same problem, just trying to run the test, and I get that "subdirectory or file out already exists error" ... even after re-extracting it to c:\myscript

I searched and found an "out" directory in c:\windows\system32\ ... deleted it, ran the .bat file again... it removes the "out" directory from where I extracted the zip and then just hangs.

I removed all the cls lines, deleted the "out" folder from c"\windows\system32\ again, extracted the script to c:\myscript\ again (since it had deleted "out" again) and it did the same thing... no text ever shows up in the command window.

Is there another way to do this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] efdisastet:
So, I got the original app that this was based on working on my phone, but would really love to get this apk maker working, so that I can spread the poptartcat joy ... hmm, I can't post outside links, but if you search youtube for "pop tart cat android" you'll find what I'm working on.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] efdisastet:
I got one to run!

I made an APK!

I made it with the images that were sized specifically for my Droid, does it matter, I only have the OG Droid and thunderbolt to test on. Would someone be willing to try it out on some other phones?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Works fine here :) (Galaxy s i9000)

Great tool! ...but....

How do I set the size so I can make it work on a tablet?

It only outputs a droid size wallpaper.

Your cat is working on my htc desire (oxygen 2.1.1, android 2.3.4) just fine.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] efdisastet:
Thank you.

I actually got it together and built to my liking, signed it with my own key, and put it up in the market (for FREE, of course! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.custom.lwp.poptartcatlwp ) It just broke 5,000 downloads the other day... hooray for the power of the internet! I hope I thanked all the right people.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] limbu88:
i created an lwp using 84 png images but after i install to my htc desire hd it keeps looping after 49 or 50th image.....it does not show all the animation....i created another lwp using 124 png images but same thing happens after i install it and set it....only plays up to 49 or 50th image.....help !!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] squeeb:
downloaded your poptart cat lwp and it happens with yours as well... is anyone else having this problem??

when i set a wallpaper at big, then set it at small you can still see the big one and it looks jittery? this didnt happen a few months ago, but now it started out of the blue with all the wallpapers i made, even the ones that were already on my phone and didnt do this?????
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] celltimemb:
set the wallpaper to the size you want, then click back then go to the settings again this will fix that issue.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] celltimemb:
hey guys checkout my live wallpapers at www.scenicandroid.com and www.honeycombwallpapers.com <----Yes I have honeycomb live wallpapers I will be posting some free honeycomb live wallpapers in the next few days for honeycomb tablets, one will be a mario 3d flag capture run and the other will be the android bot and honeycomb bee attacking the apple empire world.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] squeeb:
is there any way to prevent it from happining in the first place?? now one of my wallpapers that didnt do it, then started to do it, stopped and now functions properly. i didnt do anything at all????????

confused. thank you :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DrPygameNewb:
By using custom creater I can sell them as well? Or am I force to make them free? Cause I'd like to use this script and make my own original live wallpapers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] celltimemb:
I dont reccomend it since you will be getting a lot of people refunding, its actually quite easy to make your own source code.

you cant use this one anyway because it gets signed with the public key and google dont allow the public keys on the market anymore but Amazon market however accepts public key apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pandik:
My own creation ;)

Hallo there, this is my own creation ;)

Just search in Market for "Skarbi"

Just for test ;)

BTW. It is possible to make wallpaper from .jpg? I tried but no result....

Pandik.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crackmulah:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DrPygameNewb:
How easy is it? I mean what scripts do I need to make one with images? Whenever I find a tutorial about live wallpapers it's only with wireframes and circles.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pandik:
Output file size

Hallo.

Is any way to decrase output file size? Even if i used much smaller .jpg as source images, file size remains same (5.9 MB).

Pandik.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] celltimemb:
right click run.bat and select edit at the bottom change the .png to .jpg at this section, dont change the ph part

if NOT EXIST "%~dp0out\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\n%placeholder%%counter%.jpg" (copy "%~dp0other\ph.PNG" "%~dp0out\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\n%placeholder%%counter%.jpg")

you can also change as .gif too as well
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pandik:
Yea, i modifed this bat ;) But still min output file size is 5.9 MB even if i put small .jpg files :(

BTW. Im looking now on processing system (processing.org) they have alot of nice examples to use.

Pandik.

what the? :]

Hi Daneshm90

you write "I just took his apk, modified it and made it customizable"

IF you don't mind my asking:

would you mind explaining exactly what you mean by this sentence and, if it means what I think it means, what exactly you do to "take an apk, modify it..."

