I am currently using a Captivate. I was wondering if there is a way you guys can upload an apk or update.zip file for me with the Epics wallpapers or direct me somewhere I can get them. I really like the beach/water one =p.
Thanks.
As some of you might have noticed, the lates 2.2 build from Samsung deleted some of the stock Android Live Wallpapers. I'm for one missing them, mostly the one with the water and autumn leafs floating by.
Is there anyway of getting the stock Android wallpapers back on my Galaxy? I've noticed a apk-file in some places (in XDA too) that should install them:
http://androidforums.com/android-themes/63536-stock-live-wallpapers.html#post862912
But for me, it dosen't install at all, just cancels the installation progres. Any ideas?
So I managed to install the livewallpapers.apk by downloading root explorer and going to system/app and deleting livewallpapers.apk and livewallpapers.odex files. Then boot and install livewallpapers.apk.
But now I don't have any livewallpapers on my phone, it dosen't even show on the wallpapers-section! How do I undo the damage, is there anyway of returning the original ivewallpapers.apk and livewallpapers.odex -files to the system-folder?

Hi...
Have you found the way how to get it back. The water and Autumn leaves live wallpaper is the best one in my opinion..

The autumn leaves is definetly my favorite too. The #1 reason why I'd like the stock wallpapers on my phone. I'd be great if there were a single apk-file that would install the autumn leaves back to my Galaxy S.
So to answer your question: I did get the stock wallpapers back. For a while at least. I did like I said in my second post, and managed to make them appear and work for a while. Then a day later I noticed that they didn't work properly anymore. They still were there, but when I selected one, the phone showed only blurry animations that didn't work properly.
So I had to paste the original livewallpapers.odx and apk -files back. :-(
Hi everyone! I've been desperately looking for a LWP from S I9000 but in vain. I remember it was pretty colorful: a turquoise sea with sand, sea star and seashells. It was so beautiful and I really miss it. Can someone help to find it? Thanks!
I'm interested in getting the Ocean waves live wallpaper on my Galaxy S2, the one that Samsung Galaxy S originally had by default. Found it on the market, but it doesn't work. It crashes before loading when i try to select it. Is there anyone that has a working version or can anyone report that it works on their Galaxy S2 ? Thanks

I'm suffering the same problem as well. I contacted the samsung apps, but no one replies.
that wallpaper is really amazing
help please
some dev can port it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
yes the ace users also want this live wallpaper .... so we r with u
+1. Me too !
I have an evo shift, and I loved this wallpaper as well when I had android 2.2. Unfortunately, when I upgraded to 2.3.3 it stopped working, same force close error. I read somewhere else that this is because the libraries that this wallpaper uses are incompatible with android 2.3.... Also, because I am not a developer and know nothing about programming these things, I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. I'm hoping that somebody can get this wallpaper working on 2.3 soon, because it is beautiful and I would love to be able to use it again.
Great substitute for Ovean Waves live wallpaper
Since I haven't been able to find a working version either, I came up with a substitute.
Install Touch Ripples from app market. Be sure to get the paid app so you can change the background picture.
Set ocean waves.jpg (attached) as background within the wallpaper app. Move the size sliders (at top) all the way to the right for the best picture.
You'll want to play with the settings to get the ripples just right. At least we can have a look-a-like until samsung updates the wallpaper app.
+1 for ocean waves
This is the best live wallpaper
It rocks very very nice wallpaper, thanks!
I miss all of the SGS wallpapers. This, Aurora and Blue Sea

This and Beach live too!!!
I miss those wallpapers too!
Ive loved the Samsung LWP since the original Galaxy S...essentially the issue with many of these ported Samsung LWP is that they do not work at all on 2.3 and will only work with 2.2. I have tried several ways to try to install them however as far as I know looking at other threads regarding to these LWP is that the Samsung LWP was relatively integrated into their framework, in part with TouchWiz, therefore cannot be ported easily. HTC Sense is also relatively the same with only one that I know of which works perfect with 2.3 but requires relative changes to the root of the phone (does not work on Samsung but worked on all other HTCs). All the others FC unfortunately.
Koi free live wallpaper is equally good and its free.
Nice water effect.

