can someone tell me how to set an animated wallpaper. I cant seem to figure it out. I had it working on the 9.28 build but i dont remember how i got it working.

I installed an animated wallpaper cab and it tells me it installed successfully but it doesn't show up when i select to add a wallpaper to insert a live wallpaper.

cab?

There's an APK, I think it's called "LiveWallpaper.apk" or some such. It was pulled from the Reference builds because they slowed the phone down to a crawl and just made for an overall horrible experience. Basically the tradeoff was - have a bunch of people complain that they suck, or have a few people complain that they're not present - plus, you can add them back in, so it's not that big of a deal

. Can't say I didn't warn ya!

This usually is a result of a kernel panic, but they don't happen very frequently (to me...)

Im not sure I just unzipped everything within the RAR file to my SD card and ran the Haret. Do we have to choose which kernel to use? I looked further into it and see there a few to pick.

Well if you just ran with what's in the rar, that should be the newest kernel from GIT.

is there anything in particular that you're doing that is causing the resets...?

Ok so then I need to go to the market and instal livewallpaper.apk in order to run live wallpapers?

Looks like ill be giving that a shot.

Thanks

Or just search for that apk, rip it out of the BLAZN build... whatever. Don't think you can get this app from the market, sorry.

Well I did a comprehensive search and all I could find was more live wallpapers.

But I did look into the blazin build and I found three that show promise. Im guessing its the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk

Isn't it?

Thanks Ill be trying it out.

and I know about how it may drain the battery but arn't there ways of making it more effeciant. Again just a question I completly understand its not a priority.

Here they are if anyone else wants them.

Yea, the picker is the one you want. The additional APK's are other LiveWallpapers themselves.

It's not really battery drain... it's proc power. Our old phones are... old. They don't support OpenGLES2.0, and the processor is slow. Nothing you can really do to overcome that, short of buying a new phone. Seems like there might be a little bit of hw performance to improve upon but not much, devs have done a good job at optimizing gfx performance. The only limit (potentially) is that 30fps limit - Evo had the same issue, although very different hardware. Not sure what the max FPS we could get out of it is, but FPS2D shows 30 with the screen on and like 100+ with it off. I've seen it randomly hit 50, so perhaps there is more hiding in there that's limiting it.

Only so much you can do in software to overcome hardware limitations. I'm not trying to run Windows 7 on my Apple IIe

Hello everyone. Just wanted to give my 2 cents as far as what I have noticed with the FRX04 reference build. Ive been using the reference FRX04 for a week or so now and it really works quite well. Seems pretty fast. On occasion I have to hit the power button a few times to wake from sleep. The only problem I've had is that the time starts to drift after I run haret from WinMo. It does not just jump it slowly drifts off. It takes a few days to really notice. I have the phone set to use network provide values. I also notice that the reception bars will go to none if I have not made a call before it sleeps for a long while (maybe an hour). If I turn airplane mode on and back off reception bars come back. Thanks for all the work all the developers have done on getting Android working on the Touch Pro2. This is really a very good phone WinMo is just not a very good OS for it.

Well I installed livewallpaperpicker successfully however when i go to run a live wallpaper it gives me an error

"Sorry
The application live wallpaper picker (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

Do you happen to know whats causing the app to stop working?
