I have been searching and reading through posts for a few days now, so this post is not for lack of trying.

I am unable to use Titanium Backup. It says I need to have BusyBox, which will not install saying that I do not have "nand" access or something (a bit of a noob here).

I've also tried to backup through ROMManager, but all it does is reset my phone and tells me that it cannot backup, and gives me a long list of things to try. I have done most if not all, to no avail. Help?
[Droid Incredible General] Lexus One:
Thanks, I appreciate the advice on doing this the correct way. I know what my mistake was now, it was the fact that I also restored the system data. :o I'll try this again tonight when I get home...
[Droid Incredible General] partizan81:
If you go into Titanium, there is a button that says "problems", click that and there should be a button that should install busybox for you.
[Droid Incredible General] HarrisonBP:
Thank you, I read the forums, but not the buttons on my screen... stupid. :-(
[Droid Incredible General] IShootPixels:
gmonox is on point. I went through all of this yesterday after getting Froyo. My apps all reinstalled and seem to work just fine with one exception. I had a NexusMod Live wallpaper that wouldn't work. Sad too because it was my favorite because it was Cyanogen inspired and just used the cyan color. Other than that, everything seemed to work fine.
[Droid Incredible General] Lexus One:
MyBackup Pro still has issues under Froyo. The permissions banner will not go away after backing up. I have to reboot my phone to get it to go away. My task killers don't work on this.

Hey guys, can I root this device, if so how, I wanna be able to overclock it and get themes, etc, it's running 2.1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Purpose : Create a live-wallpaper out of a bunch of images

Instructions :

- Download zip

- Extract zip

- Run Run.bat (follow instructions)

- Once done, install the resulting apk

Tip : Pre-attached with the zip comes the "haters gonna hate" animation, so if u want to test it, just Run.bat and enter 14 as the # of images.

Requirements :

- Java in ur environmental path (to check go start -> run -> cmd -> java -jar

Do u see "command not found" ? if so go to java.com and install it, otherwise ur fine.

Capabilities :

- Customizable live wallpaper w/o coding

- Change application name / icon

- Adjust loop invariant to ensure no skipping

- Change app description

- Now u have up to 100 images to use

- Automatically inserts the place-holders

- Change package name

- Apk produced now takes on the package name (easier to identify)

- Option to install the app to ur phone at end of script

- Added java check, it'll tell u if java is in ur path or not

- Now u have up to 300 images to use (thanks olivvv59)

- Added vista compatibility (delete's $.tmp files if they exist)

- Cleaned up the code a bit.

Note : The naming convention of the images are n01.png,n02.png,n03.png..n32...n100.png

Thanks : Goes to the andrew121 who created this link I just took his apk, modified it and made it customizable.

Heres his site : Link
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
once done, where do we find the .apk file?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pbedard:
mytouch slide

cant get ./loop running on my phone
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
U'll find it in the root directory where u extracted the zip. It'll b called repackaged-signed.apk.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Im confused, please clarify ur post.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Just realized i hadn't posted requirements, u need java on ur machine and in ur path.

Ive updated the OP so please use the "check method" and then proceed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
ok let me try again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
Alright so here is a little TEST LWP

First thing I realized is that when when we add a name to the LWP, it never appears anywhere so it's useless....other than that it works great and its really easy

do you think you can make full size LWP with this? like currently its only like a static LWP...any chance to make it move when you change screens?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
thats awesome! why only 49 pngs? I tried more and obviously it didn't work...

*edit nevermind I figured it out
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
dude what did you figure out? Share with us......
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
its in the >public.xml< more pngs can be added with a change here
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Ok, firstly the name changing does work, atleast on my end. The name should change when u go into the live wallpaper picker. Second, the static property is tied to the apk, remember i have not created this app, just modified it for our needs.

