Would anyone out there have the test version of flyscreen? I'm dying to try it out!
Damn, I thought you were saying you HAD the apk.
I signed up, but haven't received anything yet.
I have it but it wont work fully unless they sent it to I have been trying.

What does work?
wouldn't flyscreen KILL the g1 battery?
Well the lockscreen it self works but widgets cant be added since a account cant be created which is needed but you can run it as normal.

If you have the newest version then I would be very happy if you could share it.
If you want flyscreen to work it's easy. Loan a Nokia with Symbian. Download and sign up as a new user with the Nokia. Use that username and password with the Android version.

The copy I have found works with the widgets. What I did was went to the flyscreen website, signed up to be on the beta test and then installed the flyscreen.apk I found online. Then I used my phone number and password that I specified to use for the beta and it loaded up with no problem for me. Had a few force closes here and there but other than that I enjoyed it.
Here is the link if you would like it - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1E0F7S85. I hosted it at megaupload because that is one of the ones that I typically use to host my various files.
Enjoy
Thanks for sharing. What version is this of flyscreen?
Worked for me!
Where is this signup link I dont see it on the site?

beta:
here is me running a mod'd flyscreen to have a custom wallpaper
http://wootroot.com/blog/?p=52
OK going to bed, wanted to leave an update.
I have them not crashing. Im not saying I have them working, they are just not crashing the phone now.
jcase
jcase are you on rooted 2.1 or leak 2.1?
Both but wall papers im working on rooted.
What are you using to get them working launcher2?
http://androidmobileos.com/?p=12520
More coming later.
Can you make a update package so we can install this right from the recovery menu?
Binny,
hit me up on irc tonight, ill get you going.
No update.zip will be coming for this as far as I am concerned.
It will be part of a new rom, hopefully minus HTC addons.

jcase,
I have the 2.1 leak v2 and I've been tinkering with the live wallpaper issue. It seemed like I came really close, so I thought I'd share my findings and maybe an actual dev like yourself could use it in your endeavor.
First, I downloaded and installed the "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk" from this site:
favicon.greaky.com/files
Next, I downloaded and installed the "LiveWallpapers.apk" from this site:
megaupload.com/?d=RG6KFWTB
Finally, I installed Helix Launcher from the Market.
Everything seemed as if it was going to work. Long press on the home screen, choose wallpapers, then Live wallpapers, which brings me to the list of live wallpapers currently available. Then I hit a wall:
"The application Live Wallpaper Picker (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Well, hope this helps. If you have any other ideas you'd like me to try, I'm up for it (as long as I don't brick my Eris of course )

We've decided that live wallpapers just won't work correctly on our phone... some of them that is.
We've had non-OpenGL-based live wallpapers working without a hitch for some time now. The OGL ones crash when the phone sleeps when not plugged in. This is something that will most likely need some rewriting of kernel/lib files in order to fix.
just checked the dates on this thread...retracting my post

Ok, from my small amount of understanding of programming, I take it that the non-OpenGL-based live wallpapers work basically because of the way the application is programmed. And that programming just won't mesh with our phones OS programming. Correct me if I am wrong.
Also, could you direct me to some of those live wallpapers? I'd like to check them out.
Again, if I can help in any way, be a guinea pig of sorts, just let me know.
Thanks helping me understand a little more. And I apologize if I sound completely uneducated about some of these topics, just trying to learn and help out if I can.

In another thread jcase did say that live wallpapers can work on 2.1 leak with a bit of tinkering. He has the files and such to help you out. So if you can contact him you should get all that you need to make them work.
Just tried this on my eris and got the same error.
We fixed openGL last night, check dev forum for patch.
I know that we can't have live wallpapers and sense ui running at the same time. I'm also aware the we need root. But I just found out that if you install slide screen, you are promoted to choose which home app is default (sense, stock android home, and slide screen). If we choose the stock one, would it be possible to get live wallpapers working if the devs do some tinkering? Or do we still need the permissions only root can give us?

You still need root to install them. But you did find a nice way to disable Sense if you desire.
I still believe there is a way to do it, I just don't have the time to tinker. If you have an android programmer that wants to do it, have them contact me and I will drop the details, and the files needed to get it done.
That would be great, that's the only reason I wanted root.
Ha, thanks jadesdan. sorry jcase, but I don't know of any android programmers and I myself can't be of any use. Maybe someone who knows what to do will stumble across this thread and volunteer.
I bought one from the market, but I dont know if they work on the slide and if so, how do I apply
i dont think ther is a way to select live wallpapers i tried it the other day with a free one and it wouldnt let me select iton the n1 there is a tab that specifally lets you choose a live wallpaper. i think we will have to wait for a cooked rom or some one to pull a live wallpaper apk so that we can run them
I believe live wallpaper does NOT work on the slide.
no live wallpapers
I read somewhere that because this phone only has 600mhz the prosseser isnt fast enough to support it ... but for normal apps u can throw on whatever u want and the phone stays strong .......but i love this phone
Live wallpapers aren't compatible for this phone
Im so glad this phone DOES NOT support live wallpapers. No need for them

