A very good news ~ Galaxy Tab email.apk working perfectly - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

I try to port the Galaxy Tab email.apk to my i9000 international version with an exchange 2003 account, after use it for a day, it work perfectly.
PS.: I'm using Tayutama Edition v1.0.0 [I9000XXJPM] Rom + OCLF 2.2
Attached the email.apk (Change the name to email.apk)
Just put it into system/app, reboot and re-setup the email account. and it's done.
Remember backup the old email.apk before you try. And try it on your own risk.
Update : Bug : the bottom of the email list is NOT visible

Just tried it, although it doesn't install
Is there any reason it does not install?
Looked at some youtube movies to see this email app in action and I think it's a GREAT replacement for our original mail app!

No need to install. I only pit it into system/app. And it's done after reboot.

What exactly is the difference with the email app from the sgs?

well you have very small hands
BTW what's difference with the untouched tab email app. It did run also very nicely on the Galaxy S (see Captivate forum). Did you fix the issues? Like no exchange support, problems with unsecured pop servers (port 110), problem to see the last lines of a email.
Tell me you fixed all those issues and you're absolutely my man!

I run JP6XEN on my i9000 international edition and installed this apk by renaming the original files to Email.apk.original and Email.odex.original (not renaming de odex creates a fc on software start) and moving the new apk in place.
The TAB email client looks really beautifull I hope you continue to port it a little bit further though ...
Since I use my phone for work it is really important to have a functional unified inbox/calendar for the 6 email accounts I have to manage.
Allas this version does only sync with our exchange 2003 server messages older then 2 weeks nor does it sync any subfolders not even the sent folder.
I hope I am doing something wrong or it just takes a really long time to sync
1) Is there a way to force resyncing in the software other then through the settings/accounts menu of froyo?
2) Is there a way to enable syncing more data then just a single month (is that even possible in the default mail client)?
I currently use Samsung Social Hub (the other nice unified inbox) and it keeps losing its e-mail every once in a while forcing me the retrieve the last 3 months again. Do more people have this problem?
But again I appreciate your efforts in porting this really nice mail client.

btw, how to copy to system/app
I realllyy cannot find the folder.
Sry for being a newbie at this. Tried searching the forum and google, though no succes.

Doesn't work for JP6 (with OCLF).
After change and reboot the eMail-App won't open - just the "bad vibrations".
I tried it with adb-shell.
cp /system/app/Email.apk /sdcard/backup/
and then copying the new email.apk
cp /sdcard/APK-bunch/email.apk /system/app/
Edit: Ok after deleting the odex File it works, totally skipped sargasso's post in the first time.

@Ingmar89: If your phone is rooted you can use adb to mount the system partition read-write, and move to the /system/app directory where the files exist. Place the file on the internal sd and ...
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
cd /system/app
mv Email.apk Email.apk.original
mv Email.odex Email.odex.original
mv '/sdcard/Email (1).apk /system/app/Email.apk
sync
reboot
---
BTW on my phone the bottom of the email list is NOT visible so this software is not functional (for me).

You have to install it. There are a few issues so I've uninstalled it and put back the original apk.

I used ur method an although the email.apk is replaced (checked it with root explorer) the mail app doesn't work.

Are u shure that you deleted the odex file? i had the same problem but now its ok.The best way is to delete both files with root explorer and put thgis new file back again

Okay, app also confirmed working for me.
A little more laggy than the original app, though it's still a great replacement. It looks way better and also loads my email a lot better (they now look like they look on my pc.)

Works well on the SGS, althought it's taking a bit of time loading my hotmail emails.
Would love to see more development on this, we could implement it to further ROM releases instead of that shoddy one provided with the SGS.

[Q] how to install adobe flash to system partition?

