Nexus S live Wallpapers - Droid X General

Does anyone have them and successfully installed them on the X?

I personally haven't tried them yet. Will let you know how they run on the X.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872923

I read that after I posted this thread, but they do not work, atleast I haven't gotten them too on my DX.

I have it working on a gingerbread themed fission 2.3.1
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

What method did you use? The update.zip method or did you move the .apk file into the system? I tried the update.zip on my rooted X with the stock ROM and it did nothing.
Edit: I just moved the livewallpaper.apk file into system/app and it still didn't work. Maybe the Fission ROM adds something that lets it work?

Its only one live wallpaper. I manually moved it but don't forget to set permissions.

I used the update.zip file and it shows under live wallpapers as nexus.

Neither the update.zip or manually moving the apk installed this. Im on Apex 1.3 currently.

After you move the Nexus livewallpapers.apk to /system/app make sure to change it's permissions to User: R/W, Group: R, Others: R. After changing permissions, simply reboot and it'll automatically install.
By the way, make a backup of your original livewallpapers.apk (just rename it to livewallpapers.bak or something) before moving over the Nexus version.

I don't get it. I did this as well and it still hasn't installed..lol.

if you're trying the zip did you mount system for installing?

I just tried again and wouldn't install. Still the same LW that were originally there.

The Nexus one is the only one I could get to install. I had to use Fission Rom Manager to load Microbe.
You need to make sure to mount your system before the install as others have said. It might be worth downloading the update.zip again to be certain the full file downloaded.
Just throwing out ideas.
And since it wasn't in the thread this is what microbe looks like. It's pretty cool. you tap to put those little white dots on the screen. the red blue green and yellow microbes swim around eating it getting bigger then budding off into more little guys. there's actually kind of a lot going on. I think that's why it runs a little slower.

[ADDON LWP] Exclusive Samsung Fascinate LWP collection

so i happened to be viewing an email subscription i get when i happened upon this little tidbit. one of the guys from androidpolice ripped apart the facinate pull, and got the LWP's out of em. unfortunately he made it into a flashable zip so i had to manually adb install the apks and the lib file, but you can do it as well! here's the link to those LWP's

originally posted from:Jamezelle and Jcase:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...ive-wallpapers-leaked-available-for-download/
and here's the install instructions:
PREREQUISITES: adb, (dont pm me to ask how to install adb. if you dont know how, you dont need these.) also you need fingers to type with
1.) so you've downloaded the zip, and you wanna install them? well go ahead and open the downloaded zip file with your favorite unzipper. save ALL files somewhere easy to access
2.) adb push the file liblwfa-0.A.2-mng-p1.so from the /system/lib folder of the place you saved the folder to your /system/lib folder
3.) adb install the apks for the lwp you chose from the data folder.
There is no reboot necessary to complete installation, once you adb install, you're done! bam! also instead of installing through adb, you could copy the apks to your sd card, and install through an app installer like astro.
here's a breakdown of which ones which, to give you an easier understanding of what you're gonna want:

To uninstall individual wall papers after flashing you must use adb and the following commands:
adb uninstall com.tat.livewallpaper.layersoflight
adb uninstall com.tat.livewallpaper.forest
adb uninstall com.tat.livewallpaper.flow
adb uninstall com.tat.livewallpaper.connection
adb uninstall com.tat.livewallpaper.luminescence
adb uninstall com.tat.livewallpaper.spark
Thanks for doing the XDA post, I have been extremely busy.

does it work on the Eris
Why are you in this section? It says HD2. *I think* These walls' are 800 x 480, so it'll probably instacrash the eris.
Thanks to the OP, these are nice and your instructions are spot on!
tytyty!
i am trying to figure out how to use cmd.exe and running the android sdk thingy i don't know how to install these lwp
I installed via astro and every one of them force closes
Look nice, but I find they just use too much power and really affect the performance..things become a little jumpy/laggy.

