Does anyone know why changing the Android wallpaper on VExpress from the Live Linaro wallpaper to any other wallpaper causes a non-stop error message that reads "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" ?
Probably due to the lack of proper graphics support on vexpress. No hardware graphics acceleration means it's using software rendering libraries which are missing many of the features Android components expect.
Whilst what I said is true in the general case, it has been pointed out to me by a colleague that vexpress is not setting a property which stops Android from using some of the harwdare only graphics features.
I will fix this for the coming release, but as a workaround, you can execute the following command from the busybox commandline:
setprop ro.nohardwaregfx true
then changing the wallpaper to one of the built-in static wallpapers will work. (Many of the live wallpapers still require hardware graphics acceleration though.)
