Installed Livewallpaper for Legend What about lockscreen? - Legend General

Hey guys so Ive installed the Live wallpaper hack from XDA i think it was the Rodriquezz rom patch for live wallpapers on the legend..I got it working and everything i was just wondering is there anyway to use it on the lockscreen too? Because when I go to settings to change lockscreen wallpaper i dont see a live wallpaper option as i do with normal wallpaper for the homescreen...
thanks

That's if you have Froyo. Because then, there will be no option to change the lockscreen's wallpaper, and it will use the one you have on your homescreen instead.
It makes sense (hurr not really but sorta pun) to flash a 2.2 ROM instead, because I assume this hack requires you to already have your device rooted.

Well, Im rooted lol I used the tut from paul at modaco, I guess im on froyo? Because i can change the lockscreen wallpaper, i just dont have the option for live wallpaper.

Rooting doesn't automatically give you Froyo. Unless I misread everything you said.
Sorry if I did.

hmm..k lol sorry for my nubness -_- this is the tutorial i used...http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-r4-htc-legend-rooting-guide-now-with-1-31-x/
so what rom am i on right now then? and did you happen to know how to nand unlock and get r/w access?

You're still on the ROM you installed during rooting. It's nothing special, thank goodness it's not Froyo either.
Now you can flash a custom ROM through ROM Manager and enjoy Froyo from there!
EDIT: Oh yeah, installing custom ROMs wipe everything. And there are specific instructions for each ROM too. Look for ROMs and special goodies that you can use with ROM Manager in the Dev section of the Legend's forums.

yea i actually tried Cyanogenmod it was nice but i diddnt like it much, so i rolled back..what else is out there? Im running the stock rom that came with my phone originally now...i have tons of apps and my contacts in it so its gonna be pretty ***tty putting it all back on a new rom

There's cryshop's American mytouch roms for the American t mobile devices, and the one I'm using, Blayo's ROM

download "App Backup & Reinstall" from the market, reinstalls every app you have with a small backup file. Cache and settings are lost though...
And for your contacts, you van backup them to a Vcard (.vcf file) in Contacts > Menu > Import/Export
Titanium Backup is an option aswell since your device has root acces already.

Couple questions about Cynogen and settings.

Hi, I am currently running Cynogen 4.0.4 on my rooted Mytouch 3g. I used the one-click method to root it. I also downloaded the 4.1.11.1 to my computer just incase. Do you guys think I should go to the 4.1? Is is the same? How do I upgrade and will I lose all of my apps if I upgrade?
I was also considering to just go back to stock because Cynogen got stopped. Will Cynogen ever be making new Roms? If not should I be going back to stock because I just want to have the newest features and updates but still have a fast phone.
Just one more question now about settings, I have the Hero keyboard but I activated the touch vibration when I type and now I want to disable it. Everytime I disable it I start typing and it comes back. How can I fix this? Thank you.
You can't upgrade to Cyan 4.1 at the moment as he has taken his downloads offline because of the legal dispute with Google.
I would recommend RogersRom 1.5 (see my signature) if you want a fast rom with Cyan's kernel, compcache, betterbrower etc. personally I would not go back to stock as the mods made by the devs here at xda are worth keeping.
Not sure about your keyboard vibrating ... have you enabled haptic feedback in Spare Parts? You might need to turn it off in there as well as in the touch input settings.
Haptic feedback is DISABLED so I don't know what the problem is. I will just uninstall and reinsatll the hero keyboard. And just to be sure Cynogen is done completely with roms? If so are there any other good roms besides Rogers that are not hero. And how do you install a new rom on top of the Cynogen one I have? Thanks for you help.
to change roms just wipe and flash over it. as for Cyanogen I don't think he's stopping anytime soon. check out his website..cyanogenmod.com
read his updates,
he's still in full force.
There are several ways to get the cyanogen roms =P... Just do some search =P...

