Precisely what I had to do and the reason I signed up for the forums here. Downloaded the latest attachment, installed it using Astro and am loving it. Great job to the OP!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] raziel26:
Just did that and is working now thanks for the help!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] neonixxx:
This is really fine work. :) It runs very smoothly, much more so than I would have expected! Running at 15FPS and it doesn't lag my home screens (Tag Home for 2.1) at all. Bear in mind, I didn't try loading up a ton of apps to see how that would affect it, but this is still really cool. Just one more awesome conversation starter when I'm out with people :D Thanks pikipirs!

.apx download tip

For those having trouble downloading this .apx file to their device (i.e. a stock Droid 2.1 like myself): the default Android browser does not allow the user to download an .apx file, hence you subsequently won't be able to open it.

To get around this, you must either download the file in an alternate Android browser (I used Dolphin browser) or import the file via USB from another computer that can download the file. Then, just make sure you allow to install apps from SD card, and open the .apx file from a file manager (such as Astro) to install.

Hope this helps.

Can't wait to try it out! But I can't seem to download from my Moto Droid.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kalala:
I'm trying this on an Eris running 2.1. I use Astro file manager and it installed it fine. I can't find it in my list of programs, though. How do I enable the wallpaper? It won't show up even when I hit "Menu" on my Home screen to select the default wallpapers.

If G1s and MT3s are running it, I don't see why an Eris can't.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sgporeboy:
awesome! Thank you! :) Woohoo!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DerSeppel:
Thats awesome!

I was working on the same idea, since there's been some kind of request thread for this.

Great Work! =)

Although Engadget and XDA and no strangers to each other, congratulations for making something so cool that even they were impressed by it and had it write an article (I haven't seen many non-hack related XDA posts on there!).

I hope it gets you even more donations and I'm not sure who you are using for ads (I assume Google), but you need to not be afraid to pimpslap them a message as you are likely losing ad revenue atm and it's best to strike when the iron is hot!! Although I think this will remain popular for a while, esp. if resource use could be cut (I actually helped program physics engines for OpenGL and OpenGL ES [iPhone OS 2 and 3] but am an Android n00b at this point [still going through all of the how-tos/info pages]). Keep up the great work!

Will it work on Mytouch Slide 2.1?

Hey can't seem to get it running on the slide running 2.1. Does ot work for it or does the device need to be rooted?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dj06mc82:
Can't seem to get this to work on a Samsung Moment with 2.1, any ideas why? It shows up unknown when I download 2b.apk link, and it doesn't show up in the Market Place.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Olivier34:
The QRCode on the first post doesn't works. It links to pname:com.ccpcreations.android.MarioLiveWallpaprer (and not Wallpaper I guess).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Olivier34:
In fact, it is not available on the Market in my Nexus One in France. I don't understand why.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] [RiS]:
It's also unavailable on my N1 in Spain.

Anyway, it's a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally cool wallpaper.

Congrats!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] squaredd:
Runs perfect on Desire.

Thx for this great work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] goutamram:
Tooo Good .. :-) works like a gem on samsung spica.. :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I misspelled the package name of the original app. Have only seen it now, lol.

MarioLiveWallpaprer is then the correct name, I guess.

Yeah, the market is a strange beast. As far as I know, I've enabled the wallpaper to show in all countries, the APK security is turned off, and the app settings are set to make Android 2.1 the lowest candidate.

The app is the first in Top free apps in the market, if you go to Apps->Themes. If it's not there, it doesn't show on your device.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] G33KN3RDSTUFF:
Yeah it doesn't look to be in the market. The only way I was able to download was by downloading from my computer or using the link in the first page to download. Again I've got a mytouch slide running 2.1 and it isn't working for me. I'm assuming it may need to be rooted since the stock mytouch slide doesn't support live wallpapers and is also running Sense UI. Still wish there were a way though to make it run :((
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Yeah, that might be it. The app is marked as being a live wallpaper, and I read somewhere on google's dev sites that such an app doesn't show on phones that don't support live wallpapers. Since mytouch doesn't officially support them...

