As far as I can see, Live Wallpapers are not going to work until someone bakes a custom rom. The Live wallpaper picker just force closes on selection. So, unless I failed at installing the live wallpapers and the picker...

What launcher are you using? Did you try ADW or Launcher Pro? did you also load livewallpapers.apk?
I loaded livewallpapers.apk and the livewallapaerspicker.apk
I tried with Sense and sweeterhome
But I think I need to load the .SO files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837
But I have to find a different SD card because I can't get into recovery mode with my 8gb sd card.
(I left my 2gb at home)
ADW gave me the same problem.
I was able to adb remount since I pushed your clean update
But now I am getting "out of memory" when I try to push the SO files.
So I guess I will have to do the push in restore mode.

Let me know if you can figure out a way to get it running in Sense. I still haven't gotten my Aria (due to show up on Monday), but the lack of wallpapers is the one thing I was disappointed with.
Well I have live wallpapers working on my aria right now in alternate launchers like adw and launcher pro.
Pulled the files from a custom rom that adds live wallpapers for legend then rebuilt them into a rom I'm working on stripped of at&t crap. Did not replace the rosie apk since at this time tha just crashed htc.launcher.
This is a fun little phone.

Hey Bob, did you find a way to fix the non-market apps toggle in settings? I am working on a modified spare parts type deal to do that now, but if you already have a fix, I am all ears. Funny, AT&T didn't like the name Liberty. How fitting that they chose not to use it.
we really should open an IRC channel
The real question is there a way to do Live Wallpapers & Sense at the same time.
I know I am being picky, but I want my tech the way I want my tech.

There is a way since the rom i stole the stuff from was for the legend and Sense its just the version of sense that was in the rom is not compatible with our rom.
I havent even started looking into the Sense APK file yet but figure with live wallpapers working correctly i just got to figure out how to disable normal wallpapers in sense to make them work.

I havent worked at all on the market toggle, i figure since we can sideload the settings.db file and it works its very low on my care list. All i worked on today was stripping out what i didnt like and trying to make a nice clean rom that had all the default files i wanted in it (google voice, pandora, etc..). Just happened to also play with the live wallpapers and found it worked on the way home when i tried a new launcher.

Update file for adding LWP to Aria
6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI
* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *
1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod
4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)
5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)
6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard
6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system
8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options
*Issues*
The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.
*Files*
Clean install of the LWP packages
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages
Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.
Thanks! I just flashed it and it works great. There's Absolutely no loss with performance with it either.

* if this file downloads under a different name just rename it to aria-lwp.zip, first time using Mediafire *
Ok lets see if this works =)
1.) Put the aria-lwp.zip file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod using the rooting methods in the how to root your aria thread
3.) Go to the Partitions Menu and select the first option (mount /system)
4.) Go back to the main menu and choose to install a zip file
5.) Choose the option to install a zip from the SD Card
6.) Click on the aria-lwp.zip file
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system.
8.) Upon reboot the home menu should pop up asking you to choose which home menu to launch. Choose the LauncherPro option.
9.) Go into the wallpaper options and choose your live wallpaper, it should work with no issues.
10.) Set up your new launcher, refer to any Launcher Pro threads for more info on this nice replacement launcher.
At anytime you can use the home switcher program to go back to the HTC Sense launcher if you want to use that instead. Same with setting up which launcher is used by default when you press the home button.
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.

Any chance we'll ever get this working in Sense?
Well, that didn't work.
I am still getting force quit
I might needs to do a clean flash.
Ok, I got stock to run, but I also want to get rid of the lockscreen and make it default as well. Any ideas?
Ok, reflashed with the clean install and it worked.
Got my phone on Friday, running Eclair today!
Love it, you folks are awesome!
Question: Can I get rid of the installed SMS and substitute one I like better?
How do I remove the one that came in the software? It says "Launch by default", can I get it to not do that?
Do you have a favorite SMS program?
Thanks,
Mellow
U can extract the zip on ur computer and delete the .apks u don't want and rezip it and flash it

OK, that makes sense, thanks!
I also figured out that it can be done in Titanium by simply touching the application, a box pops up, and you can select remove from device. This may be obvious to some, but I am learning as I go here.
I tried that but failed so I just do what I said

