Let's get back to talking about free cell phone wallpapers after introducing you to the beautiful Mysplash. Mysplash, we remind you, is an exceptional app that takes the (stunning) images directly from the free site Unsplash and allows you to use them as wallpapers for your cell phone. Today instead we'll talk about art and of Muzei.
As you can imagine Muzei And a free app and Open source which will give you wonderful animated wallpapers on your mobile phone. Thanks to this app in fact you can set beautiful paintings taken from the gigantic free archive WikiArt.
This is a truly complete application that will allow you to set any type of background, even customized, with nice effects like the blur to prevent the background from being too “in the foreground” and annoying. All you have to do is do it double tap in the home page of your smartphone to be able to see the unblurred image. Even if you are not passionate about art, therefore, you can choose any of your photographs as a background!
Several sources for Muzei
But that is not all. With Muzei in fact you can also use other sources from which to take photos, including Mysplash! You will also find the source, already pre-installed, with the beautiful daily photos of National Geographic. In theory being the Muzei API open anyone could provide a source for their wallpapers. In fact, until some time ago you could also use the beautiful wallpapers of Studio Ghibli or those of Bing daily photo. To date, however, it seems to us that the only ones that work are those of National Geographic, Of Mysplash and paintings.
A new application Open source 1 to be used together with Muzei is called Earth View for Muzei which allows you to use beautiful satellite images from Google Earth View as a background.
You can also set a timer to automatically change the wallpaper. It can be set every 15, 30 minutes or every hour. Obviously you can also decide to change it once a day or you can also disable auto-rotation and leave what you like best. However, this continuous rotation function does not seem to work for art photos where the photo is only changed daily. In short, despite some small shortcomings, Muzei is truly a complete app which fully satisfies us.
The version above F-Droid it is not the official one as it is not reported on the their site nor on theirs Repositories. However, it seemed to work in the same way, we didn't find any differences. Indeed, in the Play Store version there are a couple of tracers of Google than in that of F-Droid they are missing!
We have deleted the version of F-Droid because it hasn't been updated for many months and doesn't work properly. If it works again we will report it again. However, the suggestion of this application remains valid as Muzei And Open source and the version on the Play Store contains only tracers of statistics 2.
