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?
As shocking as it may seem I want some blur on my phone! Im currently running gummy 2.5 but after using blur for a couple of months i miss the messaging, email, alarm, camera, sticky note widget and most importantly the icons! is there anyway for me to get any of this back? I tried installing the apks but to no avail. I think I could do with just the icons. Any advice? Thanks!
They won't install like normal apks to the best of my knowledge. You seem to have all of the APKs though from blur so try one of these methods, not 100% sure it will work but it likely should. (Edit: I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about with the icons, but this should help you get the APKs you want back)
REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING EITHER OF THESE!
1) Download the empty InstallAPKs.zip from this post.
2) Open the archive in 7z or winrar
3) Navigate to system/app and put all the APKs you wan't to install into the zip (just drag them into the archive and let it add/update them. I'd have stuck them in the zip for you but I don't have any blur apks with me)
4) Reboot recovery and install the zip
or
1) You could manually go into the system folder and replace the apks using root explorer. Remember to set permissions to 644 for each file you replace if doing this.
Hi, I had beautiful widgets installed and it was not findeing the location automatically, I had to put the zipcode or the city. Now I copied the networklocation.apk from my phone to the kindle's in the system app folder and now it is finding it by geolocation.

I gave this a shot with nogo... CityID it pulls up with is jibberish and non-locational to where I am at.
Just so you know what I did...
o Copied com.google.androidlocation.apk to /system/app
o Rebooted the device
o Used BeautifyWidgets, selected Weather Widget Setting
o Selected Set Location
o Clicked Geolocation
Errors said Geolocation was not on
o told it to use it anyway
o Saved the settings.

When you copy the app in the settings l, long press the app and choose permissiones and you must have it setup like the pic

Will this work with Google Maps as well?
EDIT: Yup, I am now finding my location in Google Maps as well. Saaweeet!
Used the same permissions as everything else in the /system/app directory

Samomamo, where did you get the NetworkLocation.apk package from, also did you have to adjust anything in Settings.db for any network settings?
I am completely stumped and have been scouring through myriads of posts for some shred of helpful info, so far this post and this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362472
but have had no luck with either one. I am wondering if the answer lies in from where you got your NetworkLocation.apk. Any help would great! Thanks!
I got the apk from my T-Mobile Galaxy s2

I downloaded the networklocation apk from the CM7 gapps. The followed the directions and it is now showing my location. I believe it will only show my location if connected to wifi though.
Gapps is found here : goo-inside.me/gapps/
Solved issue by adding files and editing framework-res.apk
If anyone searching is interested in how I was able to solve this I could not simply add the Google Network Location APK, I had to force the Amazon "framework-res.apk" file to recognize it by editing the '/res/values/strings.xml' with the following lines:
Same ol' disclaimers - I'm not responsible for whatever you do with this info, if you brick your device, its your decision to try and not my fault or issue to fix. This is nothing new I just put the various pieces together from research through other posts, forums, etc. so credit where credit is due.
irishmyles003 and samomamo thank you very much for your input. Though I wish your solutions would have worked I am glad I had this challenge as I think I taught myself a little more about how to mess around and tweak the system a bit.
I still added the NetworkLocation.APK as stated and explained by Samomamo, but I had the do the following steps in order to get the framework to actually react to network location requests, since it kept returning "null".
<<Original>>
Code:
<string name="config_networkLocationProvider">@null</string>
<string name="config_geocodeProvider">@null</string>
<<Modded>>
Code:
<string name="config_networkLocationProvider">com.google.android.location.NetworkLocationProvider</string>
<string name="config_geocodeProvider">com.google.android.location.GeocodeProvider</string>
Steps:
Use ApkTool to pull "framework-res.apk" and decompile
Replace the lines above to match the modded section
Recompile the APK to "unsignedframework-res.apk"
Copy and rename original "framework-res.apK" -> "originalframework-res.apk" (put this file aside in case you need to flash if you make a mistake)
Rename the original and newly compiled files to .zip (so you can extract, edit, etc)
- "framework-res.apk" -> "framework-res.zip"
- "unsignedframework-res.apk" -> "unsignedframework-res.zip"
Extract "resources.arsc" from unsigned and paste (and overwrite) to the "framework-res.zip" file
Rename "framework-res.zip" -> "framework-res.apk"
Push "framework-res.apk" to device (need to mount /system r/w)
chmod 644 (i.e. <rw, r, r> for root explorer)
Reboot and voila it worked (for me at least)!

I could not give correct props because I got these from outside links, but [email protected] and the Enable CRT Animation guide at freeyourandroid.com and the APKtool tutorial at miui-au.com
Also if you google using the info above you will find you can also enable the AOSP GB CRT Animation by editing a line in the bools.xml, I tried this and it works! Enjoy!.
EDIT: After applying the framework-res.apk and rebooting I just realized that my accounts were lost. I just had to re-add them via SyncSettings (Market: com.francesandmarky.android.syncsettings) - Amazon, Gmail, and Facebook.

Could someone post the modified framework-res.apk?
Why does it work for some but not others?
andTab, I tried but the max filesize is 8 mb for APK files, the framework-res.apk is 27-31 mb. I couldn't figure out why the original posters were able to do it by just adding the files. When I unpacked the APK it was intentionally set to null not allowing usage of the google location framework.

Thanks for your work guys...
I downloaded and applied this frame work apk, the crt animation is now enabled, but google maps still not finding my location in the middle of Los Angeles.
Hmmmm
You still need NetworkLocation.Apk from Gapps put into /System/App (also run it from your SD Card), then reboot. The adjusted lines in the Framework-Res points to this framework.
So my evo 3d is running ICS, can I still use the file? Or could someone post a working one?

I'm not too sure, if you're working off stock the Kindle Fire uses 2.3.4 so I would use the 8/28 version from the website irishmyles003 provided.
Hmm still not having a whole lot of luck.
I downloaded the networklocations apk from gaps of the correct date. Also installed the updated framework. Like I said Im seeing CRT change.
I've set up the geo location through beautiful widgets.. but still not finding location.
What am I missing?
thanks
also when I placed the network locations apk I set correct permission and tried to install it, it said application not installed. Could to be part of the problem?

Placing it in the /system/app area is installing it.
Make sure you reboot for the system to see it though.
Note: I've not tried this patch...
I'm not exactly sure why it isn't working for you. I spent a few days looking at logcat's and forums. Don't forget to change the permissions (mentioned earlier in this thread) to 644.
I recently used the flashable auto debloat file posted in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326002
I was a little lazy in not going thru the entire text file to see that SamsungWidget_ProgramMonitor.apk would be included in the debloat, and now I can't get it back onto my I9505.. I've pasted it back into /system/apps and changed the permissions to 777 but no luck, it doesn't show in widget's after reboot. and it won't install as a normal app (tho some do i.e video).. what can I do, and what's the cause?
p.s. the search isn't working according to a pop up I keep getting so I posted this thread instead.
hmmm.. repeating the exact same process as before worked a few moments ago.
I ran a debloater script and it removed a lot of bloatware from my S7 Edge. Unfortunately it also removed live wallpaper picker.
Does anyone know how to get it back?
I searched online and installed some APKs and put them in my system/app but nothing has worked so far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

you can just download any samsung marshmallow rom doesn't even has to be a S7 rom and extract it somewhere. I would recommend a custom rom since they are very easy to extract. Take the Livewallpaperpicker/chooser folder and copy it in the same folder u got it from and don't forget to set the right permissions! that's very important and set it on all files that u newly copied over and then just restart ur phone! that should work 100% it's very easy and nothing should go wrong.