I'm a complete noob when it comes to ROMs / Apps / Themes, basically smart phones in general. Just got a Droid X for Christmas.
Thinking of using a ROM like Gummyjar2.5 or Rubix(don't know best version) because they seem to be very popular here. Anyone have any links for tutorials on installing either / both? And opinions to which would be better for a total noob? I want my phone to run faster / use less battery but still look pretty flashy.
As for themes, does anyone know where I can go to check out themes for the said two ROMs?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Roms are a mattet of how each person likes the feel of it for themselves. Right now, gummyjar 2.5, rubix 1.9.5, and liberty 1.0 are the usual choices. If you still want blur elements like you have it right now, then I suggest zapX bazinga, or apex.
All the roms run very well, but like I said, try out each. You will want to root the phone using z4root (google for it vers 1.3.0)
Then you will want to download droidx bootstrap. This will allow you to backup/restore your phone. It is also used to install the *.zip themes and ROMs.
As for themes, I recommend any of Bignadad's themes. He is the most thorough as far as complete images for framework and apps as well! Make sure that the theme you pick is compatible for any ROM you choose to use.
When I get back to a computer instead of my phone I can try and help out more =)
Ps... Look at the thread for each ROM/theme to see what you like and they will almost always include install instructions!
Hope this helps! Post back if you have more questions, I'm more than happy to help!

Ok, to start with.. No worries, we all had a point where we knew nothing about this stuff!
Blur is an "interface add-on" that motorola has added to their phones. If you were to look at the Nexus One or Nexus S, these two phones both have a stock version of android without Motorola Blur or HTC Sense on them. Sense and Blur are modifications of system applications and the user interface... Some people really like these interfaces, but most people are against it in the Android forums because they are mostly wanting performance (which is usually degraded by Sense or Blur).
Most of the ROM's now strip out the blur components (yay for our devs!) and that is what GummyJar, Liberty, and Rubix do. If you want a ROM with blur components, I would suggest using Apex or ZapX Bazinga.
2. That z4root and backup thing you said to download. Do I do that with my phone and just launch them? Or?
I have attached the z4root and droid X bootstrap .apks. What you need to do is copy these to your phone's sdcard. Then go to Settings-->Applications--> Check the Unknown sources check box. While you're at it press on the development section as well. Then check the USB debugging box.
You can then install these using a File manager such as Astro (free on the market) by opening Astro File Manager, and then browsing to the .apk file on your sdcard.
To root your phone after installing z4root, launch the app from your applications list, and then click permanent root. It will take a while (potentially) and then your phone will reboot and be rooted.
After that, then go to Astro and browse for the bootstrap apk and install that. This is what allows you to backup/restore. After that app installs, you will be prompted for superuser rights, hit yes.
Then open Droid X bootstrapper. You will want to click the top option, as that hijacks the boot process. Then reboot recovery will allow you to go to the backup/restore mode.
Check out this link: droid X wiki. I have to go take care of some stuff, but will add another post with some stuff.
3. Where do I find the threads for the specific ROMs / Themes?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=687
Use this link. This is the general Droid X thread page. The general section is just mostly questions and "general" stuff for the Droid X. The themes sections has themes.. lol and the android development has the ROMs.
Just read through the different threads and post back if you have questions.
So what does rooting my phone do? I get what backup / restore is, but not that.
This z4 is taking forever. -_-
So I went to sleep while z4 did its magic and it wasn't running when I woke up. How would I know it x completed?

EDIT: Also, when I installed bootstrap, it didn't ask me the question you said it would. Now it's showing an error when I want to do "Bootstrap Recovery". Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work.

Reboot your phone, re-run the Z4root program (phone will reboot) and after you should have a GREY Super User icon in your app drawer.
Hope this helps.
That worked, man. Thanks! So I have Bootstrap, z4 and ROM manager all ready. Now I just need to get a ROM and find one that has a slick THEME.
How do you like Liberty, Sys? I saw it was just something you put over the top of Gummyjar, which was probably the one I was going to go with if Bignadad (by the way, I don't know where to find his themes. =/) had a cool theme for it. Have you tried Rubix?
EDIT: I love Swype. Are these ROMs going to take it away from me? =P
I think many will agree that Liberty 1.0 seems to be the sweetest right about now..... try it out.
Got Liberty up successfully, but don't know how to retrieve my contacts.
hey i have one question, when z4 is done and you run bootstrap, the phone is empty of apps and contacts...and you have to do a backup from somewhere correct?

So you already have loaded liberty? Just trying to make sure I have my details straight. If you followed the install instructions and wiped data and cache then yes you will need to restore apps from titanium backup or whatever means you may have backed up your apps.
If you load a ROM such as liberty, then you will not want to use bootstrap to restore. Bootstrap completely backs up your entire phone state, not just your apps. Sorry if I misinterpretted any part of your message

So I've loaded Liberty, but can't "Link" facebook contacts to their phone numbers. Is there some option I need to enable to do this? Or should I go back to vanilla? That's a convenience I don't really intend to do without.

