I also experiencing this problem on my Nexus S 4g, but I am running 2.3.7.
I am trying to write a simple live wallpaper, but it seems that this crash
is happening when the preview live wallpaper gets cleaned up (I could
totally be wrong, but that's what it seems like).
Interestingly the live wallpaper does actually work and assigns my
wallpaper as you would expect. In my case the exception is being thrown for
some reason after using the WallpaperManager class.
Please no comments about how wrong this code is... I am trying to reduce
this down to the barest reproducible code bits, and I have also just
started trying to make a live wallpaper an hour ago when I got hit with
this issue.
If you want to duplicate the behavior, just point the relevant path to an
image on your sdcard.
