Hello everyone,
I'm DasMalzbier. I'm new here, so please be gentle
But as for my problem:
Since September my Live-Wallpapers are not working
To give you some information:
I'm using a rooted Samsung Galaxy S8+. It was rooted using Odin/Magisk/RMM state bypass (hxxps://galaxys8root.com/galaxy-s8-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s8-or-s8-plus-on-android-8-0-oreo)
I have customized and been using it since months now. Before the live wallpaper stopped working, I used the "Stalker Kitten Live Wallpaper" and it worked.
I have the alternative launcher Nova installed.
Interestingly, I can still set Videos and Gif as animated backgrounds. But not as live wallpapers (Via Live Wallpaper Picker). I am not able to pick any kind of live wallpaper as a background.
What happens if I try is that the app simply closes (as normal) and I am stuck with my old, unmoving background.
I do have frozen some apps via package disabler, but all wallpaper related to wallpapers should be working.
Infinity wallpaper do work.
Any ideas what to do? Or a way to get around the problem (i.e. make a wallpaper an infinity wallpaper). I don't want to do a hard reset because I already customized so much... And if I were to do it with Titanium Backup, wouldn't the cache also get saved?
Thanks in advance!

my question is, has anyone got the Friendstream app and widget to work in the official 2.1 release?
I tried installing FriendStream.apk and com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk from VillainROM, but it's not possible to install them.
The other thing is, has anyone working Live Wallpapers in Official 2.1 ?
Again, I tried installing LiveWallpaper.apk and LiveWallpaperPicker.apk, these worked, and when selecting background I can really select Live Wallpapers.
But, whenever I click on a Wallpaper to get the preview, LiveWallpaperPicker crashes.
I have searched around a lot and found that many people have these problems, but I found no solution. Am I just too blind to find it?
Please tell me if there's something I can do.
Thanks

Nah, you need the whole rom to get friend steam, as there are big changes in the frameworks.
Also, you using launcher pro to get lwp? Iirc u need a third party launcher to do lwp
ah thats sad... i had hoped it would need only minor changes in the apk to make friendstream work on the hero.
as for live wallpapers: i tried it with HTC Sense, Launcher2, Launcher Pro and HelixLauncher, the results are always the same: when selecting a wallpaper, I see the "Live wallpaper" option and can select it, afterwards I see the list of installed wallpapers. but whenever I click on one of the wallpapers, the "application Live Wallpaper Picker has terminated unexpectedly".
is there a fix for this?
I've looked around here for a while, but I can't find an answer.
I'm using a rooted Tab 10.1. I'm using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to set the five screens, and I have no problem with that.
I do, however, have a problem setting the lock screen wallpaper. I've tried changing it by hitting the + then going to wallpaper, I've tried changing it from the gallery itself, but nothing's working.
The tab flashes for a second as if it's changing wallpapers, but then when I got to the lock screen, the default one is still there. It's not a huge deal as it obviously doesn't affect how the tab actually works, but it's annoying that something so simple isn't working properly.
Any ideas here?
edit: and yes, I've tried setting the lockscreen wallpaper from within Multipicture Live Wallpaper. Still not working. :\
thanks!

On Stock Touch Wiz UX, you have two options when you change the wallpaper, it will ask if you want to change Home Screen or Lockscreen, you can have two different ones but it seems live wallpapers or "wallpaper apps" outside of Gallery can cause bugs in this preventing the wallpaper from changing or even displaying properly. Sometimes on mine when I change it, (its random when this happens too) is, the wallpaper sometimes gets cut off on the edges with a huge black crop, I have to switch to portrait and then back to Landscape for the wallpaper to display properly, I've noticed it only does it with Wizidrii Wallpaper app installed, it must do some sort of modification to the wallpaper settings that causes it, once I uninstall it, the wallpapers work perfectly fine. Using the multipicture Live Wallpaper could be affecting the Lockscreen settings preventing it from changing, what I recommend would be to try changing the lockscreen FIRST before using the Live Wallpaper your trying to set with the lockscreen of your choice.
I would try using just regular images instead of live wallpapers to see if that affects it also, a rooted rom could be the culprit too since custom Honeycomb ROM's are glitchy at best since Google never released its source code yet.
Should have mentioned, even when I use a normal wallpaper, like one that came with the tab, I still cannot set the lockscreen.
I'm using the default ROM, just rooted it.

Have you tried just going to Settings -} Screen-} ScreenDisplay... And changing the wallpaper from there?
I have perrty much the same setup your running except in not rooted. On a side note, I don't have any issues with setting my lockscreen wallpaper using any method. Could it have something to do with root?

Got the same problem with Overcome Rom installed, can't change the lockscreen wallpaper, tried all ways, via Gallery, Settings, Multi Live Wallpaper, it simply remains the orange stock one, only if i try it via MLW after unlocking the device the selected wall flashes for a split second....anyone got an idea about that?
Having the same issue with Task's ROM. I can change the regular wallpaper fine, going it settings-screen and changing there does nothing. It goes through the process but when you return, nothing has changed. Even rebooted after changing to see if it needed that and I can't change that paper.
Similar to screensaver managers you'd find on other OS's? My preference is for it to randomise upon startup, anyone got any ideas? Is there a way to do it via Tasker?
Please bare in mind that I'm asking how to randomise live wallpapers, not standard, thanks!
There's an app called Multipicture live wallpaper. Allows you to choose a folder or album and lets you set things up. All you do is double tap screen if you want to change on the fly or let iit randomize on its own. This also puts a different picture on every screen. THE drawback is this app isn't ICS supported yet. It doesn't work on stock launcher. BuT if you get ADW launcher it works on that for some reason.
That's not for live wallpaper though is it?

Appreciate your guys time, but you're missing the point of the thread
I've used an app called Zedge on my Incredible2 and my Nook Color running Cyanogenmod 7 to download and set wallpapers and it has an option to randomize which wallpaper is displayed and change it automatically at an interval you set.
I haven't tried it on my TFP or ICS yet but I would recommend giving it a shot.
Hey guys,
Was wondering if any of you know how i can get a full screen wallpaper for my Z2, since i tried the app Wizard (weird name after) and now im using Wallpaper setter.
Wizard did not work and wallpaper setter, at it's best cuts the notification bar and half the buttons of the dock.
Tried googling 1080x1776 wallpapers instead of 1080x1920 too, to no better result.
Wanted to change, since the stock wallpapers make for a crappy homescreen, since it is already a washedout screen (i come from a note 3, so probably it's just my opinion).
P.S. Was wondering if you can use any method to not crop the images on lockscreen too
Thank you
I use this to crop them perfectly. Even gallery images, just use this to set wallpaper.

i use image2wallpaper or image2livewallpaper
You can try Background HD Wallpapers app from pkaystore.. Its one of the perfect one available. Screenshots attached.
Okay, maybe I'm missing something here. But when I long press on home or go to the wallpaper settings in settings there is no live wallpaper setting? I downloaded a live wallpaper I really liked that I've used on multiple Androids in the past and cannot figure out how to get it set on the Tab S3. Any pointers? So far I'm coming up empty on googling.
Hello Aspexil,
for my Tab S3 I simply downloaded a app called Live Wallpaper Shortcut from someone called Ben Paul.
It is really nothing more, than a shortcut to the android live wallpaper screen selection.
Sucks that I need a separate app just to be able to use live walls
