wallpaper is called The Expedition by Kxnt. It is exclusive to an app called Backdrops You need to buy pro to export the wallpapers. I will NOT share the file with anyone for obvious reasons - Go support kxnt yourself if you want it.
To Linebit that is.
Launcher: Nova
Icons: Linebit :)
Widgets: Huk for KWGT (Slightly modified by myself)
Wallpaper: Liquid Crush from Backdrops: [link]
PixelizeD Samsung Theme by Cameron Bunch for navigation buttons
Somebody in the YouTube comments asked as well. There was a reply to the app Backdrops ... but I can't confirm if it's available in there or not.
I've found that some of the pattern wallpapers from Backdrops look quite nice. You'd need Backdrops Pro in order to download wallpapers to your device, though.
Based on the current "Wallpaper of the Day" from Backdrops - Wallpapers.
Backdrops is a wallpaper app,
It basically has a free "daily" wallpaper, a bunch of paid packs and a 'community' section where anyone can upload
There's another image I wanted to include, but I don't have the pro version of the app that has requires pro to DL, Backdrops. The image is called "Ghastly Galaxy," and is the ideal example of the kind of vividly-colored image I think AMOLED does best.
It's so vivid it almost looks 3D
It's from the app Backdrops. I can't give you the direct link as you'd need the pro version to download wallpapers, but you can still apply them with the free version.
Found the wallpaper in the Backdrops app. Icon set is Earth Icon pack.
Zooper widgets are custom made. Media utilities is used for the music text
Backdrop wallpapers pro. Has seriously beautiful original wallpapers created by some well known designers who also make many of the well known icon packs. Make the best use of the AMOLED screen.

This is taken from the Backdrops - Wallpapers app. They share great self-made wallpapers for free. Please support the app developers.
Just so I know you mean the same app. [link] this one?
If so then yes it's not registering my purchase either I have sent the developer an email. He replied to my initial email but then gave me the old shoulder when I replied to him.
Wallpaper: from Backdrops with Material Music Komponent and Weather Flat SVG for KLWP
Google Widget: Nova Launcher Google search bar with grey theme.
KWGT: Material Daze Widget preset
For opening app drawer and the Google app I have Nova gesture controls on with swipe up and double tap respectively.
It's from Backdrops app. Unfortunately I can't download it without buying the app. But you can download the app for free and set it up for your device.
Here's the link for the app: [link]
I haven't used it but I just browsed the screenshots on the Backdrops listing on the play store and it looks very similar to Google's wallpaper app but with some categories that Google doesn't have. Neat!
Here you go. It is called Swerve and you can find it on Backdrops. Normally I change wallpapers all the time but I've been using this one since October 18 because it looks nice, is saturated, and enables the dark theme.
I use an image titled "Let's Play" from the Backdrops app. I don't know why I love it so much, but I do.
It's my wallpaper for all of my devices.
- Launcher : Nova Pro
- Clock : Samsung Stock Clock
- Wallpaper : Vice Rise - Backdrops
- Icon pack : Chromatin UI
App is android only. I use a tablet to get them and send them to myself after my leap to iOS about a year or two ago.
That's up to you! I've been using backdrops ([link]), but the official Google one has some nice wallpapers as well. I like the variety Backdrops has, and the fact that they're high res wallpapers which look great on the S7e screen.
As for the pixel look, the beta has some features that should be able to get you that pixel look, or some part of it (whatever you desire). Under the dock, you could give it a white background, or make it semi transparent. I set mine to about 10% with a white color, which gives it just a bit of definition but still looks different than other launchers. You can get turn on the little up arrow to open the app drawer, and also activate "swipe up to open app drawer" under gestures I believe? Have some fun making it personal! This is the fun part of Android :)
So many icon packs to choose from! I've lately been using the pixel icon pack ([link]), but I really like a bunch of other looks, like the Elun and Voxel packs.
It's from Backdrops app. Unfortunately I can't download it without buying the app. But you can download the app for free and set it up for your device. Here's the link for the app: [link]
This is today's wallpaper from the Backdrops Wallpapers app. Please support the dev and download the app if you need the full resolution image (3200x2560).
EDIT: nvm, it's linked elsewhere in the post. :)
I want that one too!
Maybe it's from the Backdrops App, but i couldn't find it? ([link])
I'd recommend giving Backdrops a try, I get all my wallpapers from there.
Just wanted to say that the $2 or so I spent on Backdrops was well worth it. Especially since with the premium, I can use the wallpapers on my computer. Although the community ones can usually be found elsewhere, the custom ones are unique to Backdrops.
First time it showed up online was here
After a little digging, it's from the Backdrops Android App
Sure thing. The wall is from Backdrops and the icon pack is Pixel Rounds
Nope, unit is stock Android 7.1.1. So yesterday unit got stuck in a boot loop, had to factory reset, restore data from backup and seemed okay.
Today did the Security Updates and no boot loop but unit was attempting to start up for over 30 minutes. So ended up factory resetting again from boot loader and start as new.
So ran the Security updates with the device as new and am now factory resetting and restoring from backup... Hope all runs smoothly. I have a feeling issue might be software related.
When my first issue with the boot loop occured the only thing that changed that I'm aware of is I installed this Backdrops - Wallpapers application,
Thought I'd just post what I've done so far so everyone knows.
Is a backdrops exclusive so not sure I feel comfortable with uploading & distributing so ��
The wallpaper is from backdrops. Download the app here
Unfortunately, it requires the premium version which costs $1.99 to save/share. The image is titled "Rapid Falls" authored by Kxnt (Scenery category).
It's free to set the wallpaper using the app, but I can't share it without paying.
(edit) I tracked down the exact name of the image, told you what category it was in and why it couldn't be shared, and still got downvoted. Lmfao
Wallpaper: Office Hours from Backdrops App
Launcher: Nova
Icon Pack: Polycon (for the Relay icon)
Widget: Minimalistic Text Widgets (shows the time on the computer's screen)
I don't think I'm allowed to do that as the app is paid if you want to download the wallpaper.
But here is the link to the app : [link]