Not available in the Wallpapers section of Personalize. Cannot add as a widget to Home. How do I actually activate it? Please help :(

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dbro85:
I had troubles too...

Hey guys, I had the same problems, and I don't know too much about the intricacies of downloading non-approved programs, but I'm not a tech ****/snob like some of these thumbers:

I downloaded APK Manager from the app store

Then I copied the link of the front page of the thread into an Opera browser (like they said, not the stock browser)

Then I clicked on the attachment itself, and chose to open it with the APK Manager

Finally, on the home page, I selected Wallpapers from the menu, live wallpapers and chose it!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] D_Toma:
Ok so I downloaded the apk and when I try to install it it says there is no program available to open this file. What do I need
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Algorath:
This is awesome but I cannot seem to get it working on my phone. I have an HTC Legend w/ 2.1 and after I download and install it, it does not show in wallpapers or anywhere at all actually that I can find on my phone....any ideas?

Cheers!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gangzai:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bijixda:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gnomecrunch:
Having trouble with getting this awesome app. It says it that its not in the market. After that I tried the .APK file and when I try to download it it says "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone. I do have APK manager on my phone which is working on 2.1 (eclair, Moto Droid).

Any help would be sweet. Really looking forward to having this awesomeness on my phone.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sha luminati:
Yup... I'm having the same problem on my sisters phone. I really want to see this in action. Great job!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
To all of you having problems, do this:

download AndroZip from the market. It's a file browser app

download the latest APK from the first page of this thread, do it with your PC. Don't download the APK with your phone! the phone's default browser rejects APK files

transfer the APK to the phone's SD card

on the phone, go to Settings -> Applications -> check "Unknown sources"

launch AndroZip, search for the APK on the sd card, and select it. You should be offered to install the live wallpaper

And oh yeah, it would reeeealy help if all of you actually told what phones you have.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] norazi:
Possibly have an AI slider to make mario dumber? Ie die more often and reduce cpu/battery usage?.. Another suggestion would be a dark tint option so that icons and widgets can be seen clearer on top
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Making Mario dumber is not as easy as sliding a slider. To make it more dark, you can disable course background via the Live wallpaper's settings.

..........

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] liveiris:
Thanks - I downloaded opera and followed your instructions and it is now on my droid!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eco_was_taken:
I've never had trouble downloading APKs using the phone's default browser. I think whatever is causing it to not show up in the market could be what is causing it to not work with the default browser. I have no idea what that could be though since it can install fine after copying it to your phone using other means. Perhaps its a bug in Android itself.

It does seem like it's mostly us Motorola Droid users that are having trouble.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ryanclemson:
I won't suggest any improvements to this live wallpaper, because it is absolutely perfect. I'm running it on my myTouch and everytime I go to unlock the screen I get a big smile on my face. Fantastic work!!!!! :D

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lieu10ant:
to make this epic, allow us to control mario from now on, whenever we tap an area on the screen, he jumps. just make him go to the right automatically, and we just have to time the jumps perfectly. that way, we'll ALL become mario pro's.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] LizzEmm:
I posted a reply before. Maybe either you (before you leave) or someone else can help me. This live wallpaper seems really awesome and I'd love to get this working, but I am very new to this site.

I have a Droid Eris. I followed the instructions and installed the app. How do I get it to work? Are there certain specifications I need that the Eris doesn't have? Can Eris even support live wallpaper? I'm sorry if these are stupid questions, I just came across this app on YouTube and thought it was really awesome and wanted it on my phone.

Any help would be appreciated. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I don't think Eris officially supports Live wallpapers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] LizzEmm:
I guess don't have the option to set a live wallpaper. ): Okay, thanks for your help. :)

Odex vs Deodex

Theres plenty of debate over what is faster/better to use, im not going to take sides in this one. This is just information about what the differences in the two are, try for yourself.

Deodex basically takes the odex file and stuffs it into the apk as a classes.dex. First boot it dissembles the file into /dalvik-cache (i believe). Now there is basically 2 copies of the odex, one in the apk one in cache. This makes it "portable". This allows modders to work on the apks & easily change stuff. If you want themes or stuff like lockscreen fixes you MUST use Deodex.