Problem with installing live wallpaper in wildfire

Hello peoples.
I'm new here, and sorry for my bad language =).
I am facing an issue with installing the live wallpaper in my htc wildfire. I have already go thru some similar threads actually, but I still decided to open a new thread to state my problem clearly. I'm sorry if I'm wrong to do so =).
I've actually found a nexus one live wallpaper ( with I'm desperating for ) in this forum. However, after I installed the .apk file, nothing happen. I have tried to launch it from astro file manager and it says "Activity not found".
At home screen, I choose to change wallpaper, and the live wallpaper doesnt appear there. Same goes to home, htc sense and my lovely ADW launcher.
I have seen people using that livewallpaper in youtube videos, so it should be usable for wildfire right? What is wrong?
Your replies and views are greatly appreciated =). Thank you
If you're using stock ROM, Live wallpappers are not supported. They are supported in custom ROMs.
and finally there's a reply from you guys T_T.
thank you so much buddy.
stock rom means, the original rom comes with purchase? ( i guess so ).
thanks for your info =)
Yes indeed, stock = original rom.
If load a custom rom to my phone & don't like it, would I able to load the stock rom??

[Q] Question about ASOP ROM

Sorry for asking such a question, it's hard for me to follow XDA, there lots of pages. So basically, I rooted my phone, JIT my phone (benchmark ~710) but I still feel that it's somehow lagging and I wan to make the best of it. I pondering whether to install 2.1 Custom ROM ASOP or Froyo 2.2.1 AOSP ROM.
I more into gaming, music, video, facebook etc so I don't think Froyo will be suitable for me since there's lot of bugs such as cannot install certain apk, no camera (don't know still got what). What about 2.1 ASOP? With it be better compared to now? And there's three version (full, light, ultralight). Which one should I install?
And is it replacing the original ROM or just another ROM (meaning I can switch back to the original ROM anytime).
FYI : I wish to keep chinesetextinput, JapaneseIME, PhoneBook, mediascape. I already using Launcher Pro Plus so I don't need the Launcher Pro launcher
Thanks in advance!
Don't install either of those roms time as they are not finished and can't really be used for everyday use .

sit tight mate, they (Jerpelea) is about to release v5 of his AOSP 2.1 ROM - and he says that the dialler is working.
also, thank you for not posting in the DEV thread!!! you have no idea how frustrating it is looking for bug reports in that thread now - i feel so sorry for J and Z
edit: just re-read your first post. Are you sure u need to keep mediascape? there are better alternatives that are provided in vanilla (AOSP) android, that do not get so intrusive in the system. The AOSP rom is a complete flash, so you have to choose to use it or something else.
The full, light and ultralight are NOT AOSP ROMS either so you know, they are customised SE roms that can be used with Zdzihu's recovery menu. These CAN be used with your existing ROM in a way, but you will need to juggle backups and image files. can be done, but takes about 10 minutes to change. Safe and works, but a little clunky
First of all, backup everything u want! Titanium backup ot even the .apk on ur SD or PC
I am running both...
2.1 custom AND 2.2 custom, i cant make any calls on 2.1 -> reboot to 2.2
Cant take pics from camera -> reboot to 2.1
...
It works fine for me
My quadrant results:
2.1 ~720
2.2 ~2200
Thx for posting a new thread and not spamming the dev thread...
Edit: yes, u can go back to original SE rom, just use the link for the .504 version in the first post of 2.1 custom rom thread
Sent from my Nexus One (x10 custom ROM) using XDA App
@mrtim123 : Thanks but can you futher explain what you mean recovery menu? So you meaning the ASOP will replace the current ROM while the customised SE roms can be use with the current ROM anytime?
From the custom ROM ASOP thread,
They stated:
Not working
-video playback is not using hardware decoder for some formats
-camera settings crashes
So the dailer is already working?
And will remove mediascape result in problems in the future? Heard from some thread that it will result in problems.
@PoTi_96 : It's kind of hazzle to change here change there. I prefer one ROM rather than 2.
I know but the dialer wasnt fixed, now im just running 2.1

I installed asop 2.1 ver b006 last night and now i have about 17 hours of usage. I belive that it is almost a rom for a dayly use. Bugs i experienced so far are camera settinhs giving FC, some minor problems with downloads on build in browser,all fixed with opera. It comes half rooted but can easy root with z4root app, i could not find the gallery but after instaling the app from this forum ( gallery 3d) i am more sattisfied then with mediascape timescape or any other SE program. I find it verry snappy and belive you should try it after a backup with titanium. Another beautifull app is the recovery.menu witch is the best. All the best
Sent from my AOSP on Xperia (US) using XDA App
Pardon, I have no clue when coming to such things. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The recovery.menu is it a kind of application that help you flash your phone? So I have to keep pressing back when the Sony logo came out to go into recovery mode and install the ASOP ROM? And the Global ROM is to revert back? So I had to install both ROM?
However since stated that it's not possible to call people, how is it possible that the ASOP can be used for daily. I don't mind about the camera since I don't really use it.
P.S I already download the ASOP ROM for the main thread.

