Hi Devs,
I was wondering if there is a way to modify the photowall live wallpaper and add your own pictures, I tried to look for a guide & modified app, however no luck.
Found 1 modified apk with batman pics but that didnt work.
Please let me know if anyone has been able to modify or is working on this.
Regards,

Steps To Modify SGS3 Photowall Live Wallpaper
Hi All,
I had tried multiple roms and when used the Photowall Live Wallpaper, I could not point it to the photo gallery to use my own pics. The gallery would never open and I had to do with the default pics which came with the SGS3. (Not sure if anyone has faced this issue).
After playing around with the apk files I did find a way to use my own pics in the PhotoWall Live Wallpaper. I hope you would like this.
A: Uploading your pictures in the Photowall.apk file.
1. Select a maximum of 8 pictures that you wish to use in the Photowall and move them to a folder on your desktop.
2. Rename the 8 pictures as follows: g1p1.jpg / g1p2.jpg / g1p3.jpg / g1p4.jpg / g1p5.jpg / g1p6.jpg / g2p1.jpg / g2p2.jpg
3. Extract the Photowall.apk from ICS ROM onto a folder on your desktop. (I used RemICS v1.3, haven’t tried this is on any other ROM).
4. Open the apk file using winrar. (Do not extract, just open)…. Navigate to the PhotoWall.apk\res\raw folder.
5. You should be able to see the files as shown in the screenshot 1.jpg
6. Click on “Add” and navigate to the folder where you have stored the pictures (remember to rename them as mentioned in step 2).
7. Select the files and click “OK”. This will replace the original files in the Photowall.apk.
8. Once this is done, exit/close the apk file opened in winrar.
You can try installing this file directly by copying it to your phone, however that didn’t work on my phone.
B: Uploading your customized Photowall.apk file in your ROM. (Tested on RemICS v1.3).
1.Open the Rom that you wish to flash (I used RemICS UX v1.3) using winrar (do not extract)
2.Navigate to \data\app folder.
3.Click on “Add” and navigate to the folder where you have saved your customized Photowall.apk. (Make sure that the name is “Photowall.apk”).
4.This will replace the original Photowall.apk with your customized file.
5.Exit and save the zip file.
6.Use the new edited Rom and copy it to the root of your “Internal SD” card.
7.Reboot the phone to “Recovery” and flash the new Rom. (I did not lose my data & settings as I did not wipe cache partition or Data/Factory, however this may or may not work for you. To be on a safer side please backup your data and applications. I will not be responsible for any data loss or bricked devices while trying this procedure. Try at your own risk.).

I think you over complicated the install process by a bit...
Why not just use a file explorer with root permissions and place the new Photowall.apk back to /system/app where it actually belongs, reboot the phone and be done with it? (/system/app is where live wallpapers that come with the phone are located by default, not /data/app)
As you can see here on my GS3, two of the several live wallpapers (phase beam and photo wall) are in /system/app
And these are the proper permissions for the apk
I tried that, but that wont work..... that the reason i mentioned
" You can try installing this file directly by copying it to your phone, however that didn’t work on my phone. "
Unfortunately wht u menitioned didnt work for me...
correct me if I am wrong... did u mention SG3... for SG3, you dont need to modify the photowall.apk, if you go to the wallpaper settings you can select pics from your gallery..

Yes, I understand that on the SG3 you don't need to do this, but on a Captivate, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to place it in /system/app and still have it work.

our cwm approaches this file & perform tasks as directed in it.....
1. open it with notepad/notepad++...
2. now nothing is understandable by u.....
3. but remember one thing -- ui_print("");
this statement is used to print text on cwm log screen
[ like ui_print("simplicity rom"); ]
4. u can change it to ur rom name & even u can add some more statements like this to ur script to print something.....
>>>>> goto -- system/etc/
and u will see many folder & files......
1. init.d folder -- conatin all the scripts that will run during startup...
init.d folder may be not there but u can create to add scripts....
[for using these scripts, u need to add custom kernel instead of stock one]
2. host file -- it can allow or block ads on ur device [its same as windows host file]
>>>>> what is ---
T9DB folder --- conatin files for ur stock keyboard....
CSCFiles.txt, CSCVersion.txt, SW_Configuration.xml, csc folder contain ur csc version,etc...
so u can delete them too [ no harm to ur rom ]
## removing ads from free apps in ur rom-----

12. if no ads come then ur rom is ads-free.....
13. enjoy
## Adding different mods & tweaks to ur rom........
1. goto the following threads && integrate them in ur rom....