Is facebook installed on your phone? If not install it from the market and the initial setup should ask you if you want to set up facebook sync.
If facebook is installed to go phone settings->accounts and sync. Your facebook account should show up there and you can setup sync options.

Yeah, I have no problem with having my Facebook contacts in my contacts list, but I used to be able to link them with their phone contact. Meaning if I had a person's phone number, I could link it with their Facebook profile so their phone number would display their facebook default pic and latest status. Now, when I try to edit facebook contacts and add a number to them, it says I can't do that with this device.

If I want to go back to vanilla to re-do it, back it up, and then come back to liberty, do I have to download the vanilla zip? Or is there any way to just revert?
Also, I need a cool theme. Reg Lib is too boring. ;]

Sorry, slightly confused by your post... But I think I may have what you mean.
If you want to go back to vanilla (original phone condition) then you will need to sbf if you didn't take a backup before installing Liberty. If you did take backup using Boostrap, then I would recommend just restoring your backup.
If you didn't create a backup before... create a backup now with liberty installed in case you need a place to come back to for reference. Nandroid backups are your friend...
I'm not quite sure what you mean by vanilla, so I may be way off here. Feel free to add in some more details please =)
Yeah I mean I want to go to the completely original phone setup. I did do a bootstrap save or whatever, but bootstrap isn't installed. If I reinstall does it still have my vanilla Droid saved?
Also, how would I go about switching back to it? Navigating those menus makes me nervous.... Haha.
I'd go into Bootstrapper -- > Reboot Recovery... then what?

Okay... So if you have taken a backup before you did your install of Liberty (or any other ROM/Theme) then yes, it should still be saved on your SDcard actually. Bootstrapper creates a folder on your sdcard called "clockworkmod". Inside of that folder, there should be two more folders: backup and download. Inside of the backup folder, you should see a folder titled in a similar manner:
2010-09-10.04.03.48 (yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.IDK what the rest is.. LOL)
But regardless, this is what you should see. If you re-install the bootstrap program, then when you go reboot recover--> backup and restore--> restore, you should see this folder/option. You will use the volume up and down buttons to move the cursor up and down. Pressing the camera button (red) will select the highlighted option. You can use the back arrow key or power button to go up a level in the menus.
If this doesn't work, you can always SBF the phone (this takes the phone back to the complete original condition out of the box). It is slightly scary to do the first time (at least for me it was...), but I have probably done it at least 10 times now.
Let me know if the bootstrap backup works. Take note that you will lose any apps/texts on your phone that you now have unless you use an app like titanium backup to backup your apps, and an SMS backup app to save your text messages. The bootstrap backup takes you back to the exact condition the phone was in when you took the backup.
Lemme know if this works out for you! Good luck!

I have installed (and uninstalled) hundeeds of apps on my Wildfire, because I like to experiment with them, and, I use the Android Market from the wildfire itself to do it.
As I said, I dont know if a recent update has broken the market or not, but, when I was using Wildpuzzle before CM7 came out, Market worked 101% for me, right down from downloading, installing, and updating apps.
For your issue, you can PM melvinchng and ask him. Just read a post by him somewhere stating he has switched back to WP from CM7.
My suggestions:
* As I said before, try reinstalling WP again
* Try market remover from the patched market thread, and, try installing it again, then try it.
* Switch to another ROM of your choice, but I doubt there is any that will fulfill all your needs as stated by you.

Make sure you're signed in on the market first. (ignore the rest of this post if you are) I had the same problem. Click sign in on the top right. Then it will allow you to install apps. (a dialog will popup asking you to choose your device, it will not allow you to choose wildfire for non-qvga apps unfortunately)
Edit: Oh and online market should work regardless of what ROM you're using. It even detected non-qvga apps (eg. Engadget) I had installed using AppBrain on Sense and then restored using TitaniumBackup on CM7.
Damn I was mixing up com.android.market (The process) and market.android.com (the WEB market for PC's).
Well, Ok, now I have the difference.
Anyhow, I havent tested this on WP. So I cant help you in it.
I upgraded to Dell build 351, and did not do factory reset.
I found it's just so slow. It freezes very often. When it's freezing, a popup window comes up(saying "force exit" or "wait"). If selects force exit, the stage UI just restarts. Anyone encounters this problem.
I also realize that I stop some of the services, such as OVO, weather update, and map location service. The UI becomes slightly faster, but it still can not compare to the old versions that I was using(probably build 318).
Do I have to do factory reset ? I just feel there will be too much work to re-install all Apps ?
Or another question. is latest Streakdroid as stable as official build ?
Thanks a lot.

