Root xtrROM 4.6 and Live Wallpapers

[hdevine]

I have xtrROM 4.6 on my Eris and I don't think I have live wallpapers installed. I downloaded a live wallpaper pack that I wanted to try,but can't figure out how to use them. I suspect that I have to flash or GScript live wallpapers to use them.

Any ideas?

Harry, Zach's original post on xda-developer's forum for xtrROM is a wealth of information - see [ROM][GPL][10/4/2010] xtrROM4.6 [cache2cache,apps2sd,jit,lwp,oc,flash10] - xda-developers - and has an answer to this question:

Live Wallpapers
Live Wallpapers is a feature you can enable for this ROM. I have included my favorite for you to try and you can get others from the Market. Many of the live wallpapers from the market DO NOT function well on our Eris or do not "stick" after reboot, our hardware is underpowered for most and I also find them to be a battery drain. That said I still run a few at times because they are just COOL !

To enable live wallpaper functionality just run the appropriate GScript.

I've never tried a live wallpaper myself, but, yes, there is a gscript to enable them. I think others will have to give you advice about where on the market to find ones that work on the Eris.

+1.

I tried a couple a live wallpapers that came installed on my Droid X (never tried it on my Eris), but never used them for any length of time due to the battery suckage .

They are cool / neat, but I wouldn't trade battery life for having them installed for any length of time...

Thanks guys! Yeah, I found that GScript method about 10 minutes after I sent my question. Go figure! I had a few live wallpapers on earlier, and the battery did go down a little as expected. So I took them off. Just wanted to try it.

Thanks!
