Help Installing stock Live Wallpapers

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but have been trying to get it working for a while lol. Im using Renovate rom atm, love it, but I would like to have live wallpapers, as they have been removed from the rom. I have managed to get some of the original lwp apk's from another rom, have moved them to system/app and changed permissions to rw-r--r--. This works for some, but not all, some arent even detected or dont work properly :/. Is there an easier way todo it?
Am i doing something wrong? Am i a fool?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Leo

Download .apk
Move to /system/apps
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot

cycloneblast's method works. Finally happy with custom roms where live wallpapers didnt worked.

Thanks Cycloneblast I was able to fix my LWP error. My alternate process below:
How to fix - unfortunately live wallpaper picker has stopped.
1. Backup and Uninstall the system
-Live Wallaper Picker-
{livewallpaperspicker.apk}
ONLY (NOT livewallpapers.apk) with -Lucky Patcher-(you need to enable system files in Lucky Patcher) or some other App like that (you don't need to uninstall any already installed live wallpapers).
2. Download many livewallpaperspicker.apk you can find all over the internet (including the one in this thread by <cycloneblast>) for different Android versions(doesn't matter even if the version is not specified, download anything you can).
3. Install the livewallpaperspicker.apk for the Android version you are running.
4. If it still says unfortunately live wallpaper picker... then Install other versions and test them(you don't need to restart your device).
5. If stil not working, then remove odex file of the Live Wallpaper Picker with Lucky Patcher and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. If STILL not working then remove corpses with -SD Maid-(you need to enable system files in it's settings first which is usually turned off when you install it). WARNING: Use this at your own RISK.

with that livewallpaperpicker don´t woks for me. i put another one the 4.4 (for kitkat) and works really fine. with live wp again.

problem after port

hi all
i ported X-STRONGER 6.0 to our device
after the port i had 2 problems
1-i cant connect my phone to pc
2-camera is not working
after some works i solved the problem with the usb
but i need help with fixing the camera

Have you tried replacing the gallery2/4 app?

ok i have tested everything in the rom and there are 3 unfixed problems in it now
1-in lockscreen has a little problem(the camera button is a little down)
2-themes are not working(i dont know but they are not working on some other roms for me. maybe its my problem)
3-camera not working
i really need your helps and suggestion
im sure everyone will like this rom because its very fast. i had stable 250-80mg free ram with lupus 480p and 230+ free ram with lupus 720p(and it has many futures)
im doing all i can for this rom

gallery?
i will try it now

there were no gallery.apk or gallery2.apk but there was semcgallery3d.apk on both base and port
i replaced it but nothing happened

i fixed the problem of lockscreen
it was a problem with the main rom
he changed the lockscreen app to make a new style but it made that problem
so i changed it with aeonworld lockscreen app and its working correct now
im working on theme manager bug now for 90% i will solve it soon
update:the problem of themes are solved now. so only 1 more bug. the camera
i have a Little problem
there is and app in this rom named 3d album in this rom
but i cant find it in system/app
hoow can i remove that?

You can use catlog app to find source of errors with the camera. I'm assuming that you have checked the permission files in your base Rom to match the ones from the port.

well maybe the problem is with the permission
what i have to do exactly?

Check in system/etc/permission
Look for any that you might have missed...
Also check in system/lib/hw
Make sure you have a file in there
camera.semc.so

there is no camera.semc.so in both port and base
and no missed permission
i found that there is a folder in system/usr named semc in the rom im going to port but we dont have that on stock rom(and there is a folder named camera in that folder and there are some .dat files in it)

Try using those for the camera.

Some apps r hidden in /system/customization/applications I think, most OEM's put some apps here... Also if running windows do a simple index search for "camera" in most folders or system folder to find it
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

i dont why but in windows 8 that thing is not working
and i used that files but they didnt help too

Did you try to install/replace camera.apk from another (stock gb) play rom?

im trying it now
i tough i have have done that before but i 90% i haven't now
sorry for my bad english

wow it worked
tnx to everyone that helped me here(i will give a credit every one on this thread)
the only things that i need to change is that to delete that apps then the rom is ready
im doing the final tests and i will release it as soon as possible

[Q] Optimizing Beanstalk 4.3.075 ?!