Hi all,
I'm trying to install adobe flash to the system partition to save space. I've done it by adding the flash apk and libs to the gapps addon (required for CM6 anyway).
I can see in root explorer that in /system/apps I've got com.adobe.flashplayer.apk, and in /system/lib i've got libflashplayer.so and libysshared.so.
Under settings->applications I can see that Adobe Flash Player 10.1 is present.
In browser settings, Enable plugins is set to "on demand".
But when I try a flash site that used to work, it no longer does. What am I missing?
Thanks for any help,
Phil
It seems if you leave the .so files where they were in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib, eveything works. So it looks like the app doesn't bother to check /system/lib, but goes straight to its own data folder.
Any way to remedy this? I've saved 4-5 MB on /data by moving the apk to /system, but the .so files are 8MB between them, i'd like to get them on /system as well.
Before flashing a ROM, move the APK file into the /system/app folder in the ZIP file and then re-zip it

Hi Eddy, that's exactly what I did as I said in my first post. It didn't work initially, but I now have it working by restoring the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib folder with the two libs in it.
So the apk is in /system/app, but there are still these two big libs on /data taking up about 8MB. I was wondering if there is any way to get the system to pick them up from /system/lib like with all the other libs.
Cheers for any help,
Phil
I just have the APK in /system/app and it's fine - got over 100MB of storage (but I only use 5 apps and have them all moved to /system/app)
really? can you do me a favour and check in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib and see what you have in there? Should be one huge (~7mb) .so file and a smaller one.
you definitely have the latest flash 10.1 final? version 10.1.92.8? (check in settings->applications).
I'm thinking of creating symlinks in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib to the two files in /system/lib and see if that works.
Yes I do have the latest it's there by default in Paul's MCR r8 ROM (first thing I did once it was out) - he normally has it set to go to /data/app but I move it (and the other 5 apps) to the /system/app folder and it's fine...I'll have to install Root Explorer again to check the folder, though...
EDIT: Checked that folder, there's nothing in there at all...
Oh. Huh. Can you check and see if they're in /system/lib? I wonder how paul's got this set up. Should probably just ask him
What file(s) am I looking for?
libflashplayer.so and libysshared.so. Cheers
libflashplayer.so is, libysshared.so isn't
ok thanks for your help i tried the symlinks and it works for now although i guess its a bit hacky. Don't know why yours picks it up from /system/lib and mine won't. I'll see if I can get one of the elder gods to give up their wisdom

Had the libs in /system whith fresh MCR r8 ROM .. once i upgraded via Market to latest version they were also in /data/data.
So is there a way to get them to /system again (so that they will really be taken from there by the apk) ?
I am S-Off so the moving itself is easy ;-)
Marcus
soory if i dug an ol thread but i cant make it work...
copy the apk file to /system/app via root explorer and reboot...
in settings/application/manage application/all/
Adobe flash player is in it but it is only 56kb..
set browser for enable plugin to be 'on-demand' and 'always on' but no go (tried surfing on adobe flash mobile showcase site).....
to think i am thinking to move adobe air using this method too..
what else is needed?
Running Nexus One, CM6.0
Hi everyone!
I see this thread is a a bit old, but I've been trying to do the exact same thing with installing Flash Player in /system. My device also won't find the libs in /system/lib, so I'm thinking about doing the symlink stuff as well, but I'm not quite sure how to do this, since I don't have a lot of linux experience. Could you please help out a little?
Will this work?
Code:
ln -s /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer /system/lib/com.adobe.flashplayer
Also, just to check: is there anything else I should do besides copying the libs Adobe Flash installs in its /data/data folder to /system/lib and creating the link?
Thanks a lot!
Not needed to make symlinks.
Just create folder /system/lib/plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer and move libs to it.

