Hello.
I download via stock wallpaper live wallpaper. It will be saved in the folder of my downloaded live wallpaper. They stay there for a while and then disappear and are no longer visible in the downloads. When I find them in the file manager, they are stored there.
What could be the problem?
You can try to uninstall wallpaper app via https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools (a simple tool with his own UI using ADB and java) then re install it, could fix it ?
I'll try. Thanks
So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the problem still persists.
You can see in the screenshot.
There are 3 live wallpapers downloaded. Each has a folder where the wallpaper itself - video and sound.
And a separate file will be created for each folder, which is marked on the screenshot.
When I delete this file, the wallpaper is not visible in the wallpaper stock application, but the wallpaper is still functional.
It's just that this file disappears by itself after a while and I don't see the downloaded wallpaper. It is not clear to me why the file disappears by itself.
So, the problem is solved in its own way.
1. I'm downloading live wallpaper.
2. I immediately have to set it as a background, for example a home screen.
3. A folder with the video itself is created automatically.
4. I move the separate video to the root folder of the live wallpapers and leave only the separate video there.
5. All other created files, including what mysteriously disappeared itself, must be deleted!
6. A separate video file must remain there.
7. You can also record your own video and paste it into the root folder of live wallpapers and it will appear in live wallpapers and you can use it like other live wallpapers.

To change the wallpaper I have to press the homescreen and choose "wallpaper". By now I have to choose "Gallery" if I want to get a file from the sdcard. But I do have the options "Launcher" and "LaucherPro" where I get a list of wallpapers provided by these launchers.
Is there a possibility to create a .apk file which I install and which let me choose a wallpaper like "Launcher" or "LauncherPro"? If it exists how do I create such a .apk file?
<edit>
I discovered where the current wallpaper is saved. As a workaround I can change that through ADB

is there a way to organize folders for direct access in both gallery and music, so we can see some organized folders in image gallery, and have the option to add some folders to the playlist in music
is there a way to put images for wallpapers in the htc wallpaper preview?
or what is the simpliest way to add wallpaper from any folder?
If you wish to hide a folder from Android simply add a full stop (or a period - US) before the folder name.
E.g - Media --> .Media
If you don't want Android to scan a particular folder, add a file into that folder without an extension, called "nomedia".
E.g - nomedia.txt = Wrong
- nomedia = Correct
good tips but that's not what i want.
what i need is to make some new custom folders and put in there images and music, and let gallery see the images folders, and let music the new music folders, ex. if i paste images in images folder on sd card or in the dcim folder it will not read it, but making a new folder directly on the root sd card with some images will appear in gallery, is ther a way to make subfolders in images folder or any sd card folder appear in gallery and music player.
i want to browse in music player to a specific folder not let it scan what i have.
it seems as one of the weekest point in android, to have the option to browse folders for multimedia is not something easy by native.
i tried a lot of ways to let the device recognise or browse to folders with no success, in fact, music player may browse unfriendly to a specific folder, and gallery may recognize a custom folder on the sd card each time u reboot ur device, but it will not refresh any folders u add, edit or remove, unless u reboot, even force close gallery and then reopen will not do the trick. i tried even (3d gallery, flan, and 3d gallery v2) all have the same no refresh list unless reboot.
SOLUTION:
call it temp or workaround, but it did the trick for what i want and what others may want:
1-music folder (nice browser for music, some will not like the UI, but it's simply a music browser and do what it should do) no eq, no sound enhancement.
2-power amp (advanced music player with good folders support)
3-quickpic (image folder browser, that will do what gallery is intended to do, plus the ability to see all sdcard folders and refresh them at any change with no reboot) and even faster than any other gallery.
this is my experience and tests, please correct me if i'm wrong at any point.
Guys i have lost the option to select live wallpaper. I had deleted it in error thinking i was deleting the live wallpapers that came with the phone-not the actual program that allows you to use live wallpapers. So i have been reading on the forum where i saw that i should reinstall the live wallpaper apk and the live wallpaper picker apk which i have done but its not still not appearing as an option when i go wallpapers.
Someone said this: "okay fixed it. found a dump of all of the original vibrant app/files and copied over the live wallpapers and livewallpaperpicker apk and odex files into the /system/app folder and it works again!!"
I copied the apks to the system/app folder and it still doesn't work. I don't know what odex files are. Can someone help ?
maybe you need to reboot or at least restart home apk? Hope it helps

i have face that problem . i have done same procedure which you have mentioned . i just copy that apk in sys/app but i have not put odex file...
and then i have rebooted my device
Did a search and came up short. I downloaded an "icon pack" in zip form. I transferred the files to File Manager HD, how do I get my N7 to recognize these files as some sort of icon pack?
Thanks for the help.
"Transferred the files" meaning transferring the image files / icons that were in the zipped file? I'd suggest copying / transferring the image files to a dedicated folder on your device - I called my folder "icons" for example. Then in your launcher (I use Nova), you can edit the app icon shortcuts on your home screens, by long pressing on them, and choosing "edit". Then touch on the icon image that's being used, navigate to where your icons are, and select the one you want in there. Hopefully that helps!
I download the icons to Dropbox, then export to gallery/sd storage. Then use Nova to edit. Works for me to support several devices.

Hi!
I figure it out how to create your own live wallpapers!
Very easy, i use external SD Card to store it. Go to Settings, about the phone, storage, pull up, storage settings, themes and select external storage.
Now plug the phone in to PC, open external storage ( i think it calls android by default), open MIUI folder then open .videowallpaper folder ( it is where will be paste the live wallpapers!).
Its a mp4 video and must have 1080x1920 size with or with out sound, you must delete the mp4 extension like if it calls babe.mp4 it will be only babe and you must create a folder with video name and add "_split" in to name, like babe_split! ( Do you get it???)
You will get babe file and babe_split folder.
Now open the live wallpapers option and it will be there!!!
Easy, no?
I let you here some live wallpaper i made from some videos i download from (shhh... Youtube...)
Just past in .videowallpaper folder.

If you like press thanks!
