Does anybody know where to get the default set of live wallpapers for CM5.0.7? I know you can get ripoffs in the market, but I really think the default ones are the cleanest.
Thanks for any help!
You can probably extract them from CM's Nexus One build over in the Nexus One developer forum.....
I extracted the apk from the N1 rom and it installed fine. FYI the water one doesn't work with our phones (G1), and the galaxy one doesn't seem to load. The polar clock and the grass work though.
Was really hoping to have the water one working, my mom showed it to me on her Droid last week, dope as hell.
Can you post the apk you got? Or at least point me in the direction so I can learn how to extract it myself? Thanks!
Basically all you need to extract something from a ROM is the ROM itself (as a zip file), and then a program that will let you "open" the zip without unzipping it. Personally, I use 7-zip and it has never failed me. All you need to do is right click on the ROM file and choose open under the 7zip menu.
This of course is assuming you have Windows as your OS on your PC. After you open the ROM you can browse to the /system/app folder and you have access to all the N1 apk files there. Presumably, all you need to do is copy the live wallpapers apk from that ROM to your G1 and install it. I haven't verified that this works, but it would be the way to do it.
Good luck

Excellent!
For all that are interested, I have attached the apk. Hope this is allowed.
Oh, and all the LWPs are REALLY slow....
I downloaded the simple Pong LWP from the market and it runs awesome. Its nothing spectacular but it gives me a running LWP that doesn't bog down the system.

I've tried this file on my i5800, but when I try to set one of them as live wallpaper, i've got message of crash, why?? have you another version??
Hay Bros. Hulu on Vibrant w/Froyo, let's make this happen k?
I'm on Onyx R3.1 (Froyo).
Have the latest modified Flash
Have UA set to desktop
Using Dolphin
Using the hulu.com/widget URL
No go.
What next? It seems to work on other phones, but have not seen any confirmation with Vibrant.
Thanks bros.

You can just use the flash player on the market and follow the steps from this post:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9159722&postcount=110
Then change the useragent to desktop and hulu works!
Btw i'm using the unofficial tmo froyo jk2 w/ adobe flash 10.1.105.6

Thank you! This is confirmed working on Onyx R3.1
None of the other methods posted in this thread worked for me except this one.
It looks like there are a few alternative methods that work with macnut but not for onyx/obsidian.
What are you talking about? Hulu blocks access my all mobile phones unless Hulu Plus is purchased.
Isn't Hulu blocking the specific ID of the mobile version of Flash? If that's the case you'll never get around the block, unless you get Hulu Plus, where they specifically allow it.

What are you talking about? Hulu blocks based on the version of Flash you are using.

That's what the modified flash is for. It changes it so that it doesn't say it is coming from a mobile phone.
there is a modified Flash apk in the Nexus section... it allows for our phones to watch hulu... it works I have it...
edit... it only works with Eugenes Macnut r10.
I have the fixed flash installed but the browser doesn't recognize that it is installed. Any tips?

I saw you post in the thread and you said it doesn't work.
It does work with Macnut R10, I just tried... it does not work with Obsidian, macnut r11,Axura or Stock TMO Leaked...

It works with the entire Macnut series. It was one of the first things I tested in R11. Hopefully this will be the last time I post how to get it to work:
Method 1 - uninstall the old flash player (our don't download it from market) rename the hacked flash to install_flash_player.apk and place it in the /system/app directory and install it (i used root explorer). Then open up a browser window and type about:useragent and hit enter, then select desktop and navigate to hulu and enjoy.
Method 2- open the .zip file of the rom you want and delete the install_flash_player.apk file (if it exists) and place the renamed hacked version in there, then flash the rom. Do the useragent trick and enjoy. Video of method 2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KyAzWisQW8
There's also a link to a hulu.apk that does the useragent trick for you on the same page with the hacked flash file. It's kind of buggy but it works and I've been able to use it since Macnut R4.
Edit: here, I'll even link the post in the Nexus forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6583857&postcount=1
Edit 2: It works with Macnut R12 as well. I installed it via method 2 described above.

That sucks, so at the moment, unless you use macnut, it's not going to work.

Have you tried replacing the flash file in the zip for the rom and reflashing yet? Now that I think about it, I did try to get it to work when I briefly tried out obsidian V1 or 2 (can't remember which) and the file wouldn't install, but I didn't test out what would happen if I tried to add it to the zip file.
seems that way but if its truly hulu.com that you want then switch over to mcnut. i didnt beccause i hate the i9000 logo when booting. i know it's a small thing when looking at it from a "i can watch hulu" perspective but .... hey ! what can i say? I like obsidian all around!

If you can find a link to R11, it didn't have the i9000 logo come up at all. You'll have to flash the sd fix and you won't be able to OC either, but it will be free of that logo you don't want.

I tried everything but adding it into the zip file. I will give it a shot when I flash to the next release.
i extracted .zip file of the rom and changed the file out. Then zipped it back and now it won't flash. what did I do wrong?