Hi there!
First of all, I really want to thank you a lot, officiallysonyrebel, for such a great ROM!!!
You did an amazing job and compiled a wonderful ROM.
I'm using it on my Arc S - and it's actually the first ROM, I'm using at all.
I was running crazy with the former firmware and ICS (system too slow & all the other issues you know!).
I even thought, I've to buy a new smartphone, because my issues caused by the ICS - firmware will never be solved.
→ However, YOU SAVED me from further headaches them!!! :good:
Well, back to the essential:
While "optimizing" the ROM to my uses, i. e., deinstalling & moving apps from /system/apps etc., I realized the following "behaviors":
1. In the status bar, there is a date area. So if you click on the date, Calendar.apk opens.
The same happens with my weather widget: If I click there on the date, Calendar.apk opens.
When I removed Calendar.apk to replace it with my favorite Busines Calendar (netgenius.biscal.apk), both link areas simply lost their functionality.
→ Would it be also possible to link this area to any calendar app you want? So everyone could keep this great "link" in the status bar (and in the widget) without loosing its functionality and define himself which calendar app he wants to be linked with this area.
2. It seems QuickSarchBox.apk is linked to the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.
When I removed QuickSarchBox.apk, I only had the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk, which at the same time offered me the Google Now!! functionality.
→ So may it be that QuickSarchBox.apk just "lays on" the "standard" Google Search and also hides the functions of Google Now!?
At the same time, it's really interesting that pressing long on the menu button opens Google Now!.
3. Actually, I didn't want to use Gallery2.apk, but instead Album.apk of Xperia Z.
But when I removed Gallery2.apk, I realized that some other areas are linked to "Gallery2.apk", i. e. my profile in Contacts.apk.
So it happened, when I wanted to add a picture to my profile, the Album of Xperia Z opened, I could choose a foto, but it wasn't "sent" to my profile. The pic - area there kept being blank.
→ Would it also be possible to link this area to any album app you want?
4. When I converted Contacts.apk from a system's to a user's app, moved it to my SD Card and wanted to dial a number of any of my contacts, Contacts.apk just crashed. But at the same time I was able to choose any of my contacts within Contacts.apk to send them a SMS and even decide via which app (Stock, Whatsapp, Textra, ...).
→ I was really wondering, why this happens in that way?
(To get all the functionality back, I converted it already back to a system's app.)
5. It's not possible to move the system app Torch.apk to SD Card. If you do so, it won't work at all.
→ Would be great, it would be possible to convert Torch.apk also to a user app and to move it without problems.
6. Is there a possibility to solve the "camera issue", i. e. the green foto thumbnail?
7. For those, who are interested: I converted a lot of system apps to user apps and moved them from /system/app to /data/app.
After trying them out, I also removed a lot of apps, because I didn't need them at all.
That's how I cleaned the System ROM up to aprox. 150 MB and the intern space up to aprox. 220 MB.
My Arc S literally "runs" now like a charm and the real speed (in comparison to ICS Firmware) makes me very happy.
This is a list of what I converted to user app or deinstalled at all - once, again, I decided to remove this apps, because I personally don't need them at all (a lot of them are live wallpapers:
Moved from /system/app to /data/app - WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ISSUES / PROBLEMS:
Code:
BasicDreams.apk
BeanStalkPapers.apk
Browser.apk
Calculator.apk
Calendar.apk
DownloadProviderUi.apk
Gallery2.apk
Gmail.apk
MediaUploader.apk
Mms.apk
SoundRecorder.apk
Removed at all - WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ISSUES / PROBLEMS:
Code:
Apollo.apk
ATweakerFree.apk
DSPManager.apk
Gallery2.apk
GooManager.apk
HALO.apk
HoloLauncherHD.apk
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk
HTMLViewer.apk
LatinIME.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
NoiseField.apk
PhaseBeam.apk
PhotoTable.apk
SetupWizard.apk
StalkExplorer.apk
Stk.apk
Trebuchet.apk
VideoEditor.apk
VisualizationWallpapers.apk
XposedDPI.apk
XposedInstaller.apk
So, I hope you can give me some answers to my questions an I hope my experiments help our community to get better and better!!!
Regards,
Chipy

disabling button backlight
beanstalk is a GREAT ROM!! but the button back-light is annoying, I really want to disable it.
I saw on the official beanstalk thread that someone posted a mod for adding advanced settings, but it didn't help.
I was able to add the settings for disabling it but it didn't do anything.
I also head problems with mounting the system root with RO, it is stuck in RW and no app was able to change it.
if the mounting issue with the ro-rw will be fixed i will be able to fix the back-light manually so it is more important.
thank you

Hi dropsy1234!
Did you try to mount the system root with ES File Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en)?
Which buttons back - lights do you mean?
I even didn't see any lights...

thanks
hi
thank you for the answer, but I already tried es and fx file explorer and another app... nothing helped. i saw that allot of people had problams with this on android 4.3
i'f i'm the only one with this problem on this ROM then I will try to install it again.
about the light' i'm talking about that annoying light behind (on the sides) the menu button.

HI dropsy1234!
I don't exactly know why do you want to mount the system root with RO?
But checking my settings in es file explorer, they're set to:
Path RO RW
/ X
/system X
So, does this mean, my system root is mount with RO?!
Finally, I realised the light behind the buttons.

Mmmm...
thanks chip
but as you can see i'm new to this forum (only 3 posts) so i have no idea what your es settings mean
thanks for trying to help tough.

[Q] CarbonRom 4.4.4, i9195, Bloat Reinstall after Reboot

Hi
I have recently installed CarbonRom 4.4.4 on my i9195. Excellent rom, works great, but I have one minor issue:
I want to remove a few unwanted apps, like live wallpapers, google books etc.
I remove these with TitaniumBackup, but after reboot, the apps are being automatically reinstalled.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Thank you in advance.
(I am posting here and not at the CarbonRom thread, because I haven't reached the minimum 10 posts yet.)

2 ways of doing it.
Remove them from the rom zip file before flash. They are under system/app folder.
Use this app.

Thank you very much for your help. Job done !!
