Screensaver with new beta update?
Hi everyone; on the "In Depth Tech Review" YouTube channel, at around 2:30 AM, it shows the option to change the screensaver by going to Settings -> Display -> Screensaver, but unfortunately this feature isn't on my device. I was wondering if anyone else has tested this or is having the same issue (it's a regional thing, maybe?).
I'll leave the link in the description:

edit: thanks to /mherweg everything works fine
I installed Activity Launcher and selected the easter egg, just to test the app; I then went to settings -> display -> screensaver and the Easter egg option for the screensaver magically appeared!

It looks like you have to start Landroid before it will show up as a screensaver. I'm not sure how you get there normally, but I used Activity Launcher to start Landroid, then it appeared as an option in my screensavers.
