Just adb push your modified host file to /system/etc/hosts. No need for update.zip
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] junjlo:
ive already done this doesnt work still have tons of adds
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n0-0ne:
word, I figured it out ;)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n0-0ne:
what I did was install adfree android, wait for it download and error (the phone will reboot itself) put it into recovery and run the following command from adb shell

cp /sdcard/hosts /system/etc

All my ads are gone :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] supagene:
You mind sharing the host file? I'd like to do the same. Now that I can connect as root with 'adb shell' then 'su' after the new Unrevoked^2 root. I'd like to start tweaking with things.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n0-0ne:
just download and install adfree android, it copies the host file to your sdcard.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] junjlo:
i may have an older hosts file than but i just used adb push hosts /system/ect/hosts

tryed cp but get a box with busybox info
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] supagene:
I intalled the app and when I hit download and intall I get java/io.FileNotFoundException:/sdcard/hosts

My guess is that it's not downloading.

Tried it on both WiFi and 3G
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n0-0ne:
ok well here's what was downloaded to my card

https://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=K0JRUGhYT2JQb0t4dnc9PQ

Thats good for 100 downloads.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] supagene:
Found this. xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=664532 do you guys know if the zip file with hosts good enough since I can't seem to get the AdFree app to work correctly? Of is there an apk somewhere for this app and I shouldn't have gotten the one in the app store?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] junjlo:
host installed still doesnt block ever ad using tikl and fring to test
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n0-0ne:
I used the one from the market, it does error but it should copy the hosts file to your SD card (and reboot your phone shortly thereafter).
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] supagene:
What now?

Great...

cat /sdcard/hosts > /system/etc/hosts

write: No space left on device
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n0-0ne:
I've tested both apps and no ads in either.

The one thing I did different that I didn't post was in recovery under partitions I mounted both system and sdcard. Try that and copy the file over.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] supagene:
Thanks!!

So I downloaded the hosts file, booted in recovery, mounted both /system and /sdcard and then 'adb shell' and 'su' and then 'cd /system/etc' and then 'cat /sdcard/hosts > hosts' and it seemed to have worked.

I go to fring and it displays 'Web page not available', not what I'd like to see but it's better than those retarded ads that I keep clicking on by accident.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] j1000:
can someone post step by step how to get adfree working I installed the one from the market and let it error and reboot then i entered into clockworkmod recovery now what? do i need to mount system and sd how do i enter into adb shell and change host file. thanks in advance for any help.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n0-0ne:
Glad it worked out, not sure why your getting page not available, I just get a blank box at the top of my contacts list, other apps show the same as well, a blank box where the ad used to be.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n0-0ne:
Edited OP.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] j1000:
thanks for the quick response everything is good until step 8. I know i sound stupid but i learning fast you say enter adb shell. the way i think you do this is type

1. cd\

2. cd sdk

3. cd tools

4. adb shell

when i do this i get error device not found

can you help from there. thanks

27-JAN-2011: These

do not

work with Gingerbread and I can't fix this for you sorry.

All credit goes to persiansown for the initial Nexus release in this thread.

Confirmed as working for non-rooted users

These are not Nexus One specific

I've tweaked the files a bit and they should install on a non-rooted phone now, all of the libraries are written to /data instead of /system. This makes the apks inefficient, the largish library is installed with every wallpaper.

It's entirely up to you of course and no, I can't do anything about the performance (but it's no different than the port for root users)...

Just install like any other app.

Note to root users: you're better off using the original version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flybyme:
Thanks for this. Appreciate it. seems to work fine
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
Works great for me also...but lags the sh*t out of my phone..so uninstalling

BTW Oceanwave is really nice
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] supasye:
thanks for this
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] supasye:
delete post please... the shame..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nexom:
I'm on froyo FRF72 stock rom keep getting force close whenever I open the wallpapers any ideas?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
No, I'd need a logcat... can you even do that on a non-rooted phone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] netmen8888:
:D thank !! Very Good
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flybyme:
yes...lol

im on frf72. no fc here. wondering why the dandelions lwp needs extended permissions...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
lol back - I don't even know what "Extended Permissions" is any more... my android paradigm has completely shifted to su access everywhere...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] th3gh05t:
So I can just place these apks in a folder on my sdcard, and install them with Astro?

I have an EVO 4G, Fresh Evo 0.2..I have not fully rooted.

Answered own question: Yes..you can do this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fiskadoro:
Brilliant. So kind of you to do this. Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] archboy69:
Yeah, you can just put on the root of your SD and install with Astro.

It works for N1 2.2 Froyo FR83 (unrooted) but even on the N1 it lags the phone quite a bit. I do like the dandelion one though. Maybe someone can optimize it for the other phones.

