I am trying to get the live WallPapers to work and I am having no sucess. I managed to install a Livewallpaper. apk and I can view the livewallpapers already installed on the phone but when I click one I get an error message saying: "The application Live Wallpaper Picker (process.android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" I am rooted, using attn1's rom and can download third party app without adb. Can anyone help?
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 (mediafire dot com/?t5mjyjjgnjm)
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages (mediafire dot com/?jjowddzzmdw)
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.

I cannot post links because i havnt been here long but i did this and it worked for me. this is from a post on this forum
i did that but i still cant have live wallpaper keeps giving me error on all of them.
did you do a clean install or the update?
i did it clean and it works fine for me, then again maybe im running a different rom. I have unrevokeds rom from used in the basic how to root aria thread didnt see any reason to use anything else. cat see your error it looks like this:
if you're running attn1s Liberated Aria rom, then the method scristopher quoted is the only known way to get live wallpapers installed onto the aria running sense. the entire thread about live wallpapers is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6953168&postcount=14
i have them working using the first clean install method as well.
ok i have no idea what i just did but after messing around in htc eris and nexus one's fourms and spending 30 min in Clockwork I think I have lwp... only problem.. when I touch the left of the screen in the nexus wallpaper the colors appear in the middle... my wallpaper is zoomed in....
NOTE: I will not be held responsible on anything that may happens to your phone... This proceedure is to DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!! and rooting the phone may void your warranty ..
These are the steps I did to successfully root my cheap Alcatel OT-890D in chronological order.
Step 1 is Optional, someone confirmed it also works without resetting the device
I reset my phone (go to Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset)
after restoring go to Settings > Application > check Unknown sources
then Settings > Application > Development > check USB Debugging
go to Market search and install Superuser App (its a freeware)
go to Market search and install for any file manager/explorer of your choice (freeware)
download this ( http://db.tt/kO7yvIT ) and transfer it to your sdcard
open the File Manager you installed and look for the app you transfered ("Gingerbreak-v1.20-1.apk") then tap the file to install
RUN the app (BUT MAKE SURE THAT AN SDCARD IS INSERTED AND USB DEBUGGING IS CHECKED)
inside the Gingerbreak app tap "ROOT" wait for the process to finish ( its NORMAL that along the process the sdcard sez unmount)
just wait
the phone will reboot if the rooting is successfull
it will take a while before phone reboots congratulations!! you have now successfully rooted your phone to confirm try to install a rooted app or simply install root checker fromm the Market.
CREDITS SHOULD GO TO THE DEVELOPER OF THE APP (Android Exploid Crew and CHAINFIRE) THANKS!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 BUY HIM A BEER!!!!
HOPE ROM DEVELOPMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON!!!
NOTE: After rooting the device i installed system app remover (paid app) to remove the preinstalled apps/games/etc to free some space and everything went fine.
BEWARE: Ive tried system restore via Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset after root and system app remover and as expected, it did remove all the deleted system apps. Since procedures on how to flash the phone and default firmware link is still unknown, BE VERY CAREFUL on using system app remover coz you might remove apps/processes that is needed for android to boot or you'll end up BRICKED!!
oooppps!! dont know if this is the proper thread to post this.. MOD please edit. thanks!!
hi
well lets keep this thread for alcatel...
maybe the first brand dual sim android phone deserve one!!

maybe the xrecovery that you installed is really not meant for our device. sad to hear exploring the phone further bricked your phone.
and why did you wanted to have that xrecovery? there still no custom roms for the phone and adb driver links can be found nowhere too... i still cant find any reason why would i like an xrecovery in my phone
i wanted to back up my original rom...but....i bricked the phone..
now i must wait the service to repair it
bad luck!!
Great guide, Thanks!!!
But a question.... i'm unable to ceck for firmware update... boot loadr don't start...
there is no firmware update yet...and you can not do that from bootload mode...if you want to entry in bootload mode turn of your phone,press volume up botton,and while press that,press tha power button too!
Thanks for reply!

Need complete ROM files
Can someone upload the complete ROM and share the link? I want to make a similar ROM for Spice MI 270 based on MT6516. My phone has android 2.2 but does not support adb currently.
Please upload system.bin, boot.img, recovery.img and others if possible.
Thanks!
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.

You will need to rOOt ur device. (if u dont know how to. pls search the forum there is a thread)
get a file explorer like root explorer (it gives u root access).
open the root file explorer. on the top there is a button saying r/w. click it and it will turn to r/o .
now , go to system/app. delete apps u dont need . and
now to data/data. delete the folders of the name of the apps u just deleted in system/app( as this one i do always, y to leave the data of the app u dont need and delete).
Now restart, (i prefer doing it this way. rather than using any app to do this.
hey jitin.
thanks for reply dude..
i will try ur method and delete apps that i dont need.
but is it safe to delete stage ui?
i mean do i need to install other launcher or something that works smooth..
stage ui is main app that starts..so any instructions on that?

