Is there a way to do this without adb, such as by flashing the zip file?
ADB frightens me.

Look at the Nook General page at "Work Around" issues. The OP his some tips. I believe #12 or 13 deals with live wallpaper manipulation with root explorer.
Thanks. The link to the file in #12 isn't working for me. Do you know what it was? (Was it the "LiveWallpapers_NC.zip" file?)
Edit: and do you know what the best program for the Root Explorer is? (Root Explorer was about $4. Is there something free out there?)
Doesn't Auto-Nooter 1.0.1 enable live wallpaper? It must, because I didn't do any ADBing or sideloading that I remember.
Cheers,
kev

Try this link (I was able to download from there. Got the link from NookDevs, it should be valid). Root Explorer is the best way to work around adb most times. It is worth the investment. Just follow instructions in work around post.

I am trying an app called "Super Manager" which is free.
I am confused at item #12, where it says to install "this" file. (I assume the zip file is what is being referred ti?)
Once I download the .zip file, How do I install it? Don't I have to flash it? (Am I only trying to install the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, and moving the other 2 files into the correct directory in addition to setting the permissions?)

I did not look at the zip file, sorry. I did notice that there were a couple of scripts with it that looks like the whole thing would be flashed in recovery. I found this stand alone apk for the app which I would feel more comfortable with. Install it per instructions. I got the download link from the attached thread that shares which wallpapers may be working. Good luck

The performance is definitely better with this version on the Atrix. I've attached a modded library that will allow you to view Hulu and other desktop-only sites. Unzip, push to phone, copy to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so. Use Dolphin HD, set user agent to Desktop, Plugins to Always. Enjoy.
Thanks pal

When you say copy too "libflashplayer.so", do you mean I overwrite that file? Because its not a folder. Im new too all this, so be nice, LOL.
Well I removed the original file and copyed the mod file over and it works now. This is so awesome!!

so did you rename the mod file to what the stock file is named? I tried that and it told me I didn't have Flash installed so I went back to regular 10.2.

I posted a modified libflashplayer.so in the Galaxy Tab->Apps/Themes forum a while back. It's not 10.2, but it should be the latest non-tegra2 flash. Search for "hulu flash" and it should come up.

Sorry, I should have put a bit more detail into my post.
1. Install the 10.2 Flash version from the OP.
2. Once you download the attachment and unzip it, you'll have a libflashplayer_tegra_mod.so file. The stock file is named libflashplayer.so. You can either rename it on your PC and then adb push it to your phone, or push it as is and rename it while in an adb shell. Either way, just make sure it's named libflashplayer.so and gets copied to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib.

You'll need either Root Explorer or use some other method such as a root shell via adb.

UPDATE: Nevermind, just needed to fix permissions
Hi everyone! I'm still relatively new to all these customizations that can be made on these phones, and I am curious about all these .apk files I keep seeing around. Everyone time one is posted, it says to push it to your phone to replace whatever file is there... The thing is, every time I read about it I find a new way of doing it. Some say to use root explorer, some say SGS tools app, some say to use easy installer, and I think I've even read to use ADB? I just was wondering what's the best method? Easiest method? Can you screw your phone up by replacing these files? I keep reading things like if you want to switch a camera in your ROM to a different version, just install the .apk! Or, if you want to use live wallpapers in a ROM that doesn't come with it, here is the .apk for that!
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks guys!

You CAN screw your phone up if you do it to the wrong APK (like /system/framework/framework-res.apk, if you install a bad one, your phone won't boot, but there is an easy fix, nandroid!).
Basically all the methods do the same thing. In Android "Installing" an app is as easy as moving it to the correct location. All of these methods do just that.
The easiest way IS to probably use Root Explorer because you can rename the old one just in case, and it will handle the system read/write mounting for you. Plus GUIs are always easier.
So here's how it works: user apps go in /data/app, and system apps go in/system/app. User apps can't really mess anything up, but be careful with System ones. Live wallpapers, things of that nature usually don't hurt. Camera is ok to mess around with, too.
Edit: my ramblings are probably confusing, don't hesitate to ask me to clear something up
usually most apk files can be installed easily by transferring the file to the root of your internal sd card then go to MY FILES locate the apk file and click on it and it will ask you to install. Thats it. You can also root explorer and just place it in the system/app folder then reboot. I install all of my apks through the first way I mentioned. On my wife's Mytouch4g there is no my files so use Astro file manager. Come to think of it any file manager from the market will do. Good luck...