Thanks for the wallpaper though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] th3gh05t:
How would the "uninstalltion" work? Settings > Manage Apps?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] archboy69:
Yes, you can uninstall like every app if you go to

Settings/applications/manage app...find the app and hit uninstall.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] th3gh05t:
Sweet! This is awesome! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] palomosan:
They're nice but got to agree bugging my Dinc like crazy, thanks anyways.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flybyme:
Haha it wants to read my contact data. Don't know why a wallpaper would need that
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Oh, that stuff, You're more vigilant than me!

Promise I didn't put a back door in there! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Awesome!! Will try it out soon.

Also does that mean it's possible to do the same thing with the HTC Sense live wallpaper as well?? Would really really love a non-root ripped version of that.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Should be possible... has nobody done that?

If not, I'll have a look at it.

Edit: Holy ****, they've been downloaded nearly 1000 times each! Did this hit another forum or something? :eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Well, it's an awesome thing you've done, not surprised that people are flocking here to get the wallpapers.

Anyway according to here, it doesn't seem that anyone did a non-root port of the HTC wallpaper... but there seems to be more library files than the samsung ones..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wonsanim:
Thanks downloading now for my nexus:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] matrix2004:
Anyone have the system dump? I just need the Facebook app. I heard its better then the Droid's app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] joeyweaver:
I installed Aurora on a non-rooted N1. It took up too much space though, so I uninstalled, but it seems like I'm still missing a lot of old space. Does it leave any files when I uninstall that I need to go in and delete manually?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] whitlack:
Thaaaank You so much!

Great Job!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
No. They are just like any app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] slagg3r:
Wont let me download to my phone. And I don't have a computer. Motorola Droid non root. Any help would be great
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Try a different browser that allows apk downloads... perhaps Dolphin HD Browser...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crimson75:
Thank you very much, i'll try on my Desire soon
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
Work great on my INC, just wish it didn't have the additional name after the name of the wallpaper.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
;)

Then you have to do it yourself...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kissmei'mirish:
I found this on Android Central...thanks! Worked perfect for me in the D Inc
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BHacker:
Sorry guys this dosent work on desire. Is it any way to make this to work?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] phillyboi6829:
and a gain xda and there members amaze me. your the man tnaks :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deskmat81:
Ocean wave is really beautiful but it makes my Desire unusable, is it the same also with the other wallpapers?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
See the post above this one. They do work on the Desire.

They seem to perform just fine on an oc'd Nexus.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] htcmagic:
djmcnz , thanks very much for these. Good work. They are perfect on Nexus+Froyo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctenggar:
thx for the post. works fine on droid incredible non-rooted.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
lmao samsung may have added some features and disabled it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pkd:
Thanks, work perfectly well on acer liquid with Baptista 1.9.2 rom.

No lag at all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rose4uKY:
So these do work on the EVO? My phone is not rooted. I want to try them. So I can just put the files on my SD Card using Astro and install from there correct? I think that is what I read. Thanks,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] immiMIK:
Available on Android Market search for "mylifeisandroid" :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rose4uKY:
Thanks, I got them all to try! I like the live wallpapers even though they eat up the battery..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] a65lopez:
thanks for this!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Drethis:
Aurora is such a great LWP! It kind of slows down my Nexus One/Froyo but I can live with it.

And plans on updating/customizing it? I think these wallpapers can be so much more than they are now! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotaryRx7:
Works great. Thank you very much.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jacobjuhhh:
I'm looking for the luminescence wallpaper from the Samsung Galaxy S for my N1

Anyone spotted that one allready ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bluewave53:
Bump what he said!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Where is it? I'll see what I can do.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] neok44:
link to the luminesesnse LWP files:

apk: http://www.mediafire.com/?023wgvpauee929p

odex: http://www.mediafire.com/?78l3am7ht7vp11e

taken right from the dump. will not install on CM5.08 on N1 so they'll need to be modded a bit.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DameonAndMeagan:
Are you going to mod the Luminescence wallpaper to run on a non rooted N1??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Luminescence for non-root users added to the first post.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chosen_on184:
So ocean waves run smooth as butter on the n1 ..rooted with cyan 5.0.8 however a bug i noticed if you turn the phone into landscape mode .. the wallpaer shrinks to a little box ..so basically the screen as all black and in the center you see the LWP ..

If you then turn the phone right side up the wallpaper is cut in half so only the top half of the screen has it and the rest of the screen is black ..