im pretty sure if the g1 can run live wallpaper the slide can it just hasn't been figured out yet this will likely come possible when root is established.
some of the live wallpapers were also running on the TP2 (dual boot with android).
if the moto cliq can run live wallpapers i think we can too heres a vid of the cliq keep in my i think its been sped up
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/06/2-1-without-blur-hits-the-cliq/
the motorola droid came without the ability for live wallpapers but after their most recent update (two months ago, maybe one month??) they can now support it. doesn't that phone have a 528Mhz? I could be wrong but if that phone can run it I think this phone could too.
now that root has happened live wallpapers are possible. See the android development threads for that process.
If u rooted ur phone flash eugenes slidemeroot rom it has lwp feature in it.Download adw from market and you'll be able to use it on slide.
I'm 99.99% sure this will work but I can't test it myself cuz i'm on sprint. Also don't know for sure how you guys flash updates (too much going on) but if anyone wants to try this here is an update.zip to get live wallpapers on the slide. you will have to use a launcher to view them (such as adw launcher). If this works then I'll try to get them to work on sense.

haha, is this guy for real? there is no need for:
1. keyboards
2. touch screens
3. cameras
4. flashes
5. advanced os (osx-android-winmo)
6. bluetooth
7. wifi
8. gps
9. text message capabilities
10. need I go on...
its not that we need any of this on a "phone" its that we want it on our "phone"... Look at the first phones, they did nothing but make calls...
If you root your phone and put the legend rom on your phone youll have a faster os with live wallpaper... others will work with it using like adw, but I think the legend is smoother...
so i just tried to disable sense defaults
I set adwlauncher as home default and tried to apply a lwp but its a fail
this process worked on my magic with sense... so is it the new sense or something else in the stock ROM?

Stock ROM doesn't support them. You need a rooted build that has added in the support.
Slidemeroot5r1 supports LWP.

There are several posts here for fixes to get the full Market and I'm one of the unfortunate that none of these fixes work for me. Different roms, countless restarts and FC never worked. I was talking to a friend and he told me to download market enabler. Further digging pointed to me MarketAccess - an updated version without the ads. From what I've heard, Android Market will limit what you can 'see' depending on the service/carrier you have with your cell phone. And since we're on a tablet, that may be why some of us are SOL.
Market Access will trick Android Market into thinking you have a cell phone carrier with your tablet. For example, I chose T-mobile for the U.S. and I now have Kindle and Nook; two apps I couldn't download before.
I'm going to continue testing this and see what else I can get. For now, those were the two I couldn't see and I now have them installed through the Market.
You can find MarketAccess be googling... yes, Market Access. The site should be amip.tools (can't post links yet)
Is this what your talking about?
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
Are you sure this is safe and legal?
That's it. I didn't see anything that would make this illegal. Do you?

Well not that I see. I would like to here what other members here think of this method though.
I would love to be able to access the full Market too but I am, like you, one whose attempts to fix Market did not work. However, unlike you, even with the fix you led me to, my gtab continues to not be able to see the full Market apps. Bummer. But thanks anyway.

Reggie, Did you try different carriers when running the app? Some apps may be specific to the cell phone service.
Which apps are you looking for anyway?
Yeah this fix didn't really work for me either. Honestly if I need an app badly enough and its not showing I just download to my phone back it up to my dropbox app folder and sideload it right from dropbox on mt g-tab. Works great for me and I have a backup or the app also.
I'm giving it a try and see what it does.

Please excuse this totally noob-like question, but does your phone have to be rooted to do this? I have an unrooted Droid 1 and I'm trying to figure out where the apks live. Also, how do you back up to the drop box?
Thank

Hi,
The webpage says:
"MarketAccess, as well as MarketEnabler requires root available on the device. It means than you need to unlock your phone and install the su application which will manage permissions for other apps that want to get root on the device. Google for details."
Jim
I tried this to look for a specific app. Upon further inspection I don't see anything in there using this that wasn't in there using the Market Fix. Am I missing something? For what its worth, I'm looking for Colorize Widgets.
Thanks for your reply Jim. I must have misunderstood. I thought ecatapano's fix avoided using MarketAccess and MarketEnabler by accessing and "drop boxing" apks from an Android phone then sideloading them to the g-tab through drop box. I just don't know how to get the apks from the Droid to the drop box.

I've seen mention of using Astro file manager to backup, which I guess puts the APK on sdcard, then you have to have dropbox installed on your Droid, and you can then send the APK to dropbox.

I installed the market enabler,or whatever its called. I defaulted to t mobile as my carrier. I'm not certain what you are supposed to do for setup after that. So I went back into Market and found Colorize Widgets. I'm not convinced market enabler had any influence though. Any feedback on using market enabler is appreciated.
I tried it, set to tmobile USA. Still can't see

I couldn't see colorize Widgets after setting similar so I did market fix - clear cache etc. Then could see it, but still not others above.

Have you loaded Firefox on the g Tab?
I didn't get a chance to mess with this last night. It seems like everyone is trying T-Mobile. Has anyone tried different carriers?
