OK going to bed, wanted to leave an update.

I have them not crashing. Im not saying I have them working, they are just not crashing the phone now.

More coming later.

Can you make a update package so we can install this right from the recovery menu?

Binny,

hit me up on irc tonight, ill get you going.

No update.zip will be coming for this as far as I am concerned.

It will be part of a new rom, hopefully minus HTC addons.

jcase,

I have the 2.1 leak v2 and I've been tinkering with the live wallpaper issue. It seemed like I came really close, so I thought I'd share my findings and maybe an actual dev like yourself could use it in your endeavor.

First, I downloaded and installed the "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk" from this site:
favicon.greaky.com/files

Next, I downloaded and installed the "LiveWallpapers.apk" from this site:
megaupload.com/?d=RG6KFWTB

Finally, I installed Helix Launcher from the Market.

Everything seemed as if it was going to work. Long press on the home screen, choose wallpapers, then Live wallpapers, which brings me to the list of live wallpapers currently available. Then I hit a wall:

"The application Live Wallpaper Picker (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Well, hope this helps. If you have any other ideas you'd like me to try, I'm up for it (as long as I don't brick my Eris of course )

We've decided that live wallpapers just won't work correctly on our phone... some of them that is.

We've had non-OpenGL-based live wallpapers working without a hitch for some time now. The OGL ones crash when the phone sleeps when not plugged in. This is something that will most likely need some rewriting of kernel/lib files in order to fix.
