From everything I have read here, the Hero cannot support Live Wallpaper. I believe they have said it's a hardware limitation.

sure it can..i use it on my Hero every now and then.
Just get the new CM6 rom and take the apk file from the sys/app and install it from your sd card.
its called LiveWallpapersPicker.apk install that like any other apk.

NFX is a 2.1 ROM. You need a 2.2 ROM like Cyanogen.... though there are still issues with it disappearing after a while.

Darchdroid is probably about as close to what you are asking for as your gonna get (AND IT HAS THE OC KERNEL ), although it doesnt have the sense mail app..
"How to edit your own ROM" is a much bigger question than I think you realize...
If you want to learn though browse through the WIKI's, everything you need to know to learn how to make your own rom is in there
Post back with any questions!!
thx 4 reply where can i find the sprint 2.1 rom stock to edit and how can i take parts from nexus rom like browser or launcher to add to my custom rom?

Well the best way to get a full stock rom is to pull it off the ruu. What you'll need to do is run the ruu without your phone plugged in and open up task manager and go to the processess and find ruu.exe then right click it and go to file location. You'll find a folder that says rom.zip copy that and paste it to your desktop. Now turn off the ruu. Inside the rom.zip will be the system image of an untouched 2.1 sprint hero rom

Just flash DarchDroid and get Helix/Zeam/Luancher Pro
There is no way to put Sense on an AOSP rom.
And it is probably not possible to run the AOSP browser on our stuff with out serious reworks.

stock nexus/droid live wallpapers?

are their any apks floating around with LWPs like neural network or nexus or galaxy? They were on kaoslegendary but they were buggy, so im now on extROM and LWPs run very smooth, but i cant seem to find an apk for the ones i like. im not a fac of nexusmod, it FCs on extROM.
I'm wondering the same.. I can't seem to find much either.

i will try and pull them out of kaos legendary and post them up here (if possible) but don't get your hopes to high
EDIT:can't find them in kaos legendary (going to try to find them in the nexus one froyo files)
EDIT#2 cant find them there either (sorry, try someone else)
go to theunlockr.com and download the rom eris_LP_0_1.zip and there will be a live wallpapers.apk file and install that file. and they will be the original files there
Here's the .apk extracted from hotwingz2180's link, so you don't have to download the whole 100mb file.
It added the stock wallpapers to my list, but I got force closes when I selected them. Maybe you will have better luck.

thx for the apk! i put it on my phone and everything worked right... but when i try and preview a lwp it just crashes... and if i try and set it, it just goes back to a regular default wallpaper. im on leak root cyanogen 6.
Not my work.... I'm just the messenger.
This is a customizable Nexus background.
You can choose from themes and backgrounds.
It is a great app.

[DEV ADVICE NEEDED] Considering Casual ROM-building

Let me explain what I mean by "casual". I've come to find that I always end up removing stuff from custom ROMs that I don't like/don't use and end up with something much much better.
With NFX's permission (should he give it) I'd like to make a custom ROM based on my slimmed down approach, one that left me with tons of free space, lots of free RAM, great battery life, and smooth operation. I'm looking at the ROM right now, and I'm wondering; is there anything special I need to know about adding my own apks to be preinstalled with the ROM? I'd like to add Fancy Widget and LauncherPro since I stopped using the Sense Launcher. My ideal setup is one where the app is recognized by the market so that it can be updated as and when needed. Also, what can I do to ensure that LauncherPro is the default launcher?
I'd love to get into this. I'm not big on code editing but have no issue with doing so when needed, can anyone nudge me in the right direction?
Update #1: My first attempt failed . I was using Nfinite's Odexed NFX Rom. I tried to just change around the apps in the data/app/ folder. Also attempted to delete all the HTC Sense Widgets beforehand. (I do this after install, but I wanted to do it before.) Should I not be working with an odexed ROM, and is there some sort of signature process that I need to be using?
Pretty sure you need deodexed.

Search for avabox on these forums. It has the zip signing tool to make the zip flashable after editing it. And many other helpful tools

Like some else said you'll need the deodexed rom. Also if your altering the rom for personal purposes there is no need to ask nfinite... if you post the rom then you'll need to ask and give props.
Next you need some kind of rom manager tools so that you can sign and zip align your apk and have a flashable after you make your changes. maybe read threw the rom cooking guide on the hero wiki page also.
You most definitely what an odexed ROM. Its been a while since I messed with it, but i think you will want to place apps you want updated in /data/app. As for the default launcher, it should ask which one you want as default when you first boot into the ROM.