I'm glad you asked I was searching for LWP for Eris on this form and this thread came up in my search. This is why no ones uses search and they just keeps starting there own thread and asking the sames question over and over again. cause if they go to another thread and ask a question that's requires a simple yes or no we get answer like that. Sorry for my rant just see this all the time in many forums. It gets old quickly. anyways thanks for the answer

Couldn't get my swype keyboard metamorph themed...

that is, until now! I'm currently running Fresh rom, latest version with Swype built in, so I was having trouble installing my beta swype (didn't care, stock swype works fine anyway, didn't look into it). I wanted to share what I did in the event that it helps someone at some point.
Anyway, I was having TONS of trouble getting the Metamorph themes of swype to work, as it tells you to look for the swype app here:
data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk
But I simply did NOT have my swype installed there! I tried several things, took a while but here's the method that worked for me, if anyone else is having similar trouble but is too scared to ask about it (being that the given directions make it seem so simple, but you feel dumb when you can't freakin' figure it out!):
1. Go into root explorer, make sure you're in "RW" mode (click "mount RW" at the top if you aren't), and find system/app/ and find "swype.apk," this is where my swype was originally stored
2. Select "swype.apk" and choose "MOVE," and move it to anywhere that you'll remember, somewhere arbitrary that isn't a folder called "app" (this step is in case you screw something up). This is truly a redundant/paranoid step that I chose to do to make SURE that I have the pure, uncopied, original app somewhere safe.
3. Choose COPY and copy the app. Paste this app BACK into system/app.
4. RENAME this app exactly: com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk
5. REBOOT. Make sure swype is still working, it should be. If not, you named something improperly or put something in the wrong place.
NOW you can follow the pre-existing metamorph directions (already available elsewhere, several threads on here). I don't know who has that com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk in their data/app folder, but I never did. Confused the hell out of me. Now my swype looks DOPE, I'm using some naked version, I believe it's the version from Myn's warm, now in my Flipz Fresh rom! Loving it!
Hope this helps someone Photo attached, hopefully img codes work on this site (forgive newbieness plz)

good tips, I would also like to note that people that installed swype via apks downloaded elsewhere and sideloaded will have the apk named as your morph listed in the proper position. The reason why it was named swype.apk in system/apps is because since it was included in the Fresh build, he decided to make it a system app. Placing it in system/app iirc prevents it from being subject to market checks. I had to go the other way around cuz i modified a morph and swype would break after i applied it, so i had to apply it to the com.android version then rename and move it in to system/app
....oh the many versions of swype floating out there.

[Q] Boot animation location

So I accidentally deleted the original bootanimation.zip when I was trying to install another bootanimation. I paste a bootanimation.zip file in the system/media/ folder and reboot but I still get a black screen. I even tried the /data/local/ folder and again same results. Anyone know where I am supposed to be this file as nothing works? Thank you in advance.
Did you set the right permissions before rebooting? It's in /system/media and permissions is 'rw-r--r--'

@androhero I'm no closer than when I got the play, I'm really just an end user with some basic knowledge and how to make this work is over my head But maybe when things get settled with the bigger development things going on one of the brighter heads here could take it on. One could think of freexperia team
Regards Dousan...
Thank you for the screenshot, I applied what you showed me and I am still not getting a bootanimation when I reboot. Still getting black screen. I will try a different bootanimation file, maybe the one I am using is bad or maybe the phone does not like it. Thank you for your help though Dousn I realy appreciate it.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why my bootscreen is not working?

Make sure your bootanimation.zip is zipped up with no compression

Open adb shell and try this

Auto update with wifi on combined with cm7 hboot causes a restart if you have much apps that is going to be updated. Probably because of high data write velocity and small cache.

Clockworkmod Recovery folder reappearing even though I don't use it

I have TWRP installed but when looking through what's taking space on my phone via DiskUsage, it says there is a clockworkmod backup folder that's taking up 2.4GB of space. No matter how many times I delete it, it reappears again for no reason.
This is what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I delete it, the "Freespace" section boosts up to 3+GB. Is there any way to get rid of this? I think I did something wrong when installing recoveries (I had clockworkmod installed at first but promptly replaced it with TWRP)

I couldn't delete the folder so I went into the folder itself and deleted the files individually. Is there a way to completely delete that folder? Using DiskUsage and the Root Browser on Rom Toolbox Pro doesn't seem to delete it. I don't even use Clockworkmod anymore hmm

If you're rooted you should be able to delete it. See if you can change its permissions to read/write. Just delete the clockworkmod folder and subfolders. Don't try to delete /mnt/shell/emulated

That was odd. It didn't work (even if im rooted or changed the permissions) but when moving it to the sdcard partition, it deleted it from there it was successful. Now, its gone and its contents are gone so I have an extra 2.4gb to use on my phone now. Thank you for the help! It's been like this for months.
