Nexus S Livewallpaper download for Rooted users

[Droid-One]

I saw this on Xda and on Android Forums and thought I would pass it on. I have this working on my phone and love it. Enjoy

[App] Nexus S live wallpapers.apk - xda-developers

I used root explorer and that worked great. Make sure you change the permissions to match the old livewallpaper.apk when you transfer it to your system/app folder.

We need a theme sub category in this forum. I know this phone out of all the optimus models will get the most support.

couldnt get the file managers to work.

did the following instead

copied LiveWallpapers.apk to sdcard

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
mv /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk.bak
cat /sdcard/LiveWallpapers.apk > /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk
chmod 755 /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

I'm glad you got it working through adb. Root explorer worked the first time but SUFBS didn't which was weird because they do the same exact thing.

pretty cool, got it working with Root Explorer .. couldn't get microbes working though.

I have been trying to get microbes to work. I can't seem to get it going. From what I heard this livewallpaper is very demanding and will dramatically slow down the phone. Even the Nexus S and Nexus one show signs of slow down.
