where to find Sony automatic wallpaper changer - Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods

I just got my xz2 compact this week. I previously had a oneplus 3 and somewhere, somehow I came across some xperia apps that I loaded on it. However the best feature I found was the live wallpaper that allow me to select from my album a set of photos that cycle as my wallpaper.
Now that I have an xperia device I can't find this setting anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find this setting, or the apk to install this feature?
Thanks in advance.

If anyone is interested I've found the app. Its called. Photo slideshow.

Searching a certain wallpaper

Hey Guys,
not quite sure if this is the proper forum to ask but I'm looking for a certain wallpaper. I inadvertently didn't backup my Wallpaper folder on my N5 when I started the update to Lollipop (but I thought I did).
Now I searched the Web for hours, installed lots of stock wallpaper apps and stuff but I'm unable to find the WP. It sounds very silly but I like it a lot
Now I restored a Nandroid backup of my previously installed Android 4.4.4 and the Wallpaper is still visible but the source of the picture is gone. I attached the Wallpaper I'm looking for as a screenshot from my Home Screen. Hopefully somebody remembers from where it is and can help me.

[APPS] Ported Xperia apps for Mi 5s and more

Hello guys. Coming from a Sony phone I just couldn't get used to the MIUI launcher. Every app that's installed, is on your desktop. I rather have them in the app drawer instead. If you're like me, here's a collection of Xperia apps, that work just fine and without the need of root. I haven't ported them, just found them in the xda forums and got them together.
List of the apps:
Xperia Launcher 11.3.A.0.17
Xperia Launcher 11.0.A.0.7 - square folders on desktop
Sony Launcher beta 12.0.A.0.15 - the old weather widget won't work - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397909042
(thanks to Ben Ling for the links)
Clock 5.2.0.243 - Play Store widget that mimics Xperia's clock and shows the alarm clock correctly.
Album 9.4.A.0.24
Album 9.5.A.0.30 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397903554
Music (Walkman) 9.4.2.A.0.0
Photo Editor 8.0.A.0.11
Xperia keyboard 8.1.A.0.12
Calendar 20.4.B.0.5
Weather widget 2.4.A.0.5
Link in Google Drive.
I have tried these apps on MIUI 8, 9, 10 global dev. rom on Mi 5s, Redmi 4x and Mi A2 Lite. A2 Lite shows properly the notifications and icons on the top part of the screen and looks pretty well
I see you are a man of culture as well. Thanks for the post although I have been using them for a long time still I can use your links when I do a fresh install.
Thanks for the good words
I've also been using these for more than 2 years and finally decided to collect them in one post.
Looking forward to seeing the new Sony launcher.
I've done a repository that keeps the most recent versions of the mentioned Xperia apps. There are also some other apps like Telegram and Chrome. This repository is based on F-Droid and uses their app to connect and sync. So if you want to give it a shot, add the following repository in the F-Droid app:
http://unicastbg.ddns.net:801/fdroid/repo
This is in testing mode, no https at the moment and I can't get the descriptions metadata to work. But if you know the apps by name, you should be fine.
The server runs on a virtual machine and it's scheduled to shut down once a day for a few hours. This shut down is usually during US working hours.
Anyway, if you want to test it, give it a shot. I haven't edited the apks, for which their original signature should prove that. It's just something I wanted for some time and finally got it working.

Unable to find automatic daily wallpaper change again to disable it

Hi everyone,
On the stock ROM I found an option to change my wallpaper daily, so every day I get a fresh (Chromecast-like) wallpaper.
The thing is; I am no longer able to find this option and therefore I get a new wallpaper every day, even if I enforce my own wallpaper.
Does anyone know where this can be disabled? I think it was called something like "Auto wallpaper" but I'm unable to find it in Android Settings, HTC Themes or any Google (Home, Services) app.
Never mind, found it as it was an option in the Resplash app :/

Live Wallpaper picker.apk for CM11 - Solved

I found several threads about this issue that did get solved but it is not working for me.
I installed CM11 on my old phone and there is nothing newer for it. CM11 runs Android 4.4.4 .
I tried several live wallpaper picker apps and none of them worked.
If I install the app then I get the option in setting but it just crashes and does not allow to choose a live wallpaper. If I do as the thread suggests in the below link and this to just move the file to particular directory and change the permission and reboot then it would also crash.
