I have installed livewallpaper.apk but the livewallpaperpicker.apk gives an "Application not installed" error.
How to get em working?
P.S I am using Scoot's Cyanogen Mod 6.1
I don't think you can install it. It must be in the /system partition. IIRC
I'm not sure myself but how about put the apk into an androidupdate.tar inside the /system/app folder, and then apply it to your phone. You can create .tar using 7zip
or, maybe you have a bad file.. have you tried another livewallpaperpicker.apk from different source?

Is it even worth it to place live wallpapers on the screen? I assume that they must use some CPU power so you will probably experience general device slowdowns.

ok what I did,
1. Installed livewallpaper.apk
2. Installed Root Explorer
3. Copied livewallpaperspicker.apk to system/app directory using Root explorer
4. Installed my most favorite Live wallpaper
5. Rebooted
6. No option to chose livewallpaper in home utility menu
I even installed extra libraries I found out from a Galaxy Spica thread, still no luck.
Right now on Not So Super Froyo. Lets see if it works (I dont think so btw)
Edit: not working on NSS as well. Need that Menu enabled. Anyone can help?
I have gotten Live Wallpapers working on my device but I would generally not advise doing so..
Reason for it is there is an extreme slowdown on the device because the cpu is constantly at or near 100%. Also got a lot of FCs due to high memory usage of LWs.
Even tried overclocking CPU to 528MHz and had little to no effect.

Hello, I've been using this rom for a weeks now, and its works very well and the oc daemon is set to 1,1 GHz (the default value). For security (or fear) I set the frequency to 998MHz and everytime I boot up my phone, it returns to the default value!!
So I was wondering, is it possible to lock the default clockspeed to 998MHz, so I dont have to change the clockspeed everytime I boot?
can someone help me???
Using set cpu it's possible to choose "set on boot" for the clockspeed and the governor ...

the problem is that the demon is inside the ROM, I would not, and there were problems between SetCPU and demon
Use File Expert and remove the app.

Then as I manage the demon? I saw that you use the same rom, can I uninstall the application and use SetCPU?
You need to remove both the script and app. Then you can use SetCPU.

Thanks for your time, how do I remove the script?
You need to enable root explorer in File Expert first. After that go to system/etc and you will see folder andrev_oc. Through menu mount File Expert as read/write and delete that folder. Then go to system/app and delete DaemonController.apk and DaemonController.odex
Done.

Thanks! After doing this I can install and configure SetCPU or is it better a reboot before the installation? Little curiosity, if i not install SetCPU or i don't configure it with the check "set on boot" Which clock will use the processor?
Thank you very much for your time
Reboot, just in case.
Default clock. I believe HTC is using ondemand governor.

only these things?
Looking in the thread about the app say they control three positions:
1. navigate to /system/xbin/ and see if there is a 'andrev_oc' file,
2. next navigate to /etc/init.d/ and see if there is '83oc' or 'aroc' file located there (in this position i have "00aroc" file)
3. and finally navigate to /etc/andrev_oc and check if the folder exists and the 6 files for sleep and wake are there.
Thanks Thanks a lot for your patience
Dunno.

mmmm..... I want to set the frequency to 998 but I will not cause damage to the system!
I'm trying stock.zip that I found in the thread of the Rom who are using.......
yeah it works!

998400 MHz is default maximum frequency, so even if you do damage to your phone, it certainly won't be because of CPU speed.
I know it's a bit too late to point this out, but before you do any changes to system, do nandroid backup just in case your poking inside Android won't go well. I also advise to backing up ROM regularly in case of emergency, which tends to occur in custom ROMs from time to time. Keep last two backups. You can more, but one of them is 500+ MiB huge, so it's up to you to decide if you have that much of free space on your SD card.
I have taken and expanded on this thread.
I added the following.

I tried adding the market fixes from this thread but it doesn't seem to work on stock.
To install
rename your current build.prop in /system/ to build.prop.bak and copy this build.prop to /system/ and reboot.
Make sure the file permissions are rw-r--r-- or chmod 644
I recommend using root explorer. Below is the file permissions diagram if you use root explorer to change them.
XX0
X00
X00
All installers include a backup script as of 1-23-2012
If you have an error with the installer. Unplug your kindle wait a couple seconds and plug it back in. Make sure to eject and the sdcard from the computer and click disconnect on the kindle.
Download the automated Mac installer for stock here. | Download the build.prop for stock here.
Download the automated Mac installer for Paul's Modaco stock here.
Download the automated Mac installer for CM7 here. removed for now| Download a build.prop for kindle fire CM7 here.
If you have any suggestions please share them with me so I can add them.
If you wanna buy me a drink for my time go Here.
I'm assuming this is for stock KF firmware?
Correct this tweak is for the stock firmware.
Will this allow the market to show more apps, right now with stock build prop a lot of apps are not available
Nope. This does nothing for the Market. I don't think anyone has been successful in getting the market hacks to work yet.
Permissions?
Are you sure about those permissions? Everything I'm reading is suggesting it should be :
rw-r--r--
Or
XX0
X00
X00
I'm pretty sure. 777 is what mine was pre-editing. I am running the build.prop I have available above and it is working fine for me. I think you may be referring to the default.prop which has the permissions you listed.
Is this compatible with CM7?
Okay, I may have been mistaken. I checked the permissions of my build.prop.bak and they were listed as I posted above so I figured it should be the same. Would permissions change from renaming a file?
Also, I haven't touched default.prop.

I have had problems with permissions changing when moving them to the computer but not sure I'd just renaming them would do it. Are you able to check your active build.prop?

I don't think you should use this with CM. If you want to post a link where I could download a copy of yours I will add the edits and make one for CM. Although I am sure some are already there.

