Yes, i know they arent enabled by default, but after reading this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253502) thread i figured i'd give it a shot.
And i missed.
Im using a RHOD300 (tilt 2)
i downloaded the
Attached Files
LiveWallpapers.zip - [Click for QR Code] (347.8 KB, 45 views)
extracted them to my desktop, then placed them into the root of my SD card, then I ran haret and booted into android, then i loaded up terminal emulator and followed the steps (noted that im doing the "on phone" method) and sure enough there was indeed a new "live wallpapers" selector. however, whenever i try to use a live wallpaper, it force closes. (i even tried using livewallpapers i downloaded from the market, but that didnt work either) after rebooting to see if that was the problem, the same instance occured.
Thinking of a workaround, i saw that they were .apk files, so i this time placed them into the android app folder (where all the other .apk files are) and hoped that would work. and it didnt. So im at a loss as to what im doing wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Edit: i dont think this would make much of a difference, but im using GO launcher ex from the market.
Edit2: 52 views!? i guess Live Wallpapers is a pretty attactive saying
I've had the same issue. It worked for me at first but then kinda force closed after sleeping. Afterwards it wouldnt start back up. I've done the ADB method aswell same issue. Let ya know after some adjustments if it works.
After much testing...
i have tried...
-deleting frx07.1
didnt work
-doing it on gingerbread
didnt work
-extracting files to multiple places, (android apps folder, android folder, root of the sd card)
Didnt work
-rebooting multiple times, in a desperate attempt to get it to work
as expected, nothing.
-accidently clicked "wallpapers" instead of "live wallpapers" and thought it was working...
Then i saw nothing was moving...
Well for the moment, i give up.
i'll try to tackle this again tomorrow, hope someone else finds a solution!
You should check out the android official website. read up on the commands for the terminal and stuff. If you've ever used any linux build youd learn the terminal for android fairly quickly. i got it working modifying the mount command. i'll go back and write a guide for using the terminal for android. in depth guide on what each command does and how to use it effectively. i'll post it in the android dev section in a few days

Glad to hear you got it working I still havent however :/ Where do you have your Livewallpaperpicker located? (i assume its the root)
Also, was it as simple as changing mount -o, remount to something like mount -1, remount?
And just making sure, the guide your talking about... will it include how you got this working? or will you post that here?
EDIT: found something interesting, i renamed my data.img and created a new one. i have the same files and everything (including livewallpaperpicker) and on my new data.img i dont have the live wallpaper option (as expected).
yet, when i use my other data.img (on i was using before) i have the livewallpaper option. a little confused as to why this is
I'll include the live wallpapers in my guide. I have everything in the root. I will find an alternative for you. but as arrrggghhh said it isnt guaranteed to work for everyone. will let ya know what i find. i have a spare tp2 so i can see if it works on there as well.
Another thing to note, when I'm using terminal emulator I do all the steps, but sometimes it will find LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and sometimes it won't "file or directors not found" I believe it says

It'll never be officially supported. I even stated it will be slow and horrible to use... It was officially supported, and people griped about how slow it was. So the option was pulled - it was that bad.
yeah its still bad. the hardware for the tp2 just imo isnt built to handle it.

After many test I managed to get Silk to work on a different OS. This worked on CM7 for Kindle Fire. If you get any errors please post.
Here is the link to the spreadsheet. Please check to see if your device is supported!
Install Tutorial:
1. Download the pack here.
2. Use Root Explorer to copy the lib files to /system/lib set permissions the same as the others.
3. Install all of the .apks like you would side load.
4. Copy the com.amazon.cloud9-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app
5. Reboot and enjoy
Check out this post from theverge! Here!
Edit (7/8/2012): Removed dead download links. All installer seems to be lost forever. If anyone still has the file please PM me. There is now no more spreedsheet editing. Most devices are listed so check it out.
Edit (1/6/2012): Made and Uploaded Silk Installer. Please read the directions in a later post. This is my last post for this project but I will still support it if people have erorrs.
Edit (1/4/2012): Updated SilkPort with puneet_champ's apk. Also Please stop screwing around with the spreadsheet.
Edit (1/4/2012): Updated Silk Pack/Added new mirror. (Removed Account and Sync) and Cleaned the post.
Edit (1/4/2012) As suggested by Cobracat03 you could try OTARootKeeper to use Amazon Prime Videos. If you can login to your amazon account through the Account and Sync settings post your method here or PM me if you can't post.
this worked for me on cm7 thanks!
This worked on my ATRIX also. Interesting. I used everything but the account and sync aol because it would have replaced one of my files and I didn't want to do that.