[GUIDE] 11/22/2010 - Restore Swype after upgrading to CyanogenMod

If you were like me, you rushed right into installing CyanogenMod. Whoops, found out there is no swype installed. What to do?
Hopefully you made a nandroid backup like me. I didn't want to do a full nandroid restore just to extract the files. So I did this...
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
UPDATED 11/22/2010 - Okay, some people have requested a "newbie friendly" solution. I have created an APK which will help automate this procedure, without the need for ADB. If you have already applied CyanogenMod, then use this APK to select an older Clockwork Backup that has your licensed Swype. It will then extract and install the files for you. I have only tested on the G2.
http://www.mediafire.com/?j7dnv321ej0mrch
I'll possibly do some updates to:
a) cache swype for future installs (to make restores super quick)
b) add other extractions of 'your' saved files (i.e. google apps)
c) add more options for handling cache/files/etc.
I hope this helps. Enjoy!
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# How to recover your swype files from your nandroid backup
# Quick and dirty extract
# Prepare a staging area on your computer
mkdir nandtmp
cd nandtmp
# Copy your old nandroid (pre CM) backup to your staging area..........
# i.e. /androidbackups/clockworkmod/backup/2010-11-01.02.02.02
cp $WHEREVER_OLD_IMAGE_IS/system.img .
# extract files...
unyaffs system.img
adb remount
# Push the swype files back to your Android device
adb push ./system/lib/libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/
adb push ./system/app/Swype.apk /system/app/
# Some users have had issues with not seeing Swype in the options (possibly non read/write system?), so they just installed the APK. If you install it, make sure the lib file has been pushed first.
# i.e. adb install /sdcard/Swype.apk
# Update permissions for good measure (may not be needed)
chmod 644 /system/app/Swype.apk
chmod 644 /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
# I rebooted, but have heard reports that it is not necessary
adb reboot
# Now in Menu>Settings:Language & keyboard unselect the Android keyboard and make sure Swype keyboard is checked.
A similar process can be done directly on your phone.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope that helps others restore Swype (or other files they desire) without having to do a full Nand restore.

Did you push libSwypeCore.so to /system/lib yet?
For some reason it still doesn't show up in the keyboard list, any idea why?

Ok, what you're supposed to do is, you actually have to install the swype.apk. its not enough to copy it to the /system/app directory adb install Swype.apk or use root file explorer click on the apk file and choose install.

or you can open up cyanogenmod(unzip) and download a stock g2 rom and then just put the files in the proper places, then zip cm again and flash(i did this all from my phone ast night because i was too lazy to go to the computer)
have you tried to go to swype.com and signing up for there beta testing. Not sure if still open but does not hurt to try. I reinstall from the beta testing website and is working great on CM6.1 on my G2

Be more specific. What have you done so far? Did you go into Settings > Keyboard and enable Swype yet?

Yea, it wasn't there, again, in my case pushing it in to the /app folder did NOT work, I had to intall the apk maually like any other app. Of course only after pushing the lib file.
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib
adb install Swype.apk
Unyaffs is supposed to work on windows? I didn't know that. I use linux, you sould try it and get used to it, it would save you a lot of trouble.

Hmmm... I saw the swype in the settings after doing adb pushes and a reboot.
In reality, I had unchecked both Android keyboard, and Swype keyboard. Then went to a text field, and got a request for Android input. I then went back into settings and checked Swype, and then it just worked. I didn't need to install the APK. For those not seeing swype as an option, did you confirm that system was remounted and that files were copied? Did you reboot?
As for unyaffs, I was lazy. I just downloaded a binary for OSX from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7931772 . I haven't tried a Windows version of unyaffs.

wilnotdie - You should be able to do this directly on your phone, as well. Of course, you would need to mount your system read/write and cp files versus adb push.
i.e.
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
cp /sdcard/nandtmp/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
cp /sdcard/nandtmp/system/app/Swype.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
Hope that helps.