- Backdrops - gorgeous custom wallpapers (exclusive to the app).
- CF.lumen - works best with root, applies a warm color filter to your screen depending on your location (sunrise/sunset).
- Collateral - notification reminders with tons of customization and settings.
- Darker Pro - screen dimmer (to dim lower than stock).
- hovernote - pop up notepad.
- Kustom Widget - as easy to use as zooper, but time updates reliably.
- SearchBar Ex - better Google search widget, also allows you to search within other apps (YouTube, play, etc.).
- Slide - best reddit client with the most features and theme options. A few bugs, but the dev /u/ccrama pushes updates at least weekly.
- Stocard - I use this for my loyalty cards at stores (Walgreens, CVS, grocery store).
List made using List My Apps
I've been using Backdrops for a few weeks and I love it.
- Backdrops - lovely wallpaper app.
- Gravity Screen - set your phone down, screen turns off. Pick it up, screen turns on!
- Pocket Casts - a really well designed podcast app.
- SoundHUD - luckily, Android fixed their words Lollipop sound controls in Marshmallow, but I still like the design of soundhud over the stock volume controls.
List made using List My Apps
It's from Backdrops. The wallpaper is called "Cyclone Zone."
Apps:
Backdrops: Choose and download from tons of nice HD wallpapers.
DataDEX: Still new, but definitely the most beautifully designed Pokedex app I've come across.
Iconstructor: Create your own icon pack. Lots of options and has a great tutorial to help you get started.
Kolorette: For your theming needs. Get the main colors from your wallpaper (or any other image) for use in KWLP/Zooper/etc.
Recurrence: Nice little app to schedule your own custom notifications. Has a bunch of customization options too.
RSBrowser: Great Chromium-based browser. Has Chrome Sync, works with ChromePie, everything I could ask for in a Chrome replacement.
Stellio: Nice music player with a great interface and, most importantly, can find all the music on my SD card. One of the downsides is how it doesn't support .m4a files though.
Tachiyomi: Clean and functional manga reader.
XDA Labs: Get updates to apps from XDA. Great for browsing the forums too.
Games:
- Minesweeper: Based on the old Windows minesweeper game.
Icons:
Alos: Beautiful flat rounded icons.
Around: My favorite circle icon pack.
Crispy: Bright and colorful Material design icons.
Easy Square: Simple square icons.
Elun: Another great circle icon pack.
Long Shadow: Square icons with a long shadow effect.
Perfect: Material icon pack that lives up the name.
Pixel UI: Circle icons based on Nougat.
Root:
- Device Control: Batch uninstall/disable/enable apps. Technically has a bunch of other useful fucntions but the app manager is mainly what I use it for.
List made using List My Apps | Other app recs
Backdrops is my favourite. it's got a good selection of exclusive wallpapers as well as backgrounds uploaded by the community. you can also add wallpapers to favourites (and cycle through them using Muzei) or download the files straight to your device.
that said, these days I grab wallpapers from Google+. Nick Nice and Alex Chaves are absolutely worth following.
Backdrops: Great selection of wallpapers that gets updated daily by the developer and the community. If you have a high resolution phone like the Nexus 6P and have a hard time finding a nice wallpaper for it, Backdrops is the app you're looking for.
Deezer: I was a huge Google Play Music user after discovering I could do 1440 kbps FLAC streaming on my wifi network with Deezer, now I just can't go back. The discovery service is on par with Spotify and the family plan available is super cheap and nice.
Metronome by Soundbrenner: The only metronome app that I've found that it just works and looks amazing, also is free.
Noisli: Sometimes I really have hard time falling asleep, Noisli is the only background noise generator app that I've found helps me. Looks super nice and the sound quality is really good.