## adding kernel to ur rom ---------
$$$$$ CUSTOM KERNEL $$$$$
most important thing for rom developer is that a custom kernel which support features...
rom functionality depends on kernel i.e boot.img & modules files present in system/lib/modules folder.....
whenever u add any custom kernel to ur rom then remember to downlaod & add modules from his thread to system/lib/modules folder......
this is the problem with most of the roms present here thats why some roms have problems like headphone not working........
gps not working.........
camera settings r small.....
etc.....
so try to remember this to add modules to ur rom along with kernel..........
u can add kernels from the following links----
Rafeal's latest kernel ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1818830
Hells Fusion latest kernel ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2022147
other kernel on general section --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2026654
$$$$$ Stock Kernel $$$$$
LINK [STOCK KERNEL] ----- http://www.mediafire.com/?8amfqkqq28v1h9f
stock kernel modules ---- http://www.mediafire.com/?7tckgiclaq80aoc
if u face any problem then dont pm me.......
but u can post ur problem here........... so that if any other person have same problem then we can help him also..
i think this is the easiest tutorial ever u ve seen on xda...
hit thanx button if u like my work..........

You have snatched my words
I feel all sections filled up by ROMs without any need of them
I myself made 3 ROMs
But never uploaded them as they were nothing compared to the ROMs available
And also due to 16 kb/s connection

its simple ..........
When I extract and modify the rom.zip, Should I sign the zip before flash it using CWM?
thanks...

Hey folks,
just a quick one for those who are interested. You can set a custom Bootup Animation. Most/All Animations you find online will work. Mind though, with the Mate 7 you won't be able to use provided flushable Zip files. So here's a short how-to
1. Download the Animation you want
1.1 Determine if the zip is a flashable file or the Animation itself (both are zip files)
If you don't now, unpack the file. If its folders named "Part1, Part2,..." You have the Animation. If you see a "System" folder, it's flashable.
1.2 in case of flushable: Browse to "\System\Media" and save the zip file on your PC
2. Push the Zip File to your Phone (Anywhere you are able to find it again )
3. Use a Root Explorer on your Phone (i like ES Explorer) and mount your "root" as RW (google the exact steps for your chosen Explorer)
4. Copy the "boot animation.zip" to "\cust\preinstalled\pubilc\media"
5. Reboot and Enjoy
Just for you, i'll add the Stock Android L Bootanimation:
Android L Bootanimation - OneDrive
If you have any Questions, or something doesn't work, let me know.
Android 5.0 Warning: If you're running a 5.0/5.0.1 ROM, bootanimations longer than 30 frames will cause you to bootloop because of the memory bug in Lollipop.
============================================================Reqirement:1. Rooted Phone
2. Any root browser app (eg: Root explorer, ES File Explorer)
3. WinZip or ZArchiver app (from play store)
============================================================
Steps For Installing:1. Download the bootanimation file.
2. Open the zip file using WinZip/ZArchiver app.
3. Now open your root browser app
4. Navigate to system>media folder of your downloaded file
5. Copy the bootanimation.zip file (which you have downloaded )
6. And then manually place that file in the system>media folder of your phone.
7. Give it permission [ rw-r-r ]
8. Now reboot your device and enjoy.
NOTE: Before adding new bootanimation, rename your stock bootanimation as bootanimation.zip.bak .This will backup your stock bootanimation for future use.
Enjoy
Hope that this tutorial will help you all.
Thank You all.
If you have any problem then you can ask me anytime.

Nubia Z17 Lite boot animation different
The Z17 Lite may be different than most phones in that it uses some more sub directories.
Load you zip file to System/media/theme/bootup instead of system/media.
I also cut all the picture and txt files and moved them to system/media/theme so the media manage would not find them.
