Does anyone know a wallpaper changer that allows you to import your own images that are already in the right size and does not lose or loses minimal quality? I found that changing wallpapers with Zedge is way better in terms of quality than Astro. However, the process to import wallpapers into Zedge is too tedious so?... Any better method/app?
Thanks!
try EStrongs File Explorer. It has a "LAN" option that you can use to connect to your computer via Wifi. Grab the image, then change your wallpaper via home..
Hope this is what you're looking for.

Ok.. I use the Google+ app on my phone. But because it its not a web app, if I ever am on this network and I see some image that someone has posted which I like, many times I would love to be able to save to my phone. But because this an app, and not built for a browser, I can't just long-press and save it.
And obviously google has not as of yet built this functionality into this app in any other way.
BUT....after much poking and prodding in and to the google+ app, I notice that when you are viewing an image, you CAN set it as your desktop wallpaper!
But, once I set it as my wallpaper, I cannot find it! Using root explorer, I have searched for every .jpg, jpeg, .png, and .bmp and no dice. I have tried opening up quickpic (the free market app), and hit ”display hidden images” (which hides icons and other stuff you wouldn't want to see anyway), and look through EVERYTHING that is revealed...but still I cannot find it. Its on my desktop as the wallpaper, so it must be on the phone.
It is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any clue where a file like this might be stored? I imagine a wallpaper image could be anywhere in the sys partition or the sdcard, but it wouldn't need to be convertthan those above extensions I search on, right? So WTF? Where could it be?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Could anyone point me to the directory on the Kindle Fire where the icons for the apps are stored, sideloaded apps have blurry icons, for example Worms, has a blurry icon, and I was wondering if I could replace it with this one: https://lh5.ggpht.com/SVGmuCTroV4NwMeZfsX-DfdhzTVdwp9PGGi3BHTrbEV04rDJLMBykdyRdNEo3hqXCA=w124
Found it, /data/app then open the apk with an archive viewer then res/drawable/icon.png

Double check your compression settings. When replacing files I think it's supposed to be "Store" or "None". If it's anything other than that, I don't think it will work correctly. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
I can´t find the location of the Icon and the apk file of Real Racing 2, so can somebody give me some hint in this case?
The same with some other Apps, where are the APK Files normaly located after the installation?
Which drawable directory
I'm also experiencing the blurry carousel images from a sideloaded app. But this is an app that I'm writing myself.
In my res/ directory, I have drawable, drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, and drawable-ldpi.
I've tried putting a very high res image in drawable and drawable-hdpi for the carousel image, but I'm still getting a very blown up, really low res image being used on the Fire.
<application android:label="@string/app_name"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher">
is what I'm using to specify...
Which image do I need to actually be making hi res to make this work?
Thanks!
Ninjamorph Pro (paid app on market by Stericson) is an awesome utility to use for this type of thing. You can unpack, modify (including image replacement), and repack any system or market apk from your device without the need for a computer. Works well on my CDMA shooter and KF (cm7). You may recieve an error message saying you have no SD Card when you first run the app. Just run again.

APK Icon Editor
Check out the free and open-source APK editor: APK Icon Editor.
You can easily change APK icons, particularly for Kindle Fire (there are profiles for these Amazon devices).
It's been a long while since I've played with the Nook. Can you update me. Last I looked I had on the todo list:
1) a lightweight email client that only runs when you ask it - is k9mail good enough nowadays?
2) a filemanager. Astro didn't display the filenames in portrait for me last time I checked.
3) Is there any less animated apps that have been found now - like an non animated launcher?
4) got any wallpapers that play nice eink and fit perfectly?
5) what would be a nice way to share files to and from the nook? I remember something for windows that goes via adb allowing a gui to directory browse. needs to be completely lightweight so scp, ftp, dropbox sound like either battery wasting or inconvienient to start and then stop after use. what's your preferred way other than eject the sdcard, samba?

1) I use k9mail and kill it whenever it bothers me using TaskXP
2) 'Es File Exlorer' or 'Rhytm file manager'
3) ReLaunch
https://github.com/yiselieren/ReLaunch/downloads
4) There is a whole thread devoted to wallpapers. Look it up.
5) Don't know about that. I use ADB 'push' and 'pull'
ReLaunch is exactly what we all needed - thanks for letting me know!
Does anyone know where the travel wallpaper app stores the pictures? I have seen a bunch of pictures I would like to save for later but can't seem to find where the temporary location for them is. Any help would be great.
Using Galaxy S7 for one week. I have my name on owner's area. Saw this youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkasGhcitIY) on how to get name on S5 home screen. Want to do the same on my new S7. Can someone please explain step by step how to do it using the default wallpaper? IF not the default wallpaper, then on a wallpaper you can download from the Google play store. Detailed step by step would be appreciated. Where do you find the location of the wallpaper in order to edit it.
I am not really technically oriented but marvel at the great themes the people have made. If not too much trouble, what tools do you use (on a pc) to do such a great job.
Bob
well step-by-step for me would be:
1: download default wallpaper to PC
2: open wallpaper in Photoshop
3: insert my name with text of my choice
4: save
5: transfer back to my phone
6: set as new default wallpaper
7: smoke a cigarette
Location of the wallpaper?
Thank you for the quick reply. Where is the default wallpaper file located. I did not add an extra sim card so the Galaxy S7 phone is just the way you got it from the store.

I would just DL it directly to your PC via internet:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sung+galaxy+s7+default+wallpaper
I'm not sure which one you want, as it comes with many stock wallpapers, but many stock GS7 wallpapers come up available for download this way
Couldn't help the throwback "lmgtfy", but as a previous owner of an S5, it was likely rooted, as some custom ROMs allow you to add your name at the carrier location, as well as on the lockscreen, etc. And that's likely what you saw. But just Photoshopping a wallpaper should net the results you're looking for. Assuming I understood your question correctly
