How to Get Asus ROG Phone 3 Live Wallpaper for Android

Posted on by

The Asus ROG Phone 3 is a powerful gaming device. Even his wallpaper is made to animate when you turn on his high-performance “X-Mode”. The goal is to evoke that “extreme gaming” atmosphere (sometimes by mistake), but the animated wallpapers actually look pretty neat – and thanks to the linuxct user of the XDA forums, you can now install them on any phone running Android 9 or higher …

Linuxct even created a dedicated X-Mode Toggler app that mimics the X-Mode button to enable wallpaper animations. A companion app is required to use the wallpaper, but the button press is purely aesthetic; it does not affect the performance of your phone.

You can download the ROG Phone 3 live wallpaper and the X-Mode linuxct app from the XDA devs, but there are a few things you need to do to get everything installed on your Android phone. This will also require a PC, USB cable and ADB tool.

How to install X-Mode Toggler and ROG Live Wallpapers

  1. Download the X-Mode Toggler App and Wallpaper APKs to your Android phone from the link above.
  2. Extract the files, then tap to install the X-Mode Toggler APK and APKs for any wallpaper you want to use.
  3. On your phone, go to Settings> About Phone, then press Build Number seven times to enter developer mode.
  4. Go back and go to Settings> System> Advanced> Developer Options. Scroll down and select USB Debugging.
  5. Download and install the ADB tool on your computer. ( This guide will help you if you haven’t already.)
  6. Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.
  7. Open the ADB tool or your PC’s Command Prompt window and run the following command: adb shell pm grant space.linuxct.rogcontroller android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
  8. After running the command, you can now use the live wallpaper.
  9. Go to your phone’s wallpaper settings.
  10. Choose one of the ROG Phone 3 wallpapers.
