I've just upgraded my Spica to Eclair but, so far, I'm unable to use the live wallpapers feature. Any idea on how do I go about it? I've read about sholes and beast but have no clear idea on how they work... are they apk or rom files? I've installed GDC but still nothing... what am I missing? :thinking:
 
Hi,

I've upgraded my spica to 2.1 according this guide: Sameer Prabhakar - Mad Ramblings: Samsung I5700 (Galaxy SPICA) Android 2.1 Flashing Guide (Updated) only had to leave out the csc part. Was able to install live wallpapers from the market, but i needed to install the LiveWallpaperPicker.apk mentioned in this guide: Sameer Prabhakar - Mad Ramblings: Rooting & other goodies on the Samsung Galaxy SPICA I5700 (2.1 Firmware)
Unfortunately after that the live walpapers are currently only appearing at the lock screen, on the home screen it has the static walpaper set.

I got some live wallpapers to work... not the ones that come in the apk file, but some 3rd party ones (live earth, live starfield, etc.)... they work fine but really drag the system... most often I leave the "regular" wallpaper on, but the live ones do impress! I only wish I could manage getting the others to work (the ones that come with the apk). BTW, I use GDE instead of pantheon...