Obviously I, and I'm sure a lot of other people, would be v.grateful.

;):):D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Well from the OP date u can see it was a long time ago, so my memory might be hazy :)

But if i recall, the original developer had made a lwp that played back a few pngs embedded inside the apk as a lwp.

I decompiled it, added support to add more png's, embedded certain unique variables which are easy to find / replace by a txt parser which asks the user (you) for certain parameters. Once replaced and custom images specified, i then packaged all of those into a signed apk ready to install.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darkman408:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TnuC:

Found this yesterday & been making LWP for my A500.. damn the apk gets huge when using the A500s default res but many cudos to all involved this baby is rockin my world.. quick read, 1st run.. woohoo she works..

If anyone remembers a old swf file from '04 called zoomquilt, you can imagine how sweet it looks on a tablet as LWP..

*Oops spoke too soon, cant go as high in res as I would like.. back to the grind..

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crisiscore_08:
i really need help making this. when i run the run.bat file in admin mode i get this in the cmd "a subdirectory or file out already exists." when i run it normally (not in administrator mode) it makes the apk file but when i install it it just force closes and doesnt even show up, and is named differently than what i put in the cmd prompt . Im running windows vista but i cant seem to get it to work at all =\ can someone give me a detailed guy im a noob at this im alot better at making boot animations but live wallpapers just wont work no matter what i try.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ghost010:
how is the support for 2.3.3??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mistahd33:
For some reason the script creates a live wallpaper which is about half the size of the images I'm using (480x800). so the wallpaper which should end up being full screen comes up as a little box about 240x400 in the middle of my screen. Any idea why?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sanexusone:
Can any one please give the correct link to download the script ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pete917:
I cant find the link to download the script. Anyone?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pete917:
I've been playing with this great little app. It's going well but I have a couple of questoins:

(1) I replaced the icon.png file in the placed images folder with an image of my own, but the original still shows after I have compiled my new wallpaper;

(2) Is there a naming convention for the file name etc as if I use too many words it fails to compile correctly.

Many thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pete917:
Is this thread still active?

I've been usng this little app and created a few working test wallpapers.

So, I tried then to create my first good one. I use 62 .png images at 480x800 with the correct hex number, but everytime I try to run as a livewallpaper it has a force close. I have tried reduceing the number of images, first to 20, then to 30 and they work. I thought this app was good for upto 300 images.

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irkkso:
if you are on 2.3.3 you must edit /system/build.prop set dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pete917:
I will give that a go. Is that in the wallpaper creator files?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gmanesiotis:
The default resolution is not 480x800, You have to manually change it to the resolution you want in the settings.

I would love it though if someone could tell me how to make 480x800 the default setting instead of the low resolution it currently has. I tried everything!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irkkso:
you have to be rooted and edit the file within root explorer but keep in mine that it will drain your battery in any case
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pete917:
I still cant make a wallpaper with more than 30 images otherwise I get a force close error.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pete917:
How can the signature be modified so it can be uploaded to the market?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pete917:
Ah, thanks.....

My phone isnt rooted.

So, I guess if we want to share these wallpapers with others (who may not have root), then we have to use 30 images or less?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pete917:
Is it possible to add an "About" tab to the completed wallpaper?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gmanesiotis:
Still no answer on the default resolution settings? There must be a way.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pete917:
I had a quick look and it seems you might be able to achieve what you want in the settings xml file
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gmanesiotis:
I've tried changing the xml and I've had no luck. I feel like something is missing. I've tried even removing the low res item all together and still defaults to it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] user128:
Support only Nexus One?

I have ZTE Blade, livewallaper.apk force close if open.

Sorry, I'm hungarian.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] VGMStudios:
Could someone upload this program the download link is dead. :(

VGM out...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
To clarify wht i meant in the script,

So replace only the images u want, so if ur animation is 20 images, replace n01-n20 with ur own images, but leave the rest of the placeholder images (21-100) in the folder. They're required but won't be used.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Got it. But for future reference, if I'm creating a LWP with 100 images, I would replace all, but if the LWP after that one only has say 50 images what about the placeholders? Sorry for all the questions, I could always use the place holders from your original zip to fill those. Just wondering. :o :confused:

Thanks! Doing a test LWP now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Yea u gotta extract the place holders from the zip. Hmm wht i cud do is, upon executing the script, it checks if there are missing images, and creates placeholders for u ;) So in essence, after u've created a lwp with 100 images, and u want to go back to 50, u can delete the rest of 50 and it would create the other 50 palceholders. I'll try doing it now before i get busy for rest of the day.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Ok so now this is how it works. U place ur images inside the placeimages folder with the naming convention of n01...n10....n100 (all .png) and then u run the script. The rest lets say ur animation is 50 images, the other 50 will be automatically be filled with placeholders at the time of creation.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ultra spikey:
Here's one I made using this .gif (credit goes to C0mpu13rFr34k). I just extracted the images and resized them.

