Hi all,
I've been leeching and surfing on this forum for quite a while now and never really took the time to post a thread when i had a question. Normally i'd search the entire place but in this case i just can't find a good solution.
So here is my first question:
A friend of mine got himself the SE- Xperia, I took a good look at it and liked the theme's a lot.
Once I received the files (Root;my documents) and tapped on one of them they didn't show up in the todayscreen wich provides .tsk themes like T-mobile1+2 etc.
Now I know I can do such things as installing a new ROM etc, but perhaps thats a little to much for such an issue.
I'm not expecting a complete walkthrough, but perhaps if someone could help me a little i'd appreciate it.
Many thanks and greets from The Netherlands
Dindnt quite understood, you want just the wallpaper?
---edit---
This one works on mine, but the bars dont get flat black.... Nothing that cant be fixed, of course.
Got it from the full theme with extras, here:

Thank you very much,
I'll check that one out tommorrow to see if it works on my phone.
Have a look at ThemeGenCE. It allows you to customise the tsk for your phone:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1523
And still the .tsk file isn't showing up in the todayscreen (Start>Settings>Personal>Today>Appearance)
I got stuck at the third point:
) Connect your device to your desktop by ActiveSync and explore it.
2) Transfer all the unrar'd files and folders the My Documents folder of your Pocket PC, except the rlToday folder which should be transferred to the Program Files folder.
3) Apply the Xperia skin (Start>Settings>Personal>Today>Appearance).
4) Apply the Wisbar Advance skin (Start>Programs>Wisbar Advance>Theme>Use a Theme File): \My Documents\Wisbar Advance v2.x\Xperia\Xperia.skn
5) Apply the rlToday skin (Start>Settings>Personal>Today>Items>rlToday>Options): Skin: Xperia. Note that the download also contains WM6 style .png icons if you are using PPC2003SE/WM5 and want to use more modern looking shortcuts. If you don't live in Singapore, please edit the skin.xml file to the country of your choice (notepad works).
Anyone?
Thanks
you probably can get more info on the official modaco post, lol...
I use the Live Wallpaper creator script that I found here to create my own live wallpapers and it worked before now it fails at least I think. This is what I get as an output. also it does not crate even an apk.
As the title says, anyone knows how to add wallpapers into a Sony ROM?
You know when you tap'n'hold desktop, then choose wallpapers> sony wallpapers. Those are default in-built wallpapers. Is there any way to add some of my own?
I've searched google, and found nothing except for galaxy s2. That's why I'm asking for help here.
I've tried searching in framework-res.apk, but nothing except default_wallpaper.jpg.
bump
Using any root explorer go to system>wallpaper>default wallpaper>(paste your new wallpaper )here
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
Hello, I am trying to make an android live wallpaper for Xperia P.
The resolution for the screen is 540x960.
1) I exported the animation as .mp4 and it came out around 4mb. Is there a way to create an .apk using this mp4 file that will work as live wallpaper and if yes how?
2) Do I have to multiply the width if I want to fit more than one screens? So for three, would it be 540 x 3?
3) Can I just repeat the main live wallpaper(540x960) instead of multiplying the width so that the same animation appears on all screens?
Thanks in advance :good:
Anyone that has created a live wallpaper before willing to help?
For that you will have to decode the video yourself so that it can be drawn on canvas if you can do it then it can be done its difficult I know but that is the only way

So I found this tool to create the live wallpaper using a video file: http://www.lwpcreator.com/
The tool was made using code from another tool an xda member made.
But I encounter one issue, the animation skips always on the same frames so it's not smooth. The video format I used is .avi I tried few of them .mp4 was even worse.
Any idea why would that happen or how to fix it?
It's the tool's fault afterall it's not easy to generalize a code so that it can be used in different forms that's why coding is preferred over tools if it were this way anyone could build a graphic vedio and use it as live wallpaper and have it published
Bad luck my friend try contacting the developer of the tool he might know the answer

I hear there is a live wallpaper tutorial on the SDK? Can I use that and explore it so I can get an idea? I suppose it doesn't use video and draws it on canvas, the animations are coded but I could give it a try.
If you know which SDK/tools I have to download from the manager let me know.
EDIT: Nvm I found it. If you have knowledge about drawing a video on the canvas and you can help me out, let me know.

Send me your file I will make it for you. Takes about 5min
Also send me the raw mp4 or m4a or what ever video format it is. I will just use that. i have got one here as a template with a video decoder already built into it. Its nothing fancy. It plays in a loop and you can pick the frame rate.

HELP?
Hey guys, i have the same problem
I am quite good at animating and GFX, and i have tested my videos as wallpapers with the video live wallpaper app. But i was wondering, how can i create an actual APK out of this, so i can show it to some friends of mine, and why not publish it in google play? Any tutorial i have seen has been useless, all i want is a tutorial where i will only have to write down some code, load the video file, and then to convert it all in a .apk file?
