[Q] Froyo Live - Captivate General

I figured I'd try the Cognition Froyo before we get the official. I like touchwiz but will try out the launcher app. However, I was hoping to get the new live wallpapers Samsung put into the leaked build. I found some fascinate ones in forum search but was interested in the captivate ones (like the beach one). Does anyone know where I can download them?
thanks

Learn to mount factoryrfs.rfs in linux, and you can rip out anything want for yourself.

You could download one of the older cognitions and pull the apk for whichever live wallpaper you wanted out and plug it into whatever Rom your running now. Beta 4 is the first Rom they are missing out of.

No, it seems Motorola made their own custom version. It definitely looks interesting.
I could easily rip it from the official Droid 2.1 update zip, but I don't feel like downloading it, and there could be a chances that it may not function properly, or not be made for our screen size.
Hmm what does this look like?
It is all red cross-hairs that are a lot thinner than the nexus lwp... also they have a fade effect that kinda resembles a comet trail... the background is also different kinda gray fading metallic grating texture. to sum it up its AWESOME. I seen a youtube of it somewheres.
Here's a video where you can see the live wallpaper mentioned.

I pushed the wallpaper to my Nexus, but like I predicted - it doesnt work. I pushed the LiveWallpaperPicker.apk, and the LiveWallpapers.apk from the Droid update and it still did not function properly. I'm probably not doing something correctly, or, there is just more that needs to be done.
i used root explorer and tried them both as well as changing permissions ro read/write wich at least replaced the live wallpapers home menu link but thats as far as i got... i noticed theres .odex files and im thinking maybe they need de-odexed... though i dont know and could be wrong as i am not no where near that knowledgeable about porting apps... all i can do is... USE THE SEARCH BUTTON ;-) and fallow directions!
Thanks again to XDA and their Dev community!

do you have access to the 2.1 droid dump?? it probably needs libs for it to function
I can't remember which Dev did this, but there is a LWP out there that modd the proginal Nexus LWP. Search for the Dev and request it from him. Why port something that can probably be modded from existing work?
Just a suggestion.

Chris Soyars did I believe.
I copied it from other ROMS. I've gotten as far as it being listed with the other live wallpapers, but it continuously force closes.
Does anyone have a link to the Droid 2.1 dump? Ill try to tinker with it.

um... i dont think its the same as the one i got with the official ota 2.1 update... it is totally different from the nexus one aside from the fact that it has cross hairs. i want this so bad in green especially!
I would pick this over the Nexus ... I admitted it, shoot me!
Any progress though as my HTC Desire is very interested in this ...
its called NexusMod and its in market..
Pete at alldroid or Blackdroid at droidforums.net have modded versions of this wallpaper try one of them for it
Could someone please give me a direct link so I can download it straight to my Desire. Do I need root for this?
That video showed a custom exploding Droidlife boot animation but I didn't see the Droid version of the live wallpaper. Have any other links?
[edit] Oh weird. This time it worked. Must have been something funky with their Youtub channel[/edit]

Updating Paid apps to 2.2...

How would I go about updating my paid apps so they work with 2.2? Is it as easy as just recompiling them with the 2.2 SDK? Or do I need the apps source etc. I am tired of waiting on some devs to update apps 4 weeks later...
Any kind of hope for an answer? I am talking about my own apps i have bought and i don't plan on sharing. Just would like some help. Google didn't turn up much.
why would you have to update apps you purchased? the developers update them, and most of them have already since 2.2 has been out for the n1 for a while now.
Not my nexusmod live wallpaper... its been 4 weeks and not one update to it. I wanna update it myself. Cause i own it and i can...i just don't know how.
not sure what you're doing wrong but I see it in the market for me? is this not the same app? did you run the market fix for the froyo leak that's in the dev section?
Um did i say anything about it not being in the market? It fcs when i try to use it with froyo.
aren't all those LWP's included in CM6? I would imagine you could just install the livewallpaper.apk from it and you'll have them.
it has nothing to do with the livewallpaper.apk... it's not coded for froyo. maybe a livewallpaper.apk from a 2.1 will 'patch it' but i dunno.
and it didnt' work in cm6 either, btw.
I need a good app dev. Its customizable nexus like wallpaper except you can customize it a pretty good amount which is why i bought it. Way better then stock .apks. i might ask stericson.

