Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

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.

XScreenSaver APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the XScreenSaver APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b54ff505bbe5d246a59c2b467feb558f.
