live wallpapers?

i downloaded a few from the market such as the duckhunt one just to see what it'd be like on the phone. But I can't for the life of me get them to apply to my wallpaper. I was wondering if there's something im missing to load them

without a root, the live wallpapers do not currently work.

aniPet Not Showing Up in Market
I wanted to try out the aniPet Koi and aniPet Aquarium live wallpapers. When I search for them in the Market or use a CR Code to try and grab them, I get not found.
Is ATT controlling the Market apps we see even on rooted phones?

I side loaded Mario_Live wallpaper, it installed and I can see the app but it won't run nor is it selectable from the homescreen. My phone isn't rooted. Phone must be routed to work.

Yea, I've got it working on mine. You must root the phone to work, since the package here:

requires root, I think.

My favorite is the Acquarium Live Wallpaper

Agreed, aquarium live is awesome. I like plasma too. I still don't see the ani aniPet koi live wallpaper though...not even on wifi with no sim card.

Is anyone able to tell me how these live wallpapers are running on the 600mhz processor? any slowdown? Is there any videos anyone can post of them being run on the HTC Aria? Thanks guys.

Well, most of the live wallpapers are running perfectly. I personally leave it on Acquarium Live Wallpaper. I believe Youtube has some videos on that. I have experienced no slowdowns on that so any Youtube video should demonstrate the speediness. The Super Mario Live Wallpaper does have slowdowns, though, even when I turn off "Low Priority" to give more CPUs to Mario Live Wallpaper; the rest of the phone still seems pretty snappy, though, even though the Live Wallpaper has slowdowns.

ROOT??

No, the HTC Desire comes with live wallpapers in their Sense UI while certain mid-level phones like HTC Aria, Droid Eris, don't have live wallpapers in our Sense UI, which is why we have to root our phones to replace our Sense UI with one that includes live wallpapers. I'm not sure why they do this. But phones like ours are typically free while the HTC Desire is obviously not free, so that's probably just one way that the carriers are artificially separating these phones.

Don't let the mhz trick ya, the thing really is a beast.

I just upgraded from the G1 to the desire and although it can get a bit jumpy in parts, the G1 handled Cyanogens 5.0.7 very well... The sense ui was great and I was using the aquarium live wallpaper without problems... If the G1 can handle it I don't suppose there is a phone out there that couldn't...

help...
I installed lwp but now im stuck in clockwork... it says install from sdcard complete but it wont let me out... help.

You should be selecting "+++ Go Back +++" item at the bottom of the menu to return to the main menu, where a "Reboot" item will be available.

My Aria is showing zero signs of any sort of problems/lags/FC/etc since flashing Liberated b005, adding LWP, and using these live wall papers..Im using the one now has the moon orbiting around Earth...and the google maps one is Super Duper Cool.

HTC Gratia Froyo sense ROM? anyone?

Hey guys I just found out about this european version of the htc aria coming soon and running froyo sooo I guess we can get a port over to the slide when a leaked rom is found... right? check it out is suposed to come out in november but the leaks always come out sooner xD so maybe we will finally see a froyo sense rom for the slide by next month or christmas

this just might work

From looking over the specs it would have similar issue as the myTouch HD ROM, only in the other direction... it has a lower resolution than we do.

Yeah I was suffering from a momentary case of cranial flatulance on the resolution. For some reason I saw 320x480 and was thinking QVGA not HVGA. So yeah in theory other than adding the coding for the hard keyboard it "should" be fairly easy. Maybe Ace or Miquel could take a peak and let us rookies know. I can flash like a champ and help out with some minor issues/questions but am mostly code-tarded

haha same here... guess we have to wait for the leak or a dump to come around and then try to get it working on the slide

This rom would be portable, I never heard of that phone, but I'll look it up for some info... Kb support can be done, has been done 100's times on G1+sense roms.

Well, this probably means that an official Froyo release for the Aria is close too. One thing that kind of concerns me is that I have seen more than one web site state that the Gratia will not run the "new Sense UI". I am still within the 30 day return window on my Aria, I got it because a) I did not want to be like 90% of the people around me with a iPhone 3GS or 4 b) it is small, I absolutely despite the size of the Galaxy S. However, if this is already incapable of running today's OS I will likely return it and grudgingly get an iPhone 4. Unfortunately I am stuck on AT&T on account of my wife and daughter being iPhone drones.

I wouldn't worry too much about it not running the new Sense. a) You haven't used it, so you don't even know if you'll like the changes. b) A ROM is sure to surface. c) I didn't think I'd like a ROM without sense, but now find myself really liking the vanilla Android experience.
So if you like the phone, I wouldn't return it based on what it's officially not getting. The wonderful thing is that there are options.

I did it. Still has some bugs though, but I'm loving it GratiousSlide in the dev section.

Has anyone ever been able to find a Froyo dump of that HTC Gratia ? I'm looking for it, but I can't find anything even here on XDA :-(.
EDIT: I should have searched better. LOL. Just found some traces of a rom based off a Gratia stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715. Thx.