Anyone else notice that or am i caught in " Inception " ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Babble0n:
Jen over at goodandevo.net did a write up and linked to them, possibly some other cross-posts too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwnst*r:
I love you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] morpheus6d9:
thanks installed on my evo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CDub_EVO:
Great LWPs. As you can tell, I got an EVO and Lumi really lags it down but the others are great.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Riztnack:
Is there any way to get the Nexus one live wallpaper on the droid X??

http://images.dailymobile.se/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Nexus-One-Live-Wallpapers.jpg
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Nexus Mod on market? And I think there are others?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Riztnack:
I was looking for a direct .apk like ones that are posted here, I dont care to much for a moded version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ramin1039:
Work FINE

Thank's it works fine on my Desire with android 2.1 (not rooted):D:D:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] slinky317:
Does anyone have the APK for the Grass Live Wallpaper found specifically on the Vibrant? It's pretty much my favorite one, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a part of this release. Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DethUnlimited:
Thanks... btw is Luminescence a new LWP? never seen it b4

All work great, well ocean waves is a little slow
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sinten:
can anyone make anipet koi livewallpaper (on android maket) ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] amdivoff:
not on EVO

wont install on EVO.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] morpheus6d9:
how are you trying to install ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] adrianx26:
Thanks ... work on my Desire (2.1 android) very nice.

The Dandelion is visible a bit slow... but work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HighSnobility:
Is it just me or are these wallpapers a bit laggy? I saw a video on YouTube with a N1 running the Aurora wallpaper and it looked smooth as butter but on my Desire it lags a little bit :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
They're not optimised for the Desire/Nexus GPU so they do lag a little... I'm sure I could engineer a video however that made them look smooth.

Having said that, the lag is only minor and when you move between screens.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HighSnobility:
Okay cool, thanks for the live wallpapers keep it up :D.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] b00sted:
you able to make one for the gass one from the vibrant?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
If you can point me to a copy of it I probably can...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] b00sted:
the dump that has it is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725903

I jsut dont know what I am lookin for in there :P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I'm not downloading a 175MB file to find out for you... :)

And I'm not sure what LWP you're talking about... you'd also need to point me to an example.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Phenomenon7:
Thank you for theise wallpaper files. Particularly the "Ocean Waves" file. I've always thought it was georgeous and now I have it on my Evo.

If it lags your phone or causes apps to lift out of place just restart your phone and it will be fine. . . at least for me it was.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] johnnie93:
To bad dude because if you could solve the Lag issue i would of donated for you..:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] matt4200:
Thanks for these been looking for alternative lwp's and I haven't found any besides a few of the sense ones and nexus that were passable untill now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vladimirtm:
PLEASE: where i can get the nexus live wallpaper original,not revamped,for droid x? thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] m5james:
I've tried installing the Ocean Waves LWP on my rooted FROYO Moment, and while it shows the icon and image in the LWP list, when I click it, the screen says that it's "Loading live wallpaper..." but the background stays black and it never loads.

I was particularily looking for the Autumn LWP with the water pond, leaves moving around and the water rippling when the screen is touched.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jville95:
I just added these to my Moto Droid! Thx!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tat2me2:
Will these live wallpapers work on the HTC Aria?

Thanks,

tat
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Umm... try them and let us know?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tat2me2:
Installed the zip through recovery, when I select one of them, I just get a black screen on my HTC Aria.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
What zip? There's none in this thread...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tat2me2:
I tried a zip from another forum, but also installed the individual apk's in first post, no luck
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ulukita:
Thanks

Just installed Ocean Wave and Blue Sea lw on my unrooted Nexus 1 . Both work flawlessly. Good job!:cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JerryN2U:
Thanks. Works on a non-rooted Evo on 2.2.

Dandelion Wallpaper

I download it, but it says there is no file to open this. Is there something I haven't done that will allow my phone to download it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KingNemesis:
I got a few to Work on the Eris Just need to know how to uninstall the ones that dont work
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BUTCHER0123:
Tested they work on Desire.Just to check the frames are lower then on Galaxy S or they have been modified to match Desire's CPU?

Update:

=============

Checked face to face with Galaxy S and observed that the below live wallpapers installed on Desire ,I mean :

TAT-LWP-Mod-Aurora.apk

TAT-LWP-Mod-BlueSea.apk

TAT-LWP-Mod-Dandelion.apk

TAT-LWP-Mod-OceanWave.apk

TAT-LWP-Mod-Luminescence.apk

are indeed slower in movement then the ones on Galaxy.

The strange fact is that the default ones have the same movement speed on both devices.I don't think that the slowness on Desire is given by the lack of GPU .I think it's a matter of optimization .Is there any way/site where I can learn how to develop /port these applications to match Desire?Most likely as far as my limited knowledge can go this is a matter of values and strings in application source code.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] theXeffect:
the screen is very small on landscape mode with ocean wave on g2...how do u fix that...

thank you!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SouthernSaltine:
No luck on the Droid X. Really would like the ocean wave..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rybgood:
Yes, same on the G2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JPaddler:
I tried installing the Ocean Waves on the Droid X 2.2 with no luck... looks like a really bad (not clear) background of the ocean floor, with no water effects.

