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.

Just curious to know if this little machine will support live wallpapers? Been eyeing a Droid X live wallpaper for a while now and wanted to know if wallpapers such as this one will work on the Aria.

Live Wallpapers
I rooted my phone via Unrevoked 2, and running Liberated_Aria R006. I tried loading a live wallpaper, but I can not seem to find how to activate it. When I press menu then Wallpapers, Live wallpaper is not an option. Can I get a little help on where to go from here?
Thanks.
CM6 allows LWP. I don't remember Liberated allows that function since it bases on stock rom
You have to load the zip file from clockwork recovery.

Live Wallpapers
Thanks for all the help. I got it working.
I found this in one of the XDA forums archives, so I figured I would share it here again. I did the clean install option with Liberated-Aria R006, and no issues so far.
Here is the exact wording from the post by Bobj:
------------------------------------------------
6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI
* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *
1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod
4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)
5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)
6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard
6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system
8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options
*Issues*
The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.
*Files*
Clean install of the LWP packages yyy.mediafire.xxx/?t5mjyjjgnjm
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages yyy.mediafire.xxx/?jjowddzzmdw
Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.
--------------------------
Thanks again, and hope this helps.
(Due to that I am a new, please change the yyy to www, and xxx to com in the links.)
Thanks! Works great. Is there no way to use a LWP on the lockscreen though?

If you are using CM6, then whatever your wallpaper is is your lock screen. (sorry about the double is. 8th grade) If you are using liberated_aria, well my technical knowledge DOES know its bounds. Sorry.
I downloaded it, went into clockwork recovery and tried to install it from there and it didnt work. So i rebooted it and extracted the file, found the .apk, and installed it from there. It gives me the option of live wallpapers and lets me see the selection of live wallpapers, but everytime i try to set one of them, it force closes.
Any suggestions?

Honestly, it's not worth it. At all.
Reasons being, for this little Aria, it takes up an insane amount of battery. As much as the screen brightness when it's cranked all the way up. Also, in CM6, some of the touch screens (eg. Nexus LWP) aren't touch reactive, or at least do not respond quickly to it.
You can do it, but I'd advise just sticking with a regular background.

i agree. it works as says and installs easily. but most of the LWP on the market cost money and the ones that came stock with the install aren't worth having. the floating bubles and the pond with leaves were the only ones worth playing with. but i lost interest quickly. and reflashed a R04 rom and did a clean install of everything to get rid of it.
fun if you're easily amused

I second this, QuickPic is much, much faster than the 3D Gallery app. I don't know that making wallpapers "look right" is really on the Gallery app (stock or not), but on the size and resolution of the wallpaper.
Whats the resolution gtab
1024 by 600.
I'm quickpic too. Wallpapers looking great

I would get Quick Pic for a gallery replacement, it is much more functional than any stock version and blistering fast as well. Then get multi picture live wallpaper to set your wallpaper with. After install you will have to choose wallpaper -> live wallpapers -> multi picture live wallpaper to set your wallpapers to display correctly on your tablet.
The best combo I have found for this tablet and my CM7 Nook Color. MPLW is the only I way I have found to get wallpapers to display correctly on any tablet that I have ever dealt with. There is a thread about this particular problem around here somewhere, search is your friend. Do a search for multi picture live wallpaper in the Gtab forums and you will find it. I think it (the thread) even goes as far as telling you the way to modify existing images or create your own to display correctly when chosen as wallpaper when you choose them by using the traditional method.

OK here is the link thanks for being patient....http://www.mediafire.com/?1vhjevbevl74vzy
One more I want to toss in the ring.
Flick Ur Pic.
Get it from the market and use it in place of the Multi Picture Live Wallpaper I mentioned earlier. It scales the images perfectly on my Gtab. You use it just like MPLW in that you use it from the live wallpaper chooser. You can set up to nine images to rotate, or use only one and make it static with no transition effects. This one even has it's own image browser so there is no need to even have a gallery installed to use it as far as I can tell. I do still recommend Quick Pic as a gallery app for everyday image duties such as browsing and such.
Works great for me and this is the one that I will be sticking with from here on out unless it starts causing problems in other areas. LOL
Have fun with it ..... HTR
A little background. I finally got PA rom on my phone and realized that I needed GPS and I wanted some of the feature on PACman. After about 4 hours with PA, I flashed PACman.
1st, This rom is awesome. It's very quick and seems stable. I've had one restart since using it (about 24hours now). I love all the features but I have a few questions.
1. How do you change the pie colors? Can you change the colors of the items in the notification bar without applying a theme?
2. I'd like the items on the screen: browser, keyboard, etc... to be a bit bigger. How do I do this?
3. I did a Titanium backup before flashing, but it doesn't say I have anything to restore. There is an option to extract from a nandroid backup, but that's with the paid version. Before I buy, does that work?
4. I used the Moto Smartactions app a lot. Is there a way to get that back?
5. I use gmail mostly, but still use the 'email' app. I guess I'm used to the Moto 'email' app, is there a way to get that back?
6. To pickup 4G lte, what's the correct APN?
7. With PIE controls, how do you access Google Now?
I'm hoping for a bluetooth fix too. I can find devices but can't connect to them.
Well your Titanium backup must have been deleted when you did a system wipe or factory reset during the PACman installation. The best full backup in my opinion is going to be CWM (nandroid). I don't know the answers to your other questions since I never use those features
1. Go into Settings, Hybrid Properties, swipe right to open the sidebar, go to Interface, uncheck "Enable per app color" (unless you want that), and change the colors to your liking (I can't seem to get them to stick. The bottom 2 are for the status bar.)
2. By bigger do you mean the address bar and such? Turn the 2 sliders in the Interface tab (directions above) to the far right and make sure it says phone in the box above it.
3. If you made a nandroid backup before flashing PAC, restore that, change the Titanium backup location to your external SD card, backup, then restore the backup of PAC.
4. Use Tasker or Llama or a similar app.
5. Use the one from the Gapps zip that you flashed (you did flash Gapps, right?).
6. Use the "ATT Phone" APN that comes already activated with the ROM. The signal bars will show 0 when using 4G on any 4.2.2 ROM.
7. You don't.

