[Q] Live Wallpaper Custom Image Error - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
So I had this Ripple Live Wallpaper that I used on my S2 running Jelly Bean and selected a custom wallpaper and no problems.
Now I have this amazing Note 3 and when I select the default wallpapers in the app everything works fine. But whenever I select a custom wallpaper the Live Wallpaper goes black and tells me "Unfortunately 'App Name', has stopped".
So I downloaded this really cool looking Live Wallpaper called "Fluid" which has awesome ripple like features. Using the built in wallpapers works fine, but when I select an image I downloaded it give the exact same error as above.
Does anybody know why this would happen and how do I get it to work..?
Thanx...

Anyone...?
Maybe someone could install the Live Wallpaper and try to set a custom image as wallpaper and see if they also get the error..?

Seems some of the live wallpapers are not yet completely compatible wit KitKat.
Just got another one which works flawlessly with my Note 3, custom image and all.
If anyone would like to know they can pm me.

Wallpaper Homescreen Not Locked

I need your inputs and solution regarding with my homescreen wallpaper that is not locked whenever i go to another homescreen. the wallpaper on the background will move as well. I used 3 homescreen so that the i will have a centered homescreen wallpaper.
Just recently flashed ROM and Kernel using Omega 6 and Siyah 1.2.6.
I also downloaded "crop wallpaper" from google play but didn't resolved my slight problem.
Thank You

Help! Live Wallpaper Picker cannot be launched - stock ROM

After a reboot I could no longer select any live wallpaper anymore all of a sudden. I have tried clearing cache and removing all data associated with the Live Wallpaper Picker but nothing has worked! Every time I am getting "Unfortunately the Live Wallpaper picker has stopped" when picking a previously installed live paper. This is VERY frustrating. I am running stock ROM rooted and have re-enabled all previously disabled apps and have unstalled greenify as well just in case. Have rebooted a few times and has not worked.
What I could remember doing was trying to clear all icons from the stock Touchwiz launcher as I am trialling other launchers. Would I have accidentally deleted some vital shortcuts? Removing the shortcuts does not remove the apps themselves, however.
I'm at a lost at what to do and really would prefer having to do a hard reset if possible. It has taken me 2 weeks to set up my Note 3 almost perfectly .....
UPDATE: I just found that I could still load Live Wallpapers IF I return back to touchwiz and set wallpaper via the menu (left) button. However I am still unable to set Live Wallpapers normally via the settings menu - the picker always crashes....
Any advice would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

you could try this go to google play download any live wallpaper ,when downloaded press open and see what happens
tried already. The wallpaper picker will crash just like before. The only way is to get back to Touchwiz interface and use the menu button to set wallpaper. That way I can still select the custom wallpaper. This only occurred AFTER I went to Touchwiz and cleared up all the useless icons from the apps....I must have stuffed up something in TW...

You can change it from SETTINGS/DEVICE/WALLPAPER also. try that
Also tried. That is how i normally set my wallpapers. That was how I discovered I could no longer load the live wallpapers.

there are some wallpaper picker apk on here do a search see if you can find one for n3
I am too scared to replace the stock apk if its still working via touchwiz. At least it still works. I have probably broken something when i deleted off all the shortcuts in the TW desktop.

This happened to me when I had too many live wallpapers installed, it couldn't load the list. (about 30). Don't suppose that could be it?

Did you ever get a solution to the live wallpaper crashing problem? I have the same exact problem.

I get this as well, in Nova, LWP crashes. If I load Touchwiz Home, it works fine. Kind of irritating to swap launchers just to change the LWP settings.

Thanks for posting this, hadn't thought to try setting the live wallpaper from tw home. I had touchwiz home frozen with TB. Unfroze it, set the live wallpaper from tw home, and live wallpaper is back in Nova. It wasn't enough to merely unfreeze tw home, I had to set the live wallpaper from there too.

I have touchwiz running, simple and easy and I swapped between them, but the live wallpaper still crashes. Even after putting the .apk in the system/app folder and changing the permissions, etc. I'm running Sacs rom on an S4.
Unfortunately Live Wallpaper Picker has stopped - Fix
1. Backup and Uninstall the system
[Live Wallaper Picker]
{livewallpaperspicker.apk}
ONLY (NOT livewallpapers.apk) with [Lucky Patcher](you need to enable system files in Lucky Patcher) or some other App like that (you don't need to uninstall any already installed live wallpapers).
2. Download many livewallpaperspicker.apk you can find all over the internet for different Android versions(doesn't matter even if the version is not specified, download anything you can). (btw, I am using a LiveWallpapersPicker.apk by cycloneblast which I found in another thread. I've no idea what version it targets)
3. Install the livewallpaperspicker.apk for the Android version you are running.
4. If it still says unfortunately live wallpaper picker... then Install other versions and test them(you don't need to restart your device).
5. If still not working, then remove odex file of the Live Wallpaper Picker with Lucky Patcher and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. If STILL not working then remove corpses with [SD Maid](you need to enable system files in it's settings first which is usually turned off when you install it). WARNING: Use at your own RISK.
Hi. I have outlined the fix for this in my video on youtube here: youtubeDOTcom/watch?v=7DlTBr8r2Ws

Live Wallpaper

Anyone know how to get live wallpaper on 8.9 or 7 without safestrap? How did Cpasjuste get it working for apex launcher in the thor-gapps-rom? I am going to guess that it was something built into CM 10 that carried over and there isn't anyone here who understands why it works? Cpasjuste had no reply when I PM'd him about it.
Got my live wallpaper working. Moved audible and amazonmp3 out of the system folder to make room because I don't use it. Ran stunt's wallpaper fix and installed kindlefree livewallpaper picker. Still force closes but if I setup the wallpaper using it's own app and then click apply in the wallpaper picker for the split second it's on screen I get live wallpaper. Hope someone can let me know if there is a way to make this work properly/cleanly without fc, but otherwise working.

What live wallpaper are you using? I tried that using Phase Beam and ended up with a black background.

Question about the Nougat update.

Hello everyone. I seem to have a bit of a problem regarding live wallpapers with the new 7.0 Nougat update. I am currently using the Galaxy Pack app from Play Store as my live wallpaper and I was using it on both my home screen and lock screen. Now here's the problem, after the update I tested out some stuff (including changing the wallpapers) and now I cannot put the live wallpaper back on the lock screen. On the home screen it works fine. When I try to select a static picture as my wallpaper, after I select it, it asks me (Do you want this on your home screen, lock screen, or both?), but when I select the Galaxy Pack wallpaper it just sends me on the app's menu where I click set wallpaper and only the home screen one applies. I have tried different launchers including Nova launcher (The one I currently use) and Google Now Launcher, but nothing lets me put the Galaxy Pack LW as a lock screen wallpaper. Please help.
Also on a side note, does anyone know how to set the settings, quick settings tab, etc. on dark(black) theme? I hate all the white of it. Is it possible to do this at all? (without rooting)
Just downloaded planety of live wallpapers. None of them is working on the lockscreen, nothing really can be done here. But changing theme to any other colour is simple, just open the Samsung themes app and set the dark one.

All right. Thank you for responding. I hope they fix the live wallpaper problem soon. And many thanks for the dark theme. Cheers.

Live Wallpaper Stopped Working

Suddenly Live wallpaper says that it is not installed. I have tried a soft reboot, safe mode, changing launchers, installing Google Wallpapers, stop process within Live Wallpaper. Nothing has worked which sucks for me because I use Nova launcher and KLWP with a live wallpaper I designed but no longer can use. Unrooted stock Note 4. Anyone please?
