Steps To Modify SGS3 Photowall Live Wallpaper

Hi All,

I had tried multiple roms and when used the Photowall Live Wallpaper, I could not point it to the photo gallery to use my own pics. The gallery would never open and I had to do with the default pics which came with the SGS3. (Not sure if anyone has faced this issue).

After playing around with the apk files I did find a way to use my own pics in the PhotoWall Live Wallpaper. I hope you would like this.

A: Uploading your pictures in the Photowall.apk file.

1.	Select a maximum of 8 pictures that you wish to use in the Photowall and move them to a folder on your desktop.

2.	Rename the 8 pictures as follows: g1p1.jpg / g1p2.jpg / g1p3.jpg / g1p4.jpg / g1p5.jpg / g1p6.jpg / g2p1.jpg / g2p2.jpg

3.	Extract the Photowall.apk from ICS ROM onto a folder on your desktop. (I used RemICS v1.3, haven’t tried this is on any other ROM).

4.	Open the apk file using winrar. (Do not extract, just open)…. Navigate to the PhotoWall.apk\res\raw folder.

5.	You should be able to see the files as shown in the screenshot 1.jpg

6.	Click on “Add” and navigate to the folder where you have stored the pictures (remember to rename them as mentioned in step 2).

7.	Select the files and click “OK”. This will replace the original files in the Photowall.apk.

8.	Once this is done, exit/close the apk file opened in winrar.

You can try installing this file directly by copying it to your phone, however that didn’t work on my phone.

B: Uploading your customized Photowall.apk file in your ROM. (Tested on RemICS v1.3).

1.Open the Rom that you wish to flash (I used RemICS UX v1.3) using winrar (do not extract)

2.Navigate to \data\app folder.

3.Click on “Add” and navigate to the folder where you have saved your customized Photowall.apk. (Make sure that the name is “Photowall.apk”).

4.This will replace the original Photowall.apk with your customized file.

5.Exit and save the zip file.

6.Use the new edited Rom and copy it to the root of your “Internal SD” card.

7.Reboot the phone to “Recovery” and flash the new Rom. (I did not lose my data & settings as I did not wipe cache partition or Data/Factory, however this may or may not work for you. To be on a safer side please backup your data and applications. I will not be responsible for any data loss or bricked devices while trying this procedure. Try at your own risk.).

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
I think you over complicated the install process by a bit...

Why not just use a file explorer with root permissions and place the new Photowall.apk back to /system/app where it actually belongs, reboot the phone and be done with it? (/system/app is where live wallpapers that come with the phone are located by default, not /data/app)

As you can see here on my GS3, two of the several live wallpapers (phase beam and photo wall) are in /system/app

And these are the proper permissions for the apk
[Captivate Themes and Apps] maqbulsayed:
I tried that, but that wont work..... that the reason i mentioned

" You can try installing this file directly by copying it to your phone, however that didn’t work on my phone. "

Unfortunately wht u menitioned didnt work for me...

correct me if I am wrong... did u mention SG3... for SG3, you dont need to modify the photowall.apk, if you go to the wallpaper settings you can select pics from your gallery..
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
Yes, I understand that on the SG3 you don't need to do this, but on a Captivate, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to place it in /system/app and still have it work.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wernerzero:
Jeez, got my new Prime yesterday, from my insurance company, as the old one's screen cracked.

So I rooted it and installed all the apps and customized it just as I wanted it with some mods. After a while the problems started...

1) Screen went black and had to reboot it. That happened at least 10 times. A few times I had to press the ON-button several times before anything happened.

2) The screen just goes nuts with the colors ie. turns pink and blotchy...

and

3) When I connected the dock...smoke rose from the dock and smelled like welding... Ok, I thought there had been some dirt that burned off. Connected again and noticed it wouldn't fit properly, couldn't lock.

As I unconnected it started to smoke again!!!

Stupid as I am, I tried a third time and...BLAM! Small flames came from the dock!!!

