Adding live wallpaper support

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?

in my post silly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7260294&postcount=5
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?

Launcherpro help

I'm new to launcherpro. Any tips or tricks I should know?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
My first recommendation would be to shell out the couple bucks and get LauncherPro Plus. It has a ton of extra features and, in my opinion, the most efficient Facebook widget.
I like the swipe gestures(long press on a dock icon, then choose swipe gesture action...) this comes in handy for reading texts or pulling up your bookmarks quickly.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
launcherpro works great. even the free one is fine unless u like to resize ur widgets or whatever.
customize ur dock, change ur icon arangements
turn off the app drawer icon, and relocate it to ur home button when on home. its just a customizable launcher replacement. do not use 3d drawer.
Why no 3D drawer? That's what I'm using and it works great?

Agreed. Looks fake and overdone. The stock 3D drawer is preferable to it...

MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, there are a lot of settings and customazations in it but you can configure it to change to a different wallpaper by time intervals, restarts, locks/unlocks, screen swipes, etc.

No sir. There are a ton of fee live wallpapers in the market though. My fav is fireflies. I just think it's cool as hell. Anyway, nah, I don't think Zedge has live.
JustPictures (my favorite picture viewer) has a live wallpaper that will slideshow the pictures you save as favorites.

[Q] Best HD Wallpapers APP

Wassup everybody,
Im here looking to see if anybody knows if there is any app that has HD wallpapers that fit well on the G2 withouth having it look a little weird or too close to the wallpaper picture. I know there is a lot of HD wallpaper apps in the market but, the thing is it all says the same but end up having wallpapers with high resolution or something that once you apply it as your background the wallpaper looks a little bit different but in a bad way like all... too close or not perfect idk how to explain it. But what I'm looking for is a wallpaper app that shows the wall papers full hd with the right fit and resolution just like the ones that are put in the Cyanogen mod wallpapers and that comes with the phone. Or if there's anyway I can edit the large pictures myself, meaning size and etc, please let me know thanks...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I use HD wallpapers. Free on Market. Has a good selection.
Zedge is a good wallpaper/ringtone/notification app. Not really sure how HD the wallpapers are, but they look great on my G2.

Why do you even need to do that? You can crop just about any photo in your gallery for use as wallpaper within Android.
Alternately, you can use most any photo manipulation software on your desktop computer to scale/crop the image to 960x800, then copy it to your phone. If you don't have any such software, GIMP is a good, free, open-source one.

here is a link...at around 2 min you will see the rotation transitions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QYQtpzEl7A&feature=related
With all the fancy transition effects with the Go Launcher I'm running, I'm surprised there's no rotation transition effects.
On the OGEvo MikG has adopted this in his Tom somehow. Maybe someone can ask him on how we do this for out phone.
any updates?

Talked to a buddy of mine about this...
There's an app called spare parts that lets you add different animations and transitions to the phone.
He commented that for android 1.5 and maybe 1.6 you could add fancy rotation animations, but for later versions it won't.
It's also not an option in go launcher, though there are tons of other animations.
Maybe this no longer exists in stock android? Maybe HTC had to reinvent the wheel and add lots of custom code to make this happen for their sense UI?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Its in ICS, so I'm sure it will be ported over when we get a rom.
Bump.
So more "Spin" and less brash.
I hope we can get it ported over, looks sweet.