1. That's what I was doing, but it doesn't stick for me either. I thought I was doing something wrong. Anyone know a fix ? @skeevydude ?
2. That's what I have my setting on, but it seems that, for example, when the keyboard comes up, it's much smaller than it used to be.
3. Ok, that was probably my problem, I should have backed it up to the SD. When you restore from TB, would it bring back all my text/other data?
4. I've heard Tasker is good, but I'll miss Smartaction
5. I did flash GApps, from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314604
6. That's what I'm on now, working good :good:
7. No way to access G now? I actually got used to using it to send text etc... when I'm in the car.
Example for #2, screen size. Here's a photo of my email. Everything seems so much smaller than it did on stock. Maybe my eyes are going bad.
You can access Google with the navigation ring or setting it as a long press on pie I believe.

Thanks for everyone's help.
I use Nova prime, so I used the swipe up gesture to access Google Now, works fine, problem solved
I made sure I was in stock phone UI, the keyboard is still small. I'll check around the swype keyboard options.
I changed the settings for Nova in the quick settings menu to 720p and adjust the size manually. This helps alot, but I have to do this for each app. I wish I could set it at one standard across the board.
I still can't seem to get the keyboard any bigger.
On that note. The ATT AHD had swype keyboard on it stock. Is there a way to get that back. I purchased swype for my Nexus 10, but I like the stock AHD version better because it doesn't have that 'dragon' feature. Is there a way to extract that keyboard from the stock version?

yeah just download the stock files of I remember correctly a link to them can by found in skeevydudes fastboot thread in general
it will be under system/apps
I looked, but didn't see it, maybe I over looked it. @skeevydude, have a link to stock apps? I'd like to get the stock swype keyboard if possible.

From Stock JB ATT.
@skeevydude, Thanks a ton! Unfortunately, it didn't work. It installed but once I enabled it as the default keyboard I continually get a popup message saying Swype has stopped. Oh well, I still have the newer version, just really don't like that Dragon feature...it's overkill.

Try pushing or copying to /system and set the permissions the same as the other apps (644,rw-r-r). That was a system app. And uninstall any and all traces of swipe before doing this.
A few other questions (I don't want to whore up the PAC rom thread)
It may be a setting, but when I open most apps (chrome, play store, etc...) there is a bar of either color or white between the status bar and the window. I can't figure out how to get rid of that.
Also, on the pro version of ROM toolbox: Does the boot animation installer work on this phone?
@skeevydude,
Here's a screenshot of what I meant in the last post. The line between the Now header and the status bar. It is like this on nearly all apps. It's not a big deal, but I didn't know if there is a setting I'm missing to fix this.
Motorola Atrix HD
I just bought this phone used. Did a factory reset. Before I had my Consumers Cellular sims card I was using the phone to set it up. My contacts were already in the att address book first time it hit people. Don't have a clue how they got there. I don't like when I use it it takes a few seconds to bring it up. Can I disable this and get a plain old address book?

you have to:
-unlock bootloader

-load custom rom cm-11 (kitkat 4.4.2)
you have now a new phone free of att bloatware.

How did my contacts get there before I inserted sims card?
If you root it which is very easy. There's a tool called myth tools located in here find that. Then you can get titanium backup from the store and freeze the att address book. No need to put a custom rom. You might even be able to just disable the app without root if you go to your apps in settings. Not sure there. Haven't been on stock for over a year.

What I don't like is when you mash contacts you get the a screen comes up and acts like it is searching for quite a while, then contacts will come up. Is there anything I can do to keep that from happening. My SIL has one just like it and his did that when he first got it. He said after a couple weeks it just stopped and started bringing contacts up as soon as he mashed people. He doen't remember doing anything to change it.
Like I said I haven't been stock in forever.