Amazingly the tablet itself is OK, except from 1 and 2...

Guess I'll have to call ASUS :rolleyes:

Funny, I now have one Prime with a cracked screen that works fine and one Prime with good screen that is a complete mess and could probably burn down my house!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
Ouch! Take some pics please.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lil-devil:
i really find that hard to believe....

with the amount of voltage and current the prime is able to provide, i highly doubt it is able to create a small fire unless you did something really stupid with it....smokes yes, fire no.....

but please do post some pictures and let us know what asus says
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
^^

only smoke i smell is bull**** troll
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wernerzero:
I'll try it later and see what happens...

Can be difficult to take pics,but I can try video.

Hopefully there won't be any flames (or BIG sparks, really) or smoke, as I'm scared it'll damage the tablet...

And I don't think it is "really stupid" to connect the tablet to the dock... ;)

Let's see later what happens :fingers-crossed:

I wonder if I have to contact the insurance company as well, as they got me this crappy one.

W.Z.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lil-devil:
once again, with the power coming from the dock and tablet, you shouldn't be getting any flames or a big spark, small one maybe

but then again, im not sure whats inside the prime so i can't be 100% sure on the spark, but flame no... unless you spilled flammable liquid in there... but that will fall under doing something stupid
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
I guess you have never seen a LIPO battery fire.

[youtube]YCWdnjLqVWw[/youtube]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wernerzero:
...and the strange thing is that it didn't come from the connector, but from the hinge's left side !?

The flame/spark resembled lighting a small match, believe it or not...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wernerzero:
Well it certainly wasn't as explosive as in the video...!!! :D

Funny that's a Finnish video, my fellow citizens experimenting :)

But yes, guess we all have read about phones and batteries exploding and caught fire.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
why is it always so hard for the person claiming these things happening to take pictures.

you can take video but not a picture? can you explain how you are able to achieve one with out the other lol? unless you are using a straight up video camera that only does video and records to VHS for goodness sake.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wernerzero:
Hrrm...well, it is freakin' difficult to take a picture with one hand when you're doing something that needs two hands...unless you're a mutant that got three?

Video is easier as I can start recording and then stabilizing the phone/cam on a stand. And no my phone doesn't record to VHS...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] killermojo:
Just take the video and post it so we don't have five pages of people calling bull****
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 6666:
Were sorry, however lighting your prime on fire voids your warrantee so we will be unable to issue an RMA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kdn102:
I think they just want a picture showing the fire damage...so just prop up the prime /dock on something so the burnt bits are facing the camera and snap a pic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wernerzero:
You can't see that much from this image, but...I got it on video. I'll upload it in a minute...

So yeah, I'm going to call my insurance company first, as they bought it for me as a replacement, to let them know and if they want to take care of it. If not, I'll call ASUS.

hi everyone

i currently own a HTC desire and a few days ago got an offer from a friend of mine who was willing to exchange his HTC desire HD with my desire,the thing holding me back is the battery life(which i read about the desire HD is pretty poor)

my daily routine involves playing games for around 1hr,listening to music for around 1hrs,almost 30 mins of calling and texting,negligible videos,and 1-2hrs of internet use(internet is used only while charging)(i use wifi,no data package) and usually charging for 2hrs in the afternoon and i still have to charge it at night

can anybody please tell me how long can the desire HD run with this or similar battery use without the afternoon charge(because the afternoon charging is what im aiming to permanently avoid)

[HTC One X] dr9722:
Firstly, you should not start flashing stuff to your phone unless you are 100% sure of what you are doing. The community is here to help, not to bail you out because you couldn't be bothered to read the instructions carefully.

Right rant over lets try and get this phone working again. As you have already flashed the rom, that's a start. You now need to go into the bootloader to flash the kernel and ram disk.

So step by step:

1) Boot into the bootloader (hold volume down and power)

2) Download the appropriate boot.img from the ARHD thread.

3) Place the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.