Thank you for your reply. One more question before I start on it. So when you say switch between, when I switch will it remain the same or it will be a completely fresh ROM?
For example I now using ASOP ROM and wan switch to the original ROM and if i decide to go back ASOP, will all settings be gone?

When you restore, you will get back state you were in at backup. Same settings, same apps.
So meaning, I can keep the setting of the current Sony ROM. So if i chage to ASOP and decide to change back I can have the same settings?
And if i decided not to use ASOP anymore, I can just delete both the original and ASOP ROM at my SD card?

If your wife's phone is rooted and you install this, you will lose root. If that's not a big deal, then go for it.
does the update delete everything on your phone?
if so, how do u backup/restore stuff? and how do you get the apps/games u purchased back without rebuying?
any other issues to know about? does the update reinstall att bloatware? do i have to put it back to stock to update?
i rooted to uninstall that stuff and to be able to install 3rd party apps, but never used a custom rom.
i'd really like to be able to use my 8gb sd card for apps since i have no space, so i am thinking of updating now and rooting later once it's available.
Why does everyone pay for apps that's what 4shared is for :-D

If you are already rooted, then you should seriously look at and consider Liberated Aria FR008. This ROM is based off the European Gratia complete with HTC Sense and does not have any AT&T bloatware, has an OC kernel and also used Dark Tremors Apps2SD which is much better than the native Froyo App2SD feature. If you like HTC Sense and want the Froyo 2.2 features, then this is the ROM to use.
If you choose to install the AT&T Froyo 2.2 update, it will wipe your phone clean and you will loose root and you will be stuck with all of the AT&T bloatware with no way to remove it.
For apps that you bought and paid for in the Market, these apps are tied to your gmail account, so if you reset your phone, you can reload the apps from the Market without any additional charges.

Yes, flashing a new ROM will usually delete anything currently on your phone. If you are rooted, You can use "My Backup Root" to save your apps and settings, text messages and phone log and then restore them after you flash a new ROM.
Here is the official thread about CM 7 RC1:

Yes, if you backup with myroot, you have to reinstall myroot from the Market and then you can restore the backup. Flashing a new ROM will not wipe anything on your SD card.
For contacts you can export them to your SD card or sync them with your Gmail account. If you export them to your SIM card, the CM 6/7 ROMs cannot read them off the SIM card.

CM 7 is based on Android Open Source Project code. It is almost as pure Android as you can get UI and interface wise. You can still customize the UI with widgets and such, especially if you buy some from the Market. So bottom line is with CM 7 you can customize the phone however you like.
HTC Sense is the UI that is built into the stock Aria and now the AT&T Froyo update. That UI uses special widgets developed by HTC to enhance the user experience and these widgets only run on an HTC Sense ROM. Will you miss Sense? It's hard to say. It's really a personal preference.

i dont think i'll miss it after reading some more on it.
so do i have to start off with the original update-cm-7.0.0-RC1-Liberty-signed.zip
then update to a nightly, or can i just start off with the most recent nightly? wasn't sure since they are about the same MB size.
also, what about this app2sd dark tremor thing. do i need that? why is it better than the regular app2sd?

You can just flash the latest CM 7 nightly, but you need to follow the installation steps listed in the CM 7 RC1 thread first (i.e. format system, format data, format cache, etc.).
DT Apps2SD isn't as big of deal if you are going to run CM 7 IMO. If you were going to use the Liberated FR008 Sense ROM I would recommend it because it does a better job than the Froyo 2.2 APP2SD.

ok thanks a bunch!!! i'll try this tonight when i get home from work. downloading everything now through logmein to my home laptop.