I would REALLY like to find a way to make this work
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lowpeezy:
awesome..been looking for these
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mistermartian:
Any reason why the attachments wont download on my Droid 2?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
Galaxy Wallpaper

Any chance you can extract 'Galaxy' as an .apk?:confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nycjv321:
awesome!

cool!!!

They work great on my phone no lag at all lol :D but the dandelion wallpaper asks for permission to read my contacts and network connectivity any specific reason why?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] freezeind:
Just installed Aurora on my non-rooted 2.1 device, thanks for creating these apk's.

It would totally rock if you could do the same for the HTC Sense live wallpaper. Have you had the time to take a look at it?

edit:

I've tried creating the package for the Sense live wallpaper myself:

- I downloaded the zip-file from http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/647837/

- Extracted the .apk

- Extracted the .so files and inserted them into the .apk in the folder /lib/armeabi

- Resigned the apk

The package installs and the live wallpaper shows in the list, but upon selection it gives a force close message.

Logs show me the following:

The file libmode10.so is however in the /lib/armeabi folder within the apk, so I'm drawing a blank. Maybe you know how to fix this? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Does the lib file exist in /data/data/... after installing the apk?

Try file permissions, set them to 777 on the .so file and its dir.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] freezeind:
Nope the .so files arent there after install.

You mean I should chmod the files in the .apk or the /data/data folder?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
This is the problem I had with the Sense LWP, it seems to want to assume it's installed on the system partition and doesn't write the library.

I've not tried this but you could try manually putting the .so file in the correct /data/data/xxx.xxx.xxx/lb/ folder and chmodding it (and the folder) to 777 although this won't allow for automatic installs.

IIRC the apk does work if installed on /data/ if the library is in /system/lib/ but you need root access to put it there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] freezeind:
Yesterday evening I wasn't able to chmod anything to 777. On Ubuntu I somehow could only change the first permission octet.

You mean the Samsung LWP? Or have you tried porting the Sense LWP yourself?

The Samsung LWP's in this thread are using a seemingly identical method, but they do work eventhough no files are in the /data/data folder after installation (I haven't checked if they are there while it's running).

No root unfortunately. Maybe I should just get root and make my life easier. :P

edit: And that's exactly what I did. Not going to look into this any further because it works now for me :) thanks for your suggestions!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JaylanPHNX:
I have to thank you a ton. This loaded great on my myTouch4G and works perfectly. Ocean Waves is one of the prettiest live wallpapers around.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stevemoffler:
Same. Almost every other one works that I've tried but ocean waves :( that's the one I want the most!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bruiser101:
Thanks heaps mate! Been looking all over for the Ocean Waves one. Works fine, no lag.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SPITxFIRE:
Hi! Thanksa lot! I have a Galaxy S but not the one with the Luminescence! been looking for it for a long time but I have one of those Galaxy S that can't enter recovery mode therefore those live wallpaper that need rooted to be install is a no go for me. Thank you very much for making this! Really love the Luminesence live wallpaper!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
To you any everybody else that has taken the time to post thanks:

No problem, glad they're appreciated! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] EErez:
do you have access to the continuum live wallpaper(s)? seams from the hands on videos that it got its own live wallpaper too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
No... but if somebody can point me to a rom I can have a look.

hmmm... funny story really - the live wallpaper option does not show up when i try to select a different background. feedback? - phone is already a galaxy s
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PDY05:
nevermind i just fixed it lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GrowingViolet:
Thank you so much for putting these together! It's a lovely pack and I appreciate the effort you put in to bringing it to us.

I am running them on a Droid X with the next-to-latest update and they all work, except for Ocean Wave. As others have described, it's just a squished picture of the ocean floor with no animation. I wonder why? It's a shame that one doesn't work.

The others just are a bit slower than I saw them run on the Galaxy S, but are otherwise perfect!

Thanks again. :)

P.S.

I tried these out on a regular Droid as well and they worked even better. All of them appeared perfectly; one or two were perhaps a tiny bit slow but nothing horrible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] blue2season:
Thanks a lot, I look for them for a long time and finally find them:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sccpmusc26:
Having problems getting Luminescence to work on the NExus S... worked fine on my N1, but now all I get are force closes... any suggestions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
No sorry but a theory is that the Gingerbread libraries are incompatible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sccpmusc26:
Could be a possibility... I'm unable to get the TAT wallpapers from the market to work also. They force close as well. All other live wallpapers I have downloaded work though.
