Many of you must have tried to enable live wallpaper on Galaxy 3 by using the method given by other members of Xda the coding one but I guarantee I won't ask you to write any coding.
1. Just Root ur phone use z4root for android 2.1 and super one click root ur for android 2.2
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.
7.And if u have done it right enjoy with live wallpaper on ur galaxy 3.

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...

Do you mean the set permissions check boxes? Then long press the pasted app and select permissions. Then select the desired permissions (generally user-rw, group-r, other-r, for system apps). Then just reboot the phone.

What app you try install? Give the link.
Just saw this...nexus prime boot animation. Its in a flashable zip, but I tried & it didn't work so I extracted the bootanimation.zip & placed it in the system/media folder. I got it to work after that. Looks cool. Ill try to provide a dropbox link with the zip if I can...
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/08/download-nexus-prime-boot-animation/
Edit: here's the zip I extracted http://db.tt/RiwoxsLN
Installed it earlier as well
You guys are better then me. I downloaded it and it wouldn't flash...of course, so I put it in the folder you said and I still get the eclipse boot. Any ideas?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Check the data\local\
Sometimes bootanimations are put there.
I had a problem with bootanimations and no matter what I did, I still got a different one, but when I SBF to 2.3.4, it worked again. so check data\local and if that doesn't work, maybe a SBF will.

Did you use the zip I posted in the link above? You have to place the zip in system/media. Rename the old bootanimation to bootanimation.zip.bak so you can use later if you choose. also make sure your change the permissions to r-w-r-r
OK good I am new to this I got the zip moved and found where the permissions are but the check mark dont make sense as to what u are saying

I figured it out read write no ex then next line read only and next.line after that read only. Thank u now if the phone will just come out I can buy it and have the real thing I am ready

Just saw ur edit...thought it was a signature and skipped it lol
I'm having issues copying the zip to system/media.
It says it is read-only.
I clicked on Mount R/W in the Media Folder.
Am I changing the permission on the Media folder?
Keeps telling me the file system is read only.
Can someone offer a bit more instructions? THX

Are ya using root explorer?
Try just mounting /system as r/w and media will be included.
I wouldn't go messing wit permission on system folder manual checking boxes. Only time I did that I had to sbf lol...but I was changing /system permission using checkboxes
Yes, root explorer and I did touch the Mount R/w on System...still says you can't paste here because the file system is read only. I'm on Eclipse 1.1

Did u try reboot and start again?
It SHOULD allow u to mount system r/w
That is if u are rooted. Lol
All u should have to do to be able to do stuff to /system files is touch the gray button on top that says Mount r/w
it should change.to saying " mount r/o" when ur system is editable.
Does it gave DIRECTLY to the left of that gray button "r/w" after the total memory used/available?
Oh...I'm awake now.
It works when the button displays Mount R/O.
I read it as that meant it was currently set to Read/Only.
Not that was to toggle it to R/O.
THANKS MAN
I thought that is what was happening
Believe me I've been there...that's why I asked those questions like that lol ..I was hoping u didn't take it as me thinking u were dumb lol...just been there done that before...red bull always seems to help me in a situation like that Haha...
Yay another thanks for me? Im trying to get 100 thanked posts before I reach 850 total posts. I like helping fellow x2ers...I pretend to know more than I do tho haha...I just read alot.

Hey,
what u did with the files?
You know that u have to replace them in system?
So try this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331710
Use rootexplorer or kind of explorer which apply to go to system files.
Then copy (replace) it in system>app.
If you use rootexplorer, remind that you have to change it from "R/W" to "R/O"
(on top) which allows to replace files!
After doing it, clear the data like it's written in OP of the link.
Much succes

This. You dont have to actually "install" the market (or any other stock apps), but you'r supposed to push them to the system app folder where they belong.
Also dont forget to change from R/W back to R/O (i believe the guy im quoting didnt get it right, as R/W stands for read write, and R/O is for Read Only. But im not entierly sure. So its from R/O to R/W, place file, then back to R/O)

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...

Launch Root Explorer

Scroll down to the General Preferences section
Press External SD Path
Enter /mnt/extSdCard as the path and press OK
Once you back out of the preferences a tab should show up to the card now.

That worked perfect, Thanks. Now one more question. I have been trying to install a different color keyboard through Safestrap but they keep failing. Someone said to rename my keyboard apk to the new keyboard apk. Is this fairly easy to do? I guess the hard part is finding the correct apk's.
