live wallpapers? - HTC Aria General

i downloaded a few from the market such as the duckhunt one just to see what it'd be like on the phone. But I can't for the life of me get them to apply to my wallpaper. I was wondering if there's something im missing to load them

without a root, the live wallpapers do not currently work.

aniPet Not Showing Up in Market
I wanted to try out the aniPet Koi and aniPet Aquarium live wallpapers. When I search for them in the Market or use a CR Code to try and grab them, I get not found.
Is ATT controlling the Market apps we see even on rooted phones?

I side loaded Mario_Live wallpaper, it installed and I can see the app but it won't run nor is it selectable from the homescreen. My phone isn't rooted. Phone must be routed to work.

Yea, I've got it working on mine. You must root the phone to work, since the package here:

requires root, I think.

My favorite is the Acquarium Live Wallpaper

Agreed, aquarium live is awesome. I like plasma too. I still don't see the ani aniPet koi live wallpaper though...not even on wifi with no sim card.

Is anyone able to tell me how these live wallpapers are running on the 600mhz processor? any slowdown? Is there any videos anyone can post of them being run on the HTC Aria? Thanks guys.

Well, most of the live wallpapers are running perfectly. I personally leave it on Acquarium Live Wallpaper. I believe Youtube has some videos on that. I have experienced no slowdowns on that so any Youtube video should demonstrate the speediness. The Super Mario Live Wallpaper does have slowdowns, though, even when I turn off "Low Priority" to give more CPUs to Mario Live Wallpaper; the rest of the phone still seems pretty snappy, though, even though the Live Wallpaper has slowdowns.

ROOT??

No, the HTC Desire comes with live wallpapers in their Sense UI while certain mid-level phones like HTC Aria, Droid Eris, don't have live wallpapers in our Sense UI, which is why we have to root our phones to replace our Sense UI with one that includes live wallpapers. I'm not sure why they do this. But phones like ours are typically free while the HTC Desire is obviously not free, so that's probably just one way that the carriers are artificially separating these phones.

Don't let the mhz trick ya, the thing really is a beast.

I just upgraded from the G1 to the desire and although it can get a bit jumpy in parts, the G1 handled Cyanogens 5.0.7 very well... The sense ui was great and I was using the aquarium live wallpaper without problems... If the G1 can handle it I don't suppose there is a phone out there that couldn't...

help...
I installed lwp but now im stuck in clockwork... it says install from sdcard complete but it wont let me out... help.

You should be selecting "+++ Go Back +++" item at the bottom of the menu to return to the main menu, where a "Reboot" item will be available.

My Aria is showing zero signs of any sort of problems/lags/FC/etc since flashing Liberated b005, adding LWP, and using these live wall papers..Im using the one now has the moon orbiting around Earth...and the google maps one is Super Duper Cool.

Droid X live wallpaper not working...

Live Wallpapers

I know the HTC Legend is running 2.1, but I noticed none of the video on the internet show the Legend using a Live Wallpaper.
Has anyone read up or seen on a video whether or not it has them?
The legend has a bubble LWP that is in a vid, if I find it again I'll post it.
Found what I was looking for:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdO8AGthTDw
Looks like no live wallpapers for the HTC Legend.
Can anyone translate what the demo person is saying?

Hey, i try the Legend by the htc on the CeBIT 2010 in Germany.
It has no Live wallpapers
And I try the Desire, I have one word for this phone ´´Power´´
Don't worry if our good ROM cookers can port Live wallpapers on Hero they will do it for Legend too, and even better because the Legend's GPU is the same as N1
yes..but nobody knows whether they will be able to root the legend yet. I remember devs struggling with the tattoo and Droid ERIS. So may be htc is patching all exploits in their kernels.
I am sure HTC forgot a hidden exploit, ROM cooking is the main advantage of hTC android phones.Anyway do you think Hero official 2.1 ROM will be as difficult to jailbreak? If yes that mean we will have Hero's devs working with us to find an exploit
BTW the Nexus One is OS 2.1 and is already rooted
Download HelixLauncher From the market and you have Live Wallpapers.
On homescreen push the house and choose helixlauncher.
You don't have the Sence interface anymore, but you can switch back anytime if you need it.
Also you can turn off both but don't see why you should do that.
Edit, The live wallpapers don't seem to work, but the discription said it is. Strange, guess we have to wait...
hoping for an update for live wallpaper to be "enabled" for Legend.

