Default Missing apps/live wallpapers from the D2 R2D2 rom dump?

So, I was watching an unboxing video of the D2 R2-D2 & noticed that an app "The Best of R2D2" was listed. I found it odd because, the MyDroidWorld ROM dump did not have this app. I did some more research and found that it's also missing 2 live wallpapers. So, to recap:

Missing Applications

The Best of R2D2
A launcher for the exclusive video


Missing Live Wallpapers

3D Millennium Falcon
"Touch the screen and watch the
Millennium Falcon fly thru the
asteroid field"


The Empire Strikes Back
"Tap your screen to view the
greatest moments from Star Wars:
Episode V"


I don't mean for this to sound like I'm not grateful for the rom dump (I now get to have some of the exclusive stuff on my regular Droid 2), I just wanted to point out that some things were missing.

The original MDW/TBH R2D2 Rom release has the live wallpapers and the cheesy binocular app, as well as the standard wallpapers... I don't recall really looking for (or caring about) the "Best of" video or the lightsaber app before deleting all of it with the rest of the bloat anyway. And thankfully Motoboy removed the annoying C3PO on all of my contacts that do not have a pre-existing photo!

Sorry to necro an old thread but this one comes up in search results and it seems like it hasn't been answered yet. I figured I should answer it in case anyone comes along from a search engine.

In addition to the missing apps listed by the OP, there's also a 15th wallpaper, Han Solo in Carbonite, that seems to be missing from the leaks.

The leaked wallpapers all have the same naming scheme:
StarWarsESB_asteroids.apk
StarWarsESB_Binoculars.apk (this is the AT-AT Binoculars app)
StarWarsESB_lightspeed.apk
StarWarsESB_R2D2.apk
StarwarsESB_spaceslug.apk

And are present in /system/app. You can copy them out of there once you're rooted.

However, the two missing wallpapers are named differently, but still in /system/app:

Asteroids.apk (this is the 3D Millennium Falcon wallpaper)
swipe.apk (this is the The Empire Strikes Back live wallpaper, not Swype)

However, when I copy them out, I get a "App not installed" message. If I ever figure this out, I'll update my guide with instructions on fixing it (see link below).

The missing static wallpaper is with all the others in:
/system/app/BlurHome.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/
(APK's are just zip files, so you can open them up and see inside)

The Best of R2D2 App is just a video player which automatically loads the video located at:
/system/media/video/startupvideo_en.3gp

But the app is a normal user app, not a system app, so it's apk isn't located in /system/app like the rest. You can back it up using Titanium Backup or Astro File Manager or whatever.

I figured this stuff out while writing a guide about ripping all the R2-D2 theme elements from the stock R2-Droid 2 and getting them working again in a ROM on the R2-D2. Here's a link if you want to know more:
