Restore it, via SEUS if bootloader is locked. If it's unlocked flash a system.img from the development section (if you flash a system.img that's based on the stock rom (nearly everythinh besides the cyanogenmod rom) you won't lose userdata).
if i just want the transparent home which file do i use?

Yer I reflashed it straight away and have got back to the same point just trying to work out what stopped it working, I'll try and get the theme on again and see if it works if it doesn't then it must be the theme that's breaking it!
EDIT: Just done the same thing as above and its crashed my phone again - none of my apps will load and everything force closes as soon as I launch it! I've only changed a couple of other things, but I reset my phone after making the last change and before adding the theme. It must be one of the steps in the theme that is messing it up. Stage 4 is always the one that seems to make things go wrong - could that make my phone crash?
Are ALL the permissions set right they should all be: rw-r--r--it should work no problem

I've searched and I can't find it so I wonder it any one can help, I've just installed a Sense 4.0 ICS ROM but I really miss the default bokeh live wallpaper that came on the Desire by default, it was on the Sensation originally but it appears to have been dropped for the newest version of Sense. Does anyone know where I can get it for my newly updated Sensation?
I'm also looking for it... There's a bunch of bokeh look alike LWs but I want the original that came with my sensation.
If nobody has it would anyone know how to get it from old gingerbread Rom and port it to ics??
I use this one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urj5GW9AQF4
Thanks for the link but I'm a fan of the original... I managed to pull the apk from an ics rom running sense 3.6 the only problem is that on roms with sense 4 the apk doesn't install. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager's root mode and push the apk to /system/app/
Then, change the permissions to match the permissions of all the other apks there, I believe it's RW R R, but just match it to the others. To change permissions in Root Explorer, hold your finger on the file and hit Permissions or whatever. Not sure if ES can do it, but it probably can.
After it's in /system/app and the permissions are edited, reboot and it should show up in the Live Wallpaper list.
Edit: If that doesn't work, look up the APK signer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImtlbGxpbndvb2Quemlwc2lnbmVyMiJd This is ZipSigner 2 and it works perfectly. Sign the APK, then try to install it using a file manager or something, you know, install it like normal. If it still doesn't install after being signed, use the method above and push it to /system/app and change the permissions, then it should run without issues.
First off you need a deodoxed custom rom , next copy the desired APK's from your System/App folder or from the zip you flashed or from wherever.
Download and Install WinRAR or 7Zip and drag the APK onto the shortcut on your desktop. It should open it up , next extract the LDPI and the HDPI folder/s onto your desktop.
Edit your pics with any program e.g. Paint.net . Then replace the modified folder with the old one.
Next download SignAPKTics from APKTops and install that. Drag the modded APK to your SD card.
Click START , choose the APK , click next , choose Test Sign and click sign! Wait 1.5 mins! And ot should be done. Now just (with root browser) replace the old one with the modded one.
And re-boot! Enjoy...
hah great tip for us

I'm not sure if he has tried it with system app. replacing a file like systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk will make our device continously give FC message. we should use zip file to push the apk to /system/app. system app is also should not signed. I always using this trick without signing stuff and it works. we just need to make sure that we're replace the ordinary file (not the .9 one) and put a picture with same resolution with the original one.
Exactly my thoughts. Resigning systems apps is a big NO. I already did it twice (SystemUI.apk) and I ended up with no statusbar. Good thing I had a backup.

afaik, it's all or nothing. if you resign one system apk, you have to do for all system apk with the same key.

Thats the reason I prefer flashing instead of manually replacing the files cuz then you dont need to set the permissions. Its good for lazy people like me

The easiest and foolproof method is to use Ninjamorph or metamorph app from market.I've modified tones of .pngs with them.
First open the apk with the app
Exit the app
Go to myfiles/Androidthemes/workspace/name-of-apk/res/
Then go to drawable ldpi
Take a look at all of the .png files
Find which .png you want to replace.
You should make your own pic with photoshop or anything to replace it with exact resolution and name
Store it in the sd-card
Open the app again
Go to Existing project/name-of-apk/res/drawable ldpi
Click on the .png you want to replace
App will ask you to replace it with some other .png
Navigate to the modified pic
It'll replace the .png
Then go back to homepage of app
Then click finish project
Tap on the apk name
App will ask you whether you want to replace the original apk
Do as you want
Reboot phone
Make a nandroid backup before everything. cheers

yea metamorph/ninjamorph is great but i'd prefer to do it in PC and just push it via adb cuz i use photoshop and i find it a hassle to use my phone to edit apk's
It's for those guys who dont know how to decompile/compile apk files with their pc.But I agree with you, pc is the best way to go.

May be you should try it out first.Replacing system apps with root explorer is a very dangerous business.I'm familiar with that.My phone started to do endless boot loops which even a nandroid restore failed to fix and ended up in flashing a new stock rom.

agree
pushing it using adb is a more safer way, because if something goes wrong with forcing it to system then you can just repush the original system apk
you was replacing a running apk. there's no doubt it will give you FC message (lol). try your method to replace framework-res.apk or any system app/framework. b16h22 is right. your method is dangerous.