[Think Tank] LiveWallpapers on legend build

so ive installed livewallpapers on a legend rom for g1, but whenever i try to apply one it freezes.
i was wondering if anyone would like to lend there expertise so that we can get this to work fully.
im pretty sure the only problem is that it may be too big for the g1, so anyone who can edit a .apk send me a pm or comment.
edit: below are images proving i have it installed.
all i get when i click grass is a preview and that white is when i click nexus or anything else.
I wish I could help, I don't know how to open and edit apk files. It's probably the resolution, of the wallpapers. It could also be the drivers in the rom. But I don't know much about the Android rom structure. The live wallpapers work perfectly on my Windows Phone 6.5.5 HTC Touch Diamond, that's running XDAndroid-The same android running on the Droid.
getting live wallpapers was pretty easy to get working on stock 2.1, im trying to get them to work on 2.1 with sense ui
Oh okay. Don't know much about Sense UI. The Droid does not have Sense UI. But do you know anyplace other than the Market to get Live Wallpapers?

[Q] Does your HTC Flipclock actually flips?

I've read some about it and that's way i've taken interest in it and found out that my rooted wildfire stocked 2.1 flipclock doesn't actually flip. But to others they say it flips.
What about your wildfire?
Mine doesn't flip. ):
This is because wildfire don't support animation..
Great
And no lwp too

Actually Wildfire supports animation....go to menu/settings/sounds & notifications/animation and there you can choose the various settings.....none, limited or full

Still the clock doesn't flip though?
I'd say it has to dow ith the ROM itself. When I first got my Wildfire, it was running the Vodafone 1.25.something. When I started mucking with it and flashed to the stock 1.37.405, the clock no longer flipped.
Clock doesn't flip because htc does not allow in sense ui 2,0 but new htc sense ui (Desire HD) support it again...I hope you undersud me..sorry about my bad english.
Just checked FW 1.37
Animations enabled but it just changes the number, no flipping at all.
Been wondering about this as well, nice with some clarification.
would be nice to see, if someone could make it, port it or however that works.
My desire or wildfires 'flip clocks' don't flip either
Are there any work-around to make it flip?
tried messing around with the zip file from thatdudebutch who ported the htc flipclock from desireHD, and flashed it on my wildfire. The clock actually flipped, but since it's a different resolution, therefore it's too big and messed up. Dunno how to convert it into a lower resolution, anyone interested in porting it into our wildfire?
would love to ... but I cant code!

I resized the images.
However if I needed to edit also the xml files, I found out I can't edit the xml files with a normal text editor.
See if it works.. My phone isn't rooted anymore.
Downloading now, will post result later after I've pushed it on my phone.

Live Wallpaper on wildfire (Froyo)

Hi
Why don't my wildfire running on Froyo display display the live Wallpaper ?
How do I use live Wallpaper no my machine ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Can look for them in an android-market
I installed them from android market but still they don't work on wildfire.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Its because they are not officially supported. You need a custom ROM which supports them, and since you are on official 2.2 release, I guess you cant do anything about it.
Official froyo release conspicuously left live wall paper out of the rom, cause of the hardware limitaion, u can only get it it from wildpuzzle, cm, and sunnab roms
CM save me from froyo. lol
Thanks a lot...
i'm using CyanogenMod 6.1.0 (Stable) for HTC Buzz (Wildfire) || Nightlies now up (2.2.1 - AOSP - no Sense) by HCDR.Jacob... i still aint getting live wallpapers!!
Any reasons why??

I don't use that ROM personally so I wouldn't now but a simple easy little search in the thread for that ROM gave the following answer. Many times. Maybe you should read/search that thread first...

Verizon Xperia Play App Drawer?

Hey guys, i'm going to be purchasing an xperia play (my first android/smart phone whoo!) soon and I've done my fair share of research over this phone and i've gone to the verion store to check it out, and i like it a lot, but there's just one thing that bothers me. What happened to the app drawer? I know it's stock gingerbread therefore it should have the same app drawer that the Nexus S has, but it doesn't seem the same, the reason I say this is because when you scroll up and down through the apps, it doesn't give you that "cube" like effect, what happened?

does that really matter? there is a million launchers on the market that can emulate that cube effect in the app draw, and imo have much better effects too, just download one

Download the Gingerbread launcher, push it to /system/app and delete the default launcher. Problem solved This isnt ios You know
I don't have the Verizon edition so could be COMPLETELY wrong but perhaps it's enable-able in a settings?
Even if not the other comments are right - think of it this way. It's not that it doesn't have the cube effect, it's that you need to install it via the market - Launcher Pro or Gingerbread Launcher should both have it (ADW too maybe?)
If you get that phone you can definitely get the effect your looking for

Sounds more like it would be a property in the Launcher2.apk file. You can extract it and search if you want.
