Boot up and live wallpapers

I successfully installed android!
However, whenever I boot into android...there is no "nexus boot" animation...it's just a black screen. Android then shows up, but it's landscape oriented every time i boot into it. I always have to open the keyboard then close it to fix it. I also get these error messages giving me the option to force close or wait. And for some odd reason, under my reg folder (I use total commander), the gen.y dual boot folder gets deleted if i boot back into winmo, disabling me from booting into android again unless i reinstall gen.y. Live wallpapers is another issue for me as they DO NOT WORK. I installed the picklivewallpaper.apk and dled a live wallpaper from the android market and i DO see the live wallpaper as a choice when i go to wallpapers >> live wallpapers...however when i select one the screen goes black saying "loading live wallpaper" but never loads it. i've heard that the android cab should have some temp live wallpapers but i do not see them anywhere.
I've installed android and gen.y correctly so you don't have to worry about that.
Can anyone help me?

i had similar problems at first also. i couldnt find the live wallpapers or anything that was included. whenever i went to app store, to download, it wouldnt let me. i just uninstalled and installed again. now everything wrks as far as wrking in this version. hopefully dat might help. not too long ago i accidentally erased some audio folder but phone still works fine in android OS. the volume just very low. i might justt uninstall again to get folder i erased..lol still boots up and load with no problem. i see the nexus one animation when its booting up also

Which version of android OS are you running? I'm running the latest one and I heard that the live wallpapers feature was taken off due to RAM issues.
Also, my battery is always at 100%...I'm wondering if this means that there is an issue with the battery indicator or if Android OS is really bad ass when it comes to battery usage lol.

I have the 2.1 version. Or at least thats what it says in the phone details in android mode. The latest cab version install.
You know they have it that you can manually add files to update the roofts, zImage, and the g someth..lol Which i was unsuccessful last night in trying to replace with the newest ones, i got from online. Followed the instructions exactly but still didnt work. Even Copied them to my device notes..lol I will figure it out soon enough. Thats another thread.
As far as live wallpapers, mines work fine. I dont know if when i figure how to add those new files, it might not work. Im still learning but fast pace. im dealing with this and the gene y dual boot. Cant get that to exact recognize android. Did at one time, when moving some files around but got hung up at near the end of HaRET.exe loading info. I finally got the reefermadness modded Gene Y Dual Boot CAB, so ima try that later and see if that fixes it.
The battery issue is a known. Its always like that. I try to look at the the battery details to watch the volts go down but dont know if thats real indicator. It does go down and shows you if your charger is charging the phone while in XDAndroid OS. Plus i tried downloading Batter widget but that always say 100% also.

I had the same gen.y dualboot issue with recognizing android but now mine works . I just redid every step and voila! and where do i get those three files you were talking about? the ones you said that i had to manually download/update? and why do i need them? everything seems fine with my android 0_0 unless im missing something......? eek! >.<;;
And thanks reef, I understand why my live wallpapers wasnt working now haha.

'New wallpapers' problem

Problem resolved - see post 5 for answer
The other day when looking for a new wallpaper for my phone, using the 'Menu > wallpaper' process I managed to select an option which wasnt 'HTC Wallpapers' or 'Live Wallpapers' which had quite a few different wallpapers I hadnt seen before, I think this came from installing the 3DGallery app.
However, today when I try to change the wallpaper to one of these 'new ones' I can no longer find them through the same method. I have searched and searched but I cannot figure out where they are or how I did it in the first place. I am still using one of the 'new wallpapers' I set the other day so they must exist somewhere.
Does anyone know how I can find the option im looking for or these mysterious wallpapers? I have a feeling when I chose wallpapers I selected gallery and then I was presented with an option for 'gallery wallpapers' or something similar. It is extremely frustrating not being able to work out whats happened or why I cant do it again. I have tried resetting the phone but still have the same issue.

I know this is possible, surely some one else must know what I'm talking about? I'm assuming it its the default android 2.1 way of setting wallpapers. I have got to the point where I dont care about the actual wallpaper I jury want to know how its done and that it can be done.

