Does anyone know where the custom live wallpaper is that @ChrisSoyars made. I see video's of, and want it for my nexus.
Link to the video?
I've seen the video too today, not sure if it was this one

Just extract LiveWallpapers.apk from his ROM by unzipping it. Navigate to /system/app then open a command prompt:
adb remount
adb push LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app
Once you add it, select the live wallpaper then settings and you can chose "sexy nexy".
(I'd post it but I'm not sure if its warez or not.)
installed easy just follow the directions

Allright tanks .
Funky settings to
this is cool, except could not get it going by doing,
adb remount
adb push livewallpapers.apk
i got it to work by doing
adb remount
adb install -r livewallpapers.apk
work first time like that, just incase anyone else tries and couldn't get it too install the push way.
Looks sweet with the new color schemes available. I would love an option for a black background.

+1 - I've been using Live Wallpaper with the black background but I would love to have the colors changed as well. I don't like the minesweeper look for the background.

GOT IT! First, albeit very limited, foray into modifying apk files. The attached apk has all the settings AND new(er) dark minesweeper background but the "normal" background has been replaced by a black background, just as I like it. Enjoy!

Does anyone know how I can get this turned into a live Wallpaper...
I was pointed to some information about programming - but it was beyond my skill level
Welp, dumb dumb here, I put the apk on my sd card, and just installed it from AndroZip instead. Once it was done installing, I click Done, and them *poof* phone restarts.
Back in phone, background is black.
Clicking Live Wallpapers from the menu causes a FC.
Just giving a heads up to others that try to cheat and be lazy.
And looking for some advice on how to fix this!
Thanks!

Restore to the Nandroid you *hopefully* made before installing it? You could also try the push adb method, which worked for me, and maybe it will overwrite what you installed.

EDIT-------------------------------------------------------------------------READ THIS
ok so right after i posted this i stopped and thought about something. im not sure if your icon placement and widgets and everything you have on the homescreens are in rosie.apk or elsewhere so DONT DOWNLOAD THIS until i get an answer because i will feel really bad if someone does DL this and loses everything on their homescreen.
EDIT--------------------------------------------------------------------------READ THIS
so please dont bash me for starting a thread with this but i really got annoyed when i added a homescreen wallpaper but the quality was horrible. so this rosie.apk has simply one new wallpaper and it is the first one. it is the google X from the nexus one bootscreen with blue green red and yellow for the X and the rest is a dark dark black.
Install-
download the rosie.apk
open a file manager with root access and copy this rosie.apk over the one in /system/app
really simple but i love the amazing quality. if people want i will replace all the home wallpapers with custom ones. throw me some ides to put in the spots.
hope you all like it
LOL dont the widgets have their own .apk? I believe they do...From what I see there are no widgets in Rosie.apk.
yes
but i mean rosie tells it where to go so unless by some goddly chance they have everything i have in the exact same place then there will be nothin but errors for the widgets.
anybody else have any info?

I was hoping the black wouldn't be so dark
it wont let me copy over to system/app. says system is read only.
why don't I just put the wallpaper on my sd card and set it that way. seems way easier than replacing my whole rosie.

Did you get any error message in ADB or did it tell you how much data was pushed? Also, I'm assuming you went ahead and set the wallpaper manually.

This is probably a newbie question, but if I load up this APK, how do I get back my original live wallpapers? I use the HTC Droid Incredible, btw.
question to those that have it ...are there settings in this lwp like change background or maybe the color of the eye ..or what i see is what i get from the pic shown

Try this
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk LiveWallpapers.apk
That will pull your old Live wallpapers. Put those where you can find them later and put the new LiveWallpaper.apk in your <sdk>/tools folder (because you can't have two files with the same name in the same directory).
Then proceed as directed in the first post.

No settings. Just the option to save it. You can probably change the back ground though by pulling apart the .apk
** EDIT **
Okay, so I tried opening the apk and replacing the droid_bg.jpg only to find out whatever I replace it with comes up as a blank white screen (I even sized it to the odd 1025x1025 size the old one was even though both of them had large white areas in the .jpg). If anybody else wants to give it a try, I am attaching the wallpaper I was trying to use. It is the default regular wallpaper from the Droid X

