Live Wallpaper - Fire HD 10

[Triton2019]

Hi all,

Ok so I rooted my Fire HD 10 and I want to apply a live wallpaper to the home screen? I have installed Zedge and Google wallpaper app, but I cannot get any live wallpaper to apply! I have tried everything! downloaded wallpaper picker app, I just get a parsing error? and whenever I try to apply a live wallpaper I get App not installed error, What am I missing? I de-bloated the device only disabling safe recommendations.

Can someone help me please! it's driving me nuts.

Do I need to enable or install something to get this to work?

Thanks
Andy

I thought I should quote you so you are advised of my response above.

Hey lichan, sorry for late reply but thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction. I've got the live wallpapers working now thanks to Dragonfire1024's post. My wallpaper keeps reverting back when the screen is turned off though so I need to have a look at that! I'm closer than I was though.

Thanks again
Cheers

My Live wallpaper stays selected and doesn't revert when the screen is off so there may be something that needs to be redone. I'm on 5.6.3.0 (or 5.6.3.4 as Amazon has incorrectly numbered it.) I 'm not sure about a plain wallpaper but I'm going to switch to a non-live version because the live one seems to eat more battery even while the screen is off - not really sure , that's just an impression right now. Go back through DragonFire1024's thread and make sure every thing worked correctly. If that doesn't work post a question in his thread and he may be able to give you some specific help.

Hi lichan, yes the static one stayed fine it was just when I changed it to a live wallpaper? I have found a fix on this post I came across :

https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/help/remove-entire-lockscreen-t3338235

I ran the sqlite3 script to disable the lockscreen using a terminal app. I ran this code in terminal emulator :

su
cd /data/system
sqlite3 locksettings.db
UPDATE locksettings SET value = '1' WHERE name = 'lockscreen.disabled';
.quit

Now I can turn the screen of and on with no lock screen which keeps the live wallpaper running. As far as battery consumption I've only had it running for a day or so and it doesn't seem too bad but I can imagine it would consume more!?

Yes, I disabled the lock screen, also.

Until I can figure out how to disable the Amazon lock screen or hack it, you can't add a live wallpaper. I have thought about creating an overlay, which would likely work. Creating a symlink or even a su.d script might work too.

For now, here is my personal collection of stock live and static wallpapers https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/root-install-stock-android-live-t3748061

You can set a static wallpapers in your lockscreen (it overlays/overrides all other wallpapers regardless of what amazon throws at you) by following my super easy guide here. Results have varied. https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....t-change-lock-screen-wallpapers-t3859459/amp/

Until we can modify the boot.img without breaking it, Amazon's lock screen can't be removed or disabled. See on the root file system, the file service_contexts. It has to be removed from that list otherwise it will persist through eternity.

And can not be modified by modifying framework-res?

You can change the wallpapers that rotate in the framework (or systemui. I forget which stores the wallpapers). But that's it. Some of the lockscreen is in both the framework and systemui. But the main running process is a system 'server' (not service) so it's impossible to shut it down or uninstall it without modifiying the boot.img. I actually have to give credit to Amazon on this one. Very very smart.

I have the same problem.
LiveWallpaper working successfully on 5.6.0.0 / 5.6.0.1

When I update to 5.6.1.0 or above.
LiveWallpaper will reset on unlock LockScreen.

Do you mean the wallpaper resets on the home page? For now, live wallpapers don't work on the lock screen.

The wallpaper changing app '500 firepaper' by @Chainfire works great with my daydream enabled framework.