...the only problem I'm seeing with using this tool, is that you can't install more than one LWP that has been created with this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Ok I had my file names n1...n15 vice n01...n15. :o Version 2.1 only has 20 placeholder images, is that supposed to be? :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
I agree but that's where dropbox comes in so handy! :D (still a minor inconvenience but I can live with it)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
No the reason i did that was to make use of the auto-placeholder feature. So u can create up to n100 images and use em, the ones u dont, will b filled with placeholders. As for the package name, i'll try a few things to change them, although its quite difficult to change an apk's package name :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
I made one out of the images in the Bootanimation here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=738645 (All credit goes to h_zee13)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Nice lol.

K so next update will have custom "package names" so u can have multiple custom lwp's ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
Damn you beat me to it...lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Yeah sorry! :o Looks awesome on my N1. :D

Thanks! :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Ok guys so i uploaded v2.4. now it lets u change ur package name, for those who are clueless, its so u can have multiple custom lwp created by this script on ur phone.

I think this is as far as this project can go LOL :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ryan75:
This is pretty sweet - thanks for sharing it. BTW, does anyone of a tool (freeware/open source) that will extract, say 30 seconds of one of my .3gp videos, break it down into .png's to use with this tool?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
I still do this ;) fast-stone is remarkable for renaming/batch processing images. U can set it to n## and it'll auto-rename ur images from n01 to n(w/e) lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
Hey you know what would be nice if you could find a way to use images of bigger resolution....so that the LWP doesn't show up as a static wallpaper
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
this is the one I'm working on. (I had to make the picture smaller to upload)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
That one is nice....i'm trying to find a way to convert .swf files to .gif because i found really nice LWP but they are flash files
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
I can't begin to imagine how hard that would be w/o the source for the app. Im no java guru :( , if someone is would be awesome if they could do it, but this as it is serves the purpose. Seems as though all lwp on market that use a series of images to show the animation have the same implementation (no scrolling). If u do find one however, let me know n i'll see to bring these features to that app ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
yeah that's what I thought also...anyways I'll use this app as much as i can until we find another way to make LWP :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] VGMStudios:

No .apk

Everything runs fine until I look for the apk. There is none. I have tried it with 99 images, 50 images, 12 images...and nothing. Someone please help with this issue. I have been trying really hard to figure out why the apk is not being created and I can't. By the way, I have all the contents in the downloads folder; I don't know if that makes any difference.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] VGMStudios:
I get nothing but FCs on my N1 with CM7. Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to get this to work properly?!?

N/m got it to work. Its not what I was hoping. The image does not scroll over many screens.

which is too bad. Looks like Ill have to learn the harder way to make a LWP.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MaxPatlick:

oh and her phone wont let me edit the file.. says its a system file :(

This is frustrating, I just want to put a stupid nyan cat gif as her livewallpaper.. it works well enough on my phone :(

I am working on the script to run result apks on all of Android platforms and may prepare a program with GUI soon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irkkso:
the new GUI application for custom live wallpaper is ready. (!)

1.Download file and extract folder

What devices will this work on when the finished .apk comes out? Do I need to change the manifest file to get it work on newer devices?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irkkso:
the original code is based on Google open source lwp example so I think all devices from android 2.1. I've tested on my SGS i9000 SGS2 i9100 android from 2.1 to 2.3.4

you do not need to change manifest , but keep in mind that the apk will be signed with test cert.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] leablej:
I have checked both the Java and Framework but I still get no apk file, where does it output the apk? Great work by the way, thanks for throwing this together.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irkkso:
the output file will be created in the same directory, ussualy 2 files XXX-unsigned.apk xxx.apk some times the only unsigned apk , I am working on it and new version will be ready soon. and , please send me the all errors screenshot in PM. Thank you in advance.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chelsea19:
Droid x And here is the apk. If anyone else wants to give it a try feel free to let me know what you think.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irkkso:
to get it working you must use my new GUI LWP builder:
