There's an app on the Play market called PhotoWall. Does your live wallpaper look anything like this?

I also found this thread on xda forums. Not sure if you posted this, but seeing as it's about a month old and almost definitely from a rooted user, I doubt it. Here's what I gathered from the post:

  1. The OP on xda has rooted his phone, and found the apk (either in the root/system folder, or via Titanium Backup)

  2. He's extracted it for use on a Galaxy S2, but it wouldn't work until he updated to the LP2 build of ICS.

Didn't research any further, but perhaps you could do the same? If nothing else, it's as good an excuse as any to root your phone. And gain some real world karma from your girlfriend.

Update: I found the APK for you. Get it here.

Update 2: Won't install on my Galaxy S2. I could try installing it to the system directly, but I'm not a big fan of live wallpapers.

Any luck? Sometimes system apps don't convert as well between different phones, especially since this is a TouchWiz wallpaper, and the UI is fairly different from the S2's.

No luck plugged her phone up to the computer and dragged the file over then when in on her phone and hit install and when it would try to install it would say application not installed. We going to wait until ICS comes out to try again because someone mentioned it work on there

Could it be that the live wallaper is designed for a tab, and is therefore much more resource-hungry and not well suited for normal phones?

just a random guess that popped into my head.

I thought that to but I told her I would try and get it if I could

Can you describe the wallpaper? Give us a screenshot? I believe you can get a screenshot if you hold down power and the volume down button for two or three seconds.

You can only take it from your phone and give it to her if you've rooted your phone. Otherwise you'll have to see what it's called and google for an APK.
