I'm interested in getting the Ocean waves live wallpaper on my Galaxy S2, the one that Samsung Galaxy S originally had by default. Found it on the market, but it doesn't work. It crashes before loading when i try to select it. Is there anyone that has a working version or can anyone report that it works on their Galaxy S2 ? Thanks

I'm suffering the same problem as well. I contacted the samsung apps, but no one replies.
that wallpaper is really amazing
help please
some dev can port it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
yes the ace users also want this live wallpaper .... so we r with u
+1. Me too !
I have an evo shift, and I loved this wallpaper as well when I had android 2.2. Unfortunately, when I upgraded to 2.3.3 it stopped working, same force close error. I read somewhere else that this is because the libraries that this wallpaper uses are incompatible with android 2.3.... Also, because I am not a developer and know nothing about programming these things, I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. I'm hoping that somebody can get this wallpaper working on 2.3 soon, because it is beautiful and I would love to be able to use it again.
Great substitute for Ovean Waves live wallpaper
Since I haven't been able to find a working version either, I came up with a substitute.
Install Touch Ripples from app market. Be sure to get the paid app so you can change the background picture.
Set ocean waves.jpg (attached) as background within the wallpaper app. Move the size sliders (at top) all the way to the right for the best picture.
You'll want to play with the settings to get the ripples just right. At least we can have a look-a-like until samsung updates the wallpaper app.
+1 for ocean waves
This is the best live wallpaper
It rocks very very nice wallpaper, thanks!
I miss all of the SGS wallpapers. This, Aurora and Blue Sea

I miss those wallpapers too!
Ive loved the Samsung LWP since the original Galaxy S...essentially the issue with many of these ported Samsung LWP is that they do not work at all on 2.3 and will only work with 2.2. I have tried several ways to try to install them however as far as I know looking at other threads regarding to these LWP is that the Samsung LWP was relatively integrated into their framework, in part with TouchWiz, therefore cannot be ported easily. HTC Sense is also relatively the same with only one that I know of which works perfect with 2.3 but requires relative changes to the root of the phone (does not work on Samsung but worked on all other HTCs). All the others FC unfortunately.
Koi free live wallpaper is equally good and its free.
Nice water effect.

Hello Guys,
This can be worked in ODEXED build roms only. The name of Wallpaper is "Secretwallpaper1.apk" with a odex file(I have renamed to .txt, please rename to .odex extn). Find the attached file & push both files in /System/app with rights of -rw-r--r--. then reboot.
If anyone can Deodexed the apk then it will be wonderful.
Hope it will work.

As some of you might have noticed, the lates 2.2 build from Samsung deleted some of the stock Android Live Wallpapers. I'm for one missing them, mostly the one with the water and autumn leafs floating by.
Is there anyway of getting the stock Android wallpapers back on my Galaxy? I've noticed a apk-file in some places (in XDA too) that should install them:
http://androidforums.com/android-themes/63536-stock-live-wallpapers.html#post862912
But for me, it dosen't install at all, just cancels the installation progres. Any ideas?
So I managed to install the livewallpapers.apk by downloading root explorer and going to system/app and deleting livewallpapers.apk and livewallpapers.odex files. Then boot and install livewallpapers.apk.
But now I don't have any livewallpapers on my phone, it dosen't even show on the wallpapers-section! How do I undo the damage, is there anyway of returning the original ivewallpapers.apk and livewallpapers.odex -files to the system-folder?
thank 151515
Hi...
Have you found the way how to get it back. The water and Autumn leaves live wallpaper is the best one in my opinion..

The autumn leaves is definetly my favorite too. The #1 reason why I'd like the stock wallpapers on my phone. I'd be great if there were a single apk-file that would install the autumn leaves back to my Galaxy S.
So to answer your question: I did get the stock wallpapers back. For a while at least. I did like I said in my second post, and managed to make them appear and work for a while. Then a day later I noticed that they didn't work properly anymore. They still were there, but when I selected one, the phone showed only blurry animations that didn't work properly.
So I had to paste the original livewallpapers.odx and apk -files back. :-(
Hi everyone! I've been desperately looking for a LWP from S I9000 but in vain. I remember it was pretty colorful: a turquoise sea with sand, sea star and seashells. It was so beautiful and I really miss it. Can someone help to find it? Thanks!
Can anyone post the link of Movie Maker app which is in galaxy s 2?

Yh, id also like to see the version from the S2 posted here.
I think the version for the S2 might be slightly different as the video editor from samsung apps only works on the 2.2 roms and not the 2.3 roms.

You can find the complete system folder from galaxy s 2. I tried to install email.apk and video editor.apk but it doesn't let. I also copied them in system/apps folder but still doesn't show up in the app drawer.
I don't know why it can't even install. Maybe someone has to port it?
The interface and functionality is superb for Video Maker on the S2. The only problem -- and it is a big problem -- is that the transitions do not work at all well. It's not at all smooth doing a dissolve, for example, and even just cutting between two clips on the timeline, and rendering into one movie, causes the second clip on the timeline to start from a "paused" position for a second, when it should be a competely smooth transition from one moving clip to another moving clip. Really hoping Samsung can fix this ... it's v v smooth on imovie for iphone4 with lesser hardware.
I like the clock app from my "old" SGS2.
It has alarm, world clock, stop watch and timer in one app.
Does anyone know if i have a chance to get it running on my Galaxy Nexus? Or does it require Touchwiz?
I tried copying ClockPackage.apk from an SGS2 ROM and an Galaxy Note ROM (because this one should be optimized for Galaxy Nexus resolution) to /system/app/ and match permissions. Also tried clearing cache and dalvik cache und remove the original DeskClockGoogle.apk.
Unfortunately Samsung Clock App does not appear in the app drawer.
I'm using Pauls deodexed Ir4 ROM.
Any ideas?
If Devs wants to check, here are the apks:
SGS: http://www.multiupload.com/TV704SULWH
Galaxy Note: http://www.multiupload.com/N7SC5W7892
hopefully can see this apk soon...