I'm a total newbie, so I haven't rooted yet. I don't think I'm considered a "power user" yet, so I didn't want to accidentally brick my phone. I came over from blackberry, so I'm still getting used to this new system. Soon enough I'll be getting my hands dirty with this rooting business.
Anyways, I don't have the ability to pull the original Live Wallpapers... would it be possible for someone else to pull theirs, and post the APK online for me? I've been using "AppInstaller" to implement all of the APK's I've downloaded. Just been playing around with the Galaxy S LWPs. If it's a hassle, don't worry about it. I'll figure root soon enough.
Thanks for the quick reply, by the way!!
Can someone upload a version thats not .apk so i can download it on my phone, im at work
standalone version
Credit to ccunningham83 for posting this.
Standalone version
This is what I did:
decompiled,
changed the package and app name,
removed LWPs that install by default,
rebuilt,
signed
updates:
1)removed unnecessary images too, file size now 1.1MB
2)added Blue, Cyan, Green and Golden eyes!
3)added a blue eye version with alternate background.
4) 7/15/10, added grey version by request.
5) 8/30/10, by request added a red version with black background. No smoke.
6) 9/15/2010, by request added a new red version with the smoked grey background
7) 1/20/2011, green eye with colored smoke
Screenshots:
To uninstall:
Code:
adb uninstall com.android.wallpaperx
APK attached, install as normal.
MediaFire Links:
[blue] [cyan] [gold] [green] [red] [blue-alternate bg]
[grey]
[red-greybg]
[green-colored smoke bg]
Here is a video by myghtymouse19 showing all versions on an EVO:
I had issues trying to remount so copied the file to the root of SD then used Root Explorer to copy and paste as R/W into /system/apps/ then click on the the apk and install it... then youll have it. Also even though you overwrite the default wallpapers, this file is the default wallpapers file with one file added the droid x eye lwp, thats all... so your not loosing anything.
Thanks Britoso! Works great!
Brilliant work guys, especially britoso.
Just adding that this also works fine on the Desire. I just used Astro to install britoso's .apk and it worked fine. It even kept all my current Live Wallpapers and just added DROID X to them.
Hope no-one minds but I made a post in the Desire forum pointing to this thread to share the love!
Thanks again,
Oz
Well it got 4 views, but now link to the attachment is broken....any particular reason, Britoso?
EDIT: Nevermind, back up. Thanks
many thanks to you, britoso! the file worked beautifully
I was able to push the apk just fine to my N1. I'm now running Samsung Galaxy S, N1, and this Droid LWP.

well i asked a question right before you posted "answer:" and your "answer:" had nothing to do with my question. what an @$$h0le you are. or atleast made yourself look to be. anyways, its not a big deal.
You can follow these steps to pull the smoke news widget out of the smoked theme mentioned. These steps also apply for the news widget. A lot of the time I do not have ADB accessible and this method can be completed with only the phone.
- Save the smoke.zip file to your sdcard (this is the smoke theme already mentioned in this thread)
- Open Root Exporer and navigate to /system/app/ and mount it as R/W
- Move the stock geniewidget.apk to the SD card (/sdcard) in case you want it back later.
- Now navigate to the smoke.zip file, press on it and choose view.
- Navigate to the smoke.zip /system/app/ folder and copy the geniewidget.apk to your phones /system/app folder.
- Most important part now - long-press on the file and click on permissions from the pop-up menu. Permissions should be "read" for user/group/others and "write" for only user. All other boxes unchecked. If you don't do this it wont load.
- Restart phone and the transparent widget should be good to go.
This wont work for all apps - so make sure to keep the originals if you are getting creative. You can apply this across handsets, but try to stay away from system-dependent apps like cameras and power control widgets.

Im the asshole but you answered to something that had nothing to do with you right? I never was answering your question, I was answering to the OP obviously what you do when you post in a thread...you respond to the original post but ok, i guess so... maybe next time.
Anyway, he updated the app again so anybody who decided to use the app in the link i posted, go and update. =)
I'm just about ready to give up. I have been trying for a couple of days to make mine look like the pick I posted. Can't seem to get it done. It's really not that important, just thought it would match the other sense widgets a little better.
This is as close as I could get. For some reason I cannot get rid of that blue background in the widget, must not be editing the right file.

u need to uninstall the preloaded one from the tf and i think it is in system/apps so yes u would need root acess to uninstall that, and then u can simply install those. other devices dont need root to install but u need it because u need to replace the application which was preloaded.

No need to uninstall the original, just push the new one to system/app using adb, you can only have one at a time.

It can be done, but I'd rather not "fix" all of them. When properly modified, root access is not required. I will provide an overview of the process below.