Oh mybad, not that way. Was thinking of using the phone as my linux box instead of a pc. In theory it should work, just need to compile for use on the phone?
But Im guessing its not gonna be this ez lol
I didn't do any ADB pushes I just used root explorer to move the libswype file to lib directory then used the installer on the root explorer to install and it loaded right up for me. Only problem I'm getting is the double tap to edit isn't working now for some reason.
I pulled the files from the ota_root_noboot.zip from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836042
Okay here is what I did and it worked. Using SU File manager (found in the market if you search "root explorer") and on the stock ROM, copy the lib and apk files from /system/app and /system/lib. I copied them to the root of my sd card. Wipe everything and install CM and the addon. Grab SU File manager again and find the lib file on your SD card. copy it. There are two little buttons on the top of SU File manager with an S and a D. I pressed both of them to mount system and data as read/write. Go to system/lib and paste the lib file. Verify that it is there and since there are so many files sort by size its like 998kb. Then just use SU File Manager or astro or whatever to find Swype.apk on your sd card. Install it from there. With Astro click it and "open app manger." Then go to keyboard settings and enable it as an input method. Go to swype settings and it should not FC if you did this stuff correctly. Set your settings and enjoy! Oh yea dont forget to uninstall and refund SU File manager
Hey Jkoenig00 did you have any issues with the double tap to edit?
Worked flawlessly and now I have swype running on CM. This should be stickied or something!
So for those of us who don't know what ADB is or how to use it...
are we screwed?
Is there a noob friendly method?

You can use root explorer. Download one of the stock roms. Access it through root explorer and copy the 2 files from the stock rom folders to its respective folder on your device. Then install the apk from within root explorer. Set everything up in your keyboard settings and your golden. Can be done in minutes.

Email.apk without Exchange Restrictions

*Includes version for Android 4.0.4 now*
I know some people do not like the remote management restrictions that are applied to their Android devices when they hook up their Email application to Exchange.
Many enterprising developers have developed Email.apk's that ignore any remote management restrictions without limiting access to Exchange email. In other words, you can use your work email without having to put a password into your device, or encrypt your data, or whatnot.
Now, I do not advocate you do this; I don't do it. If you do it and get caught, you may very well be fired!
In any case, if you're still interested in this, then you may download the modified Email.apk's for 2.3.5 and 2.3.6
Instructions:
1. Make sure you're rooted
2. Using Root Explorer, in /System/App rename Email.apk and Email.odex to Email.apk.bak and Email.odex.bak (needed in case you ever need to restore the original)
2. Extract the appropriate zip file for your OS version that you've just downloaded
3. Take the resulting Email.apk file and copy it to your device
4. Using Root Explorer, copy the new Email.apk to /System/App
5. Reboot and set-up your Exchange info again, you should not have any restrictions any more!
Note: I do not take credit for this. I used rustamabd's excellent Email.apk modifier at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452. I'm just providing the modified Email.apks specific for the Captivate Glide for your convenience.
Moderators: This should probably go under Development, but I do not have access. Could you move this?
Moderators?
It's now been updated for ICS by the way.
Will these APKs fit Samsung SGS1 (stock GB 2.3.6)?
4.0.4 fail
Hi, I tried above procedure on my 4.0.4 (HTC Sensation). Could it be there is no 'Email.odex.bak' in system/app?
Just renaming the Email.apk and copying the version from the zip did not do the trick for me. No email client shown after reboot,
Renaming the original Email.apk did restore the client.
Edit: cas my rom is deodexed that's why. Got it to work through another procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452 (don't forget to change file permissions as set on original .apk files :fingers-crossed
I'd recommend to use TochDown, as soon as it is not free you can try the trial version.
It also allows to get his calendars events outside of the app, so it really convinient.
A word of warning:
If you handle information your employer considers confidential, there's a very good chance that their IT department will find out that you're using this hack, and it's very likely to result in your termination, which may even be followed by legal action. Opt for IMAP/POP3 if at all possible; if Exchange is a requirement, request a company-provided device.
Be careful out there.
I am using Samsung Galaxy SL GB2.3.6 and tried using the email app which you have enclosed.
But when i replaced my stock email apk with your email apk, i get an error "email app force closed".
Only one difference I found out is, my system/app folder didn't have email.odex file.
Could you provide some suggestions
Thanks

[Q] Note 2 Gallery/Lockscreen wallpaper help

Had the bright idea to delete the stock gallery app while clearing bloatware. Unbeknownst to me, that was needed to set the lock screen wallpaper to anything other than the stock wallpapers. I use quickpic instead. Now I can't set a picture as the lock screen background (I can change wallpaper).
I've tried reinstalling the gallery, but when choosing to set the paper from the home screen, the gallery option does not show up. Is there a way to again associate the gallery, or an alternative app to do so?