Did you change permissions. That may work.

It probably requires custom Samsung framework, aka TouchWiz.

Yeah, maybe it requeires Touchwiz. But if this would be case shouldn't it at least appear in the app drawer?
Would be nice if a Dev could have a look at the apks and tell us if it really need Touchwiz or not.
Has anyone else tried to get it running?
Yes, I would love to see that clock too! It reminds me one I had on HTC phone (part of Sense).
Now I have to use separate stopwatch when boiling eggs which is not great.
It's amazing there is no all in one clock app in the Market yet, like the one we had on SGS2 phones.
i can already tell you it is indeed TouchWiz dependent.
and i agree, Google needs to do more work on their widgets, specifically the clock. there should be a copious amount of options imo, including digital, font/color changing, as well as a timer, stopwatch and world clock.
still lots of stuff they can add. they're getting there, just slowly
Very bad news, but thanks for clearing it up, mrvirginia.
If someone can modify it to work without TW or knows a similar app, please let me know.
Would like to see it too. Clean and simply GUI with all things necessary! Nearly
I love that clock, specially the smart alarm that gently wakes me up. I would like to have it working on CM9. I'm trying and if I get it I'll let u know. But if someone achieve this pls let us know!!
Google should even link the calendar and tasks in someway to the clock when setting alarms. But at least a smart alarm with nice sounds and widget with custom options at least to contrast background.
There is a new effort to port touchwiz to ICS. I am trying to determine how to get the clockpackage.apk to install on it. I am using a captivate rom with the port backed in.
The thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456724

Yeah, the clock on my SGS2 was just great. I've had to roll with multiple other apps just to take the place of that original clock
I also miss my day/night/weather Wind Mill live wallpaper.that was the best.

Hey y'all.
I did a search and didn't find anything.
I was wondering if there were any possible way to get the pink Galaxy live wallpaper and the Grass live wallpaper. Those were pretty much my two favorites and they're not included on ICS.
Thank you and merry Christmas all.

I'm sure if you google it, you can find the .apk files for those and install them regularly on your phone and use them

I don't think it's a separate apk like the others are. I think it's bundled together with an apk called Android Live Wallpapers 2.2. I did a titanium backup from my moms Vibrant and plan on trying to load the apk but I'm reluctant in fear of screwing something up. An alternative would be the Live Wallpaper from Beautiful Widgets and it's the exact same thing. Tried it myself and it ran like **** and lagged like hell.

I got the apk files from the nexus one thread and tried to install the apk file in system/apk (root), it tells me it will copy over (join) the files. Opening live wallpapers.... nothing happend. So disapointed. Im going to look if i can make a galaxy apk myself. But im by no means a coder so don't hold your breath.
Any luck finding it?
Did anyone manage to get the grass livewallpaper in ICS?
I just took a screenshot of the Beautiful Widgets Grass Live Wallpaper, cropped it and used that instead. Saves battery and looks good to me!
I just like that the background changes color during the day. During the day it's nice and bright and easy to see but at night the background is dim so I don't piss off my gf in bed.
Does it really use that much battery? Anyone know of any other backgrounds that change color? I don't really care about the grass moving.
bring back the grass! galaxy was pretty cool too. ive been trying to find these to but can only ever find ones which want to replace system application which sounds a bit dodgy.
Hi all,
I just had two questions relating to the Galaxy Nexus which I bought a couple of days ago
1. When I receive a text or email, on my old Galaxys S2 it used to have a number next to the icon. For example if two people had text me, the number two would show up next to the text message icon informing me. This doesn't appear to be happening on my Galaxy Nexus. Is that normal?
2. One of my favourite widgets on the Galaxy S2 was the Mini Paper widget. I've got the .APK for it, but it doesn't seem to install on the Galaxy Nexus. Does anyone know how this widget can be installed?
Hope someone can help me out
1. That is part of touchwiz, the Samsung equivalent of Sense on HTC devices. The Galaxy Nexus is a pure Google experience device, but you can find widgets on the Android Market that will give you badges for SMS/Email.
2. That APK might need the touchwiz framework to work, no idea though.

Thanks for the reply ZeroBarrier.
Regarding the first question, I just wanted to make sure that this was universal to all Galaxy Nexus' and not just mine LOL. Strange how this feature doesn't exist though as I thought it was very useful on my S2.
Regarding the second question, if anyone does know how to get the Mini Paper widget working on the Nexus Galaxy, please let me know
Regarding the Mini Paper widget, have you tried ColorNotes from the market? Not EXACTLY the same but gets the job done

I've tried ColorNotes but didn't really like it to be honest mate. The S2's Mini Paper
I feel is the best quick note taking widget out there. Everytime I try installing it, the process just fails
Surely there must be a way to make it work? It's only a small widget LOL

So it's not possible at all then to get this widget ported over to the Nexus?
I heard somewhere that Touchwiz widgets require the Touchwiz framework.
*cough*
The same goes for Sense widgets, Blur widgets, and any other manufacturer-UI widgets.
