Hey guys,
Is there any chance we can make live wallpapers from Pixel 3 work normally on Pixel 2 XL? i am talking about flickering on AOD in low brightness. Don't take me wrong, I don't necessarily need that cool image effect on AOD but I need AOD and I need new wallpapers, because they are so amazing I mean, is there any way to change something in APK? I know that Google probably won't release it officially because Pixel never got Pixel 2 wallpapers.. It would be so amazing if someone get it to work without flickering.
I had to ask it because I haven't found answer for it nowhere. If this thread need to be in other subforum, moderators please move it (i wasn't sure where to put it).
Download apk from here and on the bottom of wallpaper app you will have new options to select wallpapers from Pixel 3.

I have that and it's flickering on AOD. I am talking about specific problem on 2Xl that everyone has, not about ported app.
Another problem with that port is that even if you select dark theme, app drawer is still white. And yes, animation transition between AOD and lockscreen is not working.

Hey guys,
Was wondering if any of you know how i can get a full screen wallpaper for my Z2, since i tried the app Wizard (weird name after) and now im using Wallpaper setter.
Wizard did not work and wallpaper setter, at it's best cuts the notification bar and half the buttons of the dock.
Tried googling 1080x1776 wallpapers instead of 1080x1920 too, to no better result.
Wanted to change, since the stock wallpapers make for a crappy homescreen, since it is already a washedout screen (i come from a note 3, so probably it's just my opinion).
P.S. Was wondering if you can use any method to not crop the images on lockscreen too
Thank you
I use this to crop them perfectly. Even gallery images, just use this to set wallpaper.

google play said : We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server
i use image2wallpaper or image2livewallpaper
You can try Background HD Wallpapers app from pkaystore.. Its one of the perfect one available. Screenshots attached.
Hi all,
I'm new to the XDA Forums, so if I'm inadvertently breaking rules or if this question has already been asked elsewhere, please guide me! With that disclaimer out of the way, here goes my query:
I'm using Nova (Free Version, but planning to buy Prime soon) on my Redmi Note 4, which is not rooted mainly because I don't want to mess around with things I don't understand and brick my phone.
Redmi phones obviously come with their proprietary MIUI 8 OS. While I like a lot of things about it, I find some of its inflexibility annoying.
I've been using Nova because I like its features and I got a really cool icon pack. But what's annoying me is that if I use a light-coloured wallpaper, the notification bar icons remain white even if I select "Dark Icons" from the Nova options.
I have a feeling this is only an issue on MIUI 8. Has anyone else faced this?
If yes, what was the remedy that worked for you?
For reference, here are the screenshots of the default MIUI launcher (notice the dark notification bar icons) and the Nova launcher home page with the same wallpaper. Since I'm a new user and I can't post external hyperlinks, here's the URL in code:

Sorry I just noticed that I posted this in the wrong forum by mistake!
Mods: Request you to please move this thread to the right forum!
For those who are facing something similar, updating MIUI to the latest version took care of this. I have no idea what the issue was, though.
Has anyone else tried out the Pixel 2 Launcher on the SD S9+. I am using it now and it works perfectly. I must say that I'm not sure it's really better than the Samsung Experience Launcher. Is using the Pixel 2 Launcher an advantage in any way that someone may know of? Does it work better with Google. I do like that I now have the Google Now screen when swiping right from my home screen instead of Bixby. Is there any other awesomeness that I'm not seeing or simply don't know about?

You can use your custom icons and also use pixel wallpapers, that's about it

Thanks!

It might sound silly but I actually one of those guys who pay attention to small details in making my experience using this budget phone feels like extraordinary. Some icons on the notification bar are just dull like the battery icon. The looks is just not for me especially after looking the one in iPhone 11. My main goal for now is just to change that alone, but if there's an app that offers more customization for other icons, I will gladly take them. I tried googling it and found about Xposed framework. I tried downloading the apk and installed it. It says that it needs framework or something like that. I uninstalled it and go to Magisk and try to download it from there from the Modules tab. I found it and tried to install it. It gave me an error. Tried it three times. Apparently it's not going to work on Android other than from 5.0 to 8. Now I don't know where else to look since that one was the only one looking promising.
There used to be beautiful themes for POCO when it was on MIUI 10. For example I used to use one called PixPie Dark. It gave me new battery icon, lock screen animations, new navigation bar etc.
Now that we are on MIUI 11 the old themes are not compatible. And newer ones have not been made (yet) which have all the customizations.
I absolutely hate the MIUI 11 default icons. They look outdated.
Anyway here's my desktop setup.
Full stock MIUI 11

Nice....
Does the wallpaper change as per time?
What theme is it? And what's the battery please?

No, I'm sorry the wallpaper doesn't change according to time. It's just a wallpaper I selected from the MIUI gallery.
Theme is stock Poco theme with Nova Launcher Prime (Paid) and icon pack is Thin Icon Pack (Paid).

I've rooted my phone and installed custom ROM (Pixel Exp). I don't have access to MIUI theme (not that I even want to because it will not allow you to use third party theme. I wonder if there's a third party app that will allow me to change the notification bar especially the battery icon. I tried Xposed framework but it didn't work because it is not compatible with Android 8.0 above.
