Root Install Samsung Galaxy S Live Wallpapers on your Droid X!

[Fabolous]

I'll inaugurate this new subforum!

Here's a little guide on how to get Galaxy S live wallpapers on your phone.

Download this file, and unzip its contents onto your sdcard:

GalaxySLWP.zip

Now, open up your adb shell or terminal emulator:

su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/libmnglw-0.8.2.so /system/lib
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

That will push the required library file to your system

Then, you can just use 'Files' or 'ASTRO' to navigate to /sdcard/ and install the 4 live wallpapers. Enjoy!

Thanks again Fabolous! I was about to ask where you got these when I saw them in the other thread haha...

 

[Fabolous]

The dandelion one is messed up, since our screen is 54 pixels taller than the Galaxy S. I find the Blue Sea one awesome though, and the Ocean waves looks really cool, but does a number on the GPU

The Galaxy S has the X beat pretty handily in that category, I'm afraid.

is that clock/weather beautiful widgets? if so how do you get the clock to look like that? mines jsut a regular clock not sure which skin that is. thanks!

 

[Fabolous]

Aw man, that's like the 100th time I've been asked that question, lol

It's the airportone skin and ANDRODena weather pack.

You need to put that in your signature.

Can the lib file just be copy and pasted in the system/lib dir using root explorer?

Lol, I've been getting that odd randomly for several months now. FYI hitting refresh/f5 makes it go away hehe...

I have been trying unsuccessfully to find androdena weather pack. It's not in the Market. Do you know where I can get it? Thanks.

its through beautiful widgets apps, you don't go through the market, you press download skins in BW

Thanks so much for all your posts and help. I followed all the directions and got all the wallpapers to install, but the "Ocean Waves" looks very distorted and nothing is moving. It is almost as the background is stretched vertically on the screen. I did try to uninstall and reboot then reinstall, but I came up with the same distortion. Any ideas??

Same here... sucks. This was the only paper I was looking forward to.

 

[Fabolous]

You guys pushed the .so file over, right?

Also, this was taken from a 2.1 Galaxy, so it may not work on 2.2...

 

[Mojorisen]

Yeah, pushed the .so file via ADB. I'm thinking it may be a 2.2 issue as well. The other wallpapers work just fine, just not the one I wanted... le sigh.

BTW, congrats on Mod! I've seen/read/learned from many of your posts from my days @ PPCGeeks back with the TouchPro...

 

[irishpride]

I can verify that the only one that doesn't work is the Ocean Waves LW, which just happens to be the one I was looking for.

Not working for me either on 2.2 but the rest are fine. Thanks!

 

[mhynek]

No luck with Ocean Waves LW on rooted 2.2 here either. The others work.

Try the apk of the live wallpaper instead here:
Android Wallpapers | WJD Designs
These don't have to be pushed through adb to the phone...u can install via apk

 

[mightyjohn]

The ocean wave isn't working for me either. Im on the official DX 2.2 rooted. I tried the the one in the zip and the one from WJD too.

 

[gotpowr]

Ocean waves not working for me either. It was working on my Droid x 2.1 but stopped working with the official 2.2 update. Hoping someone fixes it cause it was my favorite wallpaper

 

[vetvipe]

anyone think that the wallpapers will work now since the Fascinate is getting froyo? Can anyone dump the live wall papers?
