I'm trying to find out where my current wallpaper is stored. I've looked through the files on both my phone and SD card, including the Photos file but don't see any sign of it. Any idea where it is stored?
system/media folder.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Thanks for your reply. Looked in system/media folder and all I have are the following folders:
android_audio
audio
bootanimation
None of these have a wallpaper file/photo in them.
Again, thanks so much for the help.
ok. i will check that out.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
it depends on what ROM you are using.
on a sense rom (even a de sensitized) it would be under system/customize/recource. im still searching for this in vanilla.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Thanks for your reply and further investigation.
I'm not rooted and am running the stock 2.1 w/update 1 and the ota update.
I did look in the system/customize/resource folder and although there are all the htc wallpapers....no sign of the photo I'm using for my current wallpaper.
I may have deleted the current wallpaper from Photos....but the wallpaper is still active on my inc. I'm hoping that I can track the wallpaper down and then save it again.
Thanks again.

Hi, I've been using VillainROM 12 for a couple of weeks now, and recently flashed cronos froyo and saw that the lockscreen pattern had the background of my home screen.
Is there any way to port this feature to VillainROM 12 as I have reverted back to it now.
Thanks, Andy
Sent from my HTC Hero using the XDA mobile application
just had a quick look at the htclockscreen.apk from Villain12 but coudn't find any images which think could be for the background of the lock pattern screen. I thought it would be as simple as swapping it out with a transparent image.
however there is an xml called htc_keyguard_screen_lock.xml .
compare the one from cronos to the villain one with notepad++ (my lappy is in for repair, no notepad++ on this one sorry),... or compare the whole apk even.
..... Or beg someone to have a go,.... It cant be that much of a big job.
.... EDIT.... Or nandroid backup, then try just using the htclockscreen.apk from cronos on the villain ROM.
Thanks for the reply. I've had a look for htclockscreen.apk but can't find it,which directory is it is and is it in the system or the flashed zip?
Sent from my HTC Hero using the XDA mobile app
Yeah, so take it from the zip file that you would flash through the recovery.
the apk will be in system/app.
Thanks. I started making some progress, swapping some .apk files between the two ROMs but the went to cronos and did not find 'htclockscreen.apk' it is a vanillaROM so there probably isn't an htc app in it. Do you know what the .apk would be on a vanillaROM?
Thanks, Andy
Oh sh#t,.... How did I miss you were talking about CronosFroyo?... I'm sorry.
Ok, so its not as easy as swapping out the apks. Hmmmm,.... I'll try to have a look when I get home for you.
It might be a no go though.
Get onto the Villain site and ask them in the chat thing.....
Mate, had a look at Cronos Froyo and yeah you're right, nothing in system/apps looks anything like a lockscreen. I think its time you asked the experts........ PULSER.... Help this guy out!!!!
So I found this APK here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750292
Question is, can I just rename or freeze "Gallery3d.apk" under system/app and place this APK and then install it via Astro on our phones to use the older 2D gallery?
i REALLY don't like the 3D gallery.. and before I go borking up my phone I wanted to check.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Ok.. so that didn't work. Any ideas?

Why not just remove the old gallery.apk from system/apps and put the new one there?

Wrong forum.
Thread moved to General.
My bad about wrong forum.
Is replacing the apk with the new one after renaming it any different? From swapping them out? The one on my phone is named gallery3d.apk. the one I want to replace it with is gallery.apk
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I don't think you need to rename it. Just move gallery3d.apk to the sdcard in case you need it then put gallery.apk in system/apps and see if your phone recognizes it.
Sent from my StupidFast/Blackhole/Revolution Fascinate
Nope. Didn't work
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Hm. Are you running a deodexed rom? If so, is the gallery.apk (2d gallery) a deodexed version of that app? If it isn't then it would be incompatible.
i am running deodexed .. gotcha.. this is all still new to me. Thanks.. Now the hunt is on for a deodexed 2d gallery.apk.
=)
I posted a thread in APPS section about this very thing, someone replied but I have yet to try it out honestly, been sick/busy, if it helps.
Hey Guys,
I really like the option to turn the SMS MMS app into black in cyanogen so i replaced my oxygen app with the one from cyan7. But is there a way to get a black GMail app? Or did i just not find that option?
Thx a lot!!!

Would be nice if someone could make a 2.3 based black one. The text is black so you would have to edit the xml files to make the text white or light grey.
Ive tried this before on other apps, but unfortunately it is beyond me.

On a slightly related note, I've installed the black Mms.apk from the C7 via adb but it keeps reverting to the regular one on reboots. Any ideas?
EDIT: I pushed via adb and set the permissions and it's all good.
Thanks for your work! Black GMail would be awesomesauce! However I've tried to install it and I get "not installed" error. I'm using Redux 1.0 ROM. I didn't uninstall original GMail app first because uninstall button isn't enabled and it can't be pressed. I'm sure this is what causes error, any idea how get rid of GMail?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Use ADB if you're not S-OFF to remove Gmail.apk from /system/app then push the black one I posted to /system/app.
Make sure the permissions are the same as the other apps in that location.
Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and reboot.
If you're S-OFF you can do the above through root explorer or similar...
Should be ok.

