If you're interested in trying out the new live wallpapers from the Google Pixel 4 on your own device, you can download the modified APK from the link below. The instructions on how to get it working can be found here. Update 9/29/19 5:25 PM ET: The developer has figured out how to get the unique features working for the "Compass," "Doodle," and "Sights from the sun" live wallpapers. Lastly, the live wallpapers that were unlocked may not reflect the entire set of live wallpapers on retail units, though we're getting close to the launch date so we won't have to wait long to find out.


Furthermore, the unique features for some of the wallpapers, like setting the planet for "Sights from the sun" or the color for "Doodle," require integration with the Pixel Themes app and hence haven't been fully ported. That means the live wallpapers in the modified APK won't react to changes in the system theme, but Pandey said he'll try to make a separate version with this behavior intact for supported Android versions. To get the Pixel 4 live wallpaper port working on older Android versions, Pandey said he had to disable the WallpaperColors API that's responsible for this behavior. What's interesting about a lot of these live wallpapers is that they support the system-wide dark mode toggle in Android 10, but of course, there's no dark mode toggle if you aren't on Android 10 or Android 9-based One UI. The live wallpapers that are currently available in the APK.
