Thank you for your prompt reply. Now I understand the app. Everything is ok with the battery consumption, I was just wondering about the background process.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Say, how did you find about background processes? Some app for rooted devices? Or something else?
[Android Apps and Games] Meteorman:
My phone is a Realme Gt 2 Pro and is not rooted. I found the process in the system settings and then process manager. Then he showed up. I don't know any more details because I'm setting up my cell phone again and Lwp+ isn't installed.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I see. It's probably something special on the OS you have, because such a thing isn't available on official Android.

Anyway thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Meteorman:
OK no problem

is this app open source?

if not, will it become open source?

if so, wheres the source, i cant find it xd.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
It's not open sourced, but you can make it quite easily using this API for the colors:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/wallpaper/WallpaperService.Engine#onComputeColors()

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/wallpaper/WallpaperService.Engine#notifyColorsChanged()

The drawing itself isn't impressive at all, and I wish I knew how to make it better using a different method that I've found. Here's an open sourced live wallpaper to draw a real video:

I'm using a Pixel 6 on Android 13, build TPB4.220624.005. When I try to set custom Monet colors and set the wallpaper via this app, my phone reverts to using basic colors, instead of wallpaper colors, and the wallpaper colors button becomes unclickable.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Android 13 isn't final, but I've now tried on the emulator and indeed it seems Android is quite buggy.

It seems that it won't do anything because the OS tells it that nothing is the current live wallpaper app.

I've reported about this here:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/239305427

Also published a new version. Please try it out
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I've noticed an issue that causes devices to have the live wallpaper being reset for them, after updating the app or just every now and then.

I work now on fixing this.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I think I've fixed it now. Please update to the latest version (2.27)
[Android Apps and Games] RagibHasin4G:
Can you add a slideshow option, please? It is a great app otherwise, that saved my eyes from bleeding out 😁. Thanks for your continued support.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I should have worked on this in the beginning. Now it got too hard to do it.

I tried once to have a more flexible solution, that uses Tasker, but I failed to even use their sample of how to use it.

I hope one day such a thing would be possible with my spare time (it's a spare time app, like the rest of what I have).
[Android Apps and Games] Natherul:
This is an awesome app, however, randomly my phone seems to forget / reset the wallpaper. Any idea on what could be the issue or do you need any information from me to track it down?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Do you have this on other live wallpaper apps, such as Muzei?

What did you do in the app's settings?

Which device and Android version do you have?

I've heard this occurring for some users, but I could never reproduce it, no matter which device and no matter how long I've waited.
[Android Apps and Games] Natherul:
1. I dont use other live wallpaper apps

2. Imported the wallpaper I had set normally and made sure all colors were set to black and then applied

3. Xiaomi 12 lite with Android 12 (MIUI 13.0.7)

Should note that it took some considerable amount of time (talking weeks here) for me before it happened. Im not sure if it happened on a google app update (since that is when it happened) or if that was just a coincidence. (I dont know why that would cause this though)
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
1. I mean if you tried this on others, and see if it occurs there too.

2. Setting all to black usually won't do anything so the OS might use the default colors instead. This isn't the issue you are talking about though. You say that the OS went back to the default wallpaper, right?

3. I see. Xiaomi often has its own, made-up permissions that aren't official on Android, which can kill apps (see here). Please try to enable/disable all that might cause bad behavior of the app. Maybe it will help.

4. You've said that it might be related to app update. Maybe try to install the previous version of my app, use it as usual and then a new version of it after that. You can find it on APK-mirror:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/androiddeveloperlb/lwp-live-wallpaper-with-customized-colors/

I suggest installing v2.32 , use it and see that it works fine, and then let the Play Store update it (manually or automatically).
[Android Apps and Games] Natherul:
1. Since it took weeks and I dont want a live wallpaper really Im not sure if this will accomplish much :D

2. Yeah it went back to full stock, not even the last I set the wallpaper to

3. I think I already disabled all that and even so should kill it before such a long time if that is the case but Ill double check

4. It was not your app that updated though. Im fairly sure it was only the google app. I have updated other apps fine without this happening. But again I dont think it is the issue but I thought Id mention it since I noticed it.

