unfortunately, countless static wallpaper apps claiming to be live wallpapers have created confusion so many people aren't aware of the more dynamic offerings. On top of that, Google's Play Store is sprawling with ad-laden, spammy apps that make it tedious to find good content and this definitely applies to live wallpapers. This list takes a look at some of the very best live wallpaper apps with a special focus on app developers seeking to provide a great experience for those using their apps. Apps in this list are made by developers with other great apps, or those who really stand out for the few they've poured their heart into.