@[email protected] Confusion. A few people above have said I need deodexed?
The only problem you will run into with odexed vs deodexed is changes to any jar files within an apk on system. Only really applies to framework level edits. Things like removing haptic or rotary lock screen or battery percentage mods, etc.

I meant to type deodexed. I was so tired and doing ten things at once. Didn't even reread what I was posting.

Ah. Nah, the only thing I'd love to experiment with is to swap out images and png files. The functionality of the ROM and its inner workings are fine . Assuming that I can remove all the HTC widgets and a few of the apps I won't be using (using LP, so Sense Widgets are unneeded), and that I can set a default launcher, and perhaps mess around with all the status bar icons/button images, that's all I want to do

You will need deodexed
You can always re-Odex it afterwards.
I assume you've realized this, as you have a stable odexed ROM out, but I'm putting it up for reference's sake. Don't want someone reading the thread and getting the wrong idea.

[Q] Enable puzzle lockscreen on stock de-odexed rom

I'm running a de-odexed ZSJPJ rom (Ramad's). It seems that the only way to get the puzzle piece lockscreen is to flash a theme that has the 4 lockscreen settings. I don't really want to flash a theme especially since a lot of these are based on older frameworks and I just want the lockscreen.
If anyone can point me to a comprehensive how-to, that will be fine. Thanks in advance.
yeah you need to change the android.policy.odex in the system\framework\ folders.
You can just take the file from a theme that has it and use root explorer to transfer it to your phone.
or you can just use the StockPlus082percentageFF theme which is a stock theme with all the current lock screens.
Link for stock theme with 5 lockscreens: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952579
I've seen Stockmod Plus, but I think he uses an older framework. ZSJPJ rom has some issues from what I've read. Anyway, thanks. I'll google android.policy.odex and see where it leads.

yeah but you can just take the android.policy.odex file from it and install it separately. just replace the one file with the one you have on your phone.

This title confused me for 5 secs
Sounds good, I'll wait for someone to flash it and see the results ​
That worked. Thank you.
Could you explain this bug/fix please? How could you debug this problem?
I'm also interested how you fixed this ))) Oh, btw good job for fix ))
i fixed it by replacing the HTCSetupWizard.apk with the Chinese rom how i found out witch apk was causing the problem was like this i extracted the Chinese rom and the stock rom then i replaced only the app and framework with the stock apps and framework ziped them up and flashed and it worked. HTC sense was working so then a thought i would replace only the htc apps with the ones in the stock rom after trill and error i found all the problems came form HTCSetupWizard.apk once i replaced it and reboot it fixed the htc sense
Is there any way to make it like .apk file so we can install it on non-rooted phone???
Thanx in advance
Cheers
extract the apk from zip.
I tried it, but no luck... it just say "application not installed" I unzipped it with androzip, went to .apk file, clicked install...

Maybe the problem lies in fact that sense and android system is up and running, and .apk file tries to replace setup wizzard...if u lunch setup from recovery, then u don't have sense and android up and running...am I right?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Yes, but you are not rooted, and the stock recovery will not allow it .
You got S-OFF using AlphaRev X but not root? I can understand users wanting to stick with the Stock ROM, but, I am extremely curious about your case.
if you have not unlocked your hboot by AlphaRev X then there is no need for this. but if you have unlocked your bootloader with AlphaRev X and you didn't rooted then you could use SuperOneClick to give you a tmp root
Does the sense fix need to be flashed everytime we install a new rom. Or is it just for the first time.
Anyway good work with this...

youi will need to flash every time you flash a any new sense 2.2.1 rom

After several coocked rom, now I put a stock rom.
With your fix, now the HTC wizard works, but the live wallpapers does not work.

To enable the live wallpapers must flash some zip or just stock your fix?
Thanks!!!

Ok, but I have found some zip for flashing function.
No one has stock ROM with live wallpapers?
I installed the zip with the function but when I choose the live wallpaper, It's reported a crash...
Thanks.

Depends on where you got that ZIP, and what it does. Anyway, It should enable Livewallpapers, but, not the Stock Sense Launcher. Try on alternative launchers like Launcherpro, then it will work.
AFAIK, only Custom ROMs like WildPuzzle and DK Custom ROM allow use of Live Wallpapers on the Stock Sense Launcher.

I installed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722203
Now from menu "changes the background" new item live wallpaper appears, but if I'm going to choose one of the live wallpapers from the list is given me error: "Unexpected termination Android application (processocom.android.wallpaper)".
Please confirm that IS NOT POSSIBLE using wallpaper with a stock ROM.
There is a zip package for stock ROM (ROM coocked always start from the stock ROM...)?
Thanks.
Ciao...
