It beats why samsung phones doesnt have some of the good features bundled.
This is how i got live wallpapers installed on my phone.
Live wallpapers are battery hogs and rooting your phones voids warranty.
If you phones tanks or your house bursts in a flame ,i am not responsible.
Use at your own risk
You need to have a rooted phone
Run the commands in adb shell or terminal emulator

1.)Extract contents of sdcard.zip to your sdcard
2.)Open the terminal emulator/adb shell
3.)run the following code
$su
#busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
#cat /sdcard/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk > /system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
#cat /sdcard/libRS.so > /system/lib/libRS.so
#cat /sdcard/librs_jni.so > /system/lib/librs_jni.so
#reboot

when asked for superuser privileges after su give them.

Some wallpapers may not work,but almost all work.
some wallpapers have serious lag.Phones may slow down considerably.
Some wallpapers will give mipmap error.

Cheerios !:D

Simpler Method :-
Use Super manager
Mount /system in r/w mode
copy LiveWallpapersPicker.apk to /system/app
copy libRS.so,librs_jni.so to /system/lib

reboot

dude +1 for this. really very^6 helpful
 
Use terminal Emulator which in market .
Adb is the android debug bridge .
you need android sdk and command line to aceess it.
Basically both have same functions .

I updated the thread .it has a simpler method .:D
 
i have rooted by using Z4root.apk
i have used Beter terminal Emulator for terminal emulation

1.)Extract contents of sdcard.zip to your sdcard
2.)Open the terminal emulator/adb shell
3.)run the following code
$su
#busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
#cat /sdcard/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk > /system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
#cat /sdcard/libRS.so > /system/lib/libRS.so
#cat /sdcard/librs_jni.so > /system/lib/librs_jni.so
#reboot
