Using live wallpaper on a unsupported rom? - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

hi all i use razr ui v3..and it does not support live wallpapers ..and i really wan to use one (planet scapes )
so i ask some random guy in a face book group and one guy replied saying
''If razer ui's based on cm7, you could always pick out the live wallpaper odex/deodexed apk's, copy them, and change permissions, you know ''
i don't really get it ...can someone help me translate it in simplier english?

......First extract any rom that is based on cm7...
Go to system/app..Copy livewallpaperpicker.apk and livewallpaperpicker.odex.Copy these files to your sd card.Now open up any file manager that gives you root access..Go to system/app,paste these files,now give them permissions,i forgot the permissions for this file,so wait for some one else to answer this.Now reboot...
And FYI,this is the same 'someone' that tried to help you in the group too

lol ...haha i think you should know who am i now =P

[Q] widget wont install on my Arc

i have this weather widget from LG, i have the apk but it wont install. The installation ended with 'application not install'. I have the file extracted but i cant figure out whats wrong..i have other weather widget be uninstall for it but its the same...
can somebody help on this matter..
I have attached the file i extracted...please help..
did you install the apk as a regular apk or did you move it to system/apps and rebooted.
In last case, did you set permissions right (rw-/r--/r--)?
If you post the apk i can give it a try (Arc Lt15i) if you want
I install using both method, regular and copy to system/app and set the permission to rw-r-r-...but fail also.
This is the link to the apk file. I hope you can solve this problem of mine..

I tried to decomplie the widget seems like it need the framework-res.apk file. So I don't think it's easy to port because it's just like our Timescale widget won't work in other devices. Probably some developer need to port it. Try to post under this section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=524

[Q] Ex

Hello. Well... yes im a noob. I wonder know how I can extract the wallpaper of a certain Cyagenmod rom, this one: GinTonic.SE
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207740).
Because well... i like it alot haha. I tried it to make a back up for de APK and seaching de files usin the root explorer but had no success.
I was trying different ROM and liked it more than was the FROYOBREAD, I think I'll stay with that because it has the fewest bugs.
I would like to eventually learn to make my own ROM drive and one with those.
maybe ask the dev for the pic? i guess that would be the most direct solution.

Original livewallpaper apk?

Could anyone post it please? I thought it would only delete the default live wallpapers but it deleted the whole option to use live wallpapers on the phone.
And i don't have the backup so it would be nice if someone could post it here.
I dont know the exact name of the apk.

Sorry but flashing is too much work for just one apk file... it would be much easyer if someone just post a file and i would copy it to a system files. This would be alot more safe than flashing
Both files...

Did you go into system-app-livewallpaperspicker.apk or livewallpapers.apk and delete that, or did you uninstall a live wallpaper? Or maybe turn off scrollable wallpaper? Because I don't remember any CM7 theamed live wallpapers... what ROM are you using? Why don't you just get some flowery live wallpaper from the market?

"Some flowery live wallpaper from the market?" - Dude, that's just being straight up sexist. GTFO the forums if that's how you're gonna act.
Nisha: Download Titanium Backup from the market, Back up all your apps and reflash the rom. You can use Titanium to restore your apps to the exact same state they were when backed up.
As to the file you deleted, was it an app? Or was it in a system folder or what? Where did you find that file?

Which file did you delete??If you don't know,just copy the zip of your rom to your PC.Open the zip and go to system/app.Then compare the files in the same folder in your system app with a root explorer.See which file you deleted.Now,if you found which one you deleted,copy that apk file to your SD card.Make it a system app and give it the correct perms.I can't give you the perms because i don't know the app you are using...This is pretty much the only thing you can do because you don't want to reflash
Also guys..I would like to remind you guys that profanity is not allowed in xda
Awesome...it worked...thanks alot.

Well, if it was the apk of the wallpaper that you deleted, then you can just download it from the market. Just remember the name or something. Since you deleted the apk itself, then you might have to "uninstall" it from the list of applications then proceed to reinstall.
Like I said, download titanium backup and back up all your apps. That way, no matter what happens to your phone, all your apps will be in the SD no matter what unless you format your SD.
hey man try this
it happens
try this it will help
Flash this
and the wallpaper will come back
have fun
Thanks sam...i got my wps back but am still missing that lovely lwp...can u plz help me with that as well? Sorry for demanding too much.

Yep...tried that and it fixed the problem as well..but just noticed...the files in zip are odexed...while the zip provided by sam is deodexed. So wanted that as well...i m greedy...gals are usually.

How to edit theme xperia sola

Hello, first I don't really know if it is ok to ask in this forum, but I think its the best place to ask it, so I've wanted to change to a new rom awhile ago and im working on it now, I tryed to install a few JB roms but I really want them with the themes I have(my Systemui and so) but for some reason when I replace the Systemui.apk from the 1 I want with the one you get with the rom it doesn't work and just messes up the phone...
it used to work for me and now it doesn't, anyone knows why or a way to change it?
I really want a fast new rom but still use the design I like.
Thanks for the help!
