i've been using modaco's desire rom since alpha1 was released and i love the stock wallpaper on it. i have really enjoyed using many different LWPs since the nexus was released and i was wondering if anyone has edited the stock desire wallpaper to add a little action to it. nothing too fancy...maybe just the bubbles floating around or something of the sort. i hope i dont get flamed for posting a request, i just thought it would be a cool idea and i have no clue how to create a custom LWP...thought others may be interested in the idea as well.
i included a photo of the desire default wallpaper for anyone who has not seen it yet.

It would be nice for someone to port this to a lwp and post it to the Market for us non-Desire ROM folks.
just stumbled upon this....
http://www.sizzledcore.com/2010/02/...utm_campaign=Feed:+SizzledCore+(Sizzled+Core)
it looks like the default desire wallpaper is actually a LWP! i guess we will just have to wait until a complete desire rom is released.
Hey all! First and foremost thanks a lot for the awesome morphs, themes, ports, and apps! You guys are amazing... I got the 2.1 update for my stores droid and the neural network live wallpaper is awesome... any chance of getting it ported folks? Ill donate for a nextheme (green & blue) version... just wonderin and thought id ask. Keep up the good work everyone
Isn't that the default Nexus One LWP?

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]

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE WIKI
I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum. This is a good way to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the HTC EVO Shift 4G. This includes, but is not limited to, people that are providing the following:
- Roms & Kitchens
- Programs & Apps
- Fixes & Tweaks
- Skins & Themes
- Tips & Tricks
I would like to request the help from other members to keep the thread in order and in check. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question a billion times...
Please refer to the Wiki first before asking any questions though! It can be located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to disable Sense on the Evo Shift.
I've seen it done on the original Evo, but I heard that HTC phones with Froyo cannot use the default android launcher anymore.
is this true?

AOSP roms (which will come when there is permanent root) do indeed liberate the phone from sense
It will not get rid of sense at all, but you can install ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro to have a different/more customizeable home screen expirenece.
When using those you will not be able to use sense widgets either though.
I just bought my EVO Shift 4g. How do I figure out if I have done any updates that might have cost me not to be able to root? Also, what happens if i do Root my EVO Shift 4g? Is it similar to to the iOS Jailbreak?

Here's some good info on rooting. It's a linux term, and in a way is similar to "jailbreaking," but they're not exactly the same. If you want to root when permanent root becomes available for the Evo Shift, I'd play it safe and not update at all.
Does anyone know who is working on getting us permanent root for our phones?

Maybe good new? Not very definitive or explained, but they are working on it.

impaler, I just looked at your battery mod, lol, I know "just". It looks pretty cool, I know you have plans to test it on the Shift, but what icons will there be available for stock rom use? I like the plain battery icon but with the numbers in it like in Cyanogen 6, is that in there?

In spare parts there is an option to set the task manager to normal or aggressive. I never noticed this in my other phone. Is it along the same line as autokiller?

It should be different. Autokiller is a min free manager, which is much different from task killers. At this point in the progress of android, a task killer will not do much, except drain the battery.
So who are the developers that are going to be developing for the Samsung Nexus S 4G (D720)? I figured this is a question everyone has been wondering. Im very excited to get started with my Nexus S 4G! (Previously came from the HTC Evo and there were alot of dedicated dev., Hope to see the same here)
P.S I didnt put this in the Q&A Because this is a direct question to the developers in this section about the current ROM's Available. Please don't be upset : )
I hope netarchy puts up a rom with his liquid smooth touches. His evo rom + kernel was ILL.
The thing is, the nexus s and ns4g are dev phones, bare bone AOSP, so a custom rom is just gunna be "themed" a bit and/or the real "improvements" are in the Kernel or any additional apps the dev has created.
I would love to see a bunch of ports make their way over. I would imagine that a dev phone would be one of the easiest to port/build for (easy for a dev, not the average human )
in a way, we all are.. who is to say that someone has to be a "dev" to make something, or find out what may fix something? on the heroc we had hundreds of users sitting in an irc room helping each other trying to figure out why things didnt work and what would happen if we pressed this button 7 times instead of 4..
so in short grab some code and lets start working my repo is synced and already compiled im working with the rest of the ACS team to see if we cant bring some lovins on over from the epic/evo
trying to come up with a good name for the rom >.>
Well, its very time consuming. I did alot of theming in the past, then wrote a few apps for WebOS, but just don't seem to have the time anymore with fulltime work, college, etc.
You are right tho, anyone can learn and the nexus line are a great place to start, simple and not complicated. Come on young high-school minds with oodles of time! Make ur name known! Lol
Really tho, I wish I could contribute more

You know I have some time since school is over and now I'm just looking for work to pass me by til its starts again. NO BS if somebody could point me to the right way help me along the way. I would make a rom for the ns4g. Always wanted to just for self pride not for glory or money. So I'm here and ready!
I know alot of you guys don't know him. But ask any Droid owner about Peter Alfonso (BuglessPete). You couldn't ask for a better dev to work on stuff for your phone. * no pressure Pete
Seriously though shabbypenguin hit the nail on the head. We are in this together ...

This number one thing to do is get ur pc ready with the right software and drivers (there are a couple applications for compiling/decompiling and signing, not just what u use for root)
There's a thread around here about theming for the epic. It has a nice intro to the basic setup ull need, just be sure to replace anything epic with sns, u can then move on to ROMs once u understand what composes a ROM. When I'm back at my PC I could probably hook u up w a good place to start, but right now I'm out and about after this heathen Bulls game! Woot woot!

If I may suggest, Epic 4G is just about the same as the NS4G. From what I hear they got our stock to work on Epic just after I posted this.
I know they have the CM7 half way ported on Epic as well as the obvious stock with the TouchWiz interface for whoever likes that stuff I figured this would be the easiest place to start.
stop spamming this, its not going to work, for the same reasons why i explained in your thread about it
It probably will work as much as flashing a Droid ROM onto a Milestone...same hardware...epic fail.
more so then that all they currently have is a .32 cm7 kernel a semi working .35 cm7 kernel and their stock .32 touchwiz kernel.. we only have .35 stock kernel, even if you could get past the bootloops good luck trying to make a phone call or get crap to stop force closing
Spamming? Chill out man. I'm just trying to help.

dude, dont suggest things for other people to do. development takes time and dedication, which is already being applied to other ROM's such as Infused V2 and CM7 for the Infuse. be happy with whats given to you, or learn to develop sense yourself.

I have asked others to help me or teach me to make a rom nobody responds. unless you can point me in the right direction
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G
Those who help themselves and show actual initiative will get helped.
1) Do some searching and you'll find some great tutorials.
2) Don't request things from the developers in the Development forum. Don't post a thread here unless you're doing development (as in, you've got something to show, even if it's in alpha state) or debugging with a specific troubleshooting plan.
3) Remember that nearly all of the developers here are doing this in their spare time. This is a hobby for them. Donations of beer money might improve their motivation to put a little extra time into something, but asking for something which few people are likely to have an interest in isn't going to get you very far. Asking for Sense is one of these things. It was great for Windows Mobile but most developers thing it's a step backwards for Android. It's a slow resource hog, and just like Samsung's Touchwiz roms, nearly every implementation of it seems to be associated with a massively broken Bluetooth stack.

There are ways to get the HTC sense look on your phone. Unfortunately, I'm not sure a dev would take the time to cook a rom with sense.
Fancy Widget Pro, LP sense UI and agile lock.

This is not a development thread. Moved to General.
I wasn't aware that it was taboo to ask or suggest for something to get developed or the possibility for something to get developed. Good to know.