How do you remove ovo, facebook and dell stage UI ? I didn't find in the "setup/application managment".
You will need to have a rooted phone and an app like Root Uninstaller to get rid is system apps.

1. When you upgrade using a Dell PKG file, that process functions exactly like a factory reset, except for the software upgrade. Just one question: why did you not update to 360, since that is the latest retail ROM and updates the bundleware (especially Oovoo)?
2. If the Streak freezes and you get constant force closes, you can try using Root Uninstaller to delete the apps you're not using and then change your launcher from Stage UI to one of the popular ones on the Market. Stage UI is a resource hog.
3. Given your symptoms, be aware that the very real possibility exists that you will have to flash the firmware again, despite removing apps using Root Uninstaller. I personally had such a bad flash in upgrading from 347 to 351, and flashing again solved the problem.
4. I can't answer your questions regarding Streakdroid. I'm on 360 right now.

Install any launcher from the market before you delete stage ui, otherwise you'll end up with a black screen that you can't do anything with. The most popular ones are adw, launcher pro, go launcher ex, and zeam. They're all good in their own ways.

Thanks for all the suggestions. After few days going through the post and experiment.
My Dell Streak is back to normal life. Here is what I did and found.
* I first did factory reset. Stage UI becomes smoother, but still some times lags, and force quit window pops up.
* I upgraded to build 360 because I am sick of OOVOO, which is always running in build351.
* After upgrade 360, I still see the ACCUWX.apk keeps coming back, and hog resource/battery. Even worse is a "connectivity problem" window pops up when I visit some of the web sites, such as engadget.com, and even quote.yahoo.com.
* Then I did root using (superuser.zip), installed zeam, and removed OOVOO, ACCUWX.apk, STAGE UI, FACEBOOK, TWEITT and some other pkgs that I never use.
* Reboot the streak. Wow, everything is so smooth now, and don't see "connectivity" problem when I visit those web sites.
I have been dealing with "connectity problem" for a while. That's the reason that I did upgrade to 351 from 318. I don't know which component caused the connectivity problem.
Another problem is there for while too. I found the Android Market App search button doesn't work(iit sends me back to home page of Android Market App). I have to go to Android Market web site to do the search, select the App that I found, and open it in Market App, and download/install it. Android Market App is updated automatically after I visit once. When the build was just installed, AndroidMarket App is old version. The search button is working in the old version. After I close the AndroidMarket, reopen it, it becomes new version. The search button doesn't work.
The launcher, zeam is simple, not that fancy compare to Dell Stage UI, but it's really slick. I am fine with the simple functionality. Fast response and light weight is more important to me.
Try to flash Simple streak it can help you fix this problem

1. When you upgrade using a Dell PKG file, that process functions exactly like a factory reset, except for the software upgrade. Just one question: why did you not update to 360, since that is the latest retail ROM and updates the bundleware (especially Oovoo)?
2. If the Streak freezes and you get constant force closes, you can try using Root Uninstaller to delete the apps you're not using and then change your launcher from Stage UI to one of the popular ones on the Market. Stage UI is a resource hog.
3. Given your symptoms, be aware that the very real possibility exists that you will have to flash the firmware again, despite removing apps using Root Uninstaller. I personally had such a bad flash in upgrading from 347 to 351, and flashing again solved the problem.
4. I can't answer your questions regarding Streakdroid. I'm on 360 right now.

Is there a way to upgrade straight from the phone without a PC?
Actually, yes there is. If the phone is rooted and you have disabled install-recovery.sh by renaming it to install-recovery.sh.bak or something similar, rename the file back to install-recovery.sh then reboot. That will replace Streakmod with the stock recovery.
After booting, download the ROM of your choice from the Wiki and save it to the root of the SD. Rename it to Update.pkg (including the capital "U"), and then shut down the phone. Turn the phone back on and run the normal ROM update procedure.
The updater isnt case sensitive (at least for the first letter), either 'update.pkg' or 'Update.pkg' should work, just dont expect much if you capitalize it randomly.
I always use the lowercase one.
The first letter typed into the Swype keyboard is capitalized and thus the file would be saved as Update.pkg. I think that was what I was trying to get across, but didn't do a good job of it.

I'm actually not running streakmod... I'm running stock 347 baseband but I'm also rooted. Can u give me instructions on how to do it the way I'm setup?
I already explained it. Just ignore the part about replacing the recovery since you're running the stock recovery anyway. You will have to root the phone again afterward since the standard ROM update process wipes everything.