Had the bright idea to delete the stock gallery app while clearing bloatware. Unbeknownst to me, that was needed to set the lock screen wallpaper to anything other than the stock wallpapers. I use quickpic instead. Now I can't set a picture as the lock screen background (I can change wallpaper).

I'm no expert, but have you restored gallery back to /system/app or did you just click on .apk and chose to install it? Because if you installed it, it went to /data/app - maybe that's the reason it does not function as it supposed to?
And second, try to run it as an app - see if it starts in first place, maybe there's something else missing. Perhaps you deleted odex file as well, and because of this it does not start?
Just did a little experiment - restored apk and odex files back to /system/app - and option to change wallpaper appeared again. No reboot needed.
Move gallery apk to system/app and set the permissions to rw-r-r aand reboot.

I believe you both are right, as I just installed like normal. Noob issue though, when I go to copy and paste the apk into system/app, I get a permission denied message. I'm rooted of course and granted es file explorer su privileges, so I'm not sure why. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help

You need to remount /system as read-write, just like you did before removing apps (if you removed them manually). Go to your terminal emulator or use ./adb shell get superuser (by typing "su") and type: mount -o rw,remount /system
After that you can move files to*/system. Just don't forget to reboot or remount /system as read-only when done.
Root explorer allows pasting and permissions changing. I'm not sure I'm using the right apk. I had a nexus one that installed and worked (though not able to change lock screen). I uninstalled it, and installed 2 different versions of the Samsung app. It never gets recognized on the reboot like the nexus one did. I assume I'm using the wrong one. Any link to an official one? I am on 4.1.2 stock.
Thanks again

I'm using 4.1.2 stock, so here are files from my /system/app:

Good luck, and let me know if this helps.
P.S. Next time you clean you ROM, just move files to some location (for example your PC) Comes in handy later, I know that from my own painful experience

Any specific way to install it all back? I put everything back in system/app and rebooted. Nothing changed, it's not installed, and Android didn't "Update Apps" on the reboot. I try to install it with package installer like any other app and that fails. I've tried your odex and mine (which was never deleted).
That's great advice!

Background working :)

Things can be just so easy.
after trying a while with framework-res.apk i got rid of the usual black background in launcher by just setting
<bool name="config_enableWallpaperService">false</bool> to true in res\values\bools.xml
compiled it back and updated it via cwmrecovery zip installation
Also livewallpaper are working.
UPDATE: Thanx to @superkoal
Xposed Module
but u still need the files from next link to get them working:

just install via cwm. for sure do a backup before.
i'm not responsible if something went wrong, with this installation.
ALSO Do A BACKUP of your original Framework-res.apk!!!
Also don't forget to install Gallery.apk or livewallpaperpicker, else it is not possible to select any wallpaper.
so after a factory reset i wanted to try it again.
sems that i might have installed some other parts from another rom, like systemui.apk-

What is the difference between the two downloads? I downloaded the first one, but have to wait an hour before I can download the second one. Should I install the second one and not the first?
I'm having trouble installing this with CWM. I have my system and data mounted to an external drive and CWM doesn't access it. It keeps saying folder not found, then it reverts to what I assume is the original internal data folder on the FTV itself. I'm not sure how to access this internal folder now using a file explorer. Any thoughts that don't involve messing with unmounting my external drive?
**Edit** I manual replaced the framework-res.apk using root explorer, then realized I needed to install your second files as well and now it works prefectly! No more black background for me. I've got a spinning galaxy and stars!
Thanks for the work on this!
That are good news,
thanks for reply....
now i also got rid, of some amazon apps. now have around 127mb /system free storage.
removed ftvlauncher, whisperplay,gamecircle,demomode and a few other things with titanium backup.
also stock launcher switcher worked now when press homebutton. Can someone pm me a few aosp 4.2.2 stock files from settings app and from tablet? i get crashes in settings.apk maybe i have to install a few more stock apks, that don't come with aftv in stock.
btw. Tabletui is working with adb shell am display-density 240
settings.apk is in splitscreen (crashes in different accesses). played around with some themed xposed modules and lolipop theme.
will try the next weeks, till i got my setup finished ^-^

