I cant seem to find the pre-loaded wallpapers in Astro file directory. Where are these suckers? I can find the live wallpapers and the smoke wallpapers but not the static ones. Help!

If I am not mistaken, they are not actually located in a directory but they are embedded in Launcher.apk under \res\drawable

I've placed pictures on an SD card in media/pictures. Most are in sub-folders with only a handful with no designation just floating around in media/pictures. When I went into pictures to choose a wallpaper EVERYTHING is there. All out in the open. No groups. Even album pictures from my media/music folder.
What's going on? I'd just like to, from the home screen, hit menu > wallpaper > pictures and have them show up in groups so I can just go to my media/pictures/wallpaper folder.
How can I just add walls to the Wallpaper Gallery? What file explorer is good to get from the Market Place?
I've looked around but the answers are scattered and file explorers are mentioned but no one's said outright "yeah, use this one..."
rly? i mean rly!? come on now...
So much activity around the forums and no one knows what to do for sorting pics on an SD card or accessing the default location for wallpapers...

Hi, how is you VB. Coding?
I had the same issue and I just wrote a simple program to rename the .jpg’s in the date order I wanted.
I can post the code if you want? I think its possible to do it in VBA as well, but I found there was a lot more information relating to the .NET stuff
Thanks but I was really just looking for a recommended directory structure for the SD card and a way to get the gallery to NOT show album art for my music. I tried naming the folder .music but then the phone could not find the music!
Also, I have custom ringtones/mp3's used as ringtones on my SD which the phone loses after having mounted it to the pc?! I set a ringtone for a contact then at some point I mount the phone to USB and then I find on my contact that the ringtone is now "unknown." I tried copying the mp3's I most use as ringtones to the phone but I was told that it could not be done by AndExplorer...
Kinda sad at this point. :\
Howdy,
I've been googling and searching forums for info on the location of the "Android wallpapers" folder on the EVO. The folder that starts with the purple static ball, then the green grass, etc.? But I can't seem to find any info on THAT folder. ugh.
I've been tapping every folder in Astro Filer Manager. But, I can't seem to locate the wallpapers...
Help?
Thanks,
Ian
Not sure what you are trying to do , but , If you want to add wallpapers , you can create a folder on the SD card called Wall papers , Then they will appear in the list when you want to change your wallpaper.

I'm trying to locate the actual Android wallpapers, as I would like to play with them in photoshop, then upload them to my SD for use.
the htc wallpapers appear to be in /System/customize/resource
Ok , well at this time most of this is beyond me , but , if you go here:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f37/wallpaper-directory-11685/
read that article , which will lead you back to an XDA article it should explain why we cant find them...
good luck
Dan
if you use toasts root, then nand unlock, you can get to them easily using android commander.
Hi guys, I've got a couple of thousand 256x256 icons stored on my phone and they cause the N1 3D gallery app. to throw a spaz, it get's that processor intensive the phone end up's getting really hot and locking up.
Is there a more slimline, non-3d gallery I can replace it with and use as the default when replacing icons using Bettercut and Launcher Pro?
TIA!

Pull the Gallery.apk from a Sense ROM.
Is that possible without the sense framework?
If yes, would it be possible to use the Sense camera.apk too?
What about placing a .nomedia file in the folders with icons ? That way the Gallery wont scan them.
@thed0g:
Thanks for the tip, it might come in handy.
is that a .nomedia folder or blank file (no extension) btw?

you create a new folder, you can call the folder whatever as long it has '.' infront of it
i.e .pictures

Good tip, only problem is bettercut/launcherpro use the gallery to find the custom icon you want

No matter which gallery you use, loading a few hundred small files will bog the CPU and SD card to 100% for a long while due to inherent physical limits... everytime you start the phone, reload SDcard or restart the installed gallery apps. Browsing them is an even bigger pain. I've been through this torture myself to realize (had 300MB in icons). The Sense gallery handles it far better than the stock gallery though.
The only workaround is as mentioned; to place a period/fullstop infront of the folder name where all the mass of icons are kept, and move the icons you require to another folder. Maybe keep it the same folder name just without the period in this case. All the galleries will pickup the icons in this latter folder and ignore the rest. Loading will be very fast.
So many small icon file reads/writes won't just make your phones flash choke but also your computers drive, unless you're using an SSD.

Its a blank file with name ".nomedia", which you put into a folder that you want to exclude from the Gallery.
".Folder" is just a hidden folder, but also might do the trick ;]
Excellent thanks peeps, now my stalker cam pics folder is hidden from unwanted eyes ¬_¬

Anyone know where the wallpapers are stored on the phone.
I second this. I took an image and set it as wallpaper (not stored in the usual gallery app) and then later changed the wallpaper. Can I get the image back?
Where did you get the image from...was it one you downloaded or was it pre-installed on the phone.

If you're referring to the built-in "Samsung Wallpapers"... I can't find them either.
I'm betting their not just .jpgs sitting in a directory somewhere...
will keep looking
They should be in the stock tw launcher apk, haven't looked cause I don't have the apk anymore.
They are located within the launcher .apk files.
Found these

Go into camera app > take a picture > set image as the wallpaper. Now delete this image from your gallery/sd card ......the deleted image is still your wallpaper even after restarting the phone! Which means it must be stored somewhere else besides the sd card when being used as the background. I want to know where this is because I had an old image I once set as background that I changed away from, and I need the image back.
removed... wrong thread
I've tried searching for this, but mainly come against various versions of "how do I set a wallpaper?" To avoid confusion, I'll just explain the situation.
A friend set an image from the Facebook app as my wallpaper. I like the photo, but just not as my wallpaper, so I wanted to copy and repurpose it. The issue is that I don't know where the image is saved.
I did find one page saying it was somewhere in /data, but that directory is empty for me, so I'm guessing that Samsung (stock EC05 rom) is using a different directory for saved background images. Any ideas where that might be?
i don't think it saves to the phone if you just set as wallpaper, it has to be downloaded..it kind of just copied it and pasted it to your background

You mean like saved in a clipboard? That seems unlikely since user wallpapers are persistent if you turn the phone off and back on, but then again I'm not too familiar with Android to know that it wouldn't do that. I'm still thinking it has to save somewhere ...

i duplicated exactly what you did, i set a pic from my facebook app as wallpaper instead of downloading and copied the image name so i could try and find it easier.. by using root explorer it searched every directory for that image coming up with 0 results, even tho its set as my wallpaper. i then took an image from my sd card and placed it in a data folder and it still appeared in my gallery. so if it is indeed in your phone you would still see it in gallery no matter the directory unless it is in a zipped folder which a pic from facebook wouldn't be... if you want to store that pic on your phone go to the facebook website in browser and make sure you download pic instead of set as wallpaper lol let me know if any of that confused you lol
No, I understood perfectly, thanks for looking into it! I don't even have a facebook account, my girlfriend was using my phone, but the picture itself is VGA resolution (or worse) scaled to fit, and makes a horrible background for an 800 verticle height.
