Does anyone know where i can get the Desire's default live wallpaper for download? I've got Froyo and I liked that bubbles wallpaper.
Cheers,
Not 100% but it's probably the same as everything from Sense, you need to be running Sense to use them

It's in the livewallpapers.apk. I replaced the one in DJDroid with the one from cyanogenmod6 and that worked. So I'm sure you can use the one from the leaked sense 2.2 rom in any random Froyo rom.
Edit:
I have attached the Livewallpaper files from DjDroid for you.

Thanks for that.
So what do i do? just adb push the file to /system/app?
i should probably backup my old livewallpapers.apk eh?

Your welcome, hope it works
i tried to adb push the files, and i got this error
failed to copy 'LiveWallpapers.apk' to '/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk': Read-only file system
any ideas. I'm using DeFrost 2.0a, so I've got root access

You need to push it from recovery since you can't get read/write access on the desire because of the weird root.. so just reboot into recovery "adb shell mount /system" then "adb push ...."
that worked, but i don't think the zip file you attached had the bubbles live wallpaper from stock desire ... thanks though

Oh wait.. I think you are right, could be I replaced them in the ROM with another one. I don't have the original file anymore, so maybe you can download the DjDroid file yourself and see if it works that way.
Good luck
Ok, I'll give it a shot when i get home tonight, don't have the usb cable at work or i'd give it a shot right now
after some google searching i found this thread in the nexus one forum (didn't even think to search in there :s)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837&page=10
apparently, the sense wallpaper isn't in the livewallpaper.apk but in the mode10wallpaper.apk, and you need multiple libraries.
I'm going to grab the necessary files from DJDroid's rom and will give it a shot , if it works I'll post the files i pushed here

well, i'm going to try pushing the files from DJ's 2.2 rom to defrost and see if that works ... but i can't do that until i get home, as I'm missing the usb cable at work ... will update in about 5-6 hours or tomorrow
ok, so i finally was able to push the files into my phone and the desire's default bubbles wallpaper is working for me on Defrost 2.0b (which is a 2.2 froyo rom)
I'm attaching the zip file with the appropriate files that need to be pushed into your phone using adb.
use the following code to push the files into phone.
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk system/app
adb push system/lib/libicule.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libiculx.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10_wallpapers.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10Graphics.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot
and then you will have HTC Sense wallpaper in your live wallpapers
enjoy

What version do you currently have?
Did it come with your rom or did you download it?
You can backup your settings (export) to your sdcard and restore (import) with the new version if by chance your settings are not preserved.
Im using CM 5.0.8 ,and it came with 0.8.9.
And how do i go about doing that export/import?
Either download link from your phone and install or download on PC put on SD card open file manager and install are easiest. Put it on a friends phone. Looks good. Backup and restore are in settings adw.

Do a search for ADW.Launcher in the Market, it's there. Just make sure you have a period in between "ADW" and "Launcher."
Hey,
I'm interested in updating the ADW.Launcher version that came with my CM5.0.8 rom, but I don't know if it's OK to update through market or get the apk file and use "adb install" or find a zip file to flash...
Could anyone make some light in here pls?
Thanks!
I have tried downloading the apk file for my CM5x and MDPI device from Anderweb's page but when I tried to "adb install" I get...
INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS
Can someone shed some light? Is there a way to update the ADW.Launcher that comes with a specific ROM version?
Tried using android commander?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Since I'm new to this scene, what is the difference between the "adb install" method and using the Android Commander (which I need install)?
Would Astro help in this case, because I remember reading that has support for installing apk files?
I'd like to do this update as clean as possible.
Thank you for the reply!
PS: I have actually installed Android Commander and installed the ADW.Launcher apk for CM5x MDPI as an Update (wasn't sure what to chose between Private, Application or Update) and the installer said it was successful but after reboot I still have the old version 0.8.6
Any ideas?
U can download it put it on your sdcard and install with a file manager. Doesn't matter which way u go. Should work. Done it both ways
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
I did it somewhat the way you said and installed it with Android Explorer as an update because the regular installation would fail with the error that the application already exists.
The problem is that the new version gets copied into /data/apps/ and I can start using it but after the first reboot it's not there anymore and I get back to the one that came with my CM5.0.8 rom which is in /system/apps/
I would really like to get a solution that would update the one in /system/apps/ which might be harder because it's a memory mapped version of the ROM and changes get lost after reboot.
Please correct me where I am wrong...
Have u tried goin to the market and installing it from there? It's like version 1.4.1 or something now
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
place the file on your /sd.
adb push /sdcard/filename.apk /system/app
restart home or reboot phone.
I ended up installing the one from Market and making that the default launcher, but I would really like to just replace the one in the system folder - no need to keep 2 versions of the same app
I'll try the method NetrixTardis was suggesting.
U can do it through the terminal as well. Maybe removing the old one will solve it. Use the rm command in the terminal and see if u can do it that way. Ex.
$su (enter after each line)
#rm /system/app/(name of app.apk)
Then u can use cp command to copy the one from your sdcard.
Cp /sdcard/(app.apk) /system/app/
Someone correct me if I'm wrong in the lines

hey johnson8cyl
I'll try that and let you know if it worked, should I copy it to the same name?
like /system/app/adwlauncher.apk is the name for the system app, while the Market installed one is org.adwlauncher....apk
do you guys know a good keyboard replacement and a way to configure the vibration alarm on my CM5.0.8? these are mostly the things I miss from my stock ROM
oh...forgot to mention the CM5.0.8 default camera does not have all the setting (like I can't set the ISO), is there one that does that trick?
thanks!
I'll answer the keyboard part. I've got Smart Keyboard installed and its a lot better than the stock Android one.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
U have to use the names exactly the one your removing and one your copying. Names have to be what u want to remove or copy. That make sense?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Makes total sense to keep the same names only that I have this problem...
any ideas? kinda makes sense because that comes from the ROM and is mounted as read-only
# su
su
# pwd
pwd
/system/app
# rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm: can't remove 'ADWLauncher.apk': Read-only file system
ps: I actually managed to fix this what was missing is "adb remount" to mount system partition read-write
So you figured it out? Were you able to get it removed and replaced?

hi there
i need to replace a few of the original apk on my LG Optimus one P500, italy - does anybody have them so that i can do a clean installation? actually i copied those i needed from my friend's phone, (apk and odex) and tried to install them again but i get an installation error, i have root, etc etc. any clues why?
is there an official repository from LG with the original apps of this phone i can download from somewhere?
thanks
gabrio
if anybody needs it, i have found 2 original repositories for LG Optimus One.

Thanks for uploading but I get the message that the application cannot be installed. Got any ideas? I can't seem to move the files into correct directory either.
Try to restore it, maybe work.
I used a website that allowed me to copy your files to the right directory (I can't post it here because I am a new user). However, I cannot actually install the apk which is a worry. But I think the phone wouldn't brick now if I chose to restore or whatever since the files are there. Don't want to take the risk just yet though.
My suggestion was to try restore the LgHome.apk with some app what support backup/restore, like SystemApp Remover. If doesn't work just use other home luncher, don't do a factory reset, because i get LgSetup wizzard error, black screen with no system launcher, and launcer pro was installed. So take care.
Try this one LGHome.apk. Hope is work.
looks like they sent u already. what happened to me was that i deleted it, then the phone would be lock at the android BOOT screen with the flashing logo BUT i managed to connect it to the pc and then launch "adb shell". via adb i pushed the Lg Home.apk to the system/app (i also had to change permissions of the phone file system via linux commands) then it worked, actually downloaded launcher pro right away and i love it, not using LG Home.apk anymore.
regarding uploading the file via adb:
1 adb shell
2 su
3 set permissions of the file system to be mounted r/w, SHOULD be this : mount -t yaffs2 -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
4 exit (one for exiting su)
5 exit (exiting)
then exit the shell from the phone.
> adb push LGHome.apk system/app // important, if you have a space in the filename you'll have a problem with adb and have the .apk file locally on the same folder where you have adb.exe otherwise you'll have a problem or you'll have to add adb to the path of your windows/linux path env variables, hence use adb push LG*Home.apk system/app - should work otherwise just rename it w/o space, works anyway.
then reboot it should work!

Yes I have file in the correct directory with correct permissions too, but can you actually install it to the phone? Or does it fail like it does for me?
Have you trying this one?? To me is installing fine, but get error when try to open it, maybe couse i have prime rom with apps2sd. Anyway i dont use LgHome.
That's not the real LG Home its one that's been hacked to use on devices that didn't have it preinstalled. The one you gave before was an original but it doesn't install which is really pissing me off.

my phone couldn't start anymore (stuck @ android logo) and i copied this one from my friend's LG O1 (same as mine) bought in italy, same store i did, and it worked. actually the home didn't have all icons i had before so looked "weird" but at least i was able to start up the phone. then you can re-add to the home screen the apps and worked.
eventually i installed launcher PRO and im using that one now, much better.

im not sure that all versions are identical, that is what helped me and managed to have the phone start up.
But did you install it or just place it in the directory?
Same LGHome problem here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886911. But if you can navigate in the phone and are not stuck in boot logo or black screen, why need LG launcher. Just don't do factory reset cause you will get a phone with no launcher.

Just updated my Xoom Wifi to 3.1 with adb recovery. Did other people, (ie 3G Xoom owners) have the new Videos app installed by default? Its not on my Xoom nor is it in the Market.
dont have it on my wifi with 3.1 either. I didn't get the OTA update though, I updated mine through clockworkmod
It showed up in my apps called Video.
Try browsing to the video and open it.

Yes, /system/app and I will check the permissions right now.
Forgive me for not knowing the numerical value, but it is:
-rw-r--r-- root.root
just like all the others, doesn't appear to be any special value.
cant seem to figure this one out. I'm on wifi only. Theres a videos.apk in system/app/ with a bizarre 2008 modified date. Package installer on that other apk is unsuccessful. Tried to uninstall, but videos doesnt seem to be listed in manage applications. Renamed the original videos.apk, and package installer still doesnt work. Tried to move the new apk/odex to system/app/ and they dont seem to do anything.
Any advice and did us wi-fi folks get shafted?
I had a small Videos.apk file already there that appeared to be nonfunctional. Replaced with your files, chmod 644, rebooted. I still don't see them in my app list, and Titanium Backup shows com.google.android.videos at the end of the list with a strikethrough. The only option I get on a tap is to uninstall it. US Wifi Xoom running 3.1 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073884
Edit: Also, I pushed these files with adb to /sdcard then used an adb root shell to place them by hand into /system/app, if that matters.

Sorry you guys are having issues, unfortunately I don't have access to a Wifi XOOM until this weekend.
This behavior seems so odd though, why is the wifi geeking out. Maybe there is a model check?
I'm afraid pushing around files and some build.prop editing is about as far as my knowledge goes at the moment. I'm pretty good with linux in general, but the intricacies of Android are still new to me. I do have the modified root boot image for 3.1 applied now, along with the su and Superuser.apk binaries, as well as busybox 1.19 all linked up, so I'm about as rooted as it gets I think.
If you have any ideas I'd be happy to beat up on mine trying them out.

Is it possible that the Videos app won't work if you're rooted since this update introduces the new Widevine DRM framework and with root you could presumably rip streams?

I am rooted, and it is working fine for me, but it worked after install and never didn't work. (VZW 3G model).
Haven't tried any DRM'd content though.
For what it is worth, I rented Being John Malkovich just to see if it played... and it just says buffering over and over and then errors out, but no details.
Most likely is just release day issues, but I don't see google as being short on processing power or bandwidth..
*EDIT*
After still not being able to stream the movie, I chose to make it available offline, and I got this message:
"Unable to fetch license for "Being John Malkovich" error 49"
Splendid. Going to flash back to the original boot.img see if that helps.
*EDIT 2*
Flashing back to the stock 3.1 boot.img didn't help any. Went back to the insecure, rooted one. Hope someone with a stock install can chime in if it works or not. I like how it was okay to take my money and add it to my library but yet I can't play it :/
Missing the Video app here, too. Xoom Wifi.
Tried installing the APK above, but that also did not work.
The app is already in the /system/app folder guys. I suspect you may need to load a, movie or rent a movie before it will show up.

For me, movies dont show up in the market. I used the browser to rent a movie and it loaded in the browser and said something about how I need html5 support, which I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to have now
Bought a new nexus 7 yesterday (after having my old one stolen...) and I decided to root and install AOKP JB MR1 Milestone 1. I'm really impressed with it but I was surprised to find the AOSP browser rather than Chrome and a lack of Performance Control.
I tried to install Chrome as a system app (download from Play, push from /data/app to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--) and rebooted. I was again surprised when I found that "Chrome's installation was incomplete." It worked fine in /data/app but I am now curious as to why it won't work in /system/app. (Sorry if this sounds nooby, I haven't dealt with rooting Nexus devices before, I only rooted my crappy old GT-S5830)
Does anyone have a solution? Missing lib files or something else that I need to transfer over?
And as a sidenote, is Performance Control compatible with the N7 on this build? And does anyone have a working version of it?
Check the apk. I think it has a lib file that you need to put into /system/lib. I'm also trying this out as of the moment with a LatinIME.apk
