Can't add Wallpaper - 7" Kindle Fire HD General

After the update, my background went completely black. I tried to add a wallpaper, but my screen just stays black. My icons and widgets show, buy my background is stuck on solid black. I re-rooted and I thought I would be good to go, but nothing seems to work. I tried tinkering with settings on ADW launcher and even the stock Kindle settings, but no luck. Any idea what the problem could be?

Made a thread a few days ago about this, so far it does it on all launchers. Best thing we can do for now is downgrade.

Wallpapers are disabled at the framework level in 1.4.1.
framework-res.apk/res/values/bools.xml contains:
<bool name="disable_system_wallpapers">true</bool>

So what happens when you change it to false?

Ya, I'm having the same problem... Changing it to false might work like the previous user suggested. If anyone could try it out and see what happens and report back, it would be much appreciated.
Here's a picture of the problem, if anyone doesn't understand what he's trying to say, hope it helps...

Widgets and 2.3.3

Anyone having issues with widgets loading in 2.3.3?
My twitter widget will not load. Even stranger, I cannot add any applications to any screen. Very odd.
I'm running on ADW. Is ADW the real issue?

another issue with 2.3.3
All my widgets disappeared and I had to place them back...

how did you get them back? a long press does nothing for me now!
hmmm. my widgets work just fine. long press also works. did you try a reboot?

Only problem I am having with 2.3.3 is the screen colors. It's terrible, definitely gotta get use to it..
Widgets work fine. Try a reboot or a battery pull.
Works fine here, using LauncherPro Plus.
I chose to clear the dalvik cache before rebooting, after applying the update. Perhaps that helped me?

Haven't used ADW in a long time but isn't there an option to lock your screens? Which in turn wouldn't allow you to modify anything.
Press menu and check that out.
no problem here. all widgets work fine and i didnt have to mess with them at all.
This happened to me today but I'm still on 2.3.2...

Rebooted and long pressed. I did have it lose them a couple more times though. It's fine now... I think.

I noticed that too, the call interface is gray or something, the color seems different. What were you referring to?

This. From the home screen you can also press:
Menu>Add
To add a widget.
Menu>More>Unlock Desktop
To unlock the home screen if locked.

The few widgets I use are working the same. Only problem I ran into was having to reinstall Swype.
Running on stock android.
Not sure how it got locked, but the unlock feature did the trick.

[email protected] dpi

Hi guys
changed the dpi on my n5100 to 160 by accident and got a whole new version of interface.
Is it remnants from another device?
I like it a lot but worried about compatibility with apps. Anyone tried it?
You've got Nova launcher or Apex on there haven't you?

yeah but look at the bottom bar. Very similar to stock android but Samsung modded. Also notifications screen has changed to the same as my Note2. most thingswork apart from the dialer.
Touchwiz will not load at 160dpi is the reasn i 'pushed' Apex from the Play store.
Nah, that's what's supposed to happen, it's gone "Full Tablet mode" lol.
If you clear the data on the launcher, it should sort itself out and display in a tablet form.
Like this... screenshot to follow...

You only need to do it on the app itself, if clearing doesn't work, install another launcher then, remove and install the one you originally installed. But make sure you have at least one other Launcher than the default TouchWiz one or you could find yourself in a whole world of headache.
And no, the file that gets edited to change the dpi can only be done once rooted.
Which android version you use? 4.1.2 or 4.2.2?

Is this normal for Nova Launcher Prime to do this?

I know this may sound really stupid but it is really bugging me now.
I have set nova on transparent bar. When I unlock my phone (using stock lockscreen), the notification bar flashes very fast and goes back to transparent. I'm not sure if I explained myself right.
Does your nova do this? Thankssssss.

No, but you might be using some kind of home proxy, i.e one that launches home from inside an app when you hit the home button.
Open Nova settings and check the default home is actually Nova.

Once you download and launch nova. There will be some widgets on your home screen prompting you to restore your layout from either a previous nova backup or a different launcher. Just create yourself a backup within go launcher (if it has that option) then restore from that backup. It may not restore everything depending on widgets you have currently but you won't have to start from scratch. I use nothing but nova prime.

Xposed and app settings?

Anyone get this working?
Need to change dpi on some apps!
Thanks

Same here. Got the installer installed but no modules will work. Keeps saying failed to write in data/xposed/module_list. Hopefully there will be a fix soon
yes, working fine on my n9005 with app settings, also changed the default dpi to 320dpi now.
you must install 2.3 beta 1 or later for gn3.

not sure what im doing wrong, I cant seem to get app settings to work. I save the setting, launch and theres no change! Tried enabling, disabling, rebooting. Have noticed that it does not quite save the settings if I just press the save icon and leave the app. Bit weird! I am on a international N9005 stock rooted rom if that helps. Any ideas?

Sorry to revive this thread but I have the same problem with my rooted note 3. I can change settings for each app like dpi and the changes work but dp res changes don't work. I'm using the one from xposed repo.

Try to get buildprop editor and search for lcd_density to change the display default density. For N3, I think it better to set value between 380 and 400.

(REQ) live wallpaper on lockscreen

Is it possible to modify the lock screen settings to allow a live wallpaper option? I know this can be done standard on aosp/cm roms. Looking for a mod on the LG side of things.
I know there was alot of lag on my wife's g pro phone with live wallpapers in general. I wonder LG set it that way so there would be no/less lag.

On the DNA, you had the option of setting up the lockscreen with a Live Wallpaper. It wasn't a special mod or anything, it just came that way. Probably part of the Sense overlay. In any case, it was a standard available option.

I understand. LG also doesn't support root, custom recovery, and changing icons in the status bar. These options aren't impossible so why would a live wallpaper be impossible?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
First you set LWP on your homescreen.
Open build.prop file and edit this line from:
Code:
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=true
to
Code:
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=false
Reboot your device.
Now you will see same LWP on your lockscreen too.
Root is required.

How difficult is that to understand that it is not supported??!! There is no point in arguing when I know what the fact is. Maybe a REAL DEV as you call can do it, but AFAIK no one can/could till date.

I had high hopes that this would work, but it doesn't work on my device (Stock, rooted). Every time I edit the buildprop and reboot as it prompts, it resets value back to true...hmm. Any suggestions?

I have one question. Did you save changes? And after saving make sure you set the build.prop file permission properly.