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

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.
There is an update out that will fix the market as well as getting facebook. Thanks to joshts0 to bring it to my attention.

Old:
For those who do not know how to get the google apps on the Touchpad including the market place Here is what you need to do:
Assuming you already have CM7 installed (I followed "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XDmKGmn4vs" and got the files from the Youtube description) and have it all up and running all happy:
1) Download "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip".
2) Be running android on your Touchpad.
3) Connect the USB to your computer and Touchpad.
4) "Turn on USB storage" on your Touchpad.
5) Copy "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" to your root directory of your Touchpad.
6) Turn off "USB Storage", hold down the power the button and hit reboot, select recovery.
7) Screen should say "CMW-based Recovery v5.0.2.6. Use the volume buttons to navigate to "install zip from sdcard" (the sdcard is the memory built into the touchpad that is shared between android and webOS, NOT a REAL SD card) and press the home button on the bottom of the screen.
8) Now select "choose zip from sdcard", press home button.
9) Navigate to "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and press home.
10)Navigate to "Yes - Install gapps-gb.........zip. Should install.
11)Press power button and select "reboot system now", hit home.
Reboot into android and setup your google account. If the google account setup doesn't come up right try restating your Touchpad and see if it comes up. If nothing try to reinstall gapps again.
Sorry for being long winded but I wanted to make sure that my steps are clear.
Once you get the market place working you can get Netflix and many other app but remember that the CM7 is in Alpha. Most apps are not likely to work but some just might. Try it out.
I am experienced in android from 2 prevoius devices, but this never happened to me before.
Market is there, works perfectly, but once I try to install any app, it keeps Downloading the app forever and ever, I know this is not a CM issue, its Market or google issue, just wanna know if some of you guys have been in the same situation and did you find a solution.
After google I tried:
Deleting the market cache and data.
Reinstalling gapps via CWM.
Moving apps in SD to internal data then deleting .android secure folder
Uninstalling Market from Titaniumbackup and then re installing from it.
deleting cache/ dalvik cache.
Fixing permissions
None of those things worked...
From what I've seen, add "update-" directly in front of gapps, or whatever zip you wanna flash to the touchpad for that matter, works well.

I keep getting fc's its my first boot up and I've tried this about 5 times
I don't know what's wrong with your setup guys, but mine went flawlessly. I mean in 10mins I already had android on my tablet, incl CWM recovery + working gapps. Been playing with it for a few hours, had no problems, installed a few themes (honeycomb colors) and tried different launchers, overclocked it..
It's an amazing port, there are some bits and pieces that need to be fixed of course, but other than that i havent had any serious problems.
Just follow the instructions correctly and you should have any problems

just put the moboot file, the gapps and CWM zips in the cminstall folder
then run again ACME installer.
It will skip everything already installed and will go directly to your new packages.

I had the downloading problem too. At first things were downloading fine. I think made the setting in the Market to ask for a PIN and after that things wouldn't download. It didn't hit me it may be the PIN I rebooted and still no dice, then went into the Market settings and turned my PIN off to download and install things and it downloaded apps. I didn't turn it back on to test because heck didn't want to rock the boat

you can do this way, boot to webos, enable disk mode, copy the moboot into cminstall folder. reboot, and you are able to go to cmw and install gapps.

Doing so brings me to the large USB icon used to install CM7, but we need to get to either CWM recovery, or first go back to webOS to add gapps to the cminstall folder and then redo the install of the novaterm cminstall (at which point)

When I connect to USB mass storage while running CM7 do I just make a new cminstall folder at the root of android, and then proceed like before? I cannot find the cminstall folder I made for webOS when looking through the files while running Android.

