Enable Live Wallpapers on Samsung Galaxy 551

Posted by waveboy2u on 17 February 2011

Posted in: Android, smartphone. Tagged: android, Samsung Galaxy, Terminal emulator. 196 Comments

1) You need to root your Samsung Galaxy 551

2) Download and unrar sdcard.rar on your SD card (on root, DON`T put in any folder)

3a) Download Terminal Emulator from the market

3b) Use adb with shell command (your phone has to be in developer mode)

4) In Terminal/adb write:

su
mount -o remount,rw,codepage=utf8,vfat,xattr,check=no /dev/stl5 /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

* after you write “su” phone will ask for root permision, ALLOW it

** after every line press Enter

5) After phone reboots you can use Live Wallpapers

Good Luck

Hey using your files that you have posted i finally found a easier way to install live wallpapers..
Try a software called diroid explorer
now in this go to the system n then to app
now here u need to pasted file LiveWallpapersPicker.apk (that u provided)
now go to lib which is right there at down of app now here paste the files librs.so n librs_jni.

all done remove phone from usb n restart it

tada … finaly livewallpapers are installed

    Flash doesnt work on V6 processors.They only work on Cortex series V7.Even V6 with V7 instruction set wont be able to play flash. 😦
    Flash lite or Skyfire are the only options if Flash is necessary

  ABD is a computer program. you open this program, connect the phone to your computer and you will use same commands as you use in terminal emulator app

karan on 14 March 2011 at 12:45 said:

@pranay
you have to remount in rw mode thats why the rw option
just try adding busybox in front of mount command.
Same thing for droid explorer .You have to remount in rw mode to copy the files.

It didnt harm my phone.It’s just gives you superuser (root) privileges .No you cant root phone with a terminal emulator ,that will be a serious catch 22.

  It voids warranty since you root your phone.There is an even easier way than this.But basically the chances of mistake are much more higher and I havent confirmed it’s working yet.Basically I installed it just as a whim.I have rarely used live wallpaper.I have spent more time installing it then using it.

  Terminal Emulator is a handy app.
  You can delete sdcard.rar ,the files on sd card.
  You can unroot phone too.
  The good news is ,no ,even if you hard reset your phone,live wallpaper will still be there.
  The bad news is if samsung care center guy notices this, then its bye bye warranty.

It’s a technicality which we have to explain it to newbies .Rooting voids warranty because we are using exploits to gain super user access.If they or us somehow manage to brick phone ,they should know the consequences .

if rooting viods warranty then by what method we can save our warranty and also activate live wallpapers..without being noticed
because voiding 1 year warranty for wallpaper is not a good deal.

Reply
- karan on 7 April 2011 at 16:01 said:
  
  Well you can reflash the firmware with odin .The problem is there is no firmware of India available as of now .So that all depends on how good you can lie when the need of warranty arises.
  Technically speaking,you have voided warranty when you have used an exploit to gain superuser access.
  Superuser access is for people who want to take a leap of faith.

  You tried to access an exploit in android operating system which was customized by samsung.You tried to gain super user access when samsung does not permit to you.There are technicalities involved.
  There is a difference between technical and actual warranty void.Depends on how good you can lie to the customer care.:D
  Well I have installed live wallpapers, changed the scaling governors of cpu manually, and messed with Dalvik cache.So my opinion is not what you will like .:P

  It’s all about bragging rights.Live wallpapers consume more battery but are sleek and shiny.Bragging rights vs Secure warranty.A good thumb rule is do experiments after 6 months .

I know that this question is a little irrelevant. but in your post there is a part where you type an “=” sign. How do I do that with the hardware keyboard?
Also is there a way to get this symbol “~” on the hardware keyboard?

Reply
- waveboy2u on 18 July 2011 at 06:42 said:
  
  lol…i had that problem too…you have to close hardware keyboard and open the on-screen keeboard, do the = and…after that you can continue with hardware keyboard 🙂

    So it isn’t there after all….. That’s dissapointing.
    I use the “=” and “~” a lot, and I rarely use the onscreen keyboard. is there a way to get them on it (like a custom keyboard software or something)

I have a really serious question guys..

Can u give me some tips to save battery on this set??

Reply
Pranay on 22 July 2011 at 20:48 said:

Korak,
turn off wifi,gps,bluetooth,auto-rotation if not required
go to wireless and networks and enable 2g only,if u dont use 3g
set screen brightness to 0percent when indoors
reduce screen timeout to 15sec if convenient
dont use live wallpaper (if u have installed it)

for more control over your device, Root your phone and use CPU Tuner …(rooting may void warranty) ..with this u can reduce cpu usage. to tweak your phone visit Karans blog galaxy551.wordpress.com (research carefully first, coz this voids warranty and can permanently damage ur phone)

HELLO guys i hav found a more easy way to install live wallpapers on thease phones…….
1 root ur phone with “z4 mod”which can be found on 4shared website.
2 download root explorer from market or 4shared and install it.
3 unzip or unrar the sdcard.rar file trough pc to ur sd card.
4 open root explorer and disable read only mode by clicking on the icon there “R/O” in root explorer on the top(the button is small)
5 u get 3 files after unrar in that (root explorer)scroll down and u will see a folder sd card enter it and copy livewallpapers picker which u extracted and paste it to system>app
6 and again go back to sd card folder and copy the two .so or somtin files that u get when unrared and paste them to system>lib and close all the apps(running)
7 restart your phone.
8 listen to this step carefully ……ENJOY the live wallpapers on ur phone..
9 to get back u r warreny unroot u r phone with z4mod again . :p

*allow super user permissions
**be patient.
***have a antivirus in u r phone .(4shared files may contain virus)
****enjoy..

***************i am not responsible for and damages this methods may cause to u r phone .as per i hav tried it and also my frens nothin happened so dont blame it on me*************

hi guys i have samsung galaxy 551 handset there are lots of confusing way to enable live wallpaper but dont worry i’ll tell u easyest and effective way to how u can do this……….
so here we go
download (super user) and then (terminal emulator)
then download file of (Z4root 1.3.0) apk might me guys u cant download this file to your cell phone or pc so download the zip file….
and (sdcard.rar) u can download any these file from http://www.apktop.com
exttrct file into memory card but make sure it shouldnt be in any folder then
1st step
open z4root click permanent boot ur cell will reboot
after reboot ur super user and terminal emulator wil start working….. now
go to
terminal emulater
fallow the same step that genlmen wrote

su
mount -o remount,rw,codepage=utf8,vfat,xattr,check=no /dev/stl5 /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

* after you write “su” phone will ask for root permision, ALLOW it

** after every line press Enter

5) After phone reboots after opening u close all apps from task manager and then press home screen you can use Live Wallpapers

well i have already try it if still any one have problem contect me at my email. wil give u my no. n help u……

Hey, waveboy, thanks for the amazing method. But it was only successful when I was on 2.2. Now I’m on 2.3.6 and it doesn’t work (gives read-only filesystem error even after following every instruction and command line-by-line. So any ideas on how to get it working on 2.3.6? Thanks 🙂

  if ur 2.3.6 is rooted….and this method is not working…take a file manager with root access and manualy copy the files inside the /system/app (apk file) and /system/lib the lib files
  and it should work
