Samsung Moment :: Live Wallpaper Without Rooting
May 17, 2010
I'm copying this from another post because I don't want it to get buried. This is for everyone out there having trouble getting Live Wallpapers to work on their Moment. I give FULL credit to the other posters.*6/30 EDIT! - The new links are now working properly! -This post is assuming you already have the 2.1 update-Files Used:
CCLeaner
OLD CL14 SAMSUNG INSTALLER
New Recovery File
Live Wallpaper ZIP
-Follow EXACTLY. Don't deviate-
1) Go to Control Panel. Remove EVERYTHING Samsung from your Add/Remove section. This will remove all of the drivers etc.
2) Go to your Program Files (x86 if needed) section under 'My Computer'. Delete the 'Samsung Electronics' folder.
3) If you have CCLeaner and are comfortable using the Registry tool, clean your registry of anything Samsung. This will ensure that your new install doesn't use the old stuff.
4) RESTART
5) Install the OLD CL14 SAMSUNG INSTALLER onto your PC. This is important as the NEW installer won't use non-signed packages.
6) RESTART
7) Download the new Recovery and KEEP IT IN ITS DOWNLOADED FORMAT. Take off the MD5 at the end of the file so it ends in TAR.
8) Go back to the Samsung Electronics folder (that you would've deleted earlier) and head to SWUpgradeModelsBinary. Remove the file inside, probably called "SPH-M900_MR2_DE03_REL_1.tar". Delete it, move it - whatever.
9) Copy the Recovery file you just downloaded into that folder. DO NOT EXTRACT IT.
10) TURN OFF YOUR PHONE and remove the battery for about 10 seconds. Replace battery. DO NOT TURN IT BACK ON.
11) HOLD 'VolDown+Camera+End'. A DOWNLOADING screen should appear.
12) Start the SWUpdate that should be on your desktop. Otherwise, it's back in the Samsung Electronics folder from earlier.
13) FOLLOW THE ONSCREEN INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. I can't stress that enough...
14) After it applies the Recovery file (which is why you placed it in the Binary folder), RESTART YOUR PHONE.
15) Copy the Live Wallpaper ZIP file to your SDCard. DO NOT put it into a folder. Just copy it to the root of the card (meaning it's by itself and not in a folder). DO NOT EXTRACT.
16) POWER OFF YOUR PHONE
17) HOLD 'VolDown+Call(Green)+End(Red)'. This will put you into Recovery Mode. Using the VolUp/VolDown keys, scroll to 'Apply Update.zip' and press the center key. Select the Zip File you just copied to your SDCard. After it processes, RESTART YOUR PHONE.
18) BOOYA! After your phone boots up, you should be able to hit Menu then Wallpapers and you should see Live Wallpapers as a heading.This doesn't ROOT your phone, only adds Live Wallpapers to your Moment. If you want to run CUSTOM Live's, you'll need to ROOT your phone.After the zip is applied, you can delete it from your SDCard.

I installed Live Wallpaper. Regardless of all the posts saying it doesnt drain the battery too bad, my brain refuses to accept it. Im trying to remove it, but I have no clue how.

I think this would be really nice while being useful. I did a search in the market but only about nine results come up. I would pay for a HTC sense weather like widget that was actually a live wallpaper.

Anyone know where I can download the .apk for Thunderstorm Live Wallpaper? I think it has to be sideloaded on the Captivate.

There's an update.zip for a port of the Galaxy-S live wallpapers here. That contains all the live wallpapers included on the international Galaxy-S. The only one missing from the Captivate is "Ocean Wave". Can someone more familiar with this sort of thing modify that zip to only include "Ocean Wave" as I don't want to risk my other Live Wallpapers. Or does anybody know a different way to get it on the Captivate? (I tried using ADB to just install the .apk for Ocean Wave, and got a force close when I ran it, so that was no good.)

Has there been an apk released yet, or is there anyway yet to get the luminescence live wallpaper on other android phones? I saw it on a hands on video, and it looks pretty sweet. I'd love to have it on my EVO. Let me know!

I have my incredible set to use the live wallpaper "water". When I turn the phone off to charge at the end of the day, upon restart it defaults to the htc colors wallpaper.Is there something I'm doing wrong, is there a setting I'missed to retain the "water" live wallpaper after restart, or is this just normal behavior?

Does using "Live Wallpaper" use battery life more than fixed wallpaper. If so is the drain anything significant?

This may have been answered, but I've been following this all day and haven't seen anyone explain how to do it. I'm on Joey's DD03 v4. I've downloaded some live wallpapers but have no idea how to apply them/make them work.

As always, this is at your own risk and I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone (really nothing can happen that can't be fixed/reflashed).

You can install these a number of different ways. Forget all that and let's make it easy! You must have root to do this.
1) Download file and rename to LiveWallpapers.apk
2) Place in root of SD card.
3) Open Root Explorer and go to SD card, then long press file (LiveWallpapers.apk) and select copy.
4) Back up and go to the System folder, then Apps.
5) Hit the big button on top to mount as Mount as R/W.
6) Press paste, it will ask you to overwrite file, press yes.
7) After this is done select the LiveWallpapers.apk and long press to bring up permissions. Change permissions to User- Read and Write, Group- Read, Others-Read then OK. Hit the big button on top to mount as R/O again!
8) Reboot and then long press the screen, bring up live wallpapers, then select Nexus, then enjoy!

I realize that you can't delete NFL Live, as it's one of the original Sprint-installed apps.
Here's my issue: I tried to open it and it prompted me to update. I tried this four or five times, with no success--before realizing that my problem was probably that I had not authorized an "extra fee" service.
Now, though, I've got five or six copies of the app on my phone. I can't seem to delete any of them. Is it not possible to delete the extras?

So once and for all...
Samsung Moment, as of 5/14 with Android 2.1 -
I have Live Wallpapers on my Market, but when I download, they don't do anything; nor can I seem to access them anywhere (that I can find).
So, working? Not working? Neet Root? Anyone know for sure?

If I load 2.1 and root my phone, can I (if so how) ever go back to 1.5 if I need service or what not? A little apprehensive about rooting, since I have never played with the phone before.
