So 2 days ago I realized that I couldn't use live wallpaper because I discovered that my livewallpaper.apk was missing. I found the file but it ways cannot install when I try to install it. Is there a way to fix this?

you will need to place the live wallpaper .apk into /system/app/ and restart. either use root explorer on market or adb push from computer. if you dont know how to use adb, google it.
I did that, but the live wallpaper doesn't show up when I want to change my wallpaper.

did you make sure to remount the system read-write? if not, the apk didnt actually get placed. make sure you pull the live wallpaper apk from the version you are using.
yea, I have it on system rw. Maybe it's the apk file?
Can you send me yours?
I've recently installed the Nexus S live wallpaper in my SG3 but unfortunately it didn't work. Then I've un-installed the live wallpaper but whenever I'm going to set the live wallpaper (from Home --> wallpaper --> live wallpaper), I can still see the live Nexus S live wallpaper there (which I've already un-installed). Even if I select it, the application closes forcefully.
My phone is on the stock 2.2 but rooted. I've even used the titanium back and roo explorer to find the apk file corresponding to the that live wallpaper.
Can anyone please help me to find out the path of the live wallpaper apk file path (in phone memory or sd card) so I can manually delete the file.
Thanks in advance.
/system/app/livewallpapers.apk delete this one. use root expl
I reinstall the app and then uninstall it - by this way, the problem is solved now.
Many thanks for your help.
Seeing many questions and posted threads asking about the best way to set the wallpapers with the proper size and quality without blur or cropping for stock Kindle Fire, i ve decided to post this maybe it could help
Prerequisites :
1- Root Access
2- File manager to view root directory
3- MultiPicture Live Wallpaper (its free) get it from https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture check attached file
Steps [done once] :
1- browse to "/data/data/com.android.settings/files"
2- change "wallpaper" permissions to be writable
(in ES file explorer: if the directory is empty make sure you checked "root explorer" and "mount file system" in the settings)
3- Set the the live wallpaper -> "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"
4- remove the write permissions back for "wallpaper"
Changing wallpaper :
hold tap on background and select wallpaper > Configure wallpaper > Common settings > picture source
and you no longer need to change permissions every time just to change wallpaper
Preferred Wallpaper Size :
Same as with ipad/ipad2 wallpapers are the best : 1024x1024 for portrait and landscape or anything actually will work well
You can also set the live wallpaper memory footprint usage, color depth check it out
I ve also attached a pack of 1024x1024 ones to get you started
check it at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1229065/kindle%20walls%201.rar
Thats all
Haven't tried the app yet but thx there are a couple of nice pics in your wallpaper archive.
Works great!
Followed these directions for my rooted Kindle and finally defeated Amazon's default lockscreen rotation
Tried using my own high-res pictures and photos.
Thanks!!
I use photile live wallpaper its got some cool animations and touch reaction on the picture and it doesn't lose quality
Sent from my CM7 Kindle Fire
Thx man works great.
Since I had already write protected the wallpaper file, I found that I didn't need to change anything other than load the wall paper app, select a folder with images and activate it.
Works great.
thanks guys i am glad you liked it
its kinda funny that we have to hack it to get to use wallpapers , maybe it'll be a native feature in upcoming official updates, like iOS 4.0 wallpapers lol
The wallpaper pack provided doesn't seem to work for me. I individually extracted wallpapers from the zip file, and sent the Multi picture Live Wallpaper to read the image files I extracted located at sdcard/Pictures/Wallpapers. I'd love for this to work as many of the wallpaper provided are highly attractive!

under "Multi picture Live" settings select > common settings > picture source > Picture folder (the one that contains the extracted images)
my folder path : "/mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Wallpapers"
or select a single picture
also check wallpaper change interval, its working perfectly for me on stock 6.2.1

It works with other wallpaper files. Thanks!
I am now using Wallbase instead of your method. I noticed that there is no option on Multi-Picture for scrolling wallpapers and that bothered me enough.
Try to use Kindle Fire - Wallpaper Change in android market.

I instinctively don't trust this app. It's brand new and unfamiliar, and there's no reason it should require full internet and network access as it does. Multipicture live wallpaper does not require any special system permissions.
Using stock Kindle Fire...how do you get the option to change wallpaper in order to use this Multipicture Live Wallpaper app? I don't quite understand how a stock Fire has any menus to change the wallpaper. I tried opening the app by itself and it Force Closes every time. Maybe I am over thinking this or something... please help!

please read the "Prerequisites" in the first post , you need to have your device rooted first ( head over to [INDEX] Kindle Fire Development *FULL LIST* ) and also you need to have a custom launcher installed
Keep getting a force close when trying to install Multipicture Live from the OP.
Rooted via Kindle Fire Utility running the ES File Manager and Go Launcher EX.

I downloaded an older spiraling galaxy to my phone and love it....but its no longer on the market. Im trying to find the apk to export it to my Nexus 7. both are rooted and custom roms and have root explorer. I cannot locate the apk for the live wallpaper anywhere on the phone yet it runs perfectly so I know its there somewhere. found folders that even say" live wallpaper.apk and live wallpaper picker.apk but no galaxy.apk. done searches and much reading to no avail. any help would be appreciated. -Jim
If you downloaded it from the market, it's not in /system/app but /data/app, you don't need root for that.
apk file should be there.
