This is a pretty trivial request given what some people are asking but I don't like the choices of live wallpapers in Kitkat and want to install the water live wallpaper that's been around since the Nexus One.
It's there a way to do that without rooting the phone?
Thanks

Found them and tried to load an apk called livewallpaper.apk. It just fails. On the N5 there is a livewallpaperpicker.apk which there is on the GN so I am not sure if I need that one instead?
The blue PhaseBeam is fine, unfortunately the water and nexus run like ass on the n5. Try for yourself.
good day.

Thanks. I installed the phasebeam OK but the other apkn won't install. No error, just did not install.
Plus I can't find water or nexus apk anywhere. I wonder if they are part of the livewallpaper.apk which I can't install?

That's odd, that LiveWallpapers.apk is what has both nexus and water. I'm running a stock deodexed rom and it installed fine. I do have app verification turned off.

All credit goes to persiansown for the initial Nexus release in this thread.
Confirmed as working for non-rooted users
These are not Nexus One specific
I've tweaked the files a bit and they should install on a non-rooted phone now, all of the libraries are written to /data instead of /system. This makes the apks inefficient, the largish library is installed with every wallpaper.
It's entirely up to you of course and no, I can't do anything about the performance (but it's no different than the port for root users)...
Just install like any other app.
Note to root users: you're better off using the original version.
Thanks for this. Appreciate it. seems to work fine
Works great for me also...but lags the sh*t out of my phone..so uninstalling

Yeah, you can just put on the root of your SD and install with Astro.
It works for N1 2.2 Froyo FR83 (unrooted) but even on the N1 it lags the phone quite a bit. I do like the dandelion one though. Maybe someone can optimize it for the other phones.

its not that they changed the name its the fact that they changed it to something that doesn't make sense. Android market told u everything u needed to know in the title, a place to buy Android things, Google play just doesn't sound good, what is it? a play place?
My guess was it had to do with some settlement or patent thing with apple etc. smh

If its not possible then remove the old market apk from system/apps and reinstall this again.
I really like the google news and weather app that is on my phone. Is there any way to get it working on the Fire? I tried placing the apk in my /system/app folder and changing permission but upon reboot it was not showing up in my app drawer. There must be more involved.

I know what you mean. I pulled the APK from my HTC Inspire 4G and sideloaded it on KF. It even works with-out rooting. You have to give it a zip code to make it work, but thats no big deal.
If you don't want to type a zip code in and want to use geolocation you could install a modaco custom rom. The rom has built in network location and play store. You should only do this if you have already rooted and installed twrp. What you have now is probably fine.

So it sounds like you got it working then. Would you mind uploading the apk you used? Are you using a stock ROM by chance or something else on the Fire?

Thanks, I will grab it and try it out when I flash back to a stock type rom. I am trying out CM7 right now and it has the app installed. Hopefully this one will work with a stock rom.
Thanks
Well I got it installed on the stock rooted rom I am running but it will not show up in the app drawer I can open it through titanium backup though. Seems weird it will not show in the app drawer. Unfortunately I have no way that I know of to get it to my favorites and not have to go through titanium backup to open it. Wiping dalvik and cache didn't work, nor did clearing the launcher data.
edit......
After rooting my S3, I got a little over zealous uninstalling all the bloatware. As such, I mistakenly deleted the alarm clock (ya know, the one that works with S Voice). Does anyone have the apk for the stock touchwiz alarm clock? The only downloads I can find are modded versions ported for other phones.
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to download a stock rom and search the zip. Normally they are located in the \system\app directory. Make sure you match permissions with other system apps.

Hi there, this is how i fixed my alarm problem
firstly download the clock apk relavent to your phone, i think that there are 3 different ones provided in this thread.
Secondly you need to download something from the play store called "Rom toolbox pro" its £3 but if you ask in the forums here someone can probably point you to a free one that does the same thing.
make sure your phone is rooted, install and run Rom toolbox pro. click on Root Browser, navigate to where you put the APK on your phone, copy and move it to root/system/app. Once you have moved the apk find it in the app folder, click and hold it for a couple of seconds. A menu should popup with options, click on "permissions" set them so they are like this. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2pphiyo&s=6 If you are using a different app you will need to set your permissions accordingly, yet again im sure there is someone on here clever enough to help with that.
Now just restart your phone, the APK will run on boot.
These are the exact steps i followed and they worked for me. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2h353dl&s=6
I hope you have the same luck

I liked the Windy Weather live wallpaper that came with the GSIII, but I didn't like the ever so noticeable watermark that is on it. I've also seen requests for versions without the watermark so, I took it out back and beat it senseless until it was gone. See the screenshots below for a preview. (I will add more screenshots later)
READ BEFORE INSTALLING
- I recommend making a back-up of the original WeatherWall.apk at /system/app BEFORE installing this.
- This only removes the AccuWeather watermark. The name of your current city will still be visible.
- This live wallpaper was pulled from a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III. Although it should, I have not tested if this will work on other versions of the Galaxy S III. I don't think it will work on other phones (because of screen size issues), but it may!
- You must have root in order to install this.
- Install at YOUR OWN risk. While highly unlikely, I take no responsibility if this damages your phone in any way.
Installation:
Manually:
1. Download the WeatherWall.apk provided and put it on your SD card
2. Open up your favorite file manager application on your phone that has system read and write capability. I prefer Root Explorer
3. Navigate to wherever you placed the downloaded .apk and move it to "system/app" overwriting the unmodified "WeatherWall.apk"
4. Restart your phone and enjoy!
NEW! Flashable: (Easier!)
1. Download the WindyWeather-NoWM.zip provided and put it on your SD card
2. Re/boot to recovery and flash the .zip file
3. Restart your phone and enjoy!
:good:
nice!
Thanks for this! Just waiting for the flashable version.

Hmmm... Also make sure when you're overwriting the old one that it sticks. You can do this by looking at the date last modified in your file manager. If it says anything but the current date and time then it did not overwrite it. If that's the case make sure your file manager has SU and root privileges and it is mounted in read and write mode. Once I get a flash working this should be much easier, but it does nothing but fail in TWRP when I try to flash the one I have put together.
ok thanks for working on it....but see thats the prob...there wasn't one there originally. maybe the rom i am on had it removed...but either way it should show up after moving it to that folder under live wallpapers right?
The key is to make sure that WeatherWall.apk is your /system/app directory. Normally you should be overwriting an old .apk. Like you said though maybe you're rom doesn't use it so may not work. As far as I know it 100% works with Touchwiz on ICS. Someone said it did work with an AOSP based rom, but I'm not sure if this was ICS or JB.
