Ok Im using the ROM listed below in my signature, and I'm getting ready to theme it with Androdena::Tek::Galaxy!
It has the blue background and custom Icons.
Anyway my question is how do save it? [BackDrop] And then restore this [BackDrop] picture after I theme it, cuz its gonna replace it with a shot of earth!
And I just cant part with this Beautiful Brunette!
isn't that your wallpaper?
Just get shootme and use it to take a picture of your desktop or just look into the wallpaper folder for that rom and put it in another folder

I already checked my wallpaper folder all of them , and she's no where to be found!
She's somewhere in the ROM program, but no where I can get to or find!
Also if I take a snapshot of her with the Widgets, that,ll be no good unless I remove all of them, theres got to be a way of accessing this wallpaper photo of it clean, so I can add it to my wall Paper Folder.

if that is the default wallpaper for the rom you will be able to find it in the framework-res.apk use your favorite method to pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework either to your phone or your computer. then unzip either using root explorer or 7zip (just right click and extract with 7zip on pc) then look in /res/drawable-hdpi the wallpaper will be named default_wallpaper.jpg or something to that effect.
Cheers

Nice, thanks shreddintyres, that sounds like a viable option, my only ? now is what to use to pull the framework-res.apk from the /system/framework, the rest Ive got a grip on, but Ill start reading until I figure out exactly what you just instructed, haven't EVER dissected a ROM yet, so I need to learn, so I can retrieve that Wallpaper, of course it sure would've been alot easier if it had been in the wallpaper folder, but I'll be a good learning lesson. If i really want to customize this ROM the way I want!

I use Root Explorer. Works perfectly. I actually just used this same exact method to pull the default wallpaper from Trigger ROM.
Yeah its in the framework-Res.apk as default_wallpaper.jpg. I meant to include it and several other dark ones but must have forgotten to add them.
EDIT; I've added a zip file to the OP of Simply Honey Pro that contains the extra wallpapers I forgot to include, including the one references here.

just call me Shred
there are 2 methods that i like to use.
Using the phone as eminembdg said use root explorer (one of the most useful applications you will ever purchase for your phone) go into the system/framework directory then at the top of your screen there will be a button that says Mount r/w press that now you will be able to read and right to that directory (do not delete anything you will soft brick). now scroll down to find framework-res.apk long press and select copy then navigate to some directory on the directory /sdcard and paste.
Using the computer you will use adb. this requires that you have the android-sdk installed.
reboot phone into recovery (cwm recovery works the best)
open command prompt on computer, connect phone to pc with usb
navigate to directory where you have the android sdk then navigate to /android-sdk/platform-tools
execute the following commands
adb devices (this starts the adb daemon and allows will indicate that your phone and computer are communicating)
now execute the following command
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\<your chosen directory>
you now have the framework-res.apk on your computer
Cheers
It would be great for you , since you are interested, to try out those methods mentioned.
But... if all else fails, I could download the ROM and pull it for you, lemme know if you'd want me to do that for ya.
See my post above for easiest method.

i
With all due respect. I don't pay attention to whats posted down there when helping someone. A lot of ppl change their roms but don't change their sig.. Told ya the op would have most all the answers after all they made the rom
Thanks to ALL
To all the responders, appreciate all of ya, And Id like to pony up an apology to nomadrider123, I didnt mean to be rude, but after looking at it, [the responce] It certainly appears that way!
Anyway I got it done using a fresh download of the ROM , found the JPEG picture separated it, and uploaded it to the phone and then to my gallery, where it is now a file to be used as a wallpaper choice!
From there you choose it, and then Re-size it to fit right/save and there she is again!
Anyway Ive themed it already to a blue background, and then re-installed the Beautiful DAME as my wallpaper, and I now have a custom phone I really like and is easy on my eyes!
My only gripe now is I cant change the icons in TW, any suggestions on that?
IS TW a different animal, and needs a different software interface to MOD it?
And yes!! I'm a TW Fan. I love it! Navigates so fluidly!
I have installed on my phone ADW EX and Launcher Pro, And when I'm in TW GT Launcher I cant change the Icons, which doesn't make sense to me! So Ill figure it out or everybody here is quick with help! And Ill go with the soundest advice I get from Ya,ll! Again many thanks to all who gave!
Its a great feeling to customize my Business Tool, with minds all from all over the Globe!! Awesome community here!!
You have a couple of choices if your talking about changing your app icons. The first and simplest is to use ADW and chose a the with the icons you want. But since you like the TW launcher you'll have to change the icon of each app. You can open the AOL's just like you did to find the wallpaper. Same folder and its usually icon.PNG. if you use 7zip you can move the files around pretty easy. Just make sure and rename the new one the same as the old and stay away from the XML files unless your sure what your doing with it.
PM me if you or need more info.

