live wallpapers help? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

has anyone got an update.zip i can apply to enable live wallpapers at all?
i have my phone set up perfect and just want to add live wallpapers but removed the option from modaco kitchen
thanks

You will need to adb push LiveWallpaper.apk and LiveWallpaperPicker.apk (names might not be correct to very last character because i am not checking them).
update.zip is possible, but i unfortunately do not have time to do it.
I will soon release Pays sparta based rom with live wallaper and few other features so if you are willing to wait....

Guys, I'm new to android. When u say update.zip, what does that mean? Does it needs to be rooted 1st? I have got one live wallpaper that needs to install in Desire. Is there anything I can read on to get more understanding of how to install live wallpaper?
Also, do I need to root the Desire 1st before installing live wallpaper? Thanks for your help.

[Q] Theme Questions (noob)

ok so i have had this idea sence i bought this phone of making a complete rework theme/rom and all the icons, i have been searching around for all the info i need and found some but not all so i am going to post some questions and hopefully when i get off work the main ones will be answered so i can start. i have been dieing to do this for a week lol.
1. i have windows 7, to make things easy should i just dual boot win xp?
2. i want to change the notafication bar but i have not been able to find ware the icons are?
3. I read that i need to sign all the apks i change if i stay with win7 will the program someone made to sign apps work?
4. If i edit the image in the drawable dpi(i think thats the folder) do i also need to edit the XML docs?
5. if i want the rom to install lancher pro by default and set up a custom tray is that possible or dose it have to be changed after you install the ROM?
i know some of the questions might seem stupid but im trying to learn because i really do enjoy tweaking this phone i have been walking around with a notepad all week sketching ideas down as they come to mind so any help would be great thanks everyone.

[Q] building custom themes for dhd and downloadable apps howto ?

hey New to the xda fourms but looking for some information about skinning I got a few questions which I've trolled over xda very little and some other sites that never directly point me in the direction I'm looking to go. I have worked with linux is in the past. ex puppy linux which I was very fond of for user information about anything to do with puppy. but I have just learned from trial and error . anyways my questions are as follows.
1.I'm wanting to build a skin for rcmix 3d ver.4 creating sense 3.5 New look and feel while changing icons for a list of apps besides the skin and sense,how do I go about changing icons/skins in apps I download?
2. what programs do I need to take on this task?
3. I am currently not using linux,using windows7 to do this, is this going to matter? or should I switch to a linux based os?
in the end all I wanna do is change the bling appel of my phone with my own custom look not someone else's idea. a basic point in the right direction would be a big help. I my even post some skins to add to the dhd world.thanks in advance.
I want to ask the same questions:
1.I'm wanting to build a skin for rcmix 3d ver.4 creating sense 3.5 New look and feel while changing icons for a list of apps besides the skin and sense,how do I go about changing icons/skins in apps I download?
2. what programs do I need to take on this task?

If you want to get away the easy way, then:
1. Download rom of your choice (.zip format)
2. Extract framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from that zip file (you'll have to look in the data folder).
3. Go to UOT kitchen and go to file upload tab and then select "upload system files" then upload the ones you've just extracted.
4. Once they are uploaded, you can browse through all the tabs and select things of your choice.
5. When you're finished selecting, go to Sumery tab and cook your files.
6. Wait for 5-10 minutes then go to pickup tab and you should have your .zip ready for that specific rom
7. Flash the .zip
8. Enjoy!
Note: For every rom, the framework and systemui.apk is different so for every different rom you'll have to extract those files from .zip file of that rom
hey thanks,I have been looking at that kitchen cooking but I'm looking for a more manual approach at doing things. can I do that same step guide but manually skin it myself?
how do I manually recompile after I'm done?
I have been creating icons for a little over a week with gimp on windows on free time with a theme in mind looking for more of a one of a kind idea and then maybe adding themes to the dhd network after I get a handle on it, so looking to create theme packs. I been trying to do it with a few apps but I can't get the icons out of the apps to show up when I pull it apart so I figure I'm missing something I would need to go about doing my work. am I missing extensions I need to complete this?

To change the icons in downloaded apps you will need to decompile the apps apk then change out the icon in the app, them recompile. Mind you it will get replaced again when the app updates. A search would lead you to many themeing tuts on XDA

ok ive had a look around, and i think ive came up with a possible solution for you. but im not 100% sure. should you feel willing to try this, do a nandroid back up first!
then follow this guide and i think it will install mulitple new language fonts onto your phone. http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-t...-unsupported-language-fonts-to-android-phone/
This is about to change system fonts if you want differents fonts you must change the name of the fonts to the original file name of android to make it work but thats not the problem. i wanna put in the values-nl into framework-res.apk.
I have manage with apkedit to put values-nl into com.htc.resources.apk but is doesn't work with framework-res.apk.
sorry buddy. fresh out of ideas....
i have tryed framework-flasher now it will boot but many errors shows-up.
please can anyone put in the nl file for me i'm very tired with this file.

Three ways of doing it..reflash rom..done. use adb to push the apk to system/app..easy to do but requires install of sdk to your pc..using a root explorer copy the apk from your sd card to system/app and fix permissions. Use the search bar to find a walk through of either of the last two.
