Obtaining Your Droid X Live Wallpaper
A savvy XDA forum user has taken the initiative to decompile the Droid X’s live wallpapers and provide them to the Android masses. At the moment, 6 live wallpapers of the Droid X “Eye” are available on the thread - 5 from the phone and 1 modified by one of the forum members. Links for each below:
Installing
To install your Droid X Eye live wallpaper, simply
- download one of the .apk’s linked above straight from your phone's browser and click on it to install or
- move it to your phone from your computer, open using Astro File Manager or another install-capable file manager, and select install
Once installed, the Droid X wallpaper is selected like any other live wallpaper:
- go to your home screen
- hit the settings key
- select wallpapers > live wallpapers
- the installed .apk should appear as “DROID X.”
The wallpapers should be installable on any 2.1 or 2.2 Android device, with or without root. Currently, only one variation of the Droid X Eye live wallpaper may be installed on a device at a given time.
NOTE: This live wallpaper is not easily uninstalled. At current, the only method available is the following ADB console command:
adb uninstall com.android.wallpaperx

meh...I was hoping that rainbow smoke was going to be animated.
Why on earth does it need my location and access to take pictures?
I believe I have an answer for this. The .apk was originally a full-on replacement for the Android Live Wallpapers App, which has access to those particular phone functions (ie for Gallery-pulling live backgrounds and Maps backgrounds).
The access notification is likely a remnant of this, though I can't say for certain.
Yeah I downloaded rainbow smoke too. Its not animated, just the eye, but its cool.
Anyone knows how to get HTC Desire Live Wallpaper ? That one I really liked to have.
This failed to work on the G1 running superE 2.1 ROM. It installed the wallpaper, but just turned white. Any solution?
Sounds like a possible issue with the ROM. Does the G1 generally support live wallpaper? The Live Wallpaper .apk these particular backgrounds require may be a newer version than the one present on superE 2.1
"adb uninstall com.android.wallpaperx"
meaning cant uninstall like normal application? ty
I use astro viewer, uninstalled just fine.
Can you please tell how. M unable to find and do it in Astro
Thanks
i just installed this into my non-rooted Mytouch slide and i'm still figuring out how you use it as a wallpaper. i followed the directions but under settings it doesnt have "wallpaper". anyone know the work around to get this to work?
Thanx for the installation guide.....
Thank you, Dev! Awesome job!
How do you find it on Eris?
I'm with Niick how to we get this to work on Eris
if you're having trouble loading it , it's because it's the wrong resolution for your phone. It would have to be re sized to fit your device resolution. To find it on the Eris you have to flash a live wallpaper zip file
works great on my EVO, smoke and all
I installed this onto my non-rooted Samsung Intercept, but it doesn't show up in the wallpapers section.
