Can anyone point me to the folder / place that I can rename or replace the default nexus one wallpaper?
Live Wallpapers always crash, then loading the default colored grid wallpaper.
What I'd like to do is say, take the starfield live paper, and give it the same name as the default.. so if it crashes, it's automatically reloaded.
Just an annoying little issue I've experienced since the device was released..
(Now on the latest Cyan.)
Thanks!

On my phone running 2.3 the lockscreen shows whatever wallpaper I normally have including live wallpapers. However, it looks like in 3.1 you need to choose a separate wallpaper for the lockscreen and it won't let me choose a live wallpaper. Does anyone know a work around for this?
Hi !
I would like to extract the image of a live wallpaper, but I can't seem to find it.
Used apk tool to decompile the apk, and when I look for the image there's only a 256x256 thumbnail of the wallpaper in the res/drawable folder... How come ?
Another solution would be to modify the apk to make the wallpaper still instead of animated, but I don't know where to start. Is there a file I could modify to do that ?
Thanks a million for your help !
Cheers
It sounds like the wallpaper is generated entirely with an algorithm. Live wallpapers are actually special apps that run behind the icons.
A simple solution is to just take a screenshot of the wallpaper. You can select it in the Live Wallpaper picker and take a screenshot of it. Then, you can crop out the bottom area that has the Settings and Set Wallpaper buttons.
What wallpaper are you trying to take a still image of?
That's what I thought... Damn.
I tried to use a screenshot but it's not the same since it's smaller and can't cover the sliding effect. Better than nothing though.
I'm trying to get a still image of the "Holo Grid" wallpaper.
Thanks anyway
(The following applies only to the original TouchWiz launcher, modified to enable scrolling wallpaper.)
I've noticed this lately - TouchWiz will quite frequently ignore your specific scaling settings in whatever wallpaper app you're using and crop out parts of the left and right sides of the wallpaper so that you don't get to see everything in full. It even does this with its own default wallpapers! Here's the proof:
(Original wallpaper (pic reduced to half its original size for easier viewing).)
(How the leftmost and rightmost sides look on the default launcher, default 5-home-screen setup, using Samsung's own wallpaper picker.)
In case you're wondering, the amount of home screens has nothing to do with it. All adding more does (and from this 5-screen default you can only add 2 more anyway) is slow the scrolling rate down in order to display just as 'much' of the wallpaper as before.
Furthermore, I've seen it screw up the scaling in similar ways with programs like QuickPic, ES File Explorer, Wallpaper Wizardrii and what have you.
The only workaround so far that I've found to getting it to display the whole wallpaper without leaving bits off of the edges is by resizing the wallpaper's width to 1680 pixels (so for instance, 1680x1920) and using the "Image 2 Wallpaper" app from Google Play, telling it to not resize the wallpaper.
I'm hoping this is something that can be rectified by modifying the SecLauncher APK, or the SecWallpaper APK, or whatever. An alternative launcher shouldn't be the only solution really!
I'm working on setting up a second NST and this time I want to arrange the launcher a little differently. I'm using ADW EX 1.3.3.9 and it seems to have picked up a default wallpaper from somewhere on the device (screenshot below). I can't find any way in ADW to do anything with wallpaper and I can't locate the image that's being used anywhere on the device. I don't want any wallpaper at all.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Edit: That was almost too easy...once I found the right ancient app. Then I created a 800x600 white png file and chose it for wallpaper. Magically it replaced the mysterious "n" image! I've attached a copy of the useful app
I have a simple (and boring) app for setting wallpaper.
You get a choice of black, white or aqua.
Note that wallpaper is usually larger than the screen size due to panning.
The only way to find out how large is to ask the system.
Code:
WallpaperManager manager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(this);
int width = manager.getDesiredMinimumWidth();
int height = manager.getDesiredMinimumHeight();
Wallpaper-1.0.apk is in the signature.
Hey!
I install the Google Pixel Live Wallpapers on the phone, but the MIUI Settings doesn't recognize the wallpaper, so I have install Google Wallpapers App. And they will show it up and I can set as Default Live Wallpaper. But after a few times turn on and off the screen, the Google Live Wallpaper replace it through one of Xiaomis Stock Wallpaper.
Are there any options, where I can set Non Xiaomi live wallpapers as Default wallpaper? Settings-> Wallpaper I only can choose the 4 installed live wallpapers....
Even Xiaomi's own 24h live wallpaper doesn't work for me. I think live wallpapers are completely broken on global ROM right now.
I've also noticed that my lock screen settings don't stick and it changes to my home wallpaper after a reboot. It's a mess.
Yes, I realize that xiaomis live wallpaper have the same issue. it always replace it with a stock wallpaper..
But I found out, there is a way to set custom live wallpaper with MIUI. You can copy a mp4 video in a miui folder, then you can choose it and set it as lockscreen and homescreen without third party apps. But there are still the same bug with the live wallpaper