Hello Guys,
This can be worked in ODEXED build roms only. The name of Wallpaper is "Secretwallpaper1.apk" with a odex file(I have renamed to .txt, please rename to .odex extn). Find the attached file & push both files in /System/app with rights of -rw-r--r--. then reboot.
If anyone can Deodexed the apk then it will be wonderful.
Hope it will work.
Hey y'all.
I did a search and didn't find anything.
I was wondering if there were any possible way to get the pink Galaxy live wallpaper and the Grass live wallpaper. Those were pretty much my two favorites and they're not included on ICS.
Thank you and merry Christmas all.

I'm sure if you google it, you can find the .apk files for those and install them regularly on your phone and use them

I don't think it's a separate apk like the others are. I think it's bundled together with an apk called Android Live Wallpapers 2.2. I did a titanium backup from my moms Vibrant and plan on trying to load the apk but I'm reluctant in fear of screwing something up. An alternative would be the Live Wallpaper from Beautiful Widgets and it's the exact same thing. Tried it myself and it ran like **** and lagged like hell.

I got the apk files from the nexus one thread and tried to install the apk file in system/apk (root), it tells me it will copy over (join) the files. Opening live wallpapers.... nothing happend. So disapointed. Im going to look if i can make a galaxy apk myself. But im by no means a coder so don't hold your breath.
Any luck finding it?
Did anyone manage to get the grass livewallpaper in ICS?
I just took a screenshot of the Beautiful Widgets Grass Live Wallpaper, cropped it and used that instead. Saves battery and looks good to me!
I just like that the background changes color during the day. During the day it's nice and bright and easy to see but at night the background is dim so I don't piss off my gf in bed.
Does it really use that much battery? Anyone know of any other backgrounds that change color? I don't really care about the grass moving.
bring back the grass! galaxy was pretty cool too. ive been trying to find these to but can only ever find ones which want to replace system application which sounds a bit dodgy.
Can anybody help a noob out? I'm trying to get an apk download of the new Motorola Spotlight Player app. I can't find it anywhere online. Also, is there a reason it says my device isn't compatible on the play store?
Thanks

It says its not compatible for your device because its specifically for the Moto X.
I know its exclusively for the motox, but I know people here are pretty good about porting or acquiring apps that are technically not available to our gnex.
Just trying to see if anybody can get the apk for me is all.

Hi there. It's not only the spotlight player apk you need. You need also the avatarpermissionsapp.apk which allows the spotlight player to put an overlay on the screen. Both apk have to be installed as system apps.

These installed successfully on my Droid Mini, but I have no idea how to trigger the Spotlight Player to download content or run.

It happens automatically when you're connected to a wlan network and after few minutes to hours after the download is complete you will see a floating hat if everything works.

Both links downloaded, but they don't install, even after changing the permissions. Is the permissions app supposed to be only 9kb?

Yes, permissions apk around 9.04kb.
Avatar apk around 18.59mb.
Permissions have to be 644.
avatarpermissionsapp.apk should be located in /system/app and avatar.apk should be located in /system/priv-app/ if available.

Man, I really wanted this to run on my Nexus 7 and Asus TF700. I tried by putting it into my system apps on the N7 but wouldn't install. :crying:
Thank You for the apk's though.
Trying on my Moto Droid Maxx
Just installed on my Moto Droid Maxx XT1080 and so far so good. After downloading and installing (you have to enable "Unknown sources" to install of course. And also, it is only a Widget, not an App, so it is only found in the Widget section of the Add Drawer.
I was able to launch it successfully and am now just waiting for it to download.
My wife got the MotoX and I got the Droid Maxx. Overall I've been very satisfied with my decision since I was considering the MotoX too. Once she started talking about this cool "augmented reality\immersive movies" she was getting I was totally impressed and had to find how to get it on my phone! I had already been able to install the Nexus 4 camera app the same way so I could take PhotoPhere pictures so figured I could do the same with this one!
I'll update as soon as I get confirmation!
any news? it will work for htc one?
I'm also very interested in getting this to work on my droid maxx xt1080m