Don't extract anything. Just open the zip file in whatever program you use (I use WinRAR), find the install_flash_player.apk file, highlight it and delete it. Then take the flashed_fixed.apk file and rename it to install_flash_player.apk and drop it into the folder that same folder. After it's done compressing it you should be good to go. This method has worked for me with the past 4-5 versions of Macnut. I haven't tried it with any other roms though.
Edit: Hang on I'll make a video.
Update - video made, but my connection is crappy so it'll take a while before it's uploaded.

crap, thats what i was just about to do. i unzipped, replaced apk's and was about to flash now. i'll give it a shot anyway, but looks like it won't work.
okay. i will have to wait until I get home. I cannot install winrar on my work computer. I tried just exploring the zip folder but it will not let me delete the file while it is zipped.
Failed to flash unzipping then rezipping. Trying a second time via qreffie's method.
Opening up with winrar and replacing files did not work either. When I try to flash, CW says "bad file"
I have invited a couple of chefs to add this package to their ROMs if they are interested. I am surprised there is not more interest.
This is the package for AmazonMP3 that is working now. I extracted it using HTC ROM Image Editor from the new T-Mobile Leo 3.14.531.1 ROM for HD2.
The old AmazonMP3 cab that has been around since February never worked - you could search, browse, even sample songs, but it would not authenticate with Amazon servers. I flashed the new TMOUS ROM to my HD2 just to test this new version and it worked. The only requirement is to have an Amazon account, and "1-click purchase" turned on, but thats it!
I then extracted the package, and installed it on my Elegancia ROM, but was not sure exactly which folders to put some of the files - I had tried to manually copy files from a fully flashed ROM and put them in the same folders on my phone, but it failed to fully authenticate. So with this package, I just put all the files in a single folder on my SD card It works!
This is NOT the way I like to do things, even though it works correctly - It even keeps a download history. So,here is the full package, all set for adding into someones kitchen, or, better still, making a nice cab for the community.
Package attached.
Link to T-Mobile Official Update: http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobi....aspx?pid=leo2
Here's a link to the leaked version of the ROM that Football posted about 3-4 weeks before the official one was released. Not sure if it has the same package as I did not have time to check. Providing the link in case you do not have a serial number that allows download of the official:
Sorry ALL - My zip file was pooched... Attaching a proper one now!!!!
Im going to sound like a noob and im sorry in advance but i downloaded your file and went to unzip it on my computer and there is nothing there at all. Maybe its something i am doing. I dont know. Next off is there any way you can just make this into a cab file like the old one was? I am very interested in this and flashed the t-mobile rom just because of this file.
This is only a empty zip file...
I would LOVE to, but...

If you read a bit closer, I state (perhaps not too clearly) that this is as much as I could accomplish. I COULD make a cab, but I do not know how to make one for a package of this type. (To install it all in the correct folders) In fact, I am still poking around the TMOUS 3.14 ROM for a provisioning file that shows what an installers steps would be... I put the package up with the hope that someone more familiar with that would either make a cab (preferably) or incorporate the package in their ROM (good, if I can use that ROM, LOL)
I would LOVE to, but...
Sorry - doble post (it's been one of THOSE days, sheeesh!)

Hi,
I live in China and got an already rooted legend from a super friendly little shop in the neighbourhood here, but it came with a horrendous goapk.com rom which severely locked down my ability to install anything from the market - instead, it tried to force me into this relatively useless Chinese goMarket thing. So, waiting patiently, I finally installed the MoDaCo custom ROM last week and everything is running sweetly.
Only now I find I actually miss a couple of the customisations the Chinese ROM had on it. In particular, the htc_cime was very useful to me because it supported handwriting input - the Google Pinyin IME is less useful to Chinese noobs like me who can't read the sound of the characters and need to input the handwriting.
I have had a http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7276627 rummage around these threads and found lots of htc_cime packages, none of which work on Legend under Froyo. Does anybody have a solution? The apk's that do install die immediately when I try to input text, and I don't know what to do with the zip files available on that site - I can extract them, but then it says "Application not installed" without any further help.
Cheers and thanks! Maybe the IME will turn up when 2.2 finally comes out for stock Legends, which will surely happen any minute now
So, a few hundred reads and no replies. Seems like a difficult issue, and obviously not many people are interested in using Chinese handwriting. Should I post this on the development thread? Can anyone at least give some advice on how to install these .zip distribution packages? I know how to install a .apk using the file manager, is some other app necessary to install the .zips?

I just downloaded the .zip file from your link and it had the .apk file inside it and another zip (?).
A zip file is a zip file, they are not android specific, have been around at least 20 years now, it is a compressed file, windows or whatever os you use should be able to open it no problems and then just extract/copy the apk inside to your phones sd card and install it, you also need to open the other zip file INSIDE the zip file (yay recursion) and extract/copy the folder to your sd card as well.
I didn't install it myself as I am still on éclair.
It may be that ZIP files are not Android specific, but to install one you should flash it with ROM Manager or from Clockworkmod Recovery. I don't know if extracting the zip and installing the .apk is working like that. The reason for doing this is mainly because some files cannot be written or replaced when phone is in normal use. From that link I saw it is a signed package (by the name) and it should be installed via ROM Manager or recovery
Hi again,
I tried unzipping the .apk file and installing it, but also no luck. I am fairly sure the .apk installer references the "zi" folder ("zi" means character in Chinese), as that folder seems to contain a lot of files describing the metrics and probably recognition of each character as you write it. Still no luck though.
Using the ROM manager to install packages seems a bit like overkill though - if the Google IME can be installed as an apk without rebooting, surely any IME can be installed like that?
I might ask htc about this when the official 2.2 FOTA comes out, if I claim I had it before and it wasn't in the update they might just send me an .apk that will sort this out once and for all. No big hopes on that one though.
Cheers,
Leon
How do I install the App pacs like the one with live wallpapers?
Do I just unzip and intall all the .apk files manually on the phone or do I need to flash or something?
I'm totaly new to rooting. Have just flashed RCmagic v7 on my HTC Magic (which had a perfected SPL)
Solved
I compared the contents of the RCmagic_v7.zip with the App_pack2.zip, and they seemed quite alike, so I assumed tha app pack shoudl be flashed from recovery, and I assumed correct.
But the live wallpapers did not work... some chrashed, some did not show up at all...
