I have installed the wildpuzzle froyo 2.2 rom onto my HTC wildfire but I still cant use live wallpaper. But when i go to menu -- wallpaper -- Home -- Live Wallpaper, it shows the option Live wallpapers, but when i click on a live paper, it does not change it, why?
You must delete HTC Sense and use other Luncher (ADW.Launcher / LauncherPRO etc.). Delete are simple, use htc_app_remove.zip update file
Where do i get the launcher and how to use it?
and where to download the remove thing and how to use it?
Both can be found in the android market. For the launcher, there are Launcherpro and ADW among others. You install them and then at your home screen press your home screen button and you should be able to select the launcher you have installed. To delete apps and other things, search for Astro File Manager. It's the best free file manager. After the installation of Astro (or your chosen file manager), find a folder called "system." Then another folder called "apps." Finally, you can delete whatever files that you wish.

You have to install the Live Wallpaper launcher. There are apks floating around for it all over XDA. Just search for it. Then you can go to town.

Live Wallpapers are not officially supported. Hence, there is no such option on the official update. ROM Dev's additionally add support for LWP's.
Well, since you are now on the "unrootable" 2.2.1 update, you are out of luck for now unfortunately.

Hi to all,
i'm an ex rooted G1 owner and now i have a unrooted Hero;
Last year i flashed on my G1 a ported Hero rom that had Flip Clock with flipping animations. Newer Hero ported rom doesn't have the animation and also my new Hero's rom doesn't have it. What i want to ask to you is:
Is it possible to take out Flip Clock apk and his animations from that roms or from old original Hero roms and create an installable apk file on Hero wich has another name, so it doesn't try to overwrite default clock apk? ( as if it were a third part clock)
this is really the wrong section
this should be in qna or apps n games
short answer though - nope, not really
only proper way to do it is replace the new clocks with the old one

What i'd like to have is "flipping" flip clock and also Weather Widgets Donate doesn"t have that.
@garok89
Sorry for wrong section;
Do you think that animations are included into HtcClockWidget apk and all i need is to replace that apk in to update zip file, sign it and flash?
Thanks
back up the original with adb and then push the old version with adb and reboot
or you could do the update.zip - i prefer adb tho
Just a back story:
HTC removed it to speed up the base. You might have to search back to the summer to find one of the original preupdate roms.
HTC is selling it in the market now. look there

I tried to replace new clock with old clock in last rom, but phone doesn't reboot;
I think that animations are not inside clock apk, can they be in framework.apk?
I want to extract the stock wallpaper that came with a certain rom. Where in the rom would I be able to find it?
These are possible places to look:
-Framework-res.apk(extract the apk)-->/drawables folders
-Launcher.apk(extract apk)
-Rosie.apk(sense rom)
-(Theme name)Lightshow.apk,nature.apk,etc(MtSlide rom)
im new to the whole rom thing but i was under the impression my phone was going to look exactly like the pictures i saw of the rom ha. guess not.

framework-res.apk
res-->drawable-->default_wallpaper.jpg
Its in framework-res.apk you can extract the apk using 7zip.
pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework off of the phone.
Once its extracted look in res/drawable-hdpi the name of the file is default_wallpaper.jpg
This rom works great, however when I try to change the Homescreen wallpaper and select a wallpaper from astro file manager, I get FC every time. If I use the built in wallpapers, it works.

WHAT ROM? Maybe you should post in the thread of the ROM you're using, just in case that's part of the issue.
Instead of resurrecting a dead thread. No offense, but come on.
wrongly posted... nothing specific for htc droid eris, so deleted...
haha wrong thread
Is there a way to replace the default wallpaper in the apk? Every time the UI crashes I keep having to look at this crappy blue and purple wallpaper.

Sounds like you should be able to according to post # 5 above.
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.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
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.

This is a customizable Nexus background.
You can choose from themes and backgrounds.
It is a great app.
I used to be on darky's rom and just flashed seearms rom (for several reasons)
In darky's rom when you want to add widgets to the homescreen, the several widget option for the same app used to be combined together. I know there is an app/tool for this, but can't seem to find it now. Please point me in the right direction

Hi,
What do you mean by "the several widget option for the same app used to be combined together"?
Id like to help but I dont think I understand what you mean...
I know what your talking about.
Search here on xda for 'App Widget Picker' - put it in /system/app with root explorer. No reboot necessary.
Actually, screw it. File is attached haha.
Rename it to appwidgetpicker.apk.
Thanks.. this makes selecting widgets so much easier!!

I use ARHD for my M7, and back on the Sense 5 track I used this nice live wallpaper that was only animated on weather change, and would otherwise display an attractive, simple weather-themed image. After updating to v62 on Sense 6, it's gone. My understanding is that HTC removed it and I was wondering if there's any way, short of going back to Sense 5, that I could get it back? It was my favorite wallpaper :/

Here is the link to the Sky Wallpaper he is talking about. I've just tried it. It doesn't seem to be able to use the current location (although I may be wrong) and I've only seen one animation but at least I have live weather background again.

Unfortunately it uses a different weather service than the weather clock, so they aren't synced up.
Has anyone else found a way to get the Sense 5.5 (or 5) live weather wallpaper into Sense 6?
Heyy !!
What's happening with HTC?? Why do SENSE 6 stole us our favorite live wallpaper ?? :crying: :crying: :crying:
Can anyone do something for us because there is, to my knowledge, unfortunately, none app similar to the qualitative level...!
It's the same for me,
since I have download the sense 6 update,
I've lost this wallpaper.
:crying:
I agree, is there a way to dump it from a backup and install it?

Interesting the .apk won't install? I just removed it from my folder and installed it just fine. First make sure in settings>security>unknown sources is checked. If so try this:
Using File explorer
device>system>app
look for livewallpapers.apk move the file somewhere else for the time being. Then try to install the one I attached to this forum thread

Is your device rooted? You should be capable of making changes to the system (updating binary, removing system apps, etc)
Ok, the device needs to be rooted... I relocked mine after upgrade 4.4.2...

That will not work because the original apk file name is HtcWeatherWallpaper.apk
Its under /system/priv-app folder but system requirements are Sense 5.0 and HTC SDK 5.XX.
If you on Sense 6.0 this apk file wont work you need couple of dependency files as well
somebody solve this issue with wallpapers ? I am fall in love with this beautiful wallpapers