When properly modified, you can have more than one at a time. However, each one requires a unique package name.
Now for the good stuff...
Upon seeing the excellent modifications Ruvort had done to the Asus MyWater live wallpaper, I instantly wanted one. However, my Transformer is not rooted and I did not want to lose my existing MyWater wallpaper. I decided I would find a way to make it happen.
I downloaded Ruvort's beer with lime live wallpaper from the xoomforums thread, took the apk appart using apktool, tossed in a new icon, changed a few text strings, changed the package name, re-built the apk with apktool, and then signed the new apk.
The resulting MyBeer live wallpaper happily coexists with the default Asus MyWater live wallpaper on my non-rooted Transformer.
The following commands can be used to install/uninstall the attached apk via adb:
Code:
adb install MyBeer-Signed.apk
Code:
adb uninstall com.mybeer.livewallpaper
________________________
An improved version of the Beer w/ Lime live wallpaper can be found here.
will you be re-modifying more?
I'm sure most people know this but you don't need adb, you can just download straight to your transformer and click on the downloaded file to install it. Don't forget to check Settings / Applications / unknown sources

VoXHTC said:

1. They already work. Get root explorer go to system/app and move my water to your micro sd card for backup.
2. Get th live wallpaper you downloaded and put it in system/app and then install it.
3. Go to the plus icon onyour home screen and then go to wallpapers and select yourlive wallpaper.
4. Enjoy!
NOTE: after installing the first one you can just go ahead and install the other ones. This will overwrite theold one withthe new one. You can only have one at a time.
Hope this guy who made the wallpapers continues his great work.

I wouldn't consider it hijacking Ruvort's work, merely adding to it so long as you give him credit for the underlying work. Then again I'm no android dev. so those unspoken rules may not apply here in XDA (although I've since instances of this in the Epic thread).
I'd say remaster them all so that the option is there for us to have more than just one at a time. Maybe write a newb guide to do so?
Thanks.
Xda is all about piggybacking and modding others ppl work. Just gve credit where its due and it is all good.

These are great...and that Yellow sub one is great...but I have one issue.
I can only load one at a time and only by naming the old ones to name.old and naming the one I want to use to MyWater.apk
Otherwise it doesn't show up as an option.
I've been in contact with Ruvort and will work toward providing versions of these live wallpapers that can all be installed simultaneously. It really only takes me ten to twenty minutes to "fix" each one.
I might even provide a guide for those interested in creating their own.
Thank you TS!

That would be awesome! I am familiar with all android stuff. If you put up this guide it would really be great. I mostly have free time so i would be able to get some new live wallpapers out. Please post this guide/tutorial.

First off I want to give a HUGE thanks to @supergrobi94 who pretty much did all of the heavy lifting for this project. He designed the apks and flashable zips that we are using and gave us permission to modify them for the Verizon variant. His work can be found here: Thread
I've been working with @kevintm78 to get some modified system apps with custom icons and such. I've spent a lot of time to try and alter the icons and spacing to make sure that it looks the way I want on the note 4.
If we decide to work on other themes we'll be posting them here. I'm hoping to get a dark background version of the settings and some darker notifications, but we'll see how it goes since apparently that's pretty hard.
I've attached a few screenshots below to give a taste of what it looks like and you can download it while we work on other themes. The first two are for this mod.
I've tested it on PaulPizz's CPF3 ROM v3.2 and it works fine, but it is based off of the N910F so there may be some bugs. Make sure to do a backup before flashing and understand that you are flashing this at your own risk. I will try to support it, but honestly I'm a little out of my league here. There is a lot of trial and error with the Samsung apks because they make them proprietary. Anyway, Enjoy!

Recently I have been enjoying the FullNote7Build2.1 from @chevyrhoads and have decided to make some themes for it. @Shane_Picardo has uploaded a copy of the ThemeSoftware (it's a version behind, but it works) that I've used to create this theme. I've been looking into changing the status bar icons, but I don't have a lot of hope since the file types for the Note7 port have changed again to some proprietary format that I probably won't be able to decode. I haven't touched the icons since I use Nova Launcher with Icon packs, but I have changed many of the system apps to be a darker theme. I've attached the preview images so you can see if you like it (the ones that start with theme). There is a limit to what the theme editor can do, but if there are requests let me know. I'm more interested in AOSP-like themes, but if another idea interests me I'll look into it.
Theme Store Instructions:
1) Download the appropriate apk (Note 7 ports have a different apk than Note 5 or S6/S7 ports)
2) Install apk, but do not apply
3) Navigate to /data/overlays/jsonfiles/trialjson and cut the file with the name of the theme you just installed
4) Paste the file in /data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson
5) Navigate back to /data/overlays and delete the preferences folder
6) Reboot and apply the theme
7) Enjoy!

