First it belongs in Q&A section. You need too edit the apk name with a root browser say if you want 2 apps the same then add a 2 at the end like sample.apk (this would be the original app) & sample2.apk (this is the same app and you should have 2 app icons)

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.

Didnt you try what i told??Its sure to solve the problem because you can get the full list of the apk files in your custom rom then
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.

[Q] How to set livewallpaper auto enabled on fresh flash of ROM?

Hello web masters and developers,
I've got a noob question...
I've got Jusada's ICSunday Final ROM (all credits to Jusada, and of course I've got his permission to do moding), which I modified for my personal needs.
Until now I've added many options that missed in original release (so it's not barebone anymore) like live wallpapers, torch, RE, ScanMedia, battery drain fix and GPS fix, transparent status bar and modified Acheps CM theme (all credits to their developers, u can find the topics here in Ace forum) etc.
There is couple of things I currently cannot resolve and that drives me crazy.
When I make a fresh install of the ROM, it starts with default wallpaper (which I modified too). But since I often use my favorite livewallpaper, i really need it to be set by default from the system. Now, I've got Livewallpaperspicker.apk installed and working. I can put the livewallpaper's apk file in the /system/app and to be installed by default, but how to make it enabled by default instead of the static default_wallpaper.jpeg inside framework_res.apk?
Where in which file I should enable it bu default?
Thank you for your patience, and also excuse me for my bad english, and If I break the rules with this thread!
Regards!
P.S: Excuse me for the stupid thread title, I couldn't figure out a better one...
Obviously no one knows, or it's too difficult to explain for noobs like me... Sad... I search on Google but either I don't search with correct keyword or there are no such thread/topic/lesson...

Here is all the info you need, figure out yourself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13649923&postcount=2
The line should be without the space (glitch in XDA forums LOL) in com.android.wallpaper
<string name="default_wallpaper_component">com.android.wallpaper/.nexus.NexusWallpaper</string>
not the one u see in the post

Thanks for the reply mate, but it seems that there is no "value" folder inside my /res folder. Anyway I searched for strings.xml inside other folders in /res folder but... no success... I'll extract the ROM's package right now and will search inside all folders for strings.xml and will see if such a file exist... Thanks btn pressed for the reply and for the idea
P.S: I've found the file that contains keyword "default_wallpaper_component" in it. It's framework.odex. Now I've got to figure out first how to edit it (with notepad++ there are a bunch of unusable characters) and what exactly to write to enable my favorite_livewallpaper.apk by default. Because it's gonna be normal, pre-installed .apk file (not inside the LiveWallpapers.apk) and I don't know how to call it inside the string... Damned, this is gonna be harder than I thought But... I like to be hard, if there are good people that wont mind to teach me or tip me for the answer)) Thanks

I didn't say that I'm modder. I'm modding only Jusada's ICSunday ROM, and only for my personal use... anyhow, thanks for the tips, and replies. No offence, but... sometimes noobs want's to learn too, u know... keep it in mind.

How will they learn if everyone is laying info on a gold plate for them and serving them it

As I said before, I need just an advise on how to do-that. I don't need someone to "serve it in golden plate" All I needed was a little hint and you gave it to me, that's why I thanked you. And as I said before, I searched Google and xda but with no success - obviously I didn't know how to "ask", wrong keyword etc.
After your hint I remembered that I read somewhere that not all folders are visible with win rar (for example) and they need to be decompiled in a special way. I searched again and found APKTool, now I'll install it (inside Windows folder, i read) and will begin to learn how-to.
That's the way to learn I think?

[Q] 2nd Facebook app.

hi all,
I want to log 2 FB accounts on my phone. the 1st acc, im using native FB app on playstore, and i did try several apps for the 2nd account. but after all, IMO, native FB app is still the best now, and i want to use it too for the 2nd acc.
it means i have to install FB app twice on my phone. i google for some days and find out, changing the package name and app name of FB app to something else would let me install it twice. so this what i did:
- decompile latest FB app version 3.2.1.
- change package name from com.facebook.kanata to com.facebook.kanata2
- change app name from Facebook to Facebook2 in string file.
- recompile & sign.
all successful, but i cant install that modified app. my phone shows app not installed.
so do i miss something in modifying or it is just impossible to do that?
Thanks in advance and im looking forward to your help.
p.s: Im sorry if my thread isnt meant to be here.
Nope your thread isn't meant to be here. It should be in q and a. Report it and have it moved.

but we already did and open applications screen remains the same, I want it stock
Install a new rom without small apps, like superleggera V5. Or restore whole stock firmware. Or restore cwm backup you have done before installing small apps.
Small apps feature involves many files and some of them can't be simply deleted, they need editing to get system work.
BTW this is a good question and it has never answered, at least I've never read an answer about that. But I will be happy if you will point me some helpful posts, I could be wrong.
Don't get rude boy.