Droid X - Default

OK guys first off: This is my first android device, and I want it to be as fast as possible.
This being said, I just want either a DEFAULT Froyo 2.2 or default gingerbread 2.3 which means none of these stupid themes that motorola puts on it. Now here is why I'm here:
Is there a way without having to go through like 20 different steps in order to get the default android skin on my phone? I've jailbroken many a iphone but this android stuff is very new to me, so I was also wondering if there is an IRC channel I can go to or if someone would be nice enough to either guide me through or pm me through how to root my new phone?
thanks,
mike

I have been reading the stickies, I've also been reading about the roms and themes but there is some lingo in those posts as well as concerns.
For instance for the themes I've read several posts where it says to just load the themes on a rooted device, and yet others like the wiki here which says that specific themes are for specific ROMS.
Another problem with the stickies is I have no clue when someone last updated them, because some like the one for "Easy Root" or "z4root" MUST be old cause you can not find that app on the android Market place.
I just want to make sure that I'm getting the latest programs and such. I also wrote this because the one thing that me as well as a lot of other people want which is: Default Froyo. I dont want a custom theme, I want stock Froyo in all it's glory! Can anyone tell me of an easy to install ROM or easy to install theme that has this??
P.S. If there is an IRC channel for XDA could someone tell me about it? Cause I cant seem to find it at all

I have read most of that, and I get the first post, but then you seem to completely back track on the second one. I want the default Android skin from google on my droidx, so When you first said root I understood; but then you all of a sudden said that I need to deodex it as well.
This is the confusing part since you say in your post that it already included the root as well. So which should I do? root > bootstrapper > deodex? or just deodex then bootstrapper?
You have to be rooted, then flash the deodexed stock rom in recovery mode (hence the boot strapper). From there you can theme to your hearts content and even change the font if you wish.

Just because an app isn't on the market doesn't mean that it's old and no longer useful. And there are a million guides on how to do this. Just find a recent one and go for it
Alright I've done some more reading on different sites like engagdet and there seems to be a legal program called "LauncherPro" Apparently you can reskin with this program, Has anybody used this program? and if so how good / bad is it for removing blur?
My main concern is rooting my phone as well as getting rid of BLUR cause I believe that will slow it down considerably. thanks!
Unfortunately, launcherpro doesn't remove or replace blur, nor does it change things like the notification bar or lockscreen. Its a launcher app, meaning that it runs over blur, replaces the homescreens and launcher buttons. It's great for what it does but for your purposes won't work.
Honestly, I think the best route for you would be to take the time to root and flash a blurless rom like liberty or fission.

Check out my set up... I have Liberty 1.5 with the Gingerbread Blue theme and ADW Launcher EX.
What about the themes we were talking about earlier? Are those only available AFTER you flash to a ROM? Or are those just available after the deodexing? If so wouldn't that be the best and easiest way to get the stock froyo theme on my phone? or is that like launcherpro in that it just launches the theme over blur?
Also, I've seen your attachments and to be honest I don't like the look of it one bit, I just want a rom with stock froyo or even better stock Gingerbread.
Is there a rom out there with either of those stock? I should be getting my new droid x in the mail by next monday, at which time I'll probably be asking for more help, since I don't want my phone to brick the first day of use lol.
I used the z4 root on my dx. It took a couple of tries but it worked. I went with liberty 1.5 as my first custom rom and I love it. There are plenty of plain roms out there you can try. I just wanted something with a little more umph. Good luck!

Liberty comes with a froyo-ish skin. There isn't a GB ROM out for the X yet, but droid2169 (same dev who does Rubix) is working on getting GB to boot on the Dx. He's getting close on it, but there are still some bugs to be worked out. Had some issues with USB mounting last time I checked with him.
The closest you are going to get to vanilla android is either focused or fission
What is this Vanilla thing you are talking about? Is that the name of a ROM that has default froyo / gingerbread them on it?
Also, I don't know if someone already answered this, but the themse people were talking about before: Are they available right after deodexing? Or do I Nhave to install a specific rom THEN theme my phone?
Vanilla means original android experience or as close to it as the kernel allows. That's how I understand it.

oohh ok
If you want to theme the stock rom you have to deodex your phone and then load theme... if you want to theme a rom you need to load the rom (which are already deodexed) then load the theme.... themes are rom specific ie an apex rom is meant for apex and a liberty theme is meant for liberty... there's guides all over the internet for any method you choose
