Adding live wallpaper support - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know all the files needed to add live wallpaper support to original slide rom or is it even possible I'm looking to revert back to stock but I live the galactic core live wallpaper but as of right now all I have found are roms that support them. And yes I've used slidemeroot 2, and 5r1 and slide m all I wasn't is to push the files needed for live wallpapers To work on stock esprimg. Thank you in advance.

its not posible, you need to be rooted, because the stock rom for the slide doesn't have livewallpaperpicker.apk and you cant just install it like other apks

I just installed it with appinstaller on my wifes never before modded slide and I can select live wallpapers but it force closes after I select "the application live wallpaper picker (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly."

I reverted to the rooted slide stock for the 1000KB mms limit and have been adding the extras here and there.
edit. I have a Zip for you to flash on top of your rom in recovery. it will add optimized live-wallpapers and the new cyanogen CM6 boot-animation.. Also because of the slides outrageously fast boot-up you may or may not see the end of the boot animation.

i thank you for this as i have been looking into this as well. this is much appreciated

Have you used a home alternative???

on a stock ROM without lwp support it will not work, the hjome alternatives do not include these tweaks

this is probably a dumb question and I might be setting myself up for a noob drumming... but does this only work with stock ROMs or will it work with any ROM? I have been trying to replace the "Droid" boot animation on Eugene's SlideMR1v4 and have been failing badly. either way I will be downloading this for my mother-in-law's rooted but otherwise stock MTS

if you are looking for a way to remove boot animation then just flash a new one, or put a bootanimation.zip in /data/local if you are looking for lwps with this then you should be able to flash it no problem

So if I add this zip I won't need adw to get LWs? Will I still be able to keep all the HTC widgets? Right now I'm using slidemerootr1.Thanks in advance.

This is only for STOCK (non livewallpaper Roms.) A Launcher like ADW or Launcher2 or whatever is still needed to see the live wallapapers.
this should work on other roms as well.
also if you dont want the bootanimation from cyan cm6 use 7zip to remove the bootanimation.zip from /data/local/ in the zip

Thank you for the replies. You say you have a zip file is it available for download?

Ok so now that we have established that we can add live wallpaper support, how would someone get the new droid x wallpaper and the samsung galaxy s to work on the slide. I'm pretty sure its due to the image size and/or a missing library file, can anyone add to this?

[QUESTION] How to remove HTC Wallpapers?

Hello everyone
I need help on How to remove the HTC Wallpapers.. I have successfully removed the Wallpapers using Root Explorer but the folder option is still there.
How Do I get rid of the folder option??(circled in the picture)

I've wondered the same thing.
I believe it is cooked into Rosie. Different launchers show different options for wallpaper selection.
I expect you would have to open up the Rosie APK with smali/baksmali stuff and change something.

Agreed. I wish all this stuff was more modular, instead of when you buy an android phone you have to not only pick carrier and hardware specs, but also if you want to be stuck with sense or blur or touch wiz or whatever.

are you able to put wallpaper for each screen if so how
don't believe that is possible
Actually it is! Search for multi picture live wallpaper in the market. But you'll need live wallpaper support.

[Q] Flyer Rosie Question

Firstly, I apologize if I'm off on anything I say here and am definitely open to direction. I'm a bit new to the game but have taken a deep interest in the modding community and modding itself. I generally just read from the sidelines but I seem to be in a pickle at the moment.
I am currently running ARHD 5.2.3 (Thanks, Mike!) with several Sense 3.0 mods including the 3D Rosie. I absolutely love it and it doesn't interfere with the mod or anything and the performance is still amazing. Well, I've been thinking about doing an actual case mod with a wrist mount and I remember seeing the HTC Flyer had the 3D Rosie in landscape mode, too. Now I'm aware of BeatMod, the Flyer ROM for DHD, but I'd really like to stick with Mike's ROM. Is there a way to get the .apk for the Flyer Rosie by itself so I can use the landscape 3D launcher or because of resizing and HTC widget issues will I have to use a ROM that is built around the Flyer port?
Im not sure but you can always try it. Download the Beatmod zip, extract it and search for rosie.apk. Do a nandroid, move it to your phone SD card and then replace the rosie.apk thats already there via Root Explorer.
That's true. I might give that a go tomorrow after a good night's rest.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I went ahead and loaded the .apk. It works to an extent before it force closes. Judging by the way its reacting, its having a problem with old 2.1 widget sizes. I lose the dock at the bottom completely (it might be there but below the edge of the phone screen because of size issues), Friend Stream doesnt show anymore, my news widget is off-center to the top-left, and when I go to add a widget via the personalize button everything is a mess and not as descriptive as it should be. When I fumble around and finally hit the right button for widgets and start looking through them it force closes. Any tips on the next step to get this functional?
Doesnt seem like you'll be able to use it without the Flyer ROM then. It wasnt designed for other ROMS and thus doesnt work properly.
BUT you might want to try to find out which kernel is in the Beatmod ROM, then install it to yours. It might make a difference.
I'm wondering how 3D Rosie differs from the Flyer Rosie as I am able to use it on ARHD. I'll probably shoot a message over to Seo and ask about how they modded 3D Rosie to work.

The only thing i can suggest to experiment with is the DPI. as far as I know DHD uses 240 while flyer uses 160. Try playing through LCD density changer as well.
Alright. I'll give that a go. I did read something about that while I was looking around. That could fix sizing but I'd still have to tackle function.

El29 wallpaper fix?