This is a guide to debloat the KIW-AL10 and make stock Chinese usable.
First download Minimal adb and fastboot from here and install it.
Download HISuite and use that to install huawei drivers
Next Make sure developer options by hitting build number 7 times then open developer options and make sure usb debugging is activated in the developer options.
Plug phone into computer and install drivers, any unknown device will be adb so right click and select choose driver from list then select android devices then adb interface, always choose the older driver version for this phone.
One you have that installed you need to unlock your bootloader a great guide is here
Once you have unlocked the bootloader download install twrp using minimal adb and fastboot
First reboot into fastboot..
First check the device is present. using the command :adb devices
then boot into bootloader using the command : adb reboot-bootloader
if that doesn't work turn off device then switching on quickly hold down the volume down button while inserting the cable into the device
The device should then have a white screen with a robot and say unlocked in green writing
find the recovery image you downloaded and if its a different name rename it twrp.img so you know which one it is, files everywhere can get quite messy !
Now right click on the minimal adb link on the desktop and click open file location..
Now put the twrp.img file into the folder with the minimal adb files and close the window.
now flash the recovery using the command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Voila if everything is sucessful your phone now has twrp recovery !
Next use the following command: adb reboot recovery, if that doesnt work force a shutdown by holding the power button then let the phone boot while holding down the volume up button, it should boot into recovery.
Next MAKE A BACKUP THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND WHEN ITS DONE COPY IT TO A SAFE DRIVE DO NOT KEEP IT JUST ON YOU SD CARD IN CASE YOUR CARD DIES ! BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THIS PHONE AND THE FACT THAT YOU CANT FLASH NON VOLTE ROMS ON THIS PHONE THIS IS YOUR ONLY WAY OF RESTORING THE PHONE SO GUARD IT LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT !
Now get a cup of coffee and have a break its not good to rush things
Now to root your phone..
Finish your coffee.
Download supersu from here
Put the zip onto your phones sd card and boot into recovery, select install and select the supersu zip and let it install, once done reboot the phone, it may reboot a few times thats normal dont panic, once the phone has finished booting check you have the su app installed, if so now we can do the rest of the stuff.
Next download google play store from here and install it
After opening the play store and signing in you will probably be told to update google services, let it do it then reboot the phone
Next using the play store download root explorer
Next stage is to make the dialer English. and remove yellow pages.
Using root explorer navigate to /cust/alltelecom/cn/prop
hard press on the file local.prop and select open in text editor using the 3 dots on the top right
Look for the following lines of code ro.product.locale.region=CN or similar
Change this to ro.product.locale.region=GB (or whatever your location is such make sure the country code is in CAPS )
Save the file
Now navigate to /system and open build.prop in text editor and change the following lines of code so they end in County matching code not cn
Example
ro.product.locale.region=GB (or whatever your location is such )
ro.product.locale.language=en (or whatever your location is such )
ro.product.locale.region=GB
Go slow there is lots of lines there but you will see them if you take your time
select save and exit from root explorer then reboot.. viola the chinese and yellow pages is gone !
After reboot you may get a baidu warning about location tracking, dont panic we will kill that bugger next !
Next install system app safe remover from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en_GB I always use this as its simple and keeps a backup of the removed app (just in case of problems)
Use that to remove all the chinse apps from the system including hivoice or it will interfere with google assistant, they are self explanatory
as they are all in chinese !
Next remove hi app
hi care
huawei id
network location (this is the one causing the nag screen dont worry work it will still work.
then reboot phone, there should be no more warnings about baidu location.
Now to get services google working.
You my have notice that despite installing a google account you contacts havent synced. we will fix that now..
To get google contacts to sync you need to install google contacts sync adaptor 6.0.1 from here
After you have installed it open up system apps and check it permision contacts is allowed, also open the battery setting and check it runs at boot and while screen is off, if there are no options for that ignore that bit and exit.
while you are there check google play services permission are all on especially contacts then reboot
Now install the google app from the app store
next install google assistant from the play store
now install google photos from the play store
Next install google chrome from play store
next install google calendar from the play store
next install google plus from the play store
next install google maps from the play store
next install youtube from the play store
Next install gboard from the play store
Then when all is done reboot the phone
After reboot check all the permissions of the apps and make sure all the google apps run at boot and keep running after screen off or they wont sync etc then reboot again.
Change horrible huawei keyboard to gboard in language settings
Open the google app and setup google and check your contacts have synced. set up the rest of your settings
Get a decent launcher as the huawei one sucks I use nova launcher prime its worth every penny but the free one is still good
Open settings app and click advanced, here you can change default launcher and select default app setting then select assistance and voice input, selectassist app as google select use text from screen and select use screenshot
I think that pretty much it, the rest you should be able to do yourself, have fun and good luck, any questions just ask.
I wrote this guide as there is very little info on the AL10,
Happy modding !
Very useful
Very useful post, my first venture into phone modding, enabled me to use my KIW-AL10 with Google functionality and to avoid the worst excesses of the stock Chinese software. Thanks!

Thanks for the thanks ! glad it was of use to you, I wrote another guide which enables volte to be removed and put lineage os on instead which you may find useful, its a fairly lengthy process but foolproof and doesn't brick the phone which was my main concern as there is nowhere to download the stock roms for these 3gb variants, cheers

So, the phone worked ok for a month, but then started restarting itself all the time. I deleted loads of apps, but it didn't solve the problem. Now, I decided to try to solve the problem by installing a custom ROM, so first step was to wipe the phone with TWRP. After wiping, I no longer had root access, and now installing SuperSU doesn't work, I can install the .zip through TWRP recovery, but I still don't have root access afterwards, according to Root Checker. Any ideas? Thanks!

Repeated the process, ticked a few boxes in SuperSU, seems to be solved for now, thanks...

OK, so I have tried quite a few times to install Lineage OS 14.1 and Viper, with both they get stuck in a bootloop. Trying to install Lineage with this guide https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kiwi/install, the 'format data' stage is not successful. I get a message saying ' E:Unable to wipe '/data' - unknown file system 'auto Unable to format to remove encryption '.
I'm not totally committed to a custom ROM, but I'd like this phone to work. Any ideas, either how to troubleshoot the ROM flashing issue, or to get the phone stable with the stock de-Chinesed stock ROM? Thanks!