EDIT: Turns out I had not set all the MIUI permissions, I have now and also noticed the (what I think is base android) setting of "remove permissions and free up space" under unused app was selected, maybe this could have triggered?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
That's an interesting thing to check.
[Android Apps and Games] xdarkzerox:
Not sure on the interval or the 'why', but the switch for the "Set as current live wallpaper" turns off frequently. Using OnePlus 7 Pro w/ Android 12.1, LWP+ v2.34

Under Settings -> Accessibility -> General, is the app supposed to be 'On'? If so, I think that may be part of the issue I'm having. It keeps going to 'Off'.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I didn't add anything that will turn accessibility off.

So, either the app crashes (but I don't see crash reports sadly), or something on the OS or some built-in app keeps resetting it for some reason.

Same goes for being set as a live wallpaper.

Granted, I keep seeing these complaints (which are quite rare) but I never was able to reproduce it, and I don't know yet if it's some devices issues, or my app.

Maybe try to exclude it from various things, and see if it helps?
[Android Apps and Games] xdarkzerox:
I think it maybe have something to do with the device/OS. There's another app I use that uses Accessibility (Fate Grand Automata) which behaves very similarly in how it crashes/breaks. It will work fine for a period of time and then -poof- will just stop working and I'll have to go into the Accessibility to re-enable. Not sure if these apps are fighting each other (I dont know enough about the Android OS to guess) or if the OS itself is somehow having issues.

Oh well, I guess I'll keep trying different things but figured I'd ask directly if you had seen anything like this before. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Please let me know if you find how to overcome this.

Also this might be useful:

Oneplus

Hey Android vendors, don’t kill my app!

Note that I don't have OnePlus device of any kind.
[Android Apps and Games] zxcv34523A:
First of all, thank you so much for this software!

I am having exactly the same issue as you. I am using Oneplus 8T, Android 13 and LWP+ 2.36 and "Set as current live wallpaper" turns off frequently, perhaps every two to three days or so. When that happens my wallpaper reverts back to OnePlus' default wallpaper.

And LWP+ is my only "custom" application, rest of the software is like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram etc. and of course all the crap OnePlus forces on your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] xdarkzerox:
Unfortunately, I never found a solution. I don't think OnePlus devices have enough "knobs" to properly tune via their OS. I'm pretty sure I spend 2 weeks tuning different battery settings but to no avail. It was about time for my phone upgrade, so I got a Pixel 7 Pro and it works flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
So perhaps it's something of OnePlus, that kills some apps sometimes?

Have you guys tried to see if it happens on some other random, uncommon, live-wallpaper apps?

I can prepare an experiment, of a live wallpaper app that does nothing. Shows nothing. The bare minimal.

Would any of you willing to try it out, and tell me if this behavior occurs there too?
[Android Apps and Games] xdarkzerox:
I don't have my old OnePlus device anymore (so I can't participate), and I can't speak for zxcv34523A; however, I can say that other apps that used the Accessibility service would often (just as randomly) crash just like LWP+. For reference, the app was called Fate Grand Automata (FGA). So I don't think its limited to LWP+, its just the 'interesting' way OnePlus' OS handles these services. That's just my guess ^^
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I don't know what I can do.

Accessibility apps should usually stay forever.

Did this occur even if you didn't enable accessibility for my app?

Hi friends,

Been reading a lot on XDA lately. The idea is to flash my tf201, which I just bought for small money, to a more recent rom. A lot of threads with tutorials on xda date from 2011 and 2012 so a lot might be outdated or obsolete. I have reasonable skills like working with windows/linux/command line, but a lot of therms used sound quite new to me.

So my question; does anyone know a good recent tutorial on youtube how to do the job with windows 10? Where can i find the right tools to do this job?

Thanx in advance,

Steve

1st step is to unlock the stock bootloader, the file can be found here; http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF201/UnLock_Device_App_V6.apk

Got the prime unlocked using the [Guide/tutorial] Asus Transformer Prime/TF201 stock to Android 7.1 Nougat on this forum.

Now got stuck on part 4b NVflash.

Have the universal naked drivers installed but as soon as i connect the asus in APX mode, the pc (windows10) does not recognise the asus and says "unknown usb device, request for driver signing failed" instead of an external drive called APX.

Tried installing in Windows device manager, didn't work.

Did the trick with advanced startup settings to disable driver signing, didn't work either.

I tried installing the drivers on a win7 32 and 64 bit laptops. Both times i get error "The INF File You selected does not support this method of installation".

