Description
XScreenSaver is a large collection of historic and educational graphics demos.
These all work as both Daydreams and Live Wallpapers.
XScreenSaver is the standard screen saver collection shipped on most Linux and Unix systems. I released the first version in 1992. In 2006, I ported it to MacOS, and in 2012 I ported it to iOS. This is the Android port, 2016.

Classic wallpapers from Linux, on your android phone! They even turned them into live wallpapers.

I didn't know this existed until Brodie Robertson made a video about the absolutely comical privacy policy (although I did know about the actual Xorg version). Great app, there aren't enough good screensavers for android

The famous Screensaver of Linux brought to Android by Jamie Himself. It would be great, if Screensaver can show clock as well while charging or docked.

As the app describes, is a collection of fully working graphical demos that work as a screensaver and/or a live wallpaper. It is interesting... But watch out, it might crash the wallpaper selector!
★★☆☆☆
Beware of installing this app on older devices. Once installed on Lollipop, both my Wallpaper and Daydream settings screen refused to open and started force closing the Settings app itself!
