It's outdated as shit in terms of UI as it hasn't been updated in half a decade, but it still works, and works well... if you want to have animated GIFs as your wallpapers as I did.

According to some of the reviews, it looks like the major drawback is that there is no thumbnail preview of the gifs you're selecting to be used in rotation. So if you're trying to pick acceptable gifs from 1000s of them, it would be quite tedious.
reviews on the android store seem to say no.

I'm on Android and use the app AnimGIF Live Wallpaper 2 Pro (the name is super long so you know it's good).
Honestly though, it works great and doesn't really affect battery life, unless you're using a crazy 8MB+ gif or something.
Don't know about iPhones.
If you have a gif file downloaded onto the device it can be quite simple. I use this app on my phone and it works great.
>AnimGIF LWP 2 PRO
did you apply it using AnimGIF LWP 2 PRO (this app is a live desktop gif renderer.)
Feel free to search for it (I know clicks are creepy)... but here's the link in case.
​
*or whatever app will render animated gifs as a "live wallpaper".
I can only state that the above works... haven't tried any others.
If you're on Android, there's a few apps that are designed to do that, but I can't vouch for them other than this one, and even then I haven't used it in years and when I did, it was a free version (which seems to have disappeared), so it's possible the app is quite different now.
It did work though, but it used a lot of battery and the GIFs always looked a bit low res.

I use this app on my samsung S8+ to use my own made gifs lol and it works really well I also upload my gifs to giphy https://giphy.com/gifs/foaQRHMrOSgHlL2gfi
You should just download the giphy app which lets you download the gifs I believe �� I only have 8 gifs at the moment but will make more later :O
Edit: nevermind cant download gifs from giphy I think I used somre other website that lets you download the gifs from giphy but I forgot which one it was :(
AnimGif LWP 2 is the only way I've found to have an animated background. There's a free version too, it just puts a very small watermark on your background. I would have liked to make this all with KLWP, but to have the animated background I had to use AnimGif and overlay everything else with KWGT.
GIF version I use AnimGIF Live Wallpaper 2 Pro to make it a Live Wallpaper.
I'm using a live wallpaper based on No Man's Sky art.
Here's a gfycat of it in action.
and all the stuff I used:
Edit: I just noticed it said homescreen layout. Dang, if this isn't okay, let me know and I can delete this comment.
I posted this a while back so i'll just copy and paste my post from a thread on /r/Nexus5 >I'm using a live wallpaper based on No Man's Sky art.

Hey dudes, this is my first theme, I got no idea if I did well or not so I would love some feedback on how to improve it ( It's for my Tablet not my Phone )
Heres everything I used:
All the widgets were custom made by me in KWGT Pro ( The clock with date opens the calendar, The little bell opens the notification bar and the battery opens the battery settings )
Wallpaper is a custom (Removed the 22) flipped version of this by pixelMewr
The app used to put the gif as a background is this
Font used for everything is Pixelmix
The icons are a custom version of 1-Bit where all i did was extracting the images and colouring them purple with photoshop
Launcher is Nova
Edit : I put everything I used in this folder here if anyone wants to use it, including the wallpaper and the used Photoshop icons
I've used this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.direxar.animgiflivewallpaper2pro
and gif images to do this. Thing is, its GOOD BYE BATTERY if you do this.
Nova Launcher
Zooper Widget
The widget has double the apps as it seems because beside Photos is Snapchat, beside Phone is Facebook, the notepad is Google Music, etc. It's one big widget but I had to photoshop a border on the last box since it interfered with my home/back button. There's borders on the notepad because it's usually a frame for a picture of loved ones, but I took it out for privacy reasons.
I'm using this app

If you're using an Android device, you can use This appand just download the gif
If you have an android,
Apps like this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.direxar.animgiflivewallpaper2pro, it's to turn gifs into a wallpaper.
Animgif lw2 pro, it'll take gifs you feed it and cycle them as a live background.

This will make a great phone wallpaper. AnimGIF if you want to use gifs as wallpapers.
Nova Launcher
Zooper Widget
I actually got this theme idea from /u/Stahlfan, with his original post last year. I edited the time, the apps, and the little notepad to my liking. There's borders on the notepad because it's usually a frame for a picture of loved ones, but I took it out for privacy reasons.
The widget has double the apps as it seems because beside Photos is Snapchat, beside Phone is Facebook, the notepad is Google Music, etc. It's one big widget but I had to photoshop a border on the last box since it interfered with my home/back button.
I wanted to do something minimal which can easily incorporate new apps and have a space for all my widget shit.
