if u choose correctly the lwp then
it might be some bug on ur rom !
what is ur ROM?
ur version? C6602 or 03?
did u update it to new firmware?
anyway always first step to troubleshooting devices is to restart them so try it;
Restart by > vol.up + pwr.btn
and then check lwp.
if it didn work u should try to flash another *Stock* ROM.
:good:

CLICK on live wallpapers.

This patch is for all versions of root except the 0.3lpv1 (which shouldnt be used at all!) with a recovery image.
DO NOT USE THE GALAXY WALL PAPER, it will make your phone unstable and will require a reboot.
This patch does the following.
Deletes Teeter, and Stocks to make space in the system partition.
Deletes HtcLockScreen to enable Nexus One Lock Screen
Installs live Wall paper.
To use:
Download zip, and place in sdcard.
Boot into recovery.
Select flash from zip.
Flash the lwpupdate.zip.
Reboot phone.
Go to Applications -> Manage Applicatiosn -> HTC Sense
Select Clear Defaults
Press Home button
Select Home from menu.
Press the menu button
Live Wallpapers
Select nexus one wall paper
One it loads, reboot phone for better speed.

Great job, runs better than i expected it to.
but is there any workaround for it to work on sense?

no not until 2.1 official i assume .....maybe someone can get it to run after u put it to sleep???
some do not time out exp the clock one does not time out even after reboot also downloaded some from the market-----living color works (no time out means works)mood papers -fireworks hmmmm I notice that all the ones that have no time out allow settings.
hmmm every single market app I downloaded works it's not a dream live wallpapers work with above method just download them from market or use default clock one
I like the one with the bouncing boobs
nexus mod does not work
Erm...
The download link doesn't seem to be working (even without the spacing)
PM it to me please?

On Defiance 2.1 the lockscreen is working put not the live wallpaper and that's great cause i have been looking for that lockscreen.
EDIT: Live wallpapers work, not in sense but the lockscreen is workingin sense.
Works great for me on HTC Hero, VillainRom 5.0! Only issue is the graphics glitch on lock screen and about 2-3 of the live wallpapers don't run. Very good! Anyone know where I can find the nexus launcher?
Woah this is awesome! It works nicely on the DamagedTrev rom for Sprint Hero!
Not much problems too!
Only things like the glitch on the lock screen, with the time screwed up, volume on top, and lock at the bottom. It looks pretty funny lol
Live wallpaper worked nice with the Nexus wallpaper, but on Home, every time I switch "slides," it the wallpaper freezes and then goes again.
Don't think the live wallpaper thing is such a big problem though, would be nice to get a fix for the lockscreen
Awesome job on this patch!
Yes same problem for me. How can we fix this issue?? Anybody help
I know i want the sexy nexus wallpaper to work too....Im sure someone will hack it further soon...

If only the lockscreens are important for you, then use lockbot app
lockscreen issues are not due to the patch, but due to the ROM. It seems droid eris based ROMs are fine, but the legend and sprint leak based ROMs are screwed up.

[Q] Where does honeycomb store the current wallpaper?

I know this question has been asked already, but the suggested locations given for Android 2.x don't appear to be the same in Honeycomb.
I applied the wallpaper directly from within my browser (if I recall) and don't have it stored locally in the Pictures or Downloads directories, so I was hoping somebody would know where android caches it. I've had a look through the file system but I couldn't see anything that stood out.
I also tried an app called "Wallpaper set and save", which I thought was going to come through, but the result looked horrid - I suppose that's something to do with using it on HC.
I'm using a stock UK xoom (unrooted).
Any suggestions welcome.
Same here. Looking for answer, please.

The way that honeycomb applies wallpapers is really wacky. If you have 3.1 you will see guides when you crop using the wallpaper tool. If you do not have 3.1, download one of the templates available in the forums and you will see what is "useable".
problem is that HC stock wallpapers are stored inside in Launcher2.apk.
I've just found the way how to set wallpaper in the best quality, resolution and without distortion/blur
If u use this method u not loose any part of your picture cos there is no crop it just fit the whole picture on full screen
All u need is this app MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and its free
So how to ?
-long press on homescreen
-than go to Wallpaper->Live Wallpaper and select MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
-select Setting and set your folder with your wallpapers
Done
This app actually changing the wallpapers in particular time but u can also sett it to use only one picture if u don't like changing
There is a lot more settings what u can play with if u like
So enjoy
Since this was brought up, where does the 2.x Android versions store the current wallpaper?

if u are willing to use an app for that...
then,i suggest u to get an app called 'Lock bot pro' from the market.
it'll give u several options for lockscreens(iphone,SE,HTC,galaxy-s etc.)
i myself using it with TW4 on my O2X
(down bellow i've provided 2 original shots of SGS-II and 2 shots of my O2X just for ur refrence)

I've tried simply lock screen and ripple lock, both actually were not successful in hiding LG's lockscreen after a reboot.
Is Lock bot Pro able to stay even after a reboot?

no...this happens with the lock bot pro as well.
but how many times one has to reboot his device
i think its just fine to get it set up quickly again after reboot.(just my opinion)
and by setting up i mean u just have to open the app just once to get it working again...easy enough i guess
EDIT : i just checked with the new version of lock bot pro...it does not go back to the original LG lock screen after reboot.it is persistent.

Oh ok, got it. I though it was just me.
well there's widget locker, which allows you to choose between multiple styles and allows you to customize every aspect of your lock screen, you can also add widgets directly to the lock screen!!
besides that it is persistent, so it activates automatically when you turn on the phone

I actually tried WL last night, and you're right, it is persistent! Upon boot, the LG lockscreen appears. But after a few seconds, WL automatically overtakes it. Awesome app and well worth the money!

[Q] Microbes live wallpaper not working on note.

Anyone tried microbes live wallpaper on the note, it's not working with me, tried on several roms !
I encounter the exact same problem!
My theme would fit the Microbes wallpaper so perfectly that i just made an account to reply on this thread T_T...
It's such an awesome wallpaper but such a pity it doesn't work.
Me myself also tried to install different APK's.. actually went through alot of stress because of the wallpaper that was already installed. I force installed it by Clockworkmode recovery and it got installed.
Problem? When you select the microbes live wallpaper, the wallpaper application crashes. Anyone know how to fix this?
Apparently this problem is just for the galaxy note.
Attached the wallpaper! If someone would take a look to it.. you would save our asses XD THANKS!
I didn't try your version, but this one here and it works on my Note:
http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-bionic/416079-microbes-live-wallpaper.html
Thought the thread referred to another live wallpaper that I like; it's got little creepy crawly like thing that's seen through microscope. And I can change the settings for color, etc. Can't recall it's name though!
Edited to add: Just found it! It's swampwater life!

[Q] how to put whole wallpaper?!?

Hello everyone!
I just bought LG P880, and that's my first android phone.
Tried to find an answer on this forum but no luck...
I think that you can help me...
My (noob) question is:
How can I put the WHOLE wallpaper on screen?!?
I successfully transfer file from PC to mobile, and when I want to set it as a wallpaper I have to "cut" it...i don't want to cut it I want the wholw picture on my screen!!!! The resolution of the picture is 720x1280, so that can't be the problem...
Only wallpapers that are original on phone can be full size on screen?!?
I hope that you understrand what I want, and for you all it's probably a noob question, but please help...

The problem is the resolution. A wallpaper needs to be twice as wide as the screen - that way the wallpaper can scroll correctly when you move homepages. Therefore you need to make sure your wallpaper is 1440x1280. If you only every want a single homescreen then take your 720x1280 wallpaper and add 360 pixels of junk on each side so it is the right size.
