Modified LWP Instructions / Respository

If you want to change the original live wall for the cyanogenmod_background here are the sizes 800 by 600 ,96 resolution that way you have a few options for color instead of just 1

What is the recommended size for the images (pixel x pixel and depth)?

off the top of my head I believe it is 1024x1024 with a resolution of 72x72.

Thanks. Can't seem to get mine to work. The LWP loads but just a blank screen and the "set wallpaper" button. I'll keep at it. Not even messing with the rs file, just the pyramid image. Do you have to manipulate the original pyramid image or can you just replace it with one that is the correct size and resolution...named properly of course.

I learned this from Stratt for other images other than the original pyramid. Save it as a jpg and place that in the res/drawable-hdpi folder. Then once in the folder rename the file extension to png. Some images weren't working for me until I did this (sorry for the late response on this).

Just a note for everyone.. today I made about 20 more lwps that I will post here and in the goodies. I am going to clean out a few that I don't like as well.

Is it possible to use your live wallpaper pack with ROMs other than Cyanogenmod?

I loaded up Fabolous's NexTheme ESE81 ROM and I get force closures if I try to load one of the LWP's from your pack...

i changed the LiveWallpaper to my liking and changed it to a .apk file, put it on the root of my sdcard and when i entered your code it said no file or directory..i double checked the name of the file for so i didnt have any typos..any suggestions for what i might have done wrong?

 

[jrummy16]

uh...... hmm.... Are you sure you named it LiveWallpapers.apk? Was your phone mounted while trying to change it?

 

[mich1248]

yes my phone was mounted while i changed it, but the file was on my desktop when i actually renamed the file..

 

[mich1248]

im not sure exactly what i did wrong, but i got your script to work finally..the live wallpaper i thought i created just became a black screen so i will continue to work at it and figure out what i did wrong..thanks...btw your roms are the best

 

[mich1248]

the livewallpaper i created when installed goes to a force close when trying to apply it in the wallpaper settings..then my background is just a black screen after i ok the force close..i try other peoples livewallpapers and get the same result..im not exactly sure what im doing wrong..anyone else having bad luck when doing this?

 

[jrummy16]

What rom are you running?

 

[mich1248]

jrummys remix v0.7-cm5.0.6.2

 

[jrummy16]

hmmm.. where did you get the base to make your lwp?

 

[mich1248]

from the zip you posted on page 1..i also tried the wallpaper pack you posted and got same results...(i am a newbie to this and new to android, so i might be in over my head..if thats the case no problem...)

 

[jrummy16]