I've seen a thread on here about scrolling wallpaper being disabled with el29. Somebody posted modified APK, yet it doesn't seem to work, other than it allowing for.different dimensions in resizing. Most custom roms have it working, how do you fix it? I'd like to have stock el29 with wallpaper hack .

To my knowledge only miui doesn't have scrolling wp and thats only with certain themes.

Why would Sprint/Samsung disable scrolling on wallpapers?? That's stupid, now many live wallpapers are ruined since you can't see the whole scene.
I would like to know a good fix as well. Even knowing which roms have it enabled would be nice.
You dont need a custom rom to fix it. Just install a different launcher. I use go launcher ex and everything works great, including scrolling wallpapers.
I'd like to keep the stock launcher.
Also when I upgraded to EL29 the microbes live wallpaper went poof and was gone. Had to google it to get the apk to get it back.
Calk 2.8.1 fixed the scrolling wallpaper issue.
+1 I've tried everything to get the scrolling wallpaper back on stock EL29 without going to a custom ROM. I even pm's Calk to see if he could do a zip for that feature, but no response yet.

I like to use tw 4.5 launcher and even though it is custom, scrolling wallpaper still doesn't seem to work. Getting a custom launcher still doesn't let you properly resize the wallpaper, unless you replace the gallery apk.
I appreciate work by all the devs, but there isn't a rom out there that I like too much. Most of them make visual changes I am not fond of, or brightness settings. I know that both calcs rom and blazer have working scrolling wallpaper and are both on el29.
Am using unnamed now, since it is still very stable and fast. Had to disable updates via terminal emulator to prevent el29 from downloading and notifying me every hour. Problem with that is it also disables profile and prl updates.

Bump, anyone? I really hate that my tw launchers nor none of the gingerbread launchers work. I'm not fond of adw, lp, nor.go.
I flashed the AIO mod and it has working scrolling wallpapers. I think samsung disabled it when they turned on continuous scrolling through homescreens. It looks a little funny w/ some wallpapers to jump from screen 1 to screen 7 backwards.
Edit: make sure you flash the "preflash" zip too or it won't work.

Don't want to be "that guy" that brings an older post back up to the top, but if I'm wanting to stay stock (I just got this phone, I've had several other Android phones in the past and I don't feel like messing around with custom ROMS anymore)... there's no way to make scrolling wallpapers work again?
I use ADW EX and if I use "Wallpaper Set and Save" from the market, I can get static wallpapers to scroll, but that doesn't help with live wallpapers.
This is irritating!

Flash the AIO mod and then flash other packages to make it stock again. I did that and now have scrollable wallpaper on my story k build. The only modification I have is crt off animation.

SH-06D Nerv Icon pack

Here are the NERV icons ripped right from the MAGI Home Launcher of the Docomo SH-06D NERV phone.
I"ll add the Eva Framework and SystemUI .png files soon too.

To clear up any confusion, here is the link for the system folder of the SH-06D Nerv
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=148780&uk=1563022666
Alright here are the Framework-res and SystemUI from the SH-06D NERV phone..extracted from their apks and rezipped so the files can be used to replace the .png files your phones Framework-res and SystemUI.
If you don't know how to replace .png on your phone I DO NOT suggest you do so.
Here is the Boot animation from the SH-06D. Install as you would any other Bootani. If you don't know how that is done, Check out Kevinrocks post. I don't have the means to record it booting up on my phone so here's the link to see what the ani looks likes. Enjoy. oh and the resolution is matched for the Note 2 (720x1280)

Well I will try to get these included in a build for you. No promise that it will work but I will give it a shot. How about the launcher and widgets do you have them posted some where? Or maybe even a link to the original rom?
The only part of the original Rom that is available is the root system folder...it's on the Nexus 4 forum...I already have the Widgets working on my phone...I've pushed over the framework and the system ui.. the only thing not working is Magi.
バカバカバカ!
I went to your xda profile and found all your posts so i have everything now. I was thinking about adding it to my source build of mahdi. To get the magi launcher working will probably require major modification of the apk. I have not done much of that before but will give it a shot.
I watched the video and tried the widgets. Personally i dont like them but i wanted a new challenge.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The Widgets are hit or miss with people...I've seen magi work on 2 devices.. a Huwei and a Nexus... but no information on how they got it working. I do know it requires the 3D drivers from the original phone...so removing that requirement should make it work...I don't want to test it on my phone. Trying to get my hands on another device that I can just use for testing.

I've noticed that the screen selector view does not work properly on 4.3 roms..If any dev is interested in making a NERV Rom for the Note 2, please let me know. As of now, I'm running the launcher, widgets and a few various apps from the ICS build of the Official NERV Rom on top of the Swampmonster Rom...The color scheme for that Rom matches up with MAGIHome and the Magi Widgets quite nicely.

Launcher is posted on here...it works, though on some roms the polytope does not show up. If you could build a Rom around the Nerv system folder, That would be very awesome. Having an issue with some JB versions stopping the widgets from updating. Tried changing their oom values with superchargerV6, but they still crap out. This wasn't an issue on 4.3, but on 4.3 Magi wouldnt display properly. maybe you could sort it all out

The device was a Galaxy Nexus. Here's a video of it running.

Here is a quick setup on beanstalk. Only issue is when you add widgets you have to choose widgets option and not nerv widgets or it will fc. I will play with getting all the icons added in. Also I had to set doi as 300 not 320 but that is due to using the nav bar.
