2. Download Root Explorer. (u can get it free on 4 shared or other site)
3.Download the attachment file (sdcard.rar) and extract it on ur sd card
4.Open root explorer allow super user permission now on ur left hand side is a button named "mount r/w" press it now it will show "mounted as r/w "(go to preference and select sort order name (desc) for convince in finding required folder)
5.Now go to sd card copy "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk" to "/system/app/" (check that it is mounted as r/w)
6.Now again go to sd card and select "libRS.so" and "librs_jni.so" using multi select and copy them to " /system/lib/" and then just restart ur phone.

yea i did that also.. but i dont need it now.. as i installed Kyrillos' MOD...
dont have to restart once done properly wallpaper is enabled, i did it everytime and it worked without restart.
Good one:
But the codes given in the old method were used to copy paste the same
Root explorer does the same copy paste minus the code typing!!
Thanks, Bud.
Works pretty fine...
works perfect. and no need to restart at all
gud one....works perfectly
thanks it works as a charm
y not as an update.zip?? its more handy..!! :O
Thanks, Bud.
Works pretty fine...
please
its says "paste failure there was not enough free disk space to complete the paste operation" what should i do now? and yea its on r/w
its ok i did it
how long does your phone last with this
You can follow these simple steps to change the original stock boot animation into something amazing.
I am using Root Explorer, which is a paid app in order to do this. If a free app can be used to do this process, please let me know!
Ummm...I posted this before in the G2 section, but GScript lite and the line
Dd if=/mnt/sdcard/splash.IMG of=/dev/block/mmcblk0pl9
Reboot
As a custom script with SU priveleges works fine for me. Just copy the IMG
file into sdcard root and execute the script. Works on my vision and TP. All free, just a wee bit of typing, and keeping a close eye on auto-correct.
Need to find the splash image location next.
Sent from my very "non-stock" TP.
Ok I was an idiot and accidently deleted my original Cyanogenmod animation. Any kindred spirit out there that would like to upload theirs?
Dear reverendkjr
May I known that which launcher are you using on Touchpad at video ? how can I download it from XDA ?
Thanks

I've been instructed by many people that ES File Explorer will provide the same functionality as Root Explorer as long as you grant root permission and mount the system. I tested this and they are correct. ES File Explorer is free from the market.

Google Talk is Google's messaging service. It has been around for years. A few months ago it started offering video chat, and now that is available on Android. This app will remove the requirement to be on wifi to use video chat.

easily done in 1 step. No need to do all those steps.

Yes, that works if your version of Google Talk already has video enabled...
However, the steps in the OP will enable video and enable video over 3g/4g.

Look for a "mount r/w" option near at the top. This will make the location writable; allowing you to make the desired changes. What file explorer are you using?
this is an interesting topic because I have the Samsung epic touch galaxy s ii for sprint, and I've been able to video chat thru 3g/4g/wifi the entire time, no modifications required. I wonder why at&t would block that for you guys?

Is this still a current version? I am planning to put it in to ICScrewD 2.1 and running a search this is the best option I have found. Am I right?
I am not sure.
I have gotten auto updates from the market since this install though, so i believe you can make it current and then push the apk into the ROM

Check the options "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System". Then click the "Favorites" on the top bar, select "/", navigate to /system/etc/, find gps.conf and delete it.

i did reboot opened google maps and it showed exactly where i was. And the problem that bothered me was me keeping gps turned off all the time only to find that it would turn itself on which I do not like. I want to disable it permanently because I don't think its nessecary for basic phone and web service. I dont feel that my movements should be tracked for any reason it's just weird! If I am correct the phone service is done through the wireless connection not gps?
Shouldn't u prefer changing ROM?
Problem solved and closed! The original instructions are correct & results are as originally claimed in first reply to the op. For some reason it didn't delete properly the first time,I fixed this by restoring my backup & re-attempting. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED
Well I could have helped, but I'm an optimus one user, so I don't know which one is a stable optimus v rom...asking an optimus v user will be better...

Well, not sure entirely what device you have, but typically the Contact related apps are held in the /system/app partition and when reinstalling, you can't just sideload the apk like you can for a Play Store app. You must have root access and move the apk files to the /system/app partition either with a file manager with root access and change the permissions (very important or they won't work or open!) or flashing through a custom recovery. If that fails and you don't have the option to just reflash the rom then just get other Contact apps via the Play Store like Go Contacts & Dialer, ExDialer, etc.
Hi, thanks for answering my device is is like a Mi3 (xiaomi) but internally is not like the original, carries a mt6589, I have root access, what I do is copy in system / app those contacts.apk and contactsprovider . apk I grant permissions to install and run, but after that did not start. I put ex dialer and it works but does not allow me to save contacts.I can not find a rom for this device.
this is my device information

permissions which I speak is of these, but more than not I put the application is running, I have tried many different contacts.apk and contactsproviders.apk rom, is there any place where I can get more information about the version to know exactly which can be compatible with my version
Maybe something like this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.specdevice

ok, thanks, this is data that gives me similar to those that gave me cpu z,
rom version you think is the most compatible and contactsprovider.apk contacts.apk to extract? is a miui version.
Hmm. Well, I found this: http://rom.xiaomi.cn/list-169-1-7-11-1-2 that has a download link corresponding to the JXCDNAL 2.0 build that is listed in the screenshot. Could be worth looking into.

also download this http://www.needrom.com/mobile/fake-mi3-mt6582/ but when unzip, system is not a folder is a. img and not as open
-Download this ZIP and extract it, put the folder to SD card.
-Install ES File Explorer from google play.
-Open the ES File Explorer, press Menu Key and Choose "Tools", and then Click on "Root Explorer" (not on the button "ON")
-Allow Root Access and Choose "Mount R/W" and choose every partitions as "RW".
-Long press on the apps you have extracted and choose both apps and choose "Copy" button below.
-Tap the right side box at the upper bar of the ES File Explorer.
-Choose "/ Device", tap "system" folder, then tap the "app" folder and "Paste" the two apps (Contacts.apk and Contact Provider.apk) you have extracted from the zip on this "app" folder.
-Reboot.
These apps are from MT6589 device running on MIUI v5.
This may solve your problem.
Good Luck! :fingers-crossed:
