Guys i have lost the option to select live wallpaper. I had deleted it in error thinking i was deleting the live wallpapers that came with the phone-not the actual program that allows you to use live wallpapers. So i have been reading on the forum where i saw that i should reinstall the live wallpaper apk and the live wallpaper picker apk which i have done but its not still not appearing as an option when i go wallpapers.
Someone said this: "okay fixed it. found a dump of all of the original vibrant app/files and copied over the live wallpapers and livewallpaperpicker apk and odex files into the /system/app folder and it works again!!"
I copied the apks to the system/app folder and it still doesn't work. I don't know what odex files are. Can someone help ?
maybe you need to reboot or at least restart home apk? Hope it helps

new live wallpaper from fascinate avail. but the install method recommended didnt work on my galaxy s.. i9000.. (ie copying zip to update.zip and applying didnt work for me).. i had to unzip the zip file. and manually copy the .so libto system/lib. also installing the wallpapers did install but wouldnt run... instead of installing i had to manually copy the .apk to data/app
here is the link

Cool. Used your method and all is working fine.
As for the wallpapers themselves, they are not bad
Thanks for these; I was more interested in the static wallpaper links there though, so thanks for that again!
I changed my lockscreen wallpaper, now I fancy returning to the default (red starburst design). I cannot find it ANYWHERE. Where is the default lock screen wallpaper?
I couldn't find it either.
I could only access it if I wanted to change the phone wallpaper (not the lockscreen wallpaper) but it still didnt give its location. It is probably buried in a zip file or something

Probably stored in a system apk (like SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk/touchwiz-framework-res.apk). Browse through some of them with 7-zip, extract any /res/drawable***** folders and look through them, you might find it. If you do, just copy it to your SD card and load it from there.
its inside framework-res.apk under system/framework.
how do i get into system/framework?

any filemanager just about. I use Linda/root explorer.
Wrong y'all
Go with root explorer to data/data/com.coliris.media/files and delete zzzzzz_lockscreen_wallpaper.jpg and you will auto revert to default whatever it is in framework-res.
Or you can delete gallery data In settings and restart phone.

/system/app/TwWallpaperChooser.apk
Better yet intall the ASTRO file manager then hit the search button for the file.
Hello there,
I found an easy way to change the icons of system apps[msg,music...etc] for ppl who don't know to use ADB
1.Now your ace should be rooted...install root explorer or any file browser that can copy the .apk from system/app.Eg..ive copied the music.apk to sd card.
2.now transfer it to your PC and replace the icon.png in drawable mdpi with your own file using winrar..[Every apk has a diffrent name for the icon..for some it will be ic_launcher..etc],so check it and replace
4.now place the edited .apk in the app folder in the zip file i've attached,move it to your sd card[don't put in any folder]and flash in recovery...
I think most of the people know of this site?
Even I got in touch with it on the first day of visiting SGA forums.
but you cant change the icons in app drawer using uot..you can do that by following my steps......
Oh, had no idea. Was just generally talking about the site, i installed Go launcher on the first day so i havent got in touch with TW xD

i use MyFiles.apk and now it doesn't show MyFiles, just replaced the icon then the apk using Root Explorer and rebooted, disappeared. what to do?
you cant just replace your apk in root explorer...follow the updated method above
I did like you say up, used ur zip, replaced the icon then inserted the apk in app folder in the UOT zip and entered Recovery mode and installed it from there, still doesnt' appear, maybe because i change it 1st, and didn't do backup :7
try changing something else..make sure your using .png of same dimension
Tried it with memo.apk an nothing happen.

Can someone post LiveWallpapersPicker.apk from JB 4.1.2.
Some time ago i deleted LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, as i was using "Panoramic Screen".
And today i accidentally set image as standard wallpaper and now i cant get "Panoramic Screen" working, as it requires LiveWallpapersPicker.
I tried some apk`s from internet, some didn`t install, some crashed when i tried to change wallpaper.
Do LiveWallpapersPicker needs another stock app to work properly?

if you're asking for the apk from stock sammy roms then use this one
you know the drill : copy it in preload\symlink\system\app\ with the right permissions
take care

Hello.
I download via stock wallpaper live wallpaper. It will be saved in the folder of my downloaded live wallpaper. They stay there for a while and then disappear and are no longer visible in the downloads. When I find them in the file manager, they are stored there.
What could be the problem?
You can try to uninstall wallpaper app via https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools (a simple tool with his own UI using ADB and java) then re install it, could fix it ?
I'll try. Thanks
So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the problem still persists.
You can see in the screenshot.
There are 3 live wallpapers downloaded. Each has a folder where the wallpaper itself - video and sound.
And a separate file will be created for each folder, which is marked on the screenshot.
When I delete this file, the wallpaper is not visible in the wallpaper stock application, but the wallpaper is still functional.
It's just that this file disappears by itself after a while and I don't see the downloaded wallpaper. It is not clear to me why the file disappears by itself.
So, the problem is solved in its own way.
1. I'm downloading live wallpaper.
2. I immediately have to set it as a background, for example a home screen.
3. A folder with the video itself is created automatically.
4. I move the separate video to the root folder of the live wallpapers and leave only the separate video there.
5. All other created files, including what mysteriously disappeared itself, must be deleted!
6. A separate video file must remain there.
7. You can also record your own video and paste it into the root folder of live wallpapers and it will appear in live wallpapers and you can use it like other live wallpapers.