Ur on the right path but not that easy, those are just identifiers, u still gotta implement them ;) Dont worry i'll try to make the next version have 100 images, that should be more than enough lol ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
This would be awesome! :D 100 images should suffice! :cool:

Thanks and great stuff! :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Guess wht i just did it ;)

Gonna post it soon, yea 100 should b enough u hungry ppl :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
You have a Twitter account? I need to keep up and you have great stuff (mods) all over the place! :D

Thanks! :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
I do but i barely post lol. its @daneshm if ur interested.

Ugh 100 images are taking long. Just to give u an idea i have to

change stuff like this

from .field public static final n50:I = 0x7f020032 increment it all the way to

.field public static final n100:I = 0x7f020032(diff id as well)

in 3 files :eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
K maybe i missed something....but so far everything else is good oh and yeah 100 images would be great...keep up the good work
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Totally understandable! :cool: (Take your time and much appreciated)

At least post on your mod updates on Twitter if anything at all! :p

Now following! (twitter) :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Going to do a test now. :D

The images in the "placeimages" folder are referred to as placeholder images and must stay there when I add my own images? :confused:

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Hey,

K wht system u on ? xp/vista/7 ???

Also, is this happening with the latest script or u experienced this with previous versions as well ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
As far as I know the latest. Didn't have an issue before. I tried it on my Vista and Win7 machine with the same result. :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Ok so i'll double check the numbers. Does it happen when u use images past 100 or even below 100 ? its wierd though, on that other thread u can see i posted the lwp and none of them loop (white screen) :S
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
I made one using only 20 images. :confused: very strange.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:

hey everyone, i know this might be off subject but, i've been trying to create a livewallpaper from a short video clip that i have, but i cannot find a program to break down the video into frames, so i was wondering if someone could point me to the right direction, or if i can upload the clip, could someone make the livewallpaper from it. thanks in advance
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nicandris:
2-3 programs have been mentioned before in this thread
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] andrew121:
I am glad everyone likes the live wallpaper base and would like everyone to know that an application for the android market with something similar to this is being made. Please remember to visit the site on the front page if you'd like to support our applications thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Seems as though u experience the same errors as i do on my old magic. "Out of space" Try closing other apps before running. Btw, andrew released a cool lwp app Link
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gautch:
I can't seem to get Java to work on my machine. I installed it from java.com, and even ran their test to make sure it was in stalled, but when I run your app it says

"java was not found..."

Then i googled "adding java to path" and "adding java to path in windows 7". Nothing seems to help.

Any one else have tips? Or links to better instructions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] potter1984:
Hhahhahhh guys just use the app on the market LWP Creator lol.

Me 240 images working a treat :p

Smooth no messing about ...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jamesd86:
does this program allow you to make lwp that cover the entire screen and not just one part of the homescreen?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Yup, its pretty sick ;) My only concern for the app not being successful is that people might be concerned of how it affects their sdcard's life (as u know they have limited read/write cycles). Makes me wonder, has anyone tried pointing the app to lets say /cache/mypics ? does it pick it up ?

Edit : No it doesnt seem to :(

No not as of yet, this script is 100% reliant on th app's functionality/limitations.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] andrew121:
I can fix that, though it might confuse people. But will add it anyways.

EDIT: Updated on market, available to use internal memory now :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] myztery:
I followed the instructions and I am only using 15 images, seems like there is a few images worth of white space. Any reason why that would happen?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Recheck ur hex number. Its honestly wierd, there has been users where they get white images and they'd send me the animation and it would work fine here if i enter the exact same numbers and run the script. I honestly dont know :mad:

questions for use on Desire

Hi! Thx for the Great application. Good effort. i tried installing on my Desire with the pix set to 480 x 800 pixels. it works but the pix do not show up as full screen instead theres a black border around it. how to solve it. Another problem i had is the pix jumped from 1 to another very quickly. is there a way to control the time interval when 1 pix jump to another like maybe set a 1 or 2 second time interval before the it jumps to the next pix?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gflam:
I followed the instructions typed a description and name for the app put my images in etc did everything right i got the apk then installed it on my phone and it worked played through once then just showed white for about a second then it went back and looped through my animation and again went white for a second and continued doing this. Also the name of the app came up appname and the description said dscrp.