There are plenty...
Here is one that is the latest Asian Gratia froyo leak one I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062149&highlight=football but still running FRF91 2.2.1
Here is one that has FRG83G (2.2.2) but it is AT&T branded and you will have to change a few lines in the .xml files to enabled "unknown apps" install. http://dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exe

[Q] Does your HTC Flipclock actually flips?

I've read some about it and that's way i've taken interest in it and found out that my rooted wildfire stocked 2.1 flipclock doesn't actually flip. But to others they say it flips.
What about your wildfire?

Mine doesn't flip. ):

This is because wildfire don't support animation..

Great
And no lwp too

Actually Wildfire supports animation....go to menu/settings/sounds & notifications/animation and there you can choose the various settings.....none, limited or full

Still the clock doesn't flip though?

I'd say it has to dow ith the ROM itself. When I first got my Wildfire, it was running the Vodafone 1.25.something. When I started mucking with it and flashed to the stock 1.37.405, the clock no longer flipped.

Clock doesn't flip because htc does not allow in sense ui 2,0 but new htc sense ui (Desire HD) support it again...I hope you undersud me..sorry about my bad english.

Just checked FW 1.37
Animations enabled but it just changes the number, no flipping at all.

Been wondering about this as well, nice with some clarification.
would be nice to see, if someone could make it, port it or however that works.

My desire or wildfires 'flip clocks' don't flip either

Are there any work-around to make it flip?

tried messing around with the zip file from thatdudebutch who ported the htc flipclock from desireHD, and flashed it on my wildfire. The clock actually flipped, but since it's a different resolution, therefore it's too big and messed up. Dunno how to convert it into a lower resolution, anyone interested in porting it into our wildfire?

would love to ... but I cant code!

[Q] HTC Wildfire S

I have just seen some wildfire s movies and the point is:
it's runneing gingerbread and it has a flip clock.
My question is: If the htc wildfire s has nearly the same things as the normal wildfire.
Can we (if the wildfire s is released) port gingerbread from the s version to ours.
Or will there be an update with the new sense and gingerbread.
Please could someone that know something about it say something to me, please.
And my second question is: Can someone already put the new sense in a rom.
I hope someone really know something about it.

It is not nearly the same. It is totally different. And, to get the new Sense, the code has to be released by HTC. Till that, there wont be a GB Sense Enabled ROM for the Wildfire.
Also, I am pretty sure with the release of the S, HTC will not conveniently forget the original Wildfire and probably not release any updates for it. Its basically an EOL Product now. Its the way the industry works.

After some monthes on the market every mobile phone is EOL. You are right!

If you really want gingerbread on wildfire, you can try Cyanogen 7. There is no htc sense with cyanogen though.

Just for the new sense

Its more like the aria or gratia (what is the point of that - considering the wildfire s is better) or legend or salsa than the wildfire (they are all the same phone in a different box with a different rom)

This is a question to alex, I think that you know more about it.
So is it possible to port htc sense to cm7.

It is possible to get the Gingerbread update but no way it would get the new Sense.

No it's not possible to port anything HTC to an AOSP ROM, there is a theme though which makes it look like HTC Sense!

I mean can not one app ported to a aosp rom?

Simply because HTC apps require a framework that AOSP ROMS do not have as it is power consuming and is slow.

Sadly the HTC framework is not compatible with AOSP ROMS at the ROMS have to support it. Your english is fine, don't worry!

As djdevine2 stated above, porting Sense would be very hard or even impossible. Sense is like a bug that crawls really deep inside the Android OS. Eliminating is it hard, I imagine introducing it would be also very, very hard.
And not to mention the possible Legal issues that could appear

maybe there is hope
It has also been rumored that the HTC Wildfire will receive the recently released 2.3 Gingerbread update.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Wildfire
This is just a rumor, but there is still hope.

Doesn't look so. If you look at the citation on that particular line, and, read that thread in another forum, there is nothing there to state that HTC has said anything about 2.3 on Wildfire. It is simply a speculative thread, and, points to CM7 for 2.3 on Wildfire.
"You can have your doubts about when your phone maker will finally get around to delivering an Android 2.3 update (March if you're with HTC, June if Samsung, 2017 if you're unfortunate enough to own a Sony Ericsson), but the smartphone dev community doesn't work that slowly. The guys who build custom ROMs just for the sheer pride of it have already begun work on delivering Gingerbread to owners of HTC's EVO 4G, Droid Eris, and Wildfire."

HTC Sense on CyanogenMod7?

I've been doing searches in all the Desire Z forums and I couldn't find anything about installing HTC sense and all its goodies on CM7. Is it possible? I just got my Desire Z today so I'm still making attempts at learning the ins and outs of android.
EDIT: doing some extra searching off XDA, it seems that because of HTC's extensive work on the rom itself, it will not work with CM. I guess I'll have to pick and choose... that would lead to me wondering what alternative can I get to get as much flexibility as CM and still have sense....

What parts of sense were you wanting. There lots of apps you can use that can give you a sense look. If you want sense style widgets download launcher pro plus. You can theme the dock bar to look like the sense dock.
Use beautiful widgets to get the sense clock and weather, including the weather animations when you unlock the phone.
Have a look in the general android themes section for a theme that has just been released for the built in CM7 theme chooser and it will make you notifaction bar look like sense.
Hope this helps