Odex is how things come stock. It takes up less room but making modifications or taking apks from other roms is hard. You cannot use themes with this version!! To see odex in dcupdater you must go to menu -> configuration -> rom update settings -> display all roms & display experimental roms. Its marked experimental to avoid confusion because themes in dcupdater will not work with it.

Odex - 374 MB free after fresh wipe without setting sync accts up

Deodex - 329 MB free after fresh wipe without setting sync accts up

I use deodex because I like to theme my Hero and EVO. There are some great themers out and it just adds another benfit of "rooting"
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
On my AT&T Tilt, once you had installed HARDSPL, you could simply run RUU's which were packaged simply as EXE files on your PC and boom ... new ROM.

For those of us who have rooted and run unrEVOked(2) to get us the custom recovery, can someone please explain generally how a new ROM would get flashed.

<edit> tcberg2010 posted a wonderful analysis in a thread with a heading which will guarantee no one reads it... this is what tcberg2010 said:

Download one of the roms from here. http://inc.sodpit.com/. They are mostly stable might get a few random reboots.

Steps:

1. Download Rom of your choice, unrevolved and JagerRomSense are the 2 newest right now.

2. Copy and Paste onto sdcard. Make sure it is not in any directory's of SD card, just on the sdcard.

3. Verify it's there using Astro or some other File Manager.

4. Run Titanium Backup if you haven't already. (If you don't have it, get it, it's must have for root users.

a. Select Menu, Batch, Backup user apps.

b. let it run, this will take some time.

5. When that's done use Rom Manager to reboot into recovery.

6. Do "Wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"

7. Select install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, then select whatever rom you downloaded.

8. When that's done reboot your phone, once your done setting up, download titanium backup, set that up.

9. Select Menu, Batch, Restore User apps.

After that's done you'll have all your apps that you had before, data included, with a fresh new rom to try out. Hope this helps!!
[Droid Incredible General] Honestly77:
Wipe, Put rom on the root on your sdcard, then re-name the rom update.zip or leave it, go into recovery, flash update.zip, reboot. Very simple.
[Droid Incredible General] c1rcaa:
All you need to do to flash a custom ROM is:

1. You CAN use ROM Manager to flash one by going to Install ROM through SD Card.

2. You can place the .zip file onto your SD Card (it can be named anything) and then go to Install .Zip from SD Card in the Custom Recovery and select Choose File. This will allow you to browse through the files and select the one you want.

Hope this helps.
[Droid Incredible General] yojoe600:
its easy... Wipe data....then put on SD card search for it with rom manager or with the custom recovery .. and installl its easier than u think i did for the first time ever yesterday no problem
[Droid Incredible General] DobbsianYeti:
So far I have used update.zip files from the sd card... you can either flash this from Rom Manager or use Clockwork Recovery to flash update from sd card.

In clockwork you select install from sd card- then navigate to where the update is saved on the card and select the .zip you want to install.

In Rom Manager just select the option "Install ROM from SD card" - all you do is direct the app to the .zip you want to install and it takes off from there.

Just remember to backup first.

eezy peezy...

New ROMs stick- updating recovery does not...
[Droid Incredible General] j1000:
Before we change roms and wipe is there a way to backup text messages and restore them after the new rom is installed.

[Droid Incredible General] yojoe600:
sms backup in the market
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
???

I thought it was a super bad idea to try to restore data, am I in error?

I thought one would either use MYBACKUPPRO or TITANIUMBACKUP to take only APPS + App Data; but NOT to backup data itself to be restored on a different rom.
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
All SMS Backup restores is your txt messages, used it on my wives phone and had no adverse affects. I see everyone say flash update.zip, you may already know this, but the recovery that we use does not require us to change to name to update.zip, you can flash any zip, just know what the name is and flash it.

I would recommend un-installing Eclipse and any Android SDK stuff and start from scratch re-installing everything.