4) From the Command Line run fasboot flash boot boot.img

5) Then run fastboot erase cache

I may be wrong but I think the ARHD boot.img contains a script which automates steps 4 and 5 in which case you can just run the script and ignore these steps. Once you have done all this the phone will boot normally.
[HTC One X] ayhamx360:
hi man thanks for ur replay :)

i did the first step and download the boot.img from the ARHD thread

what do u mean by place the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot. can u please explain more im a noob :)

and for please explain me step by step what to do for step 3 and 4

thanks alot for helping me :)
[HTC One X] DrAnGeR:
Have u installed the SDK platform tools in ur computer?if not type on google Android SDK and download it then you can do the following. place the image file (which is the kernel) in the path of SDK(where is installed. Mine for example is on C:\Program files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\(Place here UR kernel file) )

afterwards open an CMD and then type the following fastboot flash boot NAME_OF_IMAGE.IMG. everything that dr97.. said is right u should do those steps first. my guidance is on what to do and where to place the kernel. ill be online all time to answer you as sooner i can.

Good luck m8
[HTC One X] ayhamx360:
hi man no i dont have google android SDK because its disabled in my country

its blocked in my country for some reason i can download it :(

any other way to make my phone boot up ?

thanks alot in advance waiting for ur replay

[HTC One X] DrAnGeR:
i didnt forget you just checking if we can do it with other way.

found a way. go here download it. Make sure u have the HTC sync installed. Once u download the tool u will find 2 files one exe and one folder.inside the folder u will find 2nd folder with name Kernels. place there your kernel and go back one folder where you will find Windows Batch file with name UserKer Press it and follow the instructions

One more edit. Rename the Kernel as Boot! or else i think it will not work the script

GOOD LUCK :)

uploaded the fastboot files to www.teky.co.uk/downloads/fastboot.zip, hope it helps

please tell me now what to do step by step i would be really thankfull :)

[HTC One X] teky:
If you are now trying to get back to stock then you need to know a few things first. If you have a branded phone (locked to a network provider) then you will need to download their RUU for the phone, if you have an unbranded phone (can use any sim card in it) then you will need to flash the unbranded RUU for your phone. and unbranded RUU can be Identified if the firmware is like the following: x.xx.401.x, a branded phone goes something like: x.xx.771.x (this is for 3 UK, the 771 part will be different depending on your network).

Secondly what firmware were you on before flashing a custom ROM onto your phone? were you on 1.26, or 1.28, or 1.29? you will need to have the relevant stock recovery and RUU for your firmware version. If you can't remember then what is your hboot version? if its 0.43 then you are most probably on 1.26, 0.94 should be for 1.28, and 0.95 I believe is for the 1.29 variant.

you can unlock your bootloader again using the same unlock.bin file from the HTCDEV site to flash the right stock recovery onto your phone, then relock the bootloader again and then run the RUU. This should bring you back to almost factory defaults.

you should be able to find the right RUU from THIS thread, The right recovery from HERE and disaster recovery tutorial from HERE

And next time PLEASE READ UP ON HOW TO DO THIS STUFF, BEFORE ACTUALLY DOING IT.
[HTC One X] ayhamx360:
hi man thanks alot for ur replay :)

my phone is unbranded i can use any sim i want i opened the ruu tried the ('RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.29.415.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260742_signed) my phone rebooted with htc sign after 4 minuets it gaved me (Error(132):SIGNARURE ERROR

2- then flash the stock recovery for my device :) thanks alot alot in advance really appreciate every one that is trying to help thank u guys
[HTC One X] teky:
you can unlock your bootloader again with the same unlock.bin file you got off the HTCDEV site and using the following command in command prompt: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin ... the signature error could possibly point to having the wrong stock recovery. did you flash the 1.29.401.11 stock recovery?

Edit: could you post the link to where you got that RUU from? I might possibly be able to extract the recovery.img file from it, as I think the 1.29.401.11 recovery might be wrong for you, you might need the 1.29.415.11 recovery to be flashed...
