Hi,
I've been reading stuff here in this forums for quite some time now but I only became a member just now. I have a rooted note 3 and I deleted some of the systemapps including bubbles and phase beam. I downloaded Galaxy Live Wallpaper App just now and this is the only time I realize that Live Wallpaper is no longer working on my phone. I'm not sure if it's because I deleted the bubbles and phase beam file. Or if maybe I deleted something else. I also remember deleting a system app named live wall paper picker, something like that. I was wondering if you guys can help me solve this. =) Is there a website I can download these files again? just to get live wallpapers up and running again?
Thank you,
Hey - just got my Nougat update yesterday. I am locked stock US Verizon. Had to do a hard reset to fix the Wifi issue. No I cant seem to find how to use live wallpapers. I am using the stock touchwiz launcher, so I only get the crappy Samsung store. Can you help me find Live Wallpapers to be able to apply them to my homescreen?
Thanks!

I would recommend switching over to the Pixel Launcher (found here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/pixel-launcher/pixel-launcher-7-1-1-3368800-release/pixel-launcher-7-1-1-3368800-android-apk-download/)
That way you can use the Google Wallpaper app which works pretty well.

Thanks - I ended up using Google Wallpapers on the stock TouchWiz. Still seems odd that Samsung does not provide a way to apply live wallpapers.
Hello guys. Coming from a Sony phone I just couldn't get used to the MIUI launcher. Every app that's installed, is on your desktop. I rather have them in the app drawer instead. If you're like me, here's a collection of Xperia apps, that work just fine and without the need of root. I haven't ported them, just found them in the xda forums and got them together.
List of the apps:
Xperia Launcher 11.3.A.0.17
Xperia Launcher 11.0.A.0.7 - square folders on desktop
Sony Launcher beta 12.0.A.0.15 - the old weather widget won't work - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397909042
(thanks to Ben Ling for the links)
Clock 5.2.0.243 - Play Store widget that mimics Xperia's clock and shows the alarm clock correctly.
Album 9.4.A.0.24
Album 9.5.A.0.30 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397903554
Music (Walkman) 9.4.2.A.0.0
Photo Editor 8.0.A.0.11
Xperia keyboard 8.1.A.0.12
Calendar 20.4.B.0.5
Weather widget 2.4.A.0.5
Link in Google Drive.
I have tried these apps on MIUI 8, 9, 10 global dev. rom on Mi 5s, Redmi 4x and Mi A2 Lite. A2 Lite shows properly the notifications and icons on the top part of the screen and looks pretty well
I see you are a man of culture as well. Thanks for the post although I have been using them for a long time still I can use your links when I do a fresh install.
Thanks for the good words
I've also been using these for more than 2 years and finally decided to collect them in one post.
Looking forward to seeing the new Sony launcher.
I've done a repository that keeps the most recent versions of the mentioned Xperia apps. There are also some other apps like Telegram and Chrome. This repository is based on F-Droid and uses their app to connect and sync. So if you want to give it a shot, add the following repository in the F-Droid app:
http://unicastbg.ddns.net:801/fdroid/repo
This is in testing mode, no https at the moment and I can't get the descriptions metadata to work. But if you know the apps by name, you should be fine.
The server runs on a virtual machine and it's scheduled to shut down once a day for a few hours. This shut down is usually during US working hours.
Anyway, if you want to test it, give it a shot. I haven't edited the apks, for which their original signature should prove that. It's just something I wanted for some time and finally got it working.
Recently, thanks to @strongst I learned that I could freeze the System Update app to get rid of notifications (using Titanium Pro).
This made me wonder… Wow, what else could be frozen, or uninstalled?
So what do y'all see as essential things to freeze for system performance?
Here is a list I found on a 6T thread, no idea if it's still applicable.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78474779&postcount=2
ANT HAL Service (Do not remove if you use Fitness trackers, at least that is my understanding)
Basic Daydreams 9 (I don't use this)

OnePlus Wallpaper (I don't use OP wallpapers, this may reset your wallpaper, even if you weren't using a OP wallpaper. Just reselect a new wallpaper no big deal. Note this does not remove all the stock wallpapers though)
OnePlus Widget (I don't use OP widgets)
OnePlusLogKit 1.0.0...

I debloat hell lot of things.. call me crazy.. but I want my phone to be very minimal and like I want... There could be some old apps also in the zip, but I have been using this since 6T... I use TWRP though not Titanium
Root/Adb/SAI not required !
• Download and install the Apk file/files directly.
• Open Google Wallpapers App and apply the live wallpapers.

Thanks to reddit user Orikirby(OP) for fixing the cloud data update issue on Marvelous marble and sharing the live wallpapers.

Hey, thank you for these! When I try to install the ones embedded in the zip inside the zip I run into errors. How do you install these?

Which device are you using? Pixel Live Wallpapers apk already exists on Google Pixel devices as system apk file, hence the Pixel Live wallpaper 1.4 zip won't install directly. All other wallpapers will work directly on Pixel without any issues.
Ther should be no issues on other devices.
Cheers.
Does ANYONE know of any 100% fully working ports of :
Pixel Wallpapers 2017 (Pixel 2)
Pixel Wallpapers 2018 (Pixel 3)
Pixel Wallpapers 2019 (Pixel 4)
Pixel Wallpapers 2020 (Pixel 5)
???
All other ports are fully working, (live data, live earth, Eclipse, Pinball, Bloom, live bloom), but as far as the ones Ive listed above, at least 1 or 2 wallpapers from each year listed cause "unfortunately wallpapers 18 (or whatever year) has stopped" to occur. I have tried literally every available port on the web, and none function correctly on the 6a. However, they all work flawlessly on my old 4a..
I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that they were all built back when Google was still using Qualcomm chips, before Tensor came along...
Just curious if anyone has found any 100% fully working versions of the ones I've listed abo6for the 6a?? Would be GREATLY APPRECIATED ...

Older apks were meant to work on SD powered devices indeed. Some shaders, function etc won't fully work on the newer Tensor (or Exynos) Soc and thus it'll most likely crash.
Obviously, it's possible to make all of them work but it's extremely time consuming and most of the important/popular wallpapers are already available on the new Tensor, either officially or from the ported apks.
Google devs working on these also clearly told me that they're not going to bring back the old wallpapers from Pixel 2,3,4 etc even though they work properly on the new Tensor as seen with these ported apks.
Google in-fact removed the Horizon wallpaper officially after the pixel 6a's September update. Luckily, I had already downloaded the wallpaper so mine is still there.
My friend had to uninstall all the updates to 'Pixel live wallpaper' app on his Pixel 6a and then download the Horizon wallpaper before updating the app via Play Store.
Cheers.

Actually, horizon is 1 of the few ports that I've had no problem with getting working..
Others, such as sights from the sun, burst, etc, seem to always crash.

Actually, the Saturn/Pluto/Mars etc used to work with the Pixel live wallpaper 1.4 version given above even with Exynos/Tesnor socs.
But Pixel live wallpaper apk has now moved ahead to version 2 so you can't install the older version 1.4 now.
Probably I should reconfigure them.