I don't think i did anything wrong i kept the dimensions of the haters gonna hate one (480x800) they are all png files and named correctly etc i have 34 images and put my hex number in as 22. Am i supposed to count the icon image as well?

Worked pretty nice but i had lots of bugs for me so i went and tried it again and the same thing.

Btw i'm running a 32 bit vista computer and a moto droid running sapphire 1.0

Please help?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gflam:
Bump please help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
I only got 2 recommendations for u :

1. Recheck ur filenames make sure they're n01,n02...n10 and not n1,n2....n010. Check the out/res/drawable-hdpi folder once the script finishes, see if the placeholder images are in the right place.

2. Use the app "Lwp Creator" on market. It's easier ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gflam:
Well I just went and tried it on my moms computer which runs windows xp and it worked flawlessly just won't work on my 32 bit vista computer but whatever she just got a new computer so i'll have to steal her xp one :) Great tool thank you a lot i'll send a donation now but any ideas on getting it to work on a vista 32 bit?

Got a question, I am using this to make a LWP for my Samsung Vibrant. I am creating the test images at 480 x 800 (the screen size of the vibrant) and they are not filling the screen when I set it as the LWP.

I am using 20 images right now just to make it a quick easy test but it just wont fit the damn screen. It comes out 25% smaller than it should. I then tried to increase the image resolution by 25% (600 x 1000) and the LWP came out exactly the same on the screen. Is there something simple I am missing?

Here is the apk I produced if anyone cares to lend me a hand and see if I missed something.

****EDIT****

Nevermind, for some reason it wasn't working yesterday but now the settings are working and I was able to change the size to Big(Default).

Force Close when trying to preview.

Hey, first id like to say the script is amazing. Sadly i seem to have hit alittle snag. when i make a test LWP with the Hatters gonna hate that came with it, it works fine for me on my phone. When i make one with my phone Png files it makes it and signs it and installs it fine, but then when i go to the LWP on the phone to test it out, i get a Force Close error while its trying to load the preview. the LWP contains 89 pngs plus the Icon file. any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance for the help, and once again great work.

phone Samsung Vibrant-rooted stock 2.1 rom

im uploading the LWP to dropbox (its 12 megs and XDA limit is 8megs.) incase anyone might want to look at it and see if i somehow messed up inside the program.

MiaShutdownLWP.apk

Edit:

I believe i got it working, i had the pictures correct but the bit depth was 24bit, i converted them all to 8bit and not only did it lower the apk size from 12 megs to 4.5 megs but it seems to have fixed whatever problem i was having. i still sometimes get the force close error when previewing them, but i just go to settings and back and then it loads it. hope that helps anyone else that might be having the same problem. below is a new link to the reduced bit depth version.

Market requires versionName to be set in AndroidManifest.xml.

when trying to upload to market?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
W/e market complains about is all within AndroidManifest.xml

All you have to do is run the script, once it stops and asks for w/e go inside the out folder and make changes accordingly. Then continue on with the script.

Everytime u run the script the changes are lost unless you modify the backup folder

Look here for reference :

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HanMan5000:
Hi...

First of all thank you but I'm having a problem.

Its not outputting the APK, I don't know why. When I use the images that came with it, it does output the APK and I see before it finishes it says "Signing APK. When I put in my images (29 PNGs) it doesn't get to "Signing APK" it just closes at "Building APK...".

Its really frustrating because I spent a lot of time making 29 PNGs for this thing. I'd really hate to see it not work.

Help please?

EDIT: Nevermind, solved it. For people having the problem, make sure ALL the images are .PNG. I missed one and had it as JPEG.