Unfortunately I already replaced my build.prop with the one you posted. I have my permissions currently set to the same values as my .bak and have since rebooted with no issues. Should I be experiencing issues if my permissions are incorrect? Also, searching other forums (for other devices) and looking at the build.prop on my phone (Samsung vibrant) the permissions are rw-r--r--.

For anyone wanting to try this on CM7, don't do it because it doesn't work. In fact it turned the display 90* but still left the touch functions in the area they should be in, took me forever with playing with the buttons and a display that didn't match to get it fixed.

You are correct, rw-r--r-- are the proper permissions for build.prop
Has anyone tried incorporating any of the Amazon build.prop stuff into ones for CM7 to see if they could get the Kindle reader application to allow you to read magazines and other documents that you have set up in the documents of the reader software? I have a few magazines that I do like to read on my Fire and would hate to give them up by switching ROMs but if that was the ONLY thing I lost I would live.
Thanks working great here on stock kindle rom rooted. Seems a bit snappier after implementing said tweaks.

Bad flash do it again... I had the same issue updated everything and nothing helped til I rebooted wiped and reflashed rom.
Or try to install superuser and see what happens
I was reading somewhere that if you restore a backup the permissions or something get screwy and the only known fix is to re-flash the rom. it sucks

Had the same issue. I had to reflash. This occured after a Nandroid backup for me.
Have to re-flash, I had the same issue, I did not realize I was on a Nandroid backup. Just do a fresh re-flash and you should be good to go. All of my probs with this are posted in the themes area, they are in the Android pissing on Apple boot animation thread =)
Hello,
I rooted my X10 mini and still can't delete stock apps from the system folder. The root explorer shows R/W but when I try to delete a .apk it says "Delete failed".
I'm not very confortable with flash or re-flash (stock ROM). Can you help me?
I had the same problem, I fixed it by going from CWM 5.x.x to CWM 6.x.x
Try using Titanium Backup.

Remember, you can't delete a file that is IN USE, ie; system files. You need to freeze/disable them first THEN delete them! Watch what you delete though, some files are needed, some files that you least suspect, and will cause problems if you delete them.

I'm experiencing something similar.
I have root on stock os but recovered from nandroid.
I can create folders, files, rename, edit text etc on some directories, yet I am unable for others.
I am trying to undrestand if this is because of
1) Nandroid backup
2) files are in use and I cannot edit or create folders in those directories?
I am trying to create folders and edit files in the /sys directory.

Are you using the 'Root Explorer' app to do this? If not, I suggest you get that from the Play store first. Secondly, make sure the "root privileges" are enabled in Superuser for the app.
If you have already done what I mentioned and still occur problems, may I ask what folders in the 'sys directory' you are trying to change? As majority of the files/folders you are seeing in that folder are there for a reason and named accordingly for your phone to utilize that directory and keep the phone working.

I am using root explorer app.
I have root privileges as well. The phone is rooted and permission is granted to RE
i was trying to change or create a new folder for the CPU states because my cpu spy wasn't reading any cpu states (which is another problem im facing).
1) With root privileges am I suppose to be able to create folders in any directory? I seem to be able to create/rename/edit files only in some directories. I seem to have the option to mount as r/o and r/w only on certain folders. The other folders defaulted to mount as r/w. I've also changed permission on the folders as well.
2) Why can't my BBS and CPU Spy read my cpu states, but can only read it when i enter in with my SetCPU app?

Unless you know the exact name and which sub-directory to place the folders to link with the apps you have mentioned, I suggest you do not add or modify anything.
The apps such as CPU Spy utilizes your phones kernel to determine what your usage is. What kernel are you using for your phone? Maybe flashing a new one would help.
I'll look in to the issue more and post any other solutions if I find any. Good luck!

1) I understand that its not too safe to mess around anyhting in that directory. But.....can regular rooted users with RE edit that folder? If so, its a problem I'm experiencing. If not, then probably because that folder is in use. When I enter /sys, its mounted as r/w but there is no option for me to change it to r/o.
2) Everything is stock. I understand that CPUSpy may not work on certain custom roms, but what about stock?

The app may not be compatible with a stock ROM/kernel. Hopefully someone else on a stock ROM can help you confirm that.
That's a possibility.
However do you know why or how I can get cpu spy to work after I use set cpu?

I've never needed to use CPU Spy as SetCPU is more than enough, so I apologize if for not being able to answer that question. It just seems like a compatibility issue with what you are currently using, nothing for you to be worried about.

Reason it's saying that is because that *.obb file isn't put where it needs to go, so it wants to download it, and thinks it's not paid for.
I don't know the location on the AFTV as my ES File Explorer won't get off the SDCard. But it's generally ../android/obb directory.
Also, you need to copy the *.obb file over before installing the *.apk file, or it will error out with the same error.
Thanks for response. I tried that but didnt work. Here's my location of where the OBB file is
\Xperia Tablet Z\Internal storage\Android\obb\com-lego-fusion-townmaster

hmm, okay. Well, I'm getting my usb stick tomorrow and will have to deal with this myself, so give me a few days and maybe I'll have an answer for you.
Great! Hope you can figure this out. Thanks again
okay, what I have found out so far is that the obb directory is /sdcard/Android/obb and I needed to turn on root access in es file to see it.
Copying the directory of stuff into there, and then you install the *.apk
If you installed the *.apk first, then uninstall it, then copy the stuff over, then install it.
Should work for most stuff, but I haven't played with it much. Been busy.
Was really hard to find at first, the location. But I didn't have root enabled in es file.
Where did you find it?
Where did you get this obb file I've search the internet for it and all I get is this same exact post on 20 different website's.
Thanks