Thanks so much for this! I've been patiently waiting for someone to do this! I tried myself but couldn't get it to work right.
Edit: I followed the instuctions, except I couldn't replace the accounts and sync, I haven't tried to manually do it via root explorer. I didn't think it worked at first, I tried to open the silk browser it FC'd on me. So I reset my kindle and it's working like a charm
It appears that the AccountAndSync.apk may be needed in order to get Prime videos working. Currently it doesn't recognize one as a prime subscriber.
The Silk Browser has the 'Accelerate Browsing' option checked (active) and greyed out (cannot deactivate).
Overall works well... Thanks!
Edit: I renamed the existing AccountAndSync.apk and added the one from the package. Still cannot find a way of adding credentials that are recognized by the VOD app. Currently it says that unit is not configured properly for playing videos when a video purchase is attempted.
Works perfectly! Thank you! Now is there any way you can port the stock rom keyboard? That would be great!
I'll look into allowing Amazon Video. Don't know about the settings in Silk.
Updated the main post with more info.
got the libs moved just fine. couldn't install any of the apk's. got a parsing problem each time. any ideas? i'm using a rooted optimus v with the bumblebee rom.
Try installing the apks in adb.
appreciate the help, but it still failed. i received the following on the terminal when trying to install the apk thru adb:

Edit: You might not have to install account and sync settings. You can pick.
Edit2: I don't have cm7 installed so I dont know if it works but replace the following in build.prop
ro.build.fingerprint (Try this one first, if it does not work change the next one also)
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=generic/blaze/blaze:2.3.4/GINGERBREAD/6.2_user_3003020:user/release-keys
o.build.description
Code:
ro.build.description=blaze-user 2.3.4 GINGERBREAD 6.2_user_3003020 release-keys
If this doesn't work then you will have to sit tight because I am going to install cm7 on the first to fine tune this port.

Yes it does. Tap the screen then hit the menu button. Mine has font size, face, and line spacing controls. At least on this Fire running cm7.

I did notice however, that the KF version of the Kindle app renders books differently from the stock app. Also some books will not load at all on the Kindle App from the google market on the KF. I ported the KF Kindle app onto cm7 but I'm stuck because I cannot login into my Amazon account from cm7 (cannot register device)
For one, I could not install Accounts and Sync (anyone know how to get this installed?). Another reason I was thinking this might be failing is because Amazon expects to get a 16 digit serial number from the device during registration. My guess is the cm7 build prop does not provide this and so the registration fails. Thoughts?
I found it.