Can you describe or post and image of the wallpaper you are using?

There must have been about 15 to choose from, not organised into any particular categories, some abstract ones but the ones that stand out are two different ones of beaches. I remember trying several different ones, setting them and then going home to view them, before going back to the same option and changing them. This must only have been at the start of the weel. It was late at night when I was doing it which is why its not 100 percent clear for me.

I have found out how it was possible. It came from installing a different launcher, which I then went onto remove. The launcher I installed can be found here. I reinstalled it from the apk and I have the different wallpaper option back.

Any version of 3.x Markets seem to have a built in updater. So even though they are themed it will update. If you think 3.1.5 may be around for awhile then have someone theme it black and it will stick. The other option is to find an old 2.x black market and install that, then you can freeze market updater to keep it.

Wow..thanks guys..i guess it was fun while it lasted...so i can unfreeze everything..its not gonna change anything either way huh?

Unfortunately not. Drove me crazy for 3 days before I gave up and accepted the new market. Resistance is futile!

Here is the link in themes which claims to keep it from updating but it takes a bunch of reboots to get it to take, plus there are some themed 3.1.5 markets in this thread:

[Q] Question regarding Beautiful Widgets

So I downloaded this and I've never used Beautiful Widgets before, so this was my first. I found a very nice skin "Ice Cream Sandwich" by Tama-Chan.
I go to Settings as I'm not sure if you can change something, and when I go into General, it just Force Closes everytime. I un-installed and installed again and it's still FC'ing.
Also, is it possible to edit an existing skin? I just want to get rid of two black boxes surrounding the clock and the blue border, but I'm not sure you can. I have googled as much as I can and I can't find anything.
Any guidance would be very helpful, thanks in advance

What version you on for ICS and BW? BW had a update just a little bit ago and not sure if that fixed what you are having issues with or not as I already updated. I did install the skin you have and I was able to get to the settings no problem and no FC at all. I am running 41D for ICS.

Well it was pretty recent as I snapped it up during the 10p sale. I'm using the standard ICS no custom ROMS flashed or anything. Do you think I should uninstall and install again? Or does that mean I have to pay again? I'm such an Android noob lol...this is my first true Android phone

You don't have to pay again once you've purchased it!
The app however was updated either today or last night, so go to the market and update it! It fixed all of the crashing problems for me

Thanks a lot! The update fixed my problems

It is possible to modify the skins. Go to /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets. The sub folders will be like: tskins (toggle skins), wskins (weather skins) etc. Those folders contain the image(s) for the skins

If I can reuse this thread. Does anyone know how to stop the temperature displaying in the notification area?
I already have the Accuweather app doing this (with a bigger better version)
I've turned off notifications in the widget but its still there?

New Bloatware 11/19/15

Did anyone else wake up with a bunch of new Bloatware from sprint? Was it a sprint or Samsung update? Trying to figure out how it showed up on my home screen. My settings are set so all updates have to be manually by me, I'm a control freak. Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. Thanks, you guys are the best.

the OJ7 update was a bunch of google security updates, I got no new bloatware on my phone to speak of, everything seems to be the same nothing changed for me.

Sprint updated Sprint Zone/Fun & Games (they're one app), Sprint ID and something else I believe. Sprint ID is carrier controlled but Sprint Zone/Fun & Games has an option in it's settings for auto update.

I got the same thing this morning. Saw Sprint something or other had updated, then noticed they added a 4th (I have 3) home screen panel on the right with a bunch of junk apps. They also moved my main home screen to the left (I have it in the middle). Seems quite intrusive.

Just got the update in question. It's Sprint's "App Spotlight" that messes with the home screen and adds shortcuts. Rather bothersome little thing.

Seems my play store has reverted back to the previous style also. . . wth

Actually Google Play changed the store layout a while ago. We're playing catch up. The new style is reminiscent of the way it looked in 2.x days.

Yeah I caught up like 4 days ago, then it went back after I got this dumb Sprint update. Now as I read your post I pulled up the play store, and it's back to the newest.... oh well
