So ever since seeing the ASUS Mywater live wallpaper a few months ago, I absolutely loved it. Not having a Honeycomb tablet, I couldn't use the .apk available in a thread somewhere on this forum. Once ICS came out, I figured that it would work on that. I was able to install the app, but if I set it as the wallpaper, it FCs [ the preview also shows the ice cubes as white blocks]. However, the ASUS weather widget works perfectly fine, and looks great with Launcher7. Is there any way I can get the Mywater wallpaper to work? By the way, I'm on an HD2 with a CM9 based ROM, IceCreamTosti.
Thank you for any suggestions.

I'm running KaosFroyo v39 and am able to run a few live wallpapers, but not all. Is there a fix for this? I have the nexus one wallpaper apk. but it wont load. It just gives me a blank screen. It does this for many of the wallpapers. Can anyone get it to work? If so, what rom are you running?
thanks
Live wallpapers are resolution-specific and many are unable to run on the droid eris due to the slow speed.
This is very true but there is the 2.1 nexus launcher rom that allows to use the rest of the wallpapers but I doubt you would want to roll back.
I had the same problem with the Nexus live wallpaper, but then I found this thread and it is now working flawlessly.
Nexus revamped lwp -update breaks it
See post #9
id really enjoy this live wallpaper for my vibrant
ive tried other links, but they all force close on me.
can someone work on this for the vibrant?
Does anyone use this with sense 3.0? Every time I try applying a custom background the image comes out distorted. Anyone knows a work around or a similar live wallpaper?
Nexus Revamped Pro 1.61$ but worth it. Its been customized to save battery life , tons of options as well , pre-set settings and works on Tablets. I had the Nexus Kang before. There are alot of options not shown in his preview version or on his profile. Heres a link the Android Market:

Thanks. I'll give it a shot
A few questions about the upcoming version of Android :
- Will it have a rotate animation ? Since Honeycomb had one I wonder, as I always missed that feature. I couldn't find the info...
- Will the SMS app will be revamped ? I'm getting tired of all the third-party apps that are getting heavier every day. I would go with the current stock app if it was slightly more personnalizable (at least being able to set your profile picture). So I hope it will be updated in ICS.
- I see alot of live wallpapers of the stock ICS wallpaper such as this one. Do we know if those live wallpapers are actually copies of the upcoming stock live wallpaper or are they original creations ?
If the latest, which is your favorite ?
Thanks !
-rotate animation yes
- dunno
-should be have more live wallpaper. I'm not a fans of livewallpaper. I'm back to gingerbread after installed ICS for couple hours. I'll disable livewallpaper instantly after every install...
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
The bane of ICS for me and my OCD is the terrible mixture of froyo and gingerbread style sony apps with the new ICS theme. I'm sure it goes against the conventions set in google's guidelines on how to make apps for ICS and its slowly but sure driving me me me much more insane.
I would be grateful on a discussion of what can be done to remedy this dreadful plight... I have gathered a couple of ideas but I am looking for more!
1. The music player has ghastly bubbles in its corners and does not fit with ICS theme.
in this thread:

Lasanda links to a thread with an APK that updates the default player to a walkman version ripped by doomlord which can be found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676013
also I would suggest trying out vanilla music player, it's open source and works with the new lockscreen as well as having widgets that work in other launchers. I can't get the album artwork to work on my mini though (while it works no problem on an android mediaplayer I also have) so would appreciate if anyone else has any input.
2. The home screen's capped framerate now looks laggy since the ICS ui has significantly improved graphical performance from extra use of the GPU. The color scheme and style of the bubbles is also out of phase with the new ICS theme. They shoulda just changed the bubbles for futurisitic triangles or something.
- the best I've managed so far is replacing with zeam
3. call screen : bubbles/
-no idea, if anyone has any clue what to do here if and how to replace the call screen I would be happy and give you my thanks.
Apart from lack of encryption and this poor theme, ICS is good for me. Please share any more tips to improve it further though
thanks