Thanks for all the comments and pictures, so here is an overview of the stuff that I use:
Wallpaper - [link]
Icon Pack - [link]
Launcher - [link]
Clock Widget - [link]
Skin/Theme for Clock Widget - [link]
I'm using folder for almost all the apps on the Homescreen and I only use one Homescreen. By using the folders I can quickly access everything as well as have it all organised.
It's part of Backdrops. The wall is called Vice Rise.
- Launcher: Nova Prime
- Wallpaper: Backdrops
- Icon Pack: Darkmatter
- Widget: Kreativ Zooper
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and the wallpaper is accessible via Backdrops. I would share a link to the wallpaper, but sharing it requires a paid account. The wallpaper is called Galactic Atoms and it can be found in the MINIMAL section of the app. For the main icons, I'm using Dives. For the dock, I'm using Urmun.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know!
Backdrops - I don't use it as much as I used to, but it's still a great wallpaper app with a huge collection of backgrounds, some of which are exclusive to this app only.
Barcode Scanner - grandfather of all QR code scanner apps. free and open source, small size, does one thing and does it well with no unnecessary fluff.
Bitwarden - my password manager of choice. FOSS, cross-platform, syncs my database between devices.
Blokada - rootless device-wide ad blocker. FOSS and easy on resources. offers a wide choice of hosts blocking lists, as well as the option to add your own list or just few domains.
Bromite - FOSS Chromium based browser with privacy and antitracking features being a priority.
You can find it in my Backdrops app. It's named Gnarly 90s in the Patterns category.
no, it's from Backdrops app. it's called Gradient Glow:
According to the article these are the Top 5 Best Wallpaper Apps:

Really liked the Sagon icon pack and found this wallpaper which matched pretty well imo. Still struggling to find widgets to go with I though so if anyone has any recommendations I'd love to hear it.
Wallpaper is from Backdrops
Weather widget from Weather Timeline
Clock widget from Trident 3
Icon pack is Sagon
The wallpaper is called "Cell Division", it's in the backdrops app:
No, but I have the second best thing. A link to the app that has it. Backdrops
I just get my walls from BackDrops
I always go back to Backdrops - [link]
It looks good! My only recommendation is a more minimalist wallpaper. The app Backdrops is a good place for those.
"Dark Ocean" from the Backdrops app
More sunlight and moderate temperatures inspired me to make a Spring-y theme.

Wallpaper from Backdrops app. Sorry guys this is from the paid section of the app so I can't link it. The app itself is free though and I definitely recommend checking it out.
The homescreen itself is a ~~KLWP setup with a simple clock.~~ I've changed it to a KWGT widget. Link at the end of the comment.
The icon pack is Umbra.
Not sure if this qualifies for weekly challenge because it's quite simple but heh worth a try.
I recently bought Backdrops and I am really happy with it.
Looks great. Link to the backdrops app: [link]
Desktop - default wallpaper of Plasma 5.5
Phone - <em>Dim Aurora</em> from Backdrops
May I suggest downloading the Apps "Backdrops" and "Wally" They both have tons of Material design and unique wallpapers at 2k and even 4k for some.
Here is my current one though I change daily. Note: This one is set to not scroll :c
Try some of these...
Superhero Wallpapers Material design superhero wallpapers
Terra Collection High resolution shots of earth from above
Walloid Wallpaper from stock ROMS
Most of these are high resolution image. Some are dynamic wallpaper that changes wallpaper at preset times. They all are pretty darn good for finding good wappaper...
Its called "Hawaii", i found it in an app called Backdrops :)
It's a pretty generic setup, but I've settled on this for now.

I'm open to any suggestions

This is my first go at customising after getting an LG G6 a couple days ago, coming from Windows Mobile
Wallpaper: From Backdrops I think, installed loads of wallpaper apps, don't really like any of them.
Icons: Flight
Used Nova Launcher to hide the status bar etc.
Spotify player: It's a customised widget from the Ocea KWGT pack
Break Line: Custom widget using a font from the Parrot Zooper pack
Weather and Date: Customised widget from the Ocea KWGT pack again
Search Bar: Customised widget from the Europa Zooper pack
Ideally I'd want to be able to swipe in from the left and right to open up 2 sets of app folders to hide some of the not quite as frequent apps from the home screen, so help there would be appreciated. Alternatively if there is just some way to extend the home screen down a little, so I can stack a few apps lower down and just scroll down to them.
That's from Backdrops, but I believe it's a paid one. Search for "red", and it'll be somewhere down the results if it's free.

