3. X Mode 2.0
Finally, you should download the X Mode 2.0 application. This app adds a Quick Settings toggle that you can use it to change the status of the wallpaper. While this app doesn’t bring Asus’ X Mode to your phone, it helps replicate the animation behavior and brings it closer to what you’ll find on ROG Phones.

Set ROG Phone 5s Live Wallpaper On Your Android Phone
After downloading and installing all the necessary apps, you can set the ROG Phone 5s live wallpaper from your phone’s wallpaper selector. If it doesn’t list the wallpaper, you can use the Google Wallpaper app (downloadFree) to set wallpaper.
Configure X Mode 2.0 App and Use ROG Phone 5s Live Wallpaper
When you open X Mode 2.0 on an unrooted phone, you will see an error message asking you to run the following ADB command. If you haven’t already (or run ADB from your browser) install ADB on your PC and run the following command:
adb shell pm grant space.linuxct.rogcontroller android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
After running this command you can bring the X Mode toggle to the Quick Settings panel. To do this, tap the pencil icon and drag the button to the active area. You can now turn the wallpaper on or off to change its appearance.
And if you’re wondering if it works, it does, and it’s so flawless. I installed all the apps on my Pixel 3 running Android 12 and was able to use the Asus ROG Phone 5s’ live wallpapers with ease. Here’s how it looks:
