[MOD] Windy Weather Live Wallpaper w/ No Watermark - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I liked the Windy Weather live wallpaper that came with the GSIII, but I didn't like the ever so noticeable watermark that is on it. I've also seen requests for versions without the watermark so, I took it out back and beat it senseless until it was gone. See the screenshots below for a preview. (I will add more screenshots later)
READ BEFORE INSTALLING
- I recommend making a back-up of the original WeatherWall.apk at /system/app BEFORE installing this.
- This only removes the AccuWeather watermark. The name of your current city will still be visible.
- This live wallpaper was pulled from a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III. Although it should, I have not tested if this will work on other versions of the Galaxy S III. I don't think it will work on other phones (because of screen size issues), but it may!
- You must have root in order to install this.
- Install at YOUR OWN risk. While highly unlikely, I take no responsibility if this damages your phone in any way.
Installation:
Manually:
1. Download the WeatherWall.apk provided and put it on your SD card
2. Open up your favorite file manager application on your phone that has system read and write capability. I prefer Root Explorer
3. Navigate to wherever you placed the downloaded .apk and move it to "system/app" overwriting the unmodified "WeatherWall.apk"
4. Restart your phone and enjoy!
NEW! Flashable: (Easier!)
1. Download the WindyWeather-NoWM.zip provided and put it on your SD card
2. Re/boot to recovery and flash the .zip file
3. Restart your phone and enjoy!
:good:

nice!

Thanks for this! Just waiting for the flashable version.

Hmmm... Also make sure when you're overwriting the old one that it sticks. You can do this by looking at the date last modified in your file manager. If it says anything but the current date and time then it did not overwrite it. If that's the case make sure your file manager has SU and root privileges and it is mounted in read and write mode. Once I get a flash working this should be much easier, but it does nothing but fail in TWRP when I try to flash the one I have put together.

ok thanks for working on it....but see thats the prob...there wasn't one there originally. maybe the rom i am on had it removed...but either way it should show up after moving it to that folder under live wallpapers right?

The key is to make sure that WeatherWall.apk is your /system/app directory. Normally you should be overwriting an old .apk. Like you said though maybe you're rom doesn't use it so may not work. As far as I know it 100% works with Touchwiz on ICS. Someone said it did work with an AOSP based rom, but I'm not sure if this was ICS or JB.

Unfortunately, I believe that the city name watermark is coded into the live wallpaper, so unless I had the non compiled version I can't do anything to remove it.

I am a lil apprehensive having to ask someone this bc it is a lil embarrassing but I went to system/app and was going to backup the windy weather app but it isn't in there....?? Help? Thank u

This is sick. It worked flawlessly on my Tmobile S3.
Would removing the city watermark also be possible?

[Hack/Re-Release] Samsung Galaxy S LWPs (Non-Root) ** Froyo Only **

27-JAN-2011: These do not work with Gingerbread and I can't fix this for you sorry.
All credit goes to persiansown for the initial Nexus release in this thread.
Confirmed as working for non-rooted users
These are not Nexus One specific
I've tweaked the files a bit and they should install on a non-rooted phone now, all of the libraries are written to /data instead of /system. This makes the apks inefficient, the largish library is installed with every wallpaper.
It's entirely up to you of course and no, I can't do anything about the performance (but it's no different than the port for root users)...
Just install like any other app.
Note to root users: you're better off using the original version.
Thanks for this. Appreciate it. seems to work fine
Works great for me also...but lags the sh*t out of my phone..so uninstalling
BTW Oceanwave is really nice
thanks for this

So I can just place these apks in a folder on my sdcard, and install them with Astro?
I have an EVO 4G, Fresh Evo 0.2..I have not fully rooted.
Answered own question: Yes..you can do this.
Brilliant. So kind of you to do this. Thanks!