it's not actually called silk.apk, it's called com.amazon.cloud9-1.apk. move that one and you should be good to go.
I just got a refurbished A100 earlier this month, I had wanted something that was able to be used
has a GPS when traveling, and a Android PC when at home when attached to a HDMI monitor,
the Android PC setup works well with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, however the Microsoft
bluetooth mouse that I have stops working after it sets still for a bit, and I have to manually reconnect, I
hope to find a mouse that auto reconnects or does not time out, the only other problem I have
with the Android PC setup is that one of the HDMI TVs I have, an old Sharp 720p TV, the TV I needed
to use for this, the top and bottom of the screen are cut off, and this TV has no adjustments for that,
but the A100 works good on a newer Vizio 1080p TV that I tried.
Here are the steps I took to unlock, root, install recovery and CM, copied from my notes.
I installed the drivers and rooted the A100 using:
Full root for A10x and A5xx ICS. Simple method.
I noticed that at this step my superuser will not update from within the superuser app.
I then unlocked the boot loader using this:
[How to] Install unlock bootloader for A100/A101
It happened so fast that I missed it and had to run the commands
"fastboot oem unlock"
and
"fastboot reboot"
after getting back into the bootloader using the Quick Boot app.
I then installed TWRP from:
[RECOVERY] [OFFICIAL] TWRP 2.2.2.1 for Acer Iconia Tab A100
then used TWRP to wipe and install CM10 from:
[DEV/WIP] CyanogenMod 10 Preview
and the Jelly Bean optimized Kernel for A100 from:
[DEV] [KERNEL] UNOFFICIAL - Jelly Bean optimized Kernel for A100
and the Gapps file gapps-jb-713.zip from:
http://d-h.st/I1K
After logging into my Google account and downloading a filemanager,
and letting it do a few updates, I used TWRP to make a backup from
my real SD Card.
I then ran/installed "jb-mount-swap.sh", Crossix's mount swap modded for CM10 by pio_masaki,
got that from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29592981&postcount=101
I put the "jb-mount-swap.sh" in "/etc" then changed permissions on the "jb-mount-swap.sh"
to give it everything, I then updated BusyBox and Superuser, and used Script Manager to
load "jb-mount-swap.sh" on every boot.
UPDATE
"jb-mount-swap.sh" Should be placed into "/system/etc"
The next problem was the touch screen sensitivity was crazy and the tablet was hard to use,
It was not like that in ICS.
I found this:
[Q] Screen too sensitive
And tried this first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22777698&postcount=65
I used "Acer Liquid Settings", found the app over at:
[APP] Liquid-settings v 1.3 final
and it sometimes worked but I still had problems, so I tried "TouchRecalibrate"
from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20189952&postcount=52
and seems to work a little better.
Tips and Fixes:
I had the CM10 launcher Trebuchet endlessley crash after changing some CM10 settings,
so I wiped the Trebuchet settings by going to "Settinga/Apps/All/Trebuchet/Clear data"
I then downloaded and installed a different launcher, I used Nova.
If you change the lcd density the Play store might start showing "Your Device Is Not Compatible With This Item"
you may be able to fix by going to "Settinga/Apps/All/Google Play Store/Clear data", and doing a reboot, you
may also have to change the lcd density back to the way it was, on my a100 its set to "160"
You can load a TEXT file from the Android browser by typing: "file:////mnt/external_sd/YOUR-TEXT-FILE.TXT"
or "file:////mnt/sdcard/YOUR-TEXT-FILE.TXT"
I had some wallpaper problems until I placed the wallpapers into "sdcard/media/wallpaper"
and used the APP "image 2 wallpaper"
My Problems:
My GPS doe not work, I have tried all the fixes that I can find, but my GPS just will not work, I have tried
[DEC.05.2011] Instantaneous GPS Fixation v1.2! *FOR ALL ANDROIDS PHONES!*
[GPS][Fix] Automate long term orbit data download
AGPS Patch Iconia 3.1 & 2.2 | GET BACK TO RAPID GPS LOCK, CAN LOCK ONTO MORE SATS
I have been using GPS Essentials and GPS Test to try and get a GPS lock, I never get anything, I tried with and
with out a case, I tried leaving it set out side for about an hour, it never got any satellites.
GPS UPDATE
My GPS now works, all I had to do was re-flash the ROM, Kernel, and Gapps, I made a backup
before I re-flashed my rom using TWRP, and restored "Data" only from that backup right
after I re-flashed, that restored my APPS, and passwords.
HDMI and Bluetooth Mouse UPDATE
I found a HDMI to VGA converter that works well, it also outputs audio, here is the link
SANOXY HDMI to VGA and Audio Converter (Support 1080P, Input HDMI, Video Output: VGA, Audio Output: 3.5 mm-outs)
It only converts HDMI to VGA, it does not scale anything, but the video and audio are both good,
however video is a tad soft looking, might be the cables I am using, you do have to adjust the monitors
settings, but I was able to fill the screen, I tested a a few monitors with the converter box, the Viewsonic
vs11354 I have worked fine, an old NEC LCD1560NX did not, and the Sharp 720p TV that I had problems
with HDMI, worked well threw its VGA with some screen adjustment.
I also got a Motorola Bluetooth Mouse SJYN0817A, it works well and does not die on me, it also pairs
without a pin like the Wii Remote controler, it was cheap, I think they are getting rid of them.

I knew about both guides, but this was from my own notes, that I wrote for my self,
I take notes on stuff I do like this for two reasons, one is if I screw up, the other
reason is if I forget.
I often use the Web browser to open a text file containing my huge WiFi passwords
and such, so that I don't have to retype them, this is done before I have a
file manager, and often downloading and installing a file manager is the next
thing I do.