To modify the boot animation, extract the ROM, open system/media, extract bootanimation and use fastone photoresizer to modify it. Then zip the folder, zip the ROM and sign it using zip signer and flash it.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium HD app
Okay, tried the above. Renamed the old bootanimation.zip to boot animation.zip.bak , and pasted the file using ES File Explorer to the same folder.
Rebooted, and instead of the CM10 animation, I got the "ANDROID" animation from way back when, still rotated for portrait...
I rebooted into recovery, fixed permissions, and got the same thing.
I did exactly what you said above, and it looked like everything was right. Changed the Archive Format to .zip from .rar, and Compression Method to Store. Copied it to my SD card, moved it in ES File Explorer after renaming the original file.
GOT IT!
Fixing Permissions didn't do it, I had to manually go in and fix them to match the original file.
Worked perfectly, and looks great. MUCH faster than the SAPIR animation.
Thank you!
For anyone else needing to do this, the correct permissions are...
RW
R
R
nothing happened... where do i wrong?

I can't try it now but in the version on android police photos sphere should work.
this is what you can read on android police :
Note: Original credit goes to XDA and AndroidCentral Forums but the download below contains a camera/gallery build that we patched to allow users of non-Nexus devices to capture and view Photo Spheres.
I' m sorry but I can't post the link for download because it' s an external link
I flashed the gallery (android police) 3 time but in the menu there aren't the new gallery and the new camera,there are only the old ones.
Then I fleshed the version on xda but the situation is the same. Any solution ?
It worked for me.....I flashed it but no luck..then I opened the zip and put the apps in their right places....then I rebooted and I saw 2 camera and two gallery apps....Using root uninstaller delete the old gallery...then you're free to use 4.2 gallery and camera..Don't forget...after placing the apps put their proper permissions ( rw-r-r )

I push the googlegallery apk in system app, then i change permission in rw-r-r and owner in root- root. then reboot the device.
For me the gallery and camera work the only thing that doesn't work is photosphere
Now everything works! I pushed both apks into system/app, then pushed all the lib files into system/lib, changed all their permissions and then rebooted. Optional to delete old Gallery2.apk. Everything now works.
Note: photosphere lags. The blue dot moves at a per second basis. Will only take the first picture and lag big time, and gallery would force close afterwards.

Wow it is wonderfull and of the most delight design.
I used the .zip by androidpolice but figure out that the apk and libs were send to the wrong folder...
So following comment's advices I extract the zip and put the 2 apk in /system/app and the libs in /system/lib without forgetting to change permission as the other base apks and lib so: RW-R-R (all of this using solid explorer).
I also deleted gallery2 which suck^^.
So far this version of gallery is so SEXY and CLEVER, wow now the interface is very tiny and let a lot of space for taking pictures, etc..
The video mode work also good, maybe better than previous gallery on CM10-alpha3 Paranoidandroid rom.
I never expected something of photosphere, it launch but can't be used.
There is a possibility to retouch pictures, sweet!
The interface is neet, you have to see screenshots, just for that I recommend gallery 4.2.
One little point: no possibility to take pictures with menu button.(ok very small point)
Big problemanorama doesn't work for me, am I the only one or did I do a mistake?
For me, panorama works fine! The camera is so damn smooth :good: dhiru should implement it instantly if he released another JB 4.1- Build!!

Ok so thanks, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965895 link for 4.2 camera from xda instead of androidpolice's one and by doing exactly what I said earlier I'm happy that everything working smooth!
I was also able to took 2 pictures in sphereview ^^.
Ho and yes the panorama mode works.
Edit: the spheremod is working, I was able to take pictures, generate a file and then watch it in "3D"
Nevertheless for photosphere, pictures could only be taken following a vertical axe and I had to rotate a lot my arm so the result of my test is terrible: I had with a living room a composition of a door+ the ceiling+ another wall.
So the 2 remains problem with photosphere are that it is too slow, I mean to go to another blue point you have to move a lot and that you could only do it following one axe.
Edit2: The gyroscope seems to be the problem as said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965895.

Try reflashing your ROM if you can only go into recovery?
1. Extract the files from zip
2. Copy the GoogleGallery.apk and GmsCore.apk and paste into system/app, change permission to rw-r--r--
3. Copy the lib files (total 3) and paste into system/lib, change permission to rw-r--r--
4. Reboot.
5. Check the camera app and gallery if they're working.
That's what I did to make it work in CM10A3 and RemICS-JB, and also JellyBam.

Hey, thx for advice, but this solution don't work. I did it so, I install titanium backup, I did backup gallery file and uninstall gallery. Next I extract and rename file (like original gallery2.apk) and I go to system/app and copy files (googlegallery.apk and gmscore.apk) with change permissions. Now reboot and everything works fine. I have only one camera and gallery in menu. I change with this solution default desk clock and again work fine.
