The good thing about having an Android smartphone or tablet is that you can personalize every nook and cranny imaginable. For those who don’t want to mess around with rooting, modding andcustom ROMs, you can easily install free apps from the Google Play Store to change your wallpapers, ringtones and other awesome things. Here are the apps that we like for giving your smartphone a new personal touch.
mobile9
mobile9 is the bread and butter of ''wallpaper, ringtones and more'' apps and it just received a nice update bringing a new UI, content feed and other nice additions to the overall user experience. The app supplies themes for all the most common launchers, like Go Launcher and Apex, wallpapers (HD and live ones), ringtones to use for the various noises on your Android, videos to stay entertained, special occasion messages to send to your friends and chat stickers for when you get bored of the normal ones!
Zedge
Again, this is a behemoth of an app, providing a huge array of various wallpapers, both HD and live options, as well as ringtones. There are over 300 million different ones, so you won’t have to use the same ones twice. Ringtones can be set for individual contacts, and wallpapers are optimized to match your screen size. It also comes with a widget in which you plop all of your games in one organized and customizable area.
PolyFauna
Now from super massive databases of wallpapers, we are shrinking the scope down to bring you one very unique and weirdly beautiful app which was made in collaboration with the band Radiohead and Universal Everything. The images you see on the wallpaper are ones that come from the music video Bloom by the band. The live and interactive wallpaper plunges you into a new surreal world that is certainly really unique.
Mountains Now Free Wallpaper
This is another artsy-fartsy live wallpaper that screams serenity now. Basically, it takes after the Google Now mountain theme where you watch boats travel along the river in front of some mountains. Using the gyroscope, the wallpaper puts to use the 3D parallax effect, which makes various parts of an image on one screen move at different speeds to create an interesting optical effect, a common Google design trait. The app is supported on tablets as well.
Dragon Strike FREE Wallpaper
Finally, the tiny nerd inside me made me add this to the list. Dragon Strike FREE Wallpaper, might use a lot of your battery, but for such cool imagery, it’s nice to have it on your phone for a while, even if it means charging more often. The virtual dragons move around at random, they attack castles and have varying powers per breed. The dragon battles happen when you least expect it, so there’s always a surprise around the corner. This all happens in both portrait and landscape mode, switching automatically to follow the action, depending on the orientation of your phone. There’s also background battle music or natural sounds.
If you can suggest an equally cool life wallpaper or source, then please do so in the comments below!
