With the MWC 2014 approaching to its end, we already have a bunch of upcoming Android smartphones already launched. The event had been very lucky for Sony last year because the Xperia Z succeeded to bring its maker back to competition. The company has again launched some of its new devices at MWC and the Xperia Z2 is one of them. Sony’s new flagship will take some time before it is available to customers but if you want to play with some goodies from the new smartphone, you can at least enjoy the Xperia Z2 live wallpaper on your Android device right now.
The live wallpaper from the Sony Xperia Z2 has leaked and can be downloaded from our link below. The Z2 live wallpaper is very simple yet elegant. It displays the same old illustrative abstract pattern on your device in different colors. Usually, live wallpapers show animation by default but this one remains static until you slide your fingers on the screen or scroll the homescreen.
The live wallpaper keeps changing its color, but again not automatically. The color change has seven variations that appear in the following sequence: Purple> Pink> Red> Orange> Yellow> Green>Blue. To change the colors, you will have to swipe around the home screens. The faster you swipe the screens, the faster is the transition.
Requirements:
The Sony Xperia Z2 live wallpaper app requires root access but it can also be installed on devices without root. Also, your device must be running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean or above. I tested it on Nexus 5 (stock rooted), HTC One (CM11), Xperia Z1 (stock rooted), and Galaxy Note 3. The live wallpaper worked fine on all devices, but on Note 3, it showed only the colorful background without patterns.
