The Pixel devices are known for their stunning wallpapers, especially the live ones that add some motion and interactivity to your home screen. If you own a Pixel 2 XL, you might be wondering how you can get the live wallpaper from the first generation Pixel device, which features a beautiful beach scene with waves and clouds.

Fortunately, there is a way to install the live wallpaper from the first generation Pixel device on your Pixel 2 XL, thanks to the efforts of some developers who have extracted and modified the original app. Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Download and install the Google Wallpapers app from the Play Store, if you don’t have it already. This app will let you access and apply the live wallpapers on your device.

2. Download the modified Pixel Wallpapers 2017 app from this link and install it on your device. This app contains the live wallpapers from the Pixel 2, including the beach live wallpaper from the first generation Pixel device.

3. Go to your home screen and long-press on any empty space. Tap on “Wallpapers & style” and then tap on “Change wallpaper”.

4. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select “Live Wallpapers”. You should see a number of live wallpapers to choose from, including the beach live wallpaper from the first generation Pixel device. Tap on it and then tap on “Set wallpaper”.

5. Enjoy your new live wallpaper on your Pixel 2 XL!

Note: The live wallpapers should work on devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow or higher, but some features may not work on older versions. The live wallpapers may also consume more battery than static wallpapers, so keep that in mind if you are concerned about battery life.