Brilliant thanks for that. Its not quite black, but the text is white, so possibliy I can edit the grey to black if it is controlled by .png files. It is version 2.3 too, which is the latest version that works for me.

Hi,
can I use this apk on my Desire rooted and without any rom??
I run CM 7 RC (Honeybred theme) and as much dark as possible (although never only black). I try to get working as much as possible from the brilliant dark mods in here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/blacked-out/
There's updated GMail apks available there too.

You need a ROM to run your phone and this apk. What are you trying to do?
here its a flashebal ZIP
you can flash this , i did it over miui , cm7 , sens roms , and it's working
it's not my work , so don't tank me
and also you can extract the apk , replace the gmail app it in the SYS/APP folder
and flash you rom , it will work also

Yep and unlike 2.3.2, it actually works. I liked the 2.3 one I was using but would have preferred grey for unread email and black for read email not the other way around.
Thanks, this will help make Android more unified.
Will anyone want to take on this task? I would really appreciate it and I'm pretty sure other people would be interested in this.
I've searched the forum and found a few flashable zips for this mod but none work for new sense 2.1, 3.0 roms. I've even searched google and still nothing. I also found a couple of threads here and on android forums on how to remove the clock and I would try it myself with apk manager but I do not own a computer.

I'm on unity right now. But its not my daily. My daily is panache. My tethering stopped working on panache so I'm waiting for drew to update. But I know alot of people use panache and unity. So if you or some one else that can, make the mod for both unity and panache sense versions would be great.

Depending on your rom, look into the settings an you can get rid of it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
If I understand right, the easiest way would be to:
Decompile SystemUI.apk
Change layout.xml to reduce clock frame width to 0.
Recompile SystemUI.apk
If SystemUI doesn't hold dependencies on Sense framework, one file can be made for both ROMs. If it does - then it will have to be separate.
I'll try to do it some time today, and post the result if I get anywhere.
Miui how to ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
In MIUI there's a menu option, if I remember right.
I've modified SystemUI.apk as per my own suggestions above.
Now I need testers.
The file is attached. I'm uploading APK on purpose - to avoid happy flashers that'll flash anything without knowing how they'll revert from it.
You'll need to push it to /system/app/.
Howto:
Reboot to recovery
adb shell mount /system
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb shell unmount /system
Reboot
In case it doesn't work - to restore do the same thing with SystemUI.apk from your ROM. If you don't have the ROM available - please back up SystemUI.apk before overwriting it.
If it works - I'll make it update.zip.

Thanx for the effort but I tested it and it did not work. The systemui you edited breaks the signal icons and the clock is still there. It puts the signal bars infront of the 4G. Also the 4g icon is tiny and has the errows on top.

another possible way is to use root explorer or some other file explorer that has rw access to the phone. copy the downloaded systemUI.apk from sdcard and move to /SYSTEM. (DON'T MOVE INTO /SYSTEM/APP YET OR YOU'LL GET FC'S.) change the systemUI.apk permissions to rw-r--r-- and then copy over to /system/app (tap yes when root explorer ask if you want to replace).

So.. in Royal Ginger (and CM7?) i have this option..
Royal Ginger Settings>Interface> Status Bar Tweaks> Show Clock
I have my status bar clock turned off. Also, under tablet tweaks, i've moved my status bar to the bottom.
I wouldn't try reinventing the wheel here.
Obviously, RoyalGinger / CM7 are different ROMs, and have this option made in code and compiled from source. Sense ROMs can't be compiled, since nobody but HTC has the source, thus it must be made differently.

I did state in my first post for sense roms, if it wasn't for sense I would've never started the topic. I know asop roms like cm have that tweak, I've used them before.

I have not heard of such a thing in sense, perhaps check the desire hd section that' where a lot of activity is, especially on sense mods. I know miui has the option too, but i see you dont use that.
Hey people,
what I'm looking for is an alarm clock tone called "New Day". I used to have it on my Sense roms (wasn't on an AOSP rom for a while) and now I switched to CM7.2 RC2 and I backed up my ringtone and notification sound but forgot about the alarm clock tone. Could someone upload it for me? Also if you have a nice upload, could you upload original HTC ringtones/notifications/alarms, so that I could back it up on my external HDD for the future? I thought I had them, but can't find them. I also looked around google and this forum but couldn't find it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanked for.
Regards,
Jack.

You see the problem is, that I don't have the zip file. All I have is a CWM backup and I have the system.img file, but I tried mounting it in acetoneiso (I'm on Ubuntu 12.04), but it doesn't recognise it as an image file. Is there any windows file that could extract the system.img file? I have wine installed so i can try running a windows app to do this.
edit: I mean windows application, not file.
I upload the default audio folder with the ringtones/notifications/alarms you're looking for..
I can not insert a link because I do not have 8 posts.. but i can do this:
www54 . zippyshare . com/v/89557444/file . html
That's exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you very much. I don't know why but I prefer the sense based roms ringtones than AOSP. Thanks again!
