The Honor Magic 2 made several headlines when it was announced some time back. It was, after all, Honor's latest experimental device which attempts to apply some tricks, like a slider camera, to achieve a nearly 100% screen-to-body ratio—a concept that has already been explored by other device manufacturers such as Oppo and Xiaomi. Honor's attempt does deliver on that "nearly 100% screen-to-body ratio" promise very well, and the results look truly amazing, as hands-on videos have already revealed. The phone also has plenty of horsepower, too: the 7nm-based Kirin 980 serves as the brains for the device, together with things such as up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, a triple camera setup, 40W fast charging, and more.

The software, based on Android 9 Pie, is also one of the phone's highlights thanks to things such as the Yoyo assistant. We've been digging through the Honor Magic 2's firmware lately, and now we've decided to share the Honor Magic 2's preinstalled wallpapers, live wallpapers, and themes.

We managed to get our hands on the Honor Magic 2's latest firmware and ripped the Honor Magic 2's wallpapers so you can use them on any Android device. There's a total of 19 wallpapers, 10 of which we've included below as a preview: to check them out, simply click/tap on any of them to expand the gallery. If you like what you see, I highly recommend downloading the uncompressed versions, which are 2160x2340 resolution, using the link below.

Download Honor Magic 2 Live Wallpapers

Once again, the Honor Magic 2 brings a series of live wallpapers that we've found while digging through the firmware. Just like with the Huawei Mate 20 live wallpapers, porting the APK was necessary in order to have them install on any phone, so XDA Recognized Contributor linuxct helped us out again with porting the Honor Magic 2 live wallpapers so that they could be installed and used on any device. I personally installed them on my OnePlus 5T running an Android Pie custom ROM, and I can confirm they work flawlessly, so they should work just alright on pretty much any device.

This time around, there are four new live wallpapers included in this port: Atlas, Glamour Galaxy, Glamour Nebula, and Honorplanet. You can download them using the link below.

Last but not least, we also have some of the themes included with the Honor Magic 2's firmware. These themes are, obviously, meant to be used in EMUI only and can be used on both EMUI 8 and EMUI 9 (Android Oreo and Android Pie, respectively).

There is a total of 10 themes, each of which comes with wallpaper(s) and an icon pack. You can download the themes using the link below.

How to Install the Honor Magic 2 Themes on EMUI 8/EMUI 9

Installing a new theme in EMUI is a pretty straightforward process:

  1. Download the themes from above and unzip the .hwt files into the /Themes folder in the root of your device’s internal storage. If there isn’t a /Themes folder, then make one.
  2. Open the Themes app.
  3. Tap Customize. You should now be able to pick elements of the new themes.

Note: Huawei has stopped providing bootloader unlock codes for their devices. Therefore, the bootloaders of the Honor Magic 2 cannot be unlocked, which means that users cannot root or install custom ROMs.