I appreciate your addition to the A100 forums. Several of your links are broken on my end. As for the GPS, I would suggest a full wipe and reflash as a starting point.
Edit : I'm assuming GPS was working fine on stock?

I got the tablet refurbished and then let it do the OTA updates, the very next thing I did was
root, install recovery and CM, I only used it about a day or so with ICS and only installed what
I needed to, I never thought to test GPS, I guess I can try to backup, then wipe and reflash.
Thanks for pointing out the bad links.

I swear that TouchRecalibrate does nothing! lol
I had to do some google searching and there are a lot of reports saying that you must follow the instructions carefully, and than it says recalibrating and does nothing, no matter how long you let it set.
I may be wrong.
Now Liquid Settings, I set the sensitivity to 0 and it did help.
Thanks for those! Pretty cool.

I get two problems with sensitivity, touch is too sensitive, and I get rapid touches from a single touch,
TouchRecalibrate does seem to help, but not completely, as it seems to help the most with the rapid
touch problem, and not very much for the sensitivity.
I also would not doubt the pseudo effect, but from what I understand the TouchRecalibrate APP is made
for the ViewSonic gTablet that seems to share the same resolution and CPU, its just that the screen sizes
and PPI are different, so there is a possibility of it working.

Cool man glad it fixed it for you. Enjoy
I just had something odd happen, I started having trouble changing the wallpaper,
then the "jb-mount-swap.sh" stopped working, some games and apps also stopped
working, and it froze and then spontaneously rebooted on me a few times, I tried
rebooting and changing the directory of the "jb-mount-swap.sh" file thinking I had it in the
wrong place, I tried placing the file in both the internal and external storage and rebooting,
I even made sure the permissions were correct, then out of the blue the A100 only booted
to a blank screen, and would not boot into android, so I booted into recovery, factory
wiped, installed CM10, the Jelly Bean optimized Kernel for A100, and Gapps, then
restored my "Data" from my backup, and it seems to be working, I wonder what happened ?
If the mount swap is removed or stopped from running it can cause allot of issues with apps. The mounts go back to normal so apps lose their data and info and go insane.

I had the storage card problem again, shortly after the last restore, this is what I did to fix it.
I put "jb-mount-swap.sh" into "/storage/sdcard1/" and made sure the permissions were correct, I then
checked Script Manager's "List" it showed a few phantom "jb-mount-swap.sh" from when I tried using
other directories, so I deleted all of them, then with Script Manager I selected "SU" and Boot" icons for
"jb-mount-swap.sh" and pushed the "save" tab, I then updated Superuser and BusyBox, and its working,
hope it stays that way. :fingers-crossed:
You do know that's supposed to run from /system/etc? I'm surprised its working at all considering you're remounting the partition its sitting on.

I had put "jb-mount-swap.sh" into "/etc/" not "/system/etc" I wonder if thats why I had problems,
it does seem to be working good in "/storage/sdcard1/" I have not had any problems, but I will
move "jb-mount-swap.sh" over to "/system/etc" to help keep any future problems to a minimum.
/etc and /system/etc are linked, so that's fine.

"jb-mount-swap.sh" stoped working after I moved it into "/system/etc" but the superuser APP shows
that it gave root to SManager just after boot, and when I use SManager to run "jb-mount-swap.sh" I get
"mount: Device or resource busy", I then reboot, and the "jb-mount-swap.sh" is working, so I reboot again,
and "jb-mount-swap.sh" stops working, its does this:
(1) "jb-mount-swap.sh" not working
(2) Reboot
(3) "jb-mount-swap.sh" is working
(4) Reboot
(5) "jb-mount-swap.sh" not working
Did you update smanager to run it in the new location?

Just for a test, I copied the "jb-mount-swap.sh" to another directory, then deleted
"jb-mount-swap.sh" in "/system/etc" I then made sure that "jb-mount-swap.sh" was
not listed under SManager's "List" or "Favorites" then I copied the "jb-mount-swap.sh"
back to "/system/etc" and set it to run with SManager again, I still have the problem,
so the next thing I tried was using SManager to change the "jb-mount-swap.sh" file
permissions, so I used SManager to remove all the permissions for "jb-mount-swap.sh"
and then add them back, rebooted a few times and it still has the problem.
I tried reinstalling SManager, did not help, I tried using ROM Toolbox to run the script at boot,
but still have the same problem.
