[Q] Samsung Fascinate Live Wallpaper - Captivate Themes and Apps

so i got one of my friend to pull this out of the stock fascinate firmware.Its a really nice live wallpaper of water with ripples and coral underneath it. The weird problem is i just cant seem to get it to work no matter what i do. If i install it by clicking on it, it FC's when i try to apply it. If i use root explorer to drag it into /system/app and then set it...it STILL fc's. Anyone have any ideas as to WHY this wouldnt work? File attached any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

After i posted this last night i found out that it is indeed a problem with 2.3.3 (which im on). I wonder if theres anyway to fix that :\
EDIT: It turns out that the wallpaper version that I received was from the one existing 2.3.3 leak for the fascinate. so that shouldnt be a problem. yet it still forece crashes to matter what i do.

Works great we just need to get the Samsung widgets ported over.
It works fine, just needs to be made for smaller screens, i have icons getting cut off on the menu and the text under the icon gets in the way, but it works none the less,
BTW if you try to download the .apk on ur phone from the site. it doesnt seem to download all the way, thats why the people getting the error is gettting it
thanks for the share tho.

I should be able to fix the overlap issues in the menu but there is no point until widgets are available.
**Edit: I found some of the Galaxy widgets, I will try to port them when I get a chance. I get a "app not installed" error when I try to install them. If anyone knows how to get these to work or wants to try just let me know and I'll post them here.
I'm running LauncherPro and if you enable the 3D launcher in the settings, IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! IT IS SO FRICKING COOL
Go to Preferences> Andvaced Settings> Use 3D Launcher
Listy - I havent tried it, but im sure if you push the apps/widgets using adb you should be able to get them in your phone.

[Q] Angry Birds beta & CM 6.0.2.1

I noticed that Angry Birds (beta) is not available in my Android Market... heard Froyo is required to see it. I'm running CM 6.0.2.1, but don't see it. Anyone else having the same issue? Well, not really an issue, but just curious. Thanks.

it only requires 2.0 but there are several capable phone models that can't see it in the market. I know aria and captivate definately can't.
you can get the apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770800
Thank you, very helpful. Kinda odd that it is phone specific. I wonder what else Aria owners are missing out on...

If I remember correctly, the latest beta tries to install to the sdcard but needs to be installed in phone to run correctly...
i moved onto the phone... same dealCM6
someone claim that they can run it on the stock rom? *scratches head*
all i get is freezing, with both stock ROM, and htc's latest update ROM.
First Beta Freezes when trying to load a game, and Beta2 wont even run.
e search the market i get like 25 results for angry birds on my aria... clock widgets, themes,live wallpaper etc... is there a specific one you are talking about

[Q] Where can I get the Some of the Stock Samsung Widgets?

I've looked high and low and cannot find any place for samsung widgets. I like their social and buddy widgets.
Any ideas for the captivate, I installed Cog 2.1 and it got rid of them (don't know why, the widgets are pretty decent).
Thanks In advance.
I'm not up to speed on Cognition but you might check /system/app to see if the SamsungWidget_FeedAndUpdate.apk was renamed to make it disappear. Just a thought.

I'd like to know this, tooooo. The Samsung FB widget was much better than the widget that comes with the FB app from the market, imo
Someone here was nice enough to PM me and send me an extracted APK for the widget; however, I loaded it on my phone and just can't seem to find it when I go to add a widget. I'm using Applauncher, not sure if that has anything to do with it... Any ideas on how I could get it to show up?

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.
Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim
Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.

Kind of wonder that myself. Did you notice any difference in the look? Like a higher res look for the fonts? Or was I just seeing things? That would sort of make sense for the size difference of the file I guess..

Works for me
I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.
I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.
I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.
anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1
I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.
ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with
Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..
@sixvolt
Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative

[MOD] Trebuchet launcher. Light and fast version

hi guys,
I recently put the stable version of CM9 on my captivate and it was great. but the trebuchet launcher seemed kind of laggy and would redraw sometimes. I saw that the actual trebuchet.apk in the /system was about 7MB. so I modified another version and took out everything that wasnt needed, and now I have a nice light version that is super fast with no lags or redraws. It is only 575 kb!!!!!!!. I didnt like the Nova, Apex ect. I just like stock.
so if you guys wanna try this one along side the stock trebuchet if in cm9, just rename the file and put in /system. remember to fix the permissions. If you like it, do what I did and replace the existing trebuchet. let me know what you think or if someone can make it better.
Note: there is no wallpaper chooser in this launcher I took it out. so just use some other picture from the gallery, but the live wallpaper picker is still there.
Also Special thanks to GrainOsand For making the original launcher, this is a modded version for the captivate
This launcher should work on all ICS roms. I dont know if it works in gingerbread or Jellybean. I advise not to try it in gingerbread/JB since it is not tested.
also if you notice in my screenshot I use the walkman music player, I think its much better than any other player, its fast and stable with the stock lockscreen controls.
i can post the apk if anyone is interested
Hey dude, you might wanna ask that this gets moved to themes/apps before the flaming begins lol

This sounds very good, mind letting us know what was taken out seems like with that much of a size change some features may have been removed, also wanted to verify install instruction i am guessing i can just install this apk over the stock launcher

I basically took parts from different trebuchet versions, what ever was the smallest size, and removed all the wallpapers. It is much faster, i think its because the program is so small so doesn't need much memory.
to install. if you already have a trebuchet in your system with CM9 you can replace with this (thats what I did) but if you feel uncomfortable doing that, you can rename the file and then put it in /system so both launchers will show up.
I suggest renaming and putting alongside the other trebuchet first to test. then if you like it replace the exsisting trebuchet. I dont want anyone to complain that they wrecked their OS.
So i renamed to old launcher to .apkold in /system/app and copied in the new launcher. Its been running the boot animation for about ten min now i will give it another few minutes but i have a feeling i did something wrong?
NO, you cant change the file extention!!!! it has to be .apk. if you want to rename it you should rename to Tebuchet2.apk or something. obviously the .apk need to be there. also i hope you are running CM9. i said in the original post this is for ICS only!!!

yea i think you did it wrong, you cant alter the file name of the original launcher. either you replace it with this and make sure the name and permissions are exactly the same or keep both and rename the new one to Trebuchet new.apk or something
Cool thanks I went back to CM9 and it works well hope there is a CM10 one on the way!!
I wont be making a CM10 version until I use CM10. and that will only be once cyanogenmod release a stable RC or final version of CM10. but if someone else wants to make it and post it here that would be great.
This works across devices, by the way.

Yes i knew that I have tested it on a Nexus S also. I think it should work on all ICS phones. just wondering if you are finding this faster than the S2 touchwiz?

Hi, I just downloaded your Launcher, But havent installed yet, cause Im just still learning about all this stuff, know a lot of Linux and Computers, and because of that, I always want to be sure what Im doing, so before doing it I was wondering, I just put it in /system and then What? I suppose, I need to reboot phone, but How can I choose betwen both Launchers? I looked for an option in Settings, but didnt find nothing...and second thing, with this launcher I can't use my own pictures for Wallpaper?
Thanks in advance dude
Edit: I placed it in /system/app folder, Set the same permissions of the original one, reboot, but nothing, I can't find a way to switch it, Do I have to change names so the new one replace the old, and then name the old one with just a random name temporaly, ??
