Download the new Eclipse Live Wallpaper from Google Pixel 4a on any device

The new Google Pixel 4a should reach the hands of consumers who pre-order the phone next week, so there should be no surprises left for us to discover. However, there was one small discovery that has slipped under the radar so far: the existence of a new live wallpaper called “Eclipse.”

Google Pixel 4a forums

This live wallpaper was first discovered by Droid life earlier this week, and it’s coming as part of the “Come Alive” section of the Google Wallpapers app. The description of “Eclipse” reads as follows: “Watch the colors ebb and flow as your battery life changes.” “Eclipse” is a fairly simple live wallpaper that shows a blue or purple tint gradually from the top of the screen to the bottom as the battery level of the phone decreases. The blue tint is displayed when the system-wide theme of the phone is set to “Light”, while the purple tint is displayed when the system-wide theme of the phone is set to “Dark.”

Here are two screenshots showing the purple versus blue hues of the live wallpaper “Eclipse”:

Thanks to XDA-approved developer Pranav Pandey, I installed the live Pixel 4a’s “Eclipse” live wallpaper on my ASUS ROG phone 3. Pranav Pandey is the developer responsible for porting the live wallpapers of the Pixel 2, Pixel 3 and Pixel 4, so it’s no surprise to look back at the door of the newly discovered Pixel 4a live wallpaper.

Here are the release notes of Pranav Pandey for this live wallpaper port:

Features

• Support for Android 7.0+ by removing the Wallpaper Colors API introduced in Android 8.1 (API 27). Therefore, System UI color will not change according to the live wallpaper on the supported devices. Please download the separate 8.1+ APK with all the functionality.
• No special arm64 dependency so, I think it should work on most devices.
• I found that some features (and a new wallpaper) are under development. I will try to research future updates.
• Environment mode is disabled by default within the APK. That, I think it will not work on Always On display.
• Tested on Xperia Z5 Android 7.1 (API 25).

You can download the Eclipse live wallpaper from the links below. Visit Pranav Pandey’s forum thread on XDA to follow his latest development efforts or ask questions about this port.

Bonus

Pranav Pandey discovered that Google was working on another live wallpaper for the Pixel 4a called “Pulley.” However, it seems that the Pulley live wallpaper has not yet been fully implemented, as there are no Services or Dex files on it. Nevertheless, he has extracted the styles of this unimplemented live wallpaper that you can apply on any device. An example of the two photos of Pulley wallpaper can be found below; to download them in their original quality, click on the ‘Still Images’ link above.