In order to increase your resolution on the arc you need the phone to be rooted and get root explorer from the market (You can use ADP too)
Here are the steps:
1. Open root explorer and navigate to /system/
2. Mount the folder as r/w
3. Long press the build.prop file and select edit in text editor
4. Scroll all the way to the bottom and look for r0.sf.lcd_density=240
5. Change it to r0.sf.lcd_density=194 (I find 194 works the best, d4rkwind prefers 180 see post#28)
6. Save and Exit
7. Reboot your phone and you should now have a higher resolution.
8. To ensure that all apps span full screen install spareparts from the market and uncheck "Compatibility Mode"
The stock launcher app will not work too well with the new resolution, Try ADW launncher as thats what I use.
Reserved for future use.
Or u could just get lcd density chsnger on market lol does same thing

Dear Tasos you are wrong, with this magic trick your display turns into a retina display, the one that iphone4 use! And maybe capable of 3D.. lol
Does 194 work Facebook and Market? I tried 210 (my favorite) previously but Facebook and Market didn't fill the screen which made it look quite awful..

For some reason LCD density changer did not work and slowed my system down.

so i had a completely stock atrix as of a few days ago, and i decided to dive in head first and start tinkering. im rooted, sideloaded, and gingerblured. and i love it. its fantastic. my problem is that i took a picture of my girlfriend as my wallpaper before flashing gingerblur, and forgot to back anything up. well the flash wiped everything, my wallpaper didnt change, by luck... but i cant seem to find the file anywhere on the atrix. aaaaaand i dont have another copy. anyone have an idea on how i might be able to find it?
really? nobody has any clue?
There are numerous programs that will attempt to recover data from SD cards though I am not sure they will work if the pic was on the internal storage partition on your phone.
Its your girlfriend right?
Take another pic?
I dont remember if i stored it on internal or sd. But being as its still the wallpaper, it has to be cached somewhere, right? And while i could take another picture, perhaps i like the one i have. Id like to excersize my options before giving up. But thank you for that well thought out, very contributory answer shriva. Much obliged...

Try this...
Hook it up to your PC and select "USB Mass Storage". Go to the drive representing your phone in "My Computer" on your PC. Use the windows search function to search *.jpg

I'm out of ideas then. If you only want it for wallpaper then you could clear off a home screen and use a screenshot app to save a copy, but if it's scrolling when you switch home screens then you're going to miss some of it. Also, depending on your launcher you're going to probably have some visible icons in the dock.

Try this path using root explorer.
data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper
There should be a file in there called wallpaper.
I would use copy though, not move.

Thankyou goscrewsir. Thats where it was. Awesome.
So the proximity sensor completely stopped working sibce I upgraded to Gingerbread. Well the little red light still comes on but when I put the phone to my face while in a call I expect the screen to automatically turn off but I forget that it no longer works so I end up pressing buttons while talking. If anyone else is experiencing the same issue, or if there are any known fixes someone PLEASE help. Other than that I still really like Gingerbread.

Sadly I don't have any help for you as I am limited in my knowledge...However, I used Kenn's 2.3.4 beta ROM a couple weeks ago or whatever, and I ALSO have noticed that the sensor doesn't seem to work properly. It works right most of the time for me (dunno about you), but there have been times where it screws up. Kind of lame, but I'm sure this is fixable if other people experience the same issue and someone is willing to fix.
Try fix permissions
I am also experiencing this same issue, worked before but not now. I have already fixed permissions...

Yes but since the phone has the sensor I'd rather not have to hit the power button every time I start a phone call. Then I have to hit the power button again to get to the dialer or other apps. Hence inconvenient.

I use root explorer. open build prop. make it r/w at the top. Hold finger on screen to open menu. scroll down to open in text editor.

Hi, I'm running Slim 4.3 Build 1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393971) on my lcd version nexus s and really like the on screen buttons included with the rom. Is there any way to remove the back light from the capacities buttons and stop them vibrating?
Thanks
If you download Nexus S Tools from the Play Store, you can disable the capacitive lights, and there's a file somewhere in system/usr that has the keycodes for the capacitive buttons (you'll know what file it is when you see it, there's like 4 lines for back, home, search, and menu). What you gotta do is put a # in front of each line and reboot, then the capacitive buttons will be disabled.

To edit the file, download a file explorer (ES File Explorer is what I use) and enable "root explorer" then go into settings and make sure /system is set to "R/W" (there's a little check box somewhere).
From there go into /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl and open it as text. Then put a # in front of every line that doesn't have one and then reboot

As long as you have root, NSTools is always my go-to option since its designed for this phone specifically, so I'd give that a whirl. I don't know exactly what file controls the backlight so I can't help you there

I already tried NStools, but it require a modified kernel to edit the capacitive keys backlight.
Thank you anyway
^Same, I'm trying NStools but I don't thin the kernal is letting me do much. Any recommendations on a good krnal to flash with slim?
Marmite that comes with slim rom is good. I have disabled the back lights using that and nstools in the past. But often they would flicker if you touched them which bugs me.
In the settings somewhere you should be able to disable the hardware keys without altering any system files. I am not on that rom anymore so I can't tell you exactly where!
Ended up using nstools + disabling vibration
esexplorer is pretty complicated
Thanks for the help everybody
