Looking to change live wallpaper colors..? here's how-

Thx to- Banden
I'm using the Droid so I'm familiar with it; however I'm certain that it can be done for other rooted phones in a similar manner. Although the steps at first glance may seem complex... it shouldn't take too long to wrap your mind around it a bit and you'll see that it is rather simple.

For the way I did it, requires root access, adb shell (part of the developer kit) and also 7zip (7zip allows you to modify contents of a zip archive without unzipping.) I also use Root Explorer (a paid app on the phone.)

First thing I did was copy a file from the phone to my computer:
/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk
(there's quite a few ways to do this, I opted to use Root Explorer to copy the file to my sd card and then used the file manager on my computer to copy to my desktop.) You should create a copy of this file as a backup on your comp in-case you mess up

Once the apk file is on the desktop, right click > select 7zip > and "Open Archive"

So now you can take a look at all the files inside the apk. To edit them you will need to edit and save outside of the archive, and then move it into the archive replacing the original file. In the 'res' file are all of the graphics. I replaced the background with one I wanted then modified the color of the beads I followed the instructions here: http://alldroid.org/threads/16847-Ho...798#post576798

Once it's done you need to push the LiveWallpapers.apk file back and overwrite the one on the phone in the /system/app/ directory.

That's about it.