First off I want to give a HUGE thanks to @supergrobi94 who pretty much did all of the heavy lifting for this project. He designed the apks and flashable zips that we are using and gave us permission to modify them for the Verizon variant. His work can be found here: Thread
I've been working with @kevintm78 to get some modified system apps with custom icons and such. I've spent a lot of time to try and alter the icons and spacing to make sure that it looks the way I want on the note 4.
If we decide to work on other themes we'll be posting them here. I'm hoping to get a dark background version of the settings and some darker notifications, but we'll see how it goes since apparently that's pretty hard.
I've attached a few screenshots below to give a taste of what it looks like and you can download it while we work on other themes.
I've tested it on PaulPizz's CPF3 ROM v3.2 and it works fine, but it is based off of the N910F so there may be some bugs. Make sure to do a backup before flashing and understand that you are flashing this at your own risk. I will try to support it, but honestly I'm a little out of my league here. There is a lot of trial and error with the Samsung apks because they make them proprietary. Anyway, Enjoy!

Dang, I was wanting to be the first to give thanks, but I've hit my limit for today. Consider this, as the check (thanks) is in the mail. Great job!
Thank a trillion for this. Flashed it and everything seems to be good. Is there anyway to get rid of the data icon when wifi is on? Kinda of litters the status bar with it there.Donation coming to u and supergrobi94's way.

I don't currently know of a way to conditionally remove the icon. I'll look into it though. I actually prefer it there so I know what connection I have for mms and the like.
Well... (?) what does everyone think of the mod?

One thing that I could do is have an upside down signal bar that would change based on your signal (1x=1 bar, 2g=2 bars, 3g=3 bars, 4g=4 bars) right above the cell signal bar so it doesn't take any extra space, but I'd have to remove the up/down data arrows for mobile data. Thoughts?
Also, are there other icons that people want up in the status bar? I can change bluetooth, NFC, alarm clock, and other icons if someone has better suggestions.
Thanks!
Hello @shadeau I was wondering if you could make a complete transparent theme with the wallpaper in your screenshots. One that would make the dialer, settings and messages transparent with the homescreen wallpaper as background in everything? That would be awesome. Also with dark blue fonts. If that is asking too much I completely understand, as I really don't know myself how much time and effort has to go into this. I tried installing the Samsung Theme editor myself with my internet turned completely off before opening it but I still couldn't get it to work. Thanks for your time.

I should be able to do that. Let me look into it. What color do you imagine for the sliders and check boxes (things that are typically a light gray color)?

Wow, that would be awesome!! I really appreciate this and wish you luck. Can't wait! As for the sliders and checkboxes, how about a bright green? I think that would look good. Thank you for doing this @shadeau Hope you have a great day

Okay, so the theme editor won't actually let me specify a transparent background unless it's an image file. Even if I specify a completely transparent image file as a background it just means that you see through to the very back of the app instead of to the background (so you still see black). In short, this won't work as you intended, but if you have a background that you want for every screen I could put that image as the theme background. It might be easier to try to get the program running on your computer though so you can play around with different styles and see for yourself.
If you want help with installing it I can see what I can do to assist. Reply here or PM me if you're interested.

Ok cool. If you could make the background image for every screen that would be good. The darker one from your screen shots would be great. Would that work? Thank you again for your time and doing this.

Well I just installed the Theme editor again and before opening it I went into windows firewall to block it but I don't see it listed anywhere. I looked for Theme Editor and Samsung Theme editor. Is it listed as a different name? Thanks

You need to manually add it. Open windows firewall, select advanced settings, select inbound rules on the left, select new rule on the right, select program and click next, find the program in the program path selection area, select block the connection and click next, select all of the things listed for when it should apply and click next, name it something like Theme inbound and click finish.
Repeat the process for outbound rules. Hope that helps.

I want to thank you again for your help, but I still can't get the Theme Editor to run on my windows 10 pc even after blocking it in Windows firewall. Don't know what else to try.

I've currently got the theme editor running on two windows 10 computers just fine. Could you be more specific on what is failing when you try to run the program? You might want to download it again too.

I would uninstall the program completely, re-download it, and try installing the newly downloaded file. I didn't get that error with either one of my installs. The firewall fix makes sure it doesn't try to get updates. It might help to disconnect from the internet while you're installing it too just to see if it helps.
