FAQ
Questions
Is Zeul free?
Yes. Zeul is free to download and use, and its source code is open under the GPL-3.0 licence. Some wallpapers unlock after a short ad.
How do I install the Zeul APK?
Download the latest APK from the Zeul releases page on GitHub on your Android phone, open it, and allow your browser or file manager to install apps when asked. Android 8.0 or newer is required.
Can I upload my own wallpapers?
Yes. Sign in, tap the upload button on the Home screen, pick a photo, name it and choose a category. It goes live for everyone, credited to you. You can upload 5 wallpapers a day and delete them any time.
Do I need an account?
No. You can browse, download and set wallpapers without an account. Signing in syncs your favourites across devices and lets you upload.
What are AMOLED wallpapers?
Wallpapers with mostly pure black (#000000) backgrounds. On OLED and AMOLED screens black pixels are switched off, so they look deep and can save battery. Zeul has a dedicated AMOLED section.
Can I build my own app from Zeul?
Yes, under the GPL-3.0: your version must stay open source too. Please use your own name and logo. The README explains how to run it on your own backend.
