Root Coheed And Cambria Live Wallpaper

How about a Detroit Red Wings LWP?

Also, followed your instructions as well as used JRummy's script to change the LWPS and it didn't show up and they are all FC now. How do I apply it? I am on Cyanogen 5.0.6.2

So far this has been true of all cyanogen mod users, You need to grab the stock LiveWallpapers.apk from the cyanogen rom and replace two things in that for it to work. Take the pyramid_background.png from the drawable-hdpi folder, and the nexus.rs from the raw folder out of my LiveWallpapers.apk and put it into yours and it should work.

Look through the thread for LWP's not posted in OP, you dont wanna miss any! ;]

for installation you need to be rooted, and you need to adb push.

Download the file and rename it to LiveWallpapers.apk

1. If you have the SDK installed, move the LiveWallpapers.apk file to the tools folder
2. open command prompt
3. change the directory to the tools folder that you put the .apk into
4. then type adb push LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk

OR

1. put the file in the root of your SD card
2. open up terminal emulator
3. type in this

Code:
su
Code:
[B]cp /sdcard/LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk[/B]
AS ALWAYS I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG. I TEST ALL OF THESE ON MY PHONE BEFORE UPLOADING, BUT THINGS CAN GO WRONG. IT IS RECOMMENDED MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING

Just edited the nexus wallpaper to look like this, pretty neat for any Co&Ca Fans though :]

Corn Huskers Live Wallpaper

Maybe you can help me out with this. I'm installing Smoked Glass 6.0.1 and my phone keeps rebooting itself, never getting pass the initial boot images. I get the DROID followed by the blue eye that changes into the Nexus image and then the phone reloops, displaying DROID followed by the blue eye and Nexus image and again it does the same thing. This continually happens over and over. Initially I was coming from a UD V9.8, so thinking that was the problem I restored back to a unrooted ESE81 with SPRecovery and tried it then only to have the same loop take place again.

I should note that after downloading the file from several sources including Adamz FTP server, I had to change the file type myself to ".tgz".

Any thoughts?

ok after typing

cp /sdcard/LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk

i get the following

cp [options] source dest

options


-a same as
-r recurse
-d Preserve SymLinks
-L
-H
-P
-F Force overwrite



And some other stuff. I put in -f and it says not found.

Sorry im a newbie to this terminal stuff. What do i need to type. From what im reading its telling me the file already exist what do you want to do.

No, im not really sure. I've never installed smoked glass before so im not sure how the process works. I would definitely post that in AdamZ's thread on alldroid. Im sure they would be very helpful there!

Did you type su first?

Code:
su
mount -o,remount rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system/
busybox cp /sdcard/LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk

su "enter" Then
cp /sdcard/LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk

does it all need to be

su cp /sdcard/LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk

No it should be su enter next line. You have busybox installed correct? Try typing exactly what i typed in my previous post and see what happens.

CM 5.0.6.2

I think im going to try to modify the rom itself or at least he lwp file in it. Then re-apply my rom.

I wonder how i would go about adding one of your lwp to the LiveWallpaper.apk To be an option under the nexus lwp. If you got any ideas let me know if not then help someone else. If i dont get it figured out ill live :) thanks for your help.

I realized that on the nexus 1 stock LWP that I have, the "Fall" one is modded to a diffferent looking background than the original one with the leaves. Any idea on how to get it back to the normal one?

Not really sure! what do you have, the one with the cells? you could probably just download the stock file and replace the two things in the fall LWP

I have a question, when I install the JETS wall paper you modded for me to work with Jrummy's version of Koush's version of Cyanogen's rom I use adb and it works fine. My problem is it overwrites the nexus wall paper. How do I have both the JETS paper you made me and the nexus wall paper? Im sorry I know this is a case of I want my cake and eat it too, but I just do.
