Livewallpapers.apk - General Questions and Answers

There's a core app in Android, called Live wallpapers.apk, which can be deactivated. Deactivating it doesn't seem to have any impact on live wallpapers function on my phone. It's the love wallpapers picker app that is needed for live wallpapers to function, and it can't be deactivated.
So, does anyone know what the Livewallpapers.apk is needed for? I'm planning to uninstall it (I'm rooted).

Wallpaper picker picks helps you to select wallpapers and change their settings if any
Livewallpaper.apk is used in setting that wallpaper to your screen and there after for the wallpaper functioning

But as I said, I can set live wallpapers and they work flawlessly, with Livewallpaper.apk uninstalled.

Well, none of the 20 live wallpapers I have installed has a problem yet.
After digging a little bit the apk, I saw that it has to do with the AOSP live wallpapers, not 3rd ones. Live wallpapers picker is the vital one for them to work.

it works smoother than widgetlocker, but it needs more customization options like:
ability to add widgets
ability to use the notification bar
ability to change background
language support!
faster theme downloads

You can change background by adding your choice of wallpapers to sdcard>miui>wallpapers. The other features are yet awaited.

Widget locker is years ahead of MILocker. I have no issues with smoothness.
MILocker is a 'nothing' app for me. I have MIUI already though.

I am trying to use some of these themes with MiLocker:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18099900#post18099900
Having trouble, though...the app won't recognize the .mtz files when I put them into the MIUI/theme directory, and in fact it actively deletes them from the directory! Anyone else seeing this behavior?
edit: I came into this thread from Google, but I don't have an XPeria device, I have an HTC THunderbolt.

Match wallpapers

I've got a problem with matching the wallpapers of the homescreen and lockscreen. I want them to be exactly the same but you can't simply set both of them at the same time like I did with my previous phone. Does anyone have a solution for me?

I use QuickPic and here's how I do it: open the image that you want - click menu - set as - then you can select it as for the homescreen wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper. Works on Stock ROM 4.4.4.

Organizing appdrawer

Hello, i just wanted to ask if there was any possible way to add the possibility to organize the apps in the app drawer, i actually can't with my 4.4 mokee rc7 rom.... Is it possible to add that feature witout changing launcher?
Sent from my NX507J using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No way to rearrange things in stock launchers. You either have to install a launcher that let's you do something like that or use an xposed module that let's you do that(I haven't come across such a module).
I really hope somebody is working on such module

[Q] VPN shortcut, how to?

Does anyone know how to add a shortcut for my VPN service (built in) to the homescreen? Default launcher.
I look for the same, but cant find solution at the moment
The OpenVPN app works better and it has shortcuts.

With Nova launcher, I can have the shortcut on my desktop without it, but it's buried too deep in settings I always forget how to get there.

Is it possible to use an MP4 file as a live wallpaper in Nova without another third party app?
Nope and this is the wrong forum for that. The mods will probably delete this or move it to q n a
