Setting Live Wallpaper as Default Out-of-box in AOSP Build

[Christopher Price]

Here's one tough nut we haven't been able to crack internally...

How do you set a Live Wallpaper as the default on an Android build, so that it is enabled as the default wallpaper out of the box?

I've seen others ask this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30470567/how-can-i-bundle-some-wallpapers-as-part-of-my-custom-aosp-rom

(But no answer).

And Google mentions in the Android One build guide not to do make live wallpaper the default, at least on low-RAM Android One devices - which indicates there is a way to do it that is AOSP-sanctioned.

So... does anyone know how to actually pull it off? Thanks!

Hi Christopher,

I tried to post this earlier from my mail client, but things went wrong, but it did give me a chance to give you a tested example relevant to M. :-)

Please have a look at the framework/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml item ‘default_wallpaper_component’ which has the following format:
<string name="default_wallpaper_component" translatable="false">package name/service name</string>

For example to enable the Galaxy4 live wallpaper in your build, your device overlay config.xml would contain something like this:
<string name="default_wallpaper_component" translatable="false">com.android.galaxy4/com.android.galaxy4.Galaxy4Wallpaper</string>

(this assumes you have the packages/wallpapers/Galaxy4 git in your manifest)

Cheers,

Ed

Try something like this
https://android-git.linaro.org/gitweb/device/linaro/common.git/commit/c4ab6841171696fa0f17d826d37944f520bd1a35.
It's been a while since we last used it but it might be of some help.
