If your Android's wallpaper is looking a little dull, you can always liven things up with the help of an app. Wallpaper apps typically come in two varieties. Static and Live. What's the difference? Well...static wallpaper has a still background that doesn't move. Live wallpaper on the other hand offers richer, animated and often interactive backgrounds (but keep in mind they use up more battery life). In the Google Play Store, you'll find hundreds of choices for both static and live wallpaper apps. So which to choose? Maybe we can help! Here's 5 great apps you can download to enhance your phone or tablet background:
