Hello, I was wondering if I can get the normal android live wallpapers back on my phone. On Cyanogen, I only have the "Maps" live wallpaper the Nexus lwp is missing, so is the galaxy etc. Is there a way to get these back?
Thanks.
why not, just download any wallpaper from market...

I'm sure someone at some point in time since the launch of live wallpapers have asked this question. I wanna know how to close live wallpapers, especially since I am using my Xoom a lot. It's most annoying, I cannot seem to come up with a good solution. I've tried using task managers to close the live wallpapers but they always stay in the memory. The only way I know how to close down a live wallpaper is to replace it will a still wallpaper from the gallery. Is there a better or possibly other way to close down a live wallpaper without having to replace it with a non live wallpaper? Ideas would be most appreciated!
Surely someone might have an answer?
What are you asking? Do you want a live wallpaper, but have it stuck in a static position?
The live wallpapers can't be paused or whatever, you either have to choose live or static wallpapers.
Like you said, if you want to "close" the live wallpaper, just replace it with a normal one and it won't drain your battery anymore...
I thought maybe the live wallpaper would apply over the existing static wallpaper I had set just like a filter, instead of replacing it totally just so I wouldn't have to reset my static wallpaper. But I guess a wallpaper is the same... live or not.

umm no... the live wallpaper isn't going to keep running in the background if you replace it with another wallpaper. It doesn't layar your wallpapers when you change them. Its either live or it isn't...
I knew that but needed to make sure. Thanks. I only asked because the live wallpapers run like an app because it appears in task killers unlike a normal wallpaper, but that's because it's not still but animated.

I absolutely hate having 2 separate wallpapers (one for lock screen and one for regular wallpaper). I wish samsung would have at least included the stock wallpapers. Also sucks live wallpapers can't be applied to the lock screen. I'm wondering if the I/o version can be ported to the retail 10.1 because I believe it is more like stock honeycomb.

I believe separate wallpapers for home and lock screens is a new feature of Android 3.1. The I/O devices originally came with 3.0.1 (although there is now an OTA update for 3.1) and showed the same wallpaper for both home and lock. When I updated my I/O device to 3.1 my lock screen wallpaper was suddenly different. So I just went in and changed it to the same image i used for my home wallpaper.
Speaking of nitpicking. Who is the guy that made the "Set as" menu for the wall papers?
You have...
"Lock screen Wallpaper Home screen Wallpaper"
Was kinda confusing the first time I'm looking at this long jumble of words. Needs some extra spacing a divider or something between the two options.
search the market for honeycomb wallpapers.
My lockscreen is widgetlocker so it doesn't bother me at all.
I like it.
However the cropping sucks and not having honeycomb wallpaper is dumb.
I don't understand what you guys are talking about..
just push the plus icon, then go to wallpaper and when you get the "set as" dialog, click "Lock screen wallpaper" and select the same one you have as your "Home screen Wallpaper". What's the issue here?

This. I've downloaded the stock wallpapers online but when they are cropped they look like sh*t. I get a blurry wallpaper that looks like its in 8 bit color.

That is interesting, but I think its a Samsung thing. My xoom on 3.1 did not have that option. I'm going to try rooting and see if someone on the xoom forum will share their launcher.apk. Apparently that is where the wallpapers are stored. Maybe I can just repace the Samsung launcher with the moto one? Idk

I posted this in a couple other threads, maybe we need a "Tips & Tricks" sticky: If you don't want your wallpapers to get cropped, use an app called Wallpaper Slideshow which will let you set wallpapers without cropping them.
Thanks, I will check it out. Will it let me also set my lockscreen wallpaper to the same wallpaper? If not, got any suggestions?

You can set your lockscreen wallpaper from the Gallery app but it will crop it.
Anyone know how to get live wallpaper on 8.9 or 7 without safestrap? How did Cpasjuste get it working for apex launcher in the thor-gapps-rom? I am going to guess that it was something built into CM 10 that carried over and there isn't anyone here who understands why it works? Cpasjuste had no reply when I PM'd him about it.
Got my live wallpaper working. Moved audible and amazonmp3 out of the system folder to make room because I don't use it. Ran stunt's wallpaper fix and installed kindlefree livewallpaper picker. Still force closes but if I setup the wallpaper using it's own app and then click apply in the wallpaper picker for the split second it's on screen I get live wallpaper. Hope someone can let me know if there is a way to make this work properly/cleanly without fc, but otherwise working.

What live wallpaper are you using? I tried that using Phase Beam and ended up with a black background.

Gallery Free Live Wallpaper by Kittehface :good:
Hi guys,
So I had this Ripple Live Wallpaper that I used on my S2 running Jelly Bean and selected a custom wallpaper and no problems.
Now I have this amazing Note 3 and when I select the default wallpapers in the app everything works fine. But whenever I select a custom wallpaper the Live Wallpaper goes black and tells me "Unfortunately 'App Name', has stopped".
So I downloaded this really cool looking Live Wallpaper called "Fluid" which has awesome ripple like features. Using the built in wallpapers works fine, but when I select an image I downloaded it give the exact same error as above.
Does anybody know why this would happen and how do I get it to work..?
Thanx...
Anyone...?
Maybe someone could install the Live Wallpaper and try to set a custom image as wallpaper and see if they also get the error..?
Seems some of the live wallpapers are not yet completely compatible wit KitKat.
Just got another one which works flawlessly with my Note 3, custom image and all.
If anyone would like to know they can pm me.
Hello everyone. I seem to have a bit of a problem regarding live wallpapers with the new 7.0 Nougat update. I am currently using the Galaxy Pack app from Play Store as my live wallpaper and I was using it on both my home screen and lock screen. Now here's the problem, after the update I tested out some stuff (including changing the wallpapers) and now I cannot put the live wallpaper back on the lock screen. On the home screen it works fine. When I try to select a static picture as my wallpaper, after I select it, it asks me (Do you want this on your home screen, lock screen, or both?), but when I select the Galaxy Pack wallpaper it just sends me on the app's menu where I click set wallpaper and only the home screen one applies. I have tried different launchers including Nova launcher (The one I currently use) and Google Now Launcher, but nothing lets me put the Galaxy Pack LW as a lock screen wallpaper. Please help.
Also on a side note, does anyone know how to set the settings, quick settings tab, etc. on dark(black) theme? I hate all the white of it. Is it possible to do this at all? (without rooting)
Just downloaded planety of live wallpapers. None of them is working on the lockscreen, nothing really can be done here. But changing theme to any other colour is simple, just open the Samsung themes app and set the dark one.

All right. Thank you for responding. I hope they fix the live wallpaper problem soon. And many thanks for the dark theme. Cheers.