It's part of Backdrop. ~~This wallpaper you can only get by paying for the app.~~
Lots of good backgrounds there
Good idea. Android isn't for everyone, and I think iOS's biggest strength is that it just works. With Android, you'll probably spend more time in settings menus, but in the end, you get to make your device your own.
A couple app suggestions:
- Backdrops - wallpaper app
- Muzei This is a live wallpaper app. Basically you can set it to a subreddit like /r/Earthporn and have it change your wallpaper automatically for a set interval. I have mine set to change my wallpaper every 4 hours from my favorited wallpapers in Backdrops.
- Nova Launcher - Home screen
- Zooper Widget You can basically create any kind of widget you want. I used to use this, but now I just use the Weather Timeline weather widget.
- Weather Timeline - This is a paid weather app, but totally worth it.
Free icon packs
Paid icon packs
Most people, and myself, recommend using this app

I use Backdrops. Lots of options, even on the free version.
I also use Nova Launcher but I've also used Evie as my launcher in the past, and I use the Power Toggles widget setting "immersive mode" when I want to hide the status bar and soft keys.
It's from this app: Backdrops
The wallpaper itself is called Upside Ice.
Try Backdrops. Huge collection of wallpapers with lots of dark ones. Should be able to find one you'll like.
Its a wallpaper called Slash Parade from Backdrops.
On iOS, I like the Background app. It pulls images from Unsplash.
Backdrops is pretty nice for Android.
It’s in the info section of his YouTube video.
Looks like he linked this app for the wallpaper.
It's the current Wall of the Day on Backdrops
In another video he mentioned that he used Backdrops to get his wallpapers.

The wallpaper? Download an app called "Backdrops-Wallpapers" in the google play store. You'll find it there:
That's the wallpaper "Backlash" from the Android wallpaper app Backdrops, awesome app, well worth supporting the artist.
I use Backdrops Wallpapers . If you like material style wallpapers then you will probably like this App.
Backdrops - my absolute favourite wallpaper app. Has such simple and amazing designs [link]
Hermit - creates an app for a website. Especially useful for when you don't use an app often and you want a lightweight option [link]
Pushbullet/Join - notification mirroring, SMS from desktop and so much more [link]
Chrome remote desktop - see your desktop on your phone [link]
Memorigi - my new favourite to do list app. It just works for me. Also check out Google Keep, Todoist, Wunderlist or ask for more recommendations [link]
Weather timeline - pretty, simple and just works [link]
Authy - only if you use 2 factor authentication (which you should) [link]
LastPass - password manager. I love it and it has changed my internet usage [link]
Sleep as android - alarm app that is able to track your sleep but also comes with problems to solve or things to do to stop the alarms in the morning (scan a QR code for example)
[link]
Google rewards - Google occasionally sends you surveys and gives you play store credit for answering them (give it location permission and make sure it is turned on) [link]
Tasker - very complicated automation app, but I like it. I use it for rotation on a per app basis and opening an app upon Bluetooth connection [link]
These are the apps I enjoy and use a lot. If you need further recommendations I'd be glad to help. Merry Christmas!
Edit: added links on mobile, hence the lack of proper formatting
It's from the Backdrops app, one of the "exclusive" ones.
I suggest Backdrops for wallpapers. Pro version is not worth it, but the free on is definitely great.
Agreed. I think there's more visually appealing ways to do it. I like what Backdrops does ([link]).
- Wallpaper: The Summit from Backdrops app for Android
- GTK: Flatabulous
- Icons: Numix Circle

I use this app to get my wallpapers, there's loads of really nice ones on there: [link]
Personally love the backdrops app.

I got it from "Backdrops" app. [link]
-Nova Launcher Prime
-Tesla Unread
-Wallpaper is from the Backdrops app in the Play Store
-Vajra Free for both the clock and the weather widgets.
-Materialistik icons
I played with the widgets a little bit and took away the transparency from the original colors and moved around the weather widget so it would fit in the top corner. The bottom line is just a basic rectangle.

Materialistik: [link]

I like Backdrops: [link]
Most wallpapers elsewhere seem to be up-scaled which is just painfully obvious on the 6P display.
Backdrops is worth a look
[link] is my new go-to wallpaper app. Very high quality and nice looking wallpapers. Great app design too.
You can find it in this app - Backdrops
