Hey,
I've been exploring the Xperia Arc system dump, and noticed a LiveWallpapers.apk file.. Now obviously it won't work on any of my android devices, as they are not SE, but I was wondering if it would work on the X10 (or other SE android devices, I suppose) Would someone be willing to install and test this for me?
**I shall not be help responsible if somehow this screws something up, although its unlikely it won't.. **
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could do this for me
It says there is a problem parsing the package

Damnit.. I suppose you would have to use root explorer/or adb and push the application to systems/apps then?
Anyone know how to make it so you don't have to do that?

no go on manual via root explorer either.
why you want us to test this?isn't this just the apk for the livewallpapers?
Tested on latest stock firmware. Can not install.
Installed.
no differences with stock live wallpaper app

haha, oh. I didn't pick a very good app for you folks to test then if its the same. But you're saying it installed correctly?
Would you be willing to try out another one.? Lol, sorry to be a hassle. Feel free to decline.
I was thinking the TimeScape widget maybe.? Lol, I've attached some random ones, fee, free to test to see if they work or not.
those 3 apps couldn't install.
via adb:
MusicWidget
2148 KB/s (171590 bytes in 0.078s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/MusicWidget.apk

and the last one, SystemUI ... just couldn't install.
so i deleted one in my X10 and pushed apk via adb
... statusbar's gone
well whatever you want to do with these apk you should decompile it
Could you give me guidance on how to decompile apk's?
BTW, thanks a lot for playing along haha.
If i am not mistaken there is whole thread instructing you on how to port this apps to the x10...
Hm, after searching the forums a bit, I can't seem to find that thread.. If you've got a minute, would you mind trying to find it then posting the link? Thanks
Oh, and I just used Baksmali to decompile the classes.dex file inside of one of the apk's.. But I have no idea as to where to go from there. hah.

I just finished rooting and installed root explorer and was wondering if there is any unneeded extras I can remove?
Thanks

I wouldn´t remove apps just rename then. Cause Acer looks for the apps when you want to update. Then you get massive problems - just have a look to a lot of topics here...
use search please
I would listen to corn3d79, don't erase the apps. Read around the forums

youre almost better off using PM (android package manager) in a terminal or adb shell to disable or freeze the apps you dont want. you can also do this in apps like titanium backup.
this way, you're not renaming files and later forgetting to name them back to the original files, and it'll keep your 'frozen' settings after updates.

There's advantages to freezing/disabling apps using Titanium Backup or Package Manager (built into Android system). The first one is that its built-in function and you do not have to alter filenames and have to remember to rename them back later. Secondly, I don't think it affects what apps show up in the market place. Some apps require special permissions from certain things like PHONE or CAMERA, etc. If you disable it, I believe it won't affect the marketplace, however if you rename the file, the system doesnt think its there period and will think your tablet is incompatible with the apps.
note: this really only applies to people who are renaming phone.apk, etc.
Hi guys,
Can anybody provide the Nexus one live wallpaper(Neural networks) which comes along with the stock froyo on our device?
I dont like the nexus rip offs that are available on the market and looking for some old school stuff.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what I'm missing here. I copied the files to the system/app folder and rebooted. But still I see my old wallpapers.

That is the first thing I did. It first asked confirmation for replacing a system app. When I gave 'Ok' it says 'Application not installed'. Because of this only I tried copying the files to system/app folder.
You must be looking for this....

This is not the one. I'm talking about the Nexus One's default wallpaper, which will be available in LG P500's stock froyo ROM also. I think it will be available in the first set of apks you provided. But I'm facing the issue of installing.
Anyway thanks for your help mate. I'll try to install those apks somehow.
Try Nexus Revamped Pro on Market.
And what about Microbes live wallpaper from Nexus? It has been ported to SGS, so is it possible to have this in OO?

Hey buddy,
these attachments giving parsing error, could you please post another version.
Please kinda urgent.

hi guys
delete or create file or folder & ... not avabile in 4.4 ext memory card
fix it
. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart.
Or
download attachment file extract & move to system/etc/promission

or just install SDFix form Google Play

Can you download files from LAN to selected folder, modify it, and send it again? or you can, using eg QuickPic sort images to different folders?
Can you use download files, and send files to different folders? eg apps to apps, music to music.?
Or you can using ID3 Tag editor download and modify music data/covers?

Give it a rest. We get it. The changes to external SD access have inconvenienced you. The changes are no surprise, so you shouldn't have upgraded if it was so critical to you to continue having full read/write access with every app.
Either use one of the fixes suggested in this thread or in the other thread you're complaining repeatedly in, or downgrade to 4.3.

its not about me, what about other people that see update, install it and find out that they cant use 50% of their apps? did you thought about that? and some people cant root, or dont know how.
I just use 4.3 but others update their XZ and would just find out that their phones doesn't work like before and just call XZ stupid phone and sell it, they gonna buy different phone and find out it again and they gonna see how google mess with idea of freedom of Android.
Its like some car producer would say that you cant use your back seats, and lock back doors, how you would feel about that?

This is a development site. Most people here are perfectly capable of rooting to workaround issues like this or even of checking critical changes in Android updates before blindly updating. I posted about this change in KitKat a few times in the large thread about the update that you've participated in, for a start.
Repeatedly complaining after you've been told how to fix your issue is doing nothing but pointlessly flooding threads in any case. Please stop.

Dude I can do anything I like and there is no error .. So if you really dont know why its not working for you simply just downgrade to 4.3 rather just thinking of others , if they like the phone they will keep it and if they dont then obviously everyone has their own choice to sell it or buy it. So please stop complaining and take some time to fix it if its not working for you then just simply downgrade ... AND CHILL

"That guy shot someone, so that means I'm allowed to do it!"
Come on now, really?
There's no reason for you to repeatedly complain about this in different threads after you've been informed of how to fix it.
This is becoming off topic and it's disrespectful to flood a useful thread like this, so this is my last word on the subject. Have a good day.

Could we just convert an app like solid explorer to a system app to regain full control? Is that why file commander still works, or is it something else? I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet and try this out.
Thanks in advance.

First of all. I don't know if this is the right section of the forum to put this. But I messed around a bit with the snapchat app using Apk Editor. But I can't install the app. I tried puting it here (see picture down below) but it didn't work. I changed permission but I didn't change the name. Do I have to do that? Or do I have to do something else for it to work.

All you have to do is install the apk. You probably got a different signature on the app so you have to uninstall the original one first.

From terminal emulator or adb shell do "pm install /full/path/to/file.apk" and post the error here, the full path is important, even if you run it from the directory it is in it will fail.

Use "ZipSigner" on PlayStore to sign the app, maybe you need to learn how to decompile and compile apks if you want mod apps. Look at my xda thread of apktool.
