In early June, I posted that Cinematic wallpapers couldn’t work on Android 14 yet because the pre-installed version of Android System Intelligence (ASI) didn’t have the necessary service.
There’s now a new version of ASI for Android 14 on APK Mirror that includes the required service. But that still doesn’t mean that Cinematic wallpapers will appear for you, as the app of the same name has to download the models to the user data partition for that to happen. There’s no way you can trigger the downloading of models, so it’s just a matter of luck.
In the attached block diagram I have once again given how Cinematic wallpapers work (from my observations) .
The cinematic_wallpaper_warmup_completed ASI flag is responsible for the appearance of the button in the wallpaper picker, and it is activated only after downloading the models in Cinematic wallpapers app.
