[ASK]Replacing stock live wallpapers,,

hi there
i hove one noob question here
Is there any way to replacing / installing live wallpaers ?
I'm trying just installing .apk, but it failed
I'm trying manual replacing live wall in my system via Root eksploler, failed again,,,
so i'm courious about this case, is there any other ways ?
if the other way is via Recovery, how can i make xxx.zip from my xxx.apk ?
thx & sory for my noob Q
You sound confused to me...
There is an apk in system/app folder called live wallpaper picker. this does what it says on the tin. When you're on your homescreen and press menu there is an option to choose live wallpaper. This opens the aforementioned apk. If you have installed other live wallpapers they will show here and you can select them.
Hope that clears things up!
Swyped from my HTC Desire oxygen 2.0.3. using XDA App
Theres an apk within my theme called livewallpaper.apk
And that replaces the nexus one with cyanogen livewallpaper
With much more options. If you delete all the other apks from
One of my zips and the framework folder you can flash it in recovery.
You can just add your livewallpaper to the zip also in system/app.

[Q] How i can create a theme with UOT kitchen?

Hi, i'm tried to create a theme for my LG Optimus one (P500) with the UOT Kitchen,but when trying to apply the theme with the theme manager (i've mik's port of CM7 v6.5.2 installed on my phone) says that the theme is bad compiled.
I select mods for battery, icons (status & notif. power), glowing (only overscroll), and window animation. in the "file upload" section i select amend scripting (because i don't have an HTC desire and with the edify scripting the zip file can't be flashed on the recovery), with the patch9 autofix & theme chooser preview enabled. In the file upload section i select "CM7 theme", and as base theme i use Androidian.apk (downloaded from xda-dev thread).
Next, i tried to flash the zip file from the recovery (amonra) and the flash do sucessfull, but when i go to apply the theme through the theme chooser, it says "theme bad compiled". i tried install the apk directly to the phone and the result is the same: "theme bad compiled" . Some tips or solution?
PS: I tried different combinations, like only battery icons modded, only status bar colors modded, and get the same result
Thanks in advance

unzip UOT-xxx.zip and inside you will find your apk.

disable Theme preview in File Upload section if you having problems applying theme.
Theme must be installed as normal apk. Without preview look very carefully in theme chooser list to find installed theme (it will be between other themes).

Now works, thanks
This message is for mendozinas. i do thank you for having a kitchen like this to customize pretty much anything for my phone (p500) Optimus one. I was informed that the kitchen will not support ics based so i flashed over Slimgen 1.6.0 (android 2.3.7) i just made some themes for the rom, havent tried them yet. I did upload the Framework.res and SystemUI.apk of the rom so hopefully it will work this time. I was wondering If you can add my rom (well the rom im using) on the kitchen list. SlimGen 1.6.0 here is the link to download the rom itself. im sure you already know.
http://code.google.com/p/slimgen-pro...downloads/list
Please reply back if you recieved my message. thanks agian. i do appreciate it. I sent you a PM figuring it will get to you quicker but i realized you must have many Pm's about certain questions. So maybe this will do the trick.
I tried to trouble shoot myself, still in early dev mode for me (learning the ropes) but i made a copy of the rom i have and plugged in what was from the UOT file that was giving to me from the kitchen. I made a flashable zip on my desktop and place it on the root of my sdcard. Booted into recovery...flashed it but still i get the same message. Am i using a correct rom for this or what?
Im attaching the UOT file i made so if u may need to look at it its there. any info you want from me just ask, im very greatful for the help, would really like to make different themes on my phone for start then move to rom modding .
I would really like a step by step if possible so i may get this theme up and flashedon my phone so i may make different ones for future needs.
Thanks again and hopefully i will be hearing from you.

i selected d fold animations but they r nt workin..? everythin else is fine jus d animations.. ?

Problem when modifiing SystemUI.apk

Hi,
I would like to modify the SystemUI.apk in order to make my clock to the center.
I tried it with Virtuous Ten Studio (VTS), and Apk Manager, but I failed.
I would like to modify it with this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174202
Every time I replace the systemui.apk with the modified one, after restart I have no notification bar. Even if I replace with the original one, I don't get the notification bar back.
Can someone help me, how to modify it correctly?
Thank you guys!
Ok, I got it, it is working. I followed this tutorial. And I had to flash it in CWM! Otherwise it does not work.
Thanks anyway.

Trying to load LG G2 apk

Not sure if I'm able to do this but I really like the stock weather widget on the T-Mobile LG G2. It's a customized version of the accuweather widget with animations. I have the apk and odex files which i copied to system\apps and gave all three groups read permission, rebooted and still can't seems to see it in the list. When I try to select/install the apk in file browser, it fails to install.
After thinking about it, i'm even wondering if it's possible to take a stock apk and transfer/install it on another phone entirely.
I'm running stock ROM on 4.4.2 KOT49H

LG Leon 4G - Add Quick Circle support to stock rom

My question is very simple.Can I add quick circle support on LG Leon stock ROM by copying apk files from LG G3 stock ROM to /system/app directory?
I am thinking if this is practically possible I will have to resize the images inside the apk for my screen resolution but do I have to add something to system framework or should I make some other modification in order this to work?
It could be possible to make quick circle working for any LG device.
If someone has an idea I would realy appreciate his help.Thanks in advanced.
