My app name: Simple Live Wallpaper
Google Play Link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplepoet.simplefree
I am a developer of live wallpaper. And I have created some live wallpaper like the one above. However, I was disappointed to find that the Nokia X (which I like very much)did not support the live wallpaper.
Does it mean that live wallpaper is useless or just a few poeple like to personalize their phone?
Today, almost all devices with Google Play support live wallpapers. Are you sure the Nokia X doesn't support them, or is it just their launcher that doesn't support them? i.e., can you download a third party launcher like Nova to get it working?
I don't think you need to mention in your store description that it doesn't work on Kindle, because Kindles do not have the Google Play store on them.
In fact, if you have your manifest set up correctly, you don't need to mention any devices that don't support live wallpapers, because your app will be hidden from them anyway.
Thanks

Thanks. I have tested some launchers on Nokia X, it seems that the nokia x has removed the component of live wallpaper, just like kindle. So it is hard to give nokia x a live wallpaper, but i would try to find out the methods.

I just got a nexus one exactly one week ago and Im lovin it. I made the switch from win mo. I had the Touch HD and Xperia X1. Now I dont want to root the nexus because it voids warranty and there seems to be many problems users are having with it. I dont want to have no warranty if anything happens to mine.
So I would like to know, what apps should I get and what widgets. There is a very limited number of widgets on the nexus and I want to fill up the home screen. I downloaded engadget and they have a widget, I downloaded a couple of games, xda app, and the htc sense keyboard. So I hope you other nexus users can help me since Im an andoid newbie.

What are you looking for in a widget?
I'm currently using..
Beautiful Widgets (paid)
AudioManager
DaysUntil
National Rail
Network Widget
PhotoFrame
Pure Calendar (paid)
Pure Music (paid)
nice, just downloaded. audio manager. Im looking for sense like widgets. If there was an htc desire compatable with att 3g. I wouldve got it
Hmm ok I can tell you about a couple of apps that I use often at least:
Handcent SMS - Much better than the built in messaging app imo
Dolphin Browser - I prefer it to the stock browser
3G Watchdog - Keeps track of how much you transfer over 3G, very useful
Agenda Widget - A good widget for showing upcoming appointments
RealCalc - A calculator with a "few" more options than the stock oen
Nimbuzz - Will cater to most of your IM needs
Spotify - Good for streaming music and storing it offline if it's available in your country
Doggcatcher - Great program for podcasts
Barcode Scanner -Good to have to scan in those barcode links that are used a couple of places
Battery Indicator - Gives you a number to look at in the notification bar instead of the pretty useless built in battery icon
Connectbot - SSH client
Smart Keyboard - A great keyboard with different skins and dictionaries for many languages
Documents to Go - Great office suite
Xe Currency - Keeps you up to date with conversion rates
Weather widgets - A good clock/weather widget
Games:
Don't know about that many games and I can't get the full versions of most of them since I don't have paid apps where I come from and I'm not rooted, but I can suggest a few.
Snesoid - Essential imo, play all those great SNES games on your phone and you won't need much else on the gaming side
Abduction - Jumping cows, what else do you need from a time waster?
SFCave - classic game from the early Palm devices if I'm not mistaken
Toss It - Good time waster
3d Pong - Classic flash game
Anways my tip for you is just to look around the market and test out apps, many are free and most have at least a lite version and that is the best way to find out if you like/need an app.

I'd definitely give Beautiful Widgets a go then
fwiw, handcent sms is a great app. it totally replaced mine.
the htc keyboard is great, i have it on my rooted desire rom.
Beautiful Widgets is what your looking for if you want sense style widgets. I believe they nearly got sued for their weather clock.
I love the textsfromlastnight widget, lol, but dunno if you like that site.
i keep the facebook stock widget open.
weather/news widget is actually ok, but i use the desire weather widget.
I know alot of phone sections have a list of these, being we dont have ROM's readily available to us yet, it would probably be a good idea to compile a list of things that can safely be frozen / uninstalled from titanium backup, not just including the regular bloat, i have just started messing around with mine, so if anyone would like to share i will add them to a list in the OP.
Safe:good:
All amazon bloat
Verizon Apps
Audible
Circles
Demo Mode
Email
Google Play Books
Google Play Magazines
Google Play Movies
Google Plus
Help
How to Videos
IMDB
Moto Chinese Input
Moto Smart Handwriting
Moto Stroke
Moto #$%$^
Movie Studio
NFL Mobile
Picasa Uploader
Quick Office
Setup Wizard ( all of them )
Smart Actions ( all 3 )
Swype
Video Calling
Viewdini
VZ Navigator
Zappos
This is all i have done so far and know is safe, but i know that there is ALOT more that can safely be frozen / removed. lets get the list rollin
Modem Fast Dormancy ( disable to save battery? )
Stock launcher and config
Circles config
Anything with "huxvmm" in it
Favorite contacts
All setup wizard apps
Online album
Google chrome
Preset
Debug apps
Movie studio
Orientation notifier
Google talk
Talk back
Tags
Voice commands
ill continue the list here, that was my other account, since i forgot my pw.
some taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942984
circles is disabled but always shows in my running apps? Any idea why, I know there is a weather service associated with it but idk if disabling that would disable weather all together
already covered
Existing thread on this already, for circles to not show up just uninstall it and its associated config extension

when i was on stock i didnt use nfc and un installed it and the phone still worked fine i also got rid of moto account service or what ever it was called
Does anyone know why my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus hide the Google Play Apps (Books, Magazines, Movies)?
Both are running stock android, unrooted and everything but those apps are hidden even if I instal the apk it asks if i want to replace the app, says install complete, but nothing shows on the app drawer, or the widgets menu. At first I thought that it was because I'm outside the US but they aren't hidden on the nexus 7s on display in the store, so no I have no idea why that is, any suggestions?
It depends on your country
Music, Movies and books are restricted based on your country (draconian copyright laws). Only US gets all of them by default. If you are rooted, it would be easy to spoof your location to US using MarketEnabler app. That would bring some of these back.

Thanks, that's what I thought just wanted to make sure because the ones on display do have them, good thing there are alternative apps on the play store.
I purchased an app off the market to use on my phone. Does anyone know a way to install a paid app on the nexus player running lolirock?
My phone isn't rooted so I can't pull the apk from my phone.... =/
Of course you can, use APK Share from KN Inc (Play Store).

Oh wow, that's awesome! I didn't realize I could get an apk of a purchased app without root.
Thanks brandogg!
Just trying to do my part. I have Google Drive on my ADT-1, I just use "share" on the KN app and it's available within a few seconds or so. Bear in mind there will still be a handful of apps that don't work.
Also, you're probably already aware of this, but in your web browser (even on Chrome on the Nexus Player or ADT-1) you can go to play.google.com/store and search for apps then choose which device to send it to from there. There are quite a few apps that are completely compatible with the Android TV devices, they just don't show up in the Play Store app (probably because they don't have all the appropriate icon packs, etc). Saves a little bit of time that way.
Some live wallpapers that i really like don't work. I got them from google play and it works when i apply but then it crashes. What should i do and why is this happening?

Mostly, this is a problem with the app developer not coding their apps correctly. Try contacting the dev from the app see if your device is compatable!
