# UndeadWallpaper 🧟♀️📱
**Your phone screen is boring. Let's make it undead.**
Tired of static backgrounds? UndeadWallpaper is a free, balls-to-the-wall Android app that brings your screen to life... or, well, *un-death* by letting you slap any of your favorite videos on it as a seamless, stutter-free live wallpaper.
## The Story Behind the Name
This isn't just a clever pun on "live" wallpaper. The name **UndeadWallpaper** is personal. After a long, forced hiatus from coding, this project was the first sign of life... the moment a passion that was buried came clawing its way back to the surface. This app isn't just "live"; it's a symbol of a creator coming back from the dead. It's **undead**, because some things are just too stubborn to die.
## Features ✨
* **The New Engine (OpenGL Power):** We ripped out the old guts and replaced them with a custom OpenGL pipeline. It's smoother, faster, and lets you do things standard Android wallpapers can't.
* **God-Mode Controls:** Don't just set a video; *own* it. Scale, stretch, zoom, rotate, and position your wallpaper exactly how you want it. Too dark? Crank the brightness. It's your screen, do what you want.
* **One-Shot Mode:** Want a "Live Photo" vibe? Set your video to play once and freeze on the final frame. Perfect for cinematic intros.
* **Zombillie is Here:** Fresh install? We got you covered with a default Zombillie animation so your screen isn't naked while you look for your own clips.
* **Buttery-Smooth Looping:** Powered by ExoPlayer, your video loops will be so seamless, you'll forget where they even begin (o˘◡˘o).
* **Unleash Your Own Videos:** No pre-packaged crap. Grab any video straight from your phone's storage and make it your backdrop.
* **Quick-Draw Recents:** A handy list of your last-used videos, so you can swap vibes on the fly.
* **Audio On/Off Toggle:** Want your wallpaper to make some noise? Flip the switch. Want silent beauty? We got you.
* **100% Free & Open Source:** No ads, no bullshit, no microtransactions. Ever. This is a passion project, and the code is open for all you brilliant weirdos to see.
## Getting Started (It's scary simple)
1. **Pick Your Poison:** Tap the "Pick Video" button and choose your masterpiece.
2. **Tweak It:** Use the new advanced settings to fit, fill, or stretch your video. Zoom in, move it around, make it perfect.
3. **Smash the Button:** Like what you see in the preview? Hit that floating button and bring your screen to glorious un-life.
## Join the Horde! (Contribute & Connect)
This project clawed its way back from the dead, but it was the **community** that truly gave it a soul. The launch on Reddit was a whirlwind of incredible feedback, brilliant ideas, and amazing support. It's where the next chapter of this story is being written.