Next i tried on both to install with device manager. Connecting the tab in APX mode gives an "unknown device" as windows notification. When i manually update the driver using install from disk it says: the selected folder does not contain a compatibel driver for your device.

Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] optimummind:
I've tried 5 different USB Type C to Type C cables (3 different Anker, one j5create, one Belkin) & the result is always the same - constant cycle of Mount then Unmount.

HP Spectre 13 (8th gen Core i7) is on the latest version of Windows 10 Home with latest HP & Intel drivers installed.

The GS8+ is the Unlocked 955U1 GS8+ currently running Oreo 8.0.0 Beta 4.

Only method that has worked so far is by using the HooToo USB Type C hub with USB A ports.

I cannot believe I can't just simply connect my phone to my laptop with a Type C cable.

Just for reference, I can connect the GS8+ to my older 2012 HP Pavilion laptop just fine using the Samsung OEM USB A to USB C cable.

Hey Folks,

I've been pulling my hair out for the last few days thinking I've been doing something wrong, but I think I have found the issue: BK Disabler.

I'm on stock, rooted, DQG1, and I used BK to disable nearly every package under its bloatware tab, except anything Google, and maybe one or two things I may use. Either way, when I do, it breaks the Google Play Store, and I get "Error code: -501". Nothing will update, nor install, nor will anything install in F-Droid, or from apks, or anywhere else. When I restore everything in BK, >poof!< everything is back to normal.

Can any of you guys take a look at its list any make any suggestions as to what is causing it? I simply can't wade through 125 or so packages one by one to figure it out, but if it gets narrowed down to a few culprits, I can fiddle with it and see.

Thanks, in advance.

In case you need full stock firmware, you can check my backup thread post #5

Frankly, I have no idea why you can't flash/install RUU when on S-Off, unless the partition is GPE size (you need to resize it back to Sense using full stock firmware, then install twrp to format data (not wipe data but format) before you can install RUU)

Before I couldn't do it because there was a problem with the cache partition. I still cannot install RUU, but since LOS is working I don't need RUU. Now I have only /carrier partition error in TWRP but the system is working so I'm satisfied.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lostcontinent:
My one regret, well two actually, as an Android fanatic, was selling my Nexus 5. Not only did it unlock and root in what seemed like 10 seconds, but the size being small enough for your pocket and a screen that somehow looked massive. I had the logic an even better device would soon be on the horizon. Those being the 5x and 6p, both being a letdown, but the worst Nexus device is still better than anything Samsung releases.

Even though I'm one of the unfortunate Verizon pixel users, this is the second best phone I have owned, and that is from a long list of phones. I'm fine with not having root, but I do miss ROM customization.

Pre emptive apologize just in case I posted this in the wrong place or annoyed anyone with my nostalgic rambling, but I needed this off my chest.

Any former Nexus 5 users care to weigh in?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] scottjal:
I really liked the Nexus 5 but it wasn't perfect. I had GPS trouble and frame cracking issues. One even broke somehow and wouldn't see a SIM anymore. As I get older I really like bigger screens for use without glasses now.

Size and feel in hand was perfect, I love that soft touch plastic like it had, like a lot of blackberrys had. Only other that came close in that department for me was the 3GS.

Was and still is amazing community developer support, which is impressive. Doesn't seem like the pixels are enjoying that.

Just kidding, but to me, that was the epitome of a premium smartphone. I would trade my phone in a second for a flawless N6

....Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I loved it when it dropped, but it did not age well at all.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kboya:
I'm one of the few that was let down by the N5 (and I've posted this before). Yes, it could be unlocked and rooted in minutes (although I'm not sure the Pixel really takes a significantly greater enough time to make an issue out of it), but the phone felt flimsy and poorly made. The design was unspectacular, the IPS screen uninspiring, and the performance underwhelming (let's just not mention the camera.)

At the same time as the N5's release was the best Nexus phone released by Google that wasn't a Nexus... The original Moto X. What's most interesting about that phone is the extent to which its feature set went on to influence and set the agenda for future Nexus and Pixel hardware (dedicated language processing chips) and software in general, and Google Assistant in particular; in contrast, the N5 did nothing of the sort. Had El goog folded the Moto X directly into the Nexus/Pixel programme (the N6 being an entirely wasted opportunity) I'm quite sure the N5 would have only one talking point left for it: the last standard Nexus demonstrating all that was wrong with the programme.