An apk is a specialized application file used by android (uses the same file headers as .zip files).
You are correct that there are various methods to push or move apk's to appropriate directories with in the phone. now as to which is easier or best, all methods work about the same, though there are minute differences.
If you want to move apk's into a certain directory while using a phone i find it easiest to use a file manager like root explorer that has root permissions to move apks around. keep in mind that when moving system files most often you will have to reboot for the changes to take effect with out bugs.
If instead you want to use a computer personally i find ADB to be the easiest. After installing the android sdk you will have to navigate into the android sdk directory then to the platform-tools directory within the android sdk folder. then in command prompt type " adb push <directory of file on your computer> /<directory of where you want it on your phone> hit enter and all is gravy. keep in mind that pushing/moving files to your phone using adb works the best when in recovery mode.
as to which of these operations is the best is a personal decision personally i like to use adb to move around system files and root explorer for applications.
hope this helps
Thanks guys!! Ok, so just to be sure. I'm currently running the Malice rom, and somewhere in the threads is the LiveWallpaperPicker.apk
So all I have to do is download this, place it on the root of my internal SD card, go into file manager and find it, click on it, and it will ask me to install it? It's really that easy??
Or, should I download root explorer and copy and paste it to a specific place?

For that file you will need to place it in /system/app (it can't be installed normally because it's a system app). So you need something like Root Explorer
I think EStrongs File explorer is a decent free alternative, but when I tried it a couple months ago I had no luck with it so I just bought Root Explorer (good investment)
The guide in my signature touches on this, but BT has you covered. I am also a huge advocate of Root Explorer.
Just take the .apk, move it to system/apps and I reboot, but it may not be necessary... no need to click on it and select install, as BT referenced.
Thanks so much everyone! Just purchased root explorer and will try this out.
IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After I rebooted, none of my widgets could load, but I have live wallpapers again! I love learning new stuff! Thanks sooooooooooooooooo much! You guys are the BEST!!!
Odd about the widgets. Were you able to just remove them and re-add them back?
Yep, just deleted them off my home screen and added them back again. All of them had errors saying widget could not load

In google maps does not work. Not even in browsers like Opera or Ninesky.

this is the problem?? I've Stock ROM 2.1update1 with firmware 2.1.1.A.06
then, I have to create that file and copy it into /system/etc/permissions with rootexplorer...
now I try this...and you know I do!
EDIT: NOT WORKING...I have create that file (copy and paste the code in the frame in a txt file, and renamed android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml) then I've paste it into /system/etc/permissions and associated it permission rw-r-r
rebooted and not working...single touch.
yet launched from the console does the dual touch working in some applications ... why?
EDIT 2: Please do not send me to hell, but by creating the file and rebooting, if I launch "insmod" from the console, dual touch works in all apps!
How is it possible, however, that the changes to make it start with phone not work?
I want to work "even" when I restart the phone!
Did you try this version?

With this script you can enable and disable a lot of things ... I can just see if it works ...and let you know ...
I wanted to ask, but what is JIT? what does it do?
thank you in advance for availability ..
EDIT: Works!!! without launching the script, I went just to see how the command was written in the file "hw_config.sh" ...
I corrected, and after restarting, it works!
I was wrong because we put the quotes, but no need to write.
The correct lines of code to be included in the file "hw_config.sh" (at bottom) are:
# load multi touch driver
insmod /system/lib/modules/cy8ctma300_ser.ko
sleep 1
After you have copied into system/lib/modules "cy8ctma300_ser.ko" , mounted it as rw-rr , and edit the file "build.prop" as indicated in the post.
works!!!
thanks!!!!
Has anyone tried to reinstall the stock asus Keyboard app?
I know it's the "keyboard.apk".
I tried to install it via root explorer by moving it to /system/app then giving it all permissions and rebooting. But it still won't show up.
Any ideas?
The stock keyboard isn't inside Keyboard.apk; that only contains the shortcuts for the Asus dock keys. The Asus Keyboard is inside XT9IME.apk.
**Edit**
Never mind I found it on this old post. You need these files:
Needed for software keyboard:
XT9IME.apk
/system/lib/libjni_xt9input.so
/system/lib/libjni_xt9kcm.so
/system/usr/xt9
I yanked these out of the revolver rom and put them in place with root explorer.
Now I'm good to go. Thanks agentdr8.

For the Xposed do you need to download this zip file and put in the sd card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3518598&d=1445801916 ( is the xposed files for the arm sdk22)
Now install the app flashfire by chainfire (google)
then instal the xposed installer
Open the flashfire app, it will ask for root privilige, give them, and go to the plus sign search for the zip file, thick the mount partition, and flash it (is an app for flash zip file without recovery)
Let it do his thing, and it will reboot, it will take a time, then you will see that the apps androir ar chargin like if was an update.
start the xposed app and it will be installed.
Good luk!
Im not responsable of any damage, those are the step i did and work for me
