[Q] [Request] Live Wallpaper & Keyboard - Nexus S Themes and Apps

I realize that Nexus S isn't available for retail sale yet, but when the code becomes available can someone provide the LWP apk seen in all the images of the Nexus S? Also, how about the Gingerbread keyboard apk? Thanks to whomever attempts and/or gets this done.

gingerbread keyboard is already out, searching is your friend.
as far as the LWP, those will take a few weeks after the phone comes out.

No. It requires /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so and replaces LatinIME.apk in /system/app

This may be a dumb question: Why is it possible to get the Droid X keyboard without root then?

It's only possible when people have modded it in a way so that it doesn't need system access because originally it did need root. This means that it is theoretically possible to have the keyboard without root but it would mean that somebody would have to modify it so that it's a standalone app which is unlikely and even if done will take a while.

I know nothing about the inner workings of the Droid X keyboard. I'm assuming they modified it into it's own standalone apk apart from LatinIME if you can install it without root.

the3dman made a nice copy of the wallpaper here .
-Install ninjamorph and go to /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk .
-Replace pyramid_background.png in /drawable-hdpi with the new wallpaper.
-Finish Project
-Select Nexus LWP from Wallpaper Menu
-Profit
Or if you got 99 cents. You can buy NexusKang from the market, and set a custom wallpaper.
Should hold you over until the official one is out.

Go to the Desire Dev Forum, the Keyboard Apk is already available

Live wallpaper is available now:

*edit*
Disregard. This is just a dressed up nexus one LWP, runs really choppy even on a galaxy s phone.

You can get the TouchPal.apk from the Palm Pre theme in the Dream themes and wallpapers section, just download the theme and pull the 2 .apks that say TouchPal.

no it doesnt...still in beta
As a beta it's ok, but it really needs some changing. there's a .com button buried in there, about 3 or 4 taps in, therefore you could just type it as quickly, hash key is buried away as well, making it annoying for Twitter use, the keys are a bit too small in qwerty, which wouldn't be a problem but for the recognition suggestions being a bit silly.
best thing about it for me is the slide up on a letter for CAPS, slide down for punctuation option. definitely needs a little haptic for that though, if you're not looking directly at what you're typing it'll come out as garbage most of the time.
It's now available in the Market free till Sept. Make sure you install language pack after the main program.
I dont find it on the market.

I just saw it. Go to All Applications, By Date tab, and it's not too far down, but you should see a couple language packs first.
Touch Pal is released in the market today and its free to download until sept 30...this is not the beta version..this version you can now choose the vibrate and sound options on the settings...
Sorry to bring back an old thread but I just upgraded the ROM on my phone and now cannot find TouchPal on the market or on the web. I guess it's no longer in the market? But where is it??
I thought it was equal to the HTC keyboard, but touchpal has the 1-9 on the top row of letters and that is just awesome (gesture down to get the number instead of letter). It was so convenient.
Hi Everybody, I have this Touchpal apk v 1.0 from my Vodafone 845 and it is not working on my G1(Enomther The Official Froyo rom) how can i make it work? thanks....
I think here is a tool that can bring APKs to run. But I do not know how to use it.

I've tried to repair the APK. The following file works for me.

After a while I'll delete the file because I do not know if this is allowed.

I read it fast and read "..you can rip out and push.." I read through about 40k grammar errors a day so it's reasonable for me to miss one here and there. After reading more I found my answer...You're working on figuring it out in another thread. Pretty tired of looking through all of these damn threads to get one answer. It's cool though, I'll watch the other one until you figure something out. Thanks.
So where can we find this apk? im running manup's 1.5... can i install livewallpaper.apk to get the wallpapers?

wrong hardware
Nexus live wallpaper aren't great, get the one with flying ducks and you can shoot them down
Waiting for the time to have pet live wallpaper where you can play with it, developers here might wanna consider this as your idea for selling android app.
Pet parrot live wallpaper, better if can download toys and see the parrot plays them.
Records sounds/voices and the live wallpaper randomly plays those sounds as parrot mimick sounds.
Just my crazy idea and pardon me if my english is difficult to read. Speaks mandarin most of the time here

yeah i know it's for the droid, but it specifically says 2.1, and manup's latest eclair 1.5 is 2.1 based. so shouldn't it be able to work on his in some way or another?