Request: Nexus One live wallpaper for epic 4g

i dont know if this is the right place for this, if not then i'm sorry. i have looked at a lot of threads and thought that i would ask cause i couldn't find one that addressed my phone. i have an epic 4g that is rooted and running Bub's AOSP Magic v 0.4.1 ROM. is there any way to get the nexus one live wallpaper on my epic. i really like this wallpaper. i know there is one in the market but i want the official one. i would greatly appreciate any help with this request
thanks,
daniel
I would actually second this request... I don't like the one in the market, I want the original.
Also, I think this should be in "Epic 4G Themes and Apps" instead of Development but I'm sure someone can move it.
*third this the one from the market is a battery eater!
You **** on my leg, ill cut it off! -Bieste
I know its on the Evo somewhere cause I used it on there when I had it.
But yeah the one in the market sucks.
i know. it seems like most phones have the nexus live wallpaper but the epic doesn''t.
p.s. sorry i posted this in the wrong section

Its all good. Someone should be able to move it for ya.
None of the galaxy s have it, must've been one of Sammy's decisions . But I third adding not just the neural network live wallpaper but all the aosp live wallpapers if possible

Maybe we need two versions of Cognition...

I don't know if it's the right place, I just hope DG can see this.
Anyway, every time DG updates Cognition Rom, we can see him switching from Touchwiz to Stock Launcher, or switching back, for different reasons. The same thing happens to the lock screen.
For example, this time DG removed Touchwiz for its laggy, but someone like me really don't care that little lag, I just think the transparent background of the app drawer is much cooler than the stock one...yeah, maybe I'm a weirdo...
Since nothing can make everyone happy, why not just make two of them at each edition, one is more Sammy and the other is more Stock?
Or take some time to learn how it works and you can put it back in yourself. That's the beauty, imho, of the android. You can make it fit yourself. DG is doin' what rox his sox, he's just offerin' it up to us unwashed masses.
I've gotten to where I can make the phone look any way I want and this is my first android phone. Patience and diligence. You can do it too.
ive pretty much learned how to put everything i like in place. launcher, keyboards, etc. the only thing im trying to learn is how to get my preferred lockscreen into any given rom. Is there anyone who can teach me or point me to some references so i can start learning how to do this.
The search feature can amaze you with its knowledge I have seen several threads and posts on the main cognition thread about changing the lock screen

Not to belabor the point, but Search is a powerful tool

Cognition blows! Its buggy, no live wallpaper, exchange mail doesn't work, Gmail doesn't push, random force stops... avoid cognition

His feature flip-flopping always ground my gears when I was using Cognition as my daily driver.

Wow, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.
To each his own, no need to rom bash.
Cog rom
Running Cognition 2.3b6, gmail pushes, live wallpaper works, etc. I agree the flip flop isn't great, but hey, he is doing this, and he doesn't have to. Until CM 6.1 comes out, I will keep using his ROMS.
Never had those kind of crazy issues with a Cog ROM. I know he has added/removed apps with each rev.
BUT... with that said he has justified each time he has taken a step back.
Plus - it clearly says BETA - meaning NOT A COMPLETED PRODUCT AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE
Sheesh.

Touchwiz 4.0 on Captivate?

With the Galaxy S2 and the brand new Touchwiz 4.0 interface coming out, do you think we'll see a port for our captivates, or for that matter, any of the previous generation Galaxy S models?
Depends on what the demand is for it. And if it is better. As most of us hate it now lol.
I'm sure someone will give it a try but whats the difference? I have not seen TW4.0 yet
There are many changes in design cues. More rectangular widgets, dots on the top moved to the bottom, etc.
I love CheeseWiz, I may try it.
Would porting an s2 rom even be possible? It's for sale for about a grand in europe, so I don't know if we'll see a system dump anytime soon with prices like that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I'd be willing to try it, just to try something new and to see if it is cool at all. I mean, it's not like I don't already have TWLauncher_3.0 Frozen w/ TiBu and I'm running GO Launcher.
I mean, it looks awesome, but it is samsung.....
They make some awesome things, but then if there is a problem, it'll never get fixed, even after working on an update for infinity years....
What are some new features in the new TWlauncher?

Just google Touchwiz 4.0 and watch some of the videos of it.
It looks from the videos I've been watching to be much better than CheeseWhiz 3. I'm sure that there's still plenty of room for improvement though. Wish we had a solid release date on the AT&T-compatible International model.
come on~ We've got MIUI now!!! Try flash the MIUI rom, it kills all other roms in the forum~~

MIUI looks kewl but guess its a personal choice.
I would like to stick to Continuum or Cognition before we have a stable 2.3+ Rom for the Cappy. ADW launcher or launcher pro do the looks for me.

miui is cool if you spend time setting it up but the lack of an app drawer bothers me. i like things hidded, with miui i have to mess with folders which is annoying for a cronic rom flasher. i have slowed doen on the rom flashing because i am tired of the whole proceedure of making thing perfect.
