I can't get any live wallpapers to work. I'm 99% sure it's my fault.
Problem:
I download a live wallpaper (eg Multipicture Live Wallpaper) from the market. It downloads fine, and appears in my app drawer. However, when I try to select a wallpaper (longpress screen -> wallpapers), the only options I get are "Gallery" and "Wallpaper Gallery". There is no "Live Wallpapers" option.
Background:
I believe that my Note was the Netherlands version, came with some apps that I didn't want (Buddies Now, Digilezen, Samsung 3M widget, etc).
My Note is rooted, and I installed Titanium Backup. I did delete some of the things in this list, using Titanium Backup and an apk list that I found (forum won't let me post the link to the list as I haven't posted 8 times).
I didn't do a backup or backup anything I deleted (stupid, I know).
I suspect that I removed an apk that is required for getting Live Wallpapers to work.
As a test, I've tried installing an apk using Astro as well as ES File Explorer, (Buddies Now - I know I definitely removed this one) and neither program could install it.
Questions:
1) Can I re-install the apk that I removed?
2) Which apk is needed for Live Wallpapers?
3) If I can't install the apk using Astro or ES File Explorer, can someone recommend another method?
Thanks.
If you're trying to use a live wallpaper on the default launcher. you're doing it wrong.
Press the 'menu' button when on the desktop (thats the bottom left button on your device) then press 'Wallpaper' then 'Live wallpaper' It should appear there. Good luck
are you sure you didnt remove the livewallpapers apk?
I agreed with the above answers.
1. Recheck the "Live wallpapper" by: On the home screen, press hard menu key, sellect Wallpapper --> Live wallpapper -> Choose 1 suitable one.
2. If #1 not work, maybe you have uninstalled/disabled file "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk"
Try to find on web the file for Galaxy Note and test if it works, ex:

Hi all,
My 3 Australia Rom (1.81.861.0) includes internet links in the default ROM Launcher tab of the Home plugin.
In the Windows folder, are some files which relate to the shortcuts, such as My 3.lnk and My 3_smooth.png which relate to the shortcut and the icon.
I cant work out how to modify these links though, nor can I work out how to move them to different spots on the launcher, if you delete them, they are not in the list of programs which you can select from again.
Can anyone help out with working out how to modify the launcher? Programs such as HTC Home Customiser and Advanced Config also dont show links as able to select for the Launcher tab.

So I have rooted and autonootererered. I have Zeam launcher up and running. No issues.
However, when I long press and try to add a shortcut, it just jumps back to the screen. Nothing happens. I can however add icons to desktop through app list by long pressing.
Also, I would much prefer Launcher Pro as I already paid for it for my EVO. However, I cannot seem to change the icons (phone icon, etc) Want to use it for widget purposes, but dont want inactive icons such as phone and contacts sitting on the dock...
Is there a workaround for this?
These are known issues. There are multiple options that can be found by searching the forum.
1. open the app drawer press and hold on the app you want an icon on the homescreen. you will be able to drag it to the homescreen
2. edit your launcher pro settings on your phone, back up and restore on your nook. (search the forum, i think someone has a blank backup or something.
How do you set live wallpaper on the Nook Color? I've rooted my Nook (firmware 1.1) using AutoNooter 3.0 according to the instructions at nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting. Market installs are enabled, and I can download them. But If I hold on the home screen and select Change wallpaper, I only see tabs for Wallpaper and Photo Gallery - no live wallpaper. If I have soft keys on, menu doesn't do anything when I'm on the home screen.
Live Wallpaper IS working on my Nook - I installed Polar Clock Live Wallpaper from the market, and if I go to Market -> Downloads -> Polar Clock Live Wallpaper -> Open, it gives the usual instructions to home -> menu -> wallpaper -> live wallpapers. But there's also a button that says "take me there", and if I press that, it takes me to a screen listing all the live wallpapers I've downloaded, and I can set them from there.
Is there a more direct way to set them?

Edit: Forgot to mention you probably just need to install the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk.
I tried that, but I still don't see any way to choose them. I even put LiveWallpapersPicker.apk on a web site, and installed it through the browser. It warned me that it was already installed - I let it install anyway, but I still don't see an option if I choose set wallpaper from the home screen. Should it be another tab? Is there a way to launch LiveWallapersPicker directly? I don't see it in extras.
Do you have a homescreen replacement app? I use ADW Launcher and in the settings I have the option of choosing a live wallpaper.
I played around with it, but found that it was screwing up the Nook's functionality too much. When I had a live wallpaper installed I could not search the Android market nor launch a video from the Weather Channel app. I might look into it further at some point, but for now, static wallpapers will do for me.
I'll second that 3rd party launcher idea. I don't know if that's what you want to do or not, but I use Zeam and my wife has the stock launcher and I can do it straight away on mine and can't figure it out on hers. The BN launcher is a bit limited, it seems.
Hi..
Anyone know how to change the background wallpaper on Nova or any launcher for that matter. Any time I attempt to do it through external apps or a gallery app it fails.
+1....I have this question also. So far the only way I can get a new background is to use a 3rd party app.

Here's what I have found to change the wallpaper (for ADW Launcher EX) but I believe it should work for any launcher:
You need to have ES File Explorer, and Wallpaper Changer (both are free and available in Google Play)
Launch ES File Explorer
navigate to folder containing wallpaper
(image thumbnails are displayed) tap on an image
("Complete action using:" dialog should appear) tap on "ES Image Browser"
(image is displayed) tap on the handle to display softkeys
tap on "menu" button
tap on "Set Wallpaper"
I'm using kindle wallpaper change from the play store.

did not work
I tried that and did not work.... help??? thanks!
Download "Gallery ISC" from playstore.
Return on your launcher
Long press
Wallpaper
And choice Gallerie ICS for beatiful and full screen wallpaper
For live wallpaper :
Download LiveWallpapersPicker
Paste the apk in "/system/app/"
Wait 30s, return to your launcher
Long press
Wallpaper
And choice Live Wallpaper
LiveWallpaperPickers does not work
Live Wallpaper does not have a selection to choose a live wallpaper. Is there a certain version that will allow that?