Yeah, you can just put on the root of your SD and install with Astro.
It works for N1 2.2 Froyo FR83 (unrooted) but even on the N1 it lags the phone quite a bit. I do like the dandelion one though. Maybe someone can optimize it for the other phones.
Thanks for the wallpaper though.

Yes was using it before i uploaded it; you can too. LOOK HERE. i dont ul anything i dont test myself. you need a root access file explorer like root explorer. sometimes that doesnt even work though. if pushing doesnt work, just flash my mod. i install while im putting everything together, thats why i know it works, cus i never have a problem that way. any problems and ill help you get it going.
​
yeah...i wasn't wanting the whole mod. i just thought your version of swype is more fitting than the red droid incredible version i'm currently using. i tried the download and an install from andexplorer. no go. i didn't bother with a push install. i can try again.
nope. didn't work again. could you please confirm that you've managed to install this, and how you did it? i've tried installing over my own version, and after removing my version and wiping all data and cache then installing, and i've tried pushing to /system/app. i even tried pushing to /data/app.
all fail. installation failed is the message i get.
bump. mag, can you remove uninstall the copy of swype you have try the upload you put here on your own phone? still no worky.
and, why is the apk so much bigger than stock swype? my red swype apk is like half the size
Thanks for keyboard
P.S download is spelled wrong 'dowload' is what you said
I've tried every way possible and get the same. Great looking keyboard mod, would just love a way to install it. I will keep my eye on this thread, hopefully a working apk will be posted soon. Love your work, and thanks for your dedication.
yeah, i'm pretty sure it's borked, jeff.
I figured it out, with root explorer, move the apk to system/app and rename input 2 and match the permissions. It will then be in language and keyboard as a default. Enjoy.

-==UPDATED_MEDIAHUB_for_FROYO_LEAK==-

Easy experiment to get MediaHub updated working with our leaked froyo
Easiest way to get this working on your device if you use Titanium is to
1. Extract zip
2. Place all 3 files in the root folder of TitaniumBackup on sdcard
3. Search for 'hub' in the filter and restore
Attached fotos to show it working

IM sure you can push these adb to their respective locations. You can use root explorer to run a search and sniff out where they are hiding. I know most of us swear by titanium as use it regularly so I sought this method

That's awesome sir I originally didn't care to have it working but once I found out I got approved for 50$ credit in media hub. I was hard at work to fix it

What app are you using to show the weather info in your notification bar? It looks much more useful than having a home screen widget!

Either way on the .zip, you can simply flash this via clockwork.

No it not remove anything, it's just the best application for music you never installed !
You flash it in the recovery or you copy the apk in /system/app/ with root explorer
Yeah I flashed it and it works fine. Just lazy to go into recovery mode that's all.

Requesting S3 Alarm Clock APK

After rooting my S3, I got a little over zealous uninstalling all the bloatware. As such, I mistakenly deleted the alarm clock (ya know, the one that works with S Voice). Does anyone have the apk for the stock touchwiz alarm clock? The only downloads I can find are modded versions ported for other phones.
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to download a stock rom and search the zip. Normally they are located in the \system\app directory. Make sure you match permissions with other system apps.

Hi there, this is how i fixed my alarm problem
firstly download the clock apk relavent to your phone, i think that there are 3 different ones provided in this thread.
Secondly you need to download something from the play store called "Rom toolbox pro" its £3 but if you ask in the forums here someone can probably point you to a free one that does the same thing.
make sure your phone is rooted, install and run Rom toolbox pro. click on Root Browser, navigate to where you put the APK on your phone, copy and move it to root/system/app. Once you have moved the apk find it in the app folder, click and hold it for a couple of seconds. A menu should popup with options, click on "permissions" set them so they are like this. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2pphiyo&s=6 If you are using a different app you will need to set your permissions accordingly, yet again im sure there is someone on here clever enough to help with that.
Now just restart your phone, the APK will run on boot.
These are the exact steps i followed and they worked for me. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2h353dl&s=6
I hope you have the same luck
Steve
