About the live wallpapers...

[julianb]

Hi all,

I'd like to have the live wallpaper running on my Desire for a while...I read several threads and as it appears I will have to download a zip file and copy/paste the content of the file onto the SD card root folder. Then I will have to reboot the Desire. It says to press volume down + call + power but I do not see a call button on my Desire. Is that a physical button and which is it?

I have some absolutely fantastic wmv short videos on my PC and was wondering if I could just convert them in another format and use them as a live wallpaper on the Desire. Or the live wallpapers use some unusual proprietary file format?

Cheers.

I am afraid that creating live wallpapers it a bit of a science in itself, requiring some developer know-how:

Live Wallpapers | Android Developers

I am not sure what the first part of your post describes though? Live wallpapers can simply be selected from personalization settings, and you can download new ones from the market.

Thanks for the reply, Yenzehn. Not exactly what I was hoping for but what can we do... which is a shame because the videos I have are really stunning (3dfiction.com - Fractal Dreamscenes and Screensavers)

Cheers, mate.