I would like someone to develop a live wallpaper that looks like normal rain in which sporadic drops hit the screen and drip down (sorta like the HTC weather app).

Swype beta open go!!

Swype is one of the best and most popular keyboard options for Android, available on Galaxy S. Given the fact Nexus S is based on the Galaxy S would Swype be available on that device as well? Still no info here beta*swype*com
I'm curious about this as well. But I'm thinking not. Does anyone know?
No, it won't have Swype. The hardware is Samsung, but the software is all Google. You'll have to get into the beta or get the .apk file somehow.
I had it on my Vibrant, but I'm still signed up to Beta from my Nexus One days...I prefered the Samsung Swype skin though.
Maybe some Samsung Devs will pack & sign a APK file for you guys!?
never tried swype but i'd like it on the NS
Swype was good when it first came out. It's gotten progressively more inaccurate somehow. i.e. pretty standard words are left out of the dictionary, and accuracy for me is way worse than when I was running 2.1 Eclair (stock JFD firmware on my Vibrant).
SWYPE
Tried to install two types of swype hvga and wvga and no luck DARN!
EDIT
WVGA WORKS YAY
Installed via Android Commander
Anyone that is in the beta program can install the official one. I just installed it on mine and it's working perfectly.
+1 for official Swype.

Swype is not to be distributed, per the forum rules, on non-swype devices
Bump.. It would be really awsome if we could have the samsung swype.. Anybody knows what it takes to port ?
*hint* someone posted an apk called SAIDKEYBOARD.apk in a topic called Swype in the Themes & App Section.
But don't take my word for it.

Can you check if the stock google Launcher2.apk is included in this firmware? i hate the customized one of LG & all the other launcher like ADW and LauncherPro that don't work well with live wallpapers anyway i hope someone will port the Honeycomb UI or the complete firmware, that interface should work great on a 4'' display

Thanks will add to OP
I just got back from work so I didn't had much chance to play with the dump yet.
I've got 2 live wallpapers working on my N1 :
Bubbles movement
Christmas SnowCity (also need lib file to be pushed)
There is also quite a few other apps that works out of the box but mainly in Korean language tho. Nothing really interesting yet mostly bloatware...
And yes I did check the clock/weather widget, FC but that was to be expected it may require the framework to work I haven't looked at the issue yet tho...
The boot animation is also nice IMO - I like the dancing android mascot lol
If there is an interest for those live wallpapers I could post them in the apps section - let me know
Hi All-
As Bypass mentioned, I am the lucky owner. If there is anything else I can do to help development, please let me know. I am more than happy to help in anyway I can. That being said, as Bypass can attest to, I am a COMPLETE NOOB in this area, so I will need detailed instructions. Hopefully, with his guidance, I can get the the files that will be necessary for real development to begin from my phone to you guys! Thanks everyone who is participating in this!
Thats the real xda community spirit guys, let the developement and modding begin! Lets all get behind this phone and give it all the support it needs to reach its full potential. Once again i respect you all for the great enthusiasm, keep it up everyone.
is there a netflix app on here, similar to the netflix app being pre-loaded on the lg revolution? would be nice to get an apk...

Most seem to be the stock android ones, apart from the first 2.
What was getting root to do this like? Hard or not? Seriously considering this phone, but would mean changing operator in a while!
considering it was my first android phone, I would say getting root was not too difficult. Installed the android sdk and LG phone USB drivers. Used super one click to root the phone. Apparently I did something wrong during the process but after messing around w/ some help from Bypass, I got a full root. I imagine with a little refinement, rooting will be quite easy.

Wow, these samsung emoji are terrible. How to change to google?

I'm guessing without root you have to basically download an entire font set, correct? Anyone successful in changing the emoji back to google's?

You need root access to change the emojis.Get google/iOS notocoloremoji.ttf and replace it with samsung one in /system/fonts.
If you want those ttf files let me know i'll upload them.
I guess we will sit tight and hold out for root

Have you tried installing the emoji fonts from Play Store? No root is required. Not sure if it works on the Note 5.
Yeah, but they look pretty terrible vs the factory font
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
So you have to replace your keyboard in order to use different emojis? There is no way to add emojis to the current keyboard?