That is cool that you're testing the limits. Tonight I plan to make a video about my setup. I've used a lot of the various mods/tweaks available for the ATV and have a kick ass setup.
Manually?

so just push the framework-res.apk to sdcard and replace it w/ the one in the system folder? because I did the install via cwm to no avail and I installed the 3 apks in the background.zip manually
be sure mount /system in cwm manual. should work, or replace it manually via fileexplorer and to be sure
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
and don't forget to have a backup via cwm to be safe...

I am curious what Amazon apps you've removed and what other mods you've done. Can you update what you've been up to with the FTV?
I only made a backup of all amazon apps, i might to remove, with titanium backup before i uninstalled them.
f.eg. amazon app store, circle, movie, mp3, photo (installed gallery2.apk from a 10.1 cm stock rom) installed clock.apk from rom to exchange amazon screensaver and replaced it with a clock. but i messed to much around, so i had to go back to my backup i generated with cw recovery
also deodexed apps and framework files to get a little more space on sys. also deleted files under vendor/amazon (here are the overlay-files stored.
sadly i'm out of time for this week to extend my tsteing in getting a full settings.apk working wich i had before i messed up while replacing all system apks from a cm 4.2.2 rom

That screenshot looks awesome! I want to try it when I have time. But I also noticed you have ROM manager installed. I never even thought about using it, probably because I have twrp on my other devices. How's it working for you? Are you able to use the stock remote?
That's a much better option than plugging in a USB keyboard every time you want to do something in recovery.
Took me a while to get it straight, but below are my simple instructions for us that aren't fluent in all things Android...
Download schybiorz's files from this thread.
http://uploaded.net/file/8awolkyk
http://ul.to/oqs87yb6
Extract "framework-res.apk" from the zip file in the first download above. Copy the "framework-res.apk" file to your FireTV. I used AGKFire.
Extract and install the apk's from the second download above. You can just click on them from ES File Explorer if you've pushed them, or use AGKFire or whichever method you use to sideload apps.
I also installed the "Gallery.apk" file, downloaded from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953999
Backup your FireTV "framework-res.apk" file. I used Root Explorer from the Play Store. Navigate to the /system/framework/ directory and copy "framework-res.apk" to your sdcard somewhere to save as a backup.
Connect to your FireTV using adb from your computer and type the following commands:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb connect [FireTV IP Address]
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/AGKFire/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit
exit
Then, just reboot your FireTV. Take note, in the cp (copy) command above, the copy-from location (where I have AGKFire) needs to be where you have the apk file on your FireTV. So if you have it in the root of the sdcard, the command will be as follows:
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I tried to flash schybiorz's zip file using cwm, but for some reason, it didn't replace the "framework-res.apk" file, which is why I did it manually as indicated above. I also didn't do a cwm backup, so proceed at your own risk.
I use Nova Launcher, so I have to use a mouse to pick wallpapers from LiveWallpaperPicker or the Gallery, but live and static wallpapers work wonderfully now though!

Needed this!!! Thanks for the detailed instructions, because I tried before using a mouse I copied the original framework-res.apk and put it in another folder, then pushed the downloaded framework-res.apk to sdcard...but got an error when copying the downloaded one. so now I guess I can just go ahead and run the command cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk and it will copy it?

You will have to enter the commands as I listed them...well, as far as I know. I did quite a bit of Googling. You must make the system directory writeable, which is the reason for the "mount -o rw,remount /system" command. Then, the chmod command sets the permissions once you have copie the modified framework over.
But I did just notice that someone made a xposed wallpaper enabler module in the 'FireTV Themes and Apps' forum. Which may be the better way to go...easier anyway.

You can also use any 4.2.2 wallpaper and live picker apk you want. no need for mine. but feel free to upload them on another hoster.
Important is the fact, that the wallpaper service is enabled in framework-res, wich is now easy done via xposed-module ^-^
