Here is somewhat of a treat for you iPhone-owning noise heads out there: A pseudo-dynamic or pseudo-animated iOS wallpaper for iPhone 4S and up. And no jailbreak required!
After years and years of research…ok…after some glitching around with our iPhones we are proud to introduce you to the pseudo-animated or pseudo-dynamic background wallpaper for every iPhone that is capable of the mighty parallax effect first found in Apple’s iOS7.
What is it and how does it work
Actually it looks pretty cool, like a matte metallic reflection that depends on how you hold the device. That’s the “dynamic” part of the wallpaper. Ultra-nice to look at! Plus the lock-screen sometimes acts as if the image was somehow animated even when lying flat on the table. That’s the “animated” part of this hacked wallpaper.
It’s so crazy, we’ve made a boring video for it to calm things down a bit:
We call it pseudo-animated or pseudo-dynamic wallpaper because it isn’t actually an animated or a real dynamic wallpaper like the ones preinstalled with iOS7.
Basically it is nothing more than a sheer jpg-file. The effect is the result of very fine patterns together with the retina display, the parallax effect, pixel stuff, pattern interference, non-intrusive non-invasive hardware hacks, rocket sience and a wee bit of glitch magic – maybe someone else can explain it better.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy your new bling bling dynamic background…err, pseudo-dynamic.
And since we haven’t seen anybody else doing this we hope to encourage some of you guys to explore more possibilities of this glitchy effect!
Installation
This is easy as pie. Here is how you install the pseudo-animated / pseudo-dynamic wallpaper on your iPhone 4s/5/5s/5c with iOS7 and above :
- Download and then save the images to your device.
- Set images as your home background or lockscreen background respectively.
- Make sure to have the iOS Parallax Effect turned ON!
- Bling! Bling!
This actually works with any device capable of the parallax effect introduced with iOS7, that means for example that your iPhone does not have to be jailbroken.
