The Google Nexus 5 is one of the most beloved devices of all time in the Android enthusiast community. It offered great hardware for the time and an even greater software experience. Android 4.4 running on the Nexus 5 was a breath of fresh air for so many users. I've seen its iconic mountain wallpaper (which was the default on the device) still used in themes today. Apparently, XDA Junior Member maxima818 missed the wallpaper so much that he made an app for it. Parallax 3D Wallpaper is a live wallpaper application that he published recently on the XDA Forums. It recreates the iconic mountain wallpaper but adds a 3D and parallax touch to it so the wallpaper moves when you move your device. Here are the main features:
- 11 backgrounds to choose from
- Gyroscope effect
- Night and day transition
- Spinning wallpaper
- Earn points to unlock all wallpapers for free, or simply purchase for $2.49.
- Battery consumption: Almost none. You can even turn off the accelerometer to save battery.
The developer of the app was kind enough to give us 25 promo codes to give away for unlocking all of the wallpapers in the application. They are posted below. For redeeming the code, open the Google Play Store on your phone, swipe from the left to reveal the navigation menu, scroll down and tap on "Redeem."
Update: All of the codes have been redeemed.
The download link for the application is just below this paragraph. You can also go to the XDA thread of the app to report bugs, ask questions, or simply say thank you. Parallax 3D Wallpaper is only compatible with devices which run on Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher.
